| The late music maestro - Simon 'Chopper' Chimbetu |
NO music family in Zimbabwe has ever had the honour of being successfully equated to the famous Jacksons than the Chimbetu siblings. Many pundits continue to draw more similarities from the two
families’ music histories despite the fact that they live in different worlds.
While the Jacksons became famous with their pop music, that became an instant phenomenon the world over in the early 1970s, the Chimbetus are also famous for their rich tradition of producing good artistes and good music. Just like the Jacksons, — Jermaine, Jackie (real name Sigmund) Tito (real name Toriano), Marlon and Michael — the Chimbetus, through the late gifted composer, instrumentalist and singer Simon, have a music dynasty that spans decades.

Bev wows fans at dancing queens’ clash
Popular pole dancer Beverley Sibanda, aka Bev, wowed hundreds of fans with her raunchy routines at the City Sports Bar in Harare on Saturday night where she clashed with Bulawayo-based outfit Girls La Musica.
The vivacious pole dancer performed a raunchy and erotic lap dance on a male fan she called onto the stage during her weekend show. Wearing a revealing red outfit and fishnet stockings, the dancer aggressively pushed the man back before straddling him and thrusting her body over the bemused man.
And of course she did the bottle act but this time without the Castle Lager bottle. Delta Beverages, Zimbabwe’s beer manufacturer, has strongly objected to her use of their bottle in a controversial act.
Bev has a history of highly-sexualised and provocative performances but took it to a whole new level during the “2 in 1 Clash of the Dancing Queens” at the City Sport Bar.

Beverly opens up on life, love

| Beverley Sibanda |
THE mere mention of her name conjures images of sensual, seductive and erotic dances — an affront of female dignity. In a world where dancing is assumed a vertical expression of horizontal desires, many men who flock to Beverly Sibanda’s shows are left drooling. What a pleasure manager!
At her shows, some sloshed fans are even heard shouting: “I won’t go home, home should follow me to where Bev will be.” Such is her magical touch.
But when you associate with her, you will be surprised to note that she has two contrasting characters. Explosive and mad on stage! Calm, cool and composed at home. Call it the idyll of separating work from leisure!

Bev said initially women threw brickbats at her but attitudes towards her have changed. Previously, women were jealous of me, thinking that I was a home-wrecker but that has since changed because they now appreciate that I am an artiste.

It is rare to find a public figure or a celebrity frequently looked upon as an inspiration to many people, humbling themselves and seeking financial help from ordinary people.
This is the case with up-and-coming Afro-traditional musician Edith Katiji, aka Edith weUtonga. She appealed to her fans and friends on the social platform Facebook on Sunday for financial assistance to enable her to attend the Blankets and Wine Festival in Kenya, on September 2.
The festival is a premier Afro-based monthly picnic-style music extravaganza in East Africa designed to showcase Afro-fusion musical genres. It started in 2008. Music superstar Oliver Mtukudzi and Chiwoniso Maraire have performed there before.
“The trip will cost us about $880 per individual and about $8 000 for the whole eight-piece band and honestly, we do not have that kind money. So after realising that I had over 5 000 friends on Facebook I just took a gamble, gathered my guts and thought it was better I tried to appeal than regret later,” Katiji said.

Even though almost no romantic story in the history of ever begins with “so I stormed the stage and attacked him,” that doesn’t mean Justin Bieber‘s legions of fans aren’t willing to give it a whirl — and if you think it’s just American girls who are that brazen, think again.
During a Monday appearance in the Land Down Under, the Biebs taped a performance for the live finale of ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ — and during the interview that followed, a crafty 14-year-old named Amilia Radevska managed to evade security and rush the stage.

Back off!!! Kim K - Myla Chris Humphries's ex
Kim Kardashian just got a WARNING from a woman with whom she has something in common -- Kris Humphries ... and the warning is ... BACK OFF!
Myla Sinanaj just tweeted to Kim, "Why don't u enjoy ur Miami trip and stop sending private investigators to my house-Stop dragging me into ur drama." Myla followed that up with, "I don't have to explain Or apologize for who I chose to be friends with. Subpoena or not!"
Myla is referring to a subpoena from Kim's camp ordering her to sit for a deposition at the end of the month. The depo involves Kim's divorce from Kris -- something Myla may know a thing or 2 about. Myla's ex-lawyer, Joe Tacopina, already accepted service on Myla's behalf, but it seems Kim's camp may be worried Myla may now say he didn't have authority to do that.
Myla also just tweeted, "Subpoena me twice for the same thing! Hilarious." Well, Myla, you can never be too careful ... and that doesn't just apply to getting pregnant. TMZ

Zambian R&B star and former Big Brother Stargame housemate Mampi says she could have easily avoided a brawl between Zimbabwean urban groover Roki and his counterpart Maneta Mazanhi had she stayed in the house for long.
Mampi, who jetted into Harare on Wednesday to record a song with Roki, said she was closer to both Roki and Maneta than anybody else in the house. In an exclusive interview last week, the Zambian star said the fight could have been avoided if she “was still in the house when the argument started because I am close to both Roki and Maneta”.
She added: “Our relationship goes back to how Zambians relate to Zimbabweans and if asked who was closer to me between Roki and Maneta I would say both.” Nicknamed “Thunder Thighs” during her stay in the house because of her revealing shorts and dances, the 25-year-old singer said Roki and
Maneta’s disqualification broke her heart.

American Idol cant afford Marriah Carey - Nick Canon

If "American Idol" wants Mariah Carey to be one of their new judges, they are going to have to break the bank ... this according to Mr. Carey himself, Nick Cannon.
Mariah is one of the big names that has surfaced since Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced they were coming back to "Idol" next season.
Cannon told our photog yesterday that it's going to take a HUGE payday to get Mimi to fill Lopez's vacant seat. He told us, "I don't know if they can afford Mariah Carey. That's a lot of money. If they gave JLo $20 million, they might have to double that!"
Money seems to be an ongoing theme when it comes to divas and singing shows. As TMZ previously reported, Britney Spears based her "X Factor" salary on what JLo made on "Idol" (which we hear is less than the $20 mil Cannon seems to think). TMZ

As if Usher didn’t have enough to deal with these days, he’s on his way back to court again. This time, he’s not facing off with his ex, Tameka Foster. Ursh is being sued by a DJ alleging that the ‘Scream’ singer stole his track.
TMZ reports that Aubrey Davis, who uses the stage name DJ Mixx, filed a federal lawsuit against Usher in Florida. Davis claimed that his own song, ‘Let’s Go,’ was the basis of ‘Hey Daddy,’ one of Usher’s tracks on ‘Raymond v. Raymond.’ Davis said that someone he showed his song to somehow passed it along to Usher, who then added lyrics to it and used it on his own record.

Andy Brown’s widow Nadine has composed a song for her husband’s many children titled Wakanonoka. The song appears to suggest to the late musician’s children, some of whom she only got to know at his funeral, they came a little too late for the glory.
Nadine performed at Jazz 105 as a curtain raiser for Sulumani Chimbetu. “There are many people that were not with Andy all along during various phases of his life,” said Nadine. “There were times that he was happy and times that he was sad. There were times that he was down, but they all were not there for him.

The £120,000-a-week football star's mother who earns £6 an hour

| Mario Balotelli and biological Mom |
He earns £120,000 a week, likes to drink vintage champagne straight from the bottle and once famously put hundreds of pounds on to a church collection plate. But Mario Balotelli's generosity doesn't appear to extend to his mother, who works as a cleaner in an office only a few miles from her son's £3million mansion.
While the Manchester City footballer glides around in his gleaming £120,000 Bentley Continental GT, Rose Barwuah has a more humble mode of transport – the number 11 bus. Five times a week, she catches the bus to start her job as a cleaner at a car lease firm on the outskirts of Cheadle, near Manchester, earning little more than the minimum wage of £6.08 an hour.

I don’t think I will make it. I pray I do, but for some reason, I know I won’t make it‘, a sad Goldie said, after the fight she had with Prezzo over the missing ring, which he claims was his grandmother’s.
Embittered, Goldie refused Prezzo’s demand for a hug as she walked out of the house in tears. With Goldie's exit from the BBA gameshow, it means Nigeria is now out of the game. This will be the first time in three years the great African nation will not produce a BBA winner.
