Abuja Lover delivers baby girl for 9ice

It’s a baby girl for singer 9ice and his Abuja-based partner Bukky!
Although the pair would prefer to keep it hush hush, we can reliably tell you that they are taking their relationship a step further with the arrival, early last week, of their first baby together.
Sources close to 9ice tell us the singer -who’s separated from his wife Toni Payne – has been a regular visitor to Abuja, since Bukky – a fair-complexioned older woman – took in last year.
The relationship has never been public, even though those close to the singer are well aware they’re seriously dating.
We cannot tell for now, if the pair is planning to get married; especially as 9ice and Payne are still legally married.
Multiple sources tell us this lady is the reason the singer has been a regular visitor to Abuja; and that his ex Toni Payne is – unhappily- aware of the relationship. ‘In fact almost all the ladies close to him know of her. She herself even went out of her way to contact them‘, our source offers.
Sources say Bukky’s baby, a girl, was delivered on Monday March 21. The baby is 9ice’s second. His first son named Zion was delivered on Thursday December 4, 2008, at Presbytarian Hospital, Southern California, United States of America.
I can tell you for sure that 9ice has gotten the girl pregnant, and she has put to bed. Toni knows. But even her is keeping quiet but it’ll be a source of embarrassment for her‘, one of 9ice’s close friends tells us. He does not want to be named.
I can’t tell if he’ll marry her or not. But she’s very close to him and I believe they’re serious‘. He disclosed.
9ice’s manager Dehinde Fajana through a telephone conversation, Fajana claimed that he is ignorant of the situation and questioned the existence of his boss’ Abuja partner.
‘Is there any partner there? Does 9ice have any partner in Abuja? I’m sorry, I don’t know’ Fajana responded.
9ice did not immediately respond to our enquiries.

Box Office Preview: 'Lion' will try to remain king

LOS ANGELES (AP) — If the much-anticipated debut of Sony's "Moneyball" hits one out of the park this weekend, it will have to be over the enduring roar of Disney's "The Lion King."
The 3-D re-release of the 1994 animated classic will try to remain at the top of the food chain in the low $20 million range, following last weekend's surprise $30 million opening. Huge mid-week grosses portend a minimal percentage drop and the 3-D revenue boost should keep this "Lion" king of the box office jungle, with a total of around $60 million by Sunday night.
However, Sony's "Moneyball," starring Brad Pitt in the true story of Oakland A's manager Billy Beane, has been generating notable buzz and is likely to score at least $20 million at domestic theaters.
Making a similar weekend splash of close to $20 million is Warner Bros.' heartwarming "Dolphin Tale" in 3-D, starring Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. The PG-rated film will benefit from renewed interest in post-summer movie-going by the family audience, in light of last week's proud performance by "The Lion King."
Likely to nab a gross in the $15 million-plus range is Lionsgate's "Abduction," featuring "Twilight" star and teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner. Directed by John Singleton, this PG-13 thriller tells the tale of a young man looking to uncover the truth about his past.
The fifth spot, at about $12 million, should go to Open Road's "Killer Elite," starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro. The R-rated action drama is based on a true story in which a special ops agent is pitted against his former mentor.

Jane Lynch not sure she wants to host Emmys again

NEW YORK (AP) — Just days after hosting her first Emmy Awards, actress Jane Lynch says she's not sure she'd do it again.
Lynch said in an interview Wednesday that if she had to decide now, her answer would be no. But she says she had a great time and hadn't felt "that creative and alive in a long time."
Her Emmy performance Sunday received mixed reviews.


　　The actress is promoting her new memoir, "Happy Accidents," and "Glee." Lynch plays glee-club-hating cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on the hit Fox series, which premiered its third season Tuesday.
Lynch says she's looking forward to spending time with her family now that the Emmys are over. She married Lara Embry last year and is stepmother to Embry's 9-year-old daughter, Haden.

Paris Hilton finishes probation in Vegas drug case

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Paris Hilton is wrapping up a year of probation stemming from a 2010 drug arrest on the Las Vegas Strip.
Officials say Hilton's attorneys appeared in court Tuesday on the 30-year-old celebrity socialite's behalf to show Hilton had completed her obligations to the court. She had to pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service in addition to probation.
Hilton pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of drug possession and obstructing an officer after police pulled over her and her then-boyfriend on Aug. 26, 2010.
Police say they detected a "vapor trail" of marijuana smoke wafting from the couple's vehicle.
Hilton was arrested when a bag containing 0.8 of a gram of cocaine fell from her purse as she reached for lip balm in front of an officer
