CHRIS BROWN ABANDONS RIHANNA FOR A TIMEOUT IN PARIS WITH KARRUECHE

 What the heck is wrong with these three? What kind of arrangement do they have or should I ask what is so special about Chris that these two women want to 'die there'? After Rihanna spent the whole of last week on tour with him in Germany, Chris Brown is now in Paris and guess what, Karrueche is in Paris too. She is pictured above in Paris with Ugo Mozie who is Chris's stylist. The only answer I can come up with is that he must be that good in bed.

5 PEOPLE, INCLUDING 4 STUDENTS, DIE IN IBADAN AUTO CRASH

 Five people were feared dead in an auto crash in Ibadan in the early hours of yesterday. I heard five of them were students including a young lady. According to an eye witness account, the victims just left a relaxation point at Ajeigbe area of Ibadan metropolis and were heading towards Mobil Filling Station when the accident occurred. The driver of the Toyota Camry in which the students were, was driving recklessly and, in the process, lost control and skidded off the road running into an electricity pole at Oni and Sons Bus Stop and then somersaulted until it crossed to the other side of the dual carriageway and collided with a BMW car  driving towards Challenge area killing the owner, who was said to be coming from a night vigil around 5am, on the spot. Very sad. May they RIP.

According to the Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Bassey Akpan, the actual number of workers in the entire government ministries, which used to be 27,025 was reduced to 24,644 after 2,561 were identified as ghost workers.

PIC OF RIHANNA AT 15, THE DAY HER LIFE CHANGED FOREVER

Rihanna posted this photo of herself wearing a nervous smile as she sits on a sofa in her school uniform, with her dark hair pulled into a high ponytail, with the words: ‘The day I met and sang for Evan Rogers of SRP after school, my life has never been the same.’ 

 Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was introduced to Evan Rogers of Syndicated Rhythm Productions by mutual friends in Barbados in 2003. Shortly afterwards she went to his hotel room after school where she sang Mariah Carey’s Hero and Emotion by Samantha Sang. The singer was promptly whisked off to New York, signed to the production company and got a very exciting 17th birthday present in the form of a six album deal with Def Jam Recordings.  

After being signed to Syndicated Rhythm Productions and sending out demos, Rihanna was asked to audition for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid at Def Jam Recordings and signed her album deal with them that same day. Wow! One day is all it takes for someone's life to change forever. Pray that day comes upon us all and soon too.

MY HUSBAND DESPERATELY WANTS A BABY BUT I'M TOO TERRIFIED OF CHILDBIRTH

Dear RDB Readers,

I will be 23 at the end of the year - the age women all over the world start thinking about having babies. At 27 my husband's baby-ready. However, I'm not prepared - or think it's not the right time. I'd love a baby, but the thought terrifies me. Talking about it brings me to tears. I switch off programmes about pregnancy. Baby adverts get me thinking for hours about the blood and pain. Being around kids makes me uncomfortable as I'm always watching my husband staring with stars in his eyes.

WHY I MARRIED ANNIE SECRETLY- TUFACE IDIBIA

Tuface Idibia to PUNCH;

“Annie is my first and true love. I had known her before I met the other women in my life. As a Christian, I had to marry one woman and it just had to be Annie. “We had a secret wedding after we had reached an agreement and amicable understanding about the mothers of my children. It was a tough decision to make, one of the toughest in my life. “I secretly married her because I have so much respect for my other babies’ mothers; I cannot afford to hurt their feelings with a sudden society wedding with Annie, not now. I chose her above the others because she has been through it all with me.”

BISI IBIDAPO-OBE NAMES BABY MELAYE

More drama on the way, I tell you. Bisi Ibidapo Obe has gone ahead to name her baby girl Precious Oluwajomiloju Abikeade Melaye even though former House of Reps member, Dino Melaye is still insisting he is not the father of her baby. The baby was christened yesterday at her Magodo, Lagos home with friends and close family members in attendance.The christening was supervised by clerics from Celestial Church Of Christ. Do you think it's right for the baby's surname to be Melaye when it has not been proven that he is the father?
