It obviously seems the rumours making round about Funke Akindele (aka Jenifa) dating Femi Adebayo will in no way ever end, at least not sooner. Honestly, l don’t know. What however, i can tell u peeps here is that the star actress is not pregnant for the married actor as it was reported last week.

In a recent chat, the star actress says she is not in anyway pregnant for Femi. ‘I don’t know where the rumour started from. I am not pregnant as you can see', Funke stated.

'Femi is just a friend and colleague. Those behind the rumour are malicious and wicked. This is work of detractors and I shall not be swayed’.

Funke, who recently returned from South Africa alongside other Glo ambassadors where they went to shoot television commercials for the telecommunication giant, recently took delivery of a Toyota Xtera SUV. She has been cruising around town with it. ‘It is reward for my hard work’, she says.

The battle for the presidency of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) is getting more interesting by the day as more gladiators have thrown their hat into the ring.

Two stalwarts of the guild, last week, shown serious interest in running for the presidency of the association. Emeka Rollas, the man who contested against Ejike Asiegbu during the last election has declared his intention and Segun Arinze, the man many people refer to as Black Arrow, is said to be seriously considering contesting as well.

Emeka Ike, who declared his intension to contest to close associates earlier would now be challenging Rollas whom he openly campaigned for, supported and partly sponsored in the last election. This is a classic example of brothers turning against each other....lol

Segun Arinze, who has never been known to romance politics, is said to be consulting widely after some friends mounted the idea of contesting to him. As it is now, the battle is between the three known contestants. But insiders allege that Kanayo O. Kanayo is also nursing a political ambition. If he eventually declares his intention, the cat and mouse game would have been over on who becomes the next president of the Guild.

However, as things stand, Segun Arinze enjoys the overwhelming support of members because of his hard-line stance on issues and professionalism. Emeka Ike is also not a push over and the younger elements are routing for him while Emeka Rollas has a Herculean task of battling the two heavyweights on hand

Meanwhile Ejike Asiegbu, the embattled former president has been suspended after loyalists of KOK routed him from the secretariat. He was suspended on Tuesday for what some people call anti-guild activity.

The prolific artist, musician, writer and producer will be jetting into Nairobi, Kenya to take command of the stage at the MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain on 10 October 2009, bringing his legendary showmanship, outrageous sense of humour and infinite enthusiasm to the Indoor Arena of the Moi International Sports Complex.

As well as presiding over the hottest contemporary music talent from across the African continent, including Kenya’s Wahu, Nigeria’s M.I., South Africa’s Lira and Ghana’s Samini, Jean will perform live at the awards.

Haitian-born Jean is no stranger to the music awards scene, he has won and been nominated for multiple awards in his distinguished career including Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, the BRITS and the BET Awards. His credentials for hosting the show are impeccable – having hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards in Stockholm, Sweden in 2000 and the MTV Australia Music Awards in 2008, this gig is a perfect match for the “ecleftic” Mr Jean.

A 20-year veteran of the music industry, Wyclef Jean first found fame with hip hop pioneers The Fugees before launching a hugely successful solo career as artist, performer and producer. The platinum selling artist, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide in his career with The Fugees and as a solo artist, has recently announced plans to release his seventh album, entitled wyclefjean, in early 2010.

“The Prodigal Son is returning home!!! Anything can happen!!!” – Wyclef Jean.

Wyclef follows in the footsteps of renowned BBC broadcaster and DJ Trevor Nelson who hosted the first annual MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain in Abuja, Nigeria in 2008.

The MTV Africa Music Awards with Zain was created in 2008 to celebrate the best African contemporary music. The second annual awards will take place at the Indoor Arena, Moi International Sports Complex, Nairobi, Kenya on 10 October 2009.

Following the resolutions adopted at a recent world press conference in Lagos, the coalition of major associations in the Nigerian music industry would soon begin the mobilization of stakeholders throughout the country for the commencement of an indefinite mass hunger strike.
The strike is aimed at drawing the attention of the world to the intolerable amount of piracy currently devastating the music industry in Nigeria. The mass hunger strike has been scheduled to commence on August 25.

Gathered that as a prelude to the strike, there will be a rally of stakeholders in the Nigerian music industry at the National Theatre, Lagos, at 10.00am on the D-day. The rally will offer an opportunity to artistes and investors across the industry to network and devise strategies to frontally attack the piracy scourge that is plundering the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The coalition in its press release signed by Mr. Efe Omorogbe, further resolved that a powerful delegation of industry stakeholders will proceed to the National Assembly in Abuja on September 1, to express the frustration of the industry, over the lukewarm and ineffective attitude of the government to attacking the piracy cancer that is fast eating away the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of Nigerians and destroying the nation’s image.

The coalition is also requesting all broadcast organizations in the country to show solidarity with the plight of the Nigerian entertainment industry by observing September 1, 2009, as “No Music Day”. Broadcasting stations across Nigeria, are requested not to broadcast music between the hours of 6 am and 6 pm on September 1. Artistes across the country are also requested not to engage in any musical performance on the above date.
