GENEVIEVE TALKS ABOUT THE SEXIEST PART OF HER BODY PLUS HER UNDYING LOVE FOR JOHNNY DEPP

By Niyi Tabiti

For more than ten years, Genevieve has been a top star in Nollywood, making money from blockbuster movies and brand endorsements.But the Imo state born Nollywood actress  still believe there is still more to her than most people don't knew.

In an interview monitored by gistmaster.com , Genevieve declared her waist as the best part of her body. " I like my waist because it’s small and neat and gives me my hourglass figure" Genevieve told New African woman magazine.

Genevieve who started acting at the age of 8,when she starred in ripples , a soap running on TV in the late 80s/early 90s, says she did not set out to be famous  she just wanted to act and exhibit her creative talent but mother luck smiled on her

How she tells the fake friends from the real ones, Genevieve said, “At first it was difficult but now I have developed automatic radar to detect fakers and get rid of them before they can even say my name"

"The industry is full of fake people, which is why it’s so important for me to have true people around me and my family and friends. I can count my friends on one hand with Vicky being my oldest friend. We share everything together and she comes everywhere with me" Genevieve poured out her mind confidently

“When the camera stops rolling I go back to whom I really am. I am a different person when there are no cameras, when I am by myself I am very reserved and so are my friends.

The 32 year old actress and single mother of one says  she would love to star in a movie alongside Johnny Depp and also have a man like him in her life.

"I find him a very deep actor, mostly because he represents what I represent, he acts for himself and he picks out roles that he enjoys. It’s not about the movie being commercial”.

On her ideal man, Genevieve answered, “Well, we all want a handsome man, but ultimately we want one that is good inside. But I would love to meet someone with a Johnny Depp personality and with Boris Kodjo’s lips.Perhaps, Dbanj who is being speculated to be in a relationship with Genevieve is still somewhere near this.

Though many feels, Genevieve didn't make much impact with her St. Genevieve clothing line, which she launched in 2008, she says she still want to do more in fashion. At the moment, she is setting off her Denim Jeans line.

" I design simple clothes using African prints and I design for the confident woman who loves to look beautiful. But I am also a bit of a tomboy and I have loads of jeans, which inspired me to design my own collection. I just love jeans and how it can make you look relaxed yet elegant if you know how to pull it off" Genevieve said.

She mentioned that she had been designing since primary school and she would definitely love to do more in the fashion world.

Genny says despite all her achievements, she is yet to be satisfied. According to her she won’t stop until she gets the Oscar.

MEGA BUCKS FOR THE FINE ACTRESS: AY COMEDIAN AND HIS DREAM ROMANCE WITH GENEVIEVE NNAJI

By Niyi Tabiti

For eight years running, Genevieve Nnaji, the stylish Nollywood actress has remained in the league of the most famous and valuable personalities ever produced by the Nigerian movie industry.

More so, Genevieve remain one  of the most talked about and one of the most eligible single ladies in Nigeria. Everyone want  a piece of the actress.Gistmaster.com gathered that even the big stars want her in their work too and they are ready to pay.

Trust the ' omo ibo' she knows how to make money. Ayo Makun the popular comedian known as AY shot a creative to promote his upcoming show on 24 April 2011 (Easter Sunday). Ay is so excited about the work that they have started showing it on TV

In the creative watched by gistmaster.com, Ay was seen going into a hotel room with AY, he was so excited that he wanted to put Genevieve on the bed almost immediately but Genny told him to relaxed that she wanted to go and shower. Making a seductive moves with a dress that was revealing a good part of her boobs, Genevieve told Ay that she would give him his heart desire. Apparently happy, Ay let Genny go to the bathroom and the camera showed him pulling off his clothes in excitement. It was all a dream as AY was shown waking up on the bed. He searched frantically for Genevieve but she was not there. few seconds later, he heard a knock, thinking it was Genevieve, he opened and saw the room attendant. He almost cut the guy to pieces with his teeth!lol

Sources told Gistmaster.com that Genevieve was paid some good money for the work. Just like what she did with D'Banj, she is also working with AY comedian to pull public attention to his work using another dimension.D'banj gistmaster gathered, also paid Genevieve  good money for the video of 'You don make me fall in love"

Genny careless about all the hullabaloo of  romance with D'banj and all that stuff. she is a businesswoman. At least if she misses the big endorsement and mega bucks that Glo Mobile gave to some Nollywood stars, she can make do with entertainers who want her attention in their work.

Another source close to the Imo State born actress told gistmaster.com last night that Genevieve has a management company.

"Genevieve is not the type that does things for free. She must have been paid but I can tell you how much"

GENEVIEVE,OMOTOLA SETTLES MISUNDERSTANDING+GENEVIEVE AND RITA DOMINIC SETTLES QUERREL TOO.

Years after two nollywood star actresses,Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde and Genevieve Nnaji drifted apart because of what many tagged 'supremacy war', the two seems to have settled their differences.

According to a story written by Bola Akinboade,Genevieve and Omotola have settled their querrel and they now appear cool with each other. At the recent event hosted by style Icon,Nike Oshinowo Soleye, the shared a lt of them together as they moved around like siamese twins. It would be recalled that Genevieve and Omotola have not been on good terms for years. It was an open thing in Nollywood that the two fell apart based on the battle for 'who should respect who in Nollywood?' or 'who is the hottest in nollywood?'

There was a time over who should be the highest paid and endorsement portfolios.Many people believe that the two actresses are both valuable in their rights. "Yes, Genevieve got mega deal with Lux some years (which was not reviewed) but Omotola too done several modelling jobs and product endorsements (far more than what Genevieve has done).

Today, Genevieve and Omotola re no more as visible as before in movies.

Another Good news reported in this week's City People Magazine is that Genevieve and Rita Dominic have also settled their differences. This is indeed the harvest of re-conciliation in Nigeria movie industry.We gathered that Rita Dominic and Genevieve Nnaji are now cool together after what many regarded as 3 years of misunderstanding.The two were sighted by journalists at an event in Lagos. Unlike before when they both don't get along, they were in each others company and even took photographs together.

Taiwo Obatunsin loaded entertainment community with the gist of Mercy Aigbe, a leading Yoruba movie practitioner is pregnant for her hotelier husband. The actress confirmed the story when Taiwo called her.So, if you don't see much of her in town or in movies, just know that she is undergoing the compulsory 9 month course.

Ofcourse, there was Red carpet and fashion show.The models did their part of the show wonderfully well.There were so many Lagos chics here and there and they enjoyed themselves.
However, if you are thinking that the event would parade all 'heavy weights ' from Nollywood because of Genevieve you are far from the point.There absentism has been tagged a signal that Genevieve may want to concentrate more on the thriving fashion business in Nigeria than appearing in movies (?) . Any ways,those who came made her day.

REPORTER's DIARY:QUEENS OF NOLLYWOOD

  By Niyi Tabiti

When I got this beautiful cover of Genevieve Magazine, I was very excited that our actresses are looking beyond their "make believe job"- A lot of them are giving so much to looking good.I was not surprise when I saw the names that made the cover. Genevieve Nnaji, Ini Edo, Kate Henshaw Nuttal and Rita Dominic are all epitome of glamour and beauty.
    That doesnt mean that is all Nollywood can get. Younger actresses like Ebube Nwangbo, Rukky Sanda, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe and others are head turners too.
  Kate Henshaw, who is the oldest amongst the actresses  gives attention to details. I remember some months back when I took a visiting German journalist to Kate Henshaw for an interview, the guy look at Kate and while guessing her age, he said Kate couldn't have been more than 25 or 26!!!Ofcourse, Kate herself laughed. It was all a compliment anyway, though she is in her late 30s, she look ravishing.I have photographed her several times and the result has always been wonderful.
 Genevieve Nnaji- She is obviously the most talked about actress in Nigeria movie industry today.Genevieve has a gift of heavenly beauty.Aside her looks, the truth must be told, Genevieve is a good actress.She interprets her role well and that is why she is the first choice of movie buyers. Many people don't like her "I am larger than life attitude" but they can't resist photos on the cover of  a magazine.I have quite a number of her photographs, which i took at different functions in my collections.
Ini Edo Ehigwina- She is Nigeria's most controversial actress (though our dear friend,Mercy Johnson is dragging that position with her).Like her or hate her, she s deliciously sexy and an embodiment of beauty. She has curves and just anything she wears would bring out her figure 8.No other actress has earned so much knocks or has rumour peddled about her than the Akwa Ibom state born star. She like exotic wines and she shark them well.
 I have photographed Ini Edo too at various times,both within and outside Lagos.The result has always been wondrous.Ini Edo sometimes get it wrong in her dressing (according to the verdicts of our readers).
Rita Dominic: Rita is ever stunning. Just when you think that  a star of her status should be soaked in ornament,she comes out simple.She does her calculation well and that is why she keeps winning our heart.She is smoking hot with elegance.For now, she is still the reigning queen of fashion in Nollywood based on her appearance.I have photographed Rita too and i know that she would make the cover of any beautiful magazine like this!!!

Data Okorodudu made so much sense by making these top Nollywood girls look like any "marketable" superstar that one would find in Hollywood. Lets also thank Mrs.Betty Irabor, the founder of Genevieve Magazine for raising the standard with this cover.

GENEVIEVE NNAJI PHOTOS:THE MORE YOU LOOK, THE MORE YOU SEE

Most people can't just take their eyes off Genevieve.I respect Genevieve and Omotola, for one thing, they have been in the limelight for more than ten years, yet their 'market value' have not depreciated. They have also used every opportunity to portray their 'divalicious' status to the highest level.
 Genevieve, whom many thought have left Nollywood some years back, staged a return and this time in a bigger way. Genevieve is not just that Igbo girl from Mbaise, Imo State, she has indeed turned into a big brand.
 I love the total package of Genevieve in the picture.

Genevieve Nnaji 'Nigerian Dream'

 Genevieve Nnaji is hot on the new cover of Y! Magazine! - Nigeria's Sweetheart headlines the 'Nigerian Dream' Issue. Straight from its exclusive cover interview with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, Y! Magazine berths right on time with another exclusive interview with actress, Genevieve Nnaji - who never seems to go out of fashion, and readers are already excited!

Themed 'The Nigerian Dream' Issue, this edition explores the wide polarities of living and growing in Nigeria - on the one hand, a country where dreams are born and where you can enjoy a full, rich life of fulfilment and excitement; and on the other, a country  that gives so little and takes so much.

"It speaks both to the ideals we aspire to and the realities we live with as Nigerians," says its editor, Chude Jideonwo. "Juxtaposing powerful images of loss, of want and of need with glamorous shoots, sparkling
editorials and of course a delightful mishmash of the season's pop culture highlights. It's a full meal!"

On the other hand, Cover girl Genevieve opens up to Jideonwo about her rise from "everyday girl" to "everyone's favourite girl" in a spectacular shoot photographed  by Kelechi Amadi-Obi, styled by Maryanne Alabi and Yolanda Okereke with make-up and hair by Ugo (Make Me) and David (for MUD Studios). Recalling her first audition, the rumours of a Bond girl role, and her many endorsements, Genevieve tells parts of her story many haven't heard  before, and makes a clear statement: "I think the problem is a lot of  people have forgotten where I am coming from."

 As usual of course, there are entertainment and lifestyle reviews and
interviews - including TY Bello, Lami, Matilda Obaseki, Joseph Benjamin,
Makida Moka, and others; and "the high priest of Nigeria's pop culture'
 also presents fashion extraordinaire with a fabulous photo shoot aptly
themed Colour Deluxe. Yemi Olowu, Onyinye, Fafi Obi and Obi Somto light up
the pages with summer colour!

 The magazine juxtaposes two visions of Nigeria; one where 'dreams are born' and one where 'dreams die'.

Fresh off the captivating Genevieve tale, the theme continues with a piece about the rise of Nigeria's new set of technology visionaries with their eyes of Twitter, Facebook and Groupon; as well the tale of how the
revolutionary ReVoDa mobile app was developed. And in Bikes, Boats and Balls, 'Gbenga Awomodu takes a trip through Luxury Lane, profiling Nigeria's fine breed of bikers, golfers and boat lovers.

 On the other hand, are exclusive interviews by Isioma Osaje with young youth corps members who almost lost their lives in post-election violence in the North. A gripping essay by 'Funlayo Akinosi on the battle to  survive in Nigeria, and a fiery debate between young intellectuals Amara  Nwakpa and Cheta Nwanze on the question of Nigeria as a failed state.

 In between, are a delicious piece by fashion designer and columnist Rukky Ladoja who makes the case for her obsession with shoes; a feature on the end of Balogun Market as we know it and the rise of sexy new shopping complexes by rave style columnist Ifeanyi Dike JR, and a feisty 'Who're You Calling A Spoilt Rich Kid' piece by 'Ifreke Inyang, amongst others. The inimitable Tolu Ogunlesi also takes a critical look at CNN big shot Piers Morgan in 'The second - or third - coming of Piers.'

YESTERDAY IN LAGOS...SUPER ACTRESS,GENEVIEVE STEPS OUT IN STYLE

Niyi Tabiti
Chief Reporter

Genevieve Nnaji, one of Nigeria’s most adored actresses, was the cynosure of all eyes yesterday at the maiden award night put together by Wedding Planner magazine in Lagos. The event took place at Expo Centre, Oceanview in Victoria Island.
Genevieve who looked every inch like a supermodel, sat down with her collegue, Kate Henshaw-Nuttal.They both enjoyed themselves, as they shared memories of past episodes together.
It would be recalled that shortly after her one year endorsement deal with Lux beauty soap, Genevieve became less visible on the social scene. Genevieve’s appearance in movies also depreciated. While speaking with www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com yesterday, the Imo State born award winning actress declared that her non appearance in most productions is a matter of choice. She has to be comfortable with terms before can accept scripts.It is not as if she has dumped acting for something else
Award winners at the occasion include Banke Meshida and Tara Fela-Durotoye.The likes of Arinola Adeniyi of Venivici Spa and Chief Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation International magazine were in attendance.

OREKELEWA BY TARA FELA DUROTOYE,SWE BAR OTHERS SET FOR RITA DOMINIC'S PRESENTATION!

Nollywood diva and fashion sophisticate, Miss Rita Dominic would be the centre attraction at a presentation in her honour slated for A-list celebrity hangout, Swe Bar, Onikan, Lagos on Saturday 11 October 2008. Top paparazzi, journalists and movie practitioners are expected to be part of the presentation.
Rita Dominic was adjudged the best dressed Nollywood actress following massive reactions and a poll conducted by Gistmaster, Nigeria’s foremost daily celebrity news/photos online tabloid. According to http://www.niyitabiti.blogspot.com/ the facilitators of the poll, Nigerians from different parts of the world tapped into the global opportunities of the internet to vote for their favorite stars and at the end of the poll spanning about 3 three months (we started in June), Rita Dominic came tops with the highest vote, closely followed by Genevieve Nnaji.We got thousands of comments, text messages and phone calls from lovers of the movie industry.
Apart from Swe Bar, the classy hangout for top celebrities, top make up artist, Orekelewa, a leading make up product owned by Tara Fela Durotoye and SHARE by Tosyn Bucknor are also co-sponsors of the event. Tara is a role model in Nigeria's beauty industry. She has done bridal make up for Nigeria's richest families.Right now, her fast moving make up line has provided employment opportunities to thousands of undergraduates and young school leavers.

A model in the United States of America has also sent us beautiful clothes as part of goodies meant for the winner.

We are overwhelmed by the massive reactions we got from Nigerians over the world. We saw many interesting comments.It was a real eye opener to the value glamour play in the acting business.

Apart from the votes, we took a step ahead by consulting with about 40 journalists and celebrities and at the end; Rita also emerged as the first. On and off screen, Rita continues to be a pacesetter in her well turned out fabric.
In her comment, Estella, a top fashion designer based in the America stated “As a Fashion Designer, I give her (Rita) the thmbsup! She dresses good. Nothing like what everyone else is wearing...she has her own style and not afraid to experiment.... Am looking forward to having her in one of my haute couture designs soon”
Mia a blogger commented thus “Rita, Omotola, Genevieve and Stephanie all look good for the most part. They all have their moments, but at the least they always look CLEAN, APPRORIATE, and PRESENTABLE. Let’s not forget that all four are in good shape (though in different sizes).

“Omotola, after four kids looks AMAZING! Stephanie always knows what looks good on her. Genevieve keeps it together and could loosen up sometimes but she is definitely a beautiful girl. And my favorite Rita ALWAYS keeps it NEAT and SIMPLE! From her hair to her makeup, she shows up to every event looking CLASSY!”
Another person wrote “RITAAAAAAAAAAAAAA all the way men. You could accuse her of anything, but in my book she could never be guilty of not dressing right and representing not just herself but Naija chicks well...she’s my girl any day”
Another reader figure out that “Like someone already said, this is not a popularity contest. Right Niyi? So when is comes to dressing, Rita gets it right for the most part on and off screen. She knows what suits her, her signature hair is always fresh and tidy. She takes risks, and is always interesting. Omotola is another one who gets it right all the time.

Stephanie is really good with gowns but her pants are always too short for her. Because of her height, she needs to shop in "tall women" for trousers. Dakore should definitely be on this list. She is gorgeous; she's fit, and very trendy. Kate also should be on the list. Genevieve on the other hand would be #1 or 2 on best actress, but not on this list.

An entertainmen journalist states “Truth be told, I cannot get past counting on one hand the ladies in Nollywood that should go for best dressed. But am going be nice and try to raise the number to more than 5. Hey ladies we talking best dressed here and good looking or beautiful and blah blah blah, lets not stray ok?Here is my review.

“I honestly think Rita is the best dressed. She always turns up simple and elegant. Even in her movies, I have never caught her looking off or dressed awfully. Her jewellery is always on point with what she wears and the functions. It takes a fashion conscious person to know the sort of fashion that suits the function.
She pays attention to her skin color-cloth selection (part of the reason she does not look like a disco light or appear dirty unlike some people we know in Nollywood). Though I must admit Rita takes some risk that turn out flawless. She probably has the same fleshy body like ini but she hides yet flaunts her body without looking like a TRAMP! I give her 89%. Well her low point is her signature headties……first they well cool now they are so old,so predictable.

Stella Damasus on the other hand just like Rita cannot be caught dressing awful. She keeps her game tight. She just does it without effort which is probably the difference. On set and off set she dresses amazingly well. She gets 85% for being her…..a natural fashionista! “People have ignored Dakore……why? She dresses well. Never overdoes it or makes an effort about her dressings. Though wearing on type of hair (dreads) could blind some people’s fashion 3rd eye I can look beyond it. I know when people tend to wear the same hair it makes people overlook details. Dakore in her movies looks just great and looks even better away from the set. She is HAWT! She surprises with her dressing because to those who overlook the details, they think Dakore and their minds think “pair of pants and top with amazing healthy dreads” but HELL NAW!!! She is not afraid to surprise us with her –BE SPOKE style. She gets 82%”

Lesson-Dressing is not how much it cost you to buy your Tommy Hilfiger, Prada or any label but wearing the right thing at the right time. We have taken photos of most red carpet events in Nigeria and found out that in the process of imitating Hollywood stars, our celebrities often make some obvious mistakes.for instance "don't wear evening gown to a boat cruise!"

The Central Working Committee for Nigeria’s most respected youth event, The Future Awards, has decided to unveil the long list for the biggest award, Young Person of the Year, one week before schedule!

“We are very excited by what we have come up with this year – so excited that we have 10 names on the list this rather than the usual 8,” says Shade Ladipo, a member of the committee. “And we thought we should share that excitement!”

All the nominees for Young Person of the Year have been taken out of the various categories as always and identified as trailblazing role models for young Nigerians,” Ladipo said. “They are all winners, and so they will all be given plaques like last year. Also, they will not go through the 4 stages of judging for the awards, only one stage for voting and one stage for judging since all of them are finalists and will be so recognized at the awards.
