Lol. So according to the international passport he posted on
his instagram page yesterday, Kaffy's husband and PSquare's drummer Joseph Ameh was born May 23rd 1988 (circled above). That makes him 25. Kaffy DanceQueen was born in 1980, which means she's eight years older than her boo.
So you mean to tell me that before Toyin Lawani there was Kaffy? Wow.

Sorry ladies, we've lost another hot
one to the men. Damn! Who would
have thunk it? Anyone surprised he's gay?

Wentworth, who played the lead character Michael Scofield in Prison Break came out as a gay man yesterday August 21 via an open letter to the Saint Petersburg Film Festival, rejecting an invitation to attend a premiere there because of Russia's recently-passed anti-gay
laws.

The 41-year-old actor wrote:

Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes. However, as a gay man, I must decline.
I am deeply troubled by the current
attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian
government. The situation is in no
way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a
celebratory occasion hosted by a
country where people like myself are being systematically denied their
basic right to live and love openly.
Perhaps, when and if circumstances
improve, I'll be free to make a
different choice.
Until then. Wentworth Miller

A year after his wife Connie Madubuko died, the Head Pastor of Revival Assembly Church, Apostle Anselm Madubuko is getting ready to marry 33 year old Kenyan gospel artist, Emmy Kosgei. Their wedding will hold on Saturday August 31 at Revival Miracle Cathedral in Lagos. Apostle Madubuko explains why he's remarrying so soon.

He tells Encomium magazine:
"It is how I have chosen to do it. I have decided to move on. I found out that even 10 years will not be enough to forget my late wife. 20 years still will not be enough to forget my late wife. The time anybody remarries has nothing to do with your former partner. And that's one thing people fail to understand. We were married for many years and suddenly I was left alone. It's about many things, companionship. Once that person close to you goes, you can never forget the person. It is a matter of picking up one's pieces and moving on. I can't forget Connie, she was my life, it's just about moving on. I don't listen to people. If you re-marry or don't re-marry people must talk. I thought I wasn't going to re-marry but God said that is not his plans for me. He chose Emmy Kosgei for me. I chose to trust God more than my mind. I am looking forward to having more

Thought this lady had given her life to Christ? For those who don't know her, Maheeda, real name Caroline Sam, became an orphan at age 13 and with no one to help her turned to prostitution. But she later gave her life to Christ (according to her) and turned to music.

In an interview with The Sun early this year, Maheed talked about her struggles to quit prostitution and turning to God for help
"...Even after getting married I still have this urge of going out to meet a man. But I felt it should not be so.

I’m trying to let people know there is a spirit behind prostitution, if not, why after getting married, I have everything, I live in Lekki, I’m driving a very big car and my husband gives me whatever I want, so why would I still feel like going into prostitution? There is a spirit behind it. I continued prostitution even after getting married. The only thing that changed me was being born again and being delivered."

Has she been undelivered? Now she's talking about sleeping with random men. See it after the cut
