Friends Bloopers

F.R.I.E.N.D.S - I will never tire of watching this show. I have seen all ten seasons. And repeats. If it's randomly on telly, I will watch, and giggle and smile and then dream of one day being part of such a cool series.

Here are some bloopers to make you snort

Tuesday Tune: Toya Delazy covers 'Use Somebody'

Well isn't this just fab: a cover of one of my favourite Kings of Leon tunes, by SA's new muso fantastico, recorded live on a Mother City rooftop :)

Toya Delazy, born Latoya Buthelezi in Kwa-Zulu Natal studied jazz music in Durban and then exploded onto the SA music scene with her debut single 'Pump It On' and follow-on single 'Love Is In The Air'. Here's her covering 'Use Somebody' on local morning show 'Expresso'.

Good New Show Alert!

The Newsroom has just started airing in SA, I'd heard a bit about the show but barely anything really - for example no one told me HOW INCREDIBLY GOOD it is! In one weekend I was able to turn my dad and the boy into uberfans, and the love is just spreading :)

As the name suggests the show is about the news and the ongoings of an office putting a news show together. Jeff Daniels is a.maz.ing as a famed anchor who has found a cushy and safe niche with his News Hour show until he gets a new executive producer and team who want to shake things up.

It's created by Aaron Sorkin, the brain behind 'The West Wing' and screenwriter of 'Moneyball' and 'The Social Network'. It's current, it's intriguing, it's thought stirring, it's debating invoking. Fab.

If you need some more convincing, here's the trailer:

Katryn Kruger

My darling Fashionista Blonde, Glitter&Garbage, has interviewed Mother City export Katryn Kruger. KK is schmodelling it up in the Big Apple these days and being generally fabulous.

Here is is with fellow SA supermodel, Candice Swanepoel:

Happy Monday Morning!

Morning stretches, and go!

Chippies

For most of last year I had to hear sports media man Howie Kahn go on and on about his man-dates with his favourite rugga buggers at some place called 'Chippies'. I never cracked an invite. Not once. Not even when I was being Howie's slave  intern earlier this year. And then Jambles made it back to Cape Town alive (believe me it is somewhat of a miracle), after various North and South American adventures  and joined me in funemplyment - when one has time for random lunches. I cracked nod to Chippies with Jambles. Cue massive excitement.

 Turns out this famed little place is right next to Bishops - how on earth had I never noticed it before?! Probably because there is not much to notice. No real decor, four tables, more of a takeaway vibe but good gracious me, if you like them prego rolls then you will love Chippies. 

You can also buy their prego sauce and attempt to make your own at home. Tis all quite wonderful really, and I now feel like I'm in on the guys' secret. I also took photos and embarrassed Jambles, which gave me about as much enjoyment as my fantastic chicken prego, double joy folks!

Thursday Thought: Dita

Being a big person...

Apologies for the lack of excitement posted, but this past week I've been up in Jozi working hard (as people there do). Spent a week shooting the new Cell C ad campaign, all hush hush but watch this space!

I flew back to Cape Town on Friday morning, and got met at the airport by Blue Eyes and our new PUPPY! I will now become one those people who rants about how gorgeous and perfect her dog is... but he. just. is. ok. He is cuddled up on my lap as I type...
