Synopsis

Interviewing and hobnobbing with some of the entertainment industry's biggest stars, hosts Nonhle Thema (2007-2010) and Dineo Moeketsi (2011-2012) go on location in exotic destinations like New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Madrid, Miami and Jamaica in search of the hottest behind-the-scenes gossip.

The aim of the show is to "get under the skin of the entertainment world's biggest stars in a uniquely African way".

Stars inteviewed for the show include 50 Cent, Craig David, Rihanna, John Legend, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Nelly Furtado, TI, Ne-yo and Jamie Foxx.

During the location shoots the host keeps viewers up-to-date with their encounters in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other cities through the O-Boma Social Networking platform.

Nonhle left the show after four seasons prompting a nationwide presenter search in 2010, which was won by actress and singer Dineo Moeketsi. Dineo hosted the final two seasons.
