I FLEW to Johannesburg last week to experience The Ice Age Exhibition first-hand. Living and working in Cape Town I really don’t get up north often enough so this was a special occasion. And what a treat – our exhibition is magnificent! The woolly mammoth was my favourite of the animals and the aquarium was mesmerising. After being driven to the venue in a car with the heater on full blast I dashed into the blizzard tunnel. Wow, I could manage only a minute before I felt frozen so I can’t imagine being out in the wilds in those conditions. Next I set off for the ice slide – a little anxiously – and what an adrenaline rush! School holidays are here so if you don’t yet have your tickets,…

SHE’S in a foreign country. She’s lonely. A while ago her dad was ill and she might not have been able to take her kids along if she’d wanted to visit her family in Ireland, she claims, all because her estranged husband took their children’s passports away. That’s the picture Irish pop singer Morgan Deane has painted of her life as her divorce from ex-Proteas captain Graeme Smith triggers ever more explosive flareups between the former lovebirds. While their bitter break-up has been characterised by a number of sordid allegations – Morgan (32) accused Graeme (34) of cheating on her and letting her know he wanted a divorce via SMS – Morgan is now well and truly spitting fire. Last weekend she took to Twitter claiming Graeme hadn’t paid the…

NICOLE KIDMAN The Australian actress was 41 when she gave birth to her and husband Keith Urban’s first daughter, Sunday Rose, in 2008.

HALLE BERRY The Oscar-winning actress gave birth to her second child, Maceo, in 2013 when she was 47 and caused a stir when she called it “the biggest surprise of my life”, suggesting she’d conceived naturally.

I’VE ALWAYS been a fan of chef Nic van Wyk’s food – unpretentious and exquisitely presented. I recently visited his eatery, Bistro13, on Welmoed wine estate near Stellenbosch. I had green bean ragout, an old-school bredie (stew) now presented as slow-baked lamb with crispy onion rings – and was inspired to create these variations on family classics. < GREEN BEAN BREDIE WITH RACK OF LAMB SERVES 6 Preparation: 25 min Cooking: about 1½ hours RACK OF LAMB 1 rack of lamb (6 bones) salt and pepper 1 garlic clove, crushed 5 ml (1 t) mustard powder 125 ml (½ c) fresh breadcrumbs 125 ml (½ c) or more grated pecorino or mature Cheddar cheese handful of chopped chives or fresh parsley 2 onions, roughly chopped parsley and thyme sprigs 500…

IT SEEMS the reason BRITNEY SPEARS (33) split from boyfriend of eight months CHARLIE EBERSOL (32) was because he wouldn’t marry her “Britney had been pressuring Charlie for several months about getting married She’s at a point where she wants to have another child and very much wants to be married again” an insider reveals “Charlie had been very honest about not being ready to get married” According to another insider, the TV producer is “torn up” over the split, even posting an emotional message on Instagram But don’t expect him to spill his guts to the media as Britney’s dad, Jamie (62) – who’s still the conservator of her estate – made him sign a non-disclosure agreement Meanwhile, soon after news of the split broke the Pretty Girls singer…

• Charlize Theron (39) left SEAN PENN (54) because he’s a drunk bully › so says Star magazine, who quotes an insider as saying, “Charlize refuses to tell anyone the specifics, but they had a fight that left her completely shaken. Sean later blamed alcohol and begged her not to leave him.” But the Oscar-winner, who’s apparently frozen out Sean, decided his notorious temper was too explosive to live with. “When the split came, no one was surprised,” adds one of Charlize’s pals. “Charlize is extremely sensitive towards physical or verbal abuse. She just won’t stand for it.” • Word is GEORGE MICHAEL (51) has checked himself into the world’s most expensive rehab centre in Switzerland to cure his 25-joints-a-day dagga addiction.

DALENE RICKETTS (47), senior admin clerk, Brackenfell, Cape Town How did week two of the diabetic diet go? So far it’s gone well. I’ve already lost 1 kg. Are the meals practical and easy to prepare? Yes, they are. Many of the ingredients are things you generally have in the house. I had to buy only a few things, mostly fresh products. Would you change anything to the eating plan? No. I’m actually cooking the same meals now for the rest of the family. Everyone can benefit from eating healthily. Have you noticed a difference in your health? Yes. I used to feel bloated after eating meals. And my blood-sugar levels have dropped, just by my having cutting out chocolates.…

HE’S COME a long way since his days as a stripper, but it’s that very experience that led to one of his most memorable roles – as the title character in Magic Mike. Here the 35-year-old actor talks about the highly anticipated sequel, Magic Mike XXL, battling ADD and how fatherhood has changed him. The original Magic Mike was a surprise hit three years ago. What drew you to making this one? We never expected the first film to have the kind of success it did and after it came out we all knew we’d probably do another one. I’m very proud that we made Magic Mike outside the studio system without a lot of money and that people really seemed to enjoy it. It’s a project that’s close to…

HE HAS four honorary doctorates to his name and dozens of awards in his trophy cabinet. Now Johnny Clegg has added another impressive title to his long list of accolades: he’s just been made an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). Yes, it turns out even Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is a fan – that’s why the South African music legend’s name appeared on her Birthday Honours List for 2015. “It was like a bolt out of the blue,” Johnny (62) says as he chats to us at the swanky Sandton Boutique Hotel in Johannesburg. He’s just recovered from a nasty bout of flu but can’t hide his delight as he talks about his latest honour. “I initially thought I was being pranked,” he says with a chuckle.…

SHE thought it was a mistake when the pregnancy test showed positive. After two and a half years of trying, Sue Duminy had started to think she and her husband, JP, would never be blessed with a child. “I was immediately angry because I thought the test was faulty and was giving me false hope,” the Proteas cricket star’s wife, Sue (30), says. But after another two tests it was clear: their bundle of joy was on her way. “After the third test a huge shout and words of relief rang through the house! JP came running, thinking something was wrong but my face told the whole story,” says the now heavily pregnant and glowing Sue, who’s due next month. At around 9 pm that evening in December last year,…

YOU eat a balanced diet and almost always have the recommended five fruit and vegetables a day. But you might not be getting as much of the nutrients in your food as you can. And the reason isn’t the common gripe that food today doesn’t have as much nutritional value as it did decades ago. “That’s probably true,” says Pretoria dietician Zelda Ackerman. “But often food has fewer nutrients just because we don’t prepare and store it properly.” We asked Ackerman as well as Durban dietician Karen Bishop and dieticians Helen Wessels and Sonelle van der Linde from Bloemfontein for practical tips on getting the most out of your food. STEP 1 Buy and freeze correctly • Buy fruit and vegetables as fresh as possible and use them within a…

MY BOYFRIEND HAS NO AMBITION Q My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year now. I have big dreams for myself and plan to move to America to become an actress. He got a job working for my dad and is saving to come with me as he knows I’m determined to chase my dreams with or without him. The problem is he’s had a hard life and is often moody. He also has a negative outlook and isn’t as motivated as I am. I love him but I’m scared of ending up with someone who might not be right for me. I’m constantly in two minds about whether to continue the relationship or end it. He’s loyal and puts me first but it bothers me that he…

PRIDE 2014. 115 min. 13LP. True-life comedy drama. R139* It’s 1984, Margaret Thatcher is the British prime minister and the miners are on strike due to pit closures and job losses A young gay activist (Ben Schnetzer) from London feels a kinship with the miners – both groups are vilified by the press and the government – and galvanises his friends to raise money for them But when the mineworkers’ union shows reluctance to accept their help, the gang decide to help workers at a mine in Wales and set off to personally hand over the funds Following in the footsteps of crowd-pleasing British comedies about working-class people forced out of their comfort zones such as Billy Elliot (2000) and The Full Monty (1997), Pride is a feel-good, heartfelt film…

SAY WHAT YOU WANT: ADAM AND DANIEL BARON Afrikaans pop trio Adam teamed up with local pop-rocker Daniel Baron for this catchy tune. “I’ve known Hugo Ludik [founder of Adam] for a few years,” says the singer behind the hit Indestructible. “Recently we decided to co-write a song, so we sat down for two hours and came up with Say What You Want. It has elements of both our sounds and crosses over to new genres.” Talk about a perfect fit! DREAMS: BECK We love Beck’s new single – the 45-year-old alt-rock veteran has reinvented himself yet again. This is his first new music since last year’s Grammy-winning album, Morning Phase. “Dreams started out as a heavy garage-rock thing and became some kind of hybrid,” he says. The soulful dance-rock…

SHE burst onto the South African literary scene in 2000 with her debut novel, Shark’s Egg. Since then Henrietta Rose-Innes has built up a loyal following of fans with her output which includes The Rock Alphabet, Nineveh and Homing, a collection of short stories. The Cape Town author’s work has been translated into French, Spanish and several other languages and has earned her nominations for high-profile awards. Now she’s back with a new novel, Green Lion, which artfully fuses myth and reality as it explores what happens when a breeding programme on the slopes of Table Mountain brings the Cape black-maned lion back from extinction. We caught up with Henrietta (43) – currently based at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK where she’s working on a PhD…

FAMOUS EYEBROW He recently took to Twitter to explain the scar on his right eyebrow, saying it was from a dog bite when he was two. “I’m not in a gang; this is not how many people I’ve killed,” he joked. QUITE SHY! Charlie was bullied in primary school because he was “a little different”. “I was outgoing, but also introverted. The only way I could get over that was by writing my little tunes on my little piano.” TRAINED ARTIST The New Jersey native is a graduate of the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in the US. PUCKER UP! For the video of Marvin Gaye he was required to kiss All About That Bass singer Meghan Trainor (21) a few times – something she found a bit embarrassing. “There…

BY THE time the police called on Colonel Marco van der Hammen for help they’d begun to put together a picture of the murder. The victim was a six-month-old baby who had been stabbed in the neck. The alleged murderers were four men who’d gained access to the home by pretending to be from a courier company. There was even talk of a mastermind behind the killing – the baby’s father’s new girlfriend. Shed allegedly hired the killers as she was jealous that her boyfriend was spending time and money on the baby. But one critical part of the puzzle was missing: there was no firm evidence to link the alleged mastermind, Dina Rodrigues, with the four men who’d killed baby Jordan-Leigh Norton in her home in Lansdowne, Cape Town.…

HE’S the head of a huge corporate division and more than 200 people call him boss. But 23 years ago Frank Magwegwe would never have guessed he’d be where he is today. Just out of school and unemployed, he was sleeping on the street and scrounging in dustbins for food, dreaming only of a roof over his head and a hot meal. “Whatever people ate, I stood there and if there were any leftovers I jumped on it,” Frank (43) says, recalling the desperation that came with being homeless. His life now is a far cry from his one on the streets of Johannesburg all those years ago. Today he’s head of Momentum’s middle-market division and is a picture of success, dressed in a crisp blue shirt, smart tailored suit…
