Black Panther Star Wins MTV’s Best Hero Award

Superhero movie “Black Panther” made a killing at the MTV Movie & TV Awards winning four trophies.
Black Panther,” the predominantly black movie that has taken more than $1.3 billion at the global box-office, won best movie, best villain for Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger, and best performance and hero for star Chadwick Boseman.
Boseman, who plays the leader of the fictional African nation of Wakanda, gave his trophy to a man with no Hollywood connections on Monday.
Boseman said: “An award for best hero is amazing but it’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes we have in real life.”
He brought on stage James Shaw Jr., a 29-year-old electrician who overpowered a gunman who killed four people at a Waffle House outlet in Nashville in April to save the lives of more customers.
“This is gonna live at your house,” Boseman said, handing the trophy to Shaw.
He said: “Black Panther” actor Winston Duke thanked fans for supporting the movie, which has smashed Hollywood doubts about the broader appeal of black films to become the third highest-grossing film of all time in North America.
“Thank you all for investing not just in a beautiful story but for investing in a continued conversation on what this industry and what this culture can achieve.
The youth-oriented MTV network, known for its irreverent award shows, again dispensed with gender classifications, placing men and women together in performance categories in a move to embrace equality and gender fluidity.
“Stranger Things” was named best TV show and Millie Bobby Brown, 14, won best TV performance for her role as Eleven.
The British teenager, who deleted her Twitter account last week after a slew of hate-filled comments, used her acceptance speech to speak out against bullying.
Brown said: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, just don’t say it. There should be no space in this world for bullying and I’m not going to tolerate it, and neither should you.”
The MTV awards feature blockbuster movie and popular TV shows and has established itself as …

Ubi Franklin finally opens up on failed marriage to actress Lilian Esoro

Actress Lilian Esoro’s ex-husband, Ubi Franklin, has finally opened up after divorcing his estranged wife. Ubi, in a mature way on Instagram, seems to have revealed what went wrong in their marriage.

“When we put up with each other without love, then the result is grudges, resentment, hate, and a general dislike for others. Putting up with each other in love looks different. Our failure to bear with one another in love is why all sorts of relationships fail. Friends, we need to admit something. People are going to irritate us. And I know it is hard for you to imagine but you irritate people sometimes too. We would like to think that everyone else is the problem. But we need to consider that the problem is you.

Can you imagine living with you? Can you imagine being around you with all of our quirks and idiosyncrasies? We must stop living with unreasonable expectations of others. We do not place these expectations on ourselves. We must stop living with unreasonable expectations of others. We do not place these expectations on ourselves.

MURIC Backs Down From Suing Falz Over ‘This Is Nigeria’ Video

The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has backed down on its plans to sue popular Nigerian rapper Falz over his controversial This is Nigeria video.

The Muslim group had earlier given Falz a 7-day ultimatum to take down the viral video. However in a new statement released by the group, they are backing down from the threat and want the case to be handled by the censor’s board.

Read the statement below:

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) last week resolved to sue Folarin Falana (Falz the Bahd Guy), a Nigerian artist, who produced the video song titled ‘This is Nigeria’ in which a Fulani man was seen beheading somebody. The video also featured hijab-wearing female choreographers dancing the ‘shaku-shaku’ (a dance associated with drug). A seven-day ultimatum was given for the withdrawal of the video and an apology failing which a legal tussle would be launched.

Our office has since been inundated with solidarity visits, while our telephone lines have been flooded with a deluge of calls from members, friends, well-wishers, journalists and other concerned Nigerians, majority of whom are of the Islamic faith.

In view of the intervention of these well-meaning Nigerians, counseling from several quarters and commitments given by us to those who interfaced with us on this matter, an emergency meeting of MURIC’s Think-Tank was convened on Sunday, June 10, 2018 to review the situation.

In deference to pleas made by well-meaning Nigerians, in order to keep faith with our avowed motto (Dialogue, Not Violence) and to further confirm that MURIC is a listening, mature and responsible organization committed to promoting peace in Nigeria, the Think-Tank resolved to drag the artist to government agencies saddled with the responsibility of censoring films and videos. It is not a U-turn but a sudden change in tactics.

This will have a more enduring impact not only on Falz but the entire entertainment industry. It will also make the agencies sit up to their responsibilities and inject a huge dose of discipline in the music and film industries in general.

Kate Spades,Suicide Note Blames Death On Husband

“Bea – I have always loved you. This is not your fault. Ask Daddy!”, this was the note Kate Spade left for her 13-year old daughter, Frances Beatrix, before she hung herself on the closet door.

Kate Spade was found hanged in her bedroom and it has now been revealed that she committed suicide out of depression. According to her sister, she had suffered manic depression for about four years but refused to get help because she didn’t want it to damage her brand.

According to TMZ, the popular fashion designer was extremely depressed in her last days of life, also because her husband wanted a divorce. Kate Spade and husband Andy Spade, who married in 1994, were already separated and Andy was not living at the family home. He was living in a nearby apartment. Andy reportedly wanted a divorce but Kate didn’t.

This bit of information makes her suicide note particularly interesting and possibly revealing. It’s unclear what Kate meant by the words “Ask Daddy!”  Though, one interpretation is that he knows why she ended her life.

Her body was found by the housekeeper, hanging from a red scarf tied to a closet doorknob in the bedroom. She was unresponsive and cold to the touch. The housekeeper ran downstairs to the building’s main floor to tell the building’s superintendent who rushed upstairs, cut the scarf and attempted CPR. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband, Andy Spade, brother of actor and comedian David Spade, was home at the time.…
