LETTER TO THE INDUSTRY… PEACE, BE STILL_Mark 4:39

Every birth brings to every household good tidings and blessings. You and I brought joy on this plane and are blessings onto our folks and the universe as a whole.
The instance i set eyes on MAJESTY, calm and peace went up my spine, his cries were distinct with words saying "make peace daddy" I have struggled with this message for a while and prayed over it. Anytime i held him in my arms those are the words that resounds in my soul.

I have been through a lot and thankful to the lord for all my trials and tribulations. He made me strong and has always won victory for me in the face of adversity. He's kept his promise and has never disgraced me. He has in many ways spoken to me and I have listened. He's spoken to me again and I humbly oblige.

By this piece I am calling for a suspension of hostilities in our industry and would like to ask for pardon if by my actions or inactions caused grief to all industry persons.
My code of belief has always been to wrestle against sinister motives and overcome hurdles in our industry that seeks to pull down and impoverish the ghanaian artiste and the industry as a whole.

I mean well and hold on to my philosophy, I believe all in the industry shares the same vision and ask we joinforces to wrestle our demons to see our industry thrive for posterity.
Apologies to my brother Samini and his family, to Mr. Ayoade and the staff of charterhouse and GhOne, to every journalist, blogger, media house, presenter and my colleague artistes I may have stepped on.

Lately there's been an external attempt to start a feud between me and my younger brother Stonebwoy, but we are above it. Let's bust a tune fi dem, I say to my young brother.
To my brother Samini, I say we owe the world a collaboration and a worldwide Peace Tour.

I hope my message will not be misread and misconstrued. I am not asking Charterhouse to withdraw their case against me or sought after awards and also not seeking to win the media over. Thank you.

I am carrying out the highest order as a servant of God onto mankind.

God bless Ghana and our entertainment industry. Let's get together and forge ahead.

Chris Hemsworth's abs leave Christina Applegate in awe

 Actress Christina Applegate admits to being "in awe" of actor Chris Hemsworth's abs. Hemsworth strips down to his underwear for a performance in the new comedy "Vacation". And although the scene garnered lots of laughs from movie-goers, the film's star, Applegate, says Hemsworth's physique is no laughing matter. "It didn't make me laugh because we were just in awe of his abs," Applegate told people.com of filming the scene. "It got quiet on the set there for awhile." Applegate, 43, says she remains mystified as to how Hemsworth was able to get into such great shape. "He said, 'I don't really do anything, I just surf,' and I'm like 'that is not from surfing guy. You don't want to give us your secrets? That is not okay'."

"Thank you Shekhar (Ravjiani)! It is a brilliant script... I can't wait to play haseena," Sonakshi, 28, posted on Twitter after the music composer Shekhar congratulated the actress for her new outing.

Dawood has two sisters -- Haseena Parkar and Saeeda Parkar. Haseena, who was known as the underworld queen, used to stay with her son Alishah and a 21-year-old-daughter in Mumbai's Nagpada. At the age of 55, she passed away last year after suffering a massive heart attack.

She was the seventh child in a family of 12 kids. Her father, Mohammed Ibrahim, was a police head constable in Mumbai crime branch.

This is not the first time Sonakshi, who is currently busy with her stint in "Indian Idol Junior", will be starring in an underworld film. She had played Dawood's love interest in "Once Upon ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara!", which was said to be based on the life of the fugitive don.

"Haseena" will go on floors from next year.

No big effort: Sofia Vergara on make-up

Actress Sofia Vergara says she doesn't leave her house without make-up.

The 43-year-old, who is engaged to actor Joe Manganiello, says applying cosmetics is "no big effort" and is an essential part of her daily routine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Part of being Latin is really putting ourselves together. For example, I don't like leaving the house without lipstick, some blusher or mascara. For me, putting on make-up is like brushing my teeth. It's no big effort,” Vergara told Closer magazine.

The “Modern Family” actress says she has started taking more care of herself as she has gotten older.

“My beauty regime has changed since I turned 40. I use suntan lotion whenever I go out. I wish I'd done that religiously in my younger years because I believe prevention is always better than cure. Once you have a sagging neck, that's it.

"I have to watch my diet, too. A year ago, I started making juices with vegetables for a healthy meal option. I also have a huge problem with desserts and cake,” she said.

Bollywood stars who appeared in music videos before films

Music videos have launched a thousand stars. From Deepika Padukone to Riya Sen, meet the actors who started their careers on a musical note before Bollywood came calling

How often do you find yourself humming to a tune from an indie music album? It might be rare to do so today, but if you are a ’90s kid, you probably still cherish the memory of listening to Palash Sen and his band’s euphoric tunes.

There was also pop singer Alisha Chinai’s Made in India, which set the nation’s collective pulse soaring. The bestselling album was noteworthy for reasons other than the money it raked in and its anthemic tunes. It also, very memorably, introduced Milind Soman.

Naomi Campbell guilty of eye-scratch

The super-model given 6-month prison sentence for scratching eye of paparazzo

Naomi Campbell, 45, has been convicted in a 2009 paparazzo assault case and given six months suspended prison sentence by a Sicilian court. The model’s attorney Guido Carlo Alleva said that they would appeal the ruling, but refused to say more citing the ongoing legal process, an online entertainment daily reported.

According to reports, the incident had occurred when the photographer, Gaetano Di Giovanni, was clicking her with then-boyfriend and Russian billionaire Vladimir Doronin. Campbell hit the photographer with her purse and ended up scratching his eye.

Though Campbell’s attorneys had settled the matter and the photographer had withdrawn the charges, prosecutor Francesco Massara had ordered the trial to go ahead in public interest due to the intensity of the charges.\

She was stepping out of a car as she made her way to the Hamptons when a sudden gust of wind caused a shirt tied around her waist to lift up and expose her bottom, reports mirror.co.uk.

The 'Bootylicious' hitmaker remained composed as she pulled down her top and continued to make her way across the heliport.

Beyonce showed off her legs in what appeared to be a black leotard and nude fishnet tights.

The 'Single ladies' singer was making her way to the Hamptons with her husband Jay Z and their three-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
