Michael Clarke Duncan lacked sufficient Oxygen during heart attack...

Its been reported by TMZ that the dramatic minutes Michael Clarke Duncan was without oxygen during his heart attack damaged his organs so badly ... he could never recover -- TMZ has learned.

Sources involved in Duncan's treatment told TMZ ... on July 13 the actor went without oxygen for more than 5 minutes before Omarosa was able to re-start his heart with CPR.  We're told 5 minutes is the outer limit before permanent damage is likely.

TMZ's sources say Duncan's decline was slow but steady.  First it was a kidney problem, then the pancreas, then extremely high blood pressure, and so on, until his body just shut down.

It was especially hard on Michael's fiancee, Omarosa ... who was told time and time again by doctors that things were looking up and he would be released soon.  But every time Omarosa got assurance, something else went wrong.

Omarosa is now at Forest Lawn, making arrangements for the funeral ... and TMZ's  sources were told she is inconsolable.

Erotic Maheeda becomes 'Born Again' and asks radio not to play her songs again.

Maheeda in her pose

Maheeda

Maheeda, the sexy sensational artiste recently shocked her fans when she wrote an official letter to all the radio/TV house to stop playing her previous song, Oko Yanpia. The reason is because, she is now born again.The Oko Yanpia crooner, who lives on the Island and drives the latest Prado, we gathered, has accepted Christ and has re-dedicated her life to God.

She said that her Oko Yanpia’s song does not portray her as a woman of faith and has said that henceforth, her fans should view her in that direction of a new creature in Christ.

She said, “I want use this medium to inform all my fans out there and those who love  me that I am now a changed person and no longer the old person I used to be. God has finally taken over my life and I will continue to sing his praise”

Well, that’s good news. Let’s pray for her that she fares well and for God to be her strength because it takes the grace of God to stay saved. There are celebrities who have said they’d gotten saved and later on went wrong.

OFFICIAL: P-Square and May D Part Ways! (No Square Records Deal Ever Existed!)

So, it turns out that May D and P-Square have decided to part ways. The news first broke out on socialnetworking site, Twitter, over the weekend but we didn’t take it seriously… till a few hours ago. Here’s the official statement from Square Records below.

Official Statement:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

“I, JUDE ‘ENGEES’ OKOYE, of Square Records Limited and Northside Entertainment Limited hereby announces to the general public that Mr. Akinmayokun Awodumila, otherwise known as MAY D is no longer an artiste under the aforementioned outfits due to irreconcilable differences.
We at Northside and Square records wish him all the best in his career and life.
Yours Faithfully
Signed: Jude ‘Engees’ Okoye, CEO, Northside Ent. Ltd/Square Records.”

May D with P Square 

 I took an extra effort to reach out to sources close to Square Records who gave me some inside gist on what really happened. Apparently, May D NEVER signed an official contract with Square Records. They only had a verbal agreement. So, when it was time to sign the contract, May D made some demands that Square Records were not willing to meet. For this reason, their relationship dissolved.

It’s really sad things got to this level. Hopefully they can work together again in the future.

So what next for May D?? I hear he might be joining Davido and the HKN Gang soon. He spends most of his time with Davido these days and he’s expected to fly with the HKN crew to the United States for a series of video shoots. ***ssssshhhhh*** Remember where you heard this first!
