MADONNA PERFORMS HER SUPER BOWL DREAM SHOW IN ROMAN AND EGYPTIAN COSTUME!

Madonna fans, the quintessential pop diva finally got to perform her “dream performance” during the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 5, 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Madonna made her grand entrance draped in a golden robe, seated in a golden lit, carried by muscle-bound men.

Dressed in Roman pteruges – a skirt comprised of protective leather strips – a leopard cape, a jeweled spiky Egyptian style headgear and thigh-high stiletto heel boots, Madonna sang and danced, with Nicki MinajNicki Minaj in platinum wig, M.I.A. and Cee Lo Green joining her in a glittery floor-length black gown, gospel singer style, accessorizing with dark glasses.

Madonna’s fellow dancers also wore similar Roman styled costumes with pteruges skirts, pairing animal prints with knee-length trainers to resemble roman caliga boots.

The Material Girl sang a medley of her hits over the decades, joined by her backup singers and dancers and a gospel style chorus, in a duet with Cee Lo Green.

Another high-light from the show was the amazing tightrope performance by the acrobat in a sort of Roman tunic with golden high-top trainers.

The Super Bowl halftime show was put together by Jamie King and the Cirque Du Soleil. Madonna spoke about her performance outfits in a press conference on February 2, explaining that they were made with a “great attention to detail.” And as she promised, there were no “wardrobe malfunctions!”

The action-packed performance ended with a message of “World Peace” spelled out in the crowd with thousands of golden lights in a pitch black background and individual lights in the crowd.
Only one criticism from yours truly – the show was a bit too short! Enjoy my slide show of some key moments from Madonna’s half time performance at the Super Bowl and hope you got to see it.

BOW WOW GEORGIA JUDGE ORDERS HIM TO BE ARRESTED ON SIGHT

Bow Wow has avoided a civil lawsuit for long enough -- and now a judge in Georgia has ordered he be arrested and held in custody until produces documents and information to the other side.

Bow Wow was ordered by a Tennessee court back in 2009 to pay almost $100,000 to a tour bus company for allegedly not paying his bill. The company then took the case to Georgia to try and get the court where Bow Wow lives to enforce the judgment.

He was ordered to produce documents in his home state regarding the lawsuit, which he never did. As a result, the tour company filed a motion to have the rapper held in contempt.

Finally back in October, the judge granted the motion and ordered Bow Wow be arrested and held until he produces the necessary documents the tour bus company asked for.

Bow Wow has not been taken into custody so far, or responded to the lawsuit.

Calls to Bow Wow's reps were not returned.

Katy Perry fans, is attending tonight’s Bridgestone Super Bowl XLVI Pregame Show at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Decked out in her red, white and blue ensemble, a bit court jester-ish yet sporty, Katy Perry wore a short fitted T-shirt dress, topped off with a Varsity style jacket with a zigzag edge (the court jester element) and “PERRY” written on the back, accessorizing with red framed glasses and mismatched high-top trainers, one each in red and blue!

Her female friend (or family!) attending the game with her wore the same jacket but with “WOODWARD” written on the back, a blue top and red satin fitted jeans, accessorizing with white-rimmed sunglasses.

The two ladies kidded and palled around as photographers took their shots (thanks!) on the way to their seats.

Also looks like the recent change of teal hairstyle is here to stay. Do you think Katy Perry looks good with teal hair?

AMAA 2012 MAY NOT HOLD IN BAYELSA

For several weeks, there had been speculation that this year’s edition of Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) might not hold in its traditional home, Bayelsa. Because of the political situation in the state, there had also been doubts about the possibility of the awards holding at all.

But the founder of the awards Peace Ayim Osigwe says no matter what the case may be, the awards must take place.

These uncertainties are due to the on-going political crisis rocking the Niger Delta state. Insiders say although the government of Bayelsa have always bankrolled the event, the recent developments in the state will make it difficult for this year’s project to get priority attention. ‘With all that’s happening,  hosting an awards show will be the last thing on the Governor’s mind’ said one source familiar with the situation.

Bayelsa has played host to the awards since its inception in 2005 (except in 2007 when it held in Abuja).

‘It is true that Bayelsa is AMAA’s traditional home; it is equally true that the state has hosted AMAA except for one edition but that is not to say that it can’t go elsewhere. We once held it in Abuja and that is why we have said it repeatedly that we are open to sponsorship or hosting by any state’, Ayim Osigwe said.

Ayim Osigwe who is also the chairman of the awards says a press conference will be held this month where all questions concerning the awards will be discussed and answered.

In 2007, the awards was moved to Abuja after the State’s governor Timi Sylva was sacked by the court and then the state declared the safety of the AMAA guests could not be guaranteed.

Nominations for 2012 have not been announced.

RIHANNA ROCKS NEW HAIRDO

International Barbadian born star, Rihanna has revealed her new look, influenced by a recent photo shoot for renowned fashion and style magazine, Elle, featuring a blonde hair-do.

The Bajan singer tweeted a topless picture of herself with the new look, along with the tweet, ‘1st Cover of the year!!!!‘

The hair style incorporates long choppy layers and lengthy razor bangs with a smoother, straighter texture.

The singer is known for blazing new hair trends (remember her all-red hair?) which are largely copied by fans world over, and it is reported that she spends upwards of a whopping $14,000 on hair maintenance every week.

Rihanna, born Robyn Fenty on February 20, 2012, is a very successful recording artist, and as of January 2012, has reportedly sold approximately 47.6 million digital singles in the United States, making her the highest-selling digital artist in the US since 2004.

MEET OLU MAINTAIN's NAWTI GIRL, NATALIE NUNN

Yes, we all know Nigerian pop singer Mr Olu is back. After a long hiatus, the former Maintain star recently returned with the premiere of his video ‘NAWTi’ a few days ago.

The video has received 105, 755 views in just six days. Surprising, considering that he had been off the scene  for sometime. Fans are loving the clean, clear video, and many are asking who the leading lady in the clip is.

She is none other than US Socialite, club promoter and modelNatalie Nunn.

Natalie is not very popular in the US, but featuring in the fourth season of the ‘mischievous’ and rebellious women’s reality series Bad Girls Club surely increased her ranking within America’s celeb scene (think Amber Rose right now).

Natalie has also had a spat with Rihanna after calling her a ‘punk b***h’ and claiming she dated Chris Brown (who denied any affair with her); got caught in a verbal fight with Amber Rose and rumoured to have been dating Wiz Khalifa and some point. Oh yea, she also got into a fight with rapper Fabolous.

Well, Olu overlooked all that and featured her in his ‘comeback’ video which has obviously found favour with fans…

KANYE WEST TO SHOOT FILM IN MIDDLE EAST

 

Grammy Award-winning rapper, Kanye West is set to shoot a short film in the Middle East.

The ‘Watch the Throne’ co-creator’ plans to create a short film based on the cultures of the Persian Gulf. We’re told the project will be very similar to the 30-minute hybrid art film ‘Runaway’ that the rapper released in 2010.

The rapper’s team has a number of meetings scheduled with film companies and government officials in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Doha, Qatar in order to explore the future production, which could begin filming as early as March.

Evidently, the project has resulted in a heated bidding war in both countries as production companies compete for the opportunity to hook up with Yeezy. Film industries in the region are largely government controlled.

Apparently Kanye West devised the story for his film after performing in Abu Dhabi last year when he developed an appreciation for the region. West’s production is expected to make use of local talent and production crews and portray the cultures of the region in a positive light.

Kanye West was on January 8, 2012, voted the ninth artist (third male artist) on Nielsen SoundScan all-time best-selling tracks (digital) with 30,242,000 million sold in the USA alone towards the end of 2011.
