Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson spotted in town
YOU have probably seen Top Gear,that auto show on BBC Entertainment (DSTV Channel 120), featuring a very funny presenter called Jeremy Clarkson. Well, we spotted Jeremy in Kampala earlier in the week.
More known and celebrated for his love of fast cars and critiquing new models of the latest cars around the globe, Jeremy spent a bigger part of last week hanging out at Quality Cuts Restaurant on Gabba Road. The renowned presenter had some of his personal staff, and spoke to fans of his show, saying he was just visiting as part of his leisure and that it had nothing to do with Top Gear. Jeremy, also a journalist and writer who specialises in motoring, took a couple of pictures with fans and signed autographs.
His fans were awed by his simplicity and down-to-earth personality, as he didn’t push anyone away, or have a heavy security detail like some international celebrities do when here.
Designer, Stella Atal pops tot
You are probably wondering why self-made artist and fashion designer Stella Atal has been out of the limelight. Well, we have found out she had taken time off to prepare for the arrival of her baby.
Our sources tell us she recently gave birth to a bouncing half-caste baby girl, and is now spending most of her time caring for and nurturing her new bundle of joy. In fact, the little thing is now her Facebook profile picture. This is her second child.
The older one, also a girl, is about five years old, from her longtime white boyfriend. Both children are half-caste.
Gudlyfe crew bash Chameleone in new song
In A bid to resurrect their once flourishing music career that was, to a larger extent, built on feuding with fellow artistes like Jose Chameleone and Bebe Cool, Gudlyfe boys Mowsey Radio and Weasel are at it again.
Following a recent song, Lwaki Tokula (why don’t you grow up?), in which they subtly throw barbs at Chameleone, the duo has released another one called Lwaki Tonjagala (why don’t you like me?) The song, which sounds so much like a wash-out of Nyambura, also has tongue-in-cheek lines telling off Chameleone.
Sarah Zawedde outs BMW
Sarah Zawedde has been keeping a low profile over the past few months. She recently made headlines when she appeared at the Miss Uganda closed-door unveiling looking gorgeous in revealing attire.
She has taken the looks thing beyond herself. We recently spotted her in industrial area cruising a black BMW.
We are told she acquired it after selling off the Ipsum she had driven for some good years. Passersby said the BMW was more befitting for her status as a celebrity. We also hear she is finalising two collabos, one with Ronnie Banton, another with DJ Michael. Suddenly, things seem to be looking up for the Kambeere Naawe star.
Mugenga ventures into web business
After he got married in a luxurious ceremony attended by Kampala’s wellheeled, Daniel Mugenga, the eldest son of property mogul Tom Mugenga, went to take charge of the family business in Mombasa.
Recently, he made news taking on Kenyan supermarkets giants, Tuskys, in a multi-million law suit over the name, which he claimed rightfully belonged to him. We now hear he has ventured into the web.
Daniel recently started up a website – www.richafrican.com, which sells ready business plans entreprenuers can take to the bank. Apparently, a plan costs about sh27,000. Mugenga also carries out consultations.
