Nigerian Men Are Very romantic ''Eku Edewor''

Nigerian men clap for yourselves.Tv presenter Eku Edewor in an interview with Punch declared Nigerian men are actually romantic and for those who are not, she has some tips for you

The Nigerian men I have dated have been very romantic; I guess it depends on the type of man one attracts and also what one deems romantic. Know whom you’re with, some guys don’t want to say cheesy things and look into your eyes but they will always make sure your happiness comes first. Not everything has to be a large “romantic” gesture. Romance has to do with being selfless. Simple things like, choosing to stay with your girlfriend all weekend watching movies instead of being at the clubs all weekend with the boys is romantic; others are sending flowers for no reason at all, surprise dinners, heartfelt messages. If your partner really knows you and loves you, he’ll find ways to be romantic and find ways to make you happy. I actually find Nigerian guys far more active and good when it comes to making large romantic statements. A tip to guys, flowers always makes women happy, even if they say they don’t love flowers. They probably do and if sending chocolates with cards is what your lady wants, it really won’t hurt or take much time."

This album is Beyonce's most open yet, she doesn't hold back at all, she bares her soul & talks about everything from sex, marriage, to motherhood. In one particular track, Beyonce sings about post -pregnancy paranoia and hints at trouble in her marriage...

On the track 'Mine'ft Drake Beyonce sings,

"I’ve been watching for the signs/Took a trip to clear my mind/Now I’m even more lost/And you’re still so fine, oh my oh my/Been having conversations about breakups and separations/I’m not feeling like myself since the baby/Are we gonna even make it? Oooh/Cause if we are, we’re taking this a little too far/Me being wherever I’m at, worried about wherever you are”

Toke Makinwa confirms split from longtime boyfriend, Maje Ayida

Toke Makinwa has confirmed the end of her on-again/off-again relationship with fitness expert, Maje Ayida. In an interview with Sunday Punch, Toke confirmed she was no longer engaged to Maje

“I am not under any pressure to get married. It’s the society that puts pressure on women not minding that divorce rates are high. I was once in a long term relationship with Maje Ayida and it has come to an end. I think it’s unfair for me to speak about our relationship because he is not here to defend himself. He is an amazing guy but it was not meant to be. It’s strange being single again but I am taking it one step after the other. One of the mistakes I made in my last relationship is that we dated for a long time. They were amazing years but they were also 12 long years. When you are faithful to someone, know what you can tolerate. My Mr Right has to be God-fearing, who would not do certain things because he is God-fearing. He has to understand what I do and must not be selfish in any way”.

She also confirmed that she gets paid to attend events...see that below..

And she's done it! Khloe Kardashian files for divorce from Lamar

After months of 'will she?' 'won't she?', Khloe Kardashian has finally filed for divorce from husband of four years, Lamar Odom. She also filed court documents to restore her name, TMZ reports.

In the legal docs, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Khloe cites "irreconcilable differences."

And Khloe is asking the judge to take Odom out of her name, so she is once again simply Khloe Kardashian ... eliminating Odom from her life in every way.

And, Khloe is not asking for spousal support and wants the judge to reject any bid by Lamar for the same, TMZ reports.

Remember their fragrance Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar? Guess they are breakable after all. Sad to see these two end their marriage. Khloe is rumored to be secretly dating Rihanna's ex, Matt Kemp

Moyin Arowoshola, winner of Elite Look 2012 joins Isis Models

If you're not in or interested in the fashion/modeling scene in Nigeria, this piece of news won't interest you but it's one of the most talked about thing in the modeling industry here.

Let me break it down so you will understand why. It's like this, Agency A and Agency B are the two biggest Agencies in a country, then the winner of a competition organized by Agency A leaves the agency to join it's biggest rival, Agency B. That's scandalous, abi? Lol

18 year old Moyin Arowoshola, the winner of Elite Look 2012, organized by Beth Models Agency owned by Elohor Aisien has left the agency to join Isis Models owned by Mrs Okorodudu, who is also the organizer of a similar model context, Nigeria's Next Super Model.

Don't know why Moyin made the switch but good luck to her....

OMG! Beyonce gets explicit in new song, sings about giving Jay Z 'head'

Some people are saying this new album is Beyonce's best album yet because Queen Bey didn't hold back at all, it's quite raw and it's actually the number 1 album in 66 countries right now including the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, Russia and Japan.

Anyway, there's a song in the album titled Partition (track 6) and in the song Beyonce sings explicitly about giving Jay Z 'head' (you all know what that means..hehe) and having him cum all over her.

Beyonce sings;

Driver, roll up the partition please, I don't want you to see 'Yonce on her knees. It took 45 minutes to get all dressed up. We ain't even gonna make it to this club.
Mascara running, red lipstick smudged, Oh he's so horney yeah he wants to f*ck
He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse and Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown

Khloe Kardashian to file for divorce from Lamar today, TMZ reports

According to a report by TMZ, Khloe Kardashian's four year marriage to Lamar Odom is over as she's set to file for divorce today.

From TMZ

Sources tell us, Khloe will be citing irreconcilable differences in her legal docs. The split should be pretty cut and dry -- an ironclad prenup which kept all their assets separate ... and no kids.

As we reported, Lamar's bizarre freestyle rap video -- in which he brags about cheating on Khloe -- was the last straw in their crumbling relationship.  Immediately after TMZ posted the video last month, Khloe stopped wearing her wedding ring.

Will and Jada Smith headed for divorce?

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.

From The National Enquirer

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!”
