More about Karen and Wendall (Big Brother Amplified)


Nigerian, Karen and Zimbabwean, Wendall have emerged joint winners at the just concluded reality television show, Big Brother Amplified, taking home $200,000 each. With most ardent followers already ticking Karen as a winner weeks before the show’s over, Wendall’s winning appears to be the only surprise of the final night.

Mr. Wendall
From the onset, Wendall has been very laid back and only has time for his cigarettes and beer. He hardly entertained so he was definitely an unlikely winner. He wouldn’t even yield to his country mate’s constant crave for attention. Wendall was never fun to watch, he could sit all day on a spot; he never exhibited any kind of emotions rather he devoted his attention to his cigarette sticks. He’s not one to break down in frustration or out of just missing home like Lomwe and Karen. He however has a positive side, although he was not interesting or fun to watch, he is hardworking. Voluntarily he cleans, unlike the other house mates who all make a fuss about household chores. He also wasn’t a pretender; he came clean about not liking Vina and also made it cleared he doesn’t like being touched.

Miss Karen
The free spirited Nigerian started out not expecting much from the game. She has a strong character and she is lovable, selfless and entirely original. Yes she drinks a little too much and even smokes but never lied about who she is. She revealed emotions and even shed a few tears during the show. At some point, she suggested that the winning prize be shared among all housemates.

She got so emotional with other housemates that she gave up the opportunity of saving herself from under the eviction hammer by nominating someone else during the week she was up for eviction when she was the house leader. Despite her seemingly volatile personality, Karen has a caring heart and acted out herself. She reached out to everyone and even those who didn’t think she deserves the winning prize.

She truly is the definition of a strong African woman.

Amy Winehouse’s Dealer: I Sold Her Drugs Before Death

I want to help them out, but I’m worried about my safety. ”Tony said Amy met him at a pub in Camden the night before she died, and they went to meet a drug dealer named “Mr. Big” who sold Winehouse half an ounce of crack and half an ounce of heroin for $2000.

Diddy and Jennifer Lopez: Getting Back Together?


First, Ben Affleck. Now, Diddy. Tabloids are really desperate to get Jennifer Lopez back together with an ex. A source tells BET that Diddy really wants to get back together with new newly-single ex because she is "the love of his life" and his "fantasy girl." However, friends worry that J. Lo will break the hip hop mogul's heart again, similar to how she dumped him in 1999 when he was on trial for weapons charges.


Witnesses claim to have seen Lopez and Diddy together in New York City this week, while a friend of the former says: "Puff wouldn't be my first choice for her, but then again he was always very supportive of her sex symbol image and never got mad when she wore sexy clothes. He actually encouraged it."For those of you unfamiliar with the rumors surrounding Jennifer's divorce, that was a direct dig at Marc Anthony. Yes, it's on, folks.

Angelina Jolie to Scale Back Film Career?

Even Angelina Jolie can't do it all. Between acting, directing, raising six kids and saving the world, she's got a lot on her plate. As she gets older, the 36-year-old knows something has to give. What she's likely to give up first is an easy call.


The Oscar winner, whose directorial debut is in post-production, and who will be starring in a remake of the Elizabeth Taylor film Cleopatra, said:
"As Brad and I get older we're going to do fewer films. I've been working a long time; he's been working a long time. We've had a nice run and don't want to be doing this indefinitely, our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do."
"You're drawn to certain roles because they question something about life, about love, about freedom. You ask these questions as you grow up: am I strong enough, am I sane enough? Do I understand love, do I understand myself?
