Ella Martins says she got married at the age of 14.

 Ella revealed in a private chat with Potpourrri that, the happiness she enjoyed in her marriage sometime ago has faded out and would like to call it a quit with her German husband.
“I have been married a long time but most people don’t see me as a married woman because I have been living apart from my husband for years now. My husband is German and we are legally married. We married when I was 14 years old. By the time I was 21 I was already tired with the marriage and I guess so was my husband. Both of us have been living separately for years now.”

She added, “I ran away from my parents so early and got myself hooked to my husband. I must tell you my parents are Yoruba. My dad’s name is Olayinka Martins while my mum’s name is Fagbemi Oulematou. But I grew up in Abidjan, Cote de Ivoire and France.”
In 2013, news broke that she was having an affair with Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji, of which both of them denied the homos*xual saga.
The sultry actress starred in Lost Paradise with Rita Dominic and Tricia Esiegbe, Gods Are Still Not to Blame with Seun Akindele and others.

Chidinma Tells The World About Her Forthcoming Album

The singer who recently dropped the visuals for her single with M.I ‘Lorry’, stopped by Pulse TV studios for an interview where she talked about her forthcoming project.

“I have been on this for a while now. The last time I dropped an album, it’s been years now.” Chidinma said.

Chidinma disclosed that her sophomore album is almost ready, and would have been released in September. She opted not to, due to the volume of albums set to drop in the month. 

Over 8 artistes are set to drop their LPs this month, with Iyanya and Orezi, and Samklef already celebrating the release of theirs. Jesse Jagz, Davido, and many others are finalising plans to release their projects.

“There should be an album this year. Like I said, we have been on it for a while. But then September is kinda choked already, lots of artistes are dropping albums. If it doesn’t drop this September, I will probably move it to towards the end of the year.” She further disclosed.

In 2011, Chdinma released her first solo single 'Jankoliko' featuring Sound Sultan. "Chidinma", her self-titled debut studio album, was released through the music platform Spinlet. It was supported by the singles 'Jankoliko', 'Carry you go', 'Kedike' and 'Run Dia Mouth'.

Boko Haram: Jaiz Bank spends N100m on Internally Displaced Persons

"Such displaced persons preferred to stay with relatives than go to the displaced camp,’’ Salihu said.
 

The Islamic non-interest bank, JAIZ, said it had spent over N100 million in providing essential needs to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) as part of its humanitarian services.

The bank’s Head of Corporate Commucations, Mal. Idris Salihu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja that officials of the bank had been visiting the different IDP camps, donating various food items, clothing and medication to the the insurgency victims.

Salihu said that the Jaiz humanitarian assistance was also being extended to families in Maiduguri, Damaturu and Yola who were providing shelter to numerous displaced persons and their relatives.

"Such displaced persons preferred to stay with relatives than go to the displaced camp,’’ Salihu said.

He added that "Jaiz Bank's humanitarian officials are going around the areas affected by insurgency to find such families and assist them’’.

Salihu said that the JAIZ Charity and Development Foundation was coordinating the efforts "as an on-going process to support and complement Federal Government’s initiatives’’.

He disclosed that part of the funds being spent on the humanitarian efforts were derived from interest paid by commercial banks where JAIZ shareholders money were initially kept.

He said that "since such funds were forbidden (haram) for JAIZ bank to mix with its capital, the money was handy for assisting displaced persons among others’’.

The spokesman said that the bank had also been partnering the Islamic organisation, JIBWIS, to assist indigent persons in Borno, Adamawa, Bauchi and other parts of the North East affected by crisis.

JAIZ bank formally commenced commercial non-interest banking operations in the country in 2012.

Could This Be Possible: Couples serve expired food to wedding guest

28-yr-old Zoe Chambers and 27-yr-old Charlie Loughlin had collected food from a waste charity organisation to prepare food for 150 invited guests at their reception.
 
 Zoe Chambers, 28, and Charlie Loughlin, 27, chose to champion the charity FoodCycle at their wedding
 

A bride and groom served their weddings a feast of leftover food meant to be thrown away to wedding guests.

28-yr-old Zoe Chambers and 27-yr-old Charlie Loughlin had collected food from a waste charity organisation to prepare food for 150 invited guests at their reception. 

The couple prepared Panzanella salad made from tomatoes, bread and potatoes that were thrown away by supermarkets and Moroccan-style vegetables from ingredients which had passed their best-before dates, Cambridge News reports.

However, wedding guests aware of the food source, applauded the meal prepared by a FoodCycle  charity for the couple.

"All the guests were aware and it went down really well, everyone loved the food and everyone loved the idea." 

"All of that food was collected and prepared by a charity called FoodCycle in Cambridge – had that food not been used for our wedding it would have all gone in the bin," the groom said.

"We had little jam jars with candles in them, lots of bean cans with flowers in them and all the timber for the signs we put up was recycled. The wedding was entirely designed by ourselves. We got married outside on a cricket pitch and everything else we organised through people we know.

"We decided if we were going to pay someone to design and cook food for our wedding then it would be perfect if it was FoodCycle," Charlie added.

"By having FoodCycle cater our wedding we wanted to give them some publicity and at the same time have a wedding close to our hearts," the bride said. 

"That's the first wedding we've done. It's always good to have a challenge and this was certainly a challenge. Zoe and Charles were very relaxed about it and knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. It was really good fun," Alex Collis, owner of FoodCycle told reporters.

"It was a really lovely day and showed what Food Cycle is all about. We got lots of compliments and somebody said to me as a vegetarian that it was the best wedding food she'd ever eaten", he added.

Paris Jackson net worth

About Paris Jackson

Paris Jackson is one of the most well known names in the entertainment industry, which is believed to be mainly because of her relations – her father is known to be the popular entertainer, Michael Jackson. Born in 1998, it has been reported that Paris Jackson net worth reaches 100 million dollars.
The girl was born in Beverly Hills, California. Also, she is the second child to the entertainer, Michael Jackson. However, she has accumulated her net worth through her appearances in TV as well as being an actress. Thus, these are the sources which are believed to be the ones, which have added a lot of revenues to Paris Jackson net worth.
The girl is also known to be the only daughter, whom Michael Jackson had with Debbie Rowe. Paris Jackson has a brother named Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. and a half-brother named Prince Michael Jackson II. Paris Jackson was named Paris, because it was in France, Paris, where she was conceived in. In 1999, Michael Jackson divorced from her mother and Paris Jackson was raised solely by the entertainer. After the divorce, Michael Jackson was given full custody of his children from Debbie Rowe. However, later Debbie Rower stated that it was an agreement between her and Michael Jackson, so that he would be the one, who would raise their children.
Paris Jackson was raised in the Netherland Ranch, which today is converted into an amusement park. Also, because Michael Jackson came from the entertainment industry and had a lot of acquaintances in it, it is no surprise that Paris Jackson’s godparents were made Macaulay Culkin and Elizabeth Taylor. When her father died in 2009, wealth came to her as well, which also increased the overall amount of Paris Jackson net worth.
Also, after the death of Michael Jackson, her grandmother became the one, who was taking care of her and her siblings. Also, Paris Jackson as well as her siblings childhood was very different than most of the celebrity kids. Her and her brothers’ faces were usually covered with masks when they were going out with their father because Michael Jackson intended to keep his children identities unknown to paparazzis as well as the public. Also, later it was stated that the kids were wearing the masks only when they were out with Michael Jackson.
The first time she appeared on TV was in a documentary about her father called “Living with Michael Jackson”. Also, the show started her way to her career as a TV personality, which also added extra revenues to Paris Jackson net worth.

Is This True: Michael Jackson Net Worth: Pop Icon's Estate Earned An Astounding $2 Billion Since His Death

 


Michael Jackson's net worth is valued at a hefty amount of $600 million. Six years after his death, the King of Pop's estate has incredibly blown up to a massive amount of almost $2 billion. How did it happen?

TMZ first reported the enormous increase in the estate, citing that it went from bankruptcy to substantially gaining manifolds of earnings that it even reached to almost $2 billion. The site reported that after the "Thriller" singer's death, the incredible boost in his  net worth estate can be credited from his 50 million albums sold from his "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour," "This is It" film, and other business dealings. His estate is also reportedly gaining profits from Sony.  
Six years have passed after MJ died from Propofol overdose and other sedatives. During the time, Michael Jackson's net worth was reported at nearly $500 million with his record-breaking music, endorsements, concerts and videos. However, with his lavish lifestyle, his debts also climbed up to a significant amount of $500 million, Celebrity Net Worth reports.
Reports claimed that MJ's unpaid bills soon started to pile up. He spent $12 million on a divorce settlement with Debbie Rowe, splurged on buying arts, antiques, clothes, chimpanzees, diamond-embedded gloves and Bentleys. He also spent $5 million for yearly interest payments on his debts and $20 million to resolve lawsuits he faced at that time.
However, at the time of his sudden death, Daily Mail reports that his popularity improved after people started downloading and buying his albums "Bad," "Thriller," and "Off the Wall."
Michael Jackson's net worth or estate is now valued at $2 billion, which sums up to $450 million after all bills and taxes have been applied. Moreover, Jackson's three children, Prince, 18; Paris, 17; and Blanket, 13, will reportedly receive $100 million in case the estate is liquidated.
"Michael's number one priority was his children, not wealth or fame," said Tom Mesereau, the lawyer who successfully defended Jackson against child molestation charges in the past. MJ wanted the best education for his children, he added, according to Huffington Post.

Game of Thrones breaks Emmy record with 12 wins

Game of Thrones picked up a record-breaking 12 awards, including best drama series at this year's Emmys in Los Angeles.

Viola Davis also made history by becoming the first black woman to win the best lead actress prize for her role in How To Get Away With Murder.
Jon Hamm finally won a best actor award for Mad Men in the show's last year. He had been nominated seven times before.
Political comedy Veep was the winner in the best comedy series category.
And Inside Amy Schumer was named best variety sketch series.

 
Jon Hamm won the award for leading actor on his eighth attempt 

 It was the first time since it began in 2011 that Game of Thrones had won the best drama series award. Its other accolades included best writing, best direction and best supporting actor for Peter Dinklage, who plays Tyrion Lannister.
Amazon's comedy-drama Transparent won awards for best director in a comedy and for its lead actor, Jeffrey Tambor, who plays a transgender college professor.
The show also picked up best guest actor in a comedy for former West Wing star Bradley Whitford.
Viola Davis won her Emmy for lead actress in a drama thanks to her role as a tough criminal defence lawyer in ABC's How to Get Away With Murder.
Accepting her award, she said: "The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity.

Viola Davis became the first black woman to win the award for leading actress 


Jon Hamm, who played Don Draper in the drama Mad Men, set in an advertising agency primarily in the 1960s, said: "It's incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here."
Julia Louis-Dreyfus won best comedy actress for the fourth time for playing Selina Meyer on Veep, while Tony Hale, who plays her bag man, was again named best comedy supporting actor.
Veep, which is set in the office of the fictional vice-president and subsequent president of the United States, Selina Meyer, also won the comedy writing statuette.
The show's win for best comedy ended a fiver-year winning streak for sitcom Modern Family - dashing the cast's hopes of beating Frasier, which also has five wins in the category.
Uzo Aduba, who plays Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren in Netflix prison series Orange is the New Black, was named best supporting actress in a drama.
The TV Academy awarded only four prizes to the main US broadcast networks. But while the pre-awards talk had revolved around streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon, it was cable channel HBO that swept the board, with shows like Veep, Game of Thrones and Olive Kitteridge performing well.
The latter picked up six awards, including best mini-series, best lead actor in a mini-series or movie (Richard Jenkins), lead actress (Frances McDormand) and supporting actor (Bill Murray).
Andy Samberg hosted the show, his first time at the helm of a major awards ceremony.
Variety's Brian Lowry wasn't overly impressed with Samberg's debut: "What mostly came across, gradually, was that Samberg's approach just didn't wear especially well. He plays better in bite-sized bits, and his sprightly setup/joke rhythms yielded diminishing returns over the course of the evening."
But USA Today reviewer Robert Bianco was a little more effusive.
"For most viewers, the show only works if the host works, and Samberg did just fine. Like all modern awards show hosts, he did throw a few jabs at some of the folks in the room, but they were generally mild, which is what the job requires."

Novelist Jackie Collins dies aged 77

 

The novelist Jackie Collins has died of breast cancer at the age of 77, her family said in a statement.

"It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the death of our beautiful, dynamic and one-of-a-kind mother," the statement said.
The British-born writer, sister of actress Joan Collins, died in Los Angeles, her spokeswoman said.
Collins's raunchy novels of the rich and famous sold more than 500 million copies in 40 countries.
In a career spanning four decades, all 32 of her novels appeared in the New York Times bestseller list.


The family statement said the writer lived "a wonderfully full life", adored by family, friends and readers.
"She was a true inspiration, a trailblazer for women in fiction and a creative force. She will live on through her characters but we already miss her beyond words," it added.
Collins was diagnosed with stage-four breast cancer six-and-a-half years ago, according to US celebrity magazine People.
She told the magazine in her last interview on 14 September that she had told few people about her diagnosis other than her three daughters, and did not regret her decision.
"I did it my way, as Frank Sinatra would say," she said.


"I've written five books since the diagnosis, I've lived my life, I've travelled all over the world, I have not turned down book tours and no-one has ever known until now when I feel as though I should come out with it."
She was in the UK less than a fortnight ago on a promotional tour for her latest book.

Jackie Collins published her first novel in 1968 

Scandalous bestseller

Her sister Joan, 82, who only learned the news herself in the last fortnight, told People magazine she was "completely devastated".
"She was my best friend. I admire how she handled this. She was a wonderful, brave and a beautiful person and I love her," she said.
Jackie Collins, who was born in London, began writing as a teenager, making up racy stories for her schoolfriends, according to a biography on her website.
Her first novel, The World is Full of Married Men, was published in 1968 and became a scandalous bestseller. It was banned in Australia and branded "disgusting" by romance writer Barbara Cartland.
In 1985, her novel Hollywood Wives was made into a mini-series by ABC, starring Anthony Hopkins and Candice Bergen.
Collins said that she "never felt bashful writing about sex". "I think I've helped people's sex lives," she said.
"Sex is a driving force in the world so I don't think it's unusual that I write about sex. I try to make it erotic, too."
