LOS ANGELES Reuters.....2009


The low-rated shows "30 Rock" and "Mad Men" shared
the spotlight at the Emmy Awards for a second year
on Sunday, but most of their stars were snubbed as
the acting awards went to repeat winners
or surprise choices.

Tina Fey, the creator and star of NBC's "30 Rock,"
failed to defend her best comic actress title.
She lost to Australia's Toni Collette, who plays
a woman with multiple personalities in Showtime's
"United States of Tara."

Fey's co-star, Alec Baldwin, was the only one of
13 nominees from either "30 Rock" or "Mad Men"
to win an acting prize, in his case for playing
a bumbling network TV boss.

Still, "30 Rock" was named best comedy for a third
year, and "Mad Men" best drama for a second.
Both prizes were announced at the end of the
three-hour ceremony.

"Phew! That was a nail-biter," said Fey, accepting
the big prize for "30 Rock," which won just five
of the leading 22 Emmys for which the cult
favorite had been nominated.

"Mad Men," whose audience is about 2 million on
the niche cable channel AMC, won just three of
the 16 Emmys for which it had been nominated.
Last year, the period saga made history by
becoming the first series from a cable network
other than HBO to win the Emmy for best drama.

"I may be the only person in the room with complete
creative freedom. That's why the show is so good,
" said "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner,
who shared the Emmy with Kater Gordon
for best drama writing.

VIOLENCE IN CROSS RIVER LEAVES 30 DEAD INCLUDING VILLAGE RULER AND 4 POLICEMEN

30 people were allegedly killed while four police officers and the village head of Ntan Obu Ukpe in Eniong in Odukpani local government area of Cross River State were beheaded in a communal clash between the Ntan Obu and the Ikpanya in Ibiono local government area of Akwa Ibom State on Tuesday. According to a local newspaper, about 2,000 indigenes of Ntan Obu were forced to take refuge in nearby communities of Odukpani council as many houses including churches were destroyed during the crisis. The Chairman of Odukpani Local council, Stephen Asuquo, while confirming the incident, told journalists that the people of Ntan Obu were attacked by the Ikpanaya neighbouring community of Akwa Ibom State, last week. "The remote cause, I can say, is the struggle by people from the Ikpanya for the land that belongs to the Ntan Obu.Ikpanya is in Ibiono council of Akwa Ibom State while Ntan Obu is in Odukpani council in Cross River State," he said.

I REGRET VOTING JONATHAN -- DON JAZZY

That my one vote added to put the current government in power is one decision i regret with all my heart. --  Those were the words of Michael Elebeli Collins, popularly known as Don Jazzy in a recent interview with talk of naija correspondent Osaremen Ehi James over the groups current stance on  Pres. Gooduck Jonathan fuel subsidy removal.   You would recollect that at the time of the April elections Pres. Goodluck Jonathan   had received massive support from people in show business especially as it would seem, from the Mohits crew (trying to be more specific) through that popular interview session where D`banj assumed to be representing the entire youths of the federation had tried asking the current president questions that obviously he himself could not understand.

H&M Winter Lookbook

Sonbahar ve kış artık yavaş yavaş geliyor, yarın da İstanbul'da yağmur yağacakmış hatta. Bu sene bir ilke imza attım, ne yazdan ne önümüzdeki sonbahardan şikayet ettim, hatta daha önceden ilkbahar gelsin diye can attım. Bilmeyenler için ara mevsimleri hiç sevmem, özellikle de sonbahar ve yağmurdan nefret ederim. Her neyse yeni koleksiyonlar beni neşelendirmeye yetti :) Bu yazı tüm sonbahar sevmeyenler için gelsiiin :D Fall and winter are coming slowly, I heard that it will be rainy tomorrow in İstanbul. This year I made a difference and didn't complain about fall - for the ones who don't know I hate rain and fall from seasons. Maybe because of the new collections :) And I send this post to people who don't like fall all around the world :D       Neyse ki karaları bağlamıyoruz, yine rengarenk giyinmeye devam edebiliriz. Kıyafetlerin kesimleri hatları ortaya çıkarmayacak şekilde. Thank God, we can still wear our colourful clothes. But they are going to hide our lines/curv...
