Dr Tunde Soleye confirms his marriage to Nike Oshinowo has ended

After six years of marital bliss, former beauty queen Nike Oshinowo has packed out of her matrimonial home. Dr Tunde Soleye confirmed it in an interview with Encomium magazine. He said:

“We are no longer living together. Nike and I have sent out a joint statement on the issue. It is simple and clean. This is not a scandal. We had three options, the best of which is to tell the world the truth that we now live apart. We have been living apart for a couple of months now. We see occasionally. She calls me when she wants and I speak with her too. There's no fight. I have been to where she lives. We are still friends. We are going through a difficult time and we will come out of it.

I know for sure that Nike Oshinowo moved out of Dr Soleye's Lekki home mid last year and even when they stepped out together at Folorunsho Alakija's thanksgiving party in September 2012, they were already living apart. Nike now lives in VI, while Dr Soleye has moved to Parkview Estate, Ikoyi.

 

Justin Bieber Regains Twitter Crown from Lady Gaga

When Justin Bieber mooned the camera over the weekend, the message was received loudly, clearly and nakedly by a whole bunch of people.

33,333,554 and counting, to be exact, as Bieber has taken over once again as the most followed individual on Twitter, regaining the title he once owned from Lady Gaga, who is stuck at a paltry 33,328,937.

While Justin has not commented yet on the achievement, the hashtag "#33MillIonBeliebers" spread over the social media service last week after Bieber surpassed that figure.
Next up for The Biebs? Instagram, where his 6.1 million followers are creeping close to Kim Kardashian and her 6.3 million.

Mercy Johnson Name daughter Purity Okojie

Got this exclusive gist from a very close friend of the actress. Mercy and her husband have named their daughter Purity Okojie. Purity was born on Sunday December 30th 2012. Mercy is due back in Nigeria next month February. Meanwhile, I heard that some movie producers have been sending movie scripts to the actress in the US. She's been accepting them and plans to immediately hit a movie set once she returns to Nigeria.

Shakira Gives Birth to a Boy!

Shakira has given birth to her first child. For real this time!

A few weeks after Gerard Piqué pranked fans and claimed the singer had welcomed a son into the world, the couple confirmed today that Milan Piqué Mebara was born in Barcelona. He weighed in at 6 lbs, 6 oz. and mother and child are both in excellent condition.

Wrote Shakira on her website:
“The name Milan (pronounced MEE-lahn), means dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification. Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth.”
Shakira and Piqué announced their pregnancy in September and their child's gender a month later.
