RACHEL UCHITEL G-STRING FOR TWO


As the latest pregnant famous person to do their best Demi Moore Vanity Fair cover impersonation, topless former Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel showed off her growing baby bump -- and nearly everything else -- in a sexy maternity g-string.
This is baby's first thong.

The 37-year-old -- who is due in eight days -- then went a little more demure by also posing covered up in a sheet.

Uchitel -- who's married to former Penn State football player Matt Hahn -- knows a new mother needs to set a good example.

SEGUN ARINZE QUITS AGN LEADERSHIP

National president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Segun Arinze, has reportedly resigned, owing to internal wrangling, with immediate effect.

In a statement addressed to the AGN Board of Trustees, and purportedly signed by the actor, he is giving up his post as a result of the ‘sad development’ which marred the guild’s elections, which took place at Baden Hotel in Benin City, Edo state, on Friday April 27, 2012.

Confirmation is yet to be received from the actor, as repeated phone calls and text messages were unanswered at the time of reporting. However, it appears to be the outcome of the ‘drastic action’ he previously told NET he would take after consultation with the guild’s Board of Trustees (BOT), immediately after the botched elections.

The elections into various positions in the guild have witnessed various challenges over time, including three postponements and a court injunction halting its conduct, championed by factional leader, Emeka Ike.

Below is a copy of the said resignation letter;

‘ …In view of the recent happenings in the actors guild of Nigeria and the recently botched elections in Benin… It is indeed a sad development for AGN. In actual fact my tenure as president ended on the 9th of December 2011 but I stayed on as president in deference to the

BOT and the vast majority of our members who prevailed on me to oversee a successful transition to a new president through a free and fair election. The events in Benin on the 28th of April 2012 is now common knowledge. I know I constituted an independent Agnec that was supposed to be devoid of any electoral rancour or external influences. For my integrity and honour, I hereby resign as president of actors guild of Nigeria and it comes into effect immediately. I want to thank the BOT for all the support given during my tenure, the state chapter chairmen, my fellow presidents from other guilds in Nollywood, all AGN members and especially the media for their tremendous support and positive given during my tenure. I want to thank profoundly my wife julie for holding on during the challenging period of service to the guild.

I wish the guild the very best as we move forward.

Thanks and warm regards.

Yours faithfully

Segun Arinze‘

EXCLUSIVE: MO'HITS MANSION - TO LET OR LEASE?

The ‘Mo’hits mansion’ – once home to D’banj, Don Jazzy and the rest of the Mo’hits crew, has been abandoned.

The property, situated in Maryland, in Ikeja, Lagos, was the headquarters of all Mo’hits activities for years, and the holding place, for anyone that had anything serious to do with the label. But that is no longer so, as our reporters found out recently.

A NET reporter, who visited the Maryland property says both entrances have been locked, the premises looks unkempt, the building’s windows are wide open with no curtains, suggesting there have been no occupants for a while.

After hanging around there for over five hours, our reporter confirmed there was no movement in or around the premises. A security guard next to the building happily told NET that the Mo’Hits crew left the building about five months ago. ‘Na D’banj and Don Jazzy house before but dem no dey come here again since last year.’

Meanwhile, neighbours confirmed that there haven’t been any new faces around the building since the Mo’Hits crew left. Interestingly, there’s no advertisement showing the property is up for let or lease; but we could not immediately confirm if the label’s rent is still running or if they had bought over the property.

‘If their rent was not running, and they don’t own the property, trust me, the owners would have put it up for rent since’, an estate agent working around the area tells us. ‘This is a very private and high demand area, so I’m sure there’s a reason it’s just lying there’.

In late 2010, D’banj and Don Jazzy moved out of the Maryland duplex into their Lekki residence, leaving Dr SID and Wande Coal in the ‘Mo’hits mansion’. SID and Wande would later move into separate apartments in the popular 1004 complex in Victoria Island.

We’re told D’Prince has also moved into a Lekki apartment, with his parents who have just relocated from Ireland; while Kay Switch is in the US.

Following the Mo’Hits fiasco, Don Jazzy moved out of the Lekki home he shared with D’banj; settling for a duplex inside the super expensive NICON Estate, also in Lekki, Lagos. Insiders tell us D’banj now has control of their joint Lekki property, although he now spends most of his time in the US and UK where he’s working to break into the mainstream international scene.

REASON: ACTRESS CHIKA IKE MAY HAVE ABANDONED HER MARRIAGE!

New facts are emerging as to why pretty actress chika may have abandoned her marriage to her hearthrob and taken to her heels in what is referred to as 'running four-fourty without looking back'.

According to insider squealing"her case is not different from that of her colleagues in entertainment kefee obareki and monalisa chinda. Infact chikas case was worse off !"Squealed the source.

"After a series of serious beatings,she finally took to her heels after estranged hubby held her by the neck and almost choked the life out of her. No one knows what they argued about but it always ended up in beatings which the actress always had excuses to cover up for in public when asked about any scars seen.

Women need to lend their voices to stop this domestic violence illness which has suddenly become the punishment metted out by angry men/husbands to their wives/lovers. Some have not been so lucky to tell their stories and some abandon their homes without telling why.

Monalisa chinda and kefee are two women who cried out and told the world of their experiences and thus helped other less socially priveledged women seek help.

Here's urging chika to stand up and be brave and tell the world her story. Domestic violence is a crime and it is so wrong. Only cowards and insecure men abuse women! Please if you know this actress help me tell her that "stella says its okay to speak up now, the worst is over,you survived and your story will help other women,speak up!".

GOLDIE CONFIRMED AS A HOUSEMATE IN BIG BROTHER STARGAME

The entire continent of Africa is waiting for Sunday May 6 to witness the start of Big Brother StarGame but organizers have once again thrown in another surprise!

A few hours ago, Big Brother announced that seven celebrity housemates will be part of the seventh season of Africa’s biggest reality TV show.

And which Nigerian celeb has been enlisted into the lucky seven? It’s none other than Nigerian pop star and Kennis Music act Goldie Harvey!

The other six celebs housemates include , stand-up comedian and television pro DKB from Ghana, talented rap icon Prezzo from Kenya, award-winning songstress Lady May from Namibia, Famed socialite, model and businesswoman Barbz from South Africa, R&B diva Mampi from Zambia, soulful musician Roki from Zimbabwe.

The other contestants have however not been revealed.

Goldie, a determined entertainer and pseudo-eccentric celebrity was disparaged for years, by critics and music fans. But, following her recent successes, it would appear the joke is now on those who labelled her a fame whore; those who swore she’ll never make it big.

According to producers, Big Brother 7 will be screened to 47 countries across the continent, live 24/7 for 91 days on DStv channel 198. The series starts Sunday May 6
