Celeb Wednesday

Celebrity Wednesday with Tosyn Bucknor on Top Morning is the day of the week when listeners get the opportunity to make someone- anyone- a celebrity by simply calling in on the show or sending a text and naming an unpopular person who deserves to be a celebrity for that day. That way, everyone who has done something significant actually gets the recognition they deserve. Besides, a popular celebrity also comes in later on the show, and the listeners get the opportunity to question them and get to know them better. These are some of the things that make celebrity Wednesday different from any other day of the week.
But before all of these, there was the traffic and weather updates to help keep abreast of the happenings in our ‘Area’. The update from Mangoro, Berger, Akute, Alakuko, Oshodi, Ketu, Ikeja, Gbagada, Ogba, and Lekki showed that traffic wasn’t quite heavy in those areas. The update from Ikorodu, Ijebu-Ode, Baracks, Ijokoro, Palm grove, Agiliti, Marina, Ota, and Abule Egba revealed that navigating around these areas wasn’t quite easy this morning. In most places, the weather was quite chilly this morning.
The Yarn-Free Zone for today was a Rod Stewart, Bon Jon Jovi and Bryant Adams affair. The first set of celebrities for today was the 4 contestants from MTN’s Project Fame. They are the 4 not-so-lucky contestants, who based on their poor performance at the gala night, are on probation presently. They are: Tari, Mike, Dave and Jennifer. Besides displaying their talents by singing, they individually pleaded for peoples’ vote to keep them in the competition as only 3 of them will be allowed to get back in the competition eventually.
Aramide also came in with Top 9 Moments, bringing news about President Yar Adua who said that the issue between the Federal govt and Lagos State has everything to do with adhering to the constitution, which must not be violated. The British govt has also told civil servants to go forth and tweet. Interesting huh? An Australian woman was reported to have been rescued after spending a week being trapped between her toilet and bathroom door. Finally, Michel Jackson’s fans have launched a campaigned calling for the superstar to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
As though the bundles of talent from Project Fame were not enough, Lara George also came in to talk about her latest album and a bit about herself. There were lots of compliments about her hit track- ‘Run with you’. Some people questioned her decision to make it in collaboration with Lord of Ajasa while some others wanted to know if she thought she got a fair deal from the West African idols show in which she participated. Another set of people feel that she and other members of the now dissolved ‘Kush’ owe their fans lots of apologies for dissolving the group at an early stage. After answering these questions, she read the weather report and said her bye-word to her fans.
