Been doing nothing but blogging all weekend. See how much I love you all? lol! Today, I'm giving you Naija Entertainment News courtesy City People Magazine. I just realised that most of the entertainment news I reproduce on this blog is usually from Encomium magazine, so decided to get a copy of City People, which is one of Nigeria's leading soft sell magazines.
Enjoy!

Chinedu Ikedieze's embarrassing moment
Just when Chinedu is coming to terms with his broken relationship with his former fiancee, he was flanked by fans at an event on the island and like the super star that he is, he tried to satisfy everyone with a handshake. In the process, one of the ladies ignorantly proclaimed her undying love for him but was disappointed when she heard that he was married. Chinedu who was both surprised and embarrassed at the comment just starred at her in shock, probably wondering when he walked down the aisle without knowing it. lol!
Impersonators feed on Nollywood
Some scammers are really feeding fat by impesonating actors and actresses. Some artist who have one time or the other been impersonated are Genevieve Nnaji who had her head placed on the body of a naked woman on the internet. Empress Njamah, whose phone was stolen and used in sending text messages to people for monetary demands. Ini Edo had a similar case while Nonso Diobi's own is that he is begging for assistance from the press.
