I’M SURE you know this by now but we do love a good wedding! It’s just so great to be able to escape the humdrum of everyday life by looking at photos of happy, smiling people who are in love and having a grand time. Pippa Middleton’s no-expenses-spared wedding was no exception. And she also had two of the most adorable royal tots in the world to up the cute factor in her wedding party. Prince George and Princess Charlotte almost stole the show at their aunt’s nuptials. The pair, along with mom Kate, provided plenty of Instagram-worthy moments – see our awesome picture spread starting on page 10. Another diversion from the stresses of day-to-day life comes in the form of our special-edition knitting magazine. There are lots of…

In October 2014 I was a victim of cybercrime – in exactly the same way as Wicus Pretorius (YOU, 18 May). It was an illegal SIM swop at MTN. I needed to do internet banking but my phone was blocked. I couldn’t get through to MTN but I sent them an email asking what could have been wrong with my phone. Nobody ever got back to me. I contacted Standard Bank to ask them to change my one-time pin from SMS to email so I could do my payment. I was able to do my payment but I couldn’t go to the MTN store until after 5 pm. They tried my SIM in their phone and it didn’t work. They called an expert to ask if they could see if…

THEY ’RE both affectionate, athletic and introspective and can be a little tetchy when they haven’t eaten. Meet Topher Brophy and his “son”, Rosenberg – a hairy pair who love dressing up together and have become an Instagram sensation. “Rosenberg came into my life two years ago when I was going through a difficult time,” says Topher, an artist who lives in New York. “I wasn’t in touch with my emotions and to mask this and to relieve tension and stress I began to overindulge in playing competitive sport.” After herniating a disk he was forced to stop and with a lot of time on his hands he realised he’d become too self-absorbed. “I badly needed meaning in my life and knew caring for someone else would be healthy. This…

YOU’RE getting tension headaches almost every day, you feel tired all the time and there’s a nagging ache in your lower back. You realise it’s probably all due to stress, but how can you avoid it when there’s so much to stress about? There’s work and the kids and the bills . . . Your to-do list just never seems to get shorter. Maybe your stress levels are even tipping over into anxiety that’s giving you heart palpitations and making it difficult to concentrate because you feel like your mind is in a million places. There’s no doubt about it: chronic stress can seriously mess with your body and mind – as insurers well know. Over the past few years long-term insurers have received more claims for stress-related illnesses –…

RED WINE Dab, don’t rub, the stain with a clean, damp cotton cloth to absorb any excess wine. Then place the stained portion of the garment over an empty bowl, secure it with a rubber band and sprinkle a generous portion of salt on the stain. Pour hot water over the area and let the stained section soak in the salt and water for a few minutes. Clean the salt off. LIPSTICK Dishwashing liquid is made to clean greasy dishes so it’s perfect for oily lipstick stains. Blot the stain with a paper towel, then cover it with dishwashing liquid and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Rinse with water.

IT’S COMPLICATED The Pirates Of The Caribbean star has an interesting connection to South Africa. Until he was 13, Orlando thought his father was the late South African lawyer and anti-apartheid activist Harry Bloom, who died of a stroke when Orlando was four. His mother, Sonia, who’d married Harry 10 years before Orlando was born, confessed the truth to him during a family holiday – that family friend Colin Stone, who became Orlando’s guardian when Harry died and then helped to raise him, was his biological father. His mother revealed both he and older sister Samantha were Colin’s biological children and were conceived after an agreement by his parents because Harry, then in his mid-sixties, was unable to have children. Orlando takes his complicated family tree in his stride. “It’s…

‘No hallowed halls, no soft chamber music and no photography bans’ VISIT any big museum and you’re likely to be escorted smartly from the premises should you have the gall to touch one of the artworks – and woe betide you if you’re caught sneaking a pic of a painting that takes your fancy. But a 3D exhibition in Cape Town has chucked all these rules out the window: touching the art and photographing it is the whole point. In fact, you’re positively encouraged to sit, lie and walk on the works – because through interacting this way the dizzying 3D effects are brought spectacularly to life. “No hallowed halls, no soft chamber music and no photography bans,” reads the promotional material on the exhibition’s website, Incredible Illusions. And when…

NOT-SO-NORMAL CHILDHOOD Paris spent the first seven years of her life on her dad’s Neverland Ranch in California. “We actually had a pretty normal life. Like, we had school every day and we had to be good,” she says. She and her brothers, Prince and Prince Michael II – who was previously known as Blanket but now goes by the name of Bigi (now 15) – were home-schooled so they could spend more time with their dad. “He tried to raise us without us knowing who he was but that didn’t really go so well,” she says. She now understands why Michael wanted them to cover their faces as children whenever they left the house. “I appreciated it,” she says. “But it wasn’t always comfortable.” THE WORLD’S FIRST GLIMPSE The…

It’s hard getting hold of this guy, what with all the globetrotting he’s doing for his cheeky travel show Wingin’ It, but we managed to pin Siv (31) down. The TV presenter, comic and actor tells us about the things he can’t live without and where in the world he’d run away to. 5 MINUTES TO MAKE YOURSELF SOMETHING TO EAT – WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE? I’m usually too lazy to cook . . . No, I’m too lazy to do the dishes! But if I had to I’d take a can of tuna, add some sweet potato and mix it all together to make the sweetest, healthiest dish ever. I live off this when I’m dieting for a shoot. 4 THINGS YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT . . .…

DENZEL WASHINGTON Two-time Oscar winner DENZEL WASHINGTON (62) was spotted on the streets of Santa Monica in California wearing an unflattering, oversized shirt and baggy jeans, looking as if he’s put on more than a few kilos! He also sported an afro. It’s all for his new movie, Inner City, in which he plays a lawyer recruited by a cutthroat attorney to join his law firm. PENÉLOPE CRUZ Spanish actress PENÉLOPE CRUZ (43) seems to have nailed her latest role, playing Italian fashion designer DONATELLA VERSACE (62). The star was seen in a platinum blonde wig and flaunting a fake tan and tight dress while filming the TV show The Assassination Of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, about the 1997 murder of Donatella’s brother aged 50.…

 MARGOT ROBBIE (26) and hubby of six months TOM ACKERLEY (26) enjoyed some quality time together in Hawaii recently. ‘Tom is the best-looking guy in London’ MARGOT ROBBIE The Aussie actress and the British assistant film director, who were there for a friend’s wedding, put on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a quick picnic out. Margot looked laidback and relaxed in shorts and a white blouse as she cuddled up to her man, whom she now lives with in London. The blonde beauty can next be seen in theatres as Daphne Milne in Goodbye Christopher Robin, about the life of Winnie-the-Pooh creator AA Milne and the bond he had with his son that led to his famous book.…

A KYLIE JENNER stalker has confessed to murdering a homeless man. Marvin Magallanes, who’s been caught on more than one occasion trying to get into Kylie’s house, turned himself in to the cops and admitted to the killing. In December 2015 police warned the reality star to get a restraining order against Magallanes, who believes the 19-year-old is his “soulmate”. He’d tried to break into her house after escaping from a psychiatric ward. Scary stuff! Fans have always wondered who KATY PERRY (32) was hinting at in her chart-topper I Kissed A Girl – and it turns out it’s none other than her longtime pal Miley Cyrus! The Wrecking Ball singer (24) disclosed this in a recent radio interview while promoting her new single, Malibu. “When she came out with…

Why do you refer to Emmanuel Macron’s marriage to Brigitte Trogneux as “granny love” (YOU Say, 18 May)? This is ageist and sexist. Would you refer to grandpa love in the case of Donald Trump and Melania? BE FAIR, SMS It seems a bit sick to have a husband 24 years your junior. It’s like sleeping with your son. The age gap is too wide. DISAPPROVING, SMS The day I had the temerity to stand up for myself after being humiliated and insulted for a long time, I felt free. I’m free! BREN, ROODEPOORT I recently had to take my daughter to a government hospital as she had no medical aid. The service was non-existent and the ladies behind the service counter were eating sandwiches and drinking tea. After two…

BUDGET SPOIL YOURSELF GET THE MOST OUT OF IT EDP (eau de parfum) is more expensive than EDT (eau de toilette) but it’s worth the extra cost because the intensity of the fragrance means it’s longer-wearing so you need to reapply less frequently. Use less EDP or EDT by layering the scent with more affordable versions of the same fragrance, such as body spray or lotion. At work, an EDT is a better idea – you don’t want your fragrance to overwhelm your colleagues. A smaller size costs less, but you get more bang for your buck if you buy a larger size – the price difference is often not proportional. Ask at your local store if your bottle is refillable or if you can return the empty bottle for…

‘If you do not tell the truth about yourself, you cannot tell it about other people’ – ENGLISH AUTHOR VIRGINIA WOOLF WOMEN GET CLINGY SO QUICKLY! Q I’m a 26-year-old bachelor and I want to date different women and give myself the opportunity to get to know them and hopefully fall in love with the right person. But I find it difficult to get women to understand that a first date doesn’t necessarily mean there will be more dates or that I’ll fall in love with them. In most cases the women I’ve dated immediately took the attention I paid them and my behaving like a gentleman as an indication that I’m interested in taking things further. It then ended with them in tears when I explained that I want…

WITH MORE THAN 110 million copies of his books in print, you’d think David Baldacci wouldn’t ever doubt his abilities as a writer. But on the publicity trail to promote his new release, The Fix, the American author has said that even though he’s what’s considered “a global success”, each new novel is a struggle. Baldacci (56) says he worries each time that he won’t be able to turn out another bestseller. But he reckons all this fretting is an important part of his creative process.“Fear is the antidote to complacency,” he says. “There’s the fear that you’re not going to be able to do this again and I think that gives you an edge.” Baldacci reckons the reason he’s so successful is because he allows himself to get obsessed…

You know him from his 2013 hit No Ordinary Guy. Now the 27-year-old Cape Town singer-songwriter is back with his self-titled second album. Tell us about your new record. It’s very personal; everything’s about me. On my first album, The Rush, there were collaborations with people like AKA, The Kiffness, GoodLuck . . . This record has just one, When We Were Young with Break-DLaw. I wrote the song for my best friend who passed away in a motorcycle accident two years ago and it’s the first single. It’s also the reason it’s a self-titled album – I can confidently say if you want to know me, then listen to the 14 songs in a row. I always thought it would be a risk to be so open and honest…

‘Let me see your hands – yes, you could be a kid of mine’ HE CALLED himself a “pioneer of fertilisation” and held the hopes of hundreds of women in his hands – women who desperately wanted a baby and turned to him to make their dream come true. Dr Jan Karbaat’s fertility clinic in Rotterdam in the Netherlands offered patients in-vitro fertilisation from sperm harvested from dozens of donors. Yet instead of using samples the women had chosen specifically to “father” their babies, the doctor duped them in a terrible act of betrayal – he used his own sperm and could have fathered up to 60 children in the process. Karbaat died last month at the age of 89, but that isn’t stopping 23 people – including mothers and…

THERE’S no heavy make-up. No weird bulges growing on his neck. Fans might not recognise Arnold Vosloo in his latest role because this time he looks so ordinary. “It’s so good to play the middle-aged man that I am. I don’t have to dye my grey hair,” Arnold (55) says about his appearance in respected police drama Bosch which airs locally on DStv’s Universal Channel. He’s talking to YOU by telephone from his three-storey townhouse in Santa Monica, California, in the US. “No, the place isn’t covered in posters from my movies,” he tells us. “Not even one. When I’m here I stay away from work.” Arnold is the Alberton boykie who’s never become blinded by the bright lights of Hollywood – despite having earned millions of dollars as the…

Actress PRIYANKA CHOPRA (34) has clearly forged a love affair with the sea and sun after spending the past few months filming the new Baywatch movie. The former Miss World – who plays a villain in the flick – was spotted relaxing on a Miami beach with a bunch of gal pals, including Baywatch co-star ALEXANDRA DADDARIO (right) and Victoria’s Secret model ADRIANA LIMA (below right). Priyanka and Adriana wore skimpy bikinis, with Priyanka – who also stars in the TV series Quantico – adding extra protection from the sun in the form of a button-down khaki shirt. The two looked close, with the Indian star at one stage hitching a piggyback ride with her Brazilian pal. What a life!…

ONE GOOD DEED I AM unemployed and often feel like a lesser being because of this. A few weeks back, my sister and I went shopping. When we returned to her car, I saw a wallet lying on the ground. I went to the information desk while my sister stayed behind in case the owner came looking. Several announcements were made, but nobody came forward. At this point I opened the wallet to look for a SmartShopper card. The store traced him via his card. A man came running into the store with his phone clamped to his ear. My sister entered the store simultaneously and after hearing snippets of his frantic conversation related to his lost wallet, pointed in my direction. I lifted the wallet in the air. I…

JOHANNE 14 – John 14, the Bible text in which Jesus comforts his disciples – is what cabbage is called in townships due to its affordability. It’s also the name of Hope’s book, which includes recipes his father, Elias Mokoena, taught him. “So, if you have cabbage you shouldn’t let your heart be troubled,” Hope writes.

Recreational shopping is the shortest distance between two points: you and broke – VICTORIA MORAN, AMERICAN WRITER SPAR Many retailers offer discounts or special offers to people over the age of 60. The amount you save might be small but every little bit helps. Offers vary from store to store. Most Spar supermarkets are franchises, which means each franchise owner decides about whether to offer a discount. Certain Spar shops offer five percent discount to pensioners on Tuesdays, but it’s the exception rather than the rule. Check with the Spar in your area. MAKRO AND BUILDERS You can apply for a pensioner’s card at Makro with which you can get five percent discount every Tuesday on food products (including meat, groceries, fruit and vegetables) and up to 10 percent on…

THE TEST A professor is supervising an exam. He hands out the question papers then goes to sit at his desk while he waits for the students to write their answers. After they’d all handed in their papers he notices one of them had attached a R100 note to his answer with a note that reads, “A rand for every percent.” A week later the professor hands out the marked papers. The student who attached the note got 44 percent and R56 in change. LOGICAL CONCLUSION A boy looks up at the sky and sees something, but he doesn’t know what it is. He asks his mother but she can’t tell, so she points him to his brother. But his brother has no idea, and sends him to his father.…

The start Born Yuvir Pillay, Sketchy was just 13 when he started producing beats with his buddy and fellow Durbanite Arnold Phillips (aka Aewon Wolf). Aewon features on two tracks on Unmasked. Like a boss Sketchy (27), who’s signed to mega-dance label Ultra Music in New York, became the first local producer to have his own feature on music channel MTV Base two years ago. And he recently opened for Justin Bieber during his Purpose World Tour! Hidden figure Like Sia and Daft Punk, Sketchy is known for keeping his face hidden – although he drops his signature ski mask on the cover of his debut album. Wearing the ski mask wasn’t planned, he’s revealed. “Sketchy Bongo never had a mask. Someone I work with was shooting a video for…

Isn’t she adorbs! RUSSELL BRAND (41) and fiancée LAURA GALLACHER’s baby daughter MABEL was seen in public for the first time recently during an outing with her parents in London. The six-month-old’s face could be seen as her doting dad strapped her safely into a car. In October the comedian said he and Laura (29) were considering raising their child gender-neutral. “I may not even ever impose a gender upon it, let the child grow up and be whatever the hell it is, never tell it there’s such a concept.”…
