Miss South Africa Makes Top 15
Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza, has been crowned as Miss Universe 2008 at the star studded event at the Crown Convention Center in Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam. The 22 years-old beauty queen’s career ambition is to become an Interior Designer. She also enjoys photography and is interested in advertising.

It seems that having fun at the pageant is the real reward that Africans can expect at these contests. LOL! » Read more…

Carry Dare Go!
What a heading huh? Yeah I know! But after listening to Dare Art-Alade’s “Carry Dey Go” featuring 2Face Idibia, I am convinced that he will finally get out of the dangerous purgatory zone, where brilliant artists continue to release good singles but are never able to generate the right buzz that reflects their talent. After Dare’s impressive showing at Project Fame (Africa’s version of the UK hit reality series, Fame Academy), Africa was literally under his feet for the taking. » Read more…

Azumah Vs. Fenech III
When I saw Rocky Balboa, I thought that such geriatric exhibition matches only exist in Hollywood but boy was I wrong! It seems almost anything is possible in boxing these days. And the return of two of the game’s former great into the rings is one that takes some believing. Africa’s only boxing hall of famer, Azumah Nelson ‘The professor’ due to his vast knowledge of the art of boxing, is legend number one. While Australia’s once tough-as-nails Jeff Fenech ‘The Thunder from Down Under’ is legend number two.
