Adele is pregnant.
Adele and Simon Konecki
The British singing sensation, who is expecting along with boyfriend Simon Konecki, took to her blog to share the news with fans.
"Im delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," Adele wrote.
"I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx."
Konecki is chief executive of a charitable foundation, Drop4Drop, that works to alleviate the global water crisis. He has a daughter from a previous marriage, but this will be the first wee one for Adele.
Heartbreak has so far been the fodder for Adele's notoriously wrenching blockbuster albums, "19" and "21." The Ministry wonders if, with all this good fortune, she'll be able to bring the same heat. Although an Adele children's record doesn't sound half bad.
Congrats!!! So happy for you.

PREZZO BREAKS UP WITH GOLDIE
Does the phrase “I am done with Goldie” spell the end of the Goldezzo love?
Yesterday night Prezzo told his right hand man at the moment Keitta that he is done with Goldie for good.The Kenyan rapper was very serious while making it a real point for Keitta to understand that the relationship he has been sharing with Goldie is now a past thing.
He added that “I’m not even eating the food she cooks from now on. I can make eggs. I am done. Watch this space. It’s time to bring the old Prezzo back.” This means that Prezzo is now going to start living a real live he would have lived some time back hadn’t he got Goldie who has been taking care of him.
Good or bad enough, Goldie too looks not bothered by on going distance apart them. She is living a free and happy life which was unexpected.
During the dancing moment the boys shared yesterday before going to their dreamland,Prezzo told Biggie to stop playing Goldie’s songs.
Surprisingly, Prezzo was seen dancing to Goldi’e song and he too admitted that he liked the song when he was dishing this talk with his present best friend .”This chic is weirdo, finally I got caught up in the mix,” the Kenyan confessed to Keitta.
But we hope that this little separation won’t be permanent because we have seen the same couple going through these situations several times and they dealt well with them.

Rihanna & Chris Brown: How They’re Making Their Romance Work This Time?
the details!
Rihanna and Chris Brown are casually dating again, and those closest to the pair say it could definitely last a lifetime!
Rihanna, 24, and Chris, 23, are trying to make their relationship work this time.
“It’s beyond clear that Chris and Rihanna have been seeing each other, but they are taking it real slow,” the source said. “Everyone thinks that they’re about to hop int0 bed and get married and all that, but the truth is that they’re taking this new relationship very slowly. You see, they had a bad first round so they want to make sure s–t is cool and tight between them this time around. That’s why they go to clubs together and s–t like that. They’re testing the waters to see what it’s like to be in public with each other again.”
“They are just doing them right now — no strings attached and s–t,” our source said. “Chris even has Karrueche by his side even while he and Rihanna are doing their thing. Everything is out in the open and everybody involved is going with the flow. Karrueche told Chris that she wants to be with him and support him and go see him perform at the BET Awards, and I know Rihanna may be there too — that should be off the chain. I don’t know what he said to either of them about that, but they both want to be there and support the man. I know he’d like them both to be there, but that may be too much. He’ll work it out though.”
Do YOU think Rihanna and Chris will make their love public soon?

Breaking News: Keitta Survives, Barbz Evicted!
It’s been a long day in Upville for all housemates nominated or not. It was also a hard time for Goldie to reveal her replacement and when she called out Keitta‘s name, the Ghanaian looked surprised but kept calm and went upstairs to pack his bags.
Goldie knelt on her knees and begged Barbz for forgiveness because she had no choice as her man Prezzo was also on the nominated list. Barbz hugged her and seemingly accepted her apology.
Well, Big Brother presenter IK called his name and said that he was not leaving Upville meaning that he had survived the chop board.
As for Barbz, unfortunately she was evicted from the StarGame show, thus leaving one South African (Keagan) in the house.
However, alot remains to be uncovered in the coming weeks in the house because Keitta will surely leave no stones unturned especially in his nomination sessions because he now knows that anything and anybody can nominate him.

She said that she can’t stand the fact that she has to spill the beans later in the day.
Goldie later asked for Biggie’s attention in the diary room where she could have made a decision to quit. As usual, a housemates is given some time to think about what they are about to do.
In an attempt to convince her change her already made up mind, Prezzo approached her in the bedroom and reminded her of how many people and fans she has behind her and that seeing her out immaturely will definitely not go down well with them.
“Think about your family and the fans you have out there,” Prezzo reminded her. He continued to convince her: “Your all i have….”
Prezzo continued to talk to her about going back to the diary room and cancel all that she had agreed with Biggie, however, she seemed determined to go ahead with her plans.
Well, hope Prezzo succeeds in convincing her other wise because if at all she continues with her plan, she could be leaving immaturely.

Pastor Chris Okotie Ends Four-Year Marriage With Wifev

Female Talkshow Host Rosie Engaged To Girlfriend!
Oprah Winfrey’s right-hand talk show host and American female television personality- Rosie O Donell- shocked the entertainment world this morning when she announced her engagement to her girlfriend- Michelle Rounds.
It was even more puzzling owing to the fact that Rosie was raised Roman Catholic. She lost her mother to cancer as a pre-teen and has stressed the importance of protecting children and supporting families throughout her career. So it sounded awkward to people who know her roots to believe what they heard this morning.
But many are not shocked as this is in fact the second time Rosie will be embarking on an act that could easily fetch her fourteen years behind bars in Nigeria.
Rosie was married in 2004 to another lady; Kelli Carpenter- a former Nickelodeon marketing executive. On February 26, 2004, the couple were married in San Francisco, two weeks after mayor Gavin Newsmon authorized the granting of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, which was later determined to be invalid under California law.
And in fact Kelli Carpenter still bears Rosie’s surname to this very day.
Rosie revealed during a taping of her show on the Oprah Winfrey Network today that she and girlfriend Michelle Rounds are, indeed, engaged!
The duo have not yet set a wedding date but it does seem likely that they’ll be swapping vows in New York, where same-sex marriage is legal, rather than in Chicago, where O’Donnell tapes her show.
Ghanaian movies banned in Nigeria!
The once harmonious relationship between the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood and its counterpart, Ghana’s Ghollywood,is currently under threat as the movie marketers under the aegis of Film, Video Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (FVPMAN) has placed embargo on Ghanaian films with effect from the end of this month.
The association has also resolved to halt the distribution of films produced by non-professionals. It insists that if such film(s) must be distributed at all, its right of ownership should be transferred to its members on negotiation
The FVPMAN chairman, Onitsha branch, Mr. Uzo Godson Nwosu who confirmed this development to HVP, said this position was taken after the association’s general meeting last weekend in Onitsha.
According to him, the decision became necessary following the position taken by their Ghanaian counterparts who have banned the distribution of Nigerian films in their country long time ago.
His words, “starting from the first week of August, no Ghanaian film will be allowed to enter the Nigerian market again. We have resolved that no Ghanaian film will be distributed within our controlled market. Our Ghanaian counterparts have long stopped distributing our films in their country, and given this development, we have no choice than to reciprocate the gesture.” FVPMAN boss stated.

Boko Haram frees 40 from Yobe Prison
Forty inmates of Yobe Prison were freed in an attack believed to have been carried out by the dreaded Boko Haram Sect, Patrick Egbuniwe, Yobe State police commissioner, said on Sunday.
"There was an attack on the Yobe prison this morning. The Boko Haram sect attacked the prison through the Emir's palace and 40 inmates escaped," he said.
"They attacked with rifles; the police and the joint task force confronted them. The Boko Haram members that were shot were carried away by the sect."
He said two of the attackers were shot dead and some policemen were injured.
Gun battles between sect members and security forces in Yobe's capital Damaturu killed 40 people on Tuesday last week.
Boko Haram has been blamed for several prison breaks in the past and one of the group's few demands has been that its imprisoned members should be freed.
Attacks on churches have intensified this month, sparking deadly religious violence in the northern state of Kaduna.
