Producer of IJE set to record another milestone with DVD sales

For Chineze Anyaene (pictured above left), the director and producer of the highest grossing Nollywood movie of all time at the cinema, IJE, it is time to record another milestone as the movie hits the DVD market from Monday, December 3, 2012.

IJE showed for several weeks at the cinema in year 2010 and made well over N70m on that platform and was only beaten by the Hollywood flick, Avengers (in 2012), it was not surprising when the much talked about movie out- sold highly rated Hollywood flicks, Avatar, Salt, Spiderman and others.

Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer has been told he can keep in shape at their London Colney training base during the MLS off-season.

Goal.com understands that there is a strong possibility that the informal situation could even extend into a second loan spell at the club where Henry enjoys legendary status.

Arsene Wenger wants to strengthen his squad with a new centre-forward in the window January and, as revealed by Goal.com last month, has made Atletico Madrid’s Adrian Lopez his top target.

Streaker on Rihanna's 777 Tour Plane! - Rihanna 777 Tour Day 5

There was some turbulence of a different kind onboard Rihanna’s 777 tour. Somewhere between Berlin and London Monday morning, an Australian shock jock streaked through the cabin of the Boeing 777 that had been ferrying the “Diamonds” singer, contest winners and journalists on a chaotic seven-day, seven-country promotional tour. The media members among the hundreds of passengers had already been fuming over their complete lack of access to the singer during the tour. Around 3:30 a.m., the crowd started chanting, "Save Our Jobs, Save Our Jobs," according to E! News. That’s when the streaker - an Australian radio show personality who had angered his peers earlier by playing the harmonica - ran down the aisle completely naked. A Fuse camera man was able to capture the moment for posterity.Crazy things we do to get attention!
