Popstar Katy Perry has revealed she is not paying attention to what people say about her, confessing she
is the “captain” of her career.
The 29-year-old singer, who is very much loved-up in her relationship
with John Mayer, has also ditched Google alerts to avoid seeing what
the public are saying about her.
"I am the captain of my career. But I am also Katheryn Elizabeth
Hudson, which is my real name," she told Joy magazine. "My image is just
something superficial. I also try not to pay attention to what other
people think of me.
Even though the 'Fireworks' hitmaker is notorious for her colourful and bold outfits, Kate Perry will always dress according to how she is feeling.
"I just want to make people smile and show myself in a funny light," she added. "Sometimes I enjoyed playing a blue-haired troll. Sometimes my mood was more romantic. I still go with whatever I'm feeling
KATE PERRY “Even the Candy Queen from the Teenage Dream days is still in me. However, I wouldn't advise anyone to dye their own hair! It was a huge mission going from pink back to black. I had to get professionals involved, or else my hair would have fallen out by now!...Kenyan daily digest
MILEY CYRUS shocked the world by admitting openly that she uses drugs so as to perfect her performances on stage she was quoted saying''It is sex, drugs and pop music''
Miley Cyrus, 21, who has grabbed headlines in the past year for her admitted
drug use, sexually suggestive dancing and wearing as little as boots in a
music video, said she was surprised by the scrutiny her new persona has
attracted.
“I went from people just thinking I was, like, a baby to people
thinking I’m this, like, sex freak that really just pops molly and does
lines all day,”Miley Cyrus told the New York Times in an interview, referring to the
drugs MDMA and cocaine, respectively.
“It’s like, ‘Has anyone ever heard of rock ‘n’ roll?’” the Wrecking Ball
singer countered. “There’s a sex scene in pretty much every single
movie, and they go, ‘Well, that’s a character.’ Well, that’s a
character. I don’t really dress as a teddy bear and, like, twerk on
Robin Thicke, you know?”Miley Cyrus, who rose to prominence as a teen star of
the Disney musical TV series Hannah Montana, has become a bad
girl of pop music since her performance at the MTV Video Music Awards in
September when she “twerked” (a sexually suggestive dance) during a
performance of Thicke’s hit Blurred Lines. “I don’t have a
bunch of celeb friends, because I feel like some of them are a little
scared of the association,” Cyrus said of her new persona. “This is
terrible. I was backstage with (the rising pop star) Ariana Grande. I’m
like, ‘Walk out with me right now and get this picture, and this will be
the best thing that happens to you, because just you associating with
me makes you a little less sweet.’” Miley Cyrus, whose newest music video Adore You
shows her/swrithing between bed sheets in her underwear, sucking her
thumb and rubbing her body, said she feels more free to be herself now
that she is no longer under a Disney contract.
“When I was no longer employed by anyone, that’s when I was like,
‘O.K., I’m going to do my own thing.’ But I waited until I felt like I
had respectfully finished out what I was supposed to do, you know?” she
said.
Miley Cyrus signed with label RCA this year after releasing her first three albums on Disney’s Hollywood Record
Miley Cyrus, the daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, also fired
back at pop star Joe Jonas, formerly of the Jonas Brothers, who said
Cyrus and pop singer Demi Lovato introduced him to marijuana.
“If you want to smoke weed, you’re going to smoke weed,”Miley Cyrus said.
“There’s nothing that two little girls are going to get you to do that
you don’t want to do.”

But
in a world where the number of likes, comments and re-tweets matter,
whatever comes to mind and seems cool often goes to the virtual world —
sometimes without a reflective pause or second thought before hitting
the “send”, “post” or “enter” key.
It is only after a
Facebook post or tweet is released into the cyberspace vortex that the
benefit of hindsight may reveal how what you thought was a clever quip,
genius comment or rib-tickling joke is actually in the realm of
adjectives like stupid, stale, ridiculous, racist, outrageous, or
tasteless.
And while many have got away with such
misadventures, with nothing more than a little embarrassment, others
have not been as lucky. Take Justine Sacco as an example.
Until last week, she was the communications director at American Internet company InterActive Corp.
But
as she boarded a plane to South Africa last Saturday, she tweeted this:
“Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”
Ms Sacco had less than 200 followers on Twitter, but the message was re-tweeted so many times that thousands across the world read it and reacted with insults and sarcastic jokes.
Ms Sacco had less than 200 followers on Twitter, but the message was re-tweeted so many times that thousands across the world read it and reacted with insults and sarcastic jokes.
Soon she was
making news all over the world. Her desperate action of deleting the
Twitter account was like locking the stable after the horse had bolted.
It was a PR disaster for a PR practitioner that eventually led to her
sacking.
In 2013, Kenya too has witnessed similar
embarrassing goofs. It gets even worse when it involves an
organisation’s official account or a well-known individual.
Deleting
the tweet is never enough as people will have re-tweeted or taken
screen shots. And claiming one’s account was hacked increasingly sounds
like a lame excuse.
KIMAIYO'S GOOF
A
famous one was during the four-day Westgate terror attack in September
when Inspector- General of Police David Kimaiyo tweeted: “Taken control
of all the floors. We’re not here to feed the attackers with pastries
but to finish and punish them. IG”.
Although the tweet
was later deleted it is still available on the verified Kenya Police
account. The siege was to last four days and the fate of the terrorists
is still not clear. “We had our heads in our hands when we saw the
Kimaiyo tweet,” an official in the Jubilee administration told British
newspaper The Guardian. “What was he thinking?”
And
after lawyers completed submissions during the presidential election
petition at the Supreme Court on March 29 challenging the victory of
Jubilee candidate Uhuru Kenyatta, the K24 television station was forced
to apologise after a tweet from its account implied that the judgment
would go the president’s way.
“Supreme Court ends last
hearing on a Good Friday. Finally tomorrow in their judgment they will
uphold the elections – April 9th is holiday,” read the tweet. Later, the
station’s executives claimed the Twitter account had been hacked.
NTV
was also left with egg on its face in March after the traditional Latin
Habemus Papam (“We have a Pope”) announcement was made to indicate the
cardinals had agreed on a new head of the Catholic Church. “BREAKING
NEWS: Habemus Papam elected the new Catholic #Pope,” the station
tweeted.
The tweet was later taken down, and it was
clarified that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) had been
elected, but it caused much mirth.
And in September,
Citizen TV reporter Willis Raburu found himself in trouble when a tweet
from his personal account purportedly revealed the identity of an ICC
witness, which is an offence. The journalist, who later claimed his
account had been hacked, attracted much criticism.
Meanwhile,
controversial blogger Robert Alai flew into a Twitter storm in May when
he gave his views on complaints of insecurity from residents of
Nairobi’s Kileleshwa estate.
“I am down on my knees
praying that people continue to be raped and robbed in Kileleshwa so
they will wake up to the insecurity,” tweeted the man who has more than
100,000 Twitter followers. The criticism that followed forced him to
delete the tweet. It sounded extreme even by his outspoken standards.
NATIONAL GRIEF
Not
to be left behind in a supposed moment of national grief, nominated
Senator Naisula Lesuuda tweeted in July: “RIP Joe Kadenge #Legend”.
The
only problem was that it was not the legendary footballer Joe Kadenge
who had died, but his son Francis Kadenge — also a football star.
And
after the death of Fast and Furious star Paul Walker this month, Huddah
Monroe, who is often described as a socialite, exposed herself to
comments on her ignorance when she tweeted a condolence message “RIP
Paul Walker! Real baller! No fake life, no poser, this is so sad!”
But it was sadder that her tweet was accompanied by the picture of American rapper Paul Wall.
Then
there was the “RIP Matiba” tweet this month from a user who apparently
confused South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela’s clan name
“Madiba” with one that sounded like Kenya’s multi-partyism hero Kenneth
Matiba, who is still alive.
Perhaps in 2014 it is
important to heed the cautionary tweet in the wake of the Ms Sacco saga:
sticks and stones may break bones, but words on Twitter can hurt you.

Gaga also addressed her often-eccentric choices in wardrobe.
"Fashion is that thing that saved me from being sad," she said.

"I want you to feel happy and enjoy the theatre of my life the way that I do. No matter what happens with my music and wherever I go - that heart of that glamorous girl in New York will never be gone.

The
leader of North Korea reportedly urged the country’s military to boost
itself and for soldiers to be ready for combat at any time, according to
state media
KYODO/REUTERS
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, right, appears here in 2012 with his
uncle Jang Song Thaek at a military parade marking the birthday of Kim's
late father, Kim Jong Il. The younger Kim had Jang executed this month.
Could the drums of war be far off?
North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un, urged the country to bolster its military strength this week, as a war could begin "without prior notice," the nation's state media agency said Wednesday
The 30-year-old leader on Christmas Eve visited a command center for the Korean People's Army called the Command of Large Combined Unit 526, giving instructions for soldiers to be ready for combat at any time, the Korean Central News Agency reported.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Leader publicly ordered the execution
of his "traitor" uncle, Jang Song-Thaek, by firing squad. The country
condemned Song-Thaek as "despicable human scum" and "worse than a dog."

For sometime now been watching this war build up.
First Huddah Monroe and Vera Sidika were once good friends whatever connected them couldn't be
any further from the truth but that's in the past. Years later friends have
turned into foes.
The two socialites have been attacking one another on social media ,washing their dirty linen in public and tearing each others thong The whole of last week it was subliminal war and was
started by Huddah Monroe,she didn't mention Vera sidika name but her tweets had all the
pointers:
@HUDDahMONROE: Niggas and bitches are all ballers on
Instagram but their families live in the slums though!
@HUDDAHMONROE: U know though about that Elephant sized
bitch though LMFAO!

even own a house in their own country ,but they do in other countries?
@HUDDAHMONROE: Some bitches always competing with
Huddah ,first off their bodies bigger than an Elephant.You can't ever be lead
in the race. I'm Thee BOSS!"
Maybe Vera was busy to notice this or maybe she opted
to ignore. However things took a major turn and Vera Sidika came out fighting and as we
get to learn,this is the tweet from Huddah that pushed Vera to the limits.
@HUDDAHMONROE: Niggas and bitches are all ballers
on Instagram but their families live in the slums though!
She didn't take it lightly for Huddah to insult and
include her family in their war so she went berserk.
"@vee_beiby: Fake bosslady wannabes your time is up
@vee_beiby: Jealousy; Once frndz then ur life gets
better n u even invite ur pal 2 hse warming.She doesn't show up. N forever
starts hating on You!"

friend.
@vee_beiby: Boney flat chest refugee. Grow some boobs
before insults.I need to confirm if it's female or male cz I've seen bigger
breasts on a MAN!"
Huddah was not going to sit back and watch herself get trodden on so she fired back:
@HUDDAHMONROE: No surgery can fix Ugly!
@HUDDAHMONROE: Ghetto - SQ -Mansion :-) I'm a proud
hustler. Hizo zingine tuwachie posers! A fake life is all they can afford!
@HUDDAHMONROE: 2009 and 2013.There's a big difference!
Bitch always bringing my past to my present.Hit us with a new one!
By the way if you are wondering about the house,Vee
recently purchased in NIgeria Anyway the
war did not stop ,the other venue for thong tearing was instagram
Vee exposed Huddah as living in a 4*6 servants quarter
in Kilimani and in that video she uploaded you can hear Vee and friends
laughing out how the house was too small it could only fit a bed. Concerning her family Vera Sidika uploaded a photo of her mum at the airport doing
business trips as a counter attack on huddah about her family living in the slums
