seizure, HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that Chris
did faint, and we have all the details. Read on to find out how
he is doing now.
In the early hours of August 9, Chris Brown was reported to have had a seizure at
Record Planet recording studios in LA, but we can exclusively reveal that this is
NOT true. Chris did suffer from a nasty incident while in the studio, but he is now
“resting” and recovering.
Chris Brown Suffers Seizure At Recording Studio? Not Quite…
Chris, 24, is “doing all right and he’s resting now,” a source close to the “Forever”
singer exclusively tells HollywoodLife.com . “There is no need to panic; he’s all
right,” added our source, who was present when this incident occurred.
So did Chris have a seizure? Our source revealed that Chris did NOT suffer from a
seizure, but instead he fainted:
It wasn’t a seizure. He just felt light headed and dehydrated and fell
on the ground. It scared us, but in seconds he was talking saying he
was all right. When we seen him falling we didn’t know what was up
so we called 911.
That is really scary, but we are revealed to hear that Chris merely fainted instead of
seizing. The source added that Chris has been suffering from a lot of stress — he
recently turned himself in to be booked — but he will not miss out on partying this
weekend.
He’s cool, but he is stressed and didn’t have a good week. He was in
the studio for a lot of hours with like no sleep at all and a lot on his
mind and whatnot. He just overdid it but now he’s doing all right and
will be out this weekend like always.
Chris did not go to the hospital or see a doctor following his scary accident,
because he has chosen to sleep it off instead.
I don’t think [he went to the doctor]. He just needs water and sleep
and he’ll be cool.

“Bikini role for $1m? I’ll think about it’- Halima Abubakar

Fast rising nollywood actress Halimar Abubakar says she will turn down
$1m to act in a bikini or bare any part of her body - To think that this
is coming from an actress who got her big break in the early 2000s in a
nude scene.
Halima stated this in a recent interview with
Channels TV.
When asked what role she would willingly turn down for a $1 Million,
she said
‘for the fact that I’m a responsible woman, and I love and respect my
country, and of course my family, I would not take a role that has to do
with baring it all….you know…nudity…’

Why I show off my skin – Emma Nyra

“When it comes to fashion, I’m a person who isn’t scared to
take risk. I tell people you won’t be young forever, so I don’t
mind taking risk and showing off a little skin. When I’m older
and married I won’t even want to allow myself show off my
husband property but right now, I’m single, I’m singing and
I’m young so I want to be as comfortable and fashionable as
possible. It’s 2013 and people are accepting new trends! I’ll
take judgments from some views but that’s part of being an
entertainer, you want people to talk.”

Wande Coal quits Mavin records

The rumours keep getting louder and assumptions turning into reality,
there are strong indications that Wande Coal is parting ways with his
current record label Mavin Records.
Wande, inside sources tell us has been contemplating a move now for
months and has already launched his own entertainment outfit Black
Diamond Entertainment. Sources close to the talented singer tell NET
that Wande wants to be in total control of his music career and will be
releasing his long awaited second album under his own imprint.
Wande has continually postponed his upcoming album for reasons he’s
never told us; in April he promised us a June 6, 2013 release. It’s close
to two months and we are still waiting…
Even though both parties aren’t speaking, their
actions seem to be doing the talking – Wande
released a new single ‘ Kilaju‘ today (July 30, 2013) under his Black
Diamond Entertainment (the ubiquitous Mavin Records logo is missing
from the official cover art). More so, Don Jazzy who seems to be
omnipresent on social network Twitter has not mentioned Wande Coal,
tweeted or retweeted anything related to the release.
The last five years have been quite rocky for Mr Wande, after dropping
his very successful solo debut ‘Mushin 2 Mohits ‘ in 2008, Wande has
found himself in troubled waters – in 2010, he ‘went global’ when a
picture of him naked leaked on the internet.
Despite all of this, Wande has managed to release chart topping
singles, trending globally.
The demand from his ever-thirsty fans has remained constant all
through the years, and he seems he now wants to take his future into
his own hands.

Usher’s 5 Year Old Son Hospitalized After Almost Drowning In The Pool

Usher’s 5-year-old son Usher Raymond V is currently in an Atlanta hospital after
an accident in the singer’s pool, E! News has confirmed.
The Voice coach’s son was taken to the hospital yesterday evening after almost
drowning while trying to retrieve a toy that was stuck in an underwater pool drain,
according to an Atlanta police report.
Usher Raymond V’s arm got stuck in the drain while he was underwater and his
aunt and a housekeeper unsuccessfully tried to free him.
Two male contracters working inside the house then rushed to the pool and were
able to free the boy and remove him from the water. One of the men performed
CPR, reviving the boy before medical responders arrived at Usher’s home.
Usher’s son is currently recovering at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish
Rite and is “conscious, alert and breathing,” according to the report.
Usher Raymond V’s accident comes just a year after Usher’s late stepson, Kile
Glover (biological son to Usher’s ex-wife Tameka Foster), died after being struck
by a personal watercraft on Lake Lanier.

Pastor Sacked For Attending Rick Ross & Lil Wayne Concerts

A North Carolina-based Pastor Rodney Wills of Mt Salem’s church has been sacked
for attending American rapper Rick Ross Concert .
The 26-year-old pastor made history for the shortest term ever served pastoring at
Mt Salem’s church in the 109 year history of the church.
Though he was pardoned when he attended Lil Wayne concert 9 months ago, but
his latest move has ended his career at the church.
He was voted out last Saturday night and to his surprise on Sunday morning, his
parking sign has taken down and his name removed from his office door.
“We cannot have our leader supporting people of this world who are tearing down
the kingdom of God .” said Deacon Miles Langley of Mt Salem church.
The bubble bust on Pastor Rodney Wills after some youths and adult church
members saw him at the two concerts.
“We know that many saints will have mixed opinions from our actions, but this is
not how we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor praising the
world one minute then praising the Lord the next. Period” said Deacon Langley.

Cara Delevingne Auditions For Fifty Shades of Grey: Should She Play Ana?

British model Cara Delevingne, who has walked in countless runway shows and
fronted top-tier fashion brands, is reportedly hoping to transition into acting.
In the Fifty Shades of Grey movie.
According to reports, Delevingne auditioned for the prized role of Anastasia
Steele in the erotic film trilogy based on the hit novel written by E.L. James.
The movie will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, who just happens to good
friends with the young star, 20, so perhaps she has the inside track?
It's unclear, but Cara were to land the role in the film, it would catapult her into
another level of fame, and prove that her acting chops match her looks.
What do you think? Should Cara play Ana?

Drake on Amanda Bynes Tweets: Weird and Disturbing!

After months at the center of Amanda Bynes' Twitter universe, Drake has finally
weighed in on the actress' bizarre and frequent missives about him.
It has long been a mystery whether Drake cared, or even knew what was being
said about him by Amanda Bynes, for the last 4-5 months. No longer.
"I don't even know who that is doing that or what that's about," Drizzy told XXL
magazine. "If that is her, I guess it's a little weird and disturbing."
"It's obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whether it's her
or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going."
Amanda Bynes' Twitter has been radio silent since she was placed on a 5150
hold a few weeks ago. Her last tweet, fittingly, was "Drake is gorgeous."
The actress' inconsistent emotions toward the rapper began in March.
At times, Drake has been "a hot fellow." The most gorgeous man in the world at
one point, even. One who Amanda straight up wanted to murder her vagina.
Other times, Drake was "ugly" with "Down syndrome eyes." Classy.
We wish Amanda the best as she undergoes treatment in a psychiatric hospital,
though we wouldn't hold out hope for a future romance with Drake.
Not getting the sense that he's into the mysterious, unstable type.
Amanda Bynes Saga: What Comes Next?

Amanda Bynes' Return to Court: Will She Win Her Freedom?

Amanda Bynes will be in court Friday, where she is expected to attempt to win
her freedom from a California psychiatric hospital. Will she be successful?
The actress, held against her will for the last two weeks since setting a driveway
on fire in Thousand Oaks, will be bussed to a local courthouse.
There, her parents will ask a judge for a temporary conservatorship, granting
them control over her personal, legal, medical and financial affairs.
Amanda Bynes Saga: What Comes Next?
If the parents get their way, Amanda will go back to the psychiatric ward for
further treatment; Bynes, 27, could walk away a free woman if a judge allows it.
Amanda Bynes will be accompanied by her lawyer. She'll speak to the judge
personally, likely in chambers, so he try to gauge her mental competency.
If the parents prevail, the temporary conservatorship will last until September 30,
when a hearing will take place to make the arrangement indefinite (or not).
So how is this expected to play out, at least as far as this afternoon goes?
It's possible that if Amanda Bynes' condition - reportedly a mental illness with
schizophrenic tendencies - has greatly improved, she could be set free.
That scenario seems unlikely, however, even if her medication is working, since
just a week ago, her doctors successfully defended her 14-day hold.
"What happens to Amanda next largely depends on what her doctor
recommends," says Jeffrey S. Cohen, an L.A. attorney not involved with the case.
"If Amanda has improved, is cooperative and recognizes she needs treatment, it's
possible she could be released to the care of her parents for outpatient
treatment."
That still would mean "her mother in legal control of her basic needs and
finances," which Amanda has reportedly been steadfastly opposed to.
However, if Ventura Superior Court Judge Glen M. Reiser rules that her mother's
legal control is unnecessary, he could defer to the doctors treating her.
They in turn could keep Bynes hospitalized for several more weeks, experts
believe.

Karen Black Dies; Easy Rider Star Was 74

Oscar-nominated actress Karen Black, probably best known for her role in Easy
Rider , died Thursday at the age of 74 after a long battle with cancer.
Her husband, Stephen Eckelberry, said, "It is with great sadness that I have to
report that my wife and best friend Karen Black has passed away, only a few
minutes ago."
"Thank you all for all your prayers and love, they meant so much to her as they
did to me."
Black was diagnosed with ampullary cancer in November 2010 and had a third
of her pancreas removed. She was declared cancer-free in 2011, but it returned.
In March 2013, a fundraising page was set up to help raise public donations for
experimental treatment in Europe that was not covered by insurance.
On August 7, a day before she passed, Eckelberry posted an update saying that
Black had become bed-bound as the cancer had spread to her spine and back.
Karen Black: Crowdfunding Cancer Treatments
They were unable to go to Europe, despite their crowdfunding attempts.
He said he had "given up predicting what is going to happen to Karen."
"You look at the scans, they tell you one thing, then you meet Karen, and what
you are left with is how amazingly alive she is," he wrote.
"She can't help but take life head-on and to be completely engaged in the
moment, always interested, always curious, always present."

Kim Kardashian Post-Baby Body Debut Plan: Backfiring!

Kim Kardashian is growing worried and desperate.
Sources tell Radar Online that the reality star has purposely been remaining
holed up at home since giving birth to North West on June 15 because she
wants to build anticipation for her first post-baby body appearance.
Kanye Keeping Kim Kardashian Captive?
But has she now waiting too long?!?
“Kim is used to having millions of adoring fans begging to see her all the time,"
an insider tells the site. "But there has been a shift in her fan base and she’s
getting nervous that people don’t care as much about her."
That may explain why Kardashian appeared via satellite on her mom's talk show
last week, a move that was met with derision by even the most loyal followers.
Adds this anonymous source:
“After all the excitement the whole world had for Kate Middleton’s royal baby,
Kim had hoped that people would care about her that much, but now she’s
freaking out that they’re not.”
What can Kardashian do to recapture her buzz? To become the world's "most
famous" mom, as this article states is her goal?
Us Weekly may have stumbled upon the answer: A Kim and Kanye wedding
would definitely place her back in the spotlight! Quick, someone get Ryan
Seacrest on the phone...

'Elysium' Star Matt Damon Thinks 'Star Wars' Force Is Strong With J.J. Abrams

After starring in big-budget action franchises, Matt Damon
finally stars in his first live-action, full-on science fiction
blockbuster with "Elysium." Damon's leading-man looks get
covered by a thick coat of grime and grit in the film, courtesy
of a post-apocalyptic Earth where the entire human race lives
in slums and works in factories. Well, not all of the human
race; the elite few rich enough and powerful enough to make
their way to the space station Elysium live in the lap of luxury,
free of poverty, war, and disease.
While it lacks the new film's overt social commentary, the
original "Star Wars" broke new ground in 1977 by presenting a
run-down scifi universe, with a level of wear and tear that
seems to have inspired at least half of "Elysium's" aesthetic.
With a new "Star Wars" movie on the way, MTV News' Josh
Horowitz had to ask Damon about his thoughts on returning
to a galaxy far, far away."I'm happy that [director] J.J.
[Abrams] is doing it," answered Damon. "I remember when
they made the second batch [starting in 1999], and I was so
kind of nervous about it. Ultimately I think that the first three
— they exist and nothing can affect them, so why not? If you
can get a J.J. Abrams to — if you can get buy-in from him,
then that's the best shot of [getting the film on the right
path]."Damon wouldn't reveal if he's pursuing a role in the
film, but at this point every A-list Hollywood star has been
rumored to be involved. Starring in the film wouldn't be a
stretch for Damon, who recently revealed to MTV that he's a
lifelong sci-fi fan ." 'Blade Runner' and 'Alien,' and 'Star Wars,'"
said Damon, listing some of his favorite sci-fi films from his
youth. "So yeah, I'm a big fan."With "Elysium," Damon could
find himself at the center of his own "Star Wars"-esque
franchise. Director Neill Blomkamp turned heads with his 2009
directorial debut, "District 9," which became one of a select
few science fiction films to receive a Best Picture nomination
at the Academy Awards. Damon previously said that
Blomkamp's world building for "Elysium" was massive in
scope, with the director pulling out graphic novels and books
filled with weapon systems and vehicles for the harsh future
world — most of which reside solely in the background of the
film they created.But before he furthers his possibly
expanding career as a sci-fi star, Damon has a few other
projects to pay attention to: playing the lead in a biopic about
mob boss Whitey Bulger, and being a father."I think Ben
[Affleck] and I just figured out our kind of angle of attack on
the movie," Damon said when asked if Bulger's recent trial has
had any effect on the biopic's progress. "It's a tough one. We
don't want to make something that's been made before.
We've got some work to do, but I think we cracked it
conceptually."Any plans for the actor to get behind the camera
like his buddy Ben Affleck have also been put on hold. "I'm
probably not going to direct in the short term. Right now, this
fall, we're going to L.A. and we gotta be around to make sure
the kids like school and all that stuff. So I'm going to be a dad
in the short term." "Elysium" opens in theaters on August 9.

George Clooney, Matt Damon Team Up In 'Monuments Men' Trailer

Could "The Monuments Men" be this year's "Argo"? Well, let's
see: It's based on historical events; is directed by a well-
regarded actor and features John Goodman. So, maybe?We'll
let you draw your own conclusions as the first trailer for
George Clooney 's directorial follow-up to "The Ides of March"
is here, with Clooney once again pulling double duty in front of
and behind the lens.
The film stars Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray and
Bob Balaban, and centers around the titular "Monuments
Men," a real-life group of art historians and museum curators
tasked with rescuing treasured artifacts from destruction
during World War II. Though the coalition included about 345
men (and women!) from 13 different countries, Clooney's take
appears to focus on the American effort.The screenplay, co-
written by Clooney, is based on the book, "The Monuments
Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure
Hunt in History" by Robert M. Edsel.In the clip, Clooney's
George Stout (a conservationist at Harvard University) lays
out the rescue plan thusly to Matt Damon's James Rorimer (a
curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art): "I'm to put a
team together and do our best to protect buildings, bridges
and art before the Nazis destroy everything.""How many
men?" Rorimer asks."Six," Stout replies."Jesus," Rorimer
responds."Well, with you, it's seven," Stouts says
optimistically."Well, that's much better," Rorimer
deadpans.And that exchange pretty perfectly captures "The
Monuments Men's" tone — earnest, with tongue lightly in
cheek. Sounds a lot like another historical drama we've
seen... "The Monuments Men" opens December 18, 2013.

Will Kick-Ass Change His Swagger In Sequel? We Ask Him!

With "Kick-Ass 2," Aaron Taylor-Johnson is returning to his
role of Dave Lizewski, the tough home-made hero also known
as Kick-Ass, after years away from it. And according to the
actor, it was harder to step back into Kick-Ass' shoes than he
imagined.A big part of playing Dave for Taylor-Johnson is
raising his voice to a near squeak, something that, as he
explained to MTV News' Josh Horowitz, was a bit of a
struggle.
"Other than it being an American accent, there was a specific
tone to it that meets with Dave," he said. "For the second one,
it was difficult to go back to that character."Voice aside,
making "Kick-Ass 2" meant returning to the frame of mind of
somebody who feels compelled to hit the streets and fight
crime. In the three years between films, Taylor-Johnson came
up with a number of ideas for the character, but had a hard
time realizing that a lot of that work had already been done
for the original."In between [the two movies] there was a
documentary called 'Superheroes' that came out, and I was
watching those guys going 'Oh, my god. They're the real kind
of people that dress up and go out,' " he said. "They had some
really great, quirky mannerisms, and I really wanted to pick up
those traits for the character, but it's like it was too late. I
can't now. That's not Dave. That's someone else. Then I
needed to focus in on what Dave really was. It was
interesting."The actors new to "Kick-Ass 2" didn't have a
precedent to fulfill, and one of them, Jim Carrey, took the role
very seriously. "The majority of the time [Carrey] would keep
in that character," Taylor-Johnson said. "I admire it. I do the
same sometimes as well. He brings such enthusiasm and
great ideas when he creates characters like it. It's incredible.
You're seeing something come to life. It's about being ballsy,
making big decisions and being bold and to stick with
it." "Kick-Ass 2" opens in theaters on August 16.

Lady Gaga's Nude-Video Collaborator: Who is Marina Abramovic?

Like Andy Warhol to a previous generation of rock and pop
acts, performance artist Marina Abramović has become a
muse to some of today's biggest stars.From her appearance
in the new Jay Z video for "Picasso Baby" to a just-dropped
provocative clip from Lady Gaga, Abramović has become a
muse and touchstone for a whole new generation.But who is
Abramović and why are Jay and Mother Monster hyping her to
their fans?Abramović was born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in
1946 and began her career in the early 1970s as a painter,
visual, text and sound artist as well as one of the pioneers of
the performance art movement. Along with fellow performance
artists Vito Acconci, Chris Burden and Bruce Nauman,
Abramović helped explode the boundaries of fine art with
conceptual performances and happenings that often involved
her testing the limits of her endurance and pain threshold. See
how to reach Lady Gaga's Naked Crystal Zen In Just 7 Easy
Steps! Like Burden, who once crucified himself on a
Volkswagen Beetle in a piece called "Trans-fixed," Abramović
was not afraid to put herself in harm's way for such pieces as
1973's "Rhythm 10," during which she played a kind of
Russian roulette with a series of knives, cutting herself
multiple times in the process, which she then repeated. In
"Rhythm 5" from 1974, she lay at the center of a burning 5-
point star until she lost consciousness.But perhaps her best
known work is 2010's "The Artist is Present," a grueling
performance during which Abramović sat silently for 736
hours in a gallery at New York's Museum of Modern Art
staring at a group of "sitters" who lined up for the privilege of
being part of the piece. In a 2011 documentary about the
performance that traced her career and the heavy physical toll
the performance took on the then-63 year old artist,
Abramović is seen meticulously preparing for the piece and
fretting over the endurance needed for the longest
performance of her career.
As one of the last of her generation of performance artists still
creating new works, Abramović continues to focus on art that
ritualizes everyday actions like standing, sitting, dreaming and
lying down in an effort to provoke a higher state of
consciousness for herself and her audience.Among the more
than 750,000 visitors who came to the MOMA over the course
of "The Artist is Present" (which ran from March 14-May 31,
2010), were Bjö, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Sharon Stone,
James Franco and Gaga, who is slated to take the stage on
August 25 at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards .The new
Gaga video is, in fact, part of a promotion for Abramović's
Kickstarter campaign for her Marina Abramović Institute ,
which will focus on the study, preservation and presentation
of long duration music, dance, theater, film and performance
art pieces.

Davido' s Girlfriend Goes Total Nude ; Reveals their Bedroom Act

A lot has been said concerning socialite /bad girl Pendo, Davido and their alleged
romp this past weekend when the superstar was in town.
Well we want to put ALL the rumours to rest . First of all , we have the interview
that has everyone up in arms that Davido denied Pendo ’s existence. And keep
your eyes open for more on that.
Secondly , I personally decided to call up Pendo and ask her what was the REAL
deal . So here is our conversation ( partly redacted to get right down to all the
juicy parts ) about everything .
So what is all this wahala about Davido blocking you off of his facebook?
Pendo : If people had done even a little research, they would Davido does not
even have a Facebook account . I NEVER said I was in touch with him through
Facebook. I got in touch with him through a good friend of his *redacted * and
that’s where everything started. He did the intro .
So, seriously , did you sleep with Davido?
Pendo: Errrrrrrrrrrm ( laughs cheekily ) ( There is IRREFUTABLE proof that Pendo
did spend the night with Nigerian superstar, if you want to see it plead with her
on twitter @LoveStaicey to release it .) In the meantime, have this picture of
Davido, topless , in his hotel room from his personal instagram . Maybe Pendo
took it # troll
So why did you do this ? Do you do this for money?
Pendo: ( Laughs ) No, I didn’ t get money from him. I didn’t WANT money from
him. I did it simply cuz I find him hot and he is pretty legit in the music industry
in Africa. Yeah , I am attracted by his talent, his fame , his power , but honestly ,
who isn ’ t ? And people are talking so much because a lot of women wanted to be
in my shoes , but were not . I ’m not afraid to go after what I want. That’ s just me .
And I am unapologetic for it. I am content that I got what I wanted -which was
to know him- and I guess it just naturally progressed from there…
So was this a one time thing then?
Pendo: No , I would do it again . Gladly . I don ’ t regret it at all .
Of course you know now I am gonna ask about the “D ”. Free reign, choose your
own words to describe it.
Pendo: He was perfect .
Nooooooooo, more than that. DESCRIPTION.
Pendo: ( Laughing ) Ok, ok . Errrrrrrrrrrm, he is much better than your “average
Kenyan ”. He is big. Both length and width . ( Giggles ) And best part is he REALLY
knows what he is working with .
Haha, so you loved ALL OF HIM. ( SN : Hehe , see what I did there ?)
Pendo: ( Giggles) Ha, you won ’t let this go will you . Haha, no seriously though,
he has CRAZY moves , he kept it fresh for a couple hours . I am impressed .
Definitely the best … ( hesitates ) Ok maybe not the best I ever had , but he is up
there.
So was this a one night stand or will you be seeing him again ?
Pendo: Davido is not only a good lover but a gentleman. Not only did he not
publicise the affair, but he left me with some personal mementos to remember
him. I don ’t think a one night stand does that. Plus there is still communication
going on . I’ m not saying we are dating, but we are definitely still talking . He did
not “hit it and quit it ”.
Watch this space to see if Pendo goes to visit Davido in Nigeria . A little birdie
tells me that this may be a high possibility right now . And seriously , wouldn’ t a
Pendo/Davido dalliance be so Rihanna / ChrisBrown-esque ( bad girls get the bad
boys and they don ’ t give a damn .?
