Nigerian veteran actor and lead character of the popular Soap opera, Tinsel Victor Olaotan states the reason why he left Tinsel. When asked What led to his exit from Tinsel?
He said, "Towards the end, I found out that the company was not taking care of us like they should. We were contractors and we didn’t get any bonuses. I expected that we should be able to live in big houses and drive in nice cars and these were our demands. We had deals with bigger companies and they promised to give us cars and many essential goodies but all that bottomed-out for Tinsel. I soon found out that these things were not forthcoming. I demanded what I thought was commensurate for someone like me to earn but that didn’t work out and that was how I took a walk".

"I can’t say for real, because I have done a couple of big projects like the one I am at present doing featuring Olu Jacobs, Desmond Elliot and Rachael Oniga. I have also done a few here and there".

I did film acting, it is like a certificate programme and I have learnt over the years on the job too. By now, the way I had it in mind when I finished school, I should have had my second Master’s degree if not Ph.D. Each time I think along that line, other things come to mind and I am not happy about that. When you see me again, I might just be finishing a particular course.”

Will Smith's new action drama "Focus" booted the kinky sex tale "Fifty Shades of Grey" for its perch atop U.S. and Canadian weekend box office charts, racking up $19.1 million in ticket sales.

"Kingsman: The Secret Service", an adaptation of a popular comic series which stars Samuel L. Jackson and Colin Firth about a spy agency's training program and a global threat by a tech genius, also outpaced "Grey" to claim second place with $11.8 million.

Third place on a weekend that saw business hampered by rough winter weather in the south and midwest again went to the family-friendly "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water", based on the popular television show about a talking animated sponge. It sold $11.2 million in tickets.

"Grey," the smash hit adaptation of the best-selling novel which stars James Dornan and Dakota Johnson as the libidinous couple, took in $10.9 million, landing in fourth from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates. The film is closing in on $148 million at the domestic box office since opening just over two weeks ago.

Rounding out the top five, "The Lazarus Effect," which stars Mark Duplass and Olivia Wilde as researchers trying to resurrect the dead, took the No. 5 spot on its opening weekend with $10.6 million in sales. Source: Reuters.com

Will Smith Says His Rich Son Jaden Smith Has Only One Pair Of Shoes

In a recent interview with Esquire Magazine, Hollywood actor, Will Smith revealed his youngest son, Jaden Smith, has just one pair of
shoes. Why? Because Jaden simply refuses to be a “slave to money,” and doesn’t want to feel like he needs anything material that badly.
With the young boy making a name for himself recently for being so odd, Will gave a bit of insight into the way his youngest son thinks. He
told Esquire:
"You never lose the mentality. It’s such a strange thing. Jaden, my sixteen-year-old, he has one pair of shoes. He has three pair of pants and he has five shirts Total.
He has refused to be a slave to money, i so respect that. The younger generation is less of an ownership generation, anyway.
And it’s such an interesting thing to
watch, because I came from a middle- class background, but, you know, our lights and gas would be cut off from not paying the bill.
I grew up in a house where you would need the kerosene heaters in the winter in case the bills didn’t get paid. And he’s from the complete other end of the spectrum. And it’s so interesting to me that from growing up in that space, he could see the need for things in a way
that he’s rejecting.
He’s like, “I’m not gonna let myself need things in that way” — but I would like him to get another pair of shoes.''

solid foundation for lasting peace.
“When young people work and play together,love grows, there is also peace in that society.

We just pray that we get the required funds to do that,” Aki said. Source: Vanguardngr.com

Oscar-nominated war film "American Sniper" led U.S. and Canadian box office charts over the weekend with a record- smashing $90.2 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates. “American Sniper” is not only a cinematic masterpiece.

Terror and the incredible men who fight and die for us, in a way that is both emotionally complex, patriotic, heartbreaking, and rousing. Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution at the Time Warner Inc. unit Warner Bros., which distributed "American Sniper," said it had
become "an instant cultural phenomenon."

Kevin Hart: I Won't Play a Gay Character

During an interview with New York's Power 105.1 radio station, Kevin Hart admitted to turning down the role of Alpa Chino in 2008's Tropic Thunder because he didn't feel comfortable playing a gay role and that part was played in the film by Brandon T. Jackson. Hart explained that the draft of the script he read was different from the shooting script. "The dude, he was doing a lot of stuff in the draft that I read," Hart said. "It was real flagrant. I was like, 'I can't do this.' "Hart was then asked whether he would ever play a gay character. "I can't," he said. "Not because I have any ill will or disrespect. It's
because I don't think I'm really going to dive into that role 100 percent because of insecurities about myself trying to play that
part. Does that make sense?" Hart,made it clear that he doesn't have an issue with the gay community. "As people, I love you," he said. He added that he may change his mind
years from now on playing a gay role, once he gets more acting experience.
