According to a report by National Enquirer, friends of the A-list couple fear they won't make it through the holidays. Well, it's according to National Enquirer, so there's probably no cause for alarm.

He’s been caught with a hot young blonde, she’s been seen without her wedding ring – and now friends fear this will be Will and Jada’s last Christmas together! “Will and Jada are trying to put on a good front in public, but behind the scenes, they’re having major troubles,” said a source close to the couple, whose 16th wedding anniversary is Dec. 31. “If this marriage lasts beyond the holidays, it will be a miracle.”
But the source says Will is desperate to avoid a divorce. “Will has more to lose since he was the major breadwinner and they’d likely have to split things in half,” explained the source. Will has also previously stated that “divorce just can’t be an option.” Meanwhile Jada just doesn’t feel that she has as much reason to stay married. “She’s telling friends that she’s thinking of filing for divorce and having a Happy New Year – without Will!”

Beautiful and curvaceous Nollywood actress and singer, Anita Joseph renowned for her controversial nature is back in the news. This time around she is not raising the dust about anybody but herself, particularly about her body overly serrated with tattoos.
In a chat with WG Anita revealed she is frustrated with her tattoos, crying “ I regret my tattoos. It is something I wish I never had” she said “ it’s so addictive. You do one, you would do again and again.
Anita said she has tattoos in six parts of her body: back of her palm, waist, top of her boobs, left leg, neck and arm. When asked if the tattoos connote anything or mean anything to her, she replied “Not necessarily, I just loved tattoos. But that was when I haven’t grown up and never knew it’s wrong in God’s sight” Untypical of Anita Joseph you would say, but the talented actress actually confirmed she is a born-again Christian now and added she has now realised “tattoos are unsightly before God”, even quoting the Bible to back her position.
She said she wished people who are yearning to do so would desist from the sinful act, saying she is ready to clean hers out. Her desire to speak out against this trend (tattoos) which is most common among entertainers is born out of an encounter with a fan, whom Anita said told her she wanted to have tattoos as Anita’s because she sees Anita as her mentor and woulddo anything Anita does. “ She said I love everything about you and so whatever you do I want to do. I begged her not to have tattoos because tattoos are addictive. She was happy and thanked me for telling the truth. At the end of the day, I was happy I touched someone positively.
That told me that whatever I do, someone, somewhere wants to do it, so now I am careful of what I do now” she said. On her work, she said movies have taken over her time to produce music but said her fans should expect release of her album soon

Top actress, Hilda Dokubo, is back in love again with her estranged husband, Karos Mrakpor – after years of living apart. The re-united couple shared the goods news with some friends recently in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, where Hilda is doing well as a member of Pastor David Ibiyeomie’s Salvation Ministries. Hilda and Karos had parted ways acrimoniously some years back. In fact, it was so bad then that both of them settled for new partners. Karos even went on to marry another lady who bore him a child. Allegations and counter allegations of ‘jazz’ had trailed the solemnization of the new union until its collapse.
Hilda Nwachinemereogo Dokubo is one of those that started what the world is celebrating today as Nollywood. Obviously in her late 40s, her parents are Benibo and Stella Edmund. The dad was from Buguma, Rivers State and her mother, Umuahia, Abia State. She attended Breadfruit International School, London, St. Mary’s State School, Port-Harcourt, Government Girls Secondary School, Port-Harcourt (where she started acting) and the University of Port-Harcourt where she eventually read Theatre Arts.
She was also at the Royal College of Arts, London where she bagged a PGD in Dance and Choreography. Always remembered for her roles as Nengi and Urenma in Goodbye Tomorrow and Forever respectively, she has indeed come a long way. Now based in Port-Harcourt, where she first struck gold working for former Governor Peter Odili, her back-in-her-life husband, Akarose Mrakpor is Urhobo, from Otu-Jeremi, Delta State. They met at UNIPORT in 1986, but got married many years later. The marriage later failed – but now they are back again. Hilda and Karos have one son, Tuvi. But before then, Hilda had had a boy, Isosia, who is said to be in the university now.

I cant even imagine how Funke Akindele will feel about this, just imagining their wedding day….it really hurts, any ways like most people will say, its life. just a few months after the split politician Kehinde Oloyede seems to have settled down properly with one of his second wives.
He recently sent a birthday shout out to his second wife on facebook and indirectly dissed Funke Akindele by referring to her as "not being wonderful".
posting the photos below with the caption ‘Happy birthday to a wonderful wife, I wish you long life and prosperity in good health. Thank you for being there always, even when I go off track. Onisuru lo jogun ohun gbogbo.’

Model and ex-Big Brother Africa winner, Karen Igho tells Ademola Olonilua about her fashion and style
Do you wear your natural hair at all?
I’d rather rock my natural hair than weaves . Natural hair is easier to maintain than weaves and it is more convenient.
But do you have a favourite hairstyle?
I love braiding my hair. Braids are versatile and can be packed or styled in different ways. It’s also cheaper than weaves and easier to maintain. There is no stress to it at all. There are no bad hair days with braids. I can roll out of the bed and go out with my braids without doing anything to it. That is impossible with weaves.
Does it cost you so much to braid your hair?
It depends on the hair style and the hairdresser. Braids don’t cost as much as weaves. I won’t put a price to it but I spend enough to look good. No ridiculous amounts though because I don’t wear any hairstyle for long.
How often do you visit a salon?
I visit the salon every week. The nature of my job as a showbiz personality does not give me the luxury of keeping hair for any time longer than a week.
How long does it take to make your hair?
It depends on whether it’s braids or weaves. Weave is a maximum of two hours but braids can take as long as a whole day, depending on the length.
Do you feel incomplete without your make-up on?
I love looking natural. I always prefer natural look or light make-up over the heavy ones. I can do with or without makeup. I don’t feel like anything is missing without it.
You really love tattoos.
Yes I’m a tattoo lover and I have a number of them.
Do you think they are fashionable and do they have a meaning?
As I said earlier, I have a number of tattoos, so I must think highly of them. Yes they have meanings. Meanings I won’t go into because my tattoos are my private life.
Do you patronise Nigerian designers?
I buy both foreign and Nigerian labels. I don’t favour any over the other. It all depends on the occasion and the designs readily available at the time the need arises for them. And then again, our Nigerian designers are very talented and have taken fashion to a whole new level. A lot of our Nigerian designers are now recognised at international level and make clothes of the same quality. So, why won’t I patronise them? I am a proudly Nigerian babe and I always identify with my own.
To you, is there a clear cut difference between fashion and style?
I believe your style is your fashion. It all depends on how you combine the things you want to wear and matching the right colours and outfits for the right occasion. As for me, I always ensure I wear the dresses; the dresses don’t wear me.
What influences your fashion trend?
I really don’t know. I honestly don’t have anything I can pinpoint as an influence on my fashion trend. I know I love the good things of life and also quality things.
What is that fashion item you can’t leave home without and how did you come about it?
There’s nothing I can’t leave home without. I don’t have any ‘must have on’ fashion item, not even a make-up item. I never attach unnecessary importance to any item. Won’t I go out if I don’t have the item available in an emergency?
What’s the most expensive item you own and how much did it cost?
My most expensive possession has to be my house. Of course, I won’t say the price it costs but that is the most expensive item I have.
Do you have a fashion weakness?
Shoes! Shoes! Shoes and more shoes! I can never have enough shoes. I have a strong weakness for shoes. I own lots of shoes, a whole lot. My whole house is filled with shoes. I’ve even lost count of the number of shoes I own.
How is it competing with men in the industry?
Competing? With who? Why? See, the industry is big enough for everyone, so there is no need for any form of competition or rivalry. There is enough space for both men and women. But after all is said and done, staying relevant so far has been God.
Would you say your celebrity status scares men away from you?
It attracts and it scares men away too. It scares some because not every man can handle or understand fame. It takes a strong and understanding man to be able to be with a female celebrity. The attracting aspect comes from when they just want to be with you because they want to be able to say ‘I’ve been with Karen Igho.’ It takes God’s grace to be able to sift the chaff from the wheat.
Are you in a relationship?
I’m not in any relationship at the moment because I need to concentrate on building my career. I have a lot ahead of me. Love is unpredictable though; if my man comes along the way, then it is all well and good.
What do you admire in a man?
Confidence. If a man is decked up from head to toe in a designer label but lacks confidence, then he is lacking the most important fashion accessory of them all. Arrogance should not be confused for confidence though. There’s a very thin line and it should not be crossed.
What is your take on cleavage exposure and ladies wearing skimpy and tight dresses?
Whatever rocks anybody’s boat; anything that makes anyone happy, the person should go for it. Who am I to judge? So far they feel comfortable in the dress and they are rocking the dress properly, that is okay for them.
You recently became a British citizen, how did it happen?
Yes I did. I lived in the UK for ten years and fulfilled all other necessary requirements to make me a British citizen and I did become one.
Do you intend to leave Nigeria for UK in the near future?
No. I’m still a Nigerian citizen. I’ll forever be a Nigerian. I have Nigerian blood flowing through my veins. I still have my Nigerian passport. Nigeria is my home anytime any day, no matter how far I travel, where I travel to, how long I’m gone for, I always yearn to come back to my fatherland.
What are the challenges you face while building your brand?
It has not been easy but I thank God. We Nigerians find it easy to believe everything we hear about celebrities and some of these false stories can put a dent in anyone’s image or brand. So staying afloat of the scandals and different stories has been by the grace of God.
What are you currently working on?
I’ve been going from one set to another, shooting different movies. Also, the shoot for my reality television show will soon start. I also have a charity event I’m working on.

Although, she has had her challenging moments in the industry, Belinda Effah is one of the fast rising actresses in Nollywood whose name rings a bell in the industry. She has achieved a lot in a very short while, winning laurels and writing her name in gold as far as the world of make-believe is concerned. In this interview, she tells Showtime Celebrity what it takes to be where she’s today and why she cannot date anybody in the industry.
How has the journey been so far?
The journey so far has been wonderful. There was a time when Belinda Effah was a struggling actress, just hoping to feature in a movie. But today, the story has changed. Thanks to Royal Arts Academy owned by Emem Isong and her sister, Uduak Isong Oguamanam who featured me in their movies, “Udeme mmi” and “Kokomma.” Featuring in these movies opened a lot of doors for me. I have won a lot of awards. I’m actually on my own, and I now reject scripts . I’m not saying that I’m there yet, I’m still hoping to get better. But things are actually different today.
Was it part of the challenges you faced before hitting the limelight?
Then I was not matured as an actress, physically , emotionally and mentally. That was my build up process, the producers then knew what they wanted. They didn’t tell me I was a bad actress. They said, I had what it takes to be a good actor. But looking at me today, things are different. I have added some weights in the right places. I guess I fit into certain roles now than before. May be, they didn’t see me fitting into a particular role . Like I said earlier, I wasn’t just matured then.
*Belinda
How were you able to get the role that gave you the break?
That was after I featured in Emem Isong’s “Udeme mmi.” Her sister invited me to be part of the cast of her film, ‘Kokomma” . I read the script and I liked it because it was a very touching story. To me, every script that comes my way, gives me an opportunity to do something differently.
How many movies have you done till date?
I have done a couple of movies. I don’t keep count of the movies I have featured in. But I’m happy that I’m busy every other day. I’m one actress that like to take a break to refresh myself after I have done one or two movies, so that I can give my very best into a production. I’m always busy, I have won several awards and I’m hoping that the endorsement will start coming my way.
You seem to be eyeing endorsement by some multi-national companies?
Yes, that’s the glory of every actress that you are doing great works and people want to associate with you.
When you are on set , what’s the experience like?
I have different experiences especially when I’m working with different producers. Usually, I get fair treatment. As an actress, I have to bring my game to the table. The industry is such that we have new faces that are strong as well. To me, it is not about featuring in a movie that matters, rather it’s about making an impression on the people.
Belinda Effah was formerly described as a regional actress. At what point did you come out of that circle?
As an up and coming actor, when you are offered a role to play in a movie, you don’t really care what you are being offered. You just want to be on set. Some people will want to describe me as a regional actress. But back then it’s not as if I haven’t done a couple of English movies . After all, I started with English movies before I later featured in the two movies that brought me to the limelight.
Maybe, it could be because the producers of these films distributed them far and wide causing people to get to notice me. But the producers of my early movies did not distribute the films well and that’s why people tend to see me as a regional actor. So, it doesn’t make me a regional actor. I’d feature in both English and indigenous movies. If I can speak the language, give me a script and I will interprete it to the best of my knowledge.
How did you feel when you were announced winner of the Best rising actress in Africa at this year’s AMAA?
That I was nominated for the award was a win for me. I kept an open mindset that if I win the award it’s an additional advantage to me. I was very tensed because I checked out the profiles of everybody that was nominated in that Best Promising Actress category. Prior to my nomination, I have won GIAMA Awards, and I have also gotten a lot of recognition awards. It was like ‘let the trend keep flowing.’ I was overwhelmed when I was announced the winner. I’m grateful to Royal Arts Academy because they didn’t know me from anywhere. They saw something in me which they tried their best to harness it.
Between last year and this year, you have been on top of your game. What’s the secret?
I came into Nollywood at the right time. I joined the industry between 2005 and 2006. Then I don’t think the industry was ready for me. I was part of the Next Movie Star reality TV show and I was one of the last Housemates standing. I thought participating in that show would create a new opening for me. But it never did. For four years ,I couldn’t lay my hand on anything tangible.
At a point, I had to take up a paid job because I needed the money to fend for myself between 2006 and 2008. I came back in 2011 through the first series of “Tales of Eve.” It gave me a huge platform because a lot of people got to watch the series. That was when the industry actually called me back. A lot of people identified with the series, and since then, I have done a couple of movies.
The movie, Kokomma, got me nomination for the 2013 Africa Movie Academy Awards ( AMAA). After featuring in that movie, a lot of things started to fall in place because people started calling me for jobs. Like I said earlier, I joined Nollywood at the right time, and everything is working out fine for me.
What would you say prepared you for what you are doing today?
I have always wanted to act. I was part of a drama group in my church back then. When the opportunity presented itself, I took it with everything that I had. I could recall that I was still in school when I came on holiday in Lagos. A modelling agent saw me and wanted to use me to brand their product. Thereafter, I saw an advert on television where actors were invited to audition for the production, “Shallow Waters.” I bought the form and went for the audition. Later, I was given a minor role. My passion for acting increased, and each time, I was on holiday, I would storm Lagos to pursue my passion. So, immediately I graduated from the university, I relocated to Lagos.
What did you study in the university?
I studied Biotechnology in the university. Initially, I wanted to study medicine, but when it was not forthcoming, I switched to Biotechnology . But at the back of my mind, it has always been the art. I have always wanted to be an actress right from when I was younger. Then, I always wanted to do something with the choir department of my church. So, when the opportunity came, I just went for it.
What are you doing to stay on top of your game!
As an actor, the best thing you can do for yourself is to keep improving on your skill. There are people you look up to. For me, I have several mentors; Genevieve Nnaji, Majid Mitchel and Uche Jombo. I pick one or two things from them in terms of acting, packaging and business sense and try to make it Belinda. I don’t copy anybody but if there is need for me to watch a particular scene in a movie in order to perfect my act, I will do so. Also, in terms of business, one needs to know what these star actors are doing. That’s basically what’s keeping me going.
Have you played a love scene in a movie before now?
Yes, I have played love scenes before now. I played love scenes with Alex Ekubo and Majid Mitchel who molested me in the movie I featured with him. I also played love scene with Kanayo O Kanayo.
Each time, you are playing the love scene, what actually come to your mind?
I am an actor and I have to be professional in my acting.
Some actors would tell you that while playing love scenes, their emotions usually come to play?
But mine never come to play because I become the character that I’m playing. I get involved in the character and when I’m through with the role, I return to myself again.
Have you been faced with a situation where you have to reject the person you are paired in a movie?
I hope to get to that stage where I would make a choice. But don’t think any Actor has the liberty yet to reject whoever he or she is paired up with. Otherwise you have to give your reasons for rejecting the actor; whether he or she is a bad actor or the person has a body odour. So far, I have not been paired up with someone I considered as a bad actor or one who has a body odour.
You must have faced some temptation while on set ?
I always keep it professional whether it’s white collar job or not. I don’t want a situation where I would be uncomfortable on set simply because I have dated one person or the other. I respect myself and I respect everybody. Even if I’m tempted, I try to keep it professional.
Have you had such a request before?
Of course, we are all human beings. I am a good looking lady and a role model to many ladies out there. I’m not acting because I want to act. I have a desire to affect people’s lives positively. Leadership is in service. I don’t want to mess up my reputation now because I am working on a project called “Belinda Advocacy Against Rape.”I have a reputation to protect. I have a lot of things in the offing. If one is tempted, one can easily go outside the industry to get herself a boy friend. I can’t afford to mess around in the industry.
Are you saying that you will not marry in the industry?
I didn’t say that. If I find somebody in the industry that I fall over heels in love with, why not.
How often have you had heart breaks?
My heart have been broken and I have broken other people’s hearts. So, no hard feelings. It happens all the time where you like someone and he doesn’t like you. That does not mean there is no true love.
Have you found true love?
You will get to find out very soon.
What do you like in man?
I like a God fearing man, and one who is down to earth

Tonto is known for dating very classy and wealthy people, some might say she’s a gold digger but if you look at it critically that’s how its meant to be. She’s a Nigerian superstar, she’s not meant to go below her standards.
Tonto Dikeh is reportedly now dating the CEO Malivelihood, Micheal Awolaja. In case you didn’t know, Micheal Awolaja is the guy behind all Tonto’s customized Diamond iPhones, Rolex and more.
According to Celebrity blogger, Emeh Achanga:
“Tonight, Tonto Dikeh walked into the ELOY Awards venue with two handsome men by her side. Sexy Steel & Micheal. When she won her award for best actress, she thanked her fans and got everyone saying aw when she said “I’ll also like to thank my boyfriend” pointing at him.
When I followed the couple outside to confirm this, Tonto said:
“I’m gonna sue someone if this story is put up. You don’t know if it’s true or not. I just said he’s my boyfriend but you don’t know if he’s actually my boyfriend or my friend. Besides I might have a husband at home and he might be pissed off if he reads this. That’s how all you bloggers go around putting fake stories that might not be accurate. Make sure you get your stories straight.
Blushing and laughing, Micheal jokingly said “I’m gonna sue you for this”.
Check out some of the expensive gifts that Tonto has gotten from her super rich boyfriend in recent times.
