After a tremendous run on the hit reality show Big Brother Africa StarGame, our very own pop sensation Goldie has been evicted.
The 29 year old award winning Nigerian artiste who was the only housemate left in the Big Brother house to keep the Nigerian flag flying surely got the whole of Africa entertained for 10 weeks.
Before the results of this week’s evictions were released, South African Upville housemate Keaganhad to face his fellow housemates and reveal his “Save and Replace” decision. He told Ugandan Upville housemate Kyle that he had been put on the chopping block, thereby causing more tension in the house. When it was later announced that Goldie would be leaving the show, the pop star who was wearing an outfit from her Say My Name video which was featured here on BellaNaija, simply just walked out.
In days leading to the eviction, Goldie who had a huge fight with her close confidant and fellow housematePrezzo was in a sober mood. She later told Big Brother that she did not want to spend the last three hours of her stay in the house, fighting with the love of her life. After her eviction, Prezzo followed her to the eviction doors and had one final conversation saying “I’m sorry about earlier. Can I get a hug?” Goldie seemed to mull over her decision for a bit, but then relented.
On stage, Big Brother host I.K. Osakioduwa showed Goldie how the housemates cast their votes and when Ghanaian Upville housemate Keitta revealed that he was nominating Goldie for eviction because he thinks she is still acting for the cameras, the pop star broke down in tears telling I.K. that ” I just felt because we were both from West Africa and we thought we had an understanding. I cooked for Keitta everyday, I helped make his hair”.
Watch Goldie On Stage
Goldie will surely be missed by Africans.

Viva Riva!
Riva is an operator, a man with charm and ambition in equal measure. Kinshasa is an inviting place. With petrol in short supply in DRC's capital, he and his sidekick pursue a plot to get hold of a secret cache - barrels of fuel they can sell for a huge profit. Of course they're not the only ones who want the stuff. Cesar is a ruthless, sharply dressed foreigner thriving in Kinshasa's lawless streets. A female military officer joins the fray. Even the church will betray its tenets for a piece of the action. But Riva's main nemesis is Azor, a crime boss in the classic style: big, decadent and brutal. He's not a man to mess with, but his girlfriend, Nora, may just be the most seductive woman in all of DRC. Riva catches sight of her dancing at a nightclub and it's not long before Nora matches the fuel cache as a coveted object of his lust.

Obama Documentary Featuring President's Half Brother Opens Big at Box Office (Exclusive)
Obama Documentary Featuring President's Half Brother Opens Big at Box Office (Exclusive)
the hollywood reporter reports ( http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/2016-obamas-america-featuring-an-349435 )
"2016: Obama's America" features an interview with the president’s half brother and opened in a single theater in Texas over the weekend, where it grossed an impressive estimated $31,750.
An anti-Obama documentary featuring an interview with the president’s half brother opened in a single theater in Texas over the weekend and, despite alleged complaints from some consumers who were upset with the film’s content, it grossed an estimated $31,750, a strong showing for any independent release.
Sources say some moviegoers sat in the aisles Thursday and waited as much as 90 minutes to meet D’Souza and Gerald Molen, one of the Oscar-winning producers of Schindler’s List, who was a co-producer of 2016 along with Doug Sain. For some of its regular showings over the weekend, the theater offered 2016 on multiple screens, including three sold-out auditoriums for the 7 p.m. Friday showing.The film, 2016: Obama’s America, based on conservative author Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Roots of Obama’s Rage, had a free, promotional screening at Edwards Houston Marq’E Stadium 23 & Imax on Thursday. Management had planned to show it in one of its medium-sized auditoriums, but bumped it to one the multiplex’s largest rooms and turned away 200 people.
If the weekend estimate from the movie’s distributor, Rocky Mountain Pictures, holds when final numbers are reported Monday, the film will have bested the per-theater number posted by the Al Gore documentary about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, which opened to $123,549 in four theaters in 2006 for a per-theater average of $30,887.
That film, which had the benefit of a mainstream distributor in Paramount Vantage and, eventually, two Oscar wins, went on to earn $24 million domestically. The box-office record for politically-charged documentaries is held by Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, which grossed $119 million domestically in 2004. It opened on a Wednesday, in just two theaters, taking in $83,922 on its first day, for a one-day, per-theater average of $41,961. Still, for any documentary to pass the $25,000-per-theater mark on its opening weekend represents an unusually strong showing, according to box office observers.
The management at the Regal Entertainment-owned theater did receive some complaints over its decision to present 2016. “The theater manager said they received a lot of phone calls from people arguing they shouldn’t show the movie,” Sain said. “His response was, ‘We don’t make movies, we just show them.’ “
According to Sain, the manager compared the reaction to 2016 to that of Fahrenheit 9/11, but said it was not as dramatic as some complaints over The Passion of the Christ that same year. The manager told Sain that during the controversial Mel Gibson film people went into the theater to try to disrupt the film and that it was necessary to have security remove them.
“So they weren’t flying by the seat of their pants with 2016. They know how to respond to controversy,” Sain said.
Regal spokesman Russ Nunley said some people “were around the box office wearing pro Obama tees to express their view.” But he said the protest was “very low key and not confrontational.” He also said theater managers received “many positive comments thanking them for playing the film.”
At the Houston theater over the weekend, only The Amazing Spider-Man and Ice Age: Continental Drift grossed more than 2016, according to Sain.
“We’re getting tremendous media coverage and box office results. More than, frankly, we ever hoped for,” Sain said. “We thought we’d be really lucky with $15,000 for the entire week, but we doubled that in just this weekend.”
2016 had been scheduled to expand to 120 theaters on July 27, but Sain said he’s confident that Rocky Mountain Pictures can bump it to about 400 theaters given the initial popularity of the film.

P.S if you need kim kardashian’s contact, there’s that governor’s daughter that’s friend’s with Malika Haqq who is friend’s with Khloe Kardashian who is kim’s sister. Go to her boutique nd ask.
OR…

Anyway all lines are busy pls try again later…
She was herself,even if a bit immature and theatrical. Watching her, I sensed a serious need for love and constant revalidation. Did anyone notice her message from home was only from friends in her music industry and no family? She showed signs of craving protection/security which I think is why she hung on to Prezzo so much, as she couldn’t even profess love for him. ‘I thank God for you’…
I think she needs to know she is a valuable and blessed child of God and grow/mature in that knowledge. You went into a GAME, Africa (not God) voted you out, be objective and accept the game you willingly entered into.
In my opinion, it was a bad move going into the house, for otherwise, your tough girl cover in your chosen musical career would have remained a believable identity.
Nevertheless, KEEP UR HEAD UP, and don’t breakdown at every hint of criticism or antagonism.
Build on your strengths, work on your weaknesses like everyone needs to, including your harshest judges!
