The Rock

Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is named 2013's highest grossing actor at the worldwide box office by Forbes. He wins the top spot with $1.3 billion after going neck and neck with

"Iron Man" actor Robert Downey Jr. who settles at the runner-up place with $1.2 billion.

The list doesn't reflect the paycheck these actors get, but rather how much money the movies they starred in earned in total. Downey Jr. falls short of taking the No. 1 position because he only has one movie release "Iron Man 3" which is a huge success this summer.

The Rock has more advantages because the pro wrestler-turned-actor has two box office hits "G.I. Joe Retaliation" and "Fast and Furious 6" this year. He additionally appeared in at least two other smaller films "Snitch" and "Pain and Gain".

His "Fast and Furious" co-stars Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker sit on the fourth and sixth places. In between them, "Gravity" actress Sandra Bullock rounds up the top 5. 

Another female star, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" actress Jennifer Lawrence, closes the top 10 list. 

1. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - $1.3 billion
2. Robert Downey Jr. - $1.2 billion
3. Steve Carell - $964 million
4. Vin Diesel - $887 million
5. Sandra Bullock - $862 million
6. Paul Walker - $789 million
7. Billy Crystal - $743 million
8. John Goodman - $743 million
9. Chris Hemsworth - $701 million
10. Jennifer Lawrence - $700 million

Its Official: Mercy Johnson Is Highest Paid Actress In Nigeria

Mercy Johnson Okojie

When Charles Novia picked Mercy Johnson Okojie as his best actress for 2013, he actually saw something.

To set the record straight, Mercy Johson Okojie is the highest paid actress in Nollywood right now. Besides being one of the most sought after actresses, the dark skinned actress has placed herself on a pedestal where we gathered she now charges up to N2million fee and over for a movie.

One thing for sure is that she isn’t planning to give up her position anytime soon as she tweeted, ‘Na God do am and only he can take it back. Not yet time gurls stay back’.

Who could these girls be? Rita, Omotola, Genny? Just my thought.

Ex BBA Star, Karen Igho Battling Cancer

Ex BBA Star, Karen Igho is battling cancer, but not too worry she says all is well as she will undergo Chemotherapy soon.

She was bold enough to let the whole world know that she’s battling the disease on twitter. Some minutes later, she deleted the tweet. This has kept many in a state of confusion as to if truly she’s battling cancer or not.

To set the record straight, back in October 2013, Karen disclosed that she had a lumpectomy because lumps were found in her breasts.

We on MSB say it’s well with Karen

OC Ukeje, Lynxxx, Skuki Battle For Chidinma's Heart

Chidinma

Miss Kedike

Admirers, admirers, oh admirers. Miss Keidke seems to be centre of attraction for many male celebrity like musicians especially. Before now, it was one of the Skuki singing duo who said he would give an arm to marry ‘Emi Ni Baller’ singer, Chidinma Ekile; next to profess love for the very pretty petite and singer was rapper, Lynxxx, who said he was madly in love with her.

Now, it is the turn of AMBO made Nollywood actor, OC Ukeje, who has come out to tell all lovers of Chidinma that they have him to contend for her heart.

Chidinma you have a lot around you now, so decide.

Sincerely out of all these dudes, who do you think will be better for Chidinma?

No Koko Concert For 2013

D'Banj

It seems tradition will be broken this year. You might just be wandering what tradition. Anyway this is to official announced that Koko Concert won’t be staged this year.

So sad I must say. The CEO of DB Records D’banj who is also the brain behind the concert said he decided to put the show on hold this year in honour of Late Nelson ‘Madiba’ Mandela.

For record sake Madiba died this December and each year the concert is announced two months or more before its staged, why is D’Banj using Late Madiba as an excuse for not bringing the show on this year?

Last year the show flopped and I guess D’Banj just realised that the concert can’t attain all the desired success without those he started with.

Though all hopes aren’t lost as he has promised to make it up to his fans by hosting three ‘Koko Parties’ this yuletide season.

Just as the likes of Harrysong is making millions with caller tunes for his tribute to Nelson Mandela, others are busy using the death of Madiba as an excuse not to do what they ought to do.

Elsewhere in United States of America, RadarOnline.com, described the performance by Mariah Carey as a disgrace to the United States, saying she should “have thought twice before agreeing to accept the pay check from the bank.”

After the singer posted a picture of herself on her Instagram page with the title, “Backstage in Nigeria,” the online site reported thus:

“Carey isn’t the first performer who has taken a paycheck to perform in Nigeria.
