Hello and welcome to the Final Issue of the year. When I started thinking about what I wanted for this issue, the first thing that came to mind is lots of content and then something fun, exciting and different. I wanted this issue to be special and I got what I wanted. Thanks to all of our team members. They really went the extra length to make this issue special. A lot goes into coordinating these issues so I would also like to say a big thank you to the big dog of coordination, the most coordinated person I know, our creative director, Nkeiruka Oruche for making sure everything went smoothly. You are "it" girlfriend. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone that took their time to work on this issue. It is a great issue that I am very proud of. I would also like to say a big thank you to our readers, most especially those who send those encouraging emails we love so much, keep it coming, we love to hear from you.

Nigerian Entertainment has gone through a lot of face lifts over the past few years and yes, this is yet another one. There is only one word to describe the content in this issue, HOT!. You do not want to miss out on a single page. I have been watching a lot of E! Channel lately and they always seem to have one countdown or another. The countdowns are always very amusing and fun to watch. This insipred one of my favorite section in this issue, the top 5 of 2005. Some of our team members were asked to come up with what they thought was the best 5 of 2005 in each category. We have categories like Top 5 scandals, Top 5 no they didnt, so prepare to laugh till you drop.
