Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Rock Bright Blue Colored Contacts Lenses

Have you ever wondered what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would look like if they had ice blue eyes? Yeah, we hadn't either...but Kim just showed us and it actually looks kinda cool. Well, sort of a cross between creepy and cool favoring the 'cool' side by a small percentage.

Kim is almost unrecognizable in her blue-eyed photo while Yeezy is a little easier to identify because we'd know his signature circle beard anywhere.

Kanye was wearing the contacts for his SNL 40 appearance where he performed his new track "Wolves" (hence the blue, wolf-like contacts) along with Sia and Vic Mensa. The track actually debuted during Yeezy's Adidas show at NYFW, but people might not have heard it all that well because Kanye's daughter was throwing a tantrum in the front row that kind of stole the show.

‘Obasanjo Is An Author Of Confusion & Nigeria’s Number One Enemy’ – Gov. Ayo Fayose

Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State is not pleased with Nigeria's ex-President, Olusegun Obasanjo throwing tantrums at the present govt. and has revealed that “He is a confusionist who has lost his status as a statesman and Nigerians should simply ignore him.”

The governor expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan will be reelected to complete his eight year-term, added: “Obasanjo is only fighting President Jonathan because he prevented him (Obasanjo) from ruling Nigeria from his Ota Farm.”
In a statement issued yesterday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said: “Obasanjo is a cancer that may never get cured in a lifetime. The moment Obasanjo is not the one controlling a house, he will want the house pulled down but this time around, he has failed.

“Obasanjo has always benefited from the misfortune of others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person in the whole world. When Murtala Mohammed was murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was the beneficiary. In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, late Chief MKO Abiola, was not the messiah Nigeria needed. Instead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola’s mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which he schemed to head.
“MKO Abiola died in detention in 1998 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary of his (Abiola) death. Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo marched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout Obasanjo’s eight years as president.
“Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done what he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a whole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not want anyone to equal his record as Nigeria’s longest serving president.
“President Jonathan has made it impossible for Obasanjo to run his presidency for him and for this reason, he is supporting Buhari, hoping that he will be the one to nominate ministers for Buhari if he becomes president. However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football that he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be reelected and Nigeria will be freed from Obasanjo’s bondage once and for all.”

President Jonathan & Muhammadu Buhari To Meet Again Before March 28 Elections

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan and his All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) may meet outside the country before the March 28 presidential elections.

The PUNCH gathered that the meeting was to establish rapport between the two contenders before the election.

A source close to the Presidency said, “We are trying to broker a meeting between the two leaders.

“The way the presidential electioneering is going may create serious divisions among Nigerians. We need to stop this.

“Apart from this, I think there is serious apprehension in the camp of the President that if Buhari wins, he’s going to jail a lot of President Jonathan’s supporters for alleged corruption.

“This is one of the issues that is causing serious tension in the camp of the President and we also need to make sure that in whatever we do, there must be peace in the country.”

AY Shares His Pain Over The Piracy Of His ’30 Days In Atlanta’ Movie In Open Letter To IG Of Police

Piracy has been claimed to be one of the greatest problems of the Entertainment industry and comedian AY turned movie producer is having an ordeal in the hands of the folks who engage in Piracy as his newly released movie '30 days in Atlanta' has been pirated and is being sold on the streets of Lagos. In an open letter to the Inspector General of Police, AY pens down his grief and sadness while explaining that the loss he would incure from piracy will take a toll on the movie and also affect him as a producer. Below is the open letter he wrote:

Dear sir,
It is with the deepest sorrow that I pen these words. I have never understood the true meaning of the saying “only the one wearing the shoes feels the pain”, till recent times. Since the advent of Independent Producers, piracy has become the bane of the industry because as the saying goes ‘monkey de work, baboon de chop’.
The excitement that greeted the movie industry through the Box-Office success of 30 Days In Atlanta has quickly turned to sorrowful awe as I heard the news that the result of my sweat and sleepless nights has been sold by a traitorous miscreant, yet unknown, to a dubious marketer in Alaba. The news that would have made not just more Nigerians but also foreigners invest in Nollywood, has been dampened by the nefarious activities of intellectual pirates who hide in Alaba.
I have contacted Silverbird Film Distribution (whom I submitted the master of my movie to), Mr Afam Ezekude DG National Copyright Commission and Mr Ahbu Ventures who heads a session of Alaba where the Criminals are operating, Yet nothing visible has been done to take my movie off the street.
I have always heard of the risk faced by honest producers of loss of revenue due the activities of the incessant piracy cabals operating freely, without fear of the law in Nigeria and within the past few weeks, this has been my experience as I heard of the leak of my movie to various nefarious elements. Enough is enough of the economic hardship that is created for hardworking movie producers by some of these Alaba pirates who would do anything to reap from where they did not sow.
Sir, it has been argued that the impressive figures posted as revenue accrued to Nollywood are a mere drop in the ocean if the malaise of piracy is properly nipped by the effective implementation of the anti-piracy laws by the relevant governmental agencies. Alaba is part of Nigeria and as such the activities therein ought to be governed by the laws of Nigeria.
Even the laudable financial facilities made available by Mr President to be accessed by producers towards the development of the industry both as an employer of labour and a growing contributor to the annual revenue of Nigeria will be for naught if the piracy vampires continue to have a field day. The continued dominance of piracy will either lead to producers refusing to make more movies for fear of loss or that producers who go ahead to make movies using such funds will then be forced to become indigents because they will unable to pay back the loans accessed due to these vandals.
Sir, Nollywood is a multi-billion-naira industry and the opening of new cinema houses across the country is indeed cause for the celebration for both producers and lovers of Nigerian movies but the major challenges of the Nollywood industry from its birth till date has been the issue of transparent distribution channels and the malaise of piracy.
No more should a miscreant be celebrated or allowed to rape intellectual properties of honest hardworking citizens with impunity while the owners of the property impotently look on. No more should movie producers and other intellectual property owners scrabble to quickly make the little they can before ‘Alaba boys’ get their hands on the content and turn a goldmine into a dunghill.
I urge you to use your good office to use your actions in arresting the illegal spread of 30 Days In Atlanta as a standard for changing the status quo and letting the miscreants know that no one is above the laws of Nigeria.
I wait your intervention sir.
Thanks
AY

Duncan Mighty Plants A Cute Kiss On Tonto Dikeh’s Cheek As They Enjoy Val Weekend Together – PHOTO!

Duncan Mighty shared a photo of himself and Tonto Dikeh together from the weekend and he said she was his Cousin, we really didn't know they were family..wow!.

Apparently, Tonto Dikeh didn't spend her Valentine with her Mr. X and she took the time to travel to Port Harcourt and Ebonyi over the weekend. Definitely looked like she had a fun filled Valentine weekend nonetheless, despite not being able to spend it with the love of her life.
