Miley Cyrus has accomplished more in her first 21 years than most people will in a lifetime. As the music industry's wild child du jour can now legally down  glasses of Gatorade and Malibu , we'd like to take a moment to look back on how a little girl with a twang became a chart topping, tongue-wagging twerker in just over two decades: She started out with the best of both worlds.   Though there were controversies along the way ... She always knew how to "Party In The U.S.A."  Then Miley let everyone know she "CAN'T BE TAMED." And she started dating Liam Hemsworth.  After "Hannah Montana" ended, Miley chopped off her hair. Then came the twerk and the tongue. Followed by the end of her romance with Liam.  Of course, she recovered, and celebrated her latest achievement by sparking up a joint on stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards.  Exhausted? Well brace yourself for more, as we're sure whatever Cyrus has...

FOR years, games consoles were confined to bedrooms, where fans could blast away at characters on screen with outsize weaponry or play football games that made you feel you were really there in the stadium. It's all down to their evolution from a games centre for teenagers and guys who never grew up to an entertainment hub - streaming films, running the net, playing music - for the entire family. Microsoft's Xbox One, launched at midnight on Thursday, and Sony's new PlayStation 4, on sale this coming Friday, are now marketed as an entertainment centre for the entire household . "This is a savvy bit of marketing by both companies," Scots gaming expert Scott Munro said yesterday. "Microsoft and Sony realised that by restricting their consoles to games they were limiting their market. If they advertise them as all-singing, all-dancing media systems for the family, they open the consoles up to a much wider market. "Their idea is to market the...

One of Nigeria's most popular 90s musicians Olufemi Mayomi, aka Father U Turn, is dead. The dancehall artiste who rose from poverty as an orphan, to build a successful and inspiring career as a songwriter, recording artiste, TV presenter and performer, passed on in Lagos today, following a brief illness. He was 36 years old. The late U Turn was from Kabba-Bunu in Kogi State where he first tried his hands on entertainment, working as a radio and TV presenter. He had a brief stint at NTA in Lagos, after relocating here, before signing a deal with Ultima Records which released his early albums. He was a little boy, with braids and a charming personality. And his signature intro 'Apoola Berekete' was far beyond his stature. But he got the industry's attention and got a leg in the door before long. After years of club tours and free gigs, he got his first break when he was signed to one of the biggest record labels of the time, Ultima Records. Ultima engaged Nelson Brown ...

These are definitely not the best of times for Olawale Ashimi popularly known as Brymo.  Chocolate City, his former record label through their law firm, L & A Legal Consultants on Monday, October 21 got an injunction against him, “restraining him from recording, releasing, distributing any composition, song, musical works or carrying out any activity as a recording or performing artist through or for the benefit of any person or organisation other than Chocolate City”, pending the determination of the suit against him. What this means is simple: Brymo cannot function as an artist, unless he and his former employers settle their rift. Apparently Brymo wasn’t happy with the way Choc City was handling his career and felt it was high time he left for greener pastures. One cannot help but wonder if Brymo was in the dark over some aspects of the contract he signed with Chocolate City. Apparently, he remains their artiste till 2016. We just hope this ma...

A magazine with no Photoshop whatsoever? Yes, it  finally  exists. Changing the magazine game is clearly an uphill battle, but  Verily , a fashion and lifestyle magazine aimed at women 18-35, is making its best case. The idea for the publication began to hatch back in 2011 with the premise that most mainstream magazines for women deliver narrow and often negative messages, ones that make women feel bad about themselves rather than good and "fail to reflect our lives or our philosophies as women." They also fail to reflect what we actually look like. Thus Verily's mandate: "Whereas other magazines artificially alter images in Photoshop to achieve the so-called ideal body type or leave a maximum of three wrinkles,  Verily never alters the body or face structure of the Verily models ." As Verily's Ashley Crouch told us, the mag's co-founders Kara Eschbach and Janet Sahm believe that "the unique features of women, whether crows feet, frec...

Welcome to New York City, Princess Eugenie! We could hardly contain ourselves when we heard the stylish royal might move Stateside earlier this summer, to start a job at art auction house Paddle8.

Celebrity couple, Oby Edozie and Alex O, who got controversially married sometime ago, are now proud parents of a baby boy. According to gist, after the couple wedded in 2011, Oby took in but lost the pregnancy along the line. However, the couple are happy again, as they now have their first child together.

The star actress and movie producer secretly married very popular 90′s singer Alex O at the Ikoyi Registry on Dec 16th 2011, with just a few family and friends in attendance. Oby and Alex who dated secretly for a while before getting married, perfectly kept their relationship away from prying eyes of the press. Sources say the marriage was the second for both – Oby was married and Alex O, was also formerly married to a south African woman named Fathima.

At least now that she'd won the Glo X-Factor Nigeria, 29-year-old fast rising rapper and Geology graduate, Catherine Udeh, a.k.a, D.J Switch, can now go back home to her family. She made a public confession thereafter asking her mother to forgive her for running away from home for over a year in search of fame and fortune. Dj Switch was declared winner of the maiden edition of Globacom sponsored music reality TV show Glo X-factor held in Lagos. According to her: “I am sorry mum for being away from home for so long while in search of glory. Now that I am back, I will take good care of you,” DJ Switch declared in tears after being crowned the winner. “I was like a prodigal son who had an opportunity in the past but due to youthful exuberance I mismanaged the resources. Now, I am a better person and more matured, I won’t disappoint my mum and my fans.” The rapper who’s single, Landing Safely, will be released next week, vowed to continue working as long as she lives. “For me, it...

who actually is to blame for the roll out failure well on google play i noticed there has been a reduction of fake BBM apps to one which is claimed to be the official one updated today but on the left hand side the reviews left for the apps is not worth it so i say again RIM where is the official BBM app we've been waiting for. Although it's been a long day for those waiting for cross-platform  BBM  and those in Waterloo working to make it all happen, there was some pretty interesting news in  the status update from BlackBerry . In case you missed it, they actually added 1.1 Million users to the BBM platform without even launching the app officially.  I'm not trying to sugarcoat it,  the rollout has been a frustration and not the best experience  but again, 1.1 Million users in less than 8 hours. I guess that answers the question about whether or not people are willing to give cross-platform BBM a go. Now all that needs to happen is getting it offi...

Palace Lee/PacificCoastNews.com Well, at least she didn't have a  wardrobe malfunction . Miley Cyrus  continued making the promotional rounds for her forthcoming album  Bangerz in London Wednesday morning, where she was snapped leaving her hotel in a rather, er, interesting  ensemble. (On the up side, girl was fully clothed.) The 20-year-old pop star was all smiles in a pair of rather bizarre pants, which featured one skinny leg and one wide leg in addition to sexy sheer paneling on the skinny-leg side. PHOTOS: Miley's style evolution TGB / Splash News Cyrus skipped underwear, showing off the right side of her bum, which was strategically exposed by the minimal sheer material (à la  Gwyneth Paltrow 's  Iron Man 3   premiere gown ), while keeping her left leg covered up for the conservative quarter of her outfit. The fashionista added a matching cropped vest that concealed her tummy, as well as a tiny bra top to complete her sultry al...

Popular director Steven Spielberg was at number two with $100m (£64m). Most of his earnings came from his back catalogue of film hits such as ET and Jurassic Park – which has just been released in 3D to mark its 20th anniversary – as well as last year’s Oscar winning Lincoln. The director also takes a cut of all ticket sales at Universal Studios theme parks. Third place was a three-way tie between 50 Shades of Grey author EL James, Simon Cowell and shock jock Howard Stern, with earnings of $95m (£61m).
