On Sunday night, a few hours after he’d taken to the ring and lost to Naak- MusiQ in their exhibition bout at Sun City’s Superbowl, Cassper Nyovest was pictured smiling from to ear to ear as he danced by his table at the official Celeb City after-party. In the video, he was sporting a pair of his signature Root of Fame 990 sneakers, a self-branded T-shirt with his face on it and drinking out of a bottle of his own liquor brand, Don Billiato. It was an outrageous flex that showcased his unparalleled level of business smarts and ownership. Despite having just taken a bruising loss in front of the entire country, the 31-year-old is winning big. The control he exerts over his own career – he owns his music,…
I doubt that even Netflix expected Is It Cake? to be such a hit. The premise, if you haven’t binged the TV series, involves professional bakers trying to fool judges by creating cakes that don’t look like dessert but instead appear to be everyday commodities – purses, toys, fast food and so on. But while most critics see this as just another iteration of mindless TV, I see Is It Cake? as deeply tied to a cultural moment in which deception – and learning how to recognise it – has become a part of everyday life. A show like Is It Cake? offers a safe way for viewers to test their capacity to spot a fake. This may seem like a stretch; cake and conspiracy are hardly the same thing.…
TRACEE Ellis Ross found the end of Black-ish “very emotional”. The former Girlfriends star – who has played Rainbow Johnson for eight seasons – says it was very teary as she filmed the end of the sitcom while appearing on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday.

It’s a hard thing to end when it becomes your world and your family and your life.” Tracee shared with Ellen that through the filming of the eighth and final season of Black-ish she was “aware” it was coming to an end throughout production. She admitted: “The whole season I knew it was the end, so I was very…
Eiza González rented an old ambulance to help her prepare for her role in Ambulance. The 32-year-old star portrays Los Angeles paramedic Cam Thompson in Michael Bay’s new movie – which sees her character kidnapped by adoptive sibling robbers (Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) – and she explained that she got used to the setting by renting a disused emergency vehicle. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Eiza said: “I rented a broken, old ambulance just to get adjusted and acquainted with my space. I wanted to take this role as seriously as I could, and the premise of the movie sets up Cam as being the best paramedic in town. So everything in that space, and the character’s physicality, had to feel like it was second nature. “In my…

WHILE there may still be the odd sunny day, there’s a definite chill in the air. A sure sign that autumn is setting in and winter is steadily approaching. With a change in season, we are forced to make a few changes to our wardrobe – bring out the boots and coats – as well as our skincare. As you change your beauty products to give your skin the extra help it needs during the harsh weather, you might want to consider changing how you use your perfume. Because your skin is obviously colder in winter, you cannot rely on your body heat to enhance and prolong the scent of your perfume. Perfume can be pricey, therefore you don’t want to have to reapply it all day. Here’s how…
