World Celebrities Stand For Syria, Campaign To Raise Relief Fund

Many world celebrities have stood up in unison to not just raise awareness regarding events unfolding in Syria, but to also raise fund for children who are unfortunately the most affected in the troubled region.

 Most of the celebrities are campaigning on their social media platform and pleading for assistance for the embattled kids in Syria. Below are some of their instagram posts soliciting for support and prayer for Syria.

Usher Gets Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

Considering that Usher Raymond IV released his first album at age 15, accepted his first platinum plaque from the RIAA at 19, and notched nine No. 1 singles before turning 37, it might seem counterintuitive to say that patience has been the key to his career longevity.

And yet the singer, who is set to receive a star Sept. 7 on the Walk of Fame, reflects on the importance of timing and long-game experimentation as he readies the release of his long-delayed eighth studio album, and prepares for general audiences to get a glimpse of him in his most high-profile film role yet, in Jonathan Jakubowicz’s Cannes entry “Hands of Stone.”

The film, in which Usher plays champion fighter “Sugar” Ray Leonard opposite Edgar Ramirez’s Roberto Duran, offers an intriguing step forward for Usher’s wildly varied acting resume, which ranges from such highs as playing Billy Flynn in “Chicago” on Broadway, to starring in the long-forgotten “Texas Rangers” and “In the Mix.”

“My idea of artistry has always been: try everything until you find out what works,” Usher says. “So with film, I did everything to find out who and what I represented. I acted in sitcoms, in soap operas, in teen horror. I did this one thing for ‘Twilight Zone.’ I was just trying to figure out what was out there for me.”

Viewing his ventures into film as part of a continuum, Usher notes, “People tend to focus too much on anything that might not necessarily live up to being something great. But I’m not gonna say anything I’ve been in was a failure, because it’s all a part of getting acculturated to who you are. Imagine if Laurence Fishburne stopped acting at ‘Pee-wee’s Playhouse.’ Or look at Samuel L. Jackson — he’s done everything, every type of role. You do it all until you find your place.”

For “Hands of Stone,” it was actually Usher’s skills as a dancer, rather than his filmography or resemblance to a professional fighter, that helped get him the part.

“I was auditioning lots of actors, and I wasn’t really finding anybody I was excited about,” recalls director Jakubowicz. “Then I was invited to [boxing coach] Freddie Roach’s gym in Los Angeles to watch Manny Pacquiao train. I asked Freddie if he thought there was a fighter who could play Sugar Ray Leonard. He said, ‘Listen, for Sugar Ray, you should find a dancer. He was so slick, and he had so much showmanship, that it would be easier for you teach a dancer to box than to teach a fighter to box like Sugar Ray.’ So I went home and started thinking, who’s the best dancer in the world?”

As soon as he read the script, Usher impressed the director with his seriousness — “he started doing the Ali shuffle at our first meeting,” Jakubowicz remembers — and immediately started training with amateur boxers, and working with Leonard himself for nearly a year. That training shows through in the film: Usher’s celebrity is effectively tamped down, his stadium-ready dance moves honed into lightning flurries of attack and misdirection. Variety chief film critic Owen Gleiberman called Usher’s presence “a nifty piece of casting, because the actor, with a touch of prosthetics, doesn’t just look like Leonard, he embodies his exuberant nimble-kill spirit.”

According to Jakubowicz, Leonard was sold on Usher once he decided he “had the right smile,” and the singer’s lack of pugilistic experience ended up being a benefit.

“A lot of the things that might get Usher criticized by his peers were the same things that Sugar Ray Leonard was criticized for,” Jakubowicz says. “Basically, that he was a pretty boy.”

“I do think that this is the beginning of a new journey as an actor,” Usher says. “The things I had done before are a part of it, but this definitely was a major step for me.”

Usher may not need a reintroduction into the world of music, but he hopes his upcoming album “Hard II Love” — initially slated for a 2015 release — can nonetheless serve as similar pivot point. And perhaps it needs to: It’s been four years since Usher released a full-length, which he acknowledges can seem like an eternity given the rapidly accelerating pace of the music business. But once again, the singer stresses patience.

“[With the album] I have the opportunity to pull from the best of what I’ve created. You know, it’s not like you spend three years just working on 12 songs. You work on 200 or 300 songs. Sometimes they’ll just be sketches, sometimes they’ll be full records. … But this album, I feel, is sort of like a finale to the other seven. And I’ve been thinking about that even when considering the album cover; I looked at all the other albums in order to make this sort of coming-of-age experience. You look at the progressions [from album-to-album], what I chose to talk about, where I was, what my mental state was at each point. Now I just feel relaxed. I feel confident about what I’m saying.”

That doesn’t mean he’s not eager to get the music out into the world. “I create from a place of passion,” he says, laughing as he draws up an odd biological metaphor. “It’s like a pregnancy, where you create from a place of passion, and then it grows, and then before you know it, you want to push that baby out. So after three years, it’s like a full-grown baby, and now I’m like, ‘get this grown person out of me.’”

Pop radio has changed quite a bit since Usher released “Looking 4 Myself” in 2012, but several points on that record seemed to point toward an interesting path forward. Though sales were goosed by the Max Martin-minted Top 10 single “Scream,” the album’s centerpiece, “Climax,” saw Usher embracing an entirely new register. Seemingly equally inspired by the atmospheric, heart-on-a-sleeve emoting of Frank Ocean and the EDM world in which Usher had notched several earlier crossover successes, the song was a radio oddity: Continually rising and falling on a minimal techno beat from Diplo, while Usher pushes his voice deep into his previously unexplored falsetto range.

When asked to name a favorite song from his catalog, Usher singles out “Climax” immediately, and agrees it marked a milestone for him “both musical and vocally, because I’d never used my falsetto in that way. That was a gear that I hadn’t used that much, because it’s so difficult to perform. But it was a newfound idea about who I am. Every time you come out with an album or a song, you want to feel like you’re growing a bit in what you are, and giving people something that they can feel.”

Then again, Usher has been unusually canny about anticipating and adopting new styles and registers throughout his career, as well as finding collaborators with whom to break new ground. The first of these was Bad Boy Records major domo Sean “Puffy” Combs, whom Usher’s LaFace Records boss L.A. Reid had enlisted to serve as the young singer’s executive producer and mentor. Usher’s self-titled 1994 debut produced a few minor hits, with the pubescent Usher singing unusually explicit lyrics. He acknowledges it wasn’t a perfect fit.

“When I was 14 years old, I was talking about much more mature things, because of the writers that I had at the time,” he says. “My first album was tied into what the culture was at that moment, which was Jodeci, Al B. Sure, Puff, The Hitmen. I reaped the benefits of being part of Bad Boy’s movement. That was my introduction. But it didn’t change what I was passionate about. I just wasn’t able to use it yet. It wasn’t until I got together with Jermaine Dupri [on second album, ‘My Way’] that I started telling a story that was a little closer to what my real life was.”

By the time Dupri took control of Usher’s fortunes, those minor hits turned major. “My Way” produced his first No. 1 single, “Nice and Slow,” and the album has since been certified six-times Platinum. Now a major star, Usher’s followup, “8701,” was designed to prove he was more than just a teen idol.

“Every time you come out with an album or a song, you want to feel like you’re growing a bit in what you are, and giving people something that they can feel.”

“Kawan Prather was the executive producer [of the album],” Usher says. “He pushed me to be more musical. He said, ‘OK, your last album was cool, and cool is good, but we want people to know that you can sing. We want to hear your vocal ability really bring out the song.’ So that’s how you get ‘U Don’t Have to Call,’ ‘U Got It Bad,’ ‘U Remind Me.’ It was a little bit of a Philly vibe, a little bit of B-More.

“But the idea, no matter who I’m working with, it’s always about collaboration. The mantra I take away from everything is: Don’t be afraid to collaborate. You don’t know everything, and you shouldn’t. The idea of being great is a collaborative effort. It’s never one man being an island, even if that one man chooses not to give other people some credit.”

Appropriately, Usher’s biggest splash saw the singer split credit three ways. “Yeah!,” a collaboration with Ludacris and producer Lil Jon, shot Usher’s sales into the stratosphere. The single was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 straight weeks, and only ceded that position to another Usher single, “Burn.” Both songs were found on the 2004 album “Confessions,” which produced four No. 1 singles, and has sold 20 million copies worldwide.

“My music has always been about fusion,” Usher says. “Even ‘Yeah!’ if you listen to the textures. It became a celebratory record, but it was about creating a fusion so that everybody around the world could enjoy it. That’s what seems to work, whenever I go out to bat with a specific idea or a concept, fusion is always the concept.”

It’s certainly an attitude he put into practice when dance music began making inroads into R&B radio. Though some purists might have scoffed, Usher embraced thumping four-on-the-floor beats for a spate of singles, including a collaboration with Swedish House Mafia and a pair of monster 2010 hits: “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” (No. 4) and “OMG” (No. 1).

As for what floats his boat these days, Usher has spent time in Cuba as part of a presidentially appointed arts and humanities delegation after the embargo was lifted, and he describes the country as “musical heaven.” He toyed with recording his entire new album in the country, and says he’s still considering doing so on a future project.

“The more I travel, the more I pick up different ideas, different genres, different textures,” he says. “It makes me more honest. And being a father too makes you more honest, and your perspective changes. You become a little more emotional. The things that you go through and the audiences you speak to, you begin to become more mindful of how far your reach is.

“When you’ve been doing something for 20 years,” he continues, “you can either look at yourself as old, or you can look at yourself as just getting warmed up. I choose to look at it as just getting warmed up.”

MTN Suspend Contracts of Their Celebrity Ambassadors

MTN Nigeria has suspended the ambassadorship of many of their ambassadors. Minus their regional ambassadors, Project Fame ambassadors including Iyanya, Praiz and Chidinma, and other ambassadors like Falz, Skales, Tekno and Nkem Owoh, everyone else has been suspended.


MTN told them that they had no roles for them at the moment and didn’t want to renew their contracts immediately. So right now, everything is pending. It may not be unconnected with the fact that the giant telecommunication company is paying over three hundred billion Naira fine to the Nigerian Govt for not disconnecting subscribers when they were supposed to.

Celebrities Come Out To Sign Anti-Trump Petition

About a hundred Hollywood actors and music stars, from Lena Dunham to Moby, have signed a petition against what they say is the “hateful ideology” of Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump.

“We are a coalition of artists who, today, are joining millions of Americans in our commitment to defeat the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump,” the online pledge reads.

“We believe it is our responsibility to use our platforms to bring attention to the dangers of a Trump presidency, and to the real and present threats of his candidacy.”

Among others on board: actors Kerry Washington, Julianne Moore, Patricia Arquette, Jane Fonda and Woody Harrelson, and music stars Russell Simmons, Michael Stipe and DJ Spooky.

Keen to throw a spotlight on potential threats posed by Trump, they warned that the billionaire real estate mogul “wants to take our country back to a time when fear excused violence, when greed fueled discrimination, and when the state wrote prejudice against marginalized communities into law.”

US voters, the group said, should “use the power of our voice and the power of our vote to defeat Donald Trump and the hateful ideology he represents.”

Americans will vote for president on November 8.

Nomoreloss: Lepacious Bose Blasts ‘Pretenders’ Uploading His Pictures

lekpa2

Following the death of popular singer and songwriter, Olumuyiwa Osinuga, popularly called Nomoreloss, Comedienne Lepacious Bose has lambasted those who uploaded his pictures on their social media profiles to mourn him, saying they are pretenders.

lekpa3The Comedienne on her Instagram page @lepaciousbose, in an open letter, referred to ‘pretenders’ as ‘fake ass’ who were nowhere to be found when the singer needed their help the most.

She wrote: Nomoreloss’ death – Stop celebrating a dead man we could have saved.

“Good night NoMoreLoss.

“Okay, so Normoloss is gone!

“Painful but more painful is all these social media downloaded pictures everywhere. Yes downloaded because most of you don’t have real pictures of him.

“He was never on your contact list neither did you have his phone number.

“Where were you all when he was sick and dying of pain and depression? Oh yeah some of you will say “I never knew/heard” that’s crap!

“His last post on instagram was 13 weeks ago did you try to find out why? Did he change ‘dp’ on ‘bbm’ or whatsapp? Some fake ass people putting his name on dp now didn’t put his picture up on his birthday oooo.

“Now he is dead, they are putting his picture up, calling him prolific music writer. Why didn’t you ever pay him to write for you. Calling him a great performer; when was the last time any of you paid him to perform at shows? Where were you all when Muyiwa’s career went down?

“You fake ass friends avoided him like a plague cause you thought he was no longer a relevant artist.

“Today you are celebrating a dead man we could have saved. A lovable guy that championed the crusade to save the life of another artist went off the radar and no one noticed.

“You guys never celebrate the living, once a celebrity becomes “irrelevant” you pack them, even fellow “relevant” celebrities avoid them like a plague.

“Reading some comments and remarks about Normoloss you will know most people didn’t know him they had no relationship with him they are just doing follow follow to look like they care.

“Muyiwa you were are great man, you will never watch another go through what you went through. You are gone now let the conscience of those of us alive judge us.

“God bless all the good friends that stood by you, God comfort them. May early death not be their portion.

“Good night Muyiwa, may your good deeds remain a memorial! ?#?veryheavyheart ?#?truefriendshipisrare,” Bose wrote.

Lira Galore Confirms Split With Rick Ross, Says Photo With Meek Mill May Have Caused It

In an interview with Global Grind, 22 year old Lira Galore who was engaged to rapper, Rick Ross, confirmed that she’s no longer with him. She said they decided to go their separate ways.
She said:
According to Lira, Rozay was the first famous person she’d ever been involved with, and it was also the first time she’d been in love.
She said:

“This was my first time in a public relationship, so I was happy about putting it out there,” she said while speaking to Global Grind. “But people on social media don’t like to see that type of stuff, so they dug up old stuff that didn’t matter.”

Later in the interview, Lira confirmed she and Ross actually did split a while back but eventually reunited. The reason for the initial break up? It had to do with a photo people kept posting of Galore and Meek Mill.

“I’m not worried about the picture with Meek,” stated Lira.

“It was just a picture that I posted on my Instagram. I was at work. I used to dance, and it was just a picture. I think the initial breakup was a combination of everything from people digging up tweets when I was 17 years old tweeting about different people, to the picture of Meek.”

“Everybody just kept posting it and I felt like as a man, he just couldn’t handle it when it was just nothing. I feel like during that time apart he realized he was tripping, so we got back together,” she added.

Galore also mentioned that she still carries deep feelings for the MMG chief. She added:

“We just decided to go our separate ways,” explained the popular model. “I’m 22 and this was my first time in love, and I put it out there. I’m still in love with him, but some things don’t go as you would like them to go.”

Lady Gaga And A Host Of Celebrities Mock Ronda Rousey After She Lost Her Fight

Ronda Rousey, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women’s bantamweight champion, ended her 12-fight winning streak on Saturday when she was defeated by Holly Holm at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. Before the fight, she boasted about how she was going to knock Holly out for being disrespectful and 2 sided. But it didn’t end the way she planned it. She had talked about the fight on her IG page. She said:

“Fake a– cheap shotting fake respect fake humility b–ch – “preacher’s daughter” my ass – I see through your fake sweet act now,” she captioned the video. “You’re getting your ass kicked tomorrow, and I’m really going to enjoy the beating I give you #andSTILL.”

However, Holly knocked her out within 59 seconds of the 2nd round.
Rousey, who was briefly unconscious after receiving a kick to the head from Holm approximately 59 seconds into the second round, was transported to a hospital following the fight. According to UFC president Dana White, Rousey’s lip was split in half and had to be sewn back together.
The epic upset caused a stir on the Internet following the match. Gaga was just one of the many celebrities and fans who took to social media to weigh in on Rousey’s first MMA loss.
The singer-turned-actress posted a photo of Holm knocking out Rousey on Instagram on Saturday, captioning it, “THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT TOUCHING GLOVES!”

Over 3000 People Paid N200k Each To Watch A Kim Kardashian Makeup Session

Over 3000 fans trooped out to witness a Kim kardashian makeup session and as you can guess, It is neither free nor cheap.

They were all trying to look like her, with their fake tans, fake eyelashes, fake hair. This was their chance — the hundreds of young women who had traveled from Ecuador, Sweden, Abu Dhabi — to see Kim Kardashian, take a selfie with her, impress her: Kim Kardashian.

Some of her fans had shelled out thousands of dollars to be in Pasadena, where the 34-year-old and one of her favorite makeup artists, Mario Dedivanovic, were putting on a master class Saturday to reveal how the reality star attains her sought-after look. The cheapest tickets went for $299.99, but the most coveted seats sold for $999.99 and came with platinum wristbands, which promised guests a pricey gift bag and a picture with Kardashian and Dedivanovic.
.

The sold-out event went down yesterday and a crowd of people paid to watch as Mario made her up for 4 1/2 hours. To prove just how successful the event was, Kim Kardashian shared a photo which showed that the 3,000 seat capacity event centre – the Pasadena Civic Center – was filled to the brim with participants while people stood in ventilation vents to see the event.
.

Kardashian was bare-faced when she emerged on stage Saturday, dressed in a tight-fitting black maxi dress that accentuated her growing abdomen. (She recently announced she is expecting her second child, a boy, with husband Kanye West.)

After Kardashian’s look was finally completed, an assistant rushed over to hand her a digital camera so she could take a selfie of the final transformation.
.

And then came the most important question of all:

“Kim,” a woman shouted from the audience, “what camera is that? Will it make me look like you and take selfies like you? Oh i love you kim. I want to be Kim for a second oh God ! she broke down in tears”

Kim answered

“It is discontinued,”  “I need to ask them to make it again. This is how it makes all of [my] pictures so flawless.”

And the madness ended. Everybody went home happy.
