AMAA 2011: Ama K Abebrese Beats Genevieve Nnaji, Omoni Oboli & Others To Win ‘Best Actress’ In Africa As Majid Michel & Yvonne Okoro Miss Out On Glory!

Before the winners of the 2011 AMAA was declared yesterday in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson, a co-winner [with Jackie Appiah and Naa Ashorkor] of the AMAA Best Actress Award last year expectation was to see another Ghanaian pick that award.

She said: “It’s a very tight competition but I’m hoping Ghana will come up with great awards. It will be great to hand over to another great actress from Ghana”, she said to GhanaCelebrities.Com few hours to the awards.

True to her wish, her compatriot Ama K. Abebrese was adjudged as the Best Actress in Africa for her role in ‘Sinking Sands’. The actress whose role in the movie was her first major role was picked ahead of her colleagues in a tight category which comprises of Nollywood heavyweights Genevieve Nnaji (Tango With Me), Omoni Oboli (Anchor Baby), Idiat Shobande (Aramotu) as well as Congolese Manie Malone (Viva Riva) and South African Denise Newman (Shirley Adams).

‘Sinking Sands’ also won for Ghana ‘AMAA Best Achievement In Makeup’ and ‘Best Screenplay’. ‘Viva Riva’, a movie from Congo topped the night with 6 awards. The Best Actor and Best Supporting awards were picked from the movie. The director of the movie Djo Tunda Wa Munga was picked as the Best Director. The movie also won ‘Best Production Design’, ‘Best Cinematography’ and overall award ‘Best Film’.

For Majid Michel, his hopes of picking the Best Actor to add up to the ‘Best Actor’ he won at the 2010 Ghana Movie Awards and 2010 edition of the Zulu African Festival Academy Awards was dashed by South African actor Themba Ndaba. Ghanaian actor Ekow Blankson was also nominated in the category of “Best Actor” which he missed out.

Is Ga Rapper Tinny Divorcing His Wife Over Nagging?

 
The name Tinny is synonymous to hard core Ga rap. It is a name known by every music lover in Ghana. Even though the rapper has paid his quota to the hip life game, tagging him as the best Ga lyricist or best Ga rapper in Ghana will be contentious or highly laughable, at least from where I’m standing.

There is no competition for Tinny now and from the viewpoint of many, he looks jaded, lack focus and probably looking for an early retirement from the game; others also believe that he is on top of his game for the simple reason that he is the only rapper currently rapping in Ga. It’s very glaring that nobody rules when there is no competition for the person to prove himself.

Though his real name is Nii Addo Quaynor, he has several nicknames such as Aletse Kankpe, Fire Starter, Buffalo Soldier and Dreadlock Kankpe, Sexy Tinny and now Bard man. His ingenuity of constantly mentioning of ‘Ricky Naa Badu Nakutso Bi’ in honour of his parents has endeared him into the hearts of many, not only people who speak the Ga language.

In one of his songs which he calls “Ngbe Yei Yoo” literally meaning “Where Are The Girls?”, Tinny praised women and asked of their location, so he and his boys can be with them.

He admonished, advised and warned his boys to hold tight their women and not let them go. At one point in the song, he said the sweetest thing in the world is in the waist of women. Hmm!

So with all these counsels and sweet words, GhanaCelebrities.com asked, what happened to Tinny? Credible information reaching GhanaCelebrities.com has it that Ga rapper Tinny is on the verge of parting ways with his wife. This difficult decision has come up as the result of the constant misunderstanding between the two.

According to our source, Tinny and his wife for years have been staying at the rapper’s parent’s house at Haatso. His wife was said not to be comfortable with this arrangement and constantly complained to Tinny for the need for them to move to their own apartment and enjoy their marriage life.

Of all these years, Tinny has turned deaf ears to her plight according to the source. For Tinny, nagging is part of women so he sees that as normal hence turning deaf to it.

However, the woman whose name was given as Thelma has been complaining because, their house is always filled to the brim by Tinny’s friends (boys boys), this according to her is not her definition of a marriage home.

For Mrs. Tinny who has a child with the rapper, she wants to live peacefully somewhere with her husband where his friends (boys boys) will not come around to disturb their privacy and peace all the time.

According to our source, it is even scary that some of these friends also stay in the same house with them and for her it’s just a turn off.

It doesn’t look clear as to whether the couple would want to divorce or continue with their marriage. Marriage life is simply not easy and we hope Tinny is not taking the feelings of his wife for granted.
Talking to the manager of the Ga rapper who won the Ghana Movie Awards Discovery of the Year at the 2004 edition of the awards, Richard Agyemang Berko said the news is not true and should be treated as just a rumour.

We better hope indeed this news is not true and remain just a rumour. Hmm!

‘Twixted’, First Ghana & Liberia Movie To Be Premiered At TV3 Executive Theatre…



When one wants to watch an African movie, its either Ghanaian or Nigerian movie that comes in mind. I have always complained, advocated and shown my strong aversions to the TV stations in Ghana for only showing Ghanaian and Nigerian movies when actually it’s supposed to be African movies slot. My argument has always been that movies from the above named countries alone do not represent Africa. We need to be presented with what the other African countries are also doing in terms of movies.

Over the years African movie fanatics have been introduced with collaborations from the Ghanaian and Nigerian movie industries. This movement has promoted both industries not only in those two countries but beyond the shores of Africa. Two heads indeed is better than one.

Africans are about to be introduced to another collaboration which if guarded well will go a long way to benefit those industries. Liberians naturally likes Ghanaian movies and it wasn’t surprise that they are collaborating with the Ghanaian movie Industry.

Synopsis:
‘Twixted’ is the first ever Ghanaian – Liberian collaboration movie. It was produced by Temela K. Production and was shot in Ghana. ‘Twixted’ tells story of a young man’s dreams of becoming a professional footballer. Achieving such status comes with its own struggles.

After fulfilling his dreams of becoming a professional player, his joy was shuttered by a gift of pain.
He gains in vain the love of another to his doom. Will he exchange his agony with love in the hands of a dishonest woman? ‘The greatest mistake in a man’s life is to marry the wrong woman’.

Starring:
‘Twixted’ stars Ghana Movie Awards 2010, Best Actor In A Lead Role and Best Actor In The Supporting Role nominees Eddie Nartey and Gavivina Tamakloe respectively. It also features Ghanaian actress Victoria Zugah as well as from Liberia Bill Meyers, Amelia Flumo and Grace Nuapa.

Grand Premiere:
The grand premiere is slated for Saturday February 12, 2011 at the TV3 GAMA Films -Executive Theatre starting at 11: 30am to 9:45 pm. Pick a ticket at Joy FM Front Desk or Call 0244 710423 and TV3 Front Desk, Kanda

New Movie: H.M. Films’ ‘Who Owns Da City’? Premieres @ Silver Bird Cinema On February 25



One of the pioneers of the Ghana Movie Industry, Hammond Mensah of H. M. Films is ready to premiere and release to the general public it’s latest action packed thriller movie with the title ‘Who Own Da City’.

Watching the movie with fellow entertainment journalists with an eagle eye, it was clear why Mr. Hammond Mensah had invested so much in the movie, it was because he needed to make an impact after several years of being on the quiet.

Also, I believe it was a call to his other producers that, indeed movies such as ‘Who Owns Da City’ can be produced down here in Ghana.

If Ghanaians have been calling for Ghana movie makers to move away from their normal mediocre way of doing movies and think outside the box and produce different movies then surely this movie will not go unnoticed and will make the needed impact.

It has always been sad watching a Ghanaian movie only to realize that the actual story was copied from an Indian movie. Plagiarism has found its sad face into the budding Ghana Movie Industry. With creativity at its peak, there are lots of stories in Ghana that can be tackled and good movies churned out from.

The ‘copy-this-copy-that syndrome must be stopped. Stories can harness from what goes on in the country. Love is not the only subject to make movies on.

For instance, Ghana was the hub for various drugs, especially cocaine and heroine some years ago. Security officials who had interest in the drug dealings renegade on their promise to protect the constitution of the land by rather collaborating and protection the interest of the drug peddlers.

‘Who Owns Da City’ is story of greed, lust, betrayal and murder. Nail biting, fist clinging, filled with nerve racking suspense. The drug trade has just gotten out of hand. Bribery at the highest level, corruption nibbles at the very hem of the city’s survival.

Who has what it takes to put an end to the creeping injustice that threatens to push the city into total chaos.

‘Who Owns Da City’ stars veterans George Williams, David Dontoh and Fred Amugi. It featured established actors like Kofi Adjorlolo, Ekow Smith Asante, Martha Ankomah, Nadia Buari, Omar De 1st, introducing Charles Bruce Tagoe and Samir Kodar Agha.

The direction of the movie was trusted in the hands of the experienced Nigerian director Ifeanyi Inyeabor and he didn’t disappoint.

‘Who Owns Da City’ is an eye opener to other movie makers that it pays to invest productions. It premieres at the SILVER BIRD CINEMA on 25th February, 2011.

Mimi Davilish To Launch Charity Fashion Show ‘Divalish Fashions’

Mimi's New Look

She was born and christened Wilhelmina Abu Andani but known in the entertainment circles as Mimi Davilish. She has since 2009 and 2010 been tagged as not too good when it comes to her dressing; especially what she wears on stage
She has been constantly attacked by people from all walks of life. People say her taste of fashion is nothing to write home about. From her hair to makeup and choice of clothes are said to be unappealing. But the singer seems to give this feedback ‘I don’t care what people say about me’.

This is 2011 and it seems the ‘Leave Me Alone’ singer now cares a big deal what people are saying as she plan to launch her Charity Fashion Show dubbed ‘Divalish Fashions’.

It will be baloney for someone to dress another person well, while he or she gets stuck in his/her old way of dressing, which people consider as bad. I hope you get my drift here. This means Mimi’s sense of fashion will be improved when she eventually launch her fashion and clothing line.

Speaking to GhanaCelebrities.com in a calm exciting voice on the telephone, after being discharged from the hospital for a short illness, she said “The programme is going to be a Charity Fashion Show by Davilish Fashions.”




The launch of the show is on Saturday 12 February 2010 at the Galaxy Lounge of the A&C Shopping Mall at East Legon at 7:00pm prompt. The night will give the singer the opportunity to showcase and introduce into the fashion industry, a new fashion flavour called the ‘DIVALISH BRAND’, a range of clothing line.

“There will also be an OPEN MARKET between (10:00am-7:00pm) at the venue for sales and marketing of the fashion wear products. In the evening from 7pm-11pm will be a Run Way & Live Music Event.” This, the former Big Brother Africa housemate said will be strictly by invitation.

Also, “There will be red carpet with Studio 53 extra.” She said on the phone.

She further said, another segment of the programme will be the celebrity wear section where celebrities like Sheila, Tatiana, Uti, of Big Brother Africa fame will wear and model in her clothes. Also to wear her clothes are her label mates V.I.P. and 4X4, as well as Nikki, Ruweida, Nana Akua and more to be confirmed later.

She told GhanaCelebrities.com that the celebrities will model in the clothes to raise funds for charity.

Stars Of The Future Season 5 Launched! Contestants Ready To Impress…

After failing to bring to Ghanaians what has been acceptable and regarded as Ghana’s answer to American Idol show with the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as an excuse, Charter House has duly launched the fifth edition of the Stars of the Future show.

They had the luxury of still going on with the show after the World Cup but thought it wise to call it off and do it this year so that, the attention will be geared towards developing the talents into future stars who will take over and own the music industry in Ghana.

Watching the final 12 talented contestants speak at the launch at GhOne Studios about why they had decided to be part of this Stars of the Future reality show instead of the any other reality show, they all seemed to acknowledge the fact that, this musical show will open the door, give them the exposure and help them in the realization of their dreams.

The 12 contestants were drawn from nationwide search last year after three rounds of intensive auditions. They were picked out from 30 contestants who had qualified for the semi finals. As they gather to do R. Kelly’s ‘World Greatest’, I knew talents had arrived.

The 12 finalists are; Abigail Bih, Asantewaah Essel, Daniella Dankwah-Coffie (Niiella), David De-Graft Crentsil, Elizabeth Joseph, Emmanuel Yawson, Grace Ocansey, Henry Nuamah, Kwame Wiredu, Rauhel Halidou Yacouba, Reynolds Kwame Addow and Wiyaala Noela.

Viewers of the show will have 13 weeks of thrills and excitement including 10 weeks of evictions. The judges for the show are radio presenter-Doreen Andoh, music producer Zapp Mallet and CEO of EKB records, Kiki Banson.

Over the years, Stars of the Future has become a platform for budding talents to harness their skills and also realize their dreams of becoming mainstream musicians.

The new host Sedem Ofori of Joy FM fits well in the shoes as a host. Adina, Irene Logan, Efya graced the beautiful but short launch ceremony.

Hitz Discovery Reality Show Maiden Edition! My Thoughts

Hitz FM Discovery

I thought it was only when someone wins a competition via voting that in most cases the winner’s triumph is doubted since with voting the winner did not necessary have to be good; all the person needs to grab are the votes. However, the judges of the Hitz Discovery have proved that indeed one didn’t need to do or have more to be a winner in a competition such as Hitz Discovery Reality Show.

Over the weekend GhanaCelebrities.com was invited to witness the grand finale of the above named reality show, which came off at the forecourt of His Majesty Hotel, opposite the Ghana International Trade Fair Centre.

The program was scheduled to start at exactly 7:00pm but Ghanaians disregard for time made sure the show started two hours late. When yours truly got to the venue, it was virtually empty at 7pm. So I guess it was a good thing the organizers waited for the tickets buyers to come and by so doing salvaged their investment.


Honestly, I’m not an avid listener of radio. After I witnessed the launch of the ‘Hitz Discovery’ reality show late last year; I had not paid any attention to the progress of the show until the finals. So I knew nothing about the finalists. I went to the venue to watch and to tell. And that’s exactly what I’m about to do.

As I sat close to the DJ box with my legs crossed, holding a pen and notepad ready to scribble, I knew I was ready for the show and prayed that, the judges will not play the ‘favouritism tactics’ and favour a contestant.

There should be a level playing field for every contestant. The Hitz Discovery Grand Finale is one of the shows which from my perspective started with already a winner, a certain Prince Hlordzi but as to why the crown eluded him at the end is beyond my understanding. Indeed I thought it was very strange.

Before the show started, the previously evicted contestants joined the 6 finalists to perform a song they had pre-recorded for the reality show. Watching them closely during their performance I wondered why some of them didn’t make it to the finals.

But I answered myself; they couldn’t get enough votes to catapult them to the finals. I bet I’m right! This is just by the way. When eventually the competition commenced, I was obliged to ask again how some of finalists managed to make it to the finals.

First Round:
There were two intensive rounds. All contestants performed copyright songs they had picked for themselves. Prince Hlordzi performed one of Sarkodie’s songs.

Watching him perform brings out the argument: Is there a fastest rapper in Ghana? Perhaps Ghana has more ‘fastest rappers’ now. He did justice to the song as if he owned it. His performance was what I’d tag as a winning performance.

The next contestant Woeli Segbefia, as a Dance Hall ‘wanna be’ performed Samini’s ‘Sweet Mistake’. From where I sat and the reaction I got from the audience, he made a sweet mistake by choosing that song.
He ended up shouting needlessly. He just lost it. I thought the judges would put it blatantly to him and teach him the difference between singing/rapping and reciting but they passed and praised him for a lovely show.
 
Ernest Ankomah the next to be on stage paraded himself as ‘Berbon Fly’ (hope I got the spelling right) also lost it in the first round. He tried something from Okomfour Kwadee but I thought he shouted instead of singing/rapping.

One interesting thing was that he had the luxury of touching on about 3 of Okomfour’s songs and yet failed miserably. Too bad but truth be told. His dressing too seemed inappropriate for the occasion.
After his performance, a voice behind said “Is this a High School competition?”

David Addy was one of the few singers of the night. He performed Jay Ghartey’s ‘My Lady’. During and after his performance, it was blatantly obvious that Jay Ghartey wasn’t the person performingthe song.

Though he managed to get the only female judge to nod her head and feet, the other judges failed to tell him that in musical world, diction is very important. Come on, if it was Mark Okraku Mantey or Simon Cowell of American Idol, he would have told him in the face.

Hagar Adjei, the only female of the night performed a song from gospel songstress Gifty Osei. She tried her best to excel but it seemed it wasn’t good enough to pierce through the male-dominating competition.
Her genre of music suits her well. If dress was the yardstick to judge, she would have come on top.

Augustine Afrifa performed Konfi’s ‘Like Father Like Son’ track. He wasn’t smart enough to have picked that song, since the rap duo, Konfi had already come on stage to perform the same song beforethe show started.

I’m sure the audience noticed the difference and I side with them wholeheartedly. He could have done better.
And throughout this round, the judges towed the same line of ‘praising praising’ instead of ‘castigating or praising’. Come on.

Second Round:
Again after the first round, I wondered how some of the finalists qualified to the finals. I don’t know if the organizers sponsored the contestants to record their own songs but in the second round, the contestants were given the chance to perform their own songs.

Talking about own songs, it’s a song that has the lyrics written and sang by the contestant. But in this case some of them were given instrumentation to rap with.

For instance, instead of Prince performing his own song, he rather picked Bradez’s ‘Simple’ instrumentation. Though not actually his real song, he just fitted in his raps well and convinced the people enough of his willingness to ascend the crown.

Woelie should have been thrown out of the competition in this round. The guy picked Gyptian’s ‘Hold Yuh’ beat and made nonsense out of it. It was boring listening to him ‘ragging’ profane and swearing words. Yet the judges thought he had given out a good performance. What a joke!

Ernest, David and Augustine came in with their own songs. The songs were not that bad but they were not the kind of song that people would like to listen to. I dare say those songs would be flushed out if they got to Y-FM.

The fact that it was their own songs got the judges praise and usual words. Hagar Adjei performed another gospel song which sounded like hers. Pardon me, I’m not too into gospel music.


According to the judges after the second round, three contestants namely Prince Hlodzi, Hagar Adjei and Ernest Ankomah scored 95 each.

Indeed yours truly and majority of the audience concurred with the judges but as to why it was a tie was another issue. The other three who scored less were eliminated as the other three made their way to the next round.

To break the tie, the three were given the chance to impress the judges to enable the winner to be declared.
This round was forced as a result of the judges’ inability to get an outright winner though many thought the first two rounds should have provided the winners.

This round provided the contestants the opportunity to repeat their second round performance. Prince and Hagar were in the normal best.

Ernest on the other hand was wise enough to say ‘thank you’ to Vodafone for sponsoring the event as well as thanking the judges instead of performing.

Interestingly, he was declared winner after that ‘thank you’ performance with 105 points, which meant the other two still had to go to a round four to break their tie.

It would be over the bar to think the judges made up of Jamie Adjetey of Joy FM’s Multitrack Show, Georgina Bimpong, an Artiste Manageress and Ahuma Bosco Ocansey, Programmes Director of Hitz FM have their interest in the competition but why couldn’t they mark the other two in the same round as they marked Ernest?

I thought that was a waste of time and it stretched the program unnecessarily. If Ernest could be declared the winner for just praising the title sponsors and the judges then I wonder what would have happened if all the contestants had descended that way.

Hitz Discovery was launched with the sole aim of discovering musical talents. I believe there is a big difference between an underground artiste and a new discovery.

Underground artiste is someone who has been on the scene for long, the person is not necessarily a new act, he or she has just gotten to the mainstream whiles a new discovery is a fresh talent who has just been discovered. With my little definition, I dare say that, the judges erred in declaring Ernest as the winner.

GhanaCelebrities.Com’s check indicates that, he has been an underground artiste for many years. One of the people I spoke to said “Which DJ doesn’t know Berbon Fly in Ghana?”

Prince probably deserved the crown but I will pause a minute here to give Ernest a chance. I forgot one thing, that’s the difference between myself and the judges.

I only have the voice to complain but as to whether people listen is another issue. For them their final say matters.

For their prizes, Ernest Ankomah won a home theater, a deal to produce and promote his own album, a one year promotional package on all Multimedia Group Limited (MGL) platforms worth GH¢20,000, in addition to two music video production and a six-month promotion on Multi TV worth GH¢15,000.

Prince Hlordzi, the first runner up went home with a HI-FI system, promotional campaign on all MGL stations worth GH¢20,000 whiles Hagar Adjei, second runner up went home with a palm top computer and a promotional package on all MGL stations worth GH¢20,000.

How can I end this review without mentioning of the performances by Kwabena Kwabena, Akoo Nana, Nana Boro, Tic Tac, Obour, Stay Jay, Konfi and I did enjoy the show despite my misgivings.
