JAYZ CALL BEYONCE A ‘HO’

I tell you my people, ooo, it is not a slow news day, now. This did indeed happen.
Rapper Jay Z’s Off That track featuring Drake refers to Beyonce as a “HO”.
He raps: “I’m just a runway show, but I wear this on my plane - these my runway clothes, Cashmere sweats - they come out next year, but these [are] my last year sweats, and my ho’s so sick, your new chick can’t f*ck with my old b*tch, and you know this sh*t, I’m professional - you know this is. I just may let you borrow this, this the Blueprint n*gga follow this.”
The song is actually tight. Not because Jay has the balls to call Bey ‘a ho’ but coz the hook is super catchy.

DANCE TO THIS PEOPLES!

Southern rapper Hurricane Chris caught heat from a political figure after performing his "Halle Berry" ode in front of the Louisiana Legislature in June.
The New Orleans representative Austin Badon said, "The words they were using in the song were just extremely derogatory, they were foul," he said in an interview. "They were curse words, using the 'N' word. It was just a derogatory song. I have no idea [what the lyrics mean]."
Prior to performing for the legislature, Chris talked about why he made the song.
"I thought about one of the most beautiful women in the world today," he told the officials. "And I said Halle Berry, you know a lot of women look at her and say 'I wanna be beautiful like Halle Berry,' but you know, we got a lot of different types of women. Different colors, shapes and sizes. I just wanted to let 'em know that it didn't matter what you look like, if you feel like you Halle Berry and got your comfort high, that's what it is."

UMA THURMAN TO PLAY UGANDAN REBEL SUPER-NUN

Kwani? Allow me to ask. Everytime there is a Caucasian hero or heroine, they are off to save the ignorant Africans.
Case in point.
Will Raee a Hollywood film director says his next film will be about Uganda’s notorious rebels and how they kidnapped more than 100 convent schoolgirls. Raee told the BBC that Girl Soldier will star Uma Thurman as the heroine nun who pursues the rebels into the bush and helps some girls escape.
“The film is incredibly fictionalised in certain areas,” Raee told the BBC’s Network Africa programme. LRA rebels often mutilate their victims, cutting off lips, ears and noses.
“We’re basically telling the story of girls who were abducted and forced into slavery and forced into fighting a rebel war they didn’t want to be a part of. I want people to watch this and feel that they’re watching a documentary in a sense, so we’re really trying to keep this as authentic as possible,” he said.

Africa and as such it looked like a logical choice. It’s a beautiful film as a result.”
Pumzi will be screened at the opening of the Kenya International Film Festival (KIFF) on October 21.

TAKING COMEDY TO PRISONS

One very wise Rosario Castellanos was quoted saying: “We have to laugh. Because laughter, we already know, is the first evidence of freedom.”

They comedians Lawrence Oyange and Milton Obote also use the opportunity to plant trees in their bid to conserve the environment.

VARIETY MAGAZINE FEATURES BANNED KENYAN FILM

American magazine Variety features the ongoing battle between Jitu Films and the Kenya Film Censorship Board (KFCB).
The piece titled “Movie ban can't quash Kenya's Jitu” by Christopher Vourlias, read:
“The often antagonistic relationship between government and the film community has been a thorn in the side of many Kenyan filmmakers. Local productions are forced to navigate an endless maze of red tape: fees to the censorship board, pre-approval of scripts from the Department of Film Services, battles with the Ministry of Information. The government, too, has been accused of double standards: While Otto: The Blood Bath was deemed too horrific for Kenyan audiences, pirated Western horror films are readily available on the streets of Nairobi.

NAVIO CALLS KENYAN CELEBS PRETENTIOUS

Ugandan rapper Navio who was in Kenya a week a go. He meet a number of Kenyan acts and formed an opinion. The Rukus rapper interacted with Kenyan celebs at the MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA) Nominees party last month.
Navio said, “From the way I see it, they are quite pretentious especially in front of the camera, they smile with each other but behind the scenes they are enemies. For instance at the MTV nominee party some random artiste just walked up to me and started to talk about his Lamborghini for about 10 minutes. That is when it hit me; they will go to extreme measures to get noticed. They are mostly in this music industry for the fame not for the love of music. This is very sad and shouldn’t be the case.”
