LIB exclusive: Dr Sid's fiancee Simi Osomo disinvites friends who didn't attend her hen party from her wedding

according to Linda Ikeji, she said she knows  Simi will hate her for this...but darling, it's her  job...she  had to post this...*wink*. So here's what happened. Dr Sid's fiancee, Simi Osomo held a bachelorette party this past weekend in Las Vegas.  And some of you observed that there were no others at the party...well, I just found out that it's because all the people she invited to the party didn't show up.

Simi is furious at her friends for standing her up and have uninvited all of them from her wedding to Dr Sid. She sent out an email yesterday asking all the friends she invited to Vegas who didn't show up, not to bother attending her wedding.
"Yes, she invited quite a few close female pals but she wasn't paying for accommodation or flight and most of them didn't think it was worth it. It was a bachelorrette party, not a wedding and Vegas is an expensive place to visit if you didn't plan for it" a close source said
Now see a copy of the email she sent to her friends uninviting them from her wedding after the cut..

Men who earn less than their wives have better sex and happier marriages....

According to new research, husbands who earn less than their wives are more likely to have good sex lives and happier marriages.A poll showed that 56 per cent of men whose wages are lower than their spouses said they had ‘hot’ or ‘very good’ sex....

Relationships author Jean Hannah Edelstein said:
 ‘Everyone knows that stress is bad for your sex life.If both partners in a relationship are earning about the same amount of money, then it's a logical conclusion that stress will be reduced. It makes sense that better sex would follow.Equal earning power may also indicate that a relationship feels like a more equal partnership, in which each member of a couple feels like they are contributing and gaining.I wouldn't advocate that men rush out and quit their jobs to improve their sex lives but it’s another reason for them to join women in the campaign for gender pay equity.’
The study was carried out by Time Money magazine ..
So ladies, go out here and make more money than your man .....

According to TMZ, Dina Lohan was sentenced today on Long Island in her DWI case, but the judge delivered his harshest words to Dina after the fact ... saying she was lucky she didn't kill anyone.

Lohan pled guilty to DWI and speeding ... and was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service and had her license revoked for a year. Once she can drive, she'll have an interlock device installed on her car for another year.

But after Judge Engel handed down the sentence, he had rough words for Dina, saying, "The only person responsible for this ordeal is Miss Lohan. She is just lucky nobody was killed. She may not be as lucky next time"

Upon hearing that, Dina replied, "There will not be a next time."

That should be the Lohan family motto.

Rob Kardashian unfollows everyone on twitter except for his mum & one sister

Minus the fact that he doesn't seem to be at a good place in his life right now...with the weight issues and all...Rob is also not feeling everyone in his family at the moment. The reality star has deleted everyone he's following on twitter, except for two people, his mum and his youngest sister, Kylie. He's stopped following Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendell and even his pal and in-law, Scott Dissick.

Recall he missed his sister Kim's wedding to Kanye and there are reports that Khloe is mad at him for resuming his friendship with her ex, Lamar Odom. Guess he's trying to send a message to his family.

"I run two media companies. One in Lagos, the second in London. I don't do television in Nigeria again because we don't have a television industry and I don't want to do patronage media otherwise known as brown envelope media. That's why I have shifted that to London and me and my partners are working on films that can be seen by anybody anywhere in the world. Back in Nigeria, I do corporate projects. I have people on the ground and we choose what we work on. So I run my business as a professional. I run Change-A-Life as a founder because it has a board and staff that keep things going. I am glad that it has taken a life beyond me" she said.

I think the reason she gets away with this easily is because she's one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Imagine if it were a reality star, struggling singer, upcoming actress or video vixen dressing this way, people will be too quick to call her trash. Not impressed with this dress.

The singer wore this see through custom-made shear embellished halter dress by Adam Selman to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards yesterday. The dress is embellished with 216,000 Swarovski crystals and she rocked it with a matching sparkly turban. She wore a flesh colored thong to cover her herself up but had no bra on. She was honoured with the Fashion Icon Award. See more pics after the cut...

Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola makes $398million in 90 days

According to Forbes Africa, billionaire businessman Femi Otedola made $398million between March 3 to June 2. #Ojigbijigbijigbithings. Hehe. See their report below
Nigerian energy mogul Femi Otedola has become at least $398 million richer between March 3 and June 2 as shares of Forte Oil PLC, a Nigerian Stock Exchange-listed energy distributor, surged 167% in that period.
Forte Oil PLC is primarily engaged in the distribution of petroleum products such as diesel, aviation fuel and Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). The company has over 500 company-owned, dealer-assisted and dealer-developed gas stations spread across the country, oil storage depots in Lagos and Rivers states, a Power plant and a Joint User Hydrant Installation facility in Lagos. The company also sells its own range of automobile lubricants.
On March 3, the company’s stock was trading at N88.4 ($0.55), and at the close of trading today (Monday), its share price was N235.79 ($1.46). According to Akinbamidele Akintola, Vice President, Africa equity sales at Renaissance Capital, the recent unprecedented demand and surge in Forte Oil’s shares may not be unconnected to the company’s recent inclusion in the Morgan Stanley MS +0.13% Capital International (MSCI ) Frontier Market 100 Index. Listing in such indexes usually attracts interest from global investors who track these companies.

Otedola became the largest shareholder in Forte Oil (formerly called African Petroleum) in 2007 when he acquired a 28.7% stake in the company from the government-owned oil company, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) for $120 million. He subsequently appointed himself as chairman of the company. Otedola, 47, has gobbled up additional shares over the years and now owns more than 40% of the $1.5 billion (Market Capitalization) company. According to information available from registrar sources, he currently owns 436,809,537 shares valued at N103 billion ($635 million). He pocketed at least $11 million in dividends from profits made by his company in February as Forte Oil paid shareholders a dividend of N4 ($0.0023) per ordinary share from its 2013 profits. A representative for Femi Otedola could not be reached for comment at press time.

Miley Cyrus -- Cops Looking for a Guy in Skinny Jeans

According to TMZ, Cops now have a description of the guy who abandoned Miley Cyrus' stolen Maserati ... and TMZ has learned the perp has serious hipster tendencies.

According to a witness who spotted Miley's car and reported it to cops ... the Maserati was dropped off in Simi Valley Friday night by a white male in his early 20s, wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

The witness tells TMZ the guy then jumped into the passenger seat of another car and drove off.

The car sat there all weekend, our witness says, before cops picked it up Monday afternoon after getting calls from a few different neighbors.

We asked the witness if he wants a reward from Miley for helping find her car -- and he said no thanks ... he's not a Miley fan.

Seattle Seahawks Star Michael Bennett -- WHEN BOOZING GOES RIGHT

Seattle Seahawks superstar Michael Bennett was poppin' bottles left and right this weekend -- with 12 of his teammates -- but they weren't spendin' money ... they were raising it.

Bennett -- along with Percy Harvin, Russell Okung, Jordan Hill and more -- threw on some fancy clothes and hit up the Columbia Center in Seattle on Saturday for Michael's "Champs & Cocktails" event.

The gang raised more than $35k at the event ... signing autographs and hanging with fans. Bennett even took over server duties ... grabbing bottles of wine and pouring for some of the VIP guests who paid $300 per ticket.

Bennett’s charity event, Champs & Cocktails For A Cause, will benefit OCEAN — a program founded by Bennett dedicated to fighting childhood obesity.

A spokesperson for the event tells TMZ Sports, "Bennett was the perfect host, mingling with everyone in the crowd, and of course helping out with some of the service by pouring wine for donors -- and even taking over the DJ booth at one point!"
The rep added, "We're very proud of what Michael and OCEAN are doing."

Girrrrl ... the dollar store manager who got famous on the Internet for spraying Febreze is fired

Girrrrl ... the dollar store manager who got famous on the Internet for spraying Febreze in the face of an alleged shoplifter ... is now famously unemployed -- TMZ has learned the guy got fired.

The video is damn entertaining -- Gavyn Edlinger, the manager at Family Dollar in Saginaw, Mich. confronted a few alleged shoplifters (one of whom was pregnant) in the parking lot last week. It quickly turned into screaming, yelling, the Febreze spray and this classic line -- "Bitch, what I want you to do is do something. I will whoop yo' ass!"

Gavyn tells TMZ he was canned six days after the confrontation -- and it probably didn't help that it blew up on the web.

Edlinger called the incident an unfortunate scene and claims the mother of one of the girls in the video called the store to apologize. He says he tried to have the video taken down, but when the guy refused ... he decided to just own it.

Should look good on his resumé.

Yes I know the biological father of my twins' - Nike Oshinowo

                                                     

                                      
Ex-beauty queen Nike Oshinowo who welcomed a set of twin via surrogacy in December 2013 says she knows the father of her twins and that the timing of her children's arrival was all determined by God. The new mum, who spoke with Hello Nigeria recently, said the birth of her twins is the most beautiful thing that has happened to her after her illness, Endometriosis, left her infertile for years.

Nike, on why she decided to go the route of surrogacy:
"I was out of my marriage and I was lying in bed, talking to my God."Okay, so, here I am, is this what you want for me? Please tell me the next step. What am I supposed to do now? And I fell asleep. As I slept, I felt a tug on the bedding and I opened my eyes, there is nothing and so I look at the bottom of my bed to see a little child tugging at the bottom of my duvet. It was a little girl so I carried her, put her on my bed and she played while I slept. She would always come in my sleep and play and then I would put her on my bed, we would play and then we would sleep. The one day I thought 'This little girl I keep seeing in my dreams, maybe I can have a child. Maybe it is God's way of telling me its time. I take my iPad while lying in bed and I start surfing the net all the while thinking I have Endometriosis. I literally typed in Google search 'what is the best way to have a child if you have extreme Endometriosis? I hit search and it came out!" she said.

My issue with Ibinabo still stands' – Clarion Chukwura

Last week, we saw this pic of Clarion Chukwura with Ibinabo Fiberesima and Teco Benson and we assumed that all was well in Ibinabo/Clarion universe, but not so quick people. According to Clarion, her issues with the AGN president still stands. She explained how the pic came about and her surprise at seeing it on the internet.

"When I got the award, I came and met my team, the Royal Arts Academy, and we all hugged and took pictures. As I was going back to my seat, Ibinabo got up and hugged me and beckoned the photographers to take our picture. As I stepped away, Rita Dominic also got up and hugged me and also asked the press photographers to take our pictures.

“When we got to the airport, Teco Benson came to me and said he wanted to minister to me and he also beckoned to her and she came close. I told Teco that I didn’t have anything against Ibinabo. This is an AGN issue. We should be real about the issue. The following day, somebody called me and told me about the picture. I was surprised,” Clarion tells Punch
