Since she teetered into the spotlight near the beginning of last year, Huddah Monroe has continued to leave us marveling (some of you grudgingly) thanks to a body and face that looks like it was sculpted by angels.

Her ability to court controversy and look picture perfect while doing it has gained her a large number of followers on social media. The lass gave her fans something to drool on when she posted a photo of herself rocking a healthy-looking bikini body.

Top of the morning! Your daily morning dose of laughter has been served. Check out;

Trapped is a hilarious audience-pleasing fast-paced comedy. Its physical over-the-top makes our last show Dangerous Affairs seem like a prayer meeting by comparison.

The comedy is starring Kenya’s superstars directed by Derrick Amunga and Mbeki Mwalimu. The setting of Trapped is a medical hospital. A doctor (Nick Ndeda) is practicing the lecture he will deliver to an assembly of fellow gynaecologists in less than an hour. The speech’s success is vital to his career.

Interruptions abound. First it’s various other medical staff rehearsing for a performance (i.e. the cheeky Nigerian doctor played by Maina Olwenya; tough talking matron played by Veronica Waceke; a pregnant intern doctor played by Lulu Wilson and the new doctor played by Henry Gitau Ngogoyo). Then a long-ago ex (Wangari Gioche), who was once a nurse at the hospital, brings the news that she gave birth 16 years earlier to the doctor’s daughter (Janet Kirina) and the daughter is in the hospital in search of Dad! Yes, there is his harsh wife (Rosemary Waweru), and she knows nothing of the past liaison!

And in the spiraling chaos of deceit, false identity and manic cover-up that ensues, the mission is to avoid the daughter, pacify the ex, keep the chief specialist and hospital deputy director (Derrick Amunga) at bay and fend off various distractions, among them a patient from deep in the village excited by the goings-on (Johnson Chege) and an inquisitive police officer.

Masaku 7s came and went but the shenanigans that characterized the highly hyped rugby tournament are fresh in our minds. So, last weekend, down went Meru 7s.

Like every rugby tournament and the after party, it was nothing short of fun. The after party of epic proportions rocked Baite land over the weekend. A great end to a day of playing or spectating, the event completely sold out, with extensive queues trying to get in at the last minute.

Ratchetness was nowhere near Meru as Nameless and Avril rocked the party. Here’s how it went down;

Meru Sevens rugby will be an annual rugby tournament that will be held every July to showcase Meru talent, culture and attraction sites.

While most were either going home to sleep after a night of debauchery or waking up and getting ready to go to church, some Kenyans were being welcomed by the state as guests in it’s five star accommodation at Central police station. Their crime? Getting caught at a gay bar.

As the story goes, once upon a time, in a distant nearly past too far gone to recall, there was a club in the heart of the Nairobi CBD called Club Envy. Now, the management at envy are true capitalists who deign it fit to welcome homosexuals to their establishment as long as they keep buying drinks.

Smart move really because homosexuals in countries such as America are the ones who have money.

Anyway, when word leaked out to the government of the day, they sent their security apparatus to harass innocent homosexuals who were not even taking part in any buggery but rather enjoying their hard earned money.

By the time Ghafla got to the scene, it was too late as all the homosexuals had been rounded up and taken to Central Police Station. But we managed to talk to the watchman who informed Baba Ghafla that those arrest were patrons who were not being arrested over Mututho Laws but rather because of their sexual orientation.

Baba Ghafla then spoke to Joji Baro to find out whether this is a normal occurrence for homosexuals and we are shocked to learn that state harassment is all part and parcel of what it means to be gay in Kenya.
Joji Baro had this to say, “The arrests at Envy had nothing to do with Mututho law but just trying to suppress the visibility of gays and lesbians. So finally someone just realized gays and lesbians have money and they know where to spend it… Just a remainder of the little rights we enjoy -we have a right to spend our money where and whenever we want to.“
