CATHOLIC LEAGUE FIRES NICKI MINAJ FOR DRAGGING THE ‘POPE’ TO THE GRAMMYS (VIDEO)
She might not have won any awards on Sunday, February 12, 2012, but new age hip-hop artiste Nicki Minaj sure did get a lot of attention at the 54th Grammy Awards where she delivered a rather provocative performance.
Minaj came dressed to the Grammy’s in a large Versace designed red robe with a man dressed like the Pope. As if that wasn’t enough – levitated, spoke in tongues and acted possessed with the man on stage.
That’s not all; during the performance a short video clip was played on the screens for the audience at the Staples Centre, LA and viewers back home to watch – The clip was a re-enactment of the 1971 ‘demonic possession and exorcism’ movie The Exorcist.
The problem is, she seems to have bitten more than she can chew as the Catholic League have fired out at her asking if she might be possessed.
The Catholic league is not just unhappy with Minaj but also the Recording Academy, organizers of the awards.
‘Whether Minaj is possessed is surely an open question, but what is not in doubt is the irresponsibility of The Recording Academy. Never would they allow an artist to insult Judaism or Islam.’ Catholic League President Bill Donohue said in the press release titled Is Nicki Minaj Possessed?
‘It’s bad enough that Catholics have to fight for their rights vis-a-vis a hostile administration in Washington without also having to fend off attacks in the entertainment industry. The net effect, however, will only embolden Catholics, as well as their friends in other faith communities’, Donohue continued.
Minaj is not new to controversies; and her new video ‘Stupid Hoe’ was only recently banned by BET because of its ‘explicit contents’.

REPORTS HAVE IT THAT IPAD 3 TO BE LAUNCHED IN MARCH
So is it true? Is Apple ready to unveil the iPad 3 on March 7? Well before you go marking your calendars or start camping outside of your nearest Apple store, read the rest of the article but rumour has it that the tech giant is all set to launch its latest version of the iPad and where once speculated to be happening sometime towards the end of the year, recent reports suggest the launch is almost weeks away.
The news apparently comes from many sources but was voiced in particular by Ezra Gottheil, an analyst from Technology Business Research who said in an interview with online computer news source, Computer World that the launch of the new iPad in March was a “sure bet.” In the interview itself, Gotteil even revealed some details about the highly anticipated new iPad saying, “It will have a higher-resolution screen. That's important to them because it means the iPad will work well with home cinema systems, since it will display full HD.”
Of course being an Apple product, everything about it is strictly under wraps and techies have been speculating on hear say alone. But so far what has been revealed is that the iPad 3 will look pretty similar to its present iteration the iPad 2, with some leaked pictures apparently confirming this. The iPad will also be offering full HD display as well as a SIRI personal assistant but most importantly it may just offer, according to tech blog iMore, the highly anticipated 2048x1536 retina display and a quad-core Apple A6 chip.
Apparently at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Apple unveiled some accessories for the iPad 3 behind closed doors, and it is said that most of what was shown more or less resembled the iPad 2.
But it wasn’t only the iPad 3 that maybe making its launch. According to Gottheil, Apple is also planning to launch a smaller and cheaper version of the iPad, aimed at competing with Amazon’s Kindle Fire. Though this smaller iPad, with a 7 inch screen was not an idea that late founder of Apple, Steve JobsSteve Jobs liked, saying that the smaller screen would ruin user experience and that the idea would be “dead on arrival,” the Kindle Fire has disproved this, going on to become a best-seller, selling almost six million units. Apple is now said to be planning its own 7 inch tablet, something that Gottheil said has “always been in the plan,” adding, “Seven inches is a good form factor for some users, and although they will also charge a premium above other similar-sized tablets, they want to protect that price flank.”
It was also added that the launch of the new iPad will apparently be happening at a launch event in San Francisco.

FAMILY DIVIDED OVER WHITNEY HOUSTONS'S BURIAL
There's a rift in Whitney Houston's family over where she should be laid to rest ... TMZ has learned.
Family sources tell us ... Dionne Warwick, Whitney's cousin, and Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom, both want the burial to take place in Atlanta. They believe Atlanta is the place Whitney enjoyed the most and had the fondest memories.
But the rest of the family wants Whitney buried in Newark -- where she was born, and subsequently discovered at a local Baptist church (below).

We're told Cissy and Dionne caved, after other family members convinced them New Jersey is where the world will remember her most.
It's unclear why they think the world will remember Whitney more in Newark than ATL.
No offense New Jersey.
ABOUT DESMOND ELLIOT NEW LOOK
Close pals of top actor,producer and director,Desmond Elliot,will no doubt agree that in the past two years,he was becoming puffed up like a balloon with his cheeks filling out.
Back then,he was a cause for concern for his fans and friends and they gave him warnings on the state of his figure.
It seemed he has taken to those words of advice because in recent times,he is wearing a new look.
He was spotted at the launch of the new soap Catwalq and he showed that he must have worked on his body as he now looks trim and fit with a boyish appearance which had a very strong appeal to the females at the event.

PHOTO OF THE TUB IN WHICH WHITNEY HOUSTON DIED
TMZ has obtained a photo of the tub in which Whitney Houston died.
The photo was taken moments after police and EMTs removed Whitney's body from the bathroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
The photo shows the tub still filled with water. There's a gravy dish at the bottom of the tub, which Whitney typically filled with olive oil to keep her skin soft.
Notice the two circular objects -- they're hair ties.
And there's a towel at the bottom of the tub -- possibly worn by Whitney to keep her hair dry while she was bathing.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH DAVIDO'S NEW TATTOO - 'OMO BABA OLOWO'? (PHOTOS)
‘Ema dami duro, emi omo baba olowo‘ translated in English means ‘Don’t try to stop me, I am the son of a very rich man‘…. and those are the very familiar lyrics of the newest kid of the block David Adedeji Adeleke better known to his numerous fans as Davido.
At just 19 years, the pop artiste has become a fan favourite; emerging a star to contend with, with just two hot singles…and all this happened within a year!
From his music you can tell he likes the high life, fast cars, women, money and basically any luxurious thing you can think about (at least he sings about it).
And, to tell you that he’s not faking it, the singer went all out to tattoo ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ on his chest, as this picture obtained by our photographer shows. It is not Davido’s first tattoo, but we think it’s his most daring and shocking so far.
’Only God knows, I have no idea‘, his manager Asa Asika says when we asked how many tattoos Davido has on his body.
‘On the beat is Davido‘ (one of his popular sayings), a star drawing and ‘HKN‘ are some of the other tattoos we can see on his body (at least with his clothes on)..
‘I just love tattoos‘, he once told NET when he popped in for a quick interview.
What do you think of Davido’s latest tattoo? loving it? or not?

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER SAY TO SOMEONE YOU LOVE, EVEN ON VALENTINE'S DAY
Yeah yeah, it is that time of the year again when a huge chunk of the world’s population goes loony over that love thing. I can’t be bothered, really. Goodluck to all those who insist on participating in the foolery. Who am I to ask that you desist from this soul-numbing exercise…go on have fun!
However, lest you all be left to your poor selves and ruin loving forever, I have decided to intervene again and save you lot from the foolery of amorous over enthusiasm. Yeah, I get it: you can’t help yourself. That person you have always wanted is now yours and all you think you need to do is make statements that you think are endearing but are really idiotic in the ears of your lover. He/she would most likely say nothing but by love, your lover is ready to pay top dollar for you to shut your ignorant trap.
Participate in the foolery all you want, but don’t go as far allowing the following come forth from you:
I’LL DIE FOR YOU
No you wouldn’t. You can’t. It is inhuman for one human being to die for another human being. Forget that Christ did it; he wasn’t human, so get rid of your saviour self-elect tendencies! If an armed robber or a member of the Nigerian Police stopped your car while you are driving with your lover beside you and asks that who should he shoot, it is only natural that you point at your lover. This is the nature of things. Do not be fooled by the nonsense Jack did in Titanic; each person should die his/her own death. I’ll die for you is a statement made by fools and believed by even more foolish people. Desist from that idiocy.
I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU
Yes you can. And very well too. In all my years on earth, I have never seen anyone successfully jump into the grave while a lover was being buried. Yes, abundant tears may be shed graveside, but to die along with a lover is a human impossibility. Even Romeo and Juliet, the poster kids for stupidity where love is concerned, are an accidental suicide case and they were barely fifteen years old. I’m sure you are not that young and you should be wiser by not spewing inanities. Get a grip, people!
I’LL NEVER CHEAT ON YOU
What does this even mean? How can anyone faithfully make this ridiculous declaration, seriously? And please, who believes this nonsense when it is uttered in their direction? Of course, I can cheat on my wife. In fact, I have cheated on my wife severally. I have shagged Halle Berry, Sofia Vergara, Angelina Jolie, Janet Jackson, Gabrielle Union, Toolz, Tiwa Savage, Kate Winslet, Hellen Mirren, Beyonce (while pregnant) and Rihanna, together. In my mind, of course.
Should I wake up one blissful morning and find myself in the bed of any of these people, I do believe the proper thing to do would be to call the wife and expect to receive hearty congratulations. I will do the same should she fulfil her desires with Richard Gere or Brad Pitt. Your propensity to refuse advances is directly proportional to the quality of advances received. If you are drop dead ugly and receive zero green light, surely it must be easy for you to say stuff like I’ll never cheat on you. If, on the other hand, you were Tiger Woods at his prime, then the reality is different. Or you are Angelina Jolie and you can see that a 3rd of the men in the room have their eyes locked on your body parts…abeg, make we leave story jor.
I’LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU
Nah, not gonna happen. No one is always there for another person. Always being there is a tiring endeavour, often an exercise in futility. Get a life, you fop, you narcissistic popinjay! What if the person does not always want you there? Your constant presence can actually be a vomit-inducing experience for that lover. Be off with your unwanted self, my friend. Create space, please; some fresh air shall do your lover some good. Buzzzz oooofffff!
YOU’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER LOVER LIKE ME
Huh? Seriously? What manner of man/woman are you? What form of spineless, unformed, pathetic creature says something like this? Where did you come from, Uranus? If you have ever uttered these words to another being, you deserve eternal damnation in hottest parts of hell with the devil holding your hands like a lost love. You make me sick. Your likes are a kobo a dozen, sold on wheelbarrows under Apongbon Bridge. Even if you feel this is a threat, just makes you even more pathetic. You need-a-new-life…die, now!
