Katy Perry warns that selfies are a disease

Katy Perry thinks selfies are a disease.

The Roar hitmaker was enjoying her weekend at Coachella music festival in California when she was asked by a fan to take part in the
recent craze - which has people posing for their own pictures while taking the photo themselves - but refused until her admirer also agreed to appear in the photograph with her.

The star later wrote on Twitter: "Dear festival friends remember, selfing is a disease. (sic)"
Dear festival friends remember, selfing is a disease. 😳📷
Katy was joined by stylist Johnny Wujek at Harper Bazaar's private Shop Bazaar pool party at The Parker Palm Springs on Friday and though she was looking forward to taking in some music, she planned to just "go with the flow" as she didn't have anything definite lined up for the weekend.

She told Pret-a-Reporter: "I'm just going with the flow. I don't have a schedule."

On Saturday Katy - who recently split from John Mayer - was seen hanging out with Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson at the H&M Loves Music party.

A source told Celebuzz: "They arrived separately 10 minutes apart from one another around 01:30.

"The two met up at the VIP section during Major Lazer's set and shared a friendly hug."

Photos of Jonathan's 'father-daughter' dance with his daughter + Full Gist of all that happened at the wedding RECEPTION!

One major activity that went down at the wedding reception yesterday was the beautiful father-daughter dance, it got everyone in the reception hall cheering out loud!

GEJ and his daughter kept beaming with smiles even as they danced - Mama Peace also wiped out a tear or two on her seat, how sweet!
Major artistes that performed at the event include D'banj, Psquare, Iyanya and Davido - the event flow was packaged by Purple Ice entertainment protege.

 
Oh by the way, Charles Novia, has given us the full 'gist' of all that happened at the wedding reception.
Narrating his experience at the wedding, the movie producer, began by revealing how top government officials and ministers struggled for seats in the reception hall.
Read his article and see more photos below:

“Let me just give a slice of it; all these big men you guys see in power and out of it are all hustlers like you and me! Captains of industries and Government officials were in a flux and fight to enter the hall which was barricaded by stern security men at the International Conference Centre.
The protocol is that once the President enters the hall; the doors are shut and no one gets in or out till the President leaves. So, there was a scramble to enter. There were rumpled and creased clothes on people after the scramble. A couple of ladies lost their headscarves and head ties and gave us shocking glimpses of their ‘Abolo’ heads!” he wrote

Moving on to the security at the wedding, Charles said “The President’s security detail at the venue was stern but professional. They didn’t give a hoot who you were. Orders are orders. Everyone who entered; those that mattered wanted to be seen by the President or First Lady and a small line of diffident favor-seekers or friends was formed but many could not pass through the security detail to just greet Mr. President.”

Good luck Jonathan and Mama Peace

Mocking politicians and antagonists of Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, he further wrote “Let me shock you guys a bit. The biggest critics of President Jonathan, the opposition parties or cliques, the rabble-rousers and all were mostly there at the wedding! I was shocked! Politicians! That’s how they deceive you all by crying wolf and abusing the President yet they run to him to prostrate at night or in private! Those of you who follow blindly these people…be careful!


I even saw Dele Momodu, who lambasts President Jonathan every week for the past four years on Thisday backpage on Saturday, taking pictures and going round shaking hands. He shook my hands too. Look, in politics there are no permanent friends or enemies: just permanent interests!”

Charles Novia
He rounded up on this note:
“I must hand it to GEJ; he shielded his family from public glare. I mean; how many of us know he has three biological children and three adopted with this new bride being an adopted child he took in about 15 years ago? Very touching.
The couple got gifts of over 60 brand new cars as presents from what a close source told me. ‘Bastardly rich’ Nigerians fell over themselves to give presents. There was a group of orange-scarved women who caused a stampede in the hall after the wedding rushing for gifts and stuff! Wetin? People nor get shame? The presents given to the guests were magnifique! Not anything ostentatious but just cool.
This Nigeria is great, sha! Odiegwu!”

Much ado about the customised i-phones shared at the presidential wedding!

http://distilleryimage8.ak.instagram.com/1fd295c4c24811e3a1020002c9dc1bfc_8.jpg


The photos above hit the blogosphere yesterday to a lot of backlash but the Malivelihood boss - who broke the news and announced that he customized the i-phones - has now deleted all his statements.
After ranting about how he got the contract to design the customized items for the wedding and thanking GEJ for giving him the contract, the Malivelihood boss is now saying something else.
He now claims that the customized i-phones were gifts from him to GEJ, adding that he distributed just "10" #yimu.
Many peeps have reacted by mocking the dude - he had probably bn contacted by SSS for exposing the heavy spending of GEJ so he's bn forced to retract his statement, they say!





Snapshot of what he wrote yesterday....now see snapshot of his tweet today!

View image on Twitter   
"I give many people free gift for wedding , ceremony, birthday all that time , Don't understand why this is a problem. Don't understand why giving out Free gift is a problem #Nigeria new" he tweeted.
So what do we believe now? 

"We your 'Parents are analogue people while you are digitial" - Goodluck Jonathan's advice to his newly wed daughter

President Goodluck Jonathan got everyone smiling while giving out his 'daddy' speech at his daughter's wedding on Saturday!

Speaking at the wedding reception at the International Conference Centre, Abuja, GEJ admonished the couple not to always run to their parents - them - for everything!
See his concise speech below:


 “ My advice is that, today is a very special day we are all smiling and dancing but also note that there will be periods when the relationship will not work smoothly. That is a part of the life of husband and wife.”
 “There is no couple that will not have some moments when their faces will not be too bright, but it depends on how you reach out and really find time to understand themselves. And we pray that you have a really happy married life and we will continue to pray for you as your parents.”
“Our duties as parents is to continue to pray for you, to encourage you and if there are some issues you feel we can solve, you can tell us. But don’t depend on your parents to solve your matrimonial problems. If you have disagreement with your husband…., don’t always run to parents or get advice of your mother or father, sometimes, they will not give you the best advice. Because your parents are analogue people while you are digital generation.”
 “So, we don’t belong to the same generation and so don’t expect us to give you the advice of the modern way of life. But we will encourage you to succeed,” he added.

Video: Drake wears disguise to ask strangers what they think of him


 
Some celebrities avoid social media because they don't want to read the nasty things people say about them. But rapper Drake really wanted to find out what people thought of him and decided the best way to find out was to go undercover and ask strangers on the streets.

In a hilarious sketch filmed for Jimmy Kimmel Live, Drake was described as a chicken head, a fake, childish and more, as he spoke with passers-by on the Hollywood Boulevard. It's hilarious. Watch..
