A few weeks back, 3am desk landed on info that city vocalist, Maurice Kirya and Sanyu FM presenter, Melanie were an item. Snoops have spotted the two hanging out together several times of recent.

At the time snoops intimated that; "They were holding hands while attending a movie premiere at Cineplex Cinema and then two days after they stormed  Nakumatt based Cafe Javas for some Ice Cream."

Snoops have since landed on an exclusive picture of the two on a night out again. They say a picture speaks a thousand words but this one speaks volumes on the chemistry between Melanie and Kirya. We rest the case!

       
Ever since Sanyu FM started broadcasting as the first FM station in 1992 there have been mushrooming radios all over Uganda.The latest count reveals as of May 2011, Uganda boasts of approximately 260 stations.

Kampala tops the list with 47 stations while  Mbale and Mbarara come second with 18 each.Jinja and Masaka followed with 14 each.Today,Tukyakale Magazine takes a look at the babes in the studios who take pleasure in  commanding you not to 'touch that dial'

The reasons may range from mellow voices to the way they realy their content.

Crystal - Teaming up with the late Bangi(RIP), the dynamic duo made the evening show on Sanyu FM fast- paced. Val, her current co-host compliments her well too. They make a good team together.The only dampener to her good voice  and smart presentation is that she laughs about anything; which in a way irritates some of her critics.

Bina Baby - She's a legend at Dembe FM and her mid-morning show is popular. however, her voice tempo is so "bedroomish,'something soothing for listeners between the sheets past mid-night, not 11 am when one is getting sticky in the Kampala heat.

Nvanungi Sheila - If you are looking for a female radio legend, then you can't look further than Sheila Nvanungi. She brought in a different colour at the vernacular speaking CBS FM.

The testament of how much guys love to listen to her is measured by how much they missed her during the period CBS was closed.

Cleopatra - The former Obssessions singer turned actress is also new on the radio.It's still to early to judge the impact she might make on radio but pundits believe so far not bad.

We can only hope she doesn't suffer the syndrome that caught up with the likes of Bebe Cool who quit after two months at Capital FM. She is currently on Radiocity.

Seanice - She is an old timer. During her breakfast show at Sanyu FM, She is equipped with a lot knowledge that makes her eloquent in her presentation. However, she sometimes takes arguments quite far, leaving listeners in the 'dark' and of course she is too argumentative.

Flavia - There's no question that Flavia Tumusiime is among the most talented female presenters in the country. Her judgement, selection of topics while on her AM-PM show on Capital FM is good and of course she gets a plus with her voice that is topped with good looks. She is a darling to many listeners.

Desire Luzinda - A new comer onto the radio world, the shapely singer is still grappling with the dynamics of radio presenting. Listening to her evening show with Emperor Orlando on Dembe, one needs extra attention to keep track with what she is saying.

But as a musician, she has brought on some of her fans aboard the show.

Melanie - On the Sanyu breakfast show, she exudes intelligence. She debates in a liberal manner and has away of 'shutting off' Fatboy who often assumes the role of Mr. Bully She is to argumentative at times though.

Lillian - Despite being a new  entrant into the world of radio broadcasting, the former Blu3 singer has confidence. Her mid morning show on Radiocity is well packaged and the music is fabulous. All she has to do is improve her 'r' which she tries to pronounce with an accent.

Prossy Patra - Eki Lavu Lavu is probably one of the most famous Luganda night shows.Prossy Patra has been at its helm  at Dembe FM and save for her maternity days and the reign of Bina Baby, she has done a great job.

Though the show requires a soft voice , she takes it anextra mile and  sometimes listeners struggle to get her words. Who blames the guys who call in and lay their manifestos on air?

Just last week we revealed how those who loved Melanie Kaita should put their hands together because she was back in full swing at Sanyu FM Morning Show.

We then went on to reveal that Melanie had been brought back by the Crane Chambers based radio stations top managers to help boost the Morning show which had seen its ratings and popularity going down hill.

Melanie and Seanice have already showed that they have totally different ways of presenting. While Melanie is confrontation, argumentative and very intelligent on topics of the day (her fans like it that way), Seanice on the other hand wants to keep it cool, easy and sometimes gets lost in the topic of the day.(she too has a huge following). This has brought about cross fire sparks between the two ladies.

Melanie made a U-turn and came back to the station and now the question on everyone's lips is; Are the two chics headed for a clash of egos?

For all those who loved Melanie Keita put your hands together because she is back in full swing. Snoops have learnt that Melanie who used to co-host the Sanyu FM Morning Show with Fat Boy is back on doing what she used to do best.

Apparently, Melanie was brought back by top management to boost the morning show which was starting to lose its popularity. A source told us; "She is back on the morning show and she will be co-hosting it with Seanice and Fat Boy.

We hope it will re-energize the whole thing." It should be remembered that Melanie shocked Sanyu FM managers when she resigned from her job. She cited 'pursuing further studies abroad' as the reason why she wanted to quit. She later bounced back and she has been presenting a programme every Sunday.

In the meantime, Seanice Kacungira who had also quit some years back to work for capital FM in Nairobi had bounced at the station as the Programmes Director before filling the space that was left by Melanie's exit.

Snoops however intimated that the real reason why Melanie had quit in the first place was because there was bad blood brewing between her and Seanice. Now they will be working alongside each other; Will it work? Watch this space!

Heartaches happen to everyone. Whether we are celebrities or regularly broke, famous or not, we still encounter cheaters, insecure psychos and sexy lovers that we can't stand. The only difference is that celebrity relationships usually unfold for the world to see.

The break ups are delicious slices of gossip that we can't ignore. Just peep at this list of celebrities that were de-famed by friends as result of fame.

Juliana and Iryn -The former singing  due of I-Jay can only exchange greetings. The two tried to be on top of each other after their celebrity status rose but it only led to a bitter split. Their efforts to reconcile have been fruitless.

Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine - Theirs is getting unbearable. The former buddies are on a 'weight' war of who is bigger than the other. Their silly accusations range from my wife is hotter than yours, 'my music is better than yours' such kind of nonsense.

They have even gone on to exchanging blows all in the name of fame. We don't see any reconciliation in the near future but we hope it will one day come.

Seanice and Melanie - The two senior radio presenters have been at war ever since they came into the limelight, fighting the 'I' better than you battle. When Seanice left for Nairobi. Melanie got some relief but since her return, the feud has intensified, especially after she replaced Melanie on the morning breakfast show.

Chameleone and Goodlyfe - Self proclaimed singing doctor, Jose Chameleone, was the president of Weasel  and Radio when they were still members of the Leone Island Crew. But they are now sworn enemies yet Chamili and Weasel are blood brothers.

When Goodlyfe saw their fame rising each passing day, they saw no reason of being under big brother. They formed their own group and since then , fighting abusive songs have been their order of the day.

Obsession and HB Toxic - They were in the same group but as intrigue and accusations grew with their fame, Brenda and Helen quit the group and formed the HB Toxic. What former workmates and friends can only afford to say now is a simple 'Hi' and nothing else.

Troubled and jobless Melanie Kaita has regretted her decision to throw in the towel as Sanyu FM presenter, we can tell. After her four year stint as a co-presenter on the morning show of the Crane Chambers based radio station, Melanie tendered her resignation with claims she was going abroad for further studies.

Initially rumour circulated that she was set to join TZ based East Africa TV or Radio but it never happened. She was then replaced with Sanyu FM old gal, Seanice. Now we are told Melanie is too bored with no serious activity going on in her life. Sources claim she is regretting why she so hastily resigned from her job without another clear one at hand.

A pal adds, 'She doesn't have a clear picture of what to do since her plans didn't go as she expected.' Well, that's a huge lesson gal!

Hardly days after Sanyu FM's long serving morning co-host, Melanie Kaita quit her job; rumour doing rounds is that she could be in line for a TV slot on EATV.

The argumentative Melanie joined the show after the departure of Seanice Kacungira and together with Fatboy, made Sanyu FM's morning show one of the most listened to shows in Kampala. It was earlier alleged that she could be heading for further studies.

But the latest reveals that Melanie's studies aborad have been put on hold and she could now be heading to the Tanzania based EATV. We hear she could replace Abby(Gaetano's bonkmate in Big Brother Africa) A pal says: "Melanie is keeping it a secret but she is in line for a job at the popular EATV. The deal is not through yet"
