Hanks Anuku Denies Allegations He Gave His Wife HIV

Reports have it that popular actor, Hanks Anuku intentionally infected his wife with HIV.

According to Naij, the rumors are completely false and misconstrued. Hanks said his quote was taken out of context. What he actually said was:

“I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and during that time she was tested for HIV and the results was shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested I came back to Zimbabwe and I kept quiet about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her but I regret. I later on received some counseling and it went well,”

“During my peak of popularity I had sex with approximately 80 women, within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To make matters worse I lacked counseling and I failed to handle it properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born again Christian with UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa”.

Hanks experience was misconstrued and the media painted him in a bad light when he actually explained that he regretted not telling his wife about HIV status and the counseling he received after the bad incident.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Undergoes Tracheotomy

A source has revealed that doctors performed a tracheotomy on Bobbi Kristina Brown this week to rearrange her breathing tube in what a family source calls a “normal procedure.” ….The source says the procedure does not indicate a change in status.

It’s a normal procedure to have the tracheotomy because if you have a breathing tube down there for a long time, it can cause an infection,” said the source.

“She is still critical and we don’t know what the outcome will be,” the source added. “No one is giving up on this kid.” 

Brown, 21, has been hospitalized since she was found unresponsive in her bathtub on Jan. 31. This past weekend, a source told PEOPLE her condition remains grim as family including father Bobby Brown and grandmother Cissy Houston keep a bedside vigil. 

“There’s a medical reason behind [the tracheotomy], but it’s making things clear to everyone how serious this is,” says the source. “Even if she wakes up, there’s a possibility that this could do some damage to her vocal cords, I hear.”

SO SAD: Whitney Houston’s Daughter, Bobbi Kristina’s Family Finally Decides To Let Her Die Today

Family members of Bobbi Kristina Brown have finally decided to let her die on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 which is the same date her mother, Whitney Houston died on February 11, 2012, in a bath at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
This date was unanimously agreed by both her paternal and maternal relatives as all efforts done to revive her, 10 days after she was found unconscious in a bath tub at her house in Georgia has been unsuccessful.
According to reports, Cissy Houston, grandmother to Miss Brown, had earlier suggested the idea during the weekend to turn off her life support machine so that she could be allowed to die on the same date as her mother but the family could not come to terms with the whole sad incident.
A close source to the family disclosed that the decision to finally pull her life support machine was made by both sides of the family.
“This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone [brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her,” the source said.
Award winning producer, Tyler Perry, who was close to the iconic pop star, Houston played an important role in coming to a peaceful agreement between the families.
“He has already been tabbed to make all the funeral arrangements”.
“You wouldn’t think of him as being someone who’d be a peacemaker, but he’s someone both sides really respect,” the Brown source added.
Perry was joined in Bobbi Kristina’s room at Emory University Hospital by record producer Jermaine Dupri and rapper Bow Wow, who are friends with both families and have helped him calm things down, the source said.
“They’re respected, and both sides know they don’t want to embarrass themselves in front of them,”
Meanwhile, police are still investigating to find out what led to the tragic event and her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who has an history of domestic violence, is the primary suspect in this case.
It is so sad that while we’re remembering the tragic death of the Legendary singer, Whitney Houston, on February 11, we’ll also be mourning the death of her only child, Bobbi Kristina Brown.

Tuface keeps mum on compromising picture with Pero

Last week, the internet went agog when a picture of Tuface in a compromising position with his baby mama, Pero, surfaced. The collage of four pictures in parts showed where Tuface was kissing Pero and also showed her sitting on the superstar’s laps. They were both laughing and looked bubbly in the photographs.

While some believed they were old pictures taken when the going was good between the artiste and Pero who is the mother of one of his kids, others argued that the pictures are recent and were taken in one of Tuface’s clubs.

At a recent event in Lagos, Saturday Beats asked the award winning singer to talk more about the pictures but he chose to be evasive saying that serious matters should be separated from jokes.

“Make dem no carry play play matter enter serious matter, make dem no worry,” he said.

Meanwhile, shortly after the pictures surfaced online, the singer quickly took to his instagram page to express his disdain over the incident. He posted a picture of himself and his wife walking down the aisle in 2013 with the caption, “Our love does not have 2 make sense 2 u. Pls go on with your perfect life and know the true story behind something before u judge and start making nasty comments based on an orchestrated story by some blog. U shall know the truth and the truth shall set u free. LYTID Uwana Idibia

Top 5 best dressed Nollywood actresses (3)

RITA DOMINIC
Born Rita Uchenna Nkem Uwaturuocha Dominic, she is unarguably one of the best dressed actresses now.
Rita’s style is beyond here and she stays impressing us every time she steps out. She is bathed with class and has a high dress sense that amazes her fans always.
However, she loves her hair ever full, wears bohemian weaves most times. Her Instagram page also never gets quiet as comments roll in immediately she uploads a photo. We see their daily outfits here on Instagram and Rita doesn’t try less because she’s not on the red carpet. She still impresses.
The petite light skinned actress commands a lot of respect and class in the industry.
No wonder she has remained a big threat to most of her colleagues who are almost tired of digging to know the secret of her dress sense and style
