Comic Trevor Gumbi's own reality TV show The Gumbis is not a reality yet.
Gumbi has starred in a number of shows, from the soapie Rockville and e.tv's once-off Rolling With ... Trevor Gumbi to Vuzu's current spoof The Real Jozi A-Listers (of which Gumbi is also the head writer ). And he is also a radio host of TGSquared on Cliff Central. 
His dream about having his own show seemed on the verge of coming true, especially after Solly Moeng, director at production company New Vision, recently posted an Instagram picture of his laptop bearing the title page for The Gumbis.
Gumbi himself commented on the post , saying "do best!", as did his wife, Lucille, who stated "work it".
When she spoke to The Times yesterday, she had little to say about which stage of development the show was in: "There's no date on that. We're not shooting [right now]."
New Vision has produced several local reality shows, including Being Mandela, Dineo's Diary, Cream Cartel, Vixens, Running with the Reps, and Bonang Matheba's online reality show B*Dazzled.
Vuzu publicist Thandeka Mqaba said yesterday: "There has not been any confirmation for this show. If and when it is due on our screens, a press release will be sent out to the media with all the details."
In August, Gumbi spoke about his Rolling with Trevor Gumbi special, telling The Star: "I was approached by e.tv with the idea and was more than happy to oblige. I have plans to do a reality TV show with my family. Shooting it was practice for hopefully getting a full-length season in the future.
"Nevertheless, I am happy that we are doing this." - report from The Times/ Andile Ndlovu

Joost tape is out for all to see...

Image
THE Joost van der Westhuizen sex tape saga descended into a tabloid frenzy last month as Heat magazine screened a grainy video purporting to show the former Springbok captain in compromising positions.  The 29-minute tape, which was shown to journalists, showed a man who bore some resemblance to Van der Westhuizen frolicking with what heat magazine described as a “vindictive young lady” wearing two G-strings “in the stripper tradition”.  It claimed that the video proved conclusively that Van der Westhuizen had cheated on his wife, singer Amore Vittone. But the magazine did not identify the woman and provided little corroborating evidence in the accompanying story. Twelve print, radio and television journalists watched the man, whom Van der Westhuizen strongly denies is him, arousing himself, running his hands over the woman’s body, and using a sex toy. Now HEAT has place the video up on their site.  Click HERE to see all this drama.
