FANS SIGN PETITION TO HAVE JAY-Z & BEYONCE TURN #RUN TRAILER INTO A MOVIE

 Leaked CCTV footage of Solange Knowles, the sister to Beyoncé, viciously attacking Jay-Z in a lift, quickly became a trending topic on Twitter, with the hash tag #whatjayzsaidtosolange trending for hours. Most of the tweets were hilarious with Solange’s relatively obscure music war, her new hairstyle as well as Jay-Z’s famous lyrics, “I’ve got 99 problems but a b**ch aint one” featuring prominently. Here are some…

·         Can we sacrifice you to Illuminati?

·         Threesome with you, me and B?

·         Don’t hate on Blue Ivy for making one more hit song than you.

But recently, Beyoncé and Jay-Z featured in a trailer dubbed #RUN for their upcoming tour. The trailer trended and got fans talking; with a petition raised and signed by their loyal fans to have the trailer turned to#RUN MOVIE.

And still on trailers, after the disappearance of the Malaysian Airline’s [lane, a creative has released a trailer for a movie on the story and he is now looking for funds to support the shooting and release of the movie. What do you think? Join the debate…

LILIAN MULI BULLIED ON TWITTER AFTER INTERVIEW WITH KONSHENS

#overheard

Monday Blues reports: after getting attacked by social media bullies on Twitter over her interview with Jamaican superstar Konshens; celebrated TV beauty queen Lilian Muli is not a happy girl.

The TV anchor became a hot topic over the weekend as the dreaded Kenyans on Twitter (#KOT) started debating on how she had performed during the interview with the visiting singer.

With some going ahead to attack her personality and others talking about her general image, the TV hottie did not take some of those messages kindly. She termed them as insensitive…

And still on Konshens; the dancehall star will not be forgetting his Nairobi visit anytime soon. Not with the attention he got from over-obsessed female fans.

During his thriller concert, girls fought for him with groupies threatening to jump on stage to get a piece of him. Some even went ahead to remove their panties begging to have sex with him. A known socialite even took the effort to drive to the hotel where the singer was staying to have a private moment with him.

The superstar did not disappoint his fans during the Guiness Evolution Party concert that was headlined by local talents among them Wyre, Juacali, Ken Wa Maria, Habida, DJ Joe Mfalme and emcee Kriss Darlin.

 With a good turnout at the KICC event, some 31 youths were arrested for mugging and other crimes during and after the performance.

THE GRANDPA GOVERNMENT JINX: how artistes who “mess” with Grandpa Records end up losing the limelight…

#wordonthestreet

Many perceive Grandpa Records as the main recording rival to Ogopa Deejays. But both stables have been on the spot on many allegations including artiste’s exploitation among others.

Recently, one of the ‘Majirani’ duo famed for their Grandpa Records fresh release, “ivo ndo kunaendaga”, is said to be a barber in River Road, months after beefing with the CEO-Refigah.

Tom Watima aka Majirani; had alleged that the stable’s hit release of the chart topping song was his original work. But he is not the only one, many allegations have been fashioned against the recording stable by a section of break-away artiste’s and individuals.

Refigah has challenged them to come out and show proof for their claims, but the artistes chickened being quoted saying Refigah was so powerful and too close with media people that they would hardly succeed in the their quest to have their say.

But what power or jinx does Grandpa big boss Refigah have? He laughs- “I have my facts! Maybe that is why many are afraid to challenge me!”

Many artistes including Ray-C; Mr. Nice, Dogo; among others who have had beef with the stable, have had their limelight turned off instantly. Recently, last week on Grandpa’s Facebook page, the stable asked fans to pray for Mr. Nice after he was beaten up in Tanzania.

Currently, Grandpa Records remains the leading hit maker stable, enjoying mass popularity all over the region. The stable continues to recruit top artistes and upcoming talent on the pillars of a signed business contract and relationship.

For Lola; the new celebrity status came as a blessing in disguise; “a friend gave my number to the producers of the show and they called me to ask whether I could attend the audition. I was told 30 people had auditioned; so even as I went to try my luck; I never thought I would land the job.”

The whole protest made the news bana>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o89pRWhGQdc<Yaani Coasto mamas have so much free time they even made placards and ish? /o\ 

Nyota's warning to Coasto artists: Don't post nudes or provocative pics on the internets yaani in a language they understand, Msiweke picha za uchi kwenye mitandao! - Jeremy Odhiambo
Moustapha is finally relevant again. Relevant as a living example of what you should not do to stay relevant. 

He tried the Tujuane avenue & came off as the King of Thirst. Then he had a shoot with Huddah & claimed they were bumping uglies! 

When Huddah called him out for the fake relationship, saying he wasn't in her class na hawesmek, Moustapha resorted to crying in his Coasto swahili "Kama Mtu hayuko class yako mbona mnapigaje picha ukiwa sindiria? Mboona hukupiga na watu wengine?” Woi! - Jeremy Odhiambo

FINALLY TEACHER WANJIKU’S COMEDY SHOW DEBUTS ON CITIZEN-TV

FILM REVIEW

After her departure from the Churchill Show rumors were rife that Teacher Wanjiku wanted to start her own show and this week; Teacher Wanjiku comedy show made its debut on Citizen TV on Friday evening at 8pm.

Unscripted and often weaving in and out of Swahili; Kikuyu; Sheng and English; Teacher Wanjiku is no-nonsense teacher presenting her locality with a universal context.

She has an unusual class too. The usual thug; the blonde girls; the talkative; the bad-boy of the class-you name it.

We wait to see whether the show will leave us in stitches and asking for more!
