Beyonce: She Just Keeps On Winning

Let me admit something: I have been liking - maybe loving - Beyonce recently. I am just so awed at her person. She's famous. She's successful. She's married. She's a mommy. She's wealthy. She's private.  She's beautiful. She's hella hot. I just love the way we know the things she wants us to know. No one really knows what goes on behind closed doors, and I love it. We don't see her in tabloids with news about fighting someone. Or cheating (or being cheated on). Or crashing a car. Or smoking a Read More

Guess How Much Adele Makes?

Guess How Much Adele Makes?

She makes $41,000. I mean forty-one thousand American dollars. Per day. Yup. Per day. Because of how successful her songs are, she makes a lot of money from royalties. So I cannot help but wonder what I would do with $41,000 per day? For starters, I would get me one of these: Yup. I do love this car. I know what you're thinking: But Vera, what happened to your Dodge Charger? And when did you start liking this car? Well, I still like the Dodge Charger, but I have loved and wanted Read More

Lessons Hollywood Can Learn From Nollywood

Lessons Hollywood Can Learn From Nollywood

Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching the Golden Globe Awards. While I enjoy watching almost most awards of this kind, I usually do not get to watch the red carpet. They’re just going to tell me what they are wearing, and since I cannot afford them yet, what does it matter?

From the red carpet to the actual award show, I could not help but notice some differences between Read More

Who Is Kim’s Actual Baby Daddy? And Other Stories

Okay, I'll admit it ... I am shocked and happy that Kim Kardashian and Kanye are STILL together. It's like everyday I read something about them, I'm surprised all over again. Unless they are giving us some bad ass photo ops, I think it's safe to say that these two are genuinely happy. And for some reason, I'm genuinely happy for them, too. Sometimes, we easily forget that these celebrities are just people, and they probably want what we all want: love, peace, joy, etc. In spite of my doubts, Read More

Sooo … I Saw Django (the ‘D’ is silent)

I did not realize until we saw the movie that the name is actually Django Unchained. Everyone (or most people) just call it Django. First of all, how was your Christmas? On Christmas Day, Igwe and I did not do much. It was a lazy day, felt like Saturday. There was no work, stores were closed, eyes were drowsy. You get the point. He managed to cook some potatoes for himself that morning, and he has not let me hear the end of it. All of a sudden, he thinks he's something special. I won't mention Read More
