Michael Essien is heading to Italy to speak to AC Milan

Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien is poised to move to AC Milan.

The 31-year-old has found opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge since returning from a loan spell at Real Madrid last season and has permission from Jose Mourinho to leave.

Milan were one of a number of interested parties and on Friday announced Essien is expected in northern Italy later in the evening.

A statement on acmilan.com read: “Michael Essien in expected in the city this evening.”

Essien joined Chelsea from Lyon for £24.4million in 2005.

He suffered from a succession of knee injuries and the signing of Nemanja Matic from Benfica saw Essien slip further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

The Ghana international arrived in Milan on Friday evening.

He told Milan Channel: “I’m happy to be here. I will do my best for Milan and I hope to be ready to play.

“I spoke with Mr (Clarence) Seedorf (the Milan head coach) two days ago. I cannot wait to be available.

“I really want to thank the chairman and the team and thanks to Mourinho, who has allowed me to wear the Rossoneri shirt.

Movie producer and critic Charles Novia has expressed concern over the emergence of Genevieve Nnaji as Etisalat ambassador will have her relationship with music maestro, Dbanji.

According to Novia,  Geneveive Nnaji may be forced to break up with her boyfriend D'banj - a Glo ensignee.

Genevieve Nnaji was recently announced as one of the new Brand Ambassadors of Etisalat, a telecommunications company operating in Nigeria.

He said 'Amid the congratulatory messages from her fans sent to her on some sites, a few cynical remarks caught my attention. (By the way, congrats Ms Nnaji!)

'Congrats, Genevieve. But wait o…your Boyfriend, D'Banj is a Glo Ambassador and now you are an Etisalat Ambassador. It has been reported that two of you will marry this year after being live-in-lovers and dating steadily for a while now. Since both of you have not denied this piece of news, I assume that it is true.

Lady Gaga has shown us time and time again how comfortable she is with her body — but this is the controversial superstar’s most revealing video yet! We’ve seen her side boob, we’ve seen her butt, and now we’ve really seen it all!

Lady Gaga spent three days at a retreat in upstate New York learning the Abramovic Method, “a series of exercises designed to heighten participants’ awareness of their physical and mental experience in the present moment.” And what better way to be self-aware than by getting totally nude? Lady Gaga tries out various poses and outfits — most notably her birthday suit — in this bizarre video she filmed to promote a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the Marina Abramovic Institute. Read on for more details!

Lady Gaga Naked In New ’Abramovic Method’ Video

Lady Gaga strips down to … well, absolutely nothing in this latest NSFW video. The “Born This Way” singer took a brief hiatus after undergoing hip surgery, but in true Gaga fashion, the eccentric singer is back doing what she does best — dropping jaws and dropping trou.
The video shows Mama Monster — sometimes in the buff, sometimes not — letting out a few excessively long, guttural notes while bending over in a forest; standing in a lake with two yellow spikes covering her eyes; and — our favorite — cuddling up to a giant crystal while totally naked.
We’re not sure exactly what the take-away is, but hey — we’re always game for more Gaga!

Lady Gaga Raises Funds For The Marina Abramovic Institute

The Kickstarter campaign has already raised more than $220,000 from over 1,000 backers — and we’re sure many more of Lady Gaga’s little monsters will contribute once they see this video.
Lady Gaga has long been a fan of performance artist Marina Abramovic, who collaborated with the fame monster on her upcoming album,
 
“I’m obsessed with this woman,” Gaga says of Marina in a 2010 interview. “She is so incredible.”
So are you, Lady Gaga. So are you.
