Taylor Swift who is currently on tour, experienced a brief stage malfunction while performing at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field Saturday night (July 14), and the pop star handled the situation like a true pro.

While performing her recent hit “Delicate,” Swift got stuck mid-air in a sparkly basket that was supposed to carry her across the stadium. Midway through the song, the singer admitted to the crowd, “I’m pretty sure I’m stuck up here. It’s a nice view, though.”

After finishing the song, Swift candidly explained the technical difficulties to the audience.

Nollywood Actress Witney John, has revealed through an interview her life as a 21st century woman, who knows more than ever that she can  achieve anything  she  puts her mind to, in the business world, career and personal life. As an actress, Witney  is determined to leave her foot print on the sand of time, as she lets us do a tell all looking at the past,present, and futuristic form of her life as an actress.

MAY WE MEET YOU..

I am Witney John, mostly known by my stage name “witty angel” and fondly called W.J by my friends. I am an Agbor Queen from Delta State. My birthday is celebrated 4th of every January. I studied English and International Studies in Osun State University, Nigeria, and currently residing in Lagos State.

WHEN DID YOU START ACTING?

Well, I kick started my acting career four years ago in 2014.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE THAT MOVE?

Following the fact that I’ve always been good at criticizing nollywood movies due to poor interpretation of characters and sometimes terrible stories that leaves one feeling like I just wasted quality time watching crap knowing that I’m gifted in this line of duty but too engrossed with music and business, I barely had time for myself but then, like I always say “your passion will always trigger your drive ” I figured in 2014 that it was time. For now, it’s acting and business.

HOW MANY MOVIES HAVE YOU BEEN FEATURED IN SO FAR?

I’ve featured in the following TV Series :
Fruit of Eden
Guilt (Ikpe Omuma)
Goldlyne
My Neighbor’s Wife
April Hotel
The Jonathans
This is it
The In-laws. Amongst others…..

Movies I’ve featured in Hadiza’s Story
Fazed
Sun at midnight
Echi di ime
Tragedy of a blessing
Double Identity
Public Wife
Test Result
Too Close
Lying Games
Things I hate
Gboko Boy.
Shadows of reality
Beef with the Don. Amongst others…..

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST CHALLENGING ROLE SO FAR?

I’d say Hadiza’s story where I played the role of Miss Hauwa. “I was a paedophilic lesbian and I had no business with men” it was the most challenging role for me so far.

WHO ARE THE ACTORS YOU LOOK UP TO IN THE INDUSTRY WORLDWIDE?

Actors who inspires me are Viola Davis, Angelina Jolie, Rita Dominic, Genevieve Nnaji, Mercy Johnson and other amazing talents.

DO YOU THINK THE INDUSTRY HAS MADE A TREMENDOUS GROWTH SINCE YOU WENT IN?

To a large extent, I’d like to say Nollywood has made improvements and will definitely get better and better as the year goes by with technology and exposure, and of course social media.

WHAT IS YOUR ON SCREEN NUDITY?

From the inception of Nollywood, it was and is still clearly introduced as a world of make-believe. Therefore, nudity could also be infused into character interpretation.

DO YOU THINK AUDITIONS IN NOLLYWOOD ARE FREE FAIR?

Personally, I’d say yes because I was opportune to work with 90% of the productions that called for auditions during my audition hunting days.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT COLLEAGUES  WHO  ARE  IN  THE  HABIT  OF PAYING FOR A ROLE ?

I say this with apologies to no-one “Paying for roles is outright stupidity” . Acting is a job and every job, and should come with a pay, not the other way round.

WHAT  IS  YOUR  ADVICE  TO FANS  WHO  ASPIRE  TO BE  LIKE  YOU ?

Firstly, find your passion, know what your drive is, read up on it, connect to people who are where you aspire to be, explore the information you’ve gathered and thank me later 😘.

WHERE  DO  YOU  SEE  YOURSELF  IN  5 YEARS ?

I should be known around the globe for my craft, and yes, I should be with my superman and amazing kids, aside being an International business woman.

DO  YOU  HAVE ANY INTENTION OF  BREAKING  INTO  THE  DIRECTING  PART  OF  NOLLYWOOD?

Definitely, I’m working on that already.

Nigerian singer and ‘assurance’ crooner Davido, has quickly taken to his social media handle to debunk the nosy rumour surrounding  his alleged private jet which he was suppose to have bought weeks ago according to his messages on instagram.

The singer who hates to be seen as broke for any reason, then  took  to the  same social media App, to clarify that his hidden private jet is ptivately intact.  A bid to quench the repugnant rumours concerning his financial status which he loved more than life itself. He made it clear that he wasn’t lying about its purchase.

About a month ago, the Father of two had showed off papers of the jet he called ‘Air OBO’, but many of his fans did not believe him.

The self-acclaimed Omo baba Olowo referred to the issue again when one of his Twitter followers asked him about Air OBO.

“E dey ground yakata… but as dem no wan gree say we get , us sef gree say we no get.”, he noted in Pidgin English.

This means that he has, however, yet to give details about the model of the jet and the amount he bought it.

Accordig to news making  rounds, 80s  and 90s Reggae icon, RasKimono, is dead. The legendary singer, whose real name is Ukeleke Onwubuya, died today in Lagos. It was gathered that he was to travel to United States last night, but he complained of not feeling too well. He was rushed to a hospital in Ikeja, then later taken to Lagoon Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Sad time for the entertainment industry of Nigeria.

That coat has got to have a mind of its own. The time it took to struggle with that coat while Beyonce still maintained her cool and sang her part of the song. Her professionalism showed in this clip. She could face such a challenge in front of thousands and still maintain such composure, finally stepping on the coat as the last resort to get it off, while supportive fans cheered her on.

With everyone still in the spirit of celebration, kids still at home getting on their parents’ last nerves, School fees gathering has commenced for a new term/semester, as arenas can’t wait to have the kids resume school. Many Nigerians  just starting to wish friends and well wishers a happy new year, it is only normally that people will  still be paying visits to the people they have always wanted to visit during the Christmas and new year break, that didn’t happen. Workers reluctantly going back to work after spending all that time with family members during the Holidays.

January they say, is psychologically the longest month of the year.

we were surprised by family friends  when an entire family of three dropped by to visit last night. with the Dad, looking exhausted as he Explained that they were on their way home from  spending  the day with his kids. These babies were so energetic for kids coming from a play ground,having played the whole day, they still had the energy of 3 adults . So much that they wore their own Dad out. Having never been out with the boys all my himself, these kids scared their Dad.

One baby is 5, while the other is  2, all small but incredible significant. We think we worsened the case when we  feed them sugary junks. When the sugar rush started in the kids, we all took cover, with the kids chasing us all around the house. Positions of our household asthetics ere all changed. The boys only took two minutes to acquaint themselves with the house, and the rest was history.  They hadn’t  been to my house, but seeing them in action, you would think hey live with us.

With the babies in charge since they went out the whole day with only their dad for the very first time, without having their mum to dampen their reign, their Dad was made famous in all the places he went with them, because of his endless chases. When I sighted the kids right from the main entrance door, I ran to the fridge and  I brought out some candy,  twisters and sweets, handing it over to them , just to get them engaged.

The little one who couldn’t speak just yet, ran around following every one in the house. I tried to scare him with scary animals stories to stop him from going into the rooms. But I was hit with reality of things, when  their dad told me that the boys are not afraid of any animal. I picked up the little one from the ground because at 2 years, he had the cutest baby size. He was so little and cute,that I had to to pick him up into my arms.

Just when I did, You would not Believe what this little one did me. Yeah. I also can’t believe it, So if you are ready to know what happened, go ahead and ask..

TO BE CONTINUED….
