The word on the entertainment streets this week:

 So this week was very busy in terms of entertainment news from messy divorces, to shying away from speaking about a divorce well let us get into it...

1. Minnie Dlamini ( formerly Jones) and the divorce no one saw coming'

So this was something I honestly saw coming when the television special happened in 2017 but then when the years went by I had a change of mind. The reason for this was because they had a winning formula; she was a popular television personality and he was a wealthy businessman. This is a formula that should work and some other girls should follow it but then it all went to hell when the announcement was made the day on 15 February when Mrs. Dlamini - Jones announced that the last two years have not been easy for them. This was also evident on an Instagram post on their fourth anniversary that everything was not joyous in the Jones household and marriage was not easy, which is a fact we all tend to forget before saying 'yes' to the proposal.

The official statement stated that the two will remain on good terms and have the best interests of the son that they share. I honestly wish them both happiness at this point as it is wise to know when to leave the party.

2. Wendy Williams mental health in question

This story shocked me to the core when I first read about it because I honestly thought the girl would be making her return to the screen very soon. I was honestly getting tired of the constant roll-out of mediocre stand-ins on her show. It has emerged that the media queen might be placed under guardianship which I honestly pray does not happen as we saw the consequences of this with Britney. It was also revealed that she currently does not have access to her finances as her bank has denied her access to her funds despite the numerous affidavits that she has submitted.

This is eerily similar to the ordeal that Britney went through the only difference is that Wendy's situation is not being played out on the public stage. The bank in question has requested that Wendy should be placed under guardianship and claim that they have "the best interests of their clients in mind". I just hope and pray that should guardianship be necessary that it will be done through her parents. The official statement from Wendy's camp is that she is undergoing treatment for her graves disease. I hope the girl bounces back because I honestly am not here for her being replaced by Sherri Shepard.

3. The official judging panel for the new season of Idols.

I am suprisingly pleased to announce that Thembi Seete and JR will be joining Somizi on the judging panel of this coming season of Idols. The new addition of judges makes a lot of sense to me as they are individuals who are seasoned in the entertainment industry. I do hope the ratings pick up.

Since we are on the topic of Somizi, during the official Idols press conference a question was directed to him regarding his divorce. The television personality gave the standard answer of 'my private life is private blah blah. The only comment I can make on his response is that the moment he invited us into his relationship through that reality show it became our business. I honestly wish him all the happiness and this was a lesson that he had to learn.

Until next week xoxo.....

Roundup: ‘Blood Legacy’

The latest release from Gambit Productions ‘Blood Legacy’ has just rightfully earned its spot on the list of the productions that have set the bar amongst this year’s releases with its stellar cast and quality production aesthetic that has had South Africa buzzing with excitement. You know those goosebumps you feel after watching a trailer for an upcoming Netflix or Showmax release, that is what I felt after I watched the trailer for Blood Legacy for the first time. The show which is set in Durban lived up to the standards that were set by the trailer. A great cast is the key ingredient The first aspect of the show that grabs your attention when you watch the first episode is the amazing casting. The combination of the legendary, veteran and the up-and-coming actors that we are lucky to have here in South Africa can be found on the show.   The legendary would be the late Connie Chiume and Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, the veterans would be Xolile Tshabalala, Pallance Dladla, Enhle...

Roundup: 2020 SAFTAs

We might be living in a time where unfortunately we cannot gather in public spaces but as they say in show business the show must go on. This is what happened last night as the National Film and Video foundation with the guidance of the Department of Arts & Culture, held a virtual award ceremony which was hosted by the talented Dineo Ranaka. I must say I was rather not pleased with the delayed start, but this can be excused as we have never had to host an awards show in such a manner. The biggest winner of the night was Knuckle City in terms of the awards related to the motion picture category. The feature film is centered around the relationship between a boxer and his deviant brother as they take one more shot at the big time. The night's other big winner was The River which is produced by Tshedza Pictures. The popular telenovela took home 10 awards ,whilst its sister show The Republic took a whopping seven awards which include the coveted Best TV Drama gong. The Ri...
