“Get off Bebe’s back, Mowzey”



Think showbiz is all about superficiality and back-stabbing?

Nope - just like a fairy story, true friendship does exist in Celebville.

Please join us in congratulating all the artistes who are trying to help Bebe Cool through a troubling time.

Bebe Cool and his model wife Zuena Kirema split some weeks ago and as if that wasn’t enough, the reggae star was dragged to court for default recently.

Since then Bebe Cool has been down and broken and he looked like he was losing it when he started fighting with minnow DJs and singers.

But star songwriter Sylva Kyagulanyi has intervened to save the situation.

Kyagulanyi started with attacking Mowzey and Weasel for concentrating on making songs that “insult” Bebe Cool.

“Why are they singing about a fellow artiste’s private life, that’s not fair at all,” said Kyagulanyi. “I’ve told them that what is happing to him (Bebe Cool) could happen to any of them any time, they’re not immune to marital problems.”

Meanwhile, Bebe Cool has since vacated his house in Kisaasi leaving it for Zuena and their children.

A source told us that Bebe Cool demanded that he wanted to stay near his children but Zuena told him it would only be possible if he left the house for them.

“He’s staying near home but Zuena doesn’t allow him to enter the house,” said the source.

Twists and more twists in this affair!

Rasta Rob sings again




It was a happy childhood for most of us as we enjoyed the nursery rhymes of Rasta Rob MC back in the days.

And now we’re happy to announce that Rasta Rob has made a musical return – we’re just unsure how effective will this venture be for him.

Anyways, Rasta Rob, whose real name is Robert Ogwal, has teamed up with promising songwriter cum singer Dennis Rackla on a new single titled Safiina. The song was recorded at Rackla’s Nansana-based studio Neat Studio. They both co-wrote the song which is about an old man (Rasta Rob) bickering with a young boy (Rackla) over a girl.

Rasta has been upbeat about the song calling it his “musical comeback.”

He has even promised to do a complete album before the end of this year.

“This new song is the turning point for my music career,” he said, “I want to release more songs and several albums.”

The song has started playing on Super FM where Rasta Rob is a presenter in the evening and it’s also played in the nightclubs.

KFM now owns Dembe FM

DONE DEAL: Aisha Alibhai (R) has been part of a sucessful KFM





Everybody will be saying, “Who else could have gotten this news before Rafshizzle” and it’s not because of my relationship with Monitor Publications Limited (MPL) but because stories are on this blog now and soon they’ll be somewhere else.
Well, we can exclusively reveal to you that MPL has bought Dembe FM from Bitature.
MPL is under Aga Khan’s Nairobi-based Nation Media Group of Companies (NMG), who also owns the Daily Monitor newspaper, NTV Uganda and KFM radio in Uganda.
Our Sherlocks have revealed to us that some of the staff at the Nakasero-based Dembe FM will be retained but most of them are bound to lose their jobs as the new owners have a different vision of the station and its running.
“The station will remain in Nakasero for the time being but they will move it to Namuwongo near its sister KFM,” said the source.
The details of the deal, especially how much money was paid to money-man Bitature, are something we can’t release at the moment. But rest assured that we will keep you posted on the developments especially about the staff to be affected.
Bina Baby? We also don’t know!
Anyways, all we know is that the move is part of NMG’s attempt to take over the media field in Uganda.
In fact, KFM will have its signals strengthen all over the country by Friday this week.
Daily Monitor newspaper is in a process to add more magazines into their paper and now NTV Uganda is also on DStv.
Doesn’t that sound quite an improvement?

Jackie hits at Cindy in Mombasa

Cinderella Sanyu has many fans and friends...
But former Blu3 group-mates, especially Jackie Chandiru may not be some of them.
The Blu3 girls have been talking about the breakaway singer in less than favourable terms.
Remember Cindy was replaced by Mya Baganda while she was on holiday with her Spanish boyfriend Mario Brunetta last year.
So when Blu3 was in Mombasa for the East Africa divas beach party, last week, the audience kept asking the whereabouts of Cindy, according to a source at Kenyan newspaper Daily Nation.
Our Kenyan source also told us that the girls tried to dodge the question but the audience kept stubbornly asking, “Where is Cindy” during every break.
Questioned so many times, Jackie replied: “Oh my god. We really, really would have loved to be with her but she was not serious. She left the group for a man. There’s no way we would have worked with such a person.”
After those controversial comments, Jackie went ahead to introduce Cindy and the girls didn’t hold themselves back by putting up an exhilarating performance.

BREAKING NEWS

Get a seat everybody because we’re sure this will shock some of you to your very core.
But the truth is that Boyz II Men won’t be coming to Uganda as expected.
The group sent a disappointing message to Ugandan promoters telling them that one of the singers is sick and they can’t travel.
The highly-hyped show scheduled to take place at Lugogo Cricket Oval on Saturday, will go on though.
Joe Thomas arrived in the country on Tuesday and Jamaicans Tanya Stephens, Tanto Metro and Devonte are also already in the country and set to go.
The details of whether Boyz II Men will come to perform on a later date is still being kept under the rag so we’ve got to be patient and we will keep you posted.
