Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Image
Just when you think you have a woman in check by divorcing her and writing a book about your life with her. She hits you where it hurts hard. There aint no better saying than this: " Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." That is exactly what Afrikkans singer Steve Hofmeyr got for cheating on his wife publicly then leaving her and to add salt to the wounds he wrote a book detailing his afffairs. Read This: Hofmeyr froths as ex’s book steals the limelight AFRIKAANS rock star Steve Hofmeyr is livid about a tell-all book, written by his soon-to-be ex-wife, in which she spills the beans on their 10-year marriage. On his blog, the rocker said on Tuesday: “Damn, I am under siege from all sides,” and that one sentence from Natasha Sutherland’s book “out of three thousand” has been blown out of proportion. Referring to Hofmeyr’s infidelities, Sutherland wrote in her book: “… this is when the punch in the stomach and the strange lipstick traces on your soulmate’s underpa

Mike Tyson's kid dies

Image
Yesterday I battled to find words to write about famous boxer Mike Tyson's accident involving his kid. I was just afraid that all the bad thought I had and the blame I was placing on Mike for the accident were going to just pour out to into the blog and just leave me feeling dreadful when I read it over and over again. So I opted not to write about the accident and rather ignored the whole thing and followed it behind closed doors instead. Then this morning I was reading SAPA news and I buped into the headline "Tyson's kid dies i hospital" - man was I shattered thinking how did that even happen? READ this from NowMagazine : Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter dies Exodus was pronnounced dead on Tuesday morning Wednesday, 27 May 2009 Mike Tyson ’s youngest daughter Exodus has died following a tragic accident at her home in Phoenix.The 4-year-old was put on life support after her mum and brother, 7, found her hanging from a treadmill cord on Monday morning.She was rushed

Twitter is working on its first TV series, according to The Hollywood Reporter . The social networking service is teaming with producers Reveille and Brillstein Entertainment Partners to incorporate tweeting into the action of the unscripted show, a creation of novelist Amy Ephron (sister of Nora and Delia). Reveille has already been working with Twitter on MTV's The Alexa Chung Show . And some of Hollywood's finest celebs threaten to quit twitter if it even begins to have a TV show including couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Gabiville Thinks : I dont know about this but I hope they don't do it cause if Demi and Ashton say they gonna quit it if it goes to TV, then I think its a bad idea because now most celebs will also quit the show. Do you think Twitter should go on TV?

Talking about a painting in her gym which features the famous gold statue, she revealed, “I look at it, and I’m like, ‘Ok, I have to stay in shape’”.

Fistaz Mixwell gets in a car accident...

Image
DJ Fiztaz Mixwell best known to people as a house DJ and MetroFM music programmer, to many was in an accident over the weekend. And guess what his friend or business partner Tbo Touch was so concerned he twittered: " My boy Mixwell got in terrible accident last night. THE CLK is off the road now, wonder whats next!! I smell a ML63" Call me mean or whatever but this dude is silly, his friend gets into an accident and he has time to brag on what kind of car he will be driving and seemed to care more about the vehicle that was in an accident than his friend. Lord have mercy on Tbo Touch cause the more he tweets, the more I just think he is plain old stupid! Fear not as the DJ Fistaz is out of harms way as he seemed to be okay by Sunday afternoon when he twittered that: " Catching up with my fav TV shows, Dexter, 24, Fringe, The Mentalist, Burn Notice, Shark & some Discovery channel. Yay ! Oh.. & Sunday papers" Thank God he is okay...

Khanyi Dhlomo to wed for the 2nd time...

Image
The gorgeous magazine editor of Destiny, Khanyi Dhlomo who also happens to be the sister to Sizwe Dhlomo, is to wed her Nigerian-American beau in December. Knowing this for about a month know, I was quiet amazed when I saw it in the paper this weekend. READ this from Sunday World : It could be second time lucky for former model, magazine editor and now media mogul Khanyi Dhlomo, who is set to tie the knot with her dream man. Khanyi will walk down the aisle later this year with her hunk, Nigerian-American businessman Chinezi Chijioke. The lovebirds met at Harvard University and have been dating for over two years. Khanyi earned an MBA at Harvard Business School and last year launched her new magazine Destiny – a high-end businesswomen’s publication. A source close to the couple tells Sunday World they got engaged on Valentine’s Day at Khanyi’s home. “They can’t get enough of each other,” s

Dudu Zuma's bash

I always wondered when people like presidents daughters have parties if they ever have as much security, guards and if they have surprise overseas guests at all. Well my questions were answered at Dudu Zuma's birthday bash, thought her hot twin brother would come but its evident that hot one loves his private life and will keep it at such even though he is practically the first kid of the prez. Unlike his sisters Dudu and Phumzile, he is certainly not going to be a socialite at events. READ from The Times : First daughter’s birthday gig PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma’s daughter Duduzile threw a R400000 birthday bash on Tuesday night for 600 of her closest friends. French champagne and expensive imported Cognac flowed at the Arabian-themed 27th birthday bash at which Zuma sparkled in a stunning designer dress. The party was held at the posh Inanda Club in Sandton, in a marquee . Waiters served sushi, calamari, salmon, and chicken and beef kebabs. The guests — including ANC Youth Le

Is Jason Hartman burning his bridges?

Hartman tells all, then denies all Idols winner Jason Hartman has come out to express his unhappiness about sharing the winner’s title with Sasha-Lee Davids, the standards of the Idols production team and the living conditions in the Idols house. In an interview with Heat magazine that is sure to ruffle some feathers, Hartman speaks about how he truly feels about the embarrassing voting blunder that led to him being declared joint winner with Davids. The magazine says that Hartman said in an interview that he thought Davids should hand over the crown and that — despite public displays of solidarity between the two — the two of them were not on speaking terms. Hartman admitted in the interview that he had been on the receiving end of a lot of vicious comments from Davids’ fans. “He told us that he had feedback from Sasha-Lee’s fans and family, saying that he was behind it all, which Jason insisted was the furthest thing from the truth,” said Heat editor Melinda Shaw. But Hartman denied

The Bang Bang Club goes to Cannes and Nadia was there to see it all...

Image
I have to definately share this, a friend of mine Nadia from 702/Highveld is at the Cannes festival all the way in France and she keeps Twittering about all the things she is doing making us all jealous back here in SA. Well here is what I picked up from her that was in The Times today: THOUGH the film hasn’t been finished, the trailer of The Bang-Bang Club has already hit the Cannes film festival. Actors Ryan Philippe, Malin Akerman and Taylor Kitsch are in the resort town promoting the movie, which was made in SA, about four news photographers who documented the violence at the end of apartheid. Greg Marinovich, the photographer who co-authored the book and whose character is played by Philippe, said that though he wasn’t sunning himself on French beaches, he was happy the film was being promoted in France. “The film is in its final [post-] production stage where the directors are editing and putting the final touches to it,” he said. Filming was wrapped up earlier this month. The f

Akon meets SA's President Jacob Zuma

Image
I am starting to feel like our president Jacob Zuma is going to be the next Madiba, I mean there was Akon, yes Akon from the hit Lonely,wanting to meet the man just to welcome him as a president. READ my story from The Times : R&B singer Akon was granted his wish to meet President Jacob Zuma yesterday. “It’s a pity that he couldn’t teach me any singing because I can sing on my own,” joked Zuma, who is known for his rendition of Umshini Wami. The Senegalese-born singer arrived from the US on Wednesday to launch his clothing label here. When he expressed a desire to meet South Africa’s No1 citizen, Zuma’s spokesman, Zizi Kodwa, arranged the brief get-together. Akon said Zuma was one of the reasons he had come to South Africa: “I want to meet him to [formally introduce myself] as an African artist with the same voice that he has.” He said he would encourage other singers to visit South Africa. Yesterday, Akon arrived at Zuma’s home in Forest Town in a black BMW X5 with an entourage o

Should we question Tbo Touch's relationship with Akon?

So I haven't blogged in Yonkes but I have some great gossip to put you in the know. You know the saying, "Your lies will always catch up with you"? Well it was Tbo Touch's day last week when Akon his big buddy was here to promote his new album and shoot a video for his song " We dont Care ". In a press conference that took place at the Melrose Arch Hotel last week Wednesday evening at 6pm where Akon was residing while on his visit and for some strange reason Sowetan entertainment journalist Edward Tsumela, was interested in clearing out the relationship between these two men and find out just how much of it was the truth . As you all know Tbo Touch always speaks about Akon as his buddy for years and that they go way back before he became famous and how he was going to be the one who brings the Konvict clothing over to SA. He also happened to twitter the day (Tuesday) before that he was out at "Cartier in Sandton City shopping for diamonds with Akon.&q

OMG is this juicy or what. First time ever I witness a riches to rags story happen infront of my eyes. So it turns out that while socialite Khanyi Mbau is boasting about wearing 8 dresses to the SAMAs, rumours filled the air of her and her supposed millionaire hubby, hitting the broke note. I am sure you read about their luxurios matching shocking yellow Lamborghinis being behind on instalments. And now rumour has it that they no longer have access to their fab life in the penthouse. But instead have downgraded to Formula One. Yeh, that Formula One that you always spot near long distance bus terminals nationwide. That is where they are supposedly living. Can you imagine that pouted faced chick in a Formula One, OMG that is freaken hilarious. READ this from Sunday World : Everyone loves a rags-to-riches tale – but a riches-to-rags drama is even juicier skinner fodder. Self-proclaimed millionaire Mandla Mthembu and his flamboyant actress-wife Khanyi Mbau might find themselves homeless. T

Oprah gets a free degree, just great ne!

You know to earn your way in life you spend time in school for 12 years then perhaps another 3 in tertiary, then only you an get a degree and get on with your studied career. Not if you are Oprah, you just get the degree handed to for mahala (free). All you have to do is chat to everyone about their business and troubles lives, then you get invited to a graduation as a speaker the voila, you score yourself a degree. What a fab life she is living. READ this from eonline : That's what the 2009 graduating class of Duke University must have been thinking when Oprah Winfrey arrived at the ceremony to give a commencement address, as well as collect an honorary doctorate degree. One possible reason for her appearance? Oprah's godson, and BFF Gayle King 's son, William Bumpus , was among the 4,440 Duke graduates. Not that he is quick to brag about his Winfrey connection. Joked the Harpo big-wig, "Will never wants people to know he knows me. I'm like his crazy

Heidi Klum and Seal are expecting a baby girl

Image
All is sweet and rosy in the Heal (top model Heidi Klum and singer Seal) paradise as the couple are now expecting a baby girl after having two boys and Klum having a girl from a previous relationship, so this will be their first baby girl together. This was all revealed by the chuffed couple that has just renewed their vows as they celebrated their four year anniversary wedding with a trailer trash-themed party. READ this from Fametastic : Heidi Klum ’s husband Seal has revealed that their fourth child will be another girl.

Seal told The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday that Heidi had given him permission to make the announcement this time - because she’s telling everyone too: “She can’t keep a secret.” Last month, Heidi revealed they were hoping it’d be

Nick Cannon wants to beat up Eminem

Image
Reading Nick Cannon's blog entry which is now deleted about wanting to make Eminem pay for dissing his wife Miriah Carey, was hilarious. But to be honest Eminem gets away with loads of kaak and for the disappearing act he pulled for all these years to come back and be on the same dissing people tip, was totally whack. Marshall, don't you have a new angle somewhere up your sleeve? Cause this dissing mission is so nauseating. This is what Eminem says in his song: “Don’t put out? I’ll put you out… Am I too nice? Buy you ice. Bitch if you died, wouldn ’t buy you life. What you tryin to be, my new wife? What you Mariah ? fly through twice. But I do know one thing though. Bitches they come, they go.” Then Miriah Carey denies ever getting it on with Mr Marshall: Mariah denies ever having a sexual relationship with Eminem and said in a 2003 Maxim interview, “I hung out with [ Eminem ] a few times, but nothing sexual occurred.” Her song “ Clown ” on the album “Charm Bracelet”

Poker face singer Lady Gaga and Akon will be in SA for one night only

Image
Dont say I didn't tell you, cause Lady Gaga who is famous for her track Poker face, along with Senegalese singer Akon from Konvict clothing will be in South Africa for one night only peeps. I dont know what the cost is to get in at Inc that night will be but all I know is that they wont be performing. They are here just to party it up as they on their way to Angola to perform the very next day. Personally I wont be heading in that direction for Akon but rather for Lady Gaga because last time he was here, he ticked me off with his American egotistic attitude that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Remember how he shun his home flag from some dudes that were trying to give it to him? Remember how he also said he as not going to give the press interviews because he doesn't feel like making small talk with people he doesn't know? Then he went on stage and refused to be play nice when people threw their goodies at him? And then he had the nerve to compare South Africa's aparth

Whose the better mommy in Hollywood?

Image
If you were asked which celeb in the world you would want to babysit your kids for a day what would you say? I am sorry but I dont know if anyone is fit to look after my future kids, maybe Michelle Obama, she always seems t have her babies in order. But oprah never, she seems most irresponsible than any Hollywood folk I know. Remember how she compared her dogs to having a baby/ies? I mean really next thing I know my baby will be all over the screens and she will express just how babies can be a handful just like dogs. So ParentDish.com has a survey where they asked 10 000 moms the same question and here is what they had to say. READ THIS from ParentDish.com : Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her actress partner Portia de Rossi — who have no children — topped a ParentDish.com poll of more than 10,000 moms that asked which star they would feel most comfortable leaving their kids with. They nabbed 31 percent of votes, while the single Jennifer Aniston came in second with 22 percent. A

You heard it here first: Jason Hartman and Sasha Lee will is the winner of Idols

Image
OMG OMG WTF, was all I was thinking when I heard that Jason Hartman who was announced 2nd in Idols after Sasha-Lee was the winner last Sunday they now will share the winner title of Idols. After much counting and deliberation from a technical glitch that saw over thousands of smses and phone in votes being recounted and tallied, they were both announced winners at around 1noon todat at M-Net. Jason got 1,3 miillion votes beating Sasha-Lee who had 1,1million votes, meaning that technically Jason is the winner. I feel so bad for poor Sasha-Lee, because now its known that she was the 2nd runner up and Jason as the winner. But then I also feel pity forJason that he never got all the publicity that she got last week Sunday. Oh well, I know there wont be an Idols competition for years now,until all this bowls over and settles in many of the voters minds.

So if you have not heard about Idols then you have not been catching up with The Times. So Sunday you might know that Sasha-Lee Davids was announced the winner for season five , but after a mess up by Vodacom , MTN and Cell C, Davids could be loosing the prizes and the title to runner up Jason Hartman. Basically what happened is that, when people voting on Sunday there was a problem with a ll the communication servers as some votes did not get through to the counting of votes, even people that cast their votes between 18h00-18h30, had a problem. So after several complaint from people saying that they could not vote between that time via phone-ins or sms , M-Net has had to recount their votes because of that.
