What Is Wrong With These Pictures? Is Vicky Zugah Limited As An Actress Because Of Her Tattoo?

Vicky Zugah

I will say yes to the above question. Don’t get me wrong here; dark looking ladies turns me on for whatever reasons. But I admire actress Vicky Zugah even though she is fair, for her sheer fun loving nature. Aside that, she is one of the down-to -earth actresses in the country.

I’m not a fan of tattoos, yes but the tattoo on her left arm is beautiful. I don’t see why a dark looking person should go for a tattoo but for Vicky and her complexion, it’s just nice on her.

But how is the tattoo affecting her as an actress? Even though she is not necessarily a bad actress compared to some of the bad actresses in the industry, the tattoo has limited her to role certain roles; bad girl roles. She has become a typecast.

Now Vicky Zugah is not getting the roles. In GhanaCelebrities.Com’s chit chat with some producers and directors, they seem to share our sentiments. Hmmm what else is there to say?

Honestly do you also think Vicky is not getting many roles because her unhiddden tattoo gives her away easily?

Praye’s Cock & Bull Story: Why Can’t Ghanaian Musicians Work Together?

 

Sometimes I wonder why Ghanaian musicians cannot work together. The news of Hip Life trio Praye’s break-up came as a surprise to many, myself included because I have been a staunch follower of them.

When it comes to the number of hits any group has had over the years since the introduction of Hip Life, aside Buk Bak and VIP, the next group that comes in mind with so many hit songs are Praye, made up of Praye Tenten, Praye Ho Ne Ho and Praye Tiatia; real names real name Nana Adu Koranteng, Eugene Baah and Steven Fiawoo.

After several months of the break up, Praye Tenten has come up to speak on the break up. In doing so he denied all the allegations levelled against him by former mates, that he has grown wings hence the reason why he went solo.

He told Graphic Showbiz that, Eugene, the leader of the group told him, he didn’t want to see him around the group again because of a supposed issue. It is not clear whether the issue has to be with their normal girls-chasing-spree or whether it has to do with money sharing.

He said “I feel very bad that the two are treating me this way. The three of us have suffered in bringing up the group this far and I don’t think this is what I deserve after my contribution to the group”.

Explaining what happened. He said someone insulted their leader [Eguene], after which he and Eugene went to deal with the fellow. He continued that later he was asked to apologise and after his apology, the same Eugene told him he can’t be part of the group again. How possible? Read more.

Eugene on the other hand denies the allegation with “I don’t know why he keeps saying I kicked him out of the group, I never did that and will never do that, we are a group who were doing so well so why would I do such a thing” Eugene explained.

Seriously what’s the logic in this? When Nigerian acts always get hits upon hits and take big money to perform in Ghana, what the Ghanaian artistes will do is to fight themselves huh? How pathetic, but seriously why can’t Ghanaian artistes work together?

Part 1: Celebrities Talk To GC About Their Expectations For 2012!

2011 has come and gone. It was a good year for most people whiles others continue to bemoan about the fact that they hardly made the needed impact as they got few success.

GhanaCelebrities.Com spoke with various personalities in the movie, music, comedy and fashion industry. Below are what some of your favourite celebrities had to say about their expectation for 2012.

Ama K. Abebrese [Actress]:
Better quality and better story lines that can crossover to different markets. I think the bar has been raised with some good movies in 2011, so we have to keep upgrading
However, I feel there is a market for local movies of lower quality and that will continue because they have their audience.

Shirley Frimpong Manso [Writer, Director  & Producer]:
My expectation is to see a more professional driven Movie Industry where actors will challenge themselves with meaningful roles and stronger performances and directors and writers inspired to write life changing stories for them.

John Dumelo [Actor]:
Closer to God, do very good movies, do more charity work and also make sure that J.Melo products  are found in every shop around the world.

Okyeame Quophi [Musician & Music Video Director]:
To me 2012 holds a lot for the Ghana Music Industry. 2011 introduced Azonto and replaced GH rap with its own kind of music. Up tempo Afro rhyme with infectious hooks and choruses. I see an extension of which 2011 started but I also foresee the spotlight on kids between 6 and 15 taking centre stage and drawing lots of crowds.

Considering that our industry is a total reflection of what happens in America, the success of Willow and Jayden Smith will definitely be repeated but in our Ghanaian terms. Don’t be surprised if I start the movement.
Given the track record of Bice Osei Kuffour [MUSIGA President] I have a strong feeling something major will happen that will shape and change the industry for better. At least Obour owes that to us who supported his vision and gave him power. Happy New Year comrades.

Roger Quartey [Actor, Production Manager & Producer] of Roger Q Production:
From the studios of Roger Q Productions, we say Happy New Year and a creative 2012. Our Movie Industry has seen great transformation in the last few years. We should not use our God given talent to compete among ourselves but rather bring collective ideas to enhance our artistic works for the international markets.

My expectation  this year is for us to expand our marketing scope. There are lot of distributing channels to exploit. We should not just release our movies but send them for world premieres and film festivals. I am also appealing to stakeholders of this esteem industry to sacrifice a little as far as their expertise contributes in sharpening our industry. Long live Ghana. Long live our Movie Industry.

James Gardiner [Actor]:
To become a movie icon that most people will look up to especially the youth.

Beverly Afaglo [Actress]:
To make more movies and make more money.

Juliet Ibrahim [Actress]:
I have so many great expectations but i will be a doer this year in order to achieve these expectations. One of them is to work on the successful awareness campaign of my kidney cancer foundation worldwide and the rest. I leave up to God because would be full of surprises.

Roselyn Ngissah [Actress]:
The Movie Industry has been growing over the years and in the right direction. My expectations this year is that every department that contributes to the making of a movie and the industry must as a matter of fact step up their game both technically and artistically.

Whether it be Make-Up, Costume, Directing, Acting, Production Management etc. We have done well over the years, from international nominations and awards. But there is still room for better performance.

Chichi [Actress]:
I want to believe that, 2012 is my year. I have been in the industry for so long but still no breakthrough but I have a strong feelings that God is about to change my story.

In 2012, nobody is going to suppress me. Enough of the suppression and all that. All those who have been suppressing me died in 2011, so it’s my time to shine; yes my set time is here.

God is going to use stringer to make it happen for me. I also blessed God for all friends who we all started together but became successful. I am also going to be successful this year. I am not jealous of anyone but rather happy for all my friends and hope as God is about to bless me through the eyes of faith. No one should envy me; yes I’m speaking through the eyes of faith.

Pascal Amanfo [Actor & Movie Director]:
A year of better opportunities, more challenging projects and a greater insistence of improved technicalities.

Adjetey ‘Pusher’ Anang [Actor]:
Hope that more Ghana actors/actresses will break into Movie Industries beyond Africa.
Now you know what they are expecting, are they achievable? We will bring you what the other celebrities are also expecting soon!

2011 In Review: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly!

We are in the days when reviews upon reviews keep flying everywhere on the World Wide Web. And as you know GhanaCelebrities.Com is ahead of the game hence the reason why we are bringing you the reviews before the rest…

There is a line that is synonymous with reviews these days in Ghana. Every review seems to start with “this year has been a good year”. I will not hesitate to use the same line because 2011 indeed has been a good year, in fact a superb year.

It has been a great year for us at GhanaCelebrities.Com. It was a year that we created hundred enemies and made millions of friends, love ones and families. Unlike 2010 which was a tough year, 2011 was the direct opposite. It’s a great feeling when you do something in your corner and someone out there notices and acknowledges your effort.

If you didn’t know, when GhanaCelebrities.Com hit the World Wide Web, people started running their entire website with our stories. Our dominance in entertainment reportage in Ghana was acknowledged by several people in and outside Ghana. For instance we were one of the media houses in Ghana who were invited by the organisers of the Africa Movie Academy Awards [AMAA] in Nigeria in March.

We have stepped on lots of toes but what are toes if not meant to be stepped on.

Here is a little highlight of events that happened in 2011 in the Ghana Entertainment Industry tagged ‘the good’, ‘the bad’, and ‘the ugly’.

… The Good!

Ghana’s most influential radio personality, Nathaniel Kwabena Adisi a.k.a. Bola Ray, TV3 leading female anchor, Nana Aba Anamoah and Former IBF Welterweight champion, Joshua Clottey  were unveil as the ambassadors of SOS Children’s Villages Ghana. This was a wonderful thing to do because those three are influential and so far its paying dividends to the school.

Actress Ama K Abebrese was able to beat the likes of Nollywood actresses Genevieve Nnaji, Omoni Oboli and others to win ‘Best Actress’ In Africa in the movie Sinking Sands.

Fellow entertainment critic Francis Doku organised the Most Popular Entertainer Of Ghana (MPEG) to award personalities who have distinguished themselves in their chosen field of endeavour.
The idea behind the honours was great. At the end of the day the likes of Agya Koo, Asamoah Gyan, Funny Face and co were honoured.

Actor John Dumelo donated to the Wa Based School on his birthday and sets out to build for the School 5 Classrooms estimated to cost $40,000.

Hip life grand papa Reggie Rockstone joined the likes of Tic Tac to stage a musical festival to ‘Save A Heart’.

2011 was like the year for charity and foundation, the likes of Mimi Divalish launched her Charity Fashion School ‘Divalish Fashions’. She said proceeds will be donated to a charity. She brought to Ghana some former Big Brother Africa housemates.

Actress Yvonne Nelson was slapped with a year ban for failing to shoot because of waivers granted to her fellow actress Jackie Appiah. Even though some of us supported the ban initially, we concurred later that it was grievous. The ban was lifted after 9 months.

Finally, our own Confidence Haugen, the CEO of the biggest night club in Ghana went to the Big Brother Africa house. Her selection was melt with disapproval from Ghanaians yet she went ahead to became one of the country best house mates in the BBA series.

… The Bad!

Still on the needless noise about the Ghana Movie Awards cars, Jackie Appiah opted out the sharing of the car. Many felt she was being ‘too known’ for pulling out of the sharing of the cars.

Actress Ama K. Abebrese was rumoured to be dating Kwadwo Asamoah of Black Stars, she denied it. So how long will ladies denied guys? Yvonne Nelson is known for denying every man he is associated with and yet these women claim to be 100% single, and probably actively looking.

When Stephanie Karikari won Miss Ghana 2010, many lambasted the organisers and insulted her claiming she doesn’t have the beauty to be crown as such.

Kofi Adjorlolo and Ekow Smith were handed two years ban for their involvement in a movie production by a Nigerian outfit. The ban was however lifted after several months.

… And The Ugly!

It was indeed sad as the entertainment industry lost some of its best players. These include the likes of Bob J, a playwright Efo Kodjo Mawugbe and actor Gilbert Karikari of Kejetia TV series.

Juliet Ibrahim attacked a journalist for refusing to give her a front page prominence in their newspapers.

Multiple award winning writer cum director Leila Djansi threatens to sue GhanaCelebrities.Com for invading her privacy on facebook. For various reasons I will not talk more on this but I find it very laughable.

Lastly, promising female rapper Tiffany Hayden managed to get her naked photos leaked by failing to delete them after taking and sending them to her boyfriend in London…The photos were slapped with several insolent comments such as ‘her boobs no fine too’.

As a result of the above, GhanaCelebrities.Com crowns Tiffany Hayden the official “Dumb Ass Queen of 2011” for the naked photos leakage. Our  2010′s ‘Dumb Ass Queen’  Yvonne Nelson can now hand over the crown to our dear Tiffany Hayden…

Below are GC’s winners for 2011! You are free to disagree …
