CHRIS BROWN CHILLS IN MIAMI. WISHES RIHANNA A HAPPY B-DAY
Showing off his propensity for bling, Chris Brown was spotted sporting two massive gold chains in Miami, Florida yesterday afternoon (February 19).
The “No Air” singer left his Miami Beach hotel wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and sneakers, all the while trying to ignore the nearby paparazzi.
And given that today (February 20) is Rihanna's birthday, Chris took to his Twitter account to show her some love.
He tweeted, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBYN,” and his use of her real name could mean that they’re back on good terms after a horrific abuse situation in 2009.

MERCY JOHNSON UNDER PRESSURE FROM HUSBAND'S FAMILY
This is certainly not the best of time for top Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, as she is presently being put under pressure by families of her husband, Prince Odi Okojie.
The actress, who had a turbulent wedding saga before her eventual wedding on August 27, 2011, was reportedly summoned some weeks ago by her hubby's family, as an insider source divulged to Nigeriafilms.com
You will recall that in October last year, this writer exclusively reported that Mercy J, as Mercy Johnson is fondly called, was pregnant. Though the story was true but events changed things.
According to a close source to the actress, Mercy has been asked questions by family members of Prince Odi on why she has delayed in giving them the fruit of marriage after their marriage last year.
Though her hubby, Prince Odi is said to be suppressing pressures being mounted on his wife by his family members, but the source confessed that there might be a limit Odi cannot go further on the issue, taking note of his people's culture and tradition.
"You know that in Edo culture, the man's family has a lot of say in their lives, especially on marriage matters," the source told Nigeriafilms.com
We learnt that at the meeting, Prince Odi was pleading with his family members to be patient with his wife, insisting that there is nothing wrong with his wife. We were also told that Prince Odi told his family that his wife's job was a demanding one, that she only needs their supports.

ALI BABA BUILDS OWN MANSION
He is not called the King of comedy for nothing. Having conquered the comedy scene and nurtured to fruition, able lieutenants, Halleluyah Akpoborome Atuyota otherwise known as Alli Baba who has proved on most fronts that he is indeed king, has again set a standard that his lieutenants will no doubt want to ape.
The Delta State born comic act recently unveiled his palatial mansion which has been aptly dubbed heaven on earth to a select few. Built from scratch, the haven is a duplex of three sitting rooms, seven bedrooms with a swimming pool sized Jacuzzi in the master bedroom and a floor to ceiling sized cinema for the viewing pleasure of the family and friends of the lover of high end breed of dogs. Situated in a nicely tucked in estate in the Lekki axis of Lagos called Nicon town, the house which comes with an electrically controlled garage is without the traditional fence that shields most homes in Nigeria. Even though it costs the comedian a fortune to erect, it is without a doubt a huge relief for him, what with the astronomical rent he parted with annually at his Ikoyi pad.

MADONNA'S STALKER CREEPY STORAGE LOCKER... REVEALED!
A storage locker belonging to the guy who once served a a 10-year sentence for stalking Madonna has just been opened up ... and ... it's weird.
The locker belonged to Robert Dewey Hoskins (who also threatened Halle Berry) -- and the contents were auctioned off earlier this month because he failed to pay the bill.
Among the gems ... a TON of Madonna memorabilia (including CDs and photos) ... as well as condoms, women's jewelry, box cutters, scissors, a bible and a super creepy mask. Like we said ... weird.
The buyer of the locker (who paid $1,900 for it) had no idea Hoskins was renting the unit before the auction ... but was able to ID the stalker through paperwork discovered in the locker, as well as a few prescription bottles left behind.
We're told the buyer informed Applied Facts, a private investigation company, which then contacted the LAPD ... which is yet to investigate the locker's contents.

KOBE BRYANT TO VANESSA I WON'T CHEAT EVER AGAIN!!!
Kobe Bryant is making a full court press to save his marriage ... and has sworn up and down to Vanessa he will never stray again if she takes him back.
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... Kobe has "aggressively" pursued Vanessa over the last three weeks, and she's been receptive. We're told Vanessa tends to believe Kobe, but still isn't sure the marriage can be resurrected.
And then there's the subject of lavish gifts. We're told Kobe has given Vanessa a very expensive piece of jewelry. We don't know the price, nor do we know how it compares to the $4 million ring she scored after Kobe's infamous dalliance a few years back.
As for whether they will drop the divorce, we're told they are working on a reconciliation. Several sources very familiar with the couple told us at the time Vanessa filed legal docs not to be surprised if the papers are withdrawn ... because they both really love each other.

DMX ACCUSED OF OWING $1 MILLION IN CHILD SUPPORT
DMX has been accused of owing more than $1 million in back child support -- but TMZ has learned, the rapper ain't convinced the woman pointing the finger is really his baby mama.
X's ex, Patricia Trejo, was in L.A. Superior Court Thursday morning, arguing against a motion DMX filed in their ongoing paternity case -- in which the rapper asked the court for permission to perform in Europe.
You see, in paternity cases where significant child support is owed, the owing parent is prohibited from obtaining a passport without a court order -- and X wants a special dispensation.
But Patricia put her foot down in court Thursday -- claiming DMX owed $1 million in unpaid child support, going back to her daughter's birth over ten years ago ... and she was tired of waiting around.
Now here's the twist -- DMX tells TMZ, he hasn't paid because he's not convinced the girl is his ... and wants a DNA test to prove paternity before he starts handing over cash.
Stay tuned ...

WHY DID BOBBY BROWN LEAVE WHITNEY HOUSTON'S FUNERAL EARLY?
Bobby Brown walked out of Whitney Houston’s funeral Saturday just 20 minutes after the service started at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. The cause of the R&B singer’s early departure from his ex-wife’s memorial service was not immediately known.
A visible angry Bobby Brown was spotted leaving the church premises with his wife, Alicia Etheridge, and his son, Landon, in tow. The singer later issued a statement to explain the reason behind leaving the funeral service early.
"My children and I were invited to the funeral of my ex-wife Whitney Houston," Bobby Brown said in a statement. "We were seated by security and then subsequently asked to move on three separate occasions. I fail to understand why security treated my family this way and continued to ask us and no one else to move. Security then prevented me from attempting to see my daughter Bobbi Kristina.”
"In light of the events, I gave a kiss to the casket of my ex-wife and departed as I refused to create a scene. My children are completely distraught over the events. This was a day to honor Whitney. I doubt Whitney would have wanted this to occur,” the New Edition singer said, adding: “I will continue to pay my respects to my ex-wife the best way I know how.”
Bobby Brown joined his former mother-in-law Cissy Houston, his 18-year-old daughter with Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, and her cousin Dionne Warwick at the New Hope Baptist Church in her native Newark to commemorate the legendary singer.
But Brown left the service even before filmmaker Tyler Perry and Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston's “The Bodyguard” co-star, took to the pedestal to pay tribute to the deceased pop legend.
A close friend of the Houston family explained the situation to CNN, saying that Brown was expected to attend with two guests but came up with 10 people.
"The family approached Bobby and told him that he could stay in the area reserved for family, but that his guests would need to move to a different section to make room for Cissy and the rest of the family," the family friend said. "Bobby said no. The police told Bobby that he could stay in the area reserved for family, but that his guests needed to move. Bobby said no, and left with all of his guests."
Reports earlier this week suggested Bobby Brown, 43, had been banned from attending the memorial by Houston's family because they blamed him for Whitney Houston’s problems with substance abuse.
Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston, 48, divorced in 2007 after a turbulent 15-year marriage. Houston was found dead in her Beverly Hilton Hotel room last Saturday. A cause of death has yet to be determined.

Annie Macaulay

Everyone wanted to know who the damsel on the power bike with 2Face was, especially when reports hit the streets that these two were actually dating.

And before Annie could say 2, both ladies were totting 2face’s babies almost shutting the door in Annie’s face.
Pero Adeniyi
Pero’s relationship with 2face dates back to 2005,shortly after the singer parted ways with Annie Macauley.
According to reports, after being attacked by robbers in his Festac home, Idibia was injured and traumatised.
While on admission at the hospital, ladies trooped in to visit and wish him well.Pero was said to be one of the lot and a relationship kicked off almost immediately.
The romance shifted from Pero to a banker,Sumbo Ajaba,after irreconciliable differences between them.Not quite long after a sizzling romance with Sumbo,2face left her in a dramatic way and since became a single father to his five children from the three mistresses.
2face had earlier said in an interview he granted months back that he has moved on and no longer had any sexual relationship with his three mistresses since he was not legally married to them.
But it came as a surprise to many when news broke some weeks back that 2face is expecting his sixth child from Pero, the mother to two of his children. The big question on everybody's lips then was how come,considering the fact that Tu Face had allegedly told friends that his relationship with Pero has no future for both of them, a story Pero also corroborated in an interview she granted a soft sell magazine.
But findings revealed that 2face and Pero have been meeting secretly.An example of such secret meeting was in July,2011 at the BET Award in the US where 2face went to receive an award jointly won with D’Banj.The crooner was said to have preferred to stay at Pero’s apartment in the States instead of being lodged in a hotel.Their meeting was believed to have resulted to the pregnancy.
With this development, many thought Pero has fought her way back to 2face’s life but their hopes were dashed when2face took the bull by the horns and proposed to his long-term girlfriend and mother of one of his children (daughter – Isabella), Annie Macaulay at Jay Jay Okocha’s Club 10 in Victoria Island, Lagos on Valentine’s day.
Expectedly, the incident has elicited mixed reactions from fans and critics, on Facebook and Twitter – and elsewhere.
Many criticized his actions saying the proposal to another woman at a club was insensitive when he had another woman pregnant with his third child.But the serial womanizer and music star remains unperturbed with people's opinions..
In post on his facebbok page,2face wrote; I know say my people wan hear the CONFIRM gist !!! Unto say me sef wan move to the next level.We all know that he who finds a wife has found a good thing.
I am moving forward ma people… I wanna be with Annie for the rest of my life.Abi how una take see am ?
We gathered that the reason he took the bold step was because pressure had been piled on him by his mother since news broke few weeks ago that he was expecting a sixth child from mistress,Pero , to find a wife and settle down.
With his latest move, insiders close to the music sensation revealed that the fates of his two mistresses, Pero Adeniyi and Sumbo Ajaba who both have between them four kids for him, has been sealed.
In a related news,findings revealed that the talented musician left the shores of Nigeria for the United States on Wednesday night in a manner that was shrouded in mystery.
Close source are insinuating that Tuface jets to US to be at the side of his expectant baby mama, Pero Adeniyi, who is due to deliver the musician’s third child any moment from now.
But 2face’s publicist, Bayo Omisore, denied the claim,he said; is gone to America to finish the recording of his new album

Vanessa Bryant and her kids were in New York City over the weekend, looking for a big ol' apartment ... TMZ has learned.
