Khanyi Mbau Is Back In The News

Yes, Khanyi Mbau is in the headlines again, thanks to  her new book, “Bitch Please I’m Khanyi Mbau”. The book is supposed to come out this week, and I can just imagine people clamouring for it for all they have got.

Two things that stand out on it is:

• She raises that issue of ex husband Mandla Mthembu abusing her
• She dishes all about her relationship with businessman Theunis Crous

So, if you are interested in reading about Theunis Crous and the relationship that she had with him, and how small his "thing" is,go ahead and get the book. You will also learn about the kinky things that she used to do with Mandla Mthembu when they were married.

Trevor Gumbi Hangs Out All His Dirty Laundry

 Anger can make people do and say shocking things, most often things that they regret at a later stage. Take Trevor Gumbi for instance, he opted to go to Twitter to air everything out that is happening between him and his wife.

It turns out she has been unfaithful to him, but did the Mzansi Headine presenter Trevor Gumbi have to get this this hectic? Check it out below and decide for yourself!

Well, at least he tried to redeem himself as soon as he realise that it was not ayoba to be saying those things, especially given the fact that it was a day dedicated to women, National Women's day. 

 

And then when he finally woke up to what he had done, he said it was "bad jokes".

Well, I did not buy that one bit, and I am sure I am not the only one. One piece of advice, take a walk before you say hectic things. At least wait until you calm before you blast off!

Dali Tambo Show People of the South Comes Back to Our screens

When I first heard People of the South, Dali Tambo's show was coming back, I seriously did not believe. it. It was one of those things that I had to see to believe.  It seriously took me off guard, especially because it has been years since the show ended.

Oh those famous, not so great cushions that every guest used to have, I wonder if the guests will still get that or if the is a new idea of the gifts that the guests are going to get.

The very first episode was with our very own President Zuma, and though it has not been released with other famous people will be featured, it is said though that it is going to range, from politicians to business people, from sports stars to celebrities and much more. 

 People are talking about it, especially on social media like Twitter, but only time will tell if it is the show that makes people want to tune into SABC 3.

Hawks Arrest Bobby Motaung

The details pertaining the case are not out yet to the public, however, it was there were issues of fraud from the very beginning. It is even said, that a person actually died because of it all, but this is yet to be proven in court, with someone taking the fall for it.

Well, time will tell if he is involved, and how the situation will pen out.

Only time will tell. Stay tuned, I will keep you posted!

Phila Mazibuko Collapses on Muvhango

Phila Mazibuko who acts as Spha in Muvhango has been reported to have collapsed while shooting, not once but twice!

It is also being speculated that the guy has been partying a lot, and this comes from rumours that he partied it up at the Durban July which happened just two weeks ago (and a couple of days)

The collapse was quite bad as the paramedics had to work on him the first time, and the second time he actually ended up in Linksfield hospital.

In response to all this, Phila says he was working too much, between his acting, school as well as gigs. That's the reason he took a break from Muvhango for 3 months to get the rest he needs, because doctors said it was anxiety and stress that caused his collapse.

Whatever it is, we only hope that he is ok, and taking of himself, as a lot of people love seeing him on the tv screens.

Cameron van der Burgh Wins a Gold for South Africa

Cameron van der Burgh Wins a Gold for South Africa - He is the very first one to get a gold for South Africa.

He set a new world record in the process, and we just had to acknowledge this great feat.

He did all this in all of 58.46!

He has indeed made me proud, and I am sure made many others proud out there.

Chad le Clos and Cameron van der Burgh Win Gold at the 2012 Olympics

Another gold for South Africa at the Olympics, thanks to Chad le Clos!

What is amazing is that he beat one of the very best swimmers in the world ,Michael Phelps, who must be extremely disappointed. He should be consoled though, as he holds the record for holding the most medals for an Olympic career.

Did I mention that Chad le Clos is only 20 years old? Yes, he has achieved what most people dream of, at such a tender age.

There is no doubt, he has done South Africa proud, so has Cameron van der Burgh!

We hope that other South African athletes will step it up and bring more medals.

Boity Thulo is Iman Cosmetics Africa Ambassador

Boity Thulo is Iman Cosmetics Africa Ambassador - this is quite a huge deal, so congratulations to Boity for lading it. Being a celebrity is hard work, well at least for some of us who prefer obscurity. The entertainment industry is hard to be in, you either swim or sink.

You have to be willing to go out there and met a whole lot of people, you have to be willing to appear in publications and allow people to photograph. The whole of doing all that is to be out there, to expand your circle of people that you know and that who you know. Ultimately, the more you are out there, the more you are able to draw the interest you are looking fo and increase the chances of landing something amamzing.

Boity Thulo seems to know the secret. Congratulations to her, and i am sure this is not the last you hear of her.

Bonang Matheba Celebrates 25th B irthday

This is what the line up looked like for Bonang Matheba's 25 birthday party.

Honestly, Taboo was set on fire on Saturday night. The who's who of the entertainment industry was there, and if you weren't, you missed out. The DJ's behind the decks featured Sbu, Zinhle, Vigilante, Sizwe Dhlomo, Sphectacula, Lulo Cafe, Qness, Shluda, Naves, Thulz, Shimza - now that is a hell of a line up!

It does not end there, Pro did his thing!


All I can do is wish Bonang Matheba a great year, I am sure her star will continue to shine!

I know you are dying for some pics, so here goes:



 

Donald I Deserve Video

The love I Know I deserve - He Simply calls himself Donald, and he has dropped a song and a half.
It is my favorite song right now, and I just think it is so beautiful. I am a sucker for love and I have not been so sucked into the R'n B in South Africa, but this song hit me really deep.

Before you bite my head off, I am saying R 'n B because of the tone and lyrics of the song, but I understand that there is also some house elements to it, because of the beat. Whatever it is, I love it and I must say Donald has a very beautiful voice.

I hope you love it as much as I do! I will continue supporting him forever!

Bonang Matheba in Top Billing

Bonang Matheba in SABC Top Show SABC 3 - You know you have made it if you get featured in Top Billing, and there is no doubt that she has.

She has presented Live for the last couple years, she has endorsements, she has her own radio show, she is pushing her own businesses and she is totally in demand. It is clear why people want her involved in what they do.

Being in the media like she is, sometimes people will want to focus on the not so amazing things that are happening in her life, like the issue with her boyfriend or ex boyfriend DJ Euphonik and the allegations that he physically abused her.

Whatever is going on in her personal life, Bonang Matheba is shining. she is an inspiration to many including me, and the fact that she is getting success so early on is just testament that the sky is the limit.

Something tells me that her star is just going to continue to shine and that she is going to go far. We will continue following her.

I love the guy and I love what he has done with the song, so I thought I should post this on my blog. I hope you will love him the way I am loving him.

Bosso Ke mang - ke HHP for keeping the music fresh and for having been in the industry this long and still having something significant to share.

Bernard Parker Weds His Bride Wendy cherry

Kaizer Chief's Bernard Parker is officially no longer a free man! A couple of years back, he found his soul mate in Wendy Cherry and he has finally said I do.The wedding happened in Ballito in the Kwazulu Natal area, and considering how beautiful Ballito is, you better believe it when I say the wedding was absolutely beautiful.




There is no doubt, Bernard Parker looks dashing!





Oh but the bride is pretty stunning herself also!





I love the classic jaquar , it truly was a fairytale!





What a beautiful couple!

Looks like it's a match made in heaven!
There is no doubt, the look good together, and they sure look very happy.

Lets treat you with a picture of the couple together, wow!

We sure wish Bernard Parker and Wendy Cherry all the best in their marriage.

Theo Kgosinkwe as a Dad and a Husband

Picture taken from drum magazine

The spotlight is on Theo Kgosinkwe and he does not disappoint. He is undoubtedly one of south Africa's brightest stars when it comes to the music industry, but he is so much more than that.

He is a father and he is a husband. I literally fell in love with him and his children, as I looked at pictures of them in the June issue of Drum. As you can imagine the demands of a career in music take him away from home and from his two angels and his wife, finding that quality to time to spend with his family is something that is very important to him.

Besides his commitment to his family, I love that He acknowledges the role that God plays in His life.It is clear how blessed he is, it is clear the kind the contribution that he is making to the music industry  but what is also important is for him to teach his children the values they need to be great representatives of South Africa one day.

This is role that Theo Kgosinkwe takes seriously, and I love that a black brother takes his role as father and husband seriously. He has beautiful children and I am sure he will continue being the great dad that he is.

We wish him all the best in all his roles.

Khanyi Mbau Goes under the Knife Again

Khanyi Mbau, the queen of bling is seen as one of the most beautiful women in South Africa, and looking at her it is clear to see why.

 

Some may argue that it is not natural beauty, that it is beauty that only those who can afford have the luxury of having. Frankly, I don't think she cares what the rest of us think.

At only 27, Khanyi Mbau has been under the knife 8 times. Recently, she has just had a skin rejuvenation treatment, which is supposed to lift the skin and give it a great glow. What the procedure does is to remove the top skin layer to expose the beautiful skin underneath that has not been damaged.

To top that, she also had a botox done, in her forehead, to make all those lines starting to show to disappear. It does not end there, she also had a nose job as well as a cheek job. It is really a wonder what money can buy.

Natural beauty or not, the procedure did exactly what it was supposed to do, because she looks hot as ever. Check back in quickly, we will keep you posted.

Nhlanhla Nciza Becomes a Mom Again

Nhlanhla Nciza and her husband TK have been blessed with a new bundle of joy. It is a baby boy called Luvuyo, who came into the world on the 14 June 2012. After the tragedy that they have experienced and gone through, when they lost their little girl Zinathi, one can only smile at this beautiful news.

Also, you can also imagine the happiness that they are experiencing at the arrival of this bundle of joy. Luvuyo means "our joy" and they are extremely excited about this great news. Friends and family welcomed the news when they got communication about the baby, and how healthy

We all get excited about the thought of new babies, but, we all should just allow Nhlanhla and TK to enjoy the baby, and when they are ready they will share their baby with the world.

We sure hope Luvuyo continues to be healthy and grow into a healthy boy and bring a lot of joy to his parents. We wish her Nhlanhla Nciza and TK Nciza the the very best.

Gareth Cliff Finds His Black Queen

Gareth Cliff is said to be in love, with Dimakatso Miemie Seleka who hails from the North West. They are said to be dating and are said to be very much in love with each other.  Ooh I am a sucker for love so this makes me smile to no end!

In fact it gets more exciting! Dimakatso is said to be pregnant, which means Gareth will be a daddy soon. Yes, this is not a new relationship, it is almost a two year old relationship. Speculation ended of whether the two were dating after Gareth Cliff said on air that he was dating someone from the "bundus".

It is very clear that she knows him intimately, because she even knows hi middle name, Rydal. She was definitely not impressed that the press knows about her and Cliff, but it is something that was going to come out sooner or later.


She is no where close to being in the radio or the TV industry, which makes me wonder where they met. She is said to be in the sciences, with a qualification in IT. She is quite impressive actually, as she is said to be a director of some engineering partner. For someone so young at 24, that is definitely impressive.

Anyway, not everyone is going to be excited about their relationship, but as I said I am a sucker for love, so I wish them all the best.

Kaizer Motaung Jnr weds

KAIZER Chiefs striker Kaizer Motaung Jnr has found the love of his life, in  German Queen.

 

 

Kaizer Motaung Jnr and Cathrine Heider have a child together. Picture by courtesy of Sunday World.

They sure look great together. I can just imagine all the disappointed women out there, who were secretly hoping that he could be with them or that they could have a chance. Sorry to break it to you, but Kaizer is taken ladies!

They have been blessed with a son, what could be more amazing than that.

Well, they are about to tie the knot, in fact in the time of writing this, they are already man and wife. Unfortunately, it has been difficult thus far to get pictures of the wedding.

For those of who who do not know, they have been together for a long time. They have been engaged for two years now, and they met in early 2000's. considering that this is 2012, it is indeed a long time since they met, and have been nurturing their relationship ever since.

It is really amazing to know that they have been together for a long time, and have made their relationship work.

As the family and friends flew overseas, we only hope that the wedding was as beautiful as they wanted it to be. As soon as we get hold of the wedding pics, we will post them here, so stay tuned!

Idols South Africa 2012

 I am sure you are already aware that the Idols SA Eight season is well underway, as it started on the 3rd June.

 As I write this, on the 17 June, the auditions are being held at Cape Town at the Table Bay Hotel. Of course, the Johannesburg and the Durban auditions have already happened and those who have gotten the golden tickets have been made very happy.

 The judges, Unathi Msengana, Gareth Cliff and Randal Abrahams have a hard job to do, as there are so many talented people who have come through already, so I am sure Cape Town also has something special on offer. I am sure you cannot wait to see the talent that was found in Cape Town, but you will have to wait a bit longer, because you can see the highlights only on the 24 June 2011.

It is going to be more interesting as more eliminations are being made, as more hearts get broken and dreams seem like they are going to come true.Thousands of people have entered the competition, hoping to strike it big, hoping to be the next big thing. Yes, when it is like this, there is bound to be a lot of tears, and there is bound to be emotions running high and of course disappointments.

A golden ticket is what everyone is gunning for, but only very few can taste it, and have a chance at making their dreams come true.

There is no doubt, it is very entertaining and it can be sad though to see dreams being thrashed. Keep watching Idols, as you too can find your favorite performer.

Toya Delazy Due Drop

I don't know about you but I love Toya Delazy. She is one talented soul and her music is a breath of fresh air.

Yes, I am sure that sounds like a cliche, but that is exactly how I feel about it.The very first time I listened to her song, I was hooked, I just sat there and listened, because honestly I just had to hear who she was. That time, I had no clue who she was, or whether she was even South African. It was that very day, that she blew me away!

Her first studio album called Due South has dropped, and let me just say, that if you do not have it, you really should get it. Let me just say, that every song is worth listening to in the album, which makes it a great investment. Every song will say something to you, so if you listen good, you will take something from it.

I have to say that in South Africa, where most people are focused on kwaito, gospel and hip hop, it was nice to see someone breaking away from that. I am in no way dissing anything, I am just saying that it was nice to see someone not try to fit into something popular, that most people are doing.  She did her own thing, and I am so glad because she is so good at it.

Her style is so unique, you will fall in love with it. Want a snippet of the album, here is the track list:

Intro (with you)
Are You Gonna Stay?
Heart
Yeah Yeah Yeah (With You)
Love Is In The Air
Memoriam
Pump It On
Love Takes Time
It’s All Good
Jai Lover
Say It Out

Go get it, you will not be disappointed!

South African Artists and celebrities

Welcome to South African Artists and celebrities. This blog is dedicated entirely to them , the good, the bad and the ugly.

Of course I am a sucker for positiveness, so that will be the main focus of this blog, to be able to see artists as people who are humans and who make mistakes. The issue will not be to zoom in on their bad things that they do, but rather on the good things that they contribute to.

If they make mistakes, who cares. They are humans and i think we all deserve a second chance. Anyways, some people that you are going to read about here are one of my favorites, such as L Tido, Khuli Chana, Da Les, Bongani Fassie, Bonang Matheba, Minnie Dlamini, Dj Fresh, T Bo Touch, DJ Tira, AKA, Nonhle Thema, Thomas Gumede, Lungile Radu, Siyabonga Ngwekazi, David Tlale, Kenny Kunene, Unathi Msengana, Slikour, DJ Euphonik, Khanyi Mbau, Jub Jub, Kelly Khumalo, Dj Sbu, Zhara and much more.

Just be on the look out for that, and if you have things that you want to share, do let us know.
