Ghanaians are unappreciative people- DKB responds

Zainab and DKB- Big Brother Star Game

The management of Ghanaian comedian and TV personality DKB (Big Brother Star Game) has responded to an article which was published online earlier this week suggesting that the comedian claimed that Ghanaians do not appreciate their own comedians. Ecstasy Entertainment, management of DKB finds this article an attempt to defame DKB, whom people already want to vilify.

In a press statement released by the management company they commented:

“In their bid to depict DKB as a renegade, they used the title “DKB claims Ghanaians are unappreciable people” which is not only grammatically incorrect but also meant to sway Ghanaians into thinking he said they are unappreciative people. We want to state emphatically that he didn’t blatantly say it as it was reported but rather he had a hypothetical approach towards it.”

“What brought up this topic was a phone-in interview session by Angel Fm, Kumasi, during an entertainment discussion when DKB was called to give his opinion on why it seems Ghanaians do not support Ghanaian comedians but prefer their Nigerian counterparts. He replied saying most Ghanaians do not give new/upcoming comedians enough chance to show them what they can do but rather compare them to the best and already established Nigerian comedians, resulting in the conclusion that the Nigerian acts are better off than the Ghanaian ones."

BET Awards 2012: Highlights and Winners.

Samuel L Jackson and Spike Lee

With all the star power at the BET Awards – Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce and Samuel L. Jackson, to name a few – the most stirring moment came not from a superstar, but from the mother of one.

Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy, provided the emotional highlight of Sunday's ceremony as she sang "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in tribute to her late daughter, leaving audience members like Beyonce and Soulja Boy in tears.

Cissy Houston

Mariah Carey opened the tribute with memories of her friend. She was followed by a moving number by Monica. Brandy, heavily influenced by Houston, sang two of the late singer's hits. Chaka Khan blazed the stage with "I'm Every Woman," which Houston remade. Gary Houston, Whitney's brother, also performed.

But the nearly four-hour BET Awards was more like the Bleep Awards, as entire segments of performances from Nicki Minaj to Rick Ross were muted out due to foul language. It started during the opening number by West's G.O.O.D. music group, which included Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz. There were long moments of censored silence when the rappers performed "Mercy," though not all the offending words were bleeped out. Moments later, Jackson, the show's host, was joined by Spike Lee as they did a comedic version of Jay-Z and West's hit song "... In Paris," to laughs. "Two distinguished Morehouse men," Lee joked after the performance, referencing the alma mater of the two.

News Corp Board Approves Publishing, Entertainment Business Split

June 28, 2012 From NDTV

The board of News Corp approved in principle splitting the $60 billion media conglomerate into separate publishing and entertainment businesses, a person familiar with the situation said on Thursday.

News Corp's board, overseen by chairman Rupert Murdoch, met on Wednesday and an announcement was expected later on Thursday on the decision to create two publicly traded companies, the source said, confirming a report in the Wall Street Journal.
Ever unpredictable, Murdoch, after years of resisting calls by some large shareholders to spin out or sell off the company's slow-growth - and in some cases, loss-making - newspapers, decided to propose the move rather suddenly.

Mercedes Benz SL 500

Let's get straight to the point; Mercedes's new SL is one of those cars that immediately feels right. Nothing to assimilate, or acclimatise to, simply an immediacy that speaks of engineers looking pleased with themselves and a hell of a lot of boxes ticked. The art of the unobtrusively useful. Mind you, it should be pretty well honed by now - the SL is 60 years old. Merc's had some time to get the recipe right.

How To: Buy A Custom-Made Shirt

At least once in his life, a man should have a dress shirt (or two -- or five) custom made. Of course, this endeavor tends to be an expensive one, so you might need to save up or wait for an appropriate occasion. As long as you engage the services of a reputable tailor, however, the unbeatable fit and the attention to detail that goes into making a shirt that suits you perfectly is well worth what you'll spend.





Unfortunately, not knowing where to start or what to expect can turn this otherwise unique experience rather sour -- and is likely to keep you from even trying it out to begin with.
That's why we consulted Marybeth Luber, CEO of indiTailored, a top-quality custom apparel maker, to give us the lowdown on how to buy a custom-made shirt.

Find a reputable tailor

To find a tailor that you can trust, begin by asking around in your circle of friends or at work among colleagues with sartorial savvy. After you've rounded up a few promising prospects, pay a visit to each tailor and ask to see samples of their work. Inquire about which fit and collar type would work best  for your body type and face. A good tailor should have no difficulty determining which style of shirt will meet your personal preferences for comfort and most flatter your bone structure, proportions and physique. Additionally, good tailors will always take your measurements, so if you come across one that doesn't offer this prerequisite as part of their routine service, keep looking.
