He further sought for ways of getting the imposter profiles off Facebook and finally succeeded at it with the shutting down of one of the fake profiles.

Pat had this to say after the shutdown: “One of the fake profiles has been taken down, but one of them is still alive. Here’s the link to the remaining fake profile.” Before reading this however, it may as well have been taken down too.

In a joint interview with Elle mag, she said: "I've never met a girl who can have sex without an ounce of feeling." Stunning Mila broke up with Macaulay Culkin a few years ago after an eight-year romance but admitted her parents "don't think I've ever had sex".

Eazzy Looking For Love

At 24 Ghana’s hottest hi-hop and R&B female artiste, Eazzy Baby is yet to grab a lover and she has told news-one she has now decided to look for a man to warm her bed at night. Eazzy, popular for her two hit songs-‘Wengeze’ and ‘Bo Wonsem Ma Me’-said she has remained lonely for the past two years and concentrated on her music career. She said though she ahs dated before, she decided to take a long break to build her career before having another relationship. She however fell short of explaining if not having a man in her life for the past two years meant that she had abstained from sex during the period. “Very soon, I will be two years in the industry. That would be this July. So hopefully after my second year, I can give a chance to someone to start a relationship with me and possibly get married….I am single for now, Ha..Ha. I am not married, and not going out,” Eazzy revealed. This is July, the month Eazzy set as a deadline to start looking for love, so he should have either started searching for her dream man or has already grabbed one. The artiste’s love life has attracted a lot of media reports as Ghanaian paparazzi speculated endlessly on who she might be dating. There was a time she had to publicly deny that she was in a love relationship with Black Stars player Dede Ayew. She admitted they were the best of friends but denied they were having a love affair or romantic relationship. “Oh Dede is one of my celebrity friends just like Tinny, Tic Tac or others,” Eazzy explained. There were reports that she got married to record label mate Richie, after pictures of their supposed wedding were released on the internet a couple of months ago. However, it turned to be photos of a music video the two were shooting together. Speaking on her career, Eazzy said: “there is a new album coming up called ‘Zero’. We featured almost every artiste you can find in Ghana…Zero means Ziggy, Eazzy, Richie and O.J Blaq. We are the main squad for Lynx Entertainment, so we take our first initials to mean back to Zero meaning back to Ziggy, Eazzy, Richie and O.J” She also added she was unhappy about losing label mates Asem, Irene and others: “Of course, I am not happy about it. I wish things had gone the other way round but then again we are trying very hard to cope. I like the fact that apart from the fact that they are not on the label anymore, they are still friends. We still talk to each other. We still keep in touch and together on BB and when we see each other we are like a family. Yes working relationship is not going on anymore but we are still a family.” Aside the Zero project coming from Lynx, Eazzy said she was personally coming out with a single and it would drop by December this year. She is also working on a collaboration project with Nigerian hip hop princess Mo’cheddah. “Hopefully this is going to be a stepping stone to invade Nigeria’s make dominated industry just like we have here in Ghana,” she said. Eazzy wasn’t too happy about Ghana’s music industry. She said it wasn’t easy at all. “Trust me; it is when you are outside that you think everything is rosy and smooth. But there are a lot of ups and downs. The system is funny and there is a lot shady stuff going on in it but somehow, one way or the other, with good management, it can get better. We are getting three but it is not easy,” she added. Eazzy is a Ga from Accra. She comes from a family of four-her younger brother, mother, dad and herself. She describes herself as a fun loving person. “I am down to earth person. I have my own fun. I enjoy my own privacy and I also have passion for music,” she told News-one. One advantage Eazzy has over her contemporaries is her extraordinary ability to dance I addition to rapping and singing at the same time. News-one’s checks revealed that after Mfantiman, Eazzy attended the Institute of Professional Studies in Ghana, before going to the Chartered Institute of Marketing in England.

Venus Films pardons Yvonne. Will the Film Producers Association follow suit?

It has taken Yvonne Nelson too long to apologize to the film producers Association of Ghana for the reason that, the film producers did not issue any official letter to her that she was banned. Many people are still baffled as to why she has come out at this stage to apologize since she said she had not been banned.
At the time she was granting interviews to media that she has not been banned, Yvonne had already sent official apology to the C.E.O of Venus films Abdul Salam that she knew she had wronged him for not completing the shoot of “4Play Reloaded.”
According to Abdul Salam Mumuni, when Yvonne came to apologize during the early stage of the brouhaha, he advised her to go and apologize to FIPAG through the media which she declined.
All things being equal Abdul Salam has finally announced to the general public that he and the entire Venus Films team have officially forgiven Yvonne Nelson and soon as the film producers lift her ban. He will use her in his new movie titled “The Assassins” which will feature other movie stars and some new faces in the industry.

Ato Kwamena Dadzie Divorces Wife

Ato Kwamena Dadzie, news editor of Joy FM, has divorced his beloved wife despite the biblical admonition in Mark 10:7-9 that “a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” The marriage lasted some three years and details of the divorce are still sketchy. News-One gathered however that for close to year now, Ato and his wife had constant misunderstandings over who should play what role at home and which of them had the final say. Ato, aside being a journalist, is an author and a satirist with a hallmark of humor and wit.

Though he has not passed public comments on the divorce, he has changed his status on his Facebook page from married to divorce and has written what seems like a confirmation on his official blog.“I have heard most, if not all, of the rumours about my marriage. Some just made me shake my head. Most others made me laugh. I enjoyed them all. But it’s time to end the rumours and announce to the world formally that my marriage of three years has broken up. I would love to spill the beans and speak openly about how it came to this. But for very good reasons, I can’t. For now, all I can say is that marriage has been one of the few ventures in my life that I committed and dedicated everything I had to. I gave it my all and I did everything I humanely could to make it work. It just wouldn’t work,” Ato wrote on his blog. He continued by saying, “So both of us decided that we were better off going our separate ways for, as Lucky Dube said, it is ‘better to be alone and be happy than be with someone and be unhappy.

The premiere of Somewhere In Africa is just like my birthday and I just can't wait for the day” he said. He also added that although he has won many awards, he believes somewhere in Africa will win him more awards. “I will definitely win the best actor in Africa awards with this movie because I did my very best in it,” he added. Somewhere in Africa is a story of Geode, a cry of Africans, the cries of humanity, the effects and defects of military government with soldiers everywhere with foolish wars to fight, the tears of abuse, some of it factual, most of it fiction but all of it are true and frequent happenings in Africa.

Rihanna: Men Are Hunters

RIHANNA has compared men to hunters. And she's not on about the Hunter from Gladiators who used to date Ulrika Jonsson. The Bajan singer believes blokes love to chase women, which is why she likes to keep her admirers on their toes. Rihanna said: "I'm open to love. But guys should have to earn it because, the minute they get it, they want something else."Men are like hunters, they like the chase, so you have to keep 'em guessing. I'm like that too. I get bored fast. So if someone can make me laugh, that's the best." Chancers dreaming of having a crack at her when she comes to the UK this summer better stock up on whoopee cushions then. But the singer, headlining V Festival in August, is also open to more serious blokes.

She said: "I'm turned on by different things. It could be the way he looks. It could be his intelligence. It's really a spontaneous thing."But her hordes of male fans should know that, if they do achieve the impossible and bag a date, it'll be hard if they're not in the music business. She told Cosmopolitan mag: "It can be intimidating to guys to date someone in this industry. "It's really hard to find a guy who doesn't care about that stuff. Right now, it's easier just having my career to focus on."Any man would struggle having a relationship with Rihanna while she's on her Loud Tour. When not performing the singer gets on the sauce and parties with her mates.Following her gig in Las Vegas last Saturday she opted against putting her feet in a tub of hot water at her hotel in favour of hosting an afterparty at Club Nikki. One man who is having a go is rapper and ex-boyfriend DRAKE. He joined Rihanna on the Canadian leg of her tour and enjoyed a few nights out on his home turf. She has denied they are in a relationship, despite flirty pics of them surfacing online. Keeping him on his toes, see.

Nollywood And Ghallywood Settle Rift

Recall that the fight between Ghanaian movie industry, christened Ghallywood and Nigerian movie industry Nollywood made headlines last year. It was the battle of work permit fees, and the cost of it in these two countries. However, we gathered from reliable sources among Nollywood stakeholders that all the rift created last year between the two movie industries have been settled. According to the information, top Nigerian movie producers like Madu C. Chikwendu, directors, Actors Guild of Nigeria,AGN President,Segun Arinze and top Ghanaian actors who have turned regular faces in Nigerian movies,Van Vicker and Majid Michel had a round table discussion in Nigeria and came to the conclusion that Ghanaian actors and actresses will not again be taxed or chased around in various movie locations as a result of unpaid work permits. Nigeriafilms.com was equally informed that Nollywood stakeholders had a meeting with Ghanaian foreign affairs, where it was candidly stated that Nollywood is exempted from work permit fees. As revealed, all Nigerians who are doing business or own business outfits in Ghana are expected to get their work permit before engaging in such activities, while Nigerian actors,actresses,producers and directors who wish to work in Ghana are free, as nobody will impose any fees on them. It could be recalled that Ghanaian government last year passed a bill that requires all foreigners to purchase a work permit of $200 dollars to $1000 dollars, depending on the type of business venture. As the bills did not exclude any kind of business, Nigerian film makers who find delight in working task Ghana were asked to pay their work permit of $200 dollars or no deal. This actually created a tussle between the two movie industries, as AGN created task force to hunt and harass all Ghanaian actors and actresses who work in Nollywood,to pay different amounts of money in the name of working permit.
