Lately it seems that South Africa is getting a lot of international attention. Caster Semenya, Winston the homing pigeon, and District 9…

It started off with Caster Semenya’s gender conspiracy. As most of us know by now the majority of opinions now believe that “she” is a hermaphrodite… I don’t have much on an opinion about whether or not a person like this should be allowed to compete. Yes, I guess it is not fair toward female competitors, but keep in mind that this is still a person – who did not ASK to be born this way. I think we should just try to keep this in mind, and search for the little bit of humaneness which still remains in us today. Read more @ The Guardian

Winston the homing pigeon got a short 2nd place (in my books in any case), where he beat the speed of Telkom’s ADSL… (No surprise here ) By the time that Winston had delivered the data card & the data had been downloaded, the Telkom download had progressed a mere 4%!! Aargh, South Africans cannot WAIT for a better connection!! Read more @ Daily Mail

And then lastly, but not least; District 9 – the very popular movie which was shot in South Africa, with a South African director, but which was also shown in the States. I’ve heard very good reviews about this, alas, I haven’t watched it myself. I’ll be sure to write a short review as soon as I have seen it! Read more @ District 9 – ABC News

After hearing about the death of DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) on Friday, I realized again the danger of drugs.

He spoke openly about his drug problems, but also said that he’d been clean for years. Though there will always be some controversy surrounding that, I think its completely believable. Once you’ve been an addict, it will always be a weakness for you, and as soon as live starts pressing down on you, that’s going to be your first place to run to.

Now, I don’t know the facts around this man’s life, but I can imagine that living such a high profile life can have its stretching times, and the only constant in this man’s life was most probably not his friends & family but rather the substances which never rejected him.

Sad to see someone climb the ladder of “success” (as they see it), only to watch them plummet down when hardship strikes. Such a pity though.

All of a sudden it has taken the radio & tv stations by storm.  Its in the newspaper, people talk about it, and I’ve even received jokes about it less that 24hrs after he was reported dead.  Its all everyone can think of.  Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson!!!  Some people have even been fooled into thinking that he may still be alive, but thank you for clearing that up for us Hannah Lowen.  But honestly, I don’t care.  Jackson fever seems to be spreading faster than swine flu, and its effects are definitely worse.  People are behaving like complete morons!!!

I think its completely absurd, and maybe even a bit retarded that people are now, all of a sudden, idolizing this man, who they were ripping apart a few months back, because he’s claimed to be a child molester.

Because I didn’t know him personally, I cannot claim to be sure of any of this, neither can I say that he was an amazing person.  In my eyes, he was just another guy… Another person trying to make their way through life, wanting to be appreciated & loved.  Just a pity that he probably never experienced either of those.

I heard the most bizarre thing on the news last night – Demi Moore detoxifying herself with leeches. Disgusting, but when I found the article on the internet this morning, it was even worse than what was said last night:

Demi Moore covers herself in blood-sucking leeches to keep her skin looking fresh.

The actress – who, at 45, is 15 years older than husband Ashton Kutcher – is a huge fan of a detox treatment which involves the unpleasant creatures being placed on her body.

She said: “I feel like I’ve always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimise your health and healing.

“I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy.

“These aren’t just swamp leeches though – we are talking about highly trained medical leeches. These are not some low level scavengers – we’re talking high level blood suckers.” (LOL – WTH?)

Demi says she now feels very relaxed and refreshed after her treatments but admits it was quite unnerving to begin with.

She added to US talk show host David Letterman: “It detoxifies your blood – I’m feeling very detoxified right now. I did it in some woman’s house lying on her bed. We did a little sampler first, which is in the belly button.

“It crawls in and you feel it bite down on you and you want to go, ‘You b*****d.’ Then you relax and work on your Lamaze breathing just to kind of relax.

“You watch it swell up on your blood, watching it get fatter and fatter – then when it’s super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar.“ … Again, I can just say WTH…

Most celebrities are weird, but this is the cherry on the cake. I can’t believe how dumb people can make themselves look – reminds me of the emperor’s clothes for some reason. As long as everyone thinks Demi’s using the latest detox treatment she’s happy, meantime everyone’s laughing behind her back.

James Blunt sold his sister on eBay.

The “You’re Beautiful” singer was so addicted to the Internet auction site he sold his sibling – and she is now engaged to the winning bidder.

James said in an interview with GQ magazine: “The stupidest thing I’ve ever sold is my sister, on eBay.

“I was waiting for my first album to come out and ended up selling pretty much everything I owned on eBay. I had a mild addiction.

“Anyway, I came back to the flat where my sister was staying and she was crying because she couldn’t get to a funeral in Ireland.
Click here!

“The planes were on strike, the ferry was out of season and there were no trains. I ended up whacking it on eBay, ‘Damsel in distress seeks knight in shining armour!
Desperate to get to a funeral in Southern Ireland, please help!’

“The bids flooded in and the guy who won had a helicopter. He flew her to the funeral.

“That was three years ago, this summer they’re getting married!”

I suspect Natasha Bedingfield is partially responsible for the break up of Anna & Enrique.

Why, you might ask?

Well. The cute couple were going strong for nearly 5 years when suddenly Anna caught onto the new catchy Natasha Bedingfield tune “I wanna have your baby”, and guess what? Enrique didn’t return the compliment! Instead he dumped her. Or she him. Who knows. The reason being that Anna wanted to start a family, and Enrique, well… He was just not ready?

I feel for him, but hey, if you’re dating Anna Kournikova, and she wants to have your baby, you’re pretty stupid to refuse! But I suppose he is Enrique Iglesias after all…

Sarah Tancredi & Michael Scofield. These were the two people who have intrigued me into watching Prison Break – the two sweethearts meant to end up together. Or are they?

Both so beautiful…

But to get to the point, Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield) is one hell of an actor. Without Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) Prison Break wouldn’t have turned out the huge success as it has.

His good looks plus awesome talent scores pretty high with just about all the girls I know. I have two episodes left to watch (of the second season), and I’m hoping so hard that Michael Scofield and Sarah Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) will end up together in Panama, and live “Happily Ever After”.

If you haven’t watched Prison Break yet – buy yourself the DVD’s and start a.s.a.p. – be warned though, its ADDICTIVE!

If ever I have a secret crush, it would definitely be on Wentworth Miller.

This morning I heard over the radio that William & Kate broke up??

Awe… And they were such a cute couple! I will leave them be, and not discuss the reasons of the break up, those that make the media are probably untrue in any case. I would never wish for anyone to go through the heartache of a break up and hope that, if at all possible, they’d be able to sort things out. Can you just imagine the extra heartache of having everyone (all over the world) sticking their noses into your life? Commenting on who did what and why and…. It would just FREAK me OUT!

Whatever the future holds, best to both of these beautiful people.

Something else I found rather strange this morning is that one of the search keys which led to my blog was “Kate Middleton Pee” —- WTH??? How sick are people to google for THAT??? And how sick is it that my site pops up for that search? LOL – really bizarre!
