HOTTY
Three things you like about yourself and why.I love my tattoos. I think they define me as an individual.
I love that I’m self-motivated.
I love that I’m always willing to help people whenever they need it.
Your OMG moment?My OMG moment… ha ha ha… there are so many to choose from but I think my biggest was when I saw my photo on a building to promote a Carnival band. I was soooo excited! I was literally, like, OMG look it’s meeeeee!

It’s nighttime, I hear something out on my porch and decide to go out there. I step on a 3-inch by 3-inch spot with the ball of my foot and I feel what I think is a small rag or sponge.I really love hummingbirds. Why was it coming to my door? If I had seen it...
i just stepped ona hummingbird
I know people often say this, but I literally have no friends. I have no hobbies and no interests. It seems that ever since meeting and marrying my wife, I have no life. Everything is now about the kids. To top it off, I am socially awkward, so I have no idea how to make new friends. The friends I used to have are still into drinking and doing the whole party thing, I'm not. I want to do things with new friends, but have no idea how to.
i have nofriends
I play with them, toy with their hearts, make them want me and never let them get it. I’ve been doing it since I was 17, when I realised how much attention I can get from it. I feel guilty sometimes. If they seem like genuinely nice people I’ll stop. Other than that, I think most deserve it.
i lead men on,purely forentertainment
I’m an alcoholic. It’s ruining me...I know many people would say it’s ruining their life, but I feel that it’s ruining me. I feel like I’m running out of room in which to manoeuvre, like I’m backed into a corner. Due to my ex-wife’s own substance abuse problems, I’m a single parent of three. I get no help, and often feel like I’ve hit a wall. Depression is starting to bog me down. I’m not asking for a solution, but if anyone can be bothered to offer up some positivity it would be met with much gratitude.
Becausei have to tell someone
Everything I do, I have to go all out. Driving down a back road? Better go 140 mph! Let’s see how late you can turn the steering wheel before hitting that tree... I’ve had problems with depression for a while and I feel like these behaviours might stem from a disregard for my own well-being. I’m afraid to tell my therapist, because I don’t feel suicidal but I think this makes me seem like I am. I just don’t know how long this can go on before I really hurt myself.
Living lifeon the edge?
I lost a stupid bet so I bowed down and kissed my girlfriend's (now ex-girlfriend’s) shoes. Two of her friends (females) were there. It was very embarrassing!
Bow down!!!
i’m into ‘Bad’ girlsJust as the title says. It’s totally true.When I see a girl that’s really slutty it turns me on. I like the skimpy clothes and seeing the girl screw around.If I had a girlfriend that cheated and screwed around a lot and was super slutty it would only turn me on insanely. Thinking about my girlfriend cheating and getting laid by tons of other, bigger guys just turns me on. But she'd have to tell me everything and be honest with me. If she did it right in front of me and humiliated me I’d enjoy it.

OMG Magazine | Thursday 18 April, 2013 • PAGE 5
STEP 1 - BE COnfidEnTBe yourself and accept who you are. Don’t pretend to like things you don’t like, and don’t say things you don’t believe. Being open and honest will allow the other person to feel more relaxed around you.
STEP 2 - ASK quESTiOnSQuestion them about their background, what they do, what they like, and what they dislike. This will give you a better idea as to who the person is on the inside.
STEP 3 - LiSTEnGive them your undivided attention. Doing this will show the person that you’re interested and they will likely be more open.
Tip – Find common interests and expand your conversation around those.STEP 4 - SEEK rECiPrOCATiOnShare your feelings with each other. This will show the person that you’re open to discuss personal thoughts, and hopefully inspire them to reciprocate.
STEP 5 - BE TruSTwOrThYBe a person they can confide in without worrying about whether you’ll judge them or spill their secrets. Nothing pushes a person away like a lack of trust.
Tip – Keep shared information between yourselves.STEP 6 - BE PATiEnTTake your time getting to know someone. The investment you make now will pay off with a significantly more satisfying relationship.
STEP 1 - STrAP On STiLETTOSWear high heels. When 50,000 men were polled about what fashions added the most sex appeal to a woman, sky-high heels topped the list, followed by slit skirts, stockings, and mini-skirts.
Tip – Good news: the next sexiest thing men like is jeans and a t-shirt.STEP 2 - CrOSS YOur LEGSIf you spy a guy you like, cross and uncross your legs; 70 per cent of men find it sexy. Especially if you’re wearing a skirt – half of men think a woman’s thigh is the sexiest part of her leg.
STEP 3 - dAB On LAVEndEr PErfuMEUse lavender perfume. Studies found that the scent of lavender gets a guy going. The aroma of pumpkin pie turns him on, too, so you could also try patting a little pumpkin pie spice behind your ears before a big date.
STEP 4 - STriVE fOr SYMMETrYResearch on physical attraction shows that people are attracted to symmetry more than size, so wear clothes that balance your body.
Tip – Work those childbearing hips! Men are most attracted to women with a waist to hip ratio of .7 — in other
words, an hourglass figure — because it subconsciously signals fertility.STEP 5 - wEAr TEddiES TO BEdWear a teddy to bed. When it comes to naughty nightwear, men rate teddies as tops, followed by stockings and stilettos.
STEP 6 - wEAr YOur hAir LOnGThe overwhelming majority of men prefer long hair to short on women. And be stingy with the hairspray; getting his hand caught in your helmet head is not sexy.
Tip – If you’re a natural brunette, stick with it; three out of four men polled said they’d rather wake up with a brunette than a blonde.STEP 7 - BuY SOME ThOnGSConsider buying some thongs; men prefer them over bikini panties, two to one.
STEP 8 - TAKE uP AErOBiCSTelling a guy you’re into aerobics adds instant sex appeal. It will keep your heart healthy, and being physically fit is always sexy.
Want to know how to turn a guy on? It’s pretty easy, actually….
how toBe sexy
Getting to know someone takes time, but there are things youcan do to get the communication flowing.

OMG Magazine | Thursday 18 April, 2013 • PAGE 7
STEP 1 - LAY YOur PrOBLEMS On ThE TABLEDon’t expect your relationship to improve if you aren’t telling your partner what bothers you. Honestly express your needs and insecurities in a non-threatening, non-accusatory way so your partner doesn’t get defensive.
Tip – Use “I” language instead of “you” language. Say “I feel upset” instead of “you make me feel upset.”STEP 2 - LiSTEn TO YOur SPOuSETune in to your partner when they talk instead of thinking about your next retort. If you can understand what motivates their behaviour, you may be able to see them in a new, empathetic light.
STEP 3 - BE EMOTiOnALLY AVAiLABLEBe emotionally available to your partner, even when you don’t have a specific problem to work out. Give physical affection freely and empathise when they talk about problems in other areas of their life.
STEP 4 - BOnd OVEr fun TiMEPlan activities and outings to have fun time with your significant other, which can help rekindle the romance and remind you why you fell in love. If your relationship is in serious trouble, think about taking a second honeymoon.
Tip – Flirt with your partner when they don’t expect it to reinforce their self-esteem and stoke the flame of your romance.STEP 5 - SEEK OuT COunSELLinGSeek advice from professionals if your relationship suffers a major blow, such as from cheating.
STEP 6 - CrEATE nEw PATTErnSCommit to new ways of relating to your partner to put an end to bad patterns. If you agreed to spend less time golfing or to cut back on nagging, stick to it.
STEP 7 - fOrGiVEForgive your partner for their mistakes. Forgiveness is the best possible way to get over an affair and to preserve lasting bliss.

Just because you have no money doesn’t mean you can’t show someone a great time.

A full-scale, musical theatre production of The King and I is coming to three major stages across Trinidad: the National Academy of the Performing Arts in Port of Spain, Naparima Bowl in San Fernando and Queen’s Hall, St. Anns at the end of April 2013. This Rodgers and Hammerstein musical classic has been performed all over the world as well as on the ‘big screen’ in movie adaptations since it premiered on March 29, 1951, at Broadway’s St. James Theatre. The production is being done by up-and-coming production company First Instinct Productions.
There is a significant ‘buzz’ of anticipation both on social media channels and in the local music and theatre scene about this 2013 production, largely due to the company bringing the production to life as well as what some have said is a brilliantly selected cast. Fresh from their success with The Sound of Music in 2012, First Instinct producer, Trevon Jugmohan has teamed up with director Raymond Choo Kong and Executive Producer John Smith for this all-local production.
The cast includes lead actors Conrad Parris as the King and Tova Miller as Anna Leonowens. Supporting cast includes Patti Ann Ali and Germaine Wilson sharing the role of the King’s chief wife, Lady Thiang. Other cast members include Chris Smith as Kralahome, Rais Clarke-Mendes as Tup Tim, Charles Reid and Christian Roberts as Lun Tha, Elijah Wilson as Prince Chulalongkorn and finally, Jonathon Blaize and Joshua Elcock sharing the role of Louis.
All the actors have singing roles and some will also sweep across the stage dancing original choreography by Jerome Robbins, further enhanced by the work of Abeo Jackson as well as noted
choreographer and tutor, Dr. Sat Balkaransingh. Patrons attending the show can also look forward to a production of music comprising familiar song favourites from the production including “Getting to Know You”, “Whistle a Happy Tune” and “Shall We Dance?”. The production will be backed by a full orchestra including steelpans, percussion and voices.
Under the supervision of Smith who is also the Music Supervisor, the musical team is made up of two musical directors. The first is Gregory Wong Fo Sue, an accomplished pianist/keyboardist who has played for many, many musicals - including local productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Mermaid, Wizard of Oz, the Sound of Music and Les Miserables. The second is Lorraine Granderson, choir mistress and music teacher at Bishop Anstey High School. Under her charge, the 70-year-old Bishop Anstey High School choir has achieved a considerable number of Music Festival wins and has been on several foreign tours. This July, the choir has plans to tour South Africa. She also conducts the Lydian Singers.
This major theatre tour launches at the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA) in Port of Spain from Thursday 25th to 28th April as follows: 25th @ 10am (for schools), 26th @ 10am (for schools) & 7:30pm (general public), 27th @ 7:30pm and 28th @ 5pm. Tickets are $225.00. However specials available for the King and I are as follows: Senior Citizens: $100.00 for all shows excluding the Gala Night, Group Package: When buying three or more tickets together adults pay $175.00 and children (under 16) pay $75.00 and are available at the NAPA box office from April 15th from 12 noon to 6pm daily or by calling 625-4224 or 627-1104.

Joel Levi Feveck aka Zan feels blessed to be doing what he loves and is following his passion. He has been part of the local music scene for just over ten years and says he has had some amazing experiences. He says he is poised to make a significant musical impact on the Trinidad and Tobago musical landscape. Zan was one of the people found not guilty of the criminal charges laid against Machel Montano and others arising out of the fracas outside Zen nightclub in Port of Spain several years ago. He says he adores Machel and his family and is very grateful for the time he spent with them learning and growing as an artiste. He has now moved on to pursue his solo career and is excited to see where it takes him. We sat down with Zan in our studio for a chat.
How has your musical ride been so far?Amazing. I can’t say it was only good or only bad. I have travelled all over the world, eating different foods and meeting different people, working with so many different artistes, different promoters, radio announcers. Everywhere you go people have their different take on soca music and I was able to see the effect that soca music has on different people all over the world and it was amazing.
How was the Carnival season for you?This year was not so good for me. So many things happened not the way I planned, but I am not the type of person to be angry about things like that. I just pick myself up and keep working.
So what is the next plan for Zan?It is the same plan for Zan the songwriter, singer, local entrepreneur. Wake up every day, work harder, make things happen. Soca music is now a year round business so the party don’t stop. Once you have a good soca song and you put on a nice clean shirt and go out there, the world is ready to hear you.
So the work never stops?No. Lately I’ve been writing some new music for Crop Over, because that is just round the corner. I started making my own demos. As you know I work with Millbeatz, so when I go to him he will be clearer on how I want to sound, so it would be more of me in the music I create.
Where do you find your happiness?I love music. That’s my business, my passion, my joy. I love being around music. I like football; I play a lot of football too. I like spending time with my family. I have a real big family, like in the hundreds, a real Caribbean-style family. Everything I do is surrounded by my energy and how I create my music, so you don’t have to really chat with me to know me. Just listen to my music and you will get to know me. A radio announcer in London told me that. He said he feels like he knows me from just listening to my music and I said, “well, you can’t get closer to me than that”.
What is Zan’s biggest challenge?My biggest challenge was accepting not who I am, but what I am because I grew up in real humble conditions. We were real talkative and real energetic and for me to emerge out of that and become an entertainer… When I went back it took me a while to come to terms with the fact that I was no longer able to simply sit back and listen or be part of a conversation. When I walked in the room the attention was now on me. I was the conversation. It took me a while to come to terms with that.
What is your approach to creating music?I try not to make one song every Carnival. Most artistes will concentrate on one song real hard. It is a compromise, because you can do that and end up with a monster hit, but did you make a lasting piece of work
on an amazing ride
OMG Magazine | Thursday 18 April, 2013 • PAGE 21
or did you just make some revenue? I concentrate on what will make me happy in the end, producing something I will always be proud of, something that will last.
What is the future like through Zan’s eyes?The future is wide open for me now. As you know I am no longer under any contractual arrangement with the band Xtatik, so I am a free agent. That is why I am in black (ha, ha, ha). I am now in full control of where I take my music and my career. So it is exciting times and it can be intimidating also. Because before when you were part of the HD Family, you were part of the best management team in the business. They could make a call and make things happen but when you are flying solo, it will not be as easy to make things happen.
So it is all Zan now?Yes boy – small name, big purpose.
What is Zan’s OMG moment?I had this same conversation with the late Allyson Hennessy. My OMG has to be this one time – I had this partner in school who was really popular and he came on the basketball court and he says “Fevek! Boy ah have some girls from this school coming to check meh, but it have this extra girl, I want yuh to cover that for meh, so I could get to talk to her friend”. So I said alright, no problem. In my head I expecting a normal girl, but this girl was mind blowing amazing and I was having this conversation with her, but I ran out of words to say. She was in her school uniform and I was in mine and I turned to her and said, “Sooo, what school yuh going to?” She pointed to her school monogram on her shirt pocket. I was so embarrassed. I was like OMG! I could never forget that.

dernelle mascall24, MOruGA, fOOTBALLEr
This week team OMG was delighted to meet with Dernelle who is one of only two Trinidad and Tobago women playing professional football internationally. She began playing at Cowen Hamilton Secondary School at Moruga Road, Fifth Company. Dernelle’s excellent footballing skills were always evident, so after high school she earned herself a scholarship to the University of West Florida where she made a big impact. After four years of playing with them the University of West Florida had this to say about her, “Dernelle leaves West Florida as the program’s all-time goals and points leader. In three years with the Argonauts she has tallied 56 goals, 34 assists and 146 points. Her 34 assists are the second best all-time in UWF history. A highly decorated player during her time at West Florida, she has been named a two-time GSC First Team selection including the 2007 GSC Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She is also a two-time NSCAA First Team All-South Region and two-time Daktronics All-American.”
Dernelle has also been one of the more outstanding players in the Trinidad and Tobago National Women’s Football team. At present she plays with Grindavik FC in Iceland and will be leaving soon for their summer league matches which are from May to September. Dernelle says women’s football is not as lucrative as the men’s game but the international exposure can lead to more contracts with other teams. Her plans are really to play among the best players and for and against the best teams in the world, wherever that takes her.
She says there are many female players in Trinidad and Tobago who can make it in the international game and she feels very lucky to be one of only two that have made it so far. She feels that the major challenge is being able to fit in comfortably with new teammates. Newcomers must overcome whatever will hold them back from bringing their best to the team. She says after fitting in you must then add your unique skills to enhance what the team is trying to achieve. That is what is required. She says the greatest challenge to surviving in her chosen field is perseverance, being able to stand strong and keep going even when things are not going well. “It may sound clichéd but it is really all about not losing sight of your goals and sticking to it, no matter what and getting comfortable with picking yourself up no matter how many times you fall. The only thing that builds your character is how well you bounce back from your failures. Success is a long journey and there is no easy way to reach that destination.”
Dernelle says she is a typical country girl, who is very family-oriented. She loves being at home, hanging out and enjoys cookouts with her family. She stays away from people who indulge in lots of drama and people who create lies and stories that lead to unnecessary stress. Most people would be shocked to know that Dernelle is very talkative. She says when she is comfortable with someone she talks all the time – you may even need to shut her up. Her dream job after her playing days are over is that of a PE teacher. She says it was always a dream of hers and since she likes being around children and she loves sports, it would be the perfect job.
Dernelle says her OMG moment will take place in the near future. It is going to be the day the Trinidad and Tobago National Women’s Football team qualifies for the FIFA Women’s World Cup scheduled for Canada in 2015.

Debutante director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s Fukrey is a story of four friends – Hunny (Pulkit Samrat), Choocha (Varun Sharma), Lali (Manjot Singh) and Zafar (Ali Fazal) – who want to make it big in life but end up getting trapped in a web of dreams.The trailer gains momentum and gives us a fair idea about the concept of the movie as Hunny notices this quirky recurring pattern – whenever his friend Choocha sees a dream, they end up winning a lottery. So these fellows who have time hanging heavily on their hands, think of approaching an investor who will be ready to loosen the purse strings and believe in their plan – now that surely is great way to double the money, but what
follows instead is these posse of friends ending up in a major mess.
Richa Chadda enters the frame; she’s the brash, foul-mouthed lady don (Bholi Punjaban) who’s the financer of the stupid plan, but the scary li’l hooligan that she is, she warns these guys in her own rough style that if they blow her money up, she’s obviously going to do something deadly with them. Produced by the makers of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Don and Dil Chahta Hai - Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani – the film’s trailer was launched at Jai Hind College’s canteen in Churchgate, Mumbai, by its cast and
crew. This film talks about male bonding and friendship, much like Farhan’s previous ventures. And when asked about it, the producer-singer-actor was quick to reply, “What is wrong with male bonding films anyway, after all you guys never ask people why they keep making love stories or comedies, so what’s wrong in this.”
Point taken, Farhan. Fukrey means ‘nobodies’, a slang used in North India. And the movie is about people (read nobodies) who want to make something out of their lives.

The countdown for Sanjay Dutt began on March 21 when the Supreme Court sentenced the actor to five years imprisonment. The actor was given four weeks time to finish pending assignments and surrender to the Mumbai police on April 18, as punishment for his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. Now news comes in that the Munnabhai star has requested the Supreme Court to grant him six months more before he has to begin serving the remainder of his five-year sentence, which has three-and-a-half years left. With remission, this term could be reduced to thirteen months. The case will now be heard tomorrow.
The 53-year-old actor is currently in the midst of shooting his projects – Policegiri, Zanjeer, P.K.,Unglee – and considering there’s a lot more to finish, Dutt has asked the apex court for more time. After claiming more than once that he wanted no respite from the law and is ready to serve the sentence, we wonder what made Sanjay change his mind again, file the review petition on Mahesh Bhatt’s insistence and ask for more time. But isn’t six months too much to ask for? Will Sanju baba get temporary relief, BollywoodLifers? Watch this space for more updates.

This is a video of a 90-year old grandma wearing Oculus Rift virtual reality goggles and taking a tour of Tuscany. And let me tell you -- she is LOVING IT. When I’m old I want VR goggles fused to my eyeballs so I can live out the remainder of my life in virtual paradise instead of the D-grade nursing home my ungrateful children are sure to stick me in. They’re not even born yet and I can already tell they’re gonna be letdowns. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and all that.

It wasn’t a miseducation that led Lauryn Hill to evade her taxes for three years in a row back in 2005 -- it was a threat on her family, she says in new legal documents.The “Doo Wop” singer and Fugees member filed papers on Monday, April 15, stating that the reason why she failed to file tax returns in 2005, 2006, and 2007 was that “she withdrew from society at large due to what she perceived as manipulation and very real threats to herself and her family.”

KatY PerrY sUed; entangledin hairy $2 million lawsuit
Katy Perry doesn’t give good oral ... agreements according to a lawsuit from a British hair care company that wants to cut ties with the pop singer because it claims her popularity ain’t what it used to be.
According to the suit ... Perry had a $4.5 million written contract to promote “ghd” (stands for “good hair day”) products for two years starting in 2011. Her agent claims Katy’s owed an additional $2 mil based on an oral agreement to extend her contract.But in the docs ... the company behind “ghd”, Jemella Group, insists there was never an oral agreement --
and they decided not to renew Perry’s deal because market research shows Europeans just aren’t that into her anymore.
Jemella says Perry’s agent has been threatening to sue for the $2 mil ... so it struck first, asking the court to block team Perry from filing a lawsuit.Katy’s rep tells TMZ, “Jemella’s attempt to embarrass Ms. Perry by including defamatory statements about her in a public filing is shameful.” The rep says they plan to sue over the money Katy’s owed if Jemella doesn’t pay up.
Katy tells us, “They’re backing out of the deal because of an ownership change, and just throwing shade to hide their bad faith.”

Motorists were surprised to see a child driving along the road in Lapeer, Michigan, early Saturday morning. According to Sgt. Andy Engster of the local sheriff’s office, motorists boxed in the child and his car and called police. They found a 6-year-old who had taken the family car.
The boy had taken the keys off the counter at home and told the responding officer that
he had never driven before and nobody had taught him how.
“He said he’d never even sat on his dad’s lap to steer the car or anything,” said Engster.
When police asked the boy why he took the car, he told them he was going to get Chinese food. He had hit a
“no left turn” sign on Park and Pine streets near his home and, seeing the damage to the car, decided he needed to head to the dealer to get it repaired.The unnamed boy’s father was called to retrieve him. The parents had been asleep, and were unaware that the child had left the house. No one was injured.

The war of words between Chris Brown and Drake is far from over.Two weeks ago Chris Brown was bashing his arch nemesis Drake during his media tour to promote his new video “Fine China” and upcoming album “X.”Now Drake is returning the favor and he is not sparing nothing, not even Rihanna. Speaking with Elliott Wilson on his “Keep It Thoro” Internet radio show yesterday, Drake said Chris Brown insecurities is at the center of their beef.
This is what drizzy said:“Don’t ask me sh– about that man when I come up there and leave that man alone. Stop preying on his insecurities.”“His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I’m more popping than him and that at one point in life the woman that he loves fell into my lap.”“I did what a real n—a would do and treated her with respect.”
“All them things combined create an individual that comes up to your radio station and is just gonna do dumb sh–. It shouldn’t be about tearing that man down. It shouldn’t be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down.”“We have an issue and it’s either gonna drag out or maybe in ten years we’ll laugh about it over drinks, just let us solve that sh–.” “I don’t wanna hear that man rap, nobody wants to hear me rap against him. I really do this sh–.”Both Drake and Chris Brown are facing legal troubles over a club brawl last year in New York City where several individuals were injured including NBA star Tony Parker.
Parker filed a $20 million lawsuit against the owners of W.I.P nightclub for his injuries. However, the nightclub owners says Drake and Chris Brown are responsible for all compensation since they instigate the massive brawl.

struggle Braided rappercoolio arrested for Punching his Baby mamaStruggle haircut rocking occasional reality star Coolio needs to get his life together. The “Fantastic Voyage” rapper allegedly punched his baby mother in the face earlier this month. But that’s only a small portion of the tomfoolery.
TMZ reports:Coolio should know better than to bring another woman home to the house he shares with his girlfriend ... and he should also know better than to allegedly punch her in the face.TMZ has learned the rap legend -- aka Artis Ivey Jr. -- was popped on April Fools’ Day after he allegedly pushed Anabella Chatman to the ground and punched her in the
face. And to add insult to injury ... according to the police report, Coolio then hightailed it out of there with their toddler son and the other woman.
Actually ... he didn’t get out clean. Anabella says Coolio struck her with his car as he beat his hasty retreat -- in fact, cops say she had tire marks on her leg. Pretty compelling evidence.Coolio tried convincing cops HE was the victim and that she scratched him in a jealous rage, but they weren’t buyin’ what he was sellin’ ... so he was taken to the pokey.Calls to Coolio were not returned.
