Justin Timberlake - A Star’s Down-To-Earth Trait

There is something about Justin Timberlake that I’d like to share with telenovela lovers. I know most of us are lovers of the entertainment world (b’cos that’s our niche). I'm a fan of Timberlake since NSYNC, I espcially love their song titled 'This I promise You' from the album 'No String Attached'.

I took special interest in him because of his mannerism and way of life in the real world (sorry, I'm not going to discuss his personal life here), which is somewhat different from what is expected of a successful pop musician like him.

I mean, he has been successful since the time of NSYNC but still remains his humble self.

Just to share the lastest two of his (I think genuine) characteristics. Before now, this guy said he had not used scent for a decade. Why? Because he realized he wanted to smell like himself and not something else.

News has it that it took a lot of persuasion to get him to agree to making a deal with Givenchy.

His signature scent ‘Play’, which has a fresh scent fragrance, was launched in Paris in June this year.

Want to hear the latest?

Recently, he revealed that he grooms his hair by himself.

This fact humbles me.

Hello? This is JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, an Award winning artiste!

Reasons? He prefers cutting his hair himself rather than spending hundreds of dollars on grooming and also, he does not want to indulge in unnecessarily beauty routine just to feel good about his appearance.

He hoped that revealing his down-to-earthiness will prove that he is more real than other celebrities.

Want to hear his parting comment? I quote: “I don't like divas and I don't want to be one. People have a perception that I might be that way."

This news has caused a lot of argument between my colleagues and I, dividing us into three opinion groups.

The first group (which I belonged to) agreed that he is real to have remained himself even after money and fame came. We feel this should be appreciated and emulated by other celebrities.

The second group said, What? He is only pretending (you know) trying to play the role model, and that he’ll soon get bored of it.

The third group said, Men? This guy’s problem is stinginess.

So, there you go Telenovela Lovers, what do you think?

Some of you probably know about Justin Timberlake more than these debaters (I'm not saying anything more).

Happy 232nd Independence Anniversary To America From Telenovela Love Garden!

What a way to open up the 7th month JULY (PERFECTION). Today marks the 232nd independence Anniversary of the United States of America. The bulk of the 25 million Nigerians in the Diaspora are located in God's own country, and I know as we celebrate this holiday with America, we are celebrating it with our kinsmen and women yonder.

I choose to celebrate this anniversary because, I am a netpreneur. America is the land of free enterprise. Despite the gridlock of poverty in Nigeria, the commercial internet, which America gave birth to, about 16 years ago, opened up the gate of financial freedom to me four years ago and I have never looked back since then.Today many gifted writers, intellectuals and journalists, still languish in lack because they are not yet opened up to the explosive power of the internet.

The internet is the truest expression of Freedom (either of speech or of choice). I am immensely grateful to God for the day I found the intellectual treasure which the internet represent to humanity. Nigeria is still in slumber on the web, blogging and search engine optimization is still 'greek' to corporate Nigeria. The problem here is not just about declaring 'power emergency' in the electricity sector, but we need to also declare 'knowledge emergency'. How can you be truly wealthy, when you wallow in, and celebrate digital ignorance, in this new millennium.
