MEL GIBSON'S EX-WIFE TAKES HALF OF HIS ESTIMATED $850M FORTUNE


I just wonder how Mel Gibson will be feeling right now...considering how much money goes with this divorce from his 30 years marriage with his ex-wife Robyn.
 Divorce can be messy....this is certainly not about the money but Ouch! that is a lot of money... wow! divide $850million dollars into half....how much is that? Celebrity divorce comes with a huge prize!

SIMON COWELL EARNS 28MILLION POUNDS IN ONE YEAR….WHAT???


Simon Cowell! The same one you know, The X-Factor judge who gave up American Idol and imported the X-factor from the U.K. The X-factor US reportedly had an average of 13.5 million viewers per episode…. What????
It is so amazing that in this age of economic meltdown, an individual is raked in a whooping 28 million pounds in just 12 months! That says how lucrative the entertainment/talent business really is. This windfall takes his fortune to 200 million Pounds. Thanks to his reclaimed rights to the X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent in a massive deal with song BMG. For a 50% stake in the venture, Simon was paid 26,754,967 (in pounds) according to Syco Entertainment annual accounts for the 12 months up to March 31 this year.
With the second season of the X-Factor US on the way, it can only get better for him…. Opportunities still abound and if we could just take that risk, we’ll achieve far more than we can imagine.  He is changing people’s lives and gives ordinary people the chance to do extra ordinary things. He is a risk taker and it pays…High risk, high reward.

CONGRATS MELANIE AMARO

A big Congrats to Melanie Amaro..... The powerful 19 year old vocalist from Sunrise,Florida. I bet Simon will reallly be happy, after all that Rachel Crow drama, this has to be some sweet revenge for Simon Cowell who mentored her all through. The X-factor may not have really rocked like the Idols but  people's lives have been changed...not just the winner but the likes of Rachel Crow talking with Disney Execs. We have seen transformation and contestants really got some boost....the second season would be bigger. It is an exported UK show and  America is warming up to it.

Melanie was at one point eliminated and then reinstated, she now has a whooping $5 miilion recording contract and a starring role in a Pepsi Commercial. Happy for you girl! You deserved it...so go rock it! America has given the chance...enjoy every moment.
In her own words "Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God".

OCCUPY LEKKI: does it work here?

I always thought it an American "Thing" so to say but then we already have occupy Lekki. Does the occupying method works here?  i am not sure after the outcome...
Many people were injured in the process even though it was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Occupy Lekki is a mass protest against the  tolling on Lekki-Epe Expressway. Men of the Police Force allegedly dispersed protestesters with Tear Gas but that resulted in Exhasution of some protesters. The toll which goes as high as N50 for motocycles and N300 for heavy duty vehicles.
The Government of Babatunde Fashola, Lagos State Governor has come under serious critism. With the drama around the fuel subsidy, uncessary new number plates and Drivers' Licence, Nigerians are Tired of the mechasims that run the economy. 
Some Nigerians have said the the Anti-Gay Bill was uneccesary when other pressing needs are screaming for attention...with The Boko Haram theat still lingering and people not feeling safe, poor infrastructure, High Domestic debt, Import driven economy collapse of the educational system( ASUU on strike) and unyeilding policies; President Goodluck Jonathan isincreasingly getting unpopular. The motivation is really low, while we pray, we want result.
I have always liked Fashola but i think he should reconsider this step even though it appears like a made decision.
I really cannot help but keep wondering what is happening in Nigeria.... everyday, we wake up to different disturbing headlines.  Occupy Lekki is obviously not working in a place like Nigeria and it shows the kind of system that works around here.

THE END OF AN ERA; KIM JONG IL

I woke up this morning to this news on Twitter.
The passing of North Korean Leader, Kim Jon il after 17 years.
He was 69 years old and is reported to have died of heart attack due to mental and physical strain. Other resports say he suffered a severe myocardial infaction along with a heart attack. There are reports of stroke in 2008 and pancreatic cancer. He died 8.30 am, 17th december, 2011, while on a train for 1 of his "feild guadiance' tour.
In 2010 forbes magazine named him the 31st most powerful man in the world. In 2009, the North Korean constitution was amanded and he was referrd to him as the supreme leader. he was known to be a dictator, defying global condenmation to build nuclear weapon at the expense  of his people who are starving.
His son, Kim Jon Un is going to succeed him hopefully. He is a politiacl novice and the youngest son, around 28 years old.The death of the NK Leader makes the end of an era and i want to believe change as well as democracy comes to the country which is now known for her hereditary succession style.  He was known as a repressive leader around the world, normally impossible to negotiate with. Fickle with a cult personality holding almost 23 million people to nightmare regime.
Many North Koreans are crossing the border and especially now, more will move. Some citizens are showing great signs of distraught as the express shock over the death of thier supreme leader but  for the most part, i believe the average north korean wants democracy not withstanding how much respect the had for thier leader. NK is a very close country with little access form the outside world.  Funeral is for 28 december and no foreign delegation will be invited. Dec 17-28 has been declared
We just have to wait and see what happens....2011 sure has taken some  leaders along!
