TV presenter and actress Lerato Kganyago, shares her festive season plans with us…

“Xmas I will be spending with my family, unless I meet a new man.” 

 

1. With the holidays coming up, what would your dream destination be? And why?

Bora Bora (the French island on the Pacific Ocean)

 

2. What is the best meal you ever had on a vacation?

None. Or maybe the Duck I had when I was in Bangkok.

 

3. What is your favourite activity to do on vacation?

Shopping, maybe a bit of sight-seeing. I am not really crazy about sight-seeing. It depends on the country. If it’s a historic country like Cairo or Thailand, that’s more interesting, otherwise it’s just shopping.

 

4. What was the last country you visited?

Two months ago I went to Paris to attend Jay Z and Beyonce’s  concert.

 

5. Where are you heading this December?

Might go to Bora Bora in January. Looks like a nice getaway.

 

6. What is the biggest lesson to you have learnt in 2014?

Running your grace, be patience. Do everything with passion, especially things you love.

 

7. Given this lesson, what is the best advice you could yourself for 2015?

Never give up. Work hard but don’t be so hard on yourself. You human.

 

8. What is your resolution for 2015?

I don’t believe in resolutions. So there is none for me.

 

9. What is your favourite Christmas treat?

I am like any other black person. It’s gonna be custard and jelly. I don’t believe in fruitcake and all that other disgusting stuff.

 

10. Where will you be spending your Christmas and with who?

Wouldn’t you like to know that. None of your business. (laughs). I will be spending it with family, unless I get a new man. Then you know I am gonna spend it with him.

 

11. How long is your wish list and name first two?

A pair of Roberto Cavallis and a Black G class Mercedes Benz. So if there is a guy who wants to buy me the car, hello, pleased to meet you.


SOMETHING’S COOKING

We already know Mi Casa’s J’Something can sing. Turns out this man knows his way around a kitchen, too. Proving that his amazing foodstagrams are more than just for fun, Joao da Fonseca is inviting everyone to tag along on his cooking show as he discovers new ingredients and cooking styles, while letting us in on his tried-and-trusted faves. J tells Grazia about where this love of food first began, whether it’ll inspire music and why toasted sarmies will always be ‘boss’

food-990x420

Has cooking always been a passion? What was the spark?

Always. I grew up watching my mom run a restaurant. I always thought serving food was a schlep, but to her it’s a gift to serve people and see their reaction when they taste her creations. Cooking just became a lot more fun when I started making more time for it.

 

So how did Something’s Cooking first begin?

About two years ago I posted the first picture of a dish I cooked using the hashtag #somethingscooking. I wanted an escape from music. That happened to be food. The more I posted, the more “likes” I started getting, and the more people started saying that I should create a cookbook or present a cooking show.

 

What have you enjoyed most about filming the show? Did expectation meet reality?

It was as if we were all family. I didn’t want to be put under pressure in front of everyone, so prior to shooting we all met up a hundred times. I cooked for them. I laughed with them. We shared memories together. I would say the reality was much better than the expectation.

 

We all know that food trends come and go. What is the most underrated food in your opinion?

Toasted sandwiches. We grew up viewing them as just toasties. But, for me, a grilled sandwich is such an amazing meal. Wait until you see the grilled sandwiches I make…

 

Somethings-Cooking

How do you balance having a love of food with keeping the kilos off?

To be honest I’ve been training hard. I run about 45km a week, go to gym twice a week and play football once a week. I perform a couple of times a week too. I also eat clean. That’s the best thing about cooking for yourself – you can make everything and anything, from scallops, prawns and chouriço to pasta and pizza. You can eat all of these things too, but you have to remember portion sizes.

 

Do you ever cook for your bandmates?

All the time. I make them a really tasty and comforting chilli con carne. They love it. Also, for Duda (Mi Casa’s producer), he loves a good mixed grill.

 

Have you EVER been inspired by food in your songWriting FOR mI cASA?

Not yet. But I’m sure it’s coming soon.

 

Don’t miss Something’s Cooking, every Wednesday at 7pm on Mzansi Magic.

 

KARDASHIAN DIRTY SECRETS

The Kardashians were forced to face another media storm after some of their darkest secrets were revealed last week. From Khloé’s alleged addiction to painkillers to Kourtney’s baby plan backfiring and Kim’s latest love triangle – the revelations are astonishing

 

There’s never a shortage of scandal when it comes to the Kardashians, but we think it’s safe to say that this past week has been one of the family’s worst ever, as almost every member has been caught up in their own personal hell.

10468432_723976904342504_3103524377029154507_o

Khloé’s Real-Life Nightmare

Of the whole clan, 30-year-old Khloé got the short end of the stick. Not only has she admitted that she’s never felt like she’s fitted into her family, but her love life seems more out of the pages of a horror story than a fairytale.

While the leggy beauty has long had to face rumours that the late Robert Kardashian isn’t her biological father, although her mom Kris Jenner has always denied this, insiders revealed last week that her real dad could be Lionel Richie.

The source pointed out the striking resemblance between Khloé and the crooner’s 16-year-old daughter Sofia, with the two looking like mirror images of one another. They also alleged that Kris and Lionel had a fling in the early 80s, while Kris was still married to Robert.

“They had a sexual affair – he bragged about it,” said a friend close to Lionel. “He said he was on the outs with his wife at the time. Everyone was sleeping around with everyone else back then, and Kris was hot in those days.”

While Khloé released an official statement saying, “I’ve had so many dads my head is spinning,” she didn’t downright deny it.

And along with yet another paternity rumour, the reality star is having a tough time dealing with her failed love life following her split from French Montana.

“Now that the relationship is over, she feels fat, ugly and alone,” said an insider. “She’s got her divorce from Lamar [Odom] still looming over her head and is still reconsidering whether she wants to be with him.”

Apparently, in a bid to zone out from all the drama, Khloé is relying heavily on painkillers and antidepressants. “It’s the only way she knows to cope with the pain.”

Sadly, poor Khloé can’t even rely on her famous sisters for a shoulder to cry on, as they too are fighting their own personal battles.

 

Kourtney’s Wedding Dream Crushed

As Grazia previously reported, Scott Disick was less than enthusiastic when he found out that he was to become a dad for the third time. He blasted Kourtney when she broke the news, telling her, “You keep suckering me into all these kids.” And now it seems he was onto something.

Those close to the couple revealed that Kourtney fell pregnant in a desperate effort to get Scott to finally settle down with her, believing that a third child would make him commit to her once and for all.

However, since she announced she was pregnant, Scott has gone out of his way to act out, partying harder than ever while Kourt is stuck looking after their two children, Penelope and Mason.

Just last week, Lord Disick was photographed getting close to various dancers while at a club in Las Vegas, further fuelling rumours that he regularly cheats on Kourtney.

Onlookers say he was wasted and acting inappropriately by groping various women and making them sit on his lap.

“He partied until just before 3am,” said an eyewitness. “When they left, three girls from the club left with them. Apparently they were all going back to Scott’s hotel room.”

As Kourtney’s baby plan backfires, those close to her are saying she’s finally reached her wits’ end. “She’s terrified she’s going to end up a single mother,” said a source close to the couple. “That’s why she’s put up with Scott for so long. But now, Kourtney realises she’ll never be able to tame him and is wondering if she’s going to raise her three children alone or live in a loveless relationship.”

 

Kim’s Jealous Rage

According to reports, Kim has been hit by a bout of jealousy regarding the women in her husband’s life.

“Kim has told Kanye that she trusts him, but doesn’t trust the other women,” said a source. “Kim’s paranoia is at an all-time high right now.” But maybe Kim has a reason to be a little worried.

Kanye’s ex, Amber Rose – who recently broke up with hubby Wiz Khalifa – recently posted a picture on Twitter eerily similar to Kim’s notorious white costume selfie. Those close to Amber say it was a warning to Kim, as she’s keen on once again making a play for Kanye.

“When Kim saw the pic she told Kanye that he will pay dearly if he contacts his ex,” said a close friend. And Amber isn’t the only one Kim’s warned Kanye about.

“Kanye wants to work with Rita Ora, but Kim had to put her foot down,” the source continued. “She thinks Rita is so desperate for fame that she wouldn’t hesitate to sleep with Kanye if it helped her career. She’s heard all the rumours about Rita sleeping with Jay Z.”

 

Kylie: A Mom At 17?

Kylie Jenner, 17, and rapper Tyga (real name: Michael Nguyen-Stevenson), 24, have been friends for ages, but since they took their relationship to the next level, things have escalated quickly, with Kylie declaring that Tyga is “the one”.

“Kylie has always had a crush on Tyga. She’s already telling friends she wants to marry him,” said an insider.

However, there is one woman coming in the way: Tyga’s former flame (and Kim’s ex-BFF), Blac Chyna.

While the pair ended their engagement in August, they share a two-year-old son, King Cairo Stevenson. And Blac isn’t happy about the union. “She’s sending a big message to Kylie. She doesn’t want Tyga and her becoming serious, and she definitely doesn’t want her acting like a stepmom in front of their son.”

 

Bruce dating Kris’ BFF

Ouch! After allegedly being badly treated throughout their 23-year union, it seems Bruce Jenner has got his own back on his ex.

The reality star is dating Ronda Kamihira – Kris’ long-time confidante. “Kris is devastated,” said a source. “This was her best friend of 20 years.”

Bruce first raised eyebrows when he stepped out with Ronda at Elton John’s LA concert earlier this month. Apparently, the pair hadn’t yet told Kris that they were an item, and when she saw the photos of them together, she flipped. Kris sees their relationship as the ultimate betrayal, especially considering that she’s been in their lives for over two decades.

The eye-care pandemic affects more than half a billion people whose sight could be restored with a simple optical exam and a pair of glasses. The money raised from the sale of the CD will go towards our annual Vision Clinics hosted in South Africa”.

 

Since 1988 OneSight has pioneered the belief that sight is a basic human right and all people deserve access to quality vision care. Over the last 25 years OneSight has helped 8.4 million people in 40 countries receive proper vision care.

  • Gateway Drugs
  • Das Kapital
  • The Plastics
  • Beach Party
  • Shortstraw

  • Al Bairre
  • Beatenberg

SA personalities Pearl Modiade and Thando Thabete share their festive season plans with us…

Pearl:

The best thing about Christmas is firstly, the excitement of being surrounded by my loved ones. Everything just glistens around Christmas time and seeing all the lights automatically puts me in a great festive mood. It’s also a time for me to look back at the year that was, count my blessings and reflect on the lessons learnt.  My 2015 New Years resolutions include putting my best foot forward in all that I decide to involve myself in, whether it be professional or personal. It’s to be a better version of myself than I was the previous year. As much as I want to accomplish growth professionally, I also plan to strengthen my personal relationships, grow spiritually, make a difference in people’s lives and to be present in every moment.

Thando:

 Thando

 

My favourite thing about christmas has to be the spirit of giving, I love receiving gifts and the look on peoples faces when they receive gifts from me. I always spend my christmas with family, we usually start off the morning cooking up a feast, and spend the rest of the day enjoying the food and the quality time with family I may not have been able to see so often in the year.  2015 will be the biggest year for Thando yet. Im looking to further establish myself as a radio presenter and earn respect as an actress.

OUR FAVE SUMMER TRACKS

Sun’s out, fun’s out. Or, at least, we think that’s how the saying goes… Whatever your excuse, you’re going to need a killer soundtrack for the holiday season. And we’ve got you sorted with 10 of our current faves. You’re welcome.

 

Petite Noir, Chess

Yannick Illunga has made the move from SA to the UK, and his world domination is imminent, if this single from is upcoming EP, The King Of Anxiety, is any indication. Post-punk meets electronica meets our happy ears.

 

Taylor Swift, Blank Space

There’s a reason why she’s the only artist to have gone platinum this year. Miss Swift makes incredibly catchy pop songs that get stuck in your head for days. Exhibit A: her slightly obsessive ode to new love. She’s not really singing about lonely Starbucks lovers, but that’s okay.

 

Taylor Swift

 

Charlie XCX, Gold Coins

Glitchy, synth-filled beats and Charlie’s sultry vocals combine to form the ultimate ear worm. Wind the window down, turn this up and head to the beach or rooftop party nearest you. This is best paired with an umbrella-and-tropical fruit-filled beverage on arrival.

 

FKA Twigs, Pendulum

R-Patz’s other half has pretty much been on a constant rotation on our playlists this year. But this dreamy single from LP1, which Twigs confesses is her favourite too, is perfect for those times you need to chill.

 

FKA TWIGS_David-Burton

Beyonce, 7/11

A party anthem guaranteed to get everyone on the floor, Queen Bey’s first and only banger of the year was most definitely worth the wait. Red cups at the ready? Arms raised, start spinning!

 

Mark Ronson feat Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from mega producer Mark Ronson. Back with a bang and taking us right back to the old school, his first funk-filled single boasts vocals from none other than Bruno Mars. And we like.

mark ronson bruno mars

Marina And The Diamonds, Froot

Her spelling skills may be questionable, but her summer jam making ability is not. A little bit 80s 8 bit synth, a little bit 90s electronica, Marina’s latest single signals good things to come from the Brit pop princess.

 

The Kiffness feat Shortstraw, Find A Way

You’re bound to run into Cape Town’s fun-loving electronica duo and Joburg’s equally fun-loving indie rockers, Shortstraw, somewhere along the coast this summer on tour. Together, they’ve made musical magic together with this track.

The Kiffness_2

 

Gwen Stefani, Spark The Fire

Our official Queen of Pop is back. Better than that, she’s reteamed with her good buddy, Pharrell Williams, for this catchy-as-hell girl power anthem. One that will have you singing along in no time.

 

Gwen Stefani

 

 

Azealia Banks, Chasing Time

It’s been a long time coming (three years, in fact), but one of rap’s most controversial stars has finally found her way out of the recording studio and into our ears with the release of her debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste. The first single is still the best.

THIRTEEN
Make friends with security – We have the markets friendliest staff and we are proud about it , they will take care of you if you are nice. You can trust those dudes.

TWELVE
Do not take a Glow Stick — they were never (and will never be) cool! Or big styled Sun glasses for that matter. (you will look like a human fly)

SEVEN
Take an empty plastic bag — it can have many uses! You can use it to sit on, wear it as a poncho if it rains, or erm… use it for emergencies if you get desperate!

Toilets — familiarize yourself with all the toilet locations when you first arrive. If you can, save some toilet paper at the start of the day so if there is a shortage later you’re all sorted!. As an extra precaution take a mini bottle of hand sanitizer or a travel pack of baby wipes. Sounds lame but you’ll thank us later.

ONE

BABY NUMBER 2 FOR BEY?

bey

The pregnancy rumours for Beyonce have been doing their rounds for the past year. Bey added more fuel to the pregnancy fire when she posted this snap on Instagram yesterday of herself in buried in the sand with what appears to be a baby bump for a stomach.

Beyonce, with a big smile on her face, included no caption to the pic leaving us all in eager limbo about whether or not Blue will soon be having a baby brother or sister.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Beyonce drops a bomb via Instagram regarding breaking news-she did it for her latest self-titled album as well as her latest music video 7/11.

This is all very Beyonce of Beyonce, but leaving us in limbo with such big news, in actual fact, is NOT very Beyonce of Beyonce.

2015 HOROSCOPE: TAURUS

taurus

Money & Career:

Diversify. This year you’re likely to turn entrepreneurial, with the possibility for a home-based business or a sideline to supplement your day job. For a sign supposedly stuck in its ways, you tend to crave variety and stimulation at work, so having a second incomedoing something you love could work out well. The small print? Avoid taking on massive loans, and pay your way as much as possible this year.

Mind & Body:

You’re at your best when you’re happiest. Who isn’t? But April gives you a necessary wakeup call to make your home a hub of health and activity, so that you reach a peak, physically and emotionally, byAugust through self-care, nourishing food and exercise that gives you pleasure. By September this will be second nature to you, and eclipses the same month could make you evangelical about your new lifestyle, so turning a passion for health into a money-making business is possible.

Love:

Your love life has been hampered by Saturn for the past two years, but now it’s time to remember what romance is. March and April bring a torrent of possibilities your way. Long-term love gets reignited, so if you’re hooked up, get tender, tactile and luxuriously indulgent with that special someone. And new love is yours for the asking if you’re currently solo. You’re tired of messing around, and after some on-again off-again scenarios mid-year, by September it’s a case of no-hopers, begone! It could even be time to put a ring on it.

Adventure:

You have a reputation for knowing what you like and liking what you know, but this year, be prepared to take more calculated risks. Let go of your emotional, physical, sexual and financial security blankets. Save for a reckless South American rainforest trip rather than for a rainy day. Your biggest adventure this year is to feel free of the burden of possessions and possessiveness. Now

H&M AND COACHELLA CLOTHING LINE COLLAB

This morning, news broke that one of our favourite brands, H&M, will be partnering with Coachella on a line of Boho-chic festival clothing under the label, H&M Loves Coachella! (We’ve always had serious FOMO for Coachella, but the FOMO is more real now than ever!).

This year marks the 6th consecutive year that H&M will serve as a sponsor for this massive music festival, but this will be the first time that this Swedish retail giant will be collaborating a collection with Coachella.

From what we see, the line is what festival fashion dreams are made of and is reportedly complete with tunics, cutoffs, crop tops and rompers in desert-friendly fabrics like fringe, lace and denim in their typical price range. The collection will launch on 19 March in North America and 26 March worldwide. Oh, and did we mention that there will also be a pop-up shop on the festive grounds?

With H&M reportedly set to launch in SA mid Feb, we are praying to the fashion gods that if we can’t be at Coachella dressed HTT (head-to-toe) in H&M, can we at least console ourselves with some serious H&M clothing?

t’s no secret that Kim Kardashian has always wanted her very own Vogue cover (that is, not sharing it with hubby Kanye West)  and she seems to have an amazing fairy godmother (momager Kris Jenner?) because what Kimmy wants, Kimmy gets.

Mrs. West has never been one to shy away when it comes to showing snaps for any of her shoots, but we must admit, she’s has outdone herself this time. Kim looks utterly fit and fabulous in her Instagram snaps from her latest shoot and her barely-there-make-up cover has even us starting up a slow-clap.

Money & Career:

Money is a fluid commodity for you. You use it for your needs and wants but may not always know where it’s gone at the end of the month. A slow transformation to rectify this is in progress, but it may take time tokick in. Work-wise, you identify strongly with your job, but this year let go of this intensity for the sake of your health and your progress up the career ladder. Restrictions you’ve experienced are lifting, and an eclipse in your career zone in March will put you on exactly the right road.

Mind & Body:

If you’ve been plagued by lack of energy and odd aches and snuffles for longer than you care to remember, that all fades away now. It’s the perfect year for a top-to-toe and internal transformation. Detox time! Clearing your body helps to clear your mind, and from August the same applies to your home. Declutter and surround yourself only with what you know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.

Love:

2015 is a big year for love. November is your best love month, but chances soar all year to meet someone special if single, or get engaged, move in or get married if already loved up. There’s definitely a more serious feel to relationships for you now as someone, and it could be you, seems set on making things official. You might have an indecisive wobble around July and August, but you also have a three-year window, starting now, for making the right long-lasting romantic decision.

Adventure:

Whatever your adventure of choice is in 2015, you can achieve it more powerfully by not going into it alone. Adventures now are linked to partnerships of all kinds – you provide the ideas, they provide the structure. Your biggest adventure this year is likely to be about deciding whom you truly want to be with and sticking to it. You can be fickle, always wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere, but this could be the year to truly commit.

GONE GIRL BACK AGAIN?

gg 2

Not only were we enthralled by every second (And word for all us bookworms out there) of Gone Girl, but we were left utterly craving more after THAT ending-we won’t ruin it for those of you who still have not seen or read it yet (insert shocked face).

So, naturally, you can imagine that we are thrilled at the prospect of a sequel which Gillian Flynn has confirmed that she has agreed to do!

“There could be a sequel at some point if everyone is game to get the gang back together—it could be really fun a few years from now,” Flynn told the New York Daily News. “We could pick it up and see what those crazy Dunnes are up to a few years down the road and if they got on—not well I don’t think.”

But there’s a condition: “I would have to have the exact same people to do it—I would want Rosamund, Ben, and Fincher,” she added.

Although Hollywood does love a good sequel, David Fincher isn’t known to give the nod in this direction-Alas! Only time will tell if there will be a Gone Girl 2 in the works or not, and we will still be here. Waiting. On the edge of our seats. In eager anticipation.
