Rita Dominic haunted by nightmare

One needs to find out from Rita Dominic whether the recent alleged threat to her life was not the making of the same guy that rudely accosted her about a month ago, while she was attending a Nollywood function in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State capital.

Rita had narrated to an insider how in the mix of a crowd of celebrities , an unknown guy emerged from  nowhere like a militant, grabbing her hands and ordering her to follow him quietly without any option.

Dumbfounded and apprehensive, Rita was said to have followed her captor sheepishly, as he led her away from the crowd, before she suddenly realized what was happening to her, and muted, “Where are you taking me to?…I don’t know you. What are you trying to do with  me?”

But lo and behold, Rita was not a victim of abduction, rather it was an act of an overzealous fan who wanted her to pose for a shot with him. The knowledge of the intention of the stranger made her  heave a sigh of relief.

But then, one is sure that the Glo ambassador is haunted by the same action that caused her nightmare, while she was  in Port-Harcourt. Mark it , it could be that Rita Dominic is gunning for attention.

RMD returns!

Despite his hiatus from the movie industry due to a temporary relocation to Asaba, the Delta State capital, as Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, actor- turned-politician, Richard Mofe Damijo, we learnt, has refused to be relegated to the background as it concerns his first love, acting.

Sources revealed that the thorough-bred actor is gearing for a comeback and recently appeared in a movie alongside Desmond Elliot. That goes to explain the fact that talent cannot be suffocated with the want of material things of life as it must somehow find expression in some other form.

Vanessa Nzediegwu takes her career to Hollywood

Sexy looking Vanessa Nzediegwu  may  not have eloped with her man to Hollywood or California as the case may be.
Rather, the soft spoken actress-turned-visual artist has quietly returned to the classroom  in far away Los-Angeles, where she’s studying film  making at the Universal Studios, in Hollywood.

Vanessa, we learnt travelled shortly after her outing at the Southern Sun  hotel, Ikoyi, in November, where she held a scintillating group art exhibition that exposed the other side of her career, in terms of visual composition to her admirers.

In an e-mail sent to HVP, Vanessa denied ever eloping with any  man to the States. Instead, she replied, “ I didn’t elope with any  man, rather I’m studying film  making at the Universal Studio, in Hollywood.

According to the pretty actress, she will be home soon, to complete the shooting of a movie she couldn’t finish while she was in the country. Currently, she disclosed  working on a short film
that she will take to film  festivals.

Describing Hollywood as “cool and full of memories”, the young actress said, ‘I believe, Hollywood has got a lot of things to offer  me in terms of my career growth .”

Indeed, one hopes that pretty Vanessa, returns home armed with  new  knowledge and vigor to redirect the cause of Nollywood.
