And we have been trying to figure out who these housemates could be. Then we got this picture of the housemates from behind and its hard to tell. People have been making different guesses and we have heard names like Ofunneka, Code, Kwaku, Richard, Mwisho, Munya et all. But regardless i can swear that the back view of the dread locked guy in front is that of Richard (BBA2 winner).

9ice versus 9ice to sell his new album for 2,000 naira!

The album he says is an international edition and just like Tuface Idibia did with his version, he is following suit, but unlike Tubaba who sold for One thousand naira, he is going double.

I think this is a big risk, Tuface selling for a thousand was reasonable, but Two thousand naira? Am speechless…..my guys, what says you?

Versus album features collaborations from Banky W, Dagrin, M.I, etc.

Big Brother All Stars New Season of Big Brother Africa will feature ‘All Stars’ – The Most Loved & Controversial Past Housemates of BBA

M-Net has just made a dramatic announcement confirming that the show is set to be a full fledged ALL STARS version, featuring some of the most unforgettable, outspoken, entertaining housemates of previous editions! But just who are they? That is still a secret that remains to be seen!

BIG BROTHER ALL STARS will see 14 housemates from 14 African countries come together to compete 24/7 for 91 days in the search for the ultimate winner prize – USD 200 000, watched by audiences on DStv channel 198.

Biola Alabi, M-Net Africa Managing Director, was pleased to make the news public.

“We want to thank fans of the show for being so patient with us. We’re completely excited about this show and have wanted to announce the full name of the series for some time but given the logistics required on a show like this, we’ve waited until today to announce the full title of the series:
BIG BROTHER ALL STARS.

She goes on to say, “All the housemates, both those included in the new show and those who are not on this series, are the true stars of the Big Brother Africa story and we want to celebrate them in all their glory. What better way than to bring back some of the fans’ favourite characters for a second chance at the big prize. So join them on July 18th as they set off on a whole new adventure.”

With the stakes now raised, BIG BROTHER ALL STARS means that this season will be more strategic than ever before…with all the housemates having played the game previously, they each come into the new season equipped with more insight and knowledge into the world of alliances, conspiracy and tactics. What will happen? Who will survive? And how will they play? Only time will tell so stay tuned!

Meanwhile audiences will get twice as many BIG BROTHER ALL STARS viewing options this year. DStv channel 198 will provide a second viewing feed to audiences, allowing them a choice of which feed they want to watch. This will be in addition to the usual news and information about the show and its housemates that audiences will get when they press the OK button on their DStv remote control.

Plus for more news, video highlights and extras on BIG BROTHER ALL STARS, log on to www.mnetafrica.com/bigbrother and connect with other fans on Facebook and Twitter. And remember to tune in on July 18 on DStv channel 198 for BIG BROTHER ALL STARS!

And for fans counting down the big day and the production company Endemol hard at work on the new series, M-Net has confirmed that next week it will offer the first look at the new house when it releases sneak peek images; as well as a reveal of the superstar artist lined up for the opening show….so get ready…Big Brother is back!

What do we have here? Big Brother Fans, do i see some excitement? This is going to be pure fun, and we patiently await it.

The actress passed away Wednesday morning while being rushed to the hospital.

Her son Toyin Oni told a new publication that the actress had complained about not feeling well. “She fell very weak so we had to rush her to the St Paul’s Hospital, Ebute-Metta, but she passed away before we arrived there,” he said.

Fondly known as Mama T by fans, the late Toun Oni will be fondly remembered by television audiences for roles in long running soap operas like ‘Checkmate’ and ‘Fuji House of Commotion’. Her body is being kept at the St Paul’s Hospital, Ebute Metta, Lagos. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced by the family.

From we at Underdarock, we pray that God gives the family of the late actress the fortitude to bear the loss. RIP Mama T.

Gabriel Afolayan Gabriel Afolayan on the move....

Gabriel is a talented actor no doubt, and one to look out for. His performance in Tade Ogidan’s “Madam Dearest” blew us all away and he became one of the ladies favorite. Word on street has it that Gabriel might be taking this fancy beyond the heavens as he is now what they refer to as “Pay as you go”. He is in the habit of dating women for financial returns and not for love or attraction, so any lady you see with him, it has to be that she is paying his bills.

His colleagues in the yoruba movie sector have tagged him “Faworaja” which simply means someone who uses his/her beauty for commercial benefit, negatively though.

timi dakolo The slowdown of Timi Dakolo.....

Its been four years since that competition and yet this young man’s career has been shaky. Many have attributed this to his stubbornness and lack of dedication. Have you ever heard this man sing? Dude is a soulful and confirmed vocalist, the sound of his voice could melt the hardest of souls. But his 1st runner up Omawumi is miles ahead of him in the game, he can barely hold a touch to her presently and we wonder why?

Timi has signed under three different managements post-Idols and they usually end up parting due to irreconcilable differences. In this highly competitive industry, we all know that it takes more than talent to make headway, one must also be up and doing, fast and ready to work. Timi’s debut video “I love you” ft Jesse Jags had a lukewarm response on airplay, only few people got to ever see it on TV and it was as though they never really played it.

Its been over four years and we think Timi needs another claim to fame besides just being the winner of Idols West Africa.

But not many expected it when he had his fingers burnt recently.

Noble Igwe Everybody hates Noble Igwe?

Facts have it that Nobs as he is fondly called, wrote an article on Hip Hop World Awards on his site stating how some of the categories werent right and which artistes or songs should have been nominated.

This we gathered did not go well with Ayo Animashaun, the CEO of HHWA. So fast forward to the night of HHWA2010, Noble came all garbed for the event with his VIP pass alongside Segun Demuren of EME music. But Ayo was smarter as he was firmly by the entrance ready to bounce Noble, and according to Ayo, not even a VVIP pass would ensure Noble’s entrance and so dude was shown the exit door while Segun warmed his way into the venue.

So many whispers going on now on this issue, talks of people blacklisting Noble’s site. And we even hear Dude even takes to twitter sometimes to let go off his aggression.
