2011 In Review: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Feat ‘The Dumbass Queen Of The Year 2011’

We are in the days when reviews upon reviews keep flying everywhere on the World Wide Web. And as you know GhanaCelebrities.Com is ahead of the game hence the reason why we are bringing you the reviews before the rest…

There is a line that is synonymous with reviews these days in Ghana. Every review seems to start with “this year has been a good year”. I will not hesitate to use the same line because 2011 indeed has been a good year, in fact a superb year.

It has been a great year for us at GhanaCelebrities.Com. It was a year that we created hundred enemies and made millions of friends, love ones and families. Unlike 2010 which was a tough year, 2011 was the direct opposite. It’s a great feeling when you do something in your corner and someone out there notices and acknowledges your effort.

If you didn’t know, when GhanaCelebrities.Com hit the World Wide Web, people started running their entire website with our stories. Our dominance in entertainment reportage in Ghana was acknowledged by several people in and outside Ghana. For instance we were one of the media houses in Ghana who were invited by the organisers of the Africa Movie Academy Awards [AMAA] in Nigeria in March.

We have stepped on lots of toes but what are toes if not meant to be stepped on.

Here is a little highlight of events that happened in 2011 in the Ghana Entertainment Industry tagged ‘the good’, ‘the bad’, and ‘the ugly’.

Actor Prince David Osei last Friday at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra joined celebrities with clothing line as he launched his P.D.O fashion collections, named ‘Snipperdee Wear’.

Present were various celebrities of Ghana’s movie industry who made special appearances on the catwalk to support him.

Among them were Kalsum Sinare, Vivian Achor, Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah, Leila Djansi, Luckie Lawson, Nikki Samonas, Helen Asante, Rana, D Black and Azigiza.

The rest were Majid Michel, John Dumelo, Kofi Adjorlolo, Fred Nuamah, and James Gardner. Comedians David Oscar and Funny Face were emcees of the night. Music sensations Rana, Chase, Atumpan and St. Riya took the audience on a music journey with performances of their hit tracks.

The ceremony was the actor’s way of giving back to the society that contributed to his success. The occasion was therefore used to raise funds for his PDO Foundation to help the needy in society.

A similar event is expected to take place outside Ghana very soon. Friday’s event was not just exciting but amazing.

Hello GhanaCelebrities.Com,

First of all, let me congratulate the minds behind this informing and educative Ghanaian online platform-GhanaCelebrities.Com. I am so much late in finding this Blog as I only stumbled upon it last Friday during my search for the latest Ghanaian movie stories to help me with a project.

So far my weekend has been amazing since I have spent hours upon hours reading through some of the interesting articles (especially Ghana Movies related articles) and comments on here. I did not know such a platform which documents in detail developments in the Ghanaian Entertainment Industry exists.

After going through several pages and comments, I have come to quickly realize how much some of the visitors/readers of this website are undermining the achievements of tall standing Actresses like Jackie Appiah and Ama K. Abebrese.

It seems pure hate is constantly being channelled towards these two achieving women especially Jackie Appiah who has won Best Actress-both Africa and Ghana (African Movie Awards and Ghana Movie Awards). Currently, who can be compared to such a talent in the Ghanaian movie industry?

Ama K. Abebrese on the other hand in months after joining the industry fought her way to Africa to win Africa’s Best Actress Award, throwing the likes of Genevieve Nnaji straight into the gutters! What is more of an achievement than this? What were those who have been in the industry for donkey years doing? Showing their pretty selves on screens I guess.

Why is it that, Ghanaians especially readers of this platform seem to find it difficult to accord these two hard working ladies the necessary respect and support? Those with talent and the edge to work forward must be encouraged and supported and not those who are simply in movies because of their looks!

Readers’ Mail: Do These Local Champions Really Think They Are Celebrities?

Hello Chris-Vincent,

I know your blog is called GhanaCelebrities.Com but please give me a space as a loyal reader to call a spade a spade.

You cannot imagine how livid I am after reading your post titled ‘Treat Us Like Celebrities…What About Behave Like Celebrities?’

To be frank, until I came across this blog, I did not know any celebrity existed in Ghana. Even if any existed, I certainly did not think the person will come from our low-key entertainment industry.

It is annoying to see the likes of Nadia Buari, Jackie Appiah, Yvonne Nelson, Yvonne Okoro, John Dumelo, Majid Michel and others flaunting around as celebrities with no achievement to their names. It gets even more annoying when these talentless and no-achievers come out demanding to be treated as celebrities.

And guess the sort of treatment they are demanding? They do not want to join queues at Banks and other public places. They think they should be allowed to jump queues because they are LOCAL CHAMPIONS…

Do these so called Ghanaian Celebrities know who a celebrity is at all? Let me do some coaching here and they better pay me after this…LOL
