MAY’S WEAKNESSES Theresa May didn’t fail to win an outright majority because of the “fickleness of British voters” fed up with an unnecessary election (YOU, 22 June). Voters finally woke up in large numbers to the hollowness and weakness of May as a leader and negotiator. She’s unable to face ordinary people and seems unable to think things through for herself; her answers to questions posed are irrelevant and robotic. She certainly doesn’t have the interest of the majority of the British people at heart. The only reason Labour didn’t win was because almost all the British media – including the BBC – were blatantly anti-Jeremy Corbyn (the Labour Party leader). Corbyn has a modern, well thought-out and workable manifesto. PETER, HILLCREST RUMBLE, RUMBLE I’m an elderly woman and I…

THE photos lie scattered on the coffee table in front of her. Looking up at her from them is her daughter, sporting short blonde hair and a shy smile. When we remark on their striking resemblance Noreen Breeds laughs quietly. “Really? You think so?” she says, picking up one of the photos. She stares at it for a moment, tears welling in her eyes. Tracy-Lee Scott-Crossley went missing in 1988 and was never found so these precious images – the few the police didn’t seize while searching for her – are the only ones Noreen (69) has of her 14-year-old daughter. It’s thought Tracy-Lee was the first of paedophile Gert van Rooyen and partner Joey Haarhoff ’s six missing victims. Today Tracy-Lee would be turning 43 on 19 July. But…

MOST writers would give just about anything to win the Man Booker Prize. Winning this prestigious literary award, given annually to the best original novel written in English, just about guarantees that all your books – past and future – will fly off the shelves. But for Arundhati Roy the award, which she won in 1997 for her debut novel, The God Of Small Things, turned out to be something of a mixed blessing. Suddenly the Indian novelist had clothing chains knocking on her door, inviting her to model their clothes, and an American tabloid named her one of the most beautiful people in the world. Fed up, she chopped off her hair, saying she didn’t want to be known “as some pretty woman who wrote a book”. She also…

DADDY’S GIRL Her parents divorced when she was a toddler and the Oscar nominee reveals that while growing up she was “tossed between them like a football”. By her mid-teens she was estranged from her mother, late Playboy pin-up Colleen Harrington, and living with her father, late acting coach Burt Lane, in New York. She says his influence looms large in her life. “I was his final project. I’m definitely his daughter before I’m anyone’s wife, ex-wife, mother. To this day I’m still thinking about the path not taken. I didn’t live my life, I lived the life my father wanted for me. But it’s great – it’s much better and I’m glad.” AGEING GRACEFULLY Diane made her acting debut at the age of 13, graced the cover of Time…

DADDY’S GIRL Her new ballad Inspired pays tribute to her singer dad, Billy Ray (55), who starred with her in the hit Disney show Hannah Montana. She even has a tattoo with the word “dad” on her right foot. Billy Ray says it’s the best ink he’s ever seen. “I try to play the heartless, mean, bigger sister that’s like, ‘Noah thinks she’s so cool’ and then I’m in the front row and I’m like, ‘Noah’s so cool’.” SIBLING LOVE She has mad love for her sister Noah (17). She even thinks the Make Me Cry singer is way cooler than she is. No wonder Miley snoops in her little sister’s room and steals her stuff! “People who break up and get back together – it’s awesome because you know…

STEFFI GRAF (48) About the German star who clinched 22 Grand Slam titles – including seven at Wimbledon – Chris Evert has said, “Steffi Graf’s the best all-around player. Martina won more on fast courts and I won more on slow courts, but Steffi came along and won more titles on both surfaces.” Graf holds the record for the most weeks (377) spent at No 1, ahead of Navratilova (second, 332) and Serena Williams (third, 319). MARTINA NAVRATILOVA (60) The Czech-born American legend won 18 Grand Slams, including nine Wimbledon titles (still the record). Tennis Magazine named her the greatest female player of the 1965-2005 era. CHRIS EVERT (62) The American icon – whose rivalry with Navratilova long captivated the tennis world – also won 18 Grand Slams, including three…

OH BOY, we wouldn’t have liked to be the boyfriend of SEAN PENN’s daughter on this day! JIMMY GIANNOPOULOS, who’s dating the two-time Oscar winner’s daughter, model DYLAN (26), was spotted huddled on a pavement in New York as he faced the full wrath of the furious actor, who was joined by his ex-wife and Dylan’s mom, ROBIN WRIGHT (51). We’re not sure exactly what Jimmy – who’s a member of actress Zoë Kravitz’s electro-pop group Lolawolf – did to deserve such a telling-off, but at one point Sean (56) was seen holding a cellphone up to the muso’s face as Robin burst into tears. According to sources the trio had enjoyed a quiet dinner before heading outside where the drama began. But things did seem to end on an…

NO REWARD WITHOUT RISK GROWING up I always knew what I wanted to do. I had it all figured out. I was going to complete matric then study what I’m passionate about – media, radio or film. I completed my matric but then I got thrown a curveball. My mother, the one person who’d supported and encouraged me, died. I lost all hope and felt like giving up on life. I enrolled to study radio broadcasting but then my father lost his job and I had to drop out. I was heartbroken and couldn’t comprehend what was happening. Then I started watching and reading motivational stories and I realised there’s an abundance of people who’ve encountered far worse challenges than I have. If these people were able to overcome their…

TEA-GAN, SMS Keith Chipiwa, your winning letter is brilliant. Thank you for making my day. I had the best laugh ever. SHIRLEY SIMPSON, PORT ELIZABETH I’m rolling on the floor laughing at the Tea Time letter by Keith Chipiwa. VEE, ROODEPOORT I totally agree with Sue that Sean Connery was the only James Bond (YOU Say, 22 June). I had the pleasure of meeting him at the premiere of Dr No in London in 1962. When he said “the name’s Bond, James Bond” the whole audience let out a sigh of pleasure! He was utterly gorgeous and the most handsome man I’ve ever…

‘Pursue what catches your heart, not what catches your eyes’– AUTHOR ROY T BENNETT WHAT CAN I DO WITH ALL THIS ANGER? Q My second husband died a few weeks ago. We were married for six years and I thought we were happy, but I realise now that I was blind. My husband had retired from academia when he was 55 and I was still working and earning a lot at the time. We lived in my house and he paid a small amount towards the monthly household expenses and kept the rest of his pension to himself –which I’ve now discovered was a substantial amount. He’d leave each morning in one of my cars to meet his friends while I’d work all day and come home tired. He’d simply…

‘You can’t let a brain like yours go to waste, Becky; it would be criminal’ ‘I HEAR your daughter’s done pretty well for herself, eh Hazel? Winning that science prize?” “She has, yes.” It was hard for Hazel to stop beaming at the manager of the supermarket. “You must be so proud of her. And she’s been given a scholarship to study, I hear?” “That’s right. It will make a big difference once she’s decided what she wants to study.” Hazel checked the lettuce in the salad section and made a note to have more brought through from the cool room at the back. They looked a bit tired, and Hazel prided herself on the way she managed the fruit and veg section. She’d won a prize herself last year…

‘I’m confident in myself and what I’m doing’ SHE’S a hip-hop heavyweight described as Mzansi’s answer to Nicki Minaj – yet just a few months ago she was still asking her mom’s permission to go out at night because she’s a well-brought-up young woman who respects her elders. But Nadia Nakai (27) has graduated into the big-girl world and is fast making a name for herself with her wicked rhymes and A-list collaborations with the likes of Cassper Nyovest, Gemini Major and Riky Rick. In an all-black outfit, the Ragga Ragga singer – also known as Bragga – takes time out of her hectic schedule to talk to us about how far she’s come. WHERE IT ALL STARTED Nadia grew up in Eldorado Park and Johannesburg’s northern suburbs before her…

Singer and actress JENNIFER LOPEZ (47) and retired baseball player ALEX RODRIGUEZ (41) made us super jealous with their recent romantic getaway to various places in France. “Jennifer loves France. She organised the trip and showed Alex her favourite places,” a source close to the pop star said. “Things are great with them. Jennifer still gushes about Alex every chance she gets. The more she gets to know him the more she likes him.” But all good things must come to an end and the two are reportedly back in New York where Jen headed straight to the set of her TV show, Shades Of Blue. Their R4,55 million trip R2 million Private jets Travel for these A-list stars is usually by private jet, which doesn’t come cheap. R145 080…

Kimye have reportedly hired a surrogate to expand their family. According to TMZ, Kanye West (40) and KIM KARDASHIAN (36) paid a deposit of $68 850 (R890 000) with a surrogacy agency and will reportedly pay the woman $4 500 (R58 000) a month for 10 months with a bonus of $5 000 (R64 500) for each possible multiple child. Kim has previously had difficult pregnancies and has also been diagnosed with a life-threatening pregnancy condition, placenta accreta, so she’d be at high risk if she carried a third baby. MEL B (42) is showing her estranged hubby the finger! The singer has reportedly rejected Stephen Belafonte’s spousal support demands which include $4 300 (R55 470) a month for food and groceries and $2 000 (R25 800) for clothes. Apparently…

I COME from a generation where talking about how you feel is quite normal. You have an emotion, you document it somewhere, often accompanied by an emoji or two to make a point. The young generation of royals seem to feel that way too and have become more open about their feelings – especially William and Harry. It’s all part of a drive to raise awareness around mental health issues but still, it’s a far cry from the generations that came before them (see page 6). I’m all for anything that raises awareness of mental health. There are too many people who think depression isn’t a real issue and that other mental health concerns are for people who aren’t “tough enough” or “want attention”. Many lives would be saved and…

Jo-Ann Strauss ESTABLISHED BUSINESSWOMAN “I’m always trying to squeeze more than the supposedly possible amount of work into my 24 hours and I value any time that can be saved. I love that I can bake quiches, for example, in record time in my Hotblast microwave.

Q How do unit trusts work? A group of investors’ money is put into a unit trust or collective investment scheme which is in turn invested in equities, cash, securities and listed property. The money you invest buys you shares in the unit trust. As a small-scale investor you get the chance to invest in a wider variety of asset classes than you’d be able to on your own, Janet Hugo of Sterling Private Clients says. In SA in the 12 months leading up to March 2017, R157,1 billion was invested this way. Q What are bonds and listed property? Bonds are called debt investments as the investor lends money to an institution such as a corporate or the government. The funds are borrowed and paid back after a specific…

DEEP STUFF A Buddhist walks up to a hotdog vendor and says, “Make me one with everything.” Everyone chuckles and the vendor makes the dog. The Buddhist hands him R100. The vendor pockets the money and moves on to the next customer. “Hey, where’s my change?” the Buddhist says. “Ah,” the vendor says, “change comes from within.” ALL TIED UP I received an invitation to a wedding that said “black tie only”. But when I got there everyone else was wearing tuxedos.

RUN Foo Fighters This track’s on fire! It’s the US rockers’ first new music in two years and rumoured to be the first single off their forthcoming ninth album. Some feel it’s one of the six-piece band’s heaviest tunes to date and it’s getting lots of love online. “This song is a breath of fresh air with some of the other reliable bands turning to pop for sales,” one fan commented on YouTube. We agree! Frontman Dave Grohl’s screaming vocals along with crashing drums and gritty guitars make for one rowdy tune and a headbanger of note. WALL OF GLASS Liam Gallagher The Oasis frontman has finally released the first single off his upcoming solo debut album, As You Were. “For me it’s just a rock ’n roll tune, guitar…

LAURA HARRIER LIZ ALLAN The 27-year-old actress from Chicago, Illinois, plays Peter Parker’s love interest in the upcoming film Spider-Man: Homecoming. CLAIM TO FAME Laura is best known for her role as Destiny Evans in the brief 2013 remake of the series One Life To Live. BEAUTY SECRET The dark-haired stunner goes to Paris twice a year to treat her locks to a keratin treatment but recently told Vogue she communicates minimally with her French hairdresser. “I don’t know anything about [the treatment] because she doesn’t speak English and I don’t speak French!” SAY WHAT? She says she didn’t have her sights set on Hollywood. “I was always interested in acting but I never thought it was what I was going to do with my life.” Just look at her…

He’s a seasoned TV presenter and has a few acting gigs under his belt but there are still some things that get JONATHAN BOYNTON-LEE (36) flustered – such as kissing his celeb crush on camera! The Top Billing presenter is filming a new movie called 3 Days To Go and actress LEEANDA REDDY plays his love interest. “Lee has been my celeb crush for the longest time so this movie has been a dream come true because I get to kiss her!” he tells us. The movie is about the chaos that unfolds when a bunch of siblings come together after the death of their father. “I’m actually a secondary character,” Jonathan says. “This movie is all about the female leads and there’s a female director – it’s pretty awesome.”…

Whether she’s sporting a bright pink bob or sleek cornrows, Afro-pop singer NHLANHLA NCIZA knows how to keep her look edgy. The Mafikizolo star never seems to have a bad hair day – not even in winter when many of us struggle with dry hair and breakage. Her hair is a big part of her identity. “Every time I want to reinvent my image I start with my hair.” She says the shape of her face plays a big role in choosing her hairstyles. “I have an oval face so not every hairstyle suits me. For example, up-buns don’t suit me but short hair works well for me. “Choose a hairstyle that blends well with your image and face,” the singer advises. Here are some of the styles she's sported…

She might have had his inked initial removed from her hip but GWYNETH PALTROW (44) still keeps things cordial with her ex, Coldplay singer CHRIS MARTIN (40). The pair, who were married for 11 years before announcing their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014, were spotted holidaying on a luxury yacht in Cannes. As the actress reclined onboard, Chris opted for a day of fun in the water with their son, MOSES (11). Both stars, who also have a daughter, Apple (13), have moved on romantically. Chris is reportedly dating UK actress Annabelle Wallis (32). Gwyneth is seeing US TV producer Brad Falchuk (46). ‘We’ve always said these children are our priority’ GWYNETH PALTROW…
