Grammy bans too much body exposure in this year’s award
This is interesting as CBS has issued a warning letter to female celebrities to cover up at this year’s 55th Grammy awards…No breast exposure,butt cracks,side boobs and lots more.
This is likely going to have two effects.It is either viewers drops as there would be nothing to attract the male folks or the viewers increase as we would want to see what usual offenders like Rihanna,Lady Gaga ,J.Lo would wear.
I have the feeling Rihanna will break the rules*fingers crossed*

On the 10th of February, the rapper is also slated to speak at the African Leadership conference at the prestigious Harvard University alongside Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Since his record- breaking album MI:2, MI has been appointed Vice-President for Music at Chocolate City, founded Loopy Music, been appointed an active UN ambassador for the Smuggling of Migrants and has featured in no less than seven music hits.
“I don’t have any other information except that it’s going to be beyond anyone’s imagination,” MI said in reply to a question. “Everyone just has to wait a few days for the unveiling to begin,” he added with a smile.
Feelers from his office suggest that the rapper and label Chocolate City are pulling out all the stops for M.I’s upcoming album.

Genevieve, Omotola: No more war?
Star actors, Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, may have finally decided to sheath their swords. In the past, the wave -making acts had been reported not to be the best of friends.

Although they denied the report at various times and featured side by side in blockbuster movie, Ije, those who are conversant with their no-love lost relationship, say the reverse was the case.
Not too long ago, both attended the birthday soiree of the Actors Guild of Nigeria’s president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, where they at least got on well with each other just as much as they did with other colleagues present.

Beyonce’s Devastating Miscarriage Confession
The usually private Beyonce did a rare thing and opened up about being a mom AND the tragic miscarriage she suffered two years ago before she had Blue Ivy.

Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z actually mentioned the miscarriage last year in his song “Glory” which was dedicated to Blue Ivy and included the lyrics: “Last time, the miscarriage was so tragic. We was afraid you would disappear. But nah, baby, you magic.”
Beyonce’s recent revelation isn’t as shocking since we knew about it from Jay’s song, but it’s devastating to hear her talk so honestly about her heartbreak.
Beyonce is debuting a new documentary on HBO next month “Life Is But A Dream,” and revealed, “About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life.”
“I picked out names. I envisioned what my child would look like…I was feeling very maternal,” Bey reveals.
We’re surprised Beyonce is talking about this intimate moment; especially as she remembers the day she found out she had miscarried.
“I flew back to New York to get my check up – and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat.”
That being said, Beyonce being the consummate professional that she is, turned that tragedy into a tune.
“I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I’ve ever written in my life. It was actually the first song I wrote for my album and it was the best form of therapy for me, because it was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through,” she reveals.
Beyonce didn’t name the song, but after a careful listen to her last album “4” it doesn’t sound like it was included and many think she’s going to include it on her upcoming album.
This revelation confirms why Beyonce was SO excited to announce her pregnancy at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards when she proudly showed off her growing baby bump.

Hon. Rotimi Makinde Has never Given N1000 Before – Lizzy Anjorin
The rumour going round that former actor and producer, Hon. Rotimi Makinde is having a smooth sailing relationship with the beautiful actress, Lizzy Anjorin, may not be true after all as the actress has come out to debunk the rumour.
“Let me establish a point Honourable Rotimi Makinde has never given me a thousand naira. He knows me as a very serious girl whose future is bright. When I celebrated my mother, he honoured me by attending because he knew I was the only child of my mother.
He was not the only friend of mine who was there. Alhaja Salawa Abeni and Lanre Teriba were there and a lot of other notable faces and they all came because they wanted to honour a young lady who was an only child.
I remember I asked a guy who I saw at the party if we had met before and he said no, but he knew me and I should just continue with my good work. People just like saying what they don’t know because the Rotimi Makinde they are talking about was here sometime ago to shop for his wife.
He bought things and he paid instantly. Rotimi Makinde is a very nice man who believes in people who have dreams.”
You have heard it all, those who are insinuating an amorous affair going on between the two should read this first before making any pronouncement.

Are Chris Brown and Rihanna done? Rihanna kinda confirms it…
Just last week Rihanna tweeted she was missing ‘her Nigga’, now she’s saying she’s single? Check out her cryptic post on Instagram a few hours ago (above).

Well, who can blame her? She’s probably had enough. First, Chris Brown invited his ex Karrueche Tran to Paris to be with him, then over the weekend a French reality star claimed to have slept with him in Paris. Oh well, she probably needed closure…getting back with him and ending things was probably what she needed to do to purge him out of her system. Now keep it moving…
