Veteran Ghanaian actor George Williams, says the Ghanaian movie industry is rather retrogressing contrary to the notion that it is growing. Mr. Williams’ view, which is shared by many other veteran actors and actresses, was echoed in an interview on TV3. Mr. Williams AND RAFIU FISHBONE The man, affectionately referred to as Mr. Addison following his role in the popular 90s series, Ultimate Paradise, is particularly irked by what he calls extreme emphasis on ‘juju’, witchcraft or superstition which has become the major theme for most locally produced films in recent years. “I see it to be quite honest as debauchery. That is what it is. The fact of it is that they like to make juju films and that sort of thing. The fact is that we are retrogressing. We are going back to the stage where they had movies and not talkies. The movies came; there was no dialogue; it was that time of Charlie Chaplain and that is where this thing is going into now because we have a whole lot of juju films ...

Lead poisoning is a type of metal poisoning and a medical condition in humans and other vertebrates caused by increased levels of the heavy metal lead in the body. Lead interferes with a variety of body processes and is toxic to many organs and tissues including the heart, bones, intestines, kidneys, and reproductive and nervous systems. It interferes with the development of the nervous system and is therefore particularly toxic to children, causing potentially permanent learning and behavior disorders. Symptoms include abdominal pain, confusion, headache, anemia, irritability, and in severe cases seizures, coma, and death. Lead poisoning can cause a variety of symptoms and signs which vary depending on the individual and the duration of lead exposure. Symptoms are nonspecific and may be subtle, and someone with elevated lead levels may have no symptoms. Symptoms usually develop over weeks to months as lead builds up in the body during a chronic exposure, but acute symptoms from b...

It’s no secret that Hip Hop star Jay Z is a big fan of Michael Jackson! He’s spoken about his admiration for Michael on many occasions and has dressed up his child as Michael for fancy dress parties. He’s married to pop superstar Beyonce, who is also a massive fan of the King of Pop and in 2006 presented Michael with a World Music Award. This weekend Jay Z perplexed his fans and the music world alike by joining popular social network Instagram, only to delete his account within 24 hours. The only picture he posted in that time was a tribute to Michael Jackson! He uploaded a picture of him and Michael from backstage at the Hot 97 Summer Jam 2001 music concert and wished the King a happy birthday, as he would have turned 57 this weekend. No-one knows why, and will probably never know why the tribute and account was so brief, but in that short time he gathered over 100,000 followers and it was nice to share the MJ love with him!

On Sunday night, Swift was there to present West with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. Typical Taylor, in that Swift had nice things to say, including that West's "College Dropout" album was the first she purchased on iTunes when she was 12. And she called the rapper her friend. Then West took to the stage and thanked Swift, and things quickly went left. He spoke of the aftermath of interrupting Swift lo those many years ago. He bit the hand that was feeding him by saying, "You know how ma...
