SA rockband Parlotones are making a Giant Mistake

Image
ROCK band The Parlotones have become the South Africa’s newest — and most unlikely — winemakers. The three-times South African Music Awards nominees have been hard at work in the cellars of Bosman Wine Estate in Wellington, outside Cape Town, where they have been blending their own wine out of Pinotage, Shiraz and other varietals. Lead singer Kahn Morbee told The Times that this was just another “cool” way of venturing into business. “We’ve always wanted to know how to make wine and now, with the help of wine experts at the farm, we are making our own,” he said. “We’ve been mixing a whole lot of flavours to find what we really like . We will call it a Giant Mistake after a song in our latest album, A World Next Door To Yours.” In just a couple of months the wine will be available in all Woolies stores in SA. So you can get a taste of the Giant Mistake too...

Oprah Winfrey  is setting the record straight about her long, luscious locks. Answering questions from her "Tweeple" (fans on her  Twitter ) about the authenticity of her flowing tresses on Friday's show, Winfrey let a never-before-seen photo of herself do the talking.

Mr Monroe has told the Santa Monica court he was "left for dead" by security at the 2005 Seattle gig. A 12-person jury must decide if Mr Broadus should compensate Mr Monroe. Mr Monroe says that, as Mr Broadus launched into his hit, Gin and Juice, he thought the rapper had called on fans to get up on the stage.

Oprah sends Bo Obama a gift package to the White House

Image
I must say I have never heard of something called a first pet, but that is exaclty what Bo Obama is to the Obama's in the white House. That dog is even managing to get more publicity than anything else in that house. READ THIS: How is first dog Bo? “He’s kind of crazy, but he’s still a puppy. So he likes to play a lot,” First Lady Michelle Obama told children visiting the White House for the annual Take Your Child to Work Day on Thursday. On Wednesday, she recalled, “it was like 10 o’clock. Everybody was asleep and we hear all this barking and jumping around. The president and I came out and we thought somebody was out there. And it was just Bo. He was playing with his ball. And it was like there was another person in the house.” The 6-month-old Portuguese water dog “loves to chew on people’s feet,” she added.

Malia Obama disses Oprah as she and her sis Sasha sell lemonade to raise funds for their daddy's future campaign

Image
I cracked up when I read that someone other than US designer Tommy Hilfiger can actually get under queen of talk Oprah's skin. And guess who it is now? Malia Obama. Only 10-years-old and little girl has ticked oprah off lol.  READ THIS: First daughters Malia and Sasha Obama have opened a lemonade stand on the White House lawn near the visitors entrance. They are the first official residents to sell foodstuffs from the Executive Mansion since Amy Carter (the Bush twins buying beer from their secret service agents not counted). Thus far, their after school enterprise has been a huge success. The girls have sold out of their product every day and are considering opening a second location across the street at the Washington monument (Malia would remain at the "home office location" and Sasha would work the new store). The girls charge $1 for a twelve ounce glass of lemonade (ice is 25 cents extra). Persons wanting to pet Bo, the new White House dog, are charged $2 for thirty

As much as I respect Sir Richard Branson but this is GROSS!

Can you beleive that this billionaire Sir Richard Branson decided to pose with a nude model for his new campaign. The chick who is allegedly the photographer's girlfriend also claims that 58-years-old Branson made a move on her? Which ticked off the photographer...

US Celebs can just waltz into the White House

Image
Am sure SA celebs wish they could just walk into the Presidential home for a visit or perhaps to moan about thier non-existing salaries? Well the celebs in the US can do just that in the White House as their president Barack Obama has installed an open policy that allows them to drop by anytime they want to chat. What a joke. But as funny as it is, its true and look what the cat dragged in yesterday at the White House. READ THIS from Gawker.com : So yesterday morning, Usher just showed up at the  White House , apparently uninvited, and he and his entourage just walked in the northwest gate.  But President Obama wasn't home.  Informed that Obama had just left for Iowa and wouldn't be inside, the singer seemed disappointed. "He did?" he said. What an odd story! Usher just came over for a chat, apparently. And there is an open door-to-R&B superstars policy, at the  White House , even when the President is a thousand miles away.  At least  Tiger Woods and the White S
