BBA’s Kyle Smitten With Juliana

It looks like BBA Stargame housemate, Kyle Duncan Kushaba is ready to sit at the table of men. The rookie TV presenter was smoked busy trying to take his game to city diva and star singer Juliana Kanyomozi. The pair was smoked out at one of the top city restaurants recently. Holding a red rose in one hand and the ‘Nabikoowa’ singer’s waist in another, Kyle looks ready to romp as Juliana shyly holds onto his shoulder.
This isn’t shocking considering the fact Kyle has been connected to South Africa fashion designer Stella Nankya aka Star Qt. Apparently, she is behind Kyle’s fashion label.

Why I Lost Interest In Big Brother Africa – Belinda

One of Ghana’s rising actresses, Belinda Sefakor Dzata, has confessed to having succumbed to pressure from her family and friends to ‘forget’ taking part in the Big Brother Africa reality show.
The actress said she had always fantasized about being in the famous Big Brother house, and even auditioned once but failed to make it through. This, she said, was in 2009, for the Big Brother Revolution, which Ras Wayo was chosen.
A very disappointed Belinda had vowed to audition again the following year, but completely lost interest after her friends and family talked her out of the decision.
“My mom told me she will disown me if i ever stepped a foot in the Big Brother house,” she said. Further more, Belinda said majority of her friends discouraged her from the competition, with some even telling her it will be difficult for her to have a husband when she returns home.
Belinda, having a strong Christian background, eventually succumbed to the pressure. “My mom is a religious leader, while my uncle and grandfather are all strong Deeper Life elders.
“Most of my family members attend Deeper Life; I seem to be the only one who is Charismatic,” she said.
Belinda believes a Ghanaian would’ve won the competition by now if she had ever had the opportunity to represent Ghana. “I am fun to be with, i tolerate people a lot, i’m a nice person, i’m gifted, people like me wherever i go, and i relate to everybody equally.
Belinda, who clearly has a sense of humour, is still contemplating whether or not to audition for the next Big Brother Africa reality show.
Belinda who has quite a number of movies to her credit, started auditioning for onscreen acting roles at age 10. Oblivious of her acting abilities, she was utterly scorned and never given a role until 2003 when Revele Films, one of the internationally acclaimed Ghanaian film makers; discovered her in one of their auditions.
She was played the role of a nurse for the then “Home Sweet Home” television series. In no time, her fame started soaring.
The CEO of Venus Film, Mr. Abdul Salam Mumuni “movie stars maker” welcomed her into his production outfit.
Since then, she has featured in Venus Films block buster movies such as Beyonce, Chelsea, 4 Play, Strippers, The Prince Bride and Elmina by Revele Films and still counting. Currently, Belinda is the gluttonous female maidservant character in the TV series ‘The 5 Brides’ which shows Mondays at 8pm on Viasat1.

Goldie Visits Prezzo In Kenya- Wedding Calls Or Stunt?

Goldie is in good hands at the moment as she paid a return visit to lover boy, Prezzo in Kenya.Prezzo was the first to visit Goldie in Nigeria to plead for understanding over the way he treated her during the Big Brother Africa star game show.
When Prezzo came to Nigeria he disclosed that he was in love with Goldie and never ruled out the possibility of marriage later in life. The two were fond of each other during the Big Brother 7 TV reality show.Later,Goldie accused Prezzo of not returning her love with true affection. When Prezzo came to Nigeria, he had a press conference but throughout his stay, there was no media report on his meeting with Goldie.
Now that Goldie has gone to visit Prezzo in Kenya, keen observers believe that the couple might have settled their misunderstanding and ready to move on with marriage. Others simply believe the visit was mere stunt or at best part of Goldie’s working visit to the East African country.

Prezzo and Goldie Hooking Up in Kenya?

Big Brother housemates, Prezzo and Goldie might be having a hush hush affair. Nigerian singer, Goldie jetted into Nairobi on Saturday night and was received by on-screen lover Prezzo and fellow reality show housemate Millicent Mugadi.
Goldie’s arrival was kept secret from the press. Reportedly when Goldie landed at JKIA she hugged Millicent and sprinted towards Prezzo who was standing a stone’s throw away from the arrivals area and also hugged him.

Did Alex Find Love Or a Replacement For Weza?

Well I didn’t watch former Big Brother Africa housemate, Alex ‘Bomaye’ Biney’s reality TV series, ‘I am In Love with Bomaye’ which run for some months on Multi TV, so I never really knew much of the girls on the show. But after spotting Bomaye and Promzy, his eventual pick from the TV show at Sunday evening’s launch of The Konfidence Label, it appears to me that he found a perfect replacement for Angolan TV star and Big Brother Housemate, Weza Solange. Promzy bears some striking resemblance with Waza that made me to keep clicking away. While on the Big Brother show, Bomaye was entangled in a love triangle between himself, Weza and Miss P from Botswana. Meanwhile the Bomaye and promzy continue to show affection for each other in public, and insist that they will get married soon. Bomaye recently told Yaw Sakyi on The Rundown show that he has been abstaining from sex for over 5 years and that he will only break the celibacy once married. Promzy also said on the show that there would be no sex until marriage. HMMMM!!!!

Zeus’ Rounds Off SA Circuit

Botswana’s Channel O video awards nominee, Game ‘Zeus’ Bantsi rounds off his South Africa tour this week with media interviews in the neighbouring country as he continues his campaign to promote his music outside Botswana.
 The Hip-Hop star returns home later in the week to feature in this weekend’s Spring Explosion. Zeus performed at events in Pretoria on Wednesday and Johannesburg on Sunday. The award-winning musician is out to use his recent Channel O nomination, the fourth in his career, to broaden his external fan base.

He has been nominated for the prestigious Channel O Awards that are set for November 17 at the Walter Sisulu Square in Johannesburg. Zeus, a 2011 Big Brother Africa (BBA) contestant, is in the running for the Most Gifted African: South video award courtesy of his song titled Dancing Shoes.
He is vying for the accolade alongside South Africa’s HHP for his hit single, Bosso Ke Mang. But for now, Zeus will focus on promoting his music in the neighbouring country. The Hip-hop ace’s manager, Tshepo ‘Rox’ Sikwane revealed that their promotional expedition was well on course.
“We are trying to keep him there more often. We need to get into the South African market because the Botswana market is quite small looking at the population.” He said the nomination was heartening considering that it was Zeus’ first Dance project.
Interestingly, the Dancing Shoes project was merely a pilot dance music venture for Botswana’s Hip Hop pin up.

“This is an encouragement as we did a genre which was not known. As we look back, we do believe Zeus has done well for himself. It was a success and we look forward to the awards and hope Batswana will support him,” he told Showbiz. Zeus, a one-time Channel O award winner, is the only Botswana nominee in the 14 categories at the ninth edition of the awards.
Since the inception of the awards, Batswana artists, Mista Doe, Acid, Scar and Zeus, have had the privilege of bringing home some awards for their respective music videos. Meanwhile, Zeus’ collaboration with Malawi’s Lomwe Double Wowza is getting airplay on Channel O. The duo have also released three radio singles while the whole project will be available for download on an upcoming Double Wowza website.
Lomwe says he is happy for Zeus’ nomination and believes his associate deserves the recognition. To vote for Zeus send a text message of his code (11D) to +27839208406 or other social sites MXit and Facebook.
