The first young woman who encounters the singer lets out a squeal for the ages. That’s followed by a couple cries of “Oh my god!” and even a “Holy (bleep)!”
In one of the cuter moments, J.T. and a fan square off jokingly saying, “Don’t look at me,” to each other.
“I’ve loved him since I was 11, so this is a really big deal to me,” another young woman said.
Many beautiful tears of joy and happiness ensue.

After wrapping up her “American Idol” duties on Wednesday night, Mariah Carey headed home to tuck her twins into bed ... still decked out in her sparkly Alexander McQueen gown and sky-high heels. "after the show last night rushed home to put dembabies to sleep!" she tweeted. Reading bedtime stories in couture isn't practical, but it is definitely fabulous! (3/20/2013)

A Gig which was a flop from the word go.

Maskiri who never turned-up

Maskiri

Two weeks ago,  a week after NUST hosted  Miss NUST 2013 event,party freaks or rather revelers were expecting to spend the night on campus boozing again but only to walk away after 1.00pm empty-handed.This event i chose to call it "a flop from the word go" because there was lack of seriousness from  preparation up to the time when people dismissed themselves putting on long and dropped face.

Instead of being a gig the event turned to be more of a beer selling platform, people were now buying beer for entertainment since there was nothing to keep them captivated. Preparations started at 9pm, they was no light and sound-test started after he organisers  realised that the situation was now turning people away.

The guests artists never -turned up, according to Lovejoy Nikisingorima, SRC president, "Maskiri was double-booked, he had a gig in Chitungwiza the sameday". Maskiri had signed a $1100 contract for that gig and received $300 as deposit, he was to receive the remaining $800 on arrival at NUST.

By the time i typed this, the SRC had not yet recived their money from Maskiri. He was to perform along two local DJs who also fail turn up, sending the fans thirst for Madam Mombeshora jingles.

Elin Nordegren has a new man in her life.

The former Mrs. Tiger Woods, 33, is reportedly dating billionaire coal magnate Chris Cline, a neighbor in her upscale North Palm Beach, Florida, community called Seminole Landing.
"Elin was introduced to Chris by a local friend because they seem to have a lot in common," a source told People, noting that they've been dating casually and non-exclusively since the holidays. "They both have children, like to keep their personal lives quiet, believe in philanthropy, and enjoy leisure outdoor activity."
Just who is this guy? Here are five facts about Cline:
He's a college dropout, just like Woods. The 55-year-old Cline attended Marshall University in his home state of West Virginia, but he left before graduating to join the same industry that his grandfather and father had been in before him. Cline founded the thriving company Foresight Energy, and his career was praised by the local Herald-Dispatch newspaper in 2011 as "one of the industry's great success stories." Not exactly a walking ad for higher education, is he?

It's safe to say that he's not after Elin for her money. Cline is one of the richest people in the country, according to Forbes. The magazine ranked him as #377 on its latest list of American billionaires and, moreover, estimates his net worth at $1.2 billion -- that's with a b. Cline was even one of the targets of an attempted extortion plot, along with other bigwigs like movie producer Harvey Weinstein, last year. Of course, money is not a concern for Nordegren, especially since her divorce settlement from Woods was estimated at $100 million following his sex scandal.

He's a family guy. Cline has been married twice, with the first marriage ending when his wife died of breast cancer and the second ending in divorce. He has two sons and two daughters, so he'll understand the pressures of parenthood that Nordegren faces as she raises her children with Tiger, 5-year-old daughter Sam and 4-year-old son Charlie. As Cline revealed in a Bloomberg profile in 2010, he's not against falling in love again. "I just haven't had time to look for a wife," he explained.

His digs are even more impressive than you might expect. His home near Nordegren's is a 34,400-square-foot mansion on the ocean -- and that's not all. According to Bloomberg, he spends his time in Beckley, West Virginia, on a 150-acre-estate, featuring a go-kart track, a lake, and a stable of horses, goats, and llamas, referred to as a playground for his kids. Oh, and then there's his 164-foot-long yacht, big enough for 12, called Mine Games, which Cline rents out for cruises to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. The luxury boat features five staterooms, each with its own bathroom and plasma TV; two dining rooms; a sun deck with a 72-inch flat-screen TV so that guests can watch movies under the stars; and a whirlpool spa.
He remembers his roots. He donated $5 million to West Virginia University and another $5 million to his former college back in 2011. In a humble statement issued after the Marshall donation, he said, "I attended Marshall University, have been fortunate to have lived and employed people in West Virginia, and owe the state of West Virginia and its people for much of my success," he said. "I wanted to give something back that will be beneficial to the people of the state."
Cline certainly sounds like relationship material for Nordegren, who ended her romance with investor Jamie Dingman last May.

Kate Middleton Hints She's Having a Baby Girl! Us Weekly

The Royal Pregnancy

Duchess of Cambridge



 Get ready for another Queen of England? Kate Middleton dropped a major hint that she is pregnant with a baby girl during a visit to the National Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby, England on Tuesday, March 5. During the engagement, the expectant Duchess of Cambridge, 31, was given a white teddy bear by a local, Diane Burton. "Thank you, I'll take that for my d--" Prince William's wife replied, tellingly cutting herself off mid-sentence.

When a well-wisher asked the royal if she was about to say "daughter," Middleton smiled and replied coyly, "We're not telling." Another witness, Sandra Cook, overheard the exchange and told reporters: "I said to her: 'You were going to say daughter weren't you?' and she said, 'No, we don't know.'" Remarked Cook, 67, to the Duchess: "I said, 'Oh, I think you do', to which she said: 'We're not telling.'" Middleton, meanwhile, happily clutched the teddy bear gift.

Privately, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recently learned the sex of their baby, a source confirmed to Us Weekly, "but they've only told their parents."
If it's indeed a girl, that's big, big news for the royal couple, who celebrate their second wedding anniversary next month -- and even bigger news for the United Kingdom. Prince William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II recently decreed that, should William and Kate's firstborn be a daughter, she will be called "Princess," and referred to as Her Royal Highness. In addition, the Succession the Crown Bill, overruling centuries of royal gender discrimination, decrees that William and Kate's firstborn will be the heir to the throne regardless of gender.

Surprise! Janet Jackson Is Already Married



Wissam Al Mana and Janet Jackson



And you thought Jermaine changing his last name to “Jacksun” was the biggest Jackson family news of the past week?
In an exclusive statement to “Entertainment Tonight,” Janet Jackson confirmed that she’s already married to Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana. A rep for the singer has confirmed the news to omg! as well.
"The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true,” the statement began. “Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children’s charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy.
With love, Wissam and Janet"
Rumors that Jackson, 46, and Al Mana, 37, were planning a spring wedding started circulating in December. The couple has been romantically linked since 2010. It’s the third marriage for the “Rhythm Nation” singer, following her marriages to James DeBarge and Rene Elizondo Jr. (her marriage to the former was later annulled). She was also in a long-term relationship with music producer Jermaine Dupri, which ended in 2009, but the couple never married.
Not much is knows about Al Mana’s personal life, but he is certainly successful in the business world. The Middle Eastern impresario helps run the Al Mana Group, a family business started by his father over 60 years ago, along with his two brothers. The retail businessman has a reported estimated net worth ranging anywhere from $200 million to over $1 billion. In 2004, he launched the Al Mana Luxury Company division, which is a shareholder in Saks Fifth Avenue’s Middle East franchises as well as in A/X Armani Exchange.
“I head the retail division [of the Qatar-based family empire, Al Mana Group],” he explained in the November 2012 issue of VMAN magazine. “I oversee new developments and I’m constantly working on interesting projects, one of them in design. I’m also pursuing an art project, and I’m involved in several charities.”
He also spoke with VMAN back then about his relationship with Ms. Jackson, saying, “I don’t date Janet Jackson. She is my girlfriend; there is a difference. She is a very special and talented woman who never ceases to amaze me.”
In December 2010, he spoke with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia more about the origins of his professional life. He explains that his love of fashion was developed growing up in London. “(London is) where I developed an early love of fashion and remember applying for a job at every fashion boutique on the Kings Road. At 14 I finally found a weekend job at a multi-brand store. I really enjoyed it and began to acquire an insight into the world of retail that would prove crucial for my career.”
He also told Harper’s Bazaar that his betrothed love is his “dream woman.” “I think a man’s dream woman changes as he goes through different stages in his life. I’m fortunate to be dating my dream woman now,” he explained. He shared a story about how Jackson bought him a mint condition 1964 Lincoln Continental convertible with suicide doors as a gift, but went on to say that although it’s his “ultimate boy’s toy,” he believes that, “Greed is terrible. I think we need to learn how to be content with what we have. Money doesn’t buy happiness, nor do material things.”
We guess "That's The Way Love Goes"! Congrats to the happy couple.http://omg.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/surprise-janet-jackson-already-married-191926083.html
