You a have a unique chance to enjoy Rihanna's perfume poster that has been banned in areas where children are likely to see it.
WARNING - NUDITY
Rihanna's ad poster was banned in areas with children
After Riri's scandalous appearance in a super-see-through dress at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards
(CFDA), it's hard to imagine how else a kinky pop-star can shock
you. This time a candid and provocative ad poster was banned by the
Advertising Standards Agency for being offensively sexual, demeaning to
women. Such a decision was taken after a single complaint was sent to
the agency by one of the disgruntled citizens.
The advert shows a
singer on the floor with her head and shoulders leaning against a wall
and her legs raised against a large bottle of Rogue perfume. Although
the company, Parlux Fragrances, that took part in creating the poster
tried to convince the agency workers that Rihanna's image shows a strong
woman 'one with the courage to challenge boundaries' and does not
reflect improper nudity or offensive or suggestive imagery, their
attempts failed.
It
is not the first time Rihanna's advert has caused controversy, in 2012
two explicit posters brought her a status of a 'no go' for the brand’s
family image
In a statement the Advertising Standards Authority said:
"While we did not consider the image to be overtly sexual, we
considered that Rihanna’s pose, with her legs raised in the air, was
provocative. Because of this, and the fact that Rihanna appeared to be
naked except for high heels, we concluded that the ad was sexually
suggestive and should have been given a placement restriction to reduce
the possibility of it being seen by children."
It is not the
first time Rihanna's advert has caused controversy. Only in 2012 at
least two explicit posters caused mixed reactions and brought her a
status of a 'no go' for the brand’s family image. Rihanna has also
appeared in racy advertisements for Armani, Budweiser, Mac and French
fashion range Balmain.

Nigerians Making Huge Sales From World Cup Fever
Less than six days before the 20th FIFA World Cup kicks off
in Brazil, Nigerian traders are saying they are bumper says on their
goods.
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that electronics and electrical appliances dealers at Alaba International Market, Ojo, Lagos State are the ones reaping the benefits the most.
It was gathered at the market that traders have been making good sales since some weeks ago because of the global football competition.
Some of the traders who spoke to NAN on the impact of the imminent competition on their businesses said they foresaw better sales ahead.
“Football is a culture in Nigeria and anything that can enable us to catch a glimpse of the World Cup feast will be sought for.
“For the past few days now, the demand for the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) type of television sets have increased unlike what the situation was few months ago,” Mr Obinna Ojiego, a television seller said.

According to him, the increase in sale of electronics shows the huge interests Nigerians attach to football and especially to the world cup.
Another dealer, Uzo Onukwe, disclosed that with the competition few days away, he has been recording sales of five to 10 Flat Screen sets daily.
Onukwe informed that 'we always look forward to World Cup to make more sales'.
“Although there is no prize hike of the products, the joy of it is that the turnover is impressive at a faster rate,” he added.
A generator set seller, Mr Nzube Umeh, also stated that he had noticed an improved sales because of the forthcoming World Cup.
“The incessant power outage in the country has made Nigerians who do not want their watching matches on television to be disrupted during the competition have resorted to purchasing electricity generating sets.
“In anticipation of the competition and its accruing increase in sales, I have placed order for new products of good qualities,” Umeh said.

Selena Gomez "Feels Sorry" for Justin Bieber Following Racist Video Leak
Selena Gomez doesn't want Justin Bieber back - she's made that much clear on several occasions.
Still, their on and off relationship went on for years (and Bieber took Gomez' virginity, a fact he brings up whenever given the chance) ,so it's only natural that she still has some emotions attached to her former flame.
According to sources close to Selena, in the wake of the Bieber racist video scandal, those emotions mostly take the form of pity for her jackass ex.
Sources close to Selena say that the singer "feels sorry" for Justin and has expressed a desire to see him get the help that he needs.
That said, her camp has reportedly encouraged to keep her distance from Justin while this scandal plays out, so we guess he'll have to look elsewhere for a shoulder to cry on.
We're sure that bony shoulder will belong to a runway model, as Justin's mind-blowingly racist videos seem to have not hurt his standing in the celebrity community at all.
Entertainers ranging from Lil Wayne to Whoopi Goldberg have come to Justin's defense and offered a wide array of explanations for his bizarrely racist "jokes."
Only time will tell what sort of impact these clips will have on Justin's career in the long-term, but one this is for certain, as more videos leak showing a very ugly side of Justin, Selena must become more and more certain that she made the right choice in going her own way.

Chris Brown, Karrueche Celebrate Jail Release at Welcome Home Party: See the Pics!
Chris Brown celebrated his release from jail Thursday night at a big
bash in his honor, partying with girlfriend Karrueche Tran and a bunch
of friends.
Even as he swears he's never going back to jail and is ready to cut toxic influences (and substances) out of his life to ensure that he keeps it clean.
Brown arrived with Karrueche, who blindfolded him before bringing him
inside, where the crowd went crazy as his song "Loyal" played in the
background.
Along the stars on hand: Tyga, Big Sean, Amber Rose and T-Pain, who tells TMZ there was no weed inside ... though some attendees looked out of it.
Even if there were temptations there, you can't blame the R&B singer, who didn't know about the event and reportedly didn't partake in any drinking.
Another source insists that despite the famous crowd, it was low-key.
"Everyone was in an amazing mood and happy to have Chris back," an insider dished. "Karreuche was there and everybody was talking about how supportive she's been."
That part is undeniably true. They're a modern-day John and Yoko.
Brown tweeted about his release from jail in the early hours of June 2, writing, "Humbled and Blessed ... Back to the Music and the Fans ... Thank you GOD."
Chris is said to be overwhelmingly grateful to Karrueche for her support. "They gave each other kisses, and he put his arms around her here and there."
Here's hoping she - and the rest of the people close to Brown - keep supporting him in a positive way and helping him turn his troubled life around.

Nigerian Entertainment Industry To Hold First Health Insurance Convention
The awareness and knowledge of health insurance among the
practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry has become imperative. Due
to the absence of it, the industry has lost several of its well loved musicians
and actors to dreadful sicknesses like renal failure, fatal accidents and other
vices while trying to raise funds. This has however necessitated the need for a
well structured health insurance policy and cover for the entertainment
industry.
The Nigerian
Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention is designed as a customized
learning and education platform for the practitioners of the entertainment
industry and invariably members of the public at large to understand the
importance of health insurance and at the same time embrace it.
The convention seeks to create special
insurance covers and policies for the practitioners of the entertainment
industry. Also, to illuminate complex issues of health care practice and policy
by bringing together leading-edge doers and thinkers - from operations to
academia, from clinical practice to corporate management. The convention delineates perspectives of
stakeholders throughout the healthcare community in addressing broad issues and
the type of health insurance to go for.
Some of topics to be discussed at the convention are; The
health implications of celebrity life styles, Benefits of Health Insurance
Policies, Health Insurance Policy …at what cost?, The health insurance
policy…how dependable? and The Role of Government in Health Insurance Policies
The convention is presented by Nigerian Entertainment
Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) and is in partnership with National Health
Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Lagos State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Medical
Association. It is billed to hold on July 22nd, 2014 at the Grand Ball Room of
Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
It is absolutely very sad seeing our entertainers beg for
money from fans and government alike when they are down with life threatening
ailments. Other professionals suffer similar fates and sometimes they cannot
afford treatment but they seldom embark on aggressive media campaigns of such
magnitudes like their entertainment counterparts. This has however resulted to
a big shame and public ridicule.
Fan Blames Kefee's Sickness On Her Attack On COZA Pastor
For some days now, top Nigerian gospel singer, Kefee has been in a state of coma. She was said to have collapsed onboard a flight to Chicago and was rushed to the hospital after the plane made an emergency landing because of her.
Her husband, Teddy Esosa, who is now in the US to be with her, also urged Nigerians to pray for his wife to recover from the coma.
All over the social media platforms, celebrities like Waje, MC Abbey and others have joined in the ‘Pray For Kefee’ campaign.
But for a fan named Rare Gentle, he blamed the singer for her present predicament. Gentle claimed that Kefee, in an interview with Encomium Magazine in February, described Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of COZA as "so called man of God".
Below is what Gentle wrote on his Facebook page;
You must have heard that gospel artiste Kefee, the 'kokoroko' crooner is presently in coma after she slumped on a flight bound for Chicago.
I couldn't help but randomly think yesterday that maybe this has something to do with an interview she granted Encomium in February & lashed out at Rev. Biodun of COZA referring to him as "so called man of God".
While I don't quite agree with the church suddenly cancelling her engagement with them when d scandal about her failed marriage was rife, attacking the Church or a man of God never ends well.
When Christ announced Peter as the Rock of the Church, he established the Authority of the Church on the earth (whether d world likes us or not). NO MAN OR GOVERNMENT can bring d church down; Idahosa proved it to Babangida's govt, Oyakhilome has proved it since 2001, Fatoyinbo proved it after the Ese scandal, Ashimolowo has proved it to the UK govt, Adelaja has literally subdued the Ukrainian govt.
Another truth is that Men of God get level- some carry a weight of glory more than others.
And though Pastors are not perfect, they are like Parents; their prayers, words & insight has empowered millions to experience unimaginable breakthroughs who hitherto were broken, poor & dejected. ONLY A CHILD WHO IS A FOOL TURNS AGAINST THE PARENTS BKOS OF A SCANDAL. So just bkos a congregation sticks to its pastor even after a scandal doesn't mean they are brainwashed, its simply bkos they are children who love their father unconditionally.
So Father, we ask that you have mercy on, heal & restore back our sweet kefee in Jesus Name. Thank you for answering bkos we still need her beautiful voice.” (NigeriaFilms.com)
