SORRY MAAN SISI, EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

First things first, Cam gal, we are sorry about your split with the kid that's nine years your junior. Whathisname again, is it Justin? Yeah, that guy! It was about time babe, at least you had some fun, right? This is really bad for them wanna-be-craddle snatchers coz you know you, Eva & Demi were kinda giving hope and putting the stamp on the "age ain't nuttin but a number" ish so now that it's over, gal, leave the brother alone and start looking for a "man".
Like Thato said, she does seem very old now all of a sudden. Eish!
And while we are on the subject of craddle snatchers, what is this foolish nonsense I hear about mama Whitney and Brandy's baby brother, Ray J being a couple? I seriously hope this is all just pure BS.
COMING BACK HOME....
MZANSI RIDEZ WHAT????
Just wanna send a quick shout out to my favourite music channel and tell them that their new show Mzanzi Ridez SUCKS!!!
The Promo's are whack! They make me not want to watch the show coz they're so dull plus that gal, Sakia Falken just kills the excitement for me. In case you guys (Channel O) did not know, Ready D is a DJ, not presenter. You should have just gotten Proverb to do the damn thing. I still got too much love for you though but damn, this is nonsense right here!
The jury is still out on O Zone....
AND THE AWARD FOR "HORROR OF THE YEAR" GOES TO....
So Saturday morning, I tortured my fine self by watching a full episode of this horror in the hope of seeing the much talked about Howza (Chase) and I didn't spot him. I know I said my crush on him was not enough to make me tune in but I did and yes, I regret it!
Instead of seeing the man, I was harrased by images of Ipeleng's wig, umkhaba ka Victor (former Sphiwe in Generations) & a horrific love scene between Sgolwane and the new gal, whose name I have no time looking up.
If I have a show on TV and it's not doing well, I would add some hott talent to spice things up, not just anyone so I really fail to understand why that gal has just been added to an already boring cast?? If her scenes with Sgolwane are anything to go by then I really don't see the purpose of it all!!!
I don't care how serious Mandla Hlatshwayo looks on the show or how neat his hair is but to me he will always be the tired/boring Sphiwe in Generations and I have trouble erasing those horrible images from my head. Maybe in a year or so...
Not being one to give up easily, I watched Backstage again yesterday to see if I would spot "Chase" by any chance and luckily he did pitch and I was pleasantly surprised at the bit of his acting that I saw. I must admit, the part that killed me was when he turned his back on the camera and we got to see his cute behind.....*sigh*...ok, he was fully clothed but still....
Cute as his behind may be, there is no way in hell I'm tuning in again to catch that madness coz damn I prefer soapies to horrors and hell will freeze over before Backstage becomes the real entertaining soapie that it once was back in the days of Tendai etc etc. What? It can? I dare you to turn it around!! (wink wink)
Extra Backstage... Oh! and while we are on the Backstage topic, I just wanna clarify that I ain't got beef with them just coz they wouldn't allow me to have a drink at Duke's. Ok, let me explain. When I first got to Jozi, when Backstage moved to Jozi years ago I had all these dreams etc etc and ended up at some casting agency. One day we were called to go to Backstage as extras in scenes shot at Dukes so obviously yo gal was just happy to be going there and seeing peeps that were regarded as hot then. Safika daar and it was cool, and then we got dressed (we actually brought our best clothes ek se) and went in to "shoot" our scenes. I sat at a table with one guy and we were given the drinks, hot as they were and told to act like we're having a conversation. I then started chatting "softly' to my date while "sipping" my drink, as I always see it done on TV, but there was a "CUT" and my date and I were told not to actually make sounds but to"look" as if we are having a conversation. Tough being an actor but I figured I'd pull it off.
Minutes later, one guy, don't know what he does came to us and told me "We aren't finished shooting the scene yet but your drink is finished! Don't drink, act like you're drinking!". Then he stormed off and went to fill up the glass. I then thought hah noh, really this acting business is not for me! Lunch time came and we went to the dining area where they were serving the buffet lunch. The worst moment was here. When we were told we had to "wait for the "actors" to eat first before we could go and eat "was when I decided that being an extra was not something I wanted to do and I realized my lack of acting talent. I couldn't even pretend to be drinking from a glass!!! But at least I got the R200 in lieu of my humiliation!
Morale of the story? Know where your true talents lie...I know mine are certainly not in acting! Go padile!!!!
P.S If you are wondering if I did make it on TV for that scene, well, after having told everybody to watch me on the show, the only part of my anatomy that made it to the small screen was my ELBOW and it was very hard trying to convince everyone that it was actually my elbow!
It's not funny...I was really hurt.
YFM BREAKFAST NEEDS A WAKE UP CALL
Anyone who's taken the time to read my blogiwood will know that I love all things Local so naturally, I love YFM. For the music mostly and sometimes you do hear a bit of news about this and that so for that too.
More than YFM, I dig Thato a lot and damn, Pabi (Sistahood/Out of the Box) is a sweet gal and it pains me to say it out loud mara the truth of the matter is that Y'd Awake is not working guys...
You tried, gave it your best but it just ain't working and I cannot damn well listen to Azania (worse) so the only way is for me to kindly ask someone to tap Bondo and tell him to get off his chair and start giving us a breakfast show that does not actually make us wanna crawl right back into bed!.
My remedy?? Rudeboy Paul & Sanza!! Those boys would handle that slot like a mutha (as Fresh would say) and the only reason I ain't suggesting Chilli M is coz I'm so tired of hearing his "me this" "me that" stories, plus his jokes are never funny. (Love Dineo though!!)
So, I know you're thinking this Rudeboy thing has something to do with me and my "thing" for Xhosa men with dreadlocks right? No! Hayi sana urongo!!! The (very cute) brother is a damn good DJ and you only need to listen to Kamikaze 12:00 - 15:00, weekdays to hear it for yourself.
Plus I was ultra excited to hear that he's gonna be hosting Lilizela Mlilizeli on SABC 2, I will so be watching it!!! Ooh laa voice sana!! Now someone please be kind and pass the message on to Mr. Ntuli, I would appreciate it oh so dearly!!
What I would appreciate more is if someone took Trevor Noah and put him on Television for us to perve on.

Now with that smile. dimples, wouldn't that be the most popular show ever? Damn you can even put him on Backstage it that's what it takes, I'll watch!
Yo gal's out!! Now holla brownshuga@tvsa.co.za ....Ooh, I think I'ma be getting a lotta hate mail on this one...

| Very juicy Extra Backstage stuff Shugs. Extra actors are treated like this a lot, usually 'cos the actors have ego issues they need to get out on someone, hehe. Clearly the Backstage casting director doesn't have on clue what the stuff they're doing 'cos if they did they'd have snapped you up to be a lead to give the show the heatt it needs;) |

Girl i've never laughed my lungs out like this,eish girl,just do what you do best:WRITE
As for the Yfm wide awake bf show,since the Big Dawg lefr,I aint listening no more.The Pabi charactor is sweet and all but she aint cutting it on that slot man,so yee i'm all for Rude boy!!He guys,what's up with Unathi following her man Bad Boy T to Metro,apparantely she's joined the station,she will be co-hosting with Glen Lewis,and Paul; is leaving Metri fm for Yfm,while Metro management are in talks with Just Ice rejoin the station as the break fast show host and Azania will be shifted to 9h00-12h00,talk about a slap in the face!!!!
As for Y,me dont feel it any more..Me think Bondo need to start doing some managing,the station is such a mess and listenership is going down big time!!! |

Hey Shugs.. or should I say "current" heheeh (sorry bout that empty reply - gremlins)
I was Yfm's number 1 fan(ok everybody said that) back in da day with it started out. I mean..us Gautengelings had something to go home (GP) to. Until I moved to Cape Town 2 study in 2000, I was heartbroken. Im still in Cape Town & I hardly listen to Y when im home coz it lost its Vooma!! I dont even know their weekend line up & i dont even know half of the voices. Buuuutttt... as 4 Rudeboy.. I think he is Highly Under-rated, he's been with Y since day 1 & never got a big slot. I agree that he def' needs to be doing breakfast. Pabi (as young as she is) has reached her sellby date, coz we see & hear her eevveerryywwhheerree!! I love her, kodwa haai.. kulingene..
As for UnaT!! Yawn! I tuned in while driving to Limpopo... almost had an accident coz i fell asleep behind the wheel (ok im exaggerating). I dont know about her singing (live) too. Maybe she should try poetry!! haai angazi.
P.S: Rudeboy is not Xhosa girl, he's a Mnisi (a swazi boy). Why do u think he's cute like that, phela I speak for all swazi girls.. |

Glad I provided a few laughs ladies, thank you! Eish Lahvee, Rudeboy is not Xhosa?? Can we adopt him though? or better still, marry him?? Hee, Thanks for the info, I really didn't know unguMswazi. Now you call me Current?? It's not right but it's okay!!
YFM on Weekends is really horrible shame, I know. Phuthi (damn, the voice gal), Shabba (lame jokes), Dre (Oh hell to the naw!), Adil (not bad all the time, I like his personality), are unbearable and I only stand Mpho's show for the music but when she talks I change the station. Amon, on the other hand, is veeerrry good, so is Trevor Noah, I got to listen to him when he was standing in for Lee & Sanza..I love those two. I skeem Penny Lebyane should come back to Metro, she keeps it real. I was so happy when she was holding it down for Azania, I could actually listen to metro between 06:00 - 09:00, it was like a miracle!!!
I think Bondo's dilemma is a sad one coz how do you fire so many people all at once? I hope they all signed one year contracts so that he can review them now, otherwise he's in deep k*k. The most important show is breakfast so if he can't get that one right at least then it's gonna be trouble waya waya...get Rudi & Rasta to kick some breakfast ****sss!! |

| Penny is so underrated ...she's not the funniest or the smartest but at least she has way more energy than Azania and co. Pabi was never ready to do breakfast at Y , too much too soon and now they''ve ruined her career. Shame. That entire class of '99 at Y (Rudeboy,Fresh, Bad Boy) are a little tired to me, new faces/voices please abeg. I don't think I've ever watched an entire episode of Backstage/Scandal on ETV - just the promos alone tell you that you're not missing anything. As for our beloved Channel O , don't they know that nobody outside of the Flats understands that Cape accent. Aaargh. |

Yho! Bubbles tells it like it is! Penny is not the smartest? Ha ha ha. Scandal is not bad actually, the few times I've seen it were actually ok but not ok enough for me to watch it religiously. Immaculate, thanks for looking up da sista's name, eish have already forgotten what you said it is. The last time I saw Diopelo she was a lawyer in Muvhango, don't know if she's still there. |

Brown, you're not the only one who felt like this. I felt the same way when I went to 7de laan, they do the same thing, you wait for the actors to finish eating and then you eat, in Xhosa sithi utya izilabs. You wait to be called, when they come and tell you that the actors have finished eating, you can go. It made me feel like I'm less than nothing. BIG UP GENERATIONS, where you eat at the same time. They take your sandwiches to where the extra's room is. At least there, you are able to watch what they are doing on set, they treat you like a real human being. If I had a chance of going to Generations agin, I would. |
