Hey Everyone!!!
How are things going?
How was your weekend? Mine was alright….I didnt do much really….I went to see Oceans 13 – Brad Pitt + George Clooney = Uber Hot…LOL…Y’all should check it out!
Anyways, I decided to do something a lil’ bit different today.
As much as I feel that Africans are underrepresented in the media, there are some African celebrities that get some airtime.
Here are some African celebs at recent events and in recent mags. I decided to throw in a couple of tidbits and family photos too. Sooo ENJOY!

Oluchi is quoted to have said “The day I went for my sonogram, I called Luca immediately to tell him it was a boy.
