HUMBLE SMITH DENIES DATING TIWA SAVAGE

   “Those pictures which went viral online are mere pictures taken on the set of a recent video shoot for my new song, ‘Attracta’, featuring Tiwa Savage.

    “I’m not in any form of romantic relationship with her. I think this rumour came up because she has not taken such sensational or romantic picture with any other artiste apart from Wizkid; so I think that’s why the pictures went viral.

    You know bloggers always look for sensational stories to drive traffic on their blogs; that’s the reason they were suspicious and went ahead to write stories that I may be dating Tiwa Savage, but there’s nothing of such.”

WIZKIDS BABY MAMA

Mother of Wizkid’s second child, Binta Diamond has revealed that she would turn down a chance to give birth to another child for the singer.

One of her followers asked,”What if Wizkid wants a second baby with you?” and she responded with an emoji that suggests that she would turn down such request.

Another follower of hers asked “When last herself and her child met with Wizkid” and she was direct with her response which was “18 months ago.”

DAKORE/RMD

The actress who played the role of RMD sexy wife in new TV series, Castle said her husband gave her the green light before accepting the role.

“Since the beginning of my career, I have been selective of the kind of people I work with, and the kind of scripts I accept. It’s part of having the spirit of excellence. My passionate kiss with RMD comes with the job. I try as much as I can to steer away from such romantic roles, but I can’t keep steering and find myself totally out.

“However, my husband and I have an understanding. At the end of the day, I’m his wife; he is the one I go home to. He is the one I love. He is the father of my kids. RMD and I also have a connection; we have done such a movie before. We both understand duty call.”

GEORGE CLOONEY

George Clooney's one tough SOB -- he's continuing to walk on his own just days after being released from the hospital due to a nasty crash ... although he's clearly hurting.

GC slowly made his way off his private jet Sunday after it touched down in Rome, where he's reportedly set to resume filming for his new Hulu series "Catch-22." He's got a hell of a limp going, but the actor's fighting through the pain to get to where he's got to be.

HULK HOGAN

WWE issued a statement Sunday, saying that after a 3-year suspension ... Hulk was being reinstated in their HOF. They go on to say that this second chance follows multiple apologies and volunteer work from Hulk ... this in the wake of his angry rant using the n-word, which was caught on his sex tape and leaked in 2015.
