I read recently that R&B diva and my second all time favourite songstress (the first being Whitney Houston), Beyonce Knowles is 32 years old . Supposedly born September 4, 1974 and not September 4, 1981 like she we all think. Is there any truth in this? Many websites and blogs have been carrying this disturbing news. A particular celeb gossip site called MediaTakeOut.com claimed to have a document from the Texas Department of Health proving that Beyonce was born in 1974. Later, somebody from that same department said the authenticity of that document could not be ascertained, that the document wasnt an official birth record. But those who started this rumour are insisting that the document looks 'very real'. But I know from reading her biogragraphy that beyonce attended the visual and Performing Arts in Houston, Texas between 1997-2000. If she was born in 1974, does that mean she attended high school from age 23years to 26years? Is that possible people? Is she that dumb? Does it also mean that she was 23 when she appeared in the first Destiny's Child video, no no no in 1997? She was 23 and the other girls were 16, 17 and 18?

Linda says go tell that to the marines. Our girl Beyonce can never be 32, she doesn't look it, doesn't act it and definitely isn't it. So shove the 'real' document up your asses mediatakeout.com (pardon the porn). If Beyonce is 32, then I guess Kelly Rowland is 33? Just because the girl has achieved so much in her very young life, they are assuming she faked her age? A twenty five year old can't achieve world success and win all those awards?

If Beyonce is 32, then I guess Britney Spears is 31. Or what do you guys think?

I don't think anyone was as surprised as I was to hear that Kanu was nominated for the 2006 African Footballer of the Year Award scheduled to hold in January 2007 in Abuja, Nigeria. Common people...this guy had been written off some years ago. People had referred to him as 'tired leg', said he had nothing more to offer and advised him to retire, and now he is being nomited for the best leg in Africa? That is astounding.





There's a saying that you can't keep a good man down. I guess kanu is a good example of that. From being in a club relegated to 2nd division to being one of the highest goal scorers in the English premiership. 8 goals so far in one season and still counting. His current club, Portsmouth, signed him on for just a year. I guess they were a bit skeptical about his relevance to their club, now I hear they want to renew his contract. But why am I surprised? This is Kanu Nwankwo we're talking about; the same guy who made that magic at the 1996 under 23 world cup. The guy is a phenomenon and deserves to be nominated even if he does not win. He's won it twice already.

The best part for me about Kanu is not his talent as a footballer, the best part is his kindheartedness. He's helped hundreds of children through his Kanu Heart Foundation. I guess God never forgets those who help his children. If you're good, God will bless you in more ways than you can imagine. May God continue to bless him and everyone of us. Amen
