WOW JENNIFER LOPEZ TO MARRY 24-YEAR OLDLOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES –  Jennifer Lopez turned into a cougar after her divorce from Marc Anthony – and now she’s going to marry her cougar catch.


After a brief  fling with actor,  Bradley Cooper,  JLo has found true love with one of her hot backup dancers.  Casper Smart is 24 and JLo is 42. The happy couple is currently traveling together in Europe
Sources close to the couple say that they got engaged last night and that they planned to get married in a Very Special Episode of American Idol.

“Jennifer was amazed by Casper’s dancing on stage, and she’s even more impressed with his moves in the bedroom.  She doesn’t think she’ll ever find  a better match for her,” said a fried of Casper Smart.  ”Casper’s awesome and I’m sure they’ll make beautiful babies together, you know, if she can still do that.”
The couple got engaged on a gondola in Venice.  ”She got down on her knees and proposed to Casper.  She put a gigantic ring on his finger,” said the Italian gondolier.  ”Then I take a them to corner of the city where they make the love.”

Some attendees at recent concerts by JLo say that the couple gets “very” close on stage.   “Jennifer is considering doing a dance with Casper during her show – a dance in which they will both be dressed only in whipped cream.”

American Idol is thrilled that Jennifer is getting engaged so close to the start of a new season.  Kim Kardashian has been hired to advise the show how to best exploit the faux marriage and rake in as much money as they can before they divorce (which they plan to do at the beginning of the next season of American Idol).

Not to be outdone, Marc Anthony was spotted in Cuba with a 19-year-old budding porn star.
Maybe after their flings Marc and JLo will get back together?  You think?

Kardashian Kollection Women’s Ottoman Pencil Dress Sold at Sears, Seen on Stars

 The Kardashian sisters are seemingly doing their part to help keep an iconic American company afloat. The Kardashian Kollection has done well with hits and sell-outs for the troubled Sears stores. From jeans, dress, intimates and more, the line of women’s wear has hit a sweet-spot with customers flocking to try on and buy their designs. Recently, celebrities like Dancing with the Star’s Co-host Brooke Burke, Celebrity Apprentice-alum Lisa Rinna and singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth have been spotted wearing the Kardashian Kollection Women’s Ottoman Pencil Dress. I like how this dress seems to fit every body type and compliment them from athletic, curvy, and slim. ( I know Chenoweth is petite but look at how that dress and pose show off her womanly curves).

 
I love this shade of red particularly with Khloe and in this picture for their ad campaign with her lips I can’t help but think of Khloe Kardashian as a modern version of Veronica Lake. Nope the deep wave isn’t there, but the freshness, stoic-nature (stoic is not a bad attribute in my opinion because I’ve always grown the respect the strength and beauty of those who carry this characteristic), glamour, and beauty is very much apparent.

 

 

 

Kim Kardashian Kris Humphries Divorce

Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Headed To Divorce Court; Did Kris Demand $7 Million From Kim? Plus Kim Depressed About Her Crumbling Image!

 Kim Kardsahian, likely went into her divorce with Kris Humprhies expecting nothing could go wrong; that perhaps Kris, like herself, could see they were not suited for each other and they would both go their separate ways–with the pre-nup firmly in tact–and everyone feeling sorry for Kim that she married a dud. Unfortunately, Kim’s hubris didn’t allow her to see the forest for the trees. And she didn’t expect a hurt and furious Kris, feeling fooled and taken advantage of, to fight back!

Kris is continuing his quest to expose Kim for the lying fraud she is – and that is terrifying the increasingly depressed and unhappy star. The ex-couple is headed to court on Monday, March 12th for the beginning stages of their divorce trial!

One thing Kris is fighting for is his reputation restored; the NJ Nets forwards feels his portrayal on Kourtney & Kim Take New York has besmirched his reputation and forced the public to see him as someone he is not. And Kim is fighting to keep her secrets from being exposed!
“All he really wants is for his name to be cleared and for the Kardashians to be honest about their malicious intentions and manipulations,” a friend tells Life & Style (via their print edition). “He wants people to know he isn’t the guy they made him out to be. If they’re unwilling to do that, Kris is prepared to fight.”

And proving that he’s not backing down, Kris’ Minnesota-based lawyer, Lee Hutton has been approved to represent him in LA – and Kim is not contesting that! Kim is trying to do everything in her power to make this go away quickly and quietly, approving Kris’ requests will speed up the process.

Kim is extremely worried about this process dragging on, and she’s very afraid of what Kris’ team will drag up! “Kim is terrified to face Kris,” her friend reveals. “She knows he wants to humiliate her the way he feels she’s humiliated him.”

“Kris’ team is looking for every excuse to force her to take the stand,” Kim’s friend adds. If Kim takes the stand, she’ll be forced to be truthful, because if she lies under oath that would be perjury and she could be arrested. Kris wholeheartedly believes that Kim’s public image is based on carefully constructed lies. Because it is.

Luckily for Kris, all the negative publicity and self-centered behavior has shown Kim in an extremely unflattering light, and she is scrambling desperately to restore the public to her side. Kim’s pathetic attempts to seem like a good and honest person have been mocked by the media and former fans have turned on her as well. Kim has even tried turning to church to restore her popularity!
“This is torturing to her,” the friend insists. “The longer this drags on the more despondent she becomes. This is the worst time in her life.”

Even Kim’s family is fed up with this nonsense! “It’s hard for them to be sympathetic,” a friend reveals. “Her family is sick of her complaining, and without their support she’s starting to really fall apart.” Well, perhaps if Kim wasn’t so obsessed with her image and hadn’t built her self-esteem around popularity, she wouldn’t be crumbling because the media is no longer her best friend!
“Kim is emotionally devastated,” a friend explains. “The backlash has destroyed her.” The unhappy star has apparently turned to emotional eating and is now starting to gain weight! “Kim wakes up every morning in a nightmare that just won’t end!”
While Kim sits at home alone and depressed, pretending life is fine; Kris’ career is booming. He’s had a great season and is proving to the world that he moved on.

Kim’s family is frustrated that her actions have affected their income and worry this could permanently destroy everything they’ve built. Additionally, If Kris is successful in proving “fraud”, the prenup the former couple signed would be invalid and Kim could be forced to hand over half of her fortune. And oh, wouldn’t that be fantastic!

She is so desperate to stop Kris, Kim is practically bribing him! Kim expected Kris would ask for $2 million dollars in the settlement, and was prepared to shell out, but now news has emerged that Kris wants more – much more! Kris is seeking $7M from the star – which is less than half of the reported $17M Kim pocketed on their sham wedding!

According to TMZ, Kris apparently issued an ultimatum through his attorney, stating she either write a check or they’re headed to court! Apparently, Kim isn’t ready to pony up just yet. Kim’s camp is contesting, claiming Kris made an estimated $1M through wedding related publicity and deals – a number far smaller than the money she allegedly earned. And arguing means she’s treading on dangerous grounds.

Kris feels he’s entitled to that money because the Kardashians used him to grow their fortune! And he is looking to prove it in court! Kris believes “that there was a malicious intention by the Kardashians to use Kris and to make money and benefit themselves from him ,” a source shares with HollywoodLife. “He wants them to publicly admit that they never intended for it to be a real marriage.” I’m guessing he will also be subpoenaing some bank statements!

Although, the source is quick to point out Kris’ demands have little to do with making money. “Kris isn’t mean, he doesn’t do things to others and it’s not about the money,” and Kris plans to donate most of the proceeds from the divorce to charity!
Is anyone else really excited to see how this all pans out. A public trial would be the juiciest thing to hit reality TV since…well, ever!

Bobbi Kristina Caught Kissing Whitney Houston’s Secret Adopted Son Nicholas Gordon?

There’s some strange things allegedly going on between Bobbi Kristina and her “play brother” Nicholas Gordon, the 22-year-old man who Whitney Houston “adopted” and raised as if he was her own son.

Two eyewitnesses tell HollywoodLife.com that they witnessed the 19-year-old girl lip kissing her unofficial adopted brother, Nicholas Gordon, who lives with her in Whitney Houston‘s former townhouse in Atlanta. 

Late Whitney Houston with her Adopted son and Bobbi Kristina

Our sources say Bobbi Kristina and Nick weren’t holding back their PDA during a shopping trip to Target in the community of Johns Creek, Georgia, near their gated community on March 9. 

“Bobbi and Nick were in the music section and then all over the store,” two sources tell us. “Bobbi was kissing him on the mouth and holding hands. They were laughing and smiling and seemed SO happy.” 

Add the eyewitnesses, “She was wearing a black short pencil bandage skirt with a black top and black knee high boots. Her hair and makeup were all done too, like she was going to go out on the town. He was in all black — black jeans, black shirt, earrings and a black wide-brimmed hat.” 

       Bobbi Kristina, 19, and Nick, 22, wandered all around the store holding hands

 Even though Bobbi Kristina, 19, and Nick, 22, wandered all around the store, they didn’t have a cart or anything with them and left in a silver SUV, the same one that’s usually seen outside their townhouse. 

We know additionally for a fact that Bobbi was with Nick in Target, since he tweeted a photo of the two of them together later that afternoon in the same outfits our eyewitnesses saw and described.
Their close relationship has been going on for several months, and Bobbi and Nick’s tweets back and forth to each other prove it.

Jaleel White Dishes On 'Dancing,' Fatherhood & Keeping Up With His 'Family Matters' Co-Stars

Mr Jaleel White on the left his alias Steve urcle of family matter

He first stole our hearts as the lovable snort-prone Steve Urkel in "Family Matters," and now, Jaleel White is set to make America smile once again as he prepares to hit the ballroom on "Dancing with the Stars."

As his dance floor debut draws near, AccessHollywood.com caught up with the 35-year-old star to dish on his multiple upcoming projects, fatherhood and his off-screen relationship with Kellie Shanygne Williams (Laura Winslow on "Family Matters") - the long-desired object of Urkel's bespectacled, suspendered affection.

It was very brother-sisterly," Jaleel said of his off-air status with Kellie. "She's married now and we both have children. She moved back to Maryland and I think that was a good move for her. She's readapted to real life and motherhood."
Adding, "Kellie's wonderful - she's great. I always thought she was an incredibly underrated actress."

Hanging out with Kellie and friends wasn't the only perk of "Family Matters" daily life - Jaleel revealed he used to play basketball with George Clooney during his down time, as the "ER" set was right next door.
"[I won] pretty much all the time. But George is quite the hustler when it comes to H.O.R.S.E.," Jaleel told Access with a laugh, referring to the friendly basketball game. "You do not want to play George Clooney in H.O.R.S.E.!
"I haven't [kept in touch with him]," he added. "Obviously there was a huge age difference and our interaction was organic. The guy loves basketball, he's a complete gentleman -- very competitive -- and really one of the coolest guys I've ever had the pleasure of working next door to on a stage."

Now the proud father of a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Jaleel admits his baby girl is more familiar with his role in the family comedy "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer," versus "Family Matters."
"She's old enough to understand that Daddy goes to work, she is old enough to understand that Daddy's work puts him on the TV," Jaleel told Access of his daughter's comprehension of his career . "She will come hit me over the head with the 'Judy Moody' DVD and say, 'Put Daddy in!' and I think that's really awesome.

"People ask all the time, 'Does she know what you did?' and I say, 'No! You're old, she's young!" he added, laughing. "She knows me from 'Judy Moody' and the Cee Lo video ['Cry Baby']."
As for whether his daughter will get to watch her daddy compete for the mirrorball trophy from the "DWTS" ballroom, Jaleel says she may be a little young for a front row seat.
"I'm probably going to keep her in [my] trailer," he told Access . "I don't really want to put her out there like that -- not right now at least. I'm going to play it by ear."


The actor will definitely have the support of a family member in the ballroom however - Mama White, who is a huge "DWTS" fan.
"Gail White - she will not be denied!" he said with a laugh. "I would be shocked if she does not come to every show."
In addition to "Dancing," Jaleel will soon play host on Syfy's new game show, "Total Blackout," as well as guest starring on USA's "Psych" for a second time next Wednesday alongside Mekhi Pfeiffer and Cheech Marin, and the actor is thrilled to be back bringing smiles to faces of his fans.
"I make people laugh. If you give me a funny script, I'm going to make it even funnier," he told Access . "My heroes are Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy and people of that sort, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, and hopefully I'll get back to that soon enough.
"But right now, it's really about running the gamut of showing people I can do all of these other things, and hey, it seems to have worked out in the last 20 months really great," he added.
See Jaleel make his "Dancing with the Stars" debut alongside professional partner Kym Johnson when Season 14 premieres on Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
"Total Blackout" premieres on April 25 at 10 PM on Syfy.

AP Exclusive: Obama's transgender ex-nanny outcast

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Once, long ago, Evie looked after "Barry" Obama, the kid who would grow up to become the world's most powerful man. Now, his transgender former nanny has given up her tight, flowery dresses, her brocade vest and her bras, and is living in fear on Indonesia's streets.

Evie, who was born a man but believes she is really a woman, has endured a lifetime of taunts and beatings because of her identity. She describes how soldiers once shaved her long, black hair to the scalp and smashed out glowing cigarettes onto her hands and arms.

The turning point came when she found a transgender friend's bloated body floating in a backed-up sewage canal two decades ago. She grabbed all her girlie clothes in her arms and stuffed them into two big boxes. Half-used lipstick, powder, eye makeup — she gave them all away.

"I knew in my heart I was a woman, but I didn't want to die like that," says Evie, now 66, her lips trembling slightly as the memories flood back. "So I decided to just accept it. ... I've been living like this, a man, ever since."

Indonesia's attitude toward transgenders is complex. Nobody knows how many of them live in the sprawling archipelagic nation of 240 million, but activists estimate 7 million. Because Indonesia is home to more Muslims than any other country in the world, the pervasiveness of men who live as women and vice versa often catches newcomers by surprise. They hold the occasional pageant, work as singers or at salons and include well-known celebrity talk show host Dorce Gamalama.

Twister slams same area hit by killer storm in '11

HARVEST, Ala. (AP) — Cody Stewart is done owning a home for a little while. He has lost his house to tornadoes twice in 10 months.

A killer twister wiped out his neighborhood in the epic Alabama storms April 27, causing Stewart $40,000 worth of damage that forced him to temporarily move in with his parents. In his house for less than two months with repairs still incomplete, another tornado hit again Friday, ripping off the roof, slinging it into the backyard and leaving the walls bowed outward.

This time, the damage is beyond repair.

"I kind of expected there to be more storms again this year, but you never expect it to hit the same place twice," Stewart said Saturday as he stood in what remains of his wood-frame home. "I think I'm going to live in an apartment awhile. I'm not superstitious, but it just kind of seems there's a path here and I don't want to be in it again, and I hope other people make the same choice."

While scattered damage was reported elsewhere, the worst destruction was in Limestone and Madison counties, where 190 homes were damaged or destroyed.

The damage included nearly every house in Stewart's neighborhood on Yarbrough Road, located in the Tennessee Valley about 15 miles northwest of Huntsville.

The storms were not as deadly in Alabama this time. Nearly 200 miles south of Harvest, which is near the Tennessee state line, one person was killed in the Tallapoosa County community of Jackson's Gap. Last year, twisters cut a wide path of destruction across the region, killing about 250 people statewide, including at least two near where Stewart lived.

Dozens of homes were damaged or destroyed a year ago in his neighborhood, which was left looking like logging crews had come through because all of the trees were snapped and tossed to the ground.

The twister Friday was smaller and didn't cause any serious injuries, but it hit homes where people were still recovering.

Across the street from Stewart, Jason Kerr and his wife lost their home to the April 27 twister but weren't injured. Kerr had just finished demolishing the house, rebuilding the garage and hauling in $5,000 worth of dirt for a new foundation when the latest storm stuck. Their brand new garage was damaged, and they might not be able to repair it.

Kerr dreads again dealing with insurance companies that he said seem to pinch every dollar.

"It makes it hard for the people on the ground who have lost everything," he said. "It's a difficult time for everybody."

That includes James and Judy Hodges, who live up the street on the corner. They just finished $65,000 in repairs to their home and moved back in; now the house looks it was hit with a giant ax that flayed open the roof and ripped off the front of the structure.

"Time to rebuild again," she said as church volunteers helped clear away debris and pick up belongings scattered through the yard.

Longtime residents talk about the 1974 tornado outbreak that wiped out hundreds of homes, killed nearly 90 people and injured about 950 people in north Alabama. Stewart remembers a twister in the early '90s, when he was still a boy. The repeated bashings have left people feeling short on luck, at the very least.

As Stewart left home Friday to drive to work at a tech company in Huntsville, something felt eerie. Forecasters had been warning of the chance of severe weather for days, and he said it was too warm for early March; the sky looked too gray.

"It was just that sick feeling in your stomach," he said. "It was like, 'It feels familiar.'"

Now, with Yarbrough Road hit twice in such a short period, Stewart said nothing will ever be the same there.

"It's time to move on," he said.

Nicole Scherzinger on 'X Factor' exit: 'I have no regrets'

Nicole Scherzinger has opened up for the first time about her departure from “The X Factor.”

In an interview with Access Hollywood correspondent Tim Vincent on Tuesday, as she announced her new role as Global Brand Ambassador for Herbal Essences, Nicole addressed parting ways with the FOX show.“What happened?” Tim asked.

“What happened? Well, all I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show,” Nicole told Tim in Los Angeles on Tuesday. “I know everybody’s talking about it, they’re saying good, bad, they love me or hate me, but the one thing you can’t say is that I didn’t give it my all.”Last week, FOX confirmed that Nicole, fellow judge Paula Abdul and show host Steve Jones would not be back for a second season on Simon Cowell’s singing reality competition, and Nicole told Tim she enjoyed her time on the stateside version.

“I had a wonderful experience on the show,” Nicole continued. “I loved being a part of my ‘X Factor’ family. Nothing could obviously prepare me for everything I had to go through, all the emotions and stuff, but I have no regrets. I’ve always believed in never looking back and just moving forward and I’ve got an amazing year to look forward to.”

Steve famously told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover last year that if he did part ways with “The X Factor,” he’d be calling Nicole in hopes of a possible romance.Nicole told Tim that Steve hasn’t yet reached out, and suggested that if he did, his chances weren’t particularly good.

“No,” she laughed. “He’s like a brother.”In addition to her new Herbal Essences Global Brand Ambassador gig, Nicole has a host of music-related endeavors in the works now that she isn’t returning to “The X Factor.”

“I’m kicking off with my European headlining tour, I’m leaving in a few days for that,” she said, joking she was “actually doing choreography moves right before we were filming [this interview].”

In addition to her role in the Will Smith box office vehicle “Men in Black 3,” Nicole said she recently felt her passion reignited for musical theater.

“Last year I sang ‘Phantom of the Opera’ for the royal family and for Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, so that reignited me to want to be back in the theater again, so I think I’m gonna do some more theater work this year,” she said.

Justin Bieber gets $100,000 hybrid car for 18th birthday

Justin Bieber turns 18 today and he’s celebrating with a new car that Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore also own.

The pop star stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Thursday to celebrate his big day and his manager Scooter Braun surprised him with the hybrid luxury sports sedan that many car fanatics are anxious to get their hands on.“You work really, really hard,” Bieber’s manager told him. “I always yell at you, ‘Don’t get anything flashy!’ You know, we’re not about that. Be humble, be humble. And I kind of broke my own rule.

“We wanted to make sure you were environmentally friendly and we wanted to make sure since you love cars that when you’re on the road you are always environmentally friendly,” Scooter continued, presenting the singer with a Fisker Karma. “We decided to get you a car that would make you stand out.”But Bieber wasn’t the only one getting gifts on his big day – he also treated his legions of fans to some good news.

“My big announcement is that on March 26th my first single is coming out and it’s called ‘Boyfriend,’” he told Ellen, explaining that the song is about “Talking to this girl if I was your boyfriend I would never let you go.”

Nick Cannon Hospitalized For Kidney Failure.. it was January 4, 2012 – 11:47 pm

                                                           MR and MRS Nick Cannon

After months of waiting on Mariah Carey hand and foot during her pregnancy to their 8-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan back in 2011, the roles have reversed for Nick Cannon.

The 31-year-old America’s Got Talent host was hospitalized this afternoon while vacationing in Aspen, Colorado with “mild kidney failure,” and his wifey refuses to leave his bedside. “Please pray for Nick as he’s fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure,” Mariah tweeted along with a picture of her lying in the hospital bed with her man. Nick was later transferred to a facility in Los Angeles to receive the best medical attention.

The couple during happier times in Aspen, Colorado.

“We’re trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances, but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful,” Mariah wrote on her website. “They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C. I’m not trying to make light out of the situation because it’s a serious moment that’s very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers.”

Although “mild kidney failure” is not actually a medical term, experts are guessing the star is most likely suffering from “acute kidney failure” which can come on suddenly but can be treated. Despite his illness, Nick is keeping up a brave face for friends, family and fans. “Thank you for all your love, prayers and concern,” he tweeted. “You know me. I will be a’ight.”

ASPEN FAMILY FUN: Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon With Roc & Roe NYE In Colorado Jan 01 | by _YBF

*After falling suddenly ill over kidney complications, Nick Cannon is especially thankful to his wife Mariah Carey, who stayed by his side night and day.

The actor and comedian was hospitalized recently for what’s been described as “mild kidney failure.”

At the 2012 BET Honors over the weekend, he couldn’t hold back gratitude for his wife’s support.

“When times are hard, you guys don’t see her at 3 o’clock in the morning, getting up in the middle of the night, fixing me soup when my kidneys ain’t acting right. Mariah Carey does that,” Cannon said onstage.

The moment was particularly special because he held his 8-month-old son in his hands.

“It is truly, truly a blessing to be here tonight, and I am humbled and in awe of everyone’s presence, but mostly my hero right there,” Cannon continued as he looked as his wife seated in the front row. “What most people don’t get the opportunity to experience is the true woman; the virtuous person who is my angel.”

Carey then big-upped her man with a few tears in her eyes.

“To my incredible husband who [has been] out of the hospital two days — look at him all strong and healthy and big and too buff for the tux — it’s incredible,” she beamed.
Very sweet.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon were spotted walking with their twins Monroe and Moroccan Cannon in Colorado yesterday. See the candids inside....

BABA KANUMBA AJIBU MAPIGO

Steven Kanumba akiwa na Baba yake mzazi Mzee Charles Kuzekwa Kanumba

TAKRIBAN wiki moja tangu mwigizaji mstari wa mbele katika sinema za Bongo, Steven Charles Kanumba kuyafungukia maisha aliyoishi kwa baba yake mzazi, Charles Kusekwa Kanumba, mzee huyo amejibu mapigo, Ijumaa Wikienda linakuwa la kwanza kunasa sauti yake.
KUMBUKUMBU ZA KUSIKITISHA
Akizungumza kwa dakika 30 kwa njia ya simu kutokea Ngokolo, Shinyanga anakoishi, mzee huyo alizirarua moja kwa moja kauli za mwanaye alizozitoa kuhusu yeye alipohojiwa na Kipindi cha Take One kinachorushwa mawinguni na Runinga ya Clouds kwa msaada wa Mtangazaji Zamaradi Mketema.
AANZA KUFUNGUKA
 mzee huyo alisema: “Yote yaliyozungumzwa na Steven (Kanumba) si ya kweli na yametokana na mama yake mzazi.
“Mama yake alinikimbia nyumbani na Steven akiwa mdogo kabisa, akaenda naye Bukoba na kumficha huko hadi alipougua, akashindwa kumtibu na kumrudisha hapa Ngokolo akiwa na miaka mitatu, akanibwagia.
“Hapa nyumbani nilikuwa nimeshapata mke mwingine (anaitwa Rehema), tulimpeleka kutibiwa mpaka akapona na kupata afya, akawa kama wengine.
“Huyu mke wangu anayesema alikuwa akimtesa, ndiye aliyemlea mpaka alipofikisha umri wa kuanza darasa la kwanza.
Akiendelea kusimulia mkasa mzima, mzee huyo alisema: “Alianza shule hapahapa, akasoma hadi alipomaliza darasa la saba na kujiandaa kwenda sekondari.
“Mama yake akaja tena kumchukua, akaenda kuishi naye kwake eneo la Kambarage. Sasa anaposema sikumpa malezi mazuri, ni yapi hayo?
“Pia Steven katika kauli zake, amesema eti mimi na mama yake (wa kambo) tulikuwa tunamchungisha mbuzi na kuosha sana vyombo, wewe mwandishi hujakaa kijijini? Kuchunga mbuzi au ng’ombe mbona ni kawaida sana?
“Kusema ukweli amenidhalilisha sana. Baada ya maneno yake yale nilimpa siku tatu aniombe radhi lakini alikataa, machozi yangu kwake yapo moyoni mwangu.”
  “Unamaanisha nini kusema akuombe radhi?”
Baba Kanumba: “Kwa hizo kauli zake alizofundishwa na mama yake.”
 “Kwa nini unasema alifundishwa na mama yake? Kwani Kanumba alikuwa haoni anachofanyiwa kipindi yupo kwako?”
Baba Kanumba: “Kuosha vyombo, kuchunga mbuzi, kupika ni kumnyanyasa mtoto? Si alikuwa akifundishwa jinsi ya kuishi kwa kujitegemea?”
  “Kwani hakukuwa na watoto wengine wa kumsaidia kufanya hizo kazi hadi akawa anafanya yeye?”
Baba Kanumba: “Yeye ni mtoto wa mwisho, ilimpasa afanye kazi hizo. Tena nashangaa, amekuwa akija huku mara kwa mara na mama yake mdogo (Rehema) wanapatana sana.”
“Mara nyingi amekuwa akija huku nyumbani, nyota yake ikishuka anakuja. Mwaka jana mwezi wa 9 alikuja, nyota yake ilikuwa imefifia, nikamtafutia kizizi ikarudi tena, si unaona amekuwa maarufu zaidi.”
Ijumaa Wikienda: “Unataka kuniambia wewe ni mganga wa kienyeji?
Baba Kanumba: “Hapana, lakini najua dawa za kumfanya mwanangu azidi kuwa maarufu.”
 KANUMBA MIKONONI MWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI
Baada ya kuzungumza na mzee huyo, Ijumaa Wikienda lilimtafuta Kanumba na kumpasulia jipu kuhusu alichokisema baba yake.
 Kwanza alikiri namba iliyozungumza na ya vyombo vya habari ni ya baba yake, kisha kwa huzuni kubwa, msanii huyo alianza kwa kusema: “Nimesikitishwa sana na uongo ambao amezungumza baba yangu.
“Naamini kama angeangalia kipindi asingenijibu hivi. Mimi sikwenda kwenye kipindi kumsemea. Ila nilikuwa najibu maswali niliyoulizwa. Niliulizwa historia ya maisha yangu ikoje? Ndiyo nikaweka wazi.
“Anachonilaumu yeye ni kipi? Kusema ukweli? Kama anaona nimemdhalilisha, anisamehe sana, lengo langu halikuwa kumdhalilisha. Lakini ukweli utabaki palepale.
“Ikitokea siku nikaitwa kwenye runinga nyingine na kuulizwa, nitasema yaleyale kwa sababu ndiyo ukweli wangu, mimi sipendi kusema uongo.
“Anaposema mama alinibwaga kwake nikiwa na miaka 3, ni uongo, mimi nilikwenda kwa baba nikiwa darasa la 4, mkubwa kabisa.

YALIYOSITIRIKA YASEMWA
“Mbona mama alimpeleka Ustawi wa Jamii akanikana, hajawaambia? Au anadhani sijui?
“Kingine kinachoniuma ambacho sijakisema, (baba) ana tabia ya kuniomba fedha akidai anataka kufanyia kazi fulani au anakwenda kwenye matibabu, lakini kumbe sivyo.
“Halafu mbaya zaidi nikimtumia fedha anawaambia watu pale mtaani acheni nizile fedha za mjinga. Inaniuma sana.
“Pia, mimi sijawahi kwenda kwake kutaka dawa ya kukuza jina langu, kwanza wala hajui ilikuwaje nikaingia kwenye hii sanaa. Yeye alishtukia tu naonekana kwenye runinga.
“Siwezi kutumia ushirikina ili niwe maarufu, mama kanilea kwa misingi ya dini na ugomvi wetu mkubwa alikuwa akitaka kila ninaposafiri nibebe Biblia kwenye begi.”

Kuhusu kupewa siku tatu kuomba radhi?
Kanumba: “Si kweli, tangu nilipohojiwa kwenye kile kipindi hajawahi kuniambia hivyo.”

Shyrose Bhanji hoi nje ya nchi

MKUU wa Kitengo cha Mawasiliano cha Benki ya Makabwela (NMB), Shyrose Bhanji (pichani) hivi karibuni amewashitua watu baada ya kuposti picha kwenye ukurasa wake wa Facebook ikimuonesha amelazwa katika hospitali moja inayodaiwa iko nje ya nchi.
Picha hiyo ambayo pia inapatikana katika mitandao mingine bila kutaja kuwa ni hospitali gani na ipo nchi gani, inamuonesha mwanadada huyo akiwa hoi kitandani, hali iliyowafanya wadau kuhoji juu ya kinachomsumbua.
“Dah! Pole sana dada Shyrose, Mungu akujaalie upone haraka, tatizo nini? alihoji Jack huku mwingine aliyejitambulisha kwa jina la John akiandika: “Taarifa hizi zimenishitua sana, Watanzania tumuombee mpendwa wetu apone haraka ili arejee katika shughuli za ujenzi wa taifa.”
Kufuatia ‘comments’ hizo zipatazo 900 za wadau zilizokuwa zikimpa pole na nyingine kutaka kujua ugonjwa uliomlaza, Shyrose alilazimika kufunguka:
“Ni dehydration (upungufu wa maji mwilini) na fatigue (uchovu) but naendelea vizuri. Nimepatwa na homa kali sana na ninasikia baridi mpaka kwenye mifupa...ninajisikia vibaya sana na niko tu kitandani kitu ambacho
Aidha, siku chache baadaye Shyrose aliandika kuwa ametoka hospitalini na anaendelea vizuri.
“I have been discharged and I feel so much better than the last few days. I am happy to see that I am loved, thanks all very much... I will be back home soon…(Nimeruhusiwa na naendelea vizuri tofauti na siku chache zilizopita. Ninayo furaha kuona napendwa, nashukuru sana..nitarudi nyumbani siku si nyingi,” alisema Shyrose huku ikionekana kuwa kweli alilazwa nje ya nchi.

REHEMA FABIAN ANYWA SUMU

STAA wa muvi za Kibongo ambaye alipata maujiko kupitia ushiriki wake katika Shindano la Miss Kiswahili 2009 na kuuza nyago kwenye video za wasanii wa Bongo Fleva, Rehema Fabian (pichani) anadaiwa kunywa sumu ya panya kisa kikiwa ni ishu za mapenzi.
Kwa mujibu wa chanzo makini, Rehema alifanya tukio hilo nyumbani kwake Mbezi Beach, Dar es Salaam, asubuhi ya Ijumaa iliyopita, baada ya kuunganishwa kwenye fungu la mastaa wanaogombea penzi la pedeshee aliyetajwa kwa jina moja la Jacob.
“Rehema anaishi na Lilian (shosti wake), wakati ishu hiyo inatokea, Lilian alikuwa ametoka akamwacha peke yake ‘so’ nasikia alikwenda dukani akachukua sumu ya panya kwa kisingizio kuwa panya wamejaa ‘geto’ kwake,” kilisema chanzo chetu na kuongeza:
“Lilian aliporejea ndipo alipopiga makelele akiomba msaada kwa majirani hivyo Rehema akawahishwa Mwananyamala (hospitali), alipopata nafuu, usiku alichukuliwa na polisi na kwenda kufunguliwa shitaka la kutaka kujiua.”
Ilidaiwa kuwa baada ya kutoa maelezo polisi, Rehema ambaye afya yake ilikuwa haijatengemaa aliwekewa dhamana ambapo alirudishwa nyumbani na mashosti zake waliokuwa wakimsaidia.
Alipotafutwa na Ijumaa Wikienda, Rehema alidai hawezi kuzungumza kwani hali yake ilikuwa mbaya.

Dakika za mwisho za Whitney Houston

Safari ya maisha ya marehemu Whitney Houston ‘Queen of Pop’, aliyeaga dunia baada ya kuzidiwa na dozi ya dawa zinazotajwa kuwa ni za kulevya, ilifikia mwisho hapa duniani baada ya mwili wake kuzikwa katika makaburi ya New Hope Baptist Church, Newark, New Jersey, mahali alikozaliwa na kuanza kuonesha kipaji chake.
Mengi yamezungumzwa kuhusiana na kifo chake, lakini simulizi inayowatia simanzi wengi ni ile inayohusu saa za mwisho za uhai wake kabla ya kuaga dunia ambapo mtu wake wa karibu anayetajwa kuwa alikuwa mpenzi wake mpaka anaaga dunia, William Ray Norwood Jr. ‘Ray J’ anaelezea kwa masikitiko.
“Whitney alikuwa ni kama aliyekiona kifo chake kwani dakika za mwisho za uhai wake alikuwa anasema anatamani kwenda kuonana na Yesu na mara kwa mara alikuwa akinukuu vifungu vya Biblia vinavyoashiria mwisho wa maisha yake, jambo ambalo sikuwahi kumuona akilifanya tangu nianze kuwa naye.
“Kuna wakati alikuwa akizungumza mwenyewe maneno yasiyoeleweka na mpaka tukiwa naye kwenye Hoteli ya Beverly Hills sambamba na mwanaye, kuhudhuria sherehe ya Pre- Grammy, alikuwa haeleweki. Kuna wakati alikuwa analia mwenyewe, muda mwingine anacheka na muda mwingine alikuwa anamfokea kila mtu hadi kusababisha kupigana na mmoja wa watu pale ukumbini.
“Namuonea sana huruma binti yake, Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18, kwani alikuwa naye dakika chache kabla ya kifo chake, inasikitisha lakini mapenzi ya Mungu na yatimizwe, pumzika kwa amani Whitney,” alisema Ray J na kukaririwa na mtandao mmoja maarufu pande hizo.

SHILOLE: AVUNJIWA PUB YAKE

MCHEZA filamu za Kibongo ambaye ameanza kung’ara kwa kasi kupitia muziki, Zuwena Mohammed ‘Shilole’ hivi karibuni aliangua kilio kama mtoto hadharani baada ya kukombwa kila kitu kwenye Pub yake iliyopo Kinondoni jijini Dar.
Akizungumza na Tollywood Newz huku uso wake ukiwa umetawaliwa na huzuni, Shilole alisema kuwa kabla ya tukio hilo kutokea alikuwa amenunua vitu vilivyokuwa vimepungua na kuvijaza lakini usiku wezi walifika na kuvunja kisha kuiba kreti tano za bia, tatu za soda pamoja na runinga.
“Jamani roho inaniuma sana kwani ndiyo kwanza naanza kujijenga halafu watu wanakuja kuniibia, mbona hawaendi kuiba kwa matajiri mpaka waje kunikwapulia kidogo ninachojitafutia?” alisema Shilole.
Staa huyo aliongeza kuwa pamoja na kukombwa vitu vyake hajakata tamaa, atafanya kila linalowezekana ili kukaa sawa.

MASKINI DOTNATA

STAA wa filamu Bongo aliye mjasiriamali na mlezi wa wasanii nchini, Husna Posh ‘Dotnata’ yupo kitandani akiugulia maumivu makali baada ya kufanyiwa upasuaji wa tumbo na kutolewa uvimbe (nyama) wenye uzito wa kilo mbili, imeelezwa.
 kutoka kwa mtu wa karibu na msanii huyo ambaye ana sifa ya kusaidia wenzake, zinasema kwamba Dotnata amezidiwa sana kabla ya kulazwa na kupata matibabu.
ILIANZA KAMA UTANI...
Chanzo hicho kwa sharti la kuhifadhiwa jina lake, kilieleza kwamba, maradhi ya msanii huyo yalianza kumsumbua muda mrefu lakini alipuuzia akiamini ni ugonjwa wa kawaida tu.
“Ilianza kama utani, Dot (Dotnata) alikuwa akisikia maumivu na kumeza vidonge vya kawaida kisha maisha yanaendelea, kumbe alikuwa na uvimbe tumboni. Alipokwenda hospitali na kugundua hilo, alishangaa sana, lakini tayari tatizo lilikuwa limeshakuwa kubwa,” kilieleza chanzo hicho na kuongeza:
 “Madaktari walisema, kama angewahi kidogo, angeweza kupata tiba tofauti na upasuaji, na kama angelazimika kufanyiwa, basi ingekuwa operesheni ya kawaida.

DOTNATA KITANDANI
 “Ni kweli ndugu yangu, naumwa nipo kitandani, lakini nimesharuhusiwa, kwa sasa nipo nyumbani,” alisema kwa sauti ya taratibu sana akionekana kuugulia maumivu.
 Akizungumza kwa tabu Dotnata alisema, alianza kupata maumivu ya tumbo muda mrefu kabla ya kuamua kwenda hospitalini kufanyiwa uchunguzi na kugundulika kuwa ana uvimbe.
“Mwanzoni nilipuuza, lakini maumivu yaliponizidia nikaamua kwenda (Hospitali ya) TIH (Tanzania Institute of Heart) na kufanyiwa vipimo vilivyoonesha kwamba nina uvimbe tumboni.
“Kwa kweli nilishtuka sana, lakini sikuwa na jinsi, ikanibidi nikubali kufanyiwa upasuaji kwa kuwa madaktari walisema ndiyo tiba pekee itakayonisaidia,” alisema na kuongeza:
“Ulikuwa uvimbe mkubwa, niliambiwa kwamba unafikia kilo mbili. Sikuamini kama kweli umetolewa tumboni mwangu, lakini kwa sasa namshukuru Mungu, ninaendelea vizuri. Kuna tofauti kubwa na ilivyokuwa mwanzoni.”

Mastaa wampongeza Kanumba kumchana baba yake

KATIKA hali isiyotarajiwa na wengi, baadhi ya mastaa wa filamu Bongo wamempongeza mwenzao Steven Kanumba kwa kitendo cha kumchana baba yake.
Kanumba wiki iliyopita kupitia Kipindi cha Take One kinachorushwa hewani kupitia Clouds TV alimtolea uvivu ‘mshua’ wake, Mzee Charles Kusekwa akidai amechangia katika mateso aliyoyapata utotoni mwake.
Baada ya Kanumba kueleza hayo, baadhi ya watu wakiwemo wasanii wenzake walimshangaa na kueleza kuwa kitendo alichokifanya si cha kiungwana kwani mzazi ni mzazi tu, hata kama amekosea si sahihi kumdhalilisha.
Hata hivyo, wapo wasanii waliompongeza msanii huyo kwa uamuzi aliochukua wakidai ni njia sahihi ya kutoa machungu yake. Walichokisema wasanii hao nenda ukurasa wa 6.

SAKATA LA RUGE, SUGU... FULL STORY

Sugu Akielezea jinsi alivyoamua kupata na Ruge kwa waandishi wa habari

Ruge nae akisawazisha ishu yake na Sugu katika Press iliyofanyika Habari maelezo.

SAKATA la maridhiano kati ya Mkurugenzi wa Uzalishaji Vipindi wa Clouds Media Group, Rugemalila Mutahaba na Mbunge wa Mbeya Mjini, Joseph Mbilinyi a.k.a Sugu au Mr II, limeibua gumzo kubwa miongoni mwa wadau wa burudani Bongo,
TUJIKUMBUSHE
Jumanne wiki hii, Waziri wa Habari, Vijana Utamaduni na Michezo, Dk. Emmanuel Nchimbi na Mbunge wa Singida Mashariki, Tundu Lissu walicheza kama Pele walipofanikisha makubaliano kati ya Ruge na Sugu ambao wamekuwa wakisuguana kwa muda mrefu.
Ilifahamika kitambo kuwa wawili hao wana mgogoro wa kimaslahi hasa kuhusiana na haki za wasanii wa muziki wa Bongo Fleva ambapo Sugu alikuwa akimtuhumu Ruge kuwanyonya.
Pia sababu nyingine ya kutibuana kwa wawili hao ni studio iliyotolewa na Rais Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete na kupewa THT pamoja na hatua ya Kituo cha Redio cha Clouds kutopiga nyimbo za baadhi ya wasanii.

WAZIRI NCHIMBI
Akizungumza katika Ukumbi wa Idara ya Habari Maelezo mara baada ya makubaliano hayo yaliyofikiwa kwenye ofisi ya Dk. Nchimbi, waziri huyo alisema:
“Wamekubaliana na kusaini kumaliza tofauti baada ya kufanyika kikao cha mwisho cha upatanishi ambapo katika zoezi hilo, pande zote ziliridhika kuwa msingi wa mgogoro wao ni kuamini kwamba upande mmoja hauutendei haki upande mwingine.

RUGE
Kwa upande wake Ruge alikuwa na haya ya kusema:
“Tumepanga mikakati ya jinsi tutakavyokuwa tunakutana kuendelea kusaidia sanaa yetu hii, ni kweli kabisa tumekubaliana bila shinikizo lolote, tunaamini sasa ni hatua ya kusogea mbele, tuachane na yaliyopita.”

SUGU
Katika mkutano huo na waandishi wa habari, Sugu alifunguka:
“Tulikuwa katika vita na vita lazima ifike mwisho labda iwe ni vita isiyo na malengo ndiyo haitaki suluhu, lakini kama ilikuwa na malengo, ina maana inapopatikana fursa ya suluhu kama kweli ulikuwa na dhamira ya dhati kwa kile unachokipigania, lazima ukubali kukaa chini na kutafuta suluhu ili tusonge mbele.”

SUGU ASAMBAZA TAARIFA KWA MASHABIKI WAKE
Hata hivyo, baadaye Sugu ambaye ni kiongozi wa Vinega (wasanii walio nyuma ya harakati za Sugu) alisambaza taarifa kwa mashabiki wake akiwataka kuelewa kile kilichotokea na kuwa ni matunda kwa sanaa hapa nchini.

WARAKA MZITO WA VINEGA
Jumatano wiki hii Kundi la Vinega kupitia chama cha TUMA chini ya mwenyekiti wake, Fredy Malick ‘Mkoloni’, walitoa waraka wao uliosomeka:
“Tunapenda kupongeza mafanikio yaliyotokana na mixtapes za Anti-Virus kwani ndiyo yaliyosababisha muafaka uliokuwa umetugawa wasanii na kutufanya tukose haki yetu ya msingi kama chombo pekee chenye dhamana ya kupokea misaada kutoka ndani na nje ya nchi na badala yake chama cha TUMA kinakwenda kuwa chombo cha wasanii kwa wale waliopo na watakaoendelea kujisajili.
“Tunafurahi sana na kupongeza jitihada za makusudi zilizochukuliwa na serikali kupitia wawakilishi wake, yaani Dk. Nchimbi na Mhe. Lissu kwa kutambua hoja za Vinega zilikuwa za msingi.
“Tunasisitiza umoja na kujiamini bila kuyumbishwa na kwa kuzingatia hili tunapenda watu wajue kuwa vita yoyote lazima iwe na malengo.”


HUKO NYUMA
Sekeseke la Sugu na Ruge lilianza kitambo hata kabla ya mbunge huyo kulalamika kuibiwa mradi wa Malaria No More akimtuhumu Ruge kuhusika kwani wakati akizindua albamu yake ya Veto alilalama tena kubaniwa na jamaa huyo, lakini sasa mambo shwari.

PONGEZI
Baada ya upatanisho huo, baadhi ya watu waliozungumza na Ijumaa kwa nyakati tofauti waliwapongeza Mhe.Nchimbi na Lissu na wangine waliochangia kufikia hatua hiyo.
Aidha, wadau hao waliwapongeza Sugu na Ruge kwa kuamua kufungua ukurasa mpya utakaokuwa na manufaa kwa vijana wengi hapa nchini.
