A 3D version of the latest Bourne movie made exclusively for Chinese cinemas has caused local audiences to complain about headaches and nausea.
The format remains hugely popular in the country, particularly when it comes to action movies.

But the conversion process required to give the 2D-shot film an extra dimension seems to have been ill-judged in this case.
Why has China got a 3D Bourne? Cinemas usually charge more for movies screened in three dimensions, so there's an obvious incentive to show them in the format.

But while Europe and the US have seen ticket sales for 3D movies decline, there's still a strong appetite for the technology in China.

Many theatres in the country are fairly new and have equipped themselves with the latest projectors.
When it comes to 3D movies, however, there are two kinds.

"Real" 3D movies are shot with a dual-lens cameras, which capture two versions of every shot. Special glasses let viewers see a different one with each eye. Many …

It comes to a point in the country where everyone’s attention is geared towards one celebrity.

One person in the entertainment industry who has been enjoying a lot of buzz from the media and citizens is actress Yvonne Nelson.

If her words are anything to be taken serious, then she has had enough of Ghanaians always expressing ideas about her.

She has told Hitz FM’s MzGee that it is time Ghanaians turn their attention to other public figures in the country because everything cannot be about her always.

She said people track her a lot trying to figure out everything she is doing.

“People are still concerned about who I’m hanging out with, what I’m wearing, where I’m sleeping, what I’m posting on Instagram, I don’t understand.

Charley, we are many so can they also talk about other people? I’m just tired” Yvonne told MzGee.

She admitted that Ghanaians talking about her helped boost her career.

“I enjoyed it. I think it's helped me whether negative or positive because its all par…

We’ve seen several Ghanaian celebrities, even those without any pull factor or social media influence making strong political declarations for the NDC on social media.

It’s been slow for the NPP in that respect but now, comedian/musician, A-Plus who has a huge social media influence, capable of influencing the direction of conversations has made a declaration for the NPP and Nana Akufo Addo.
A few hours ago, A-Plus changed his Facebook profile to the above, bearing NPP’s message and party colours and the profile picture has already received over 2400 likes from his followers.

It does seem like the conversation and campaign is about to get heated on social media.

Hillary Clinton's personal aide, Huma Abedin, has announced she is separating from her husband, disgraced former politician Anthony Weiner. 
Ms Abedin's announcement comes after a report emerged that he had allegedly exchanged sexual photos with a woman.
He appeared to have sent a photo of himself in his underpants with his toddler son nearby.

The former congressman resigned in 2011 after sending explicit photos to women by text message.
"After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband," Ms Abedin said in a statement. 
"Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy."
She is one of Mrs Clinton's most trusted advisers and Republican Donald Trump said it showed a lack of judgement on her part, with Mr Weiner possibly having access to classified information.
