THERE’S nothing quite as fabulous as feeling like a kid again. You know, doing something that makes you feel carefree for a little while and helps you forget all the responsibilities that come with being an adult. Which is why Future Park is such a great idea: not only will your kids be captivated as art, science and technology combine to create a wonderful world of colour and movement from a simple picture, you’ll have a great time watching it unfold before your eyes too. Future Park is a new exhibition brought to you by YOU and our sister magazines Drum and Huisgenoot, and it’s on at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town until January. Gautengers, don’t worry: it’s coming your way in the new year. To find out more,…

JUST DAYS after getting her driver’s licence, she experienced another first – her debut on the runway at New York Fashion Week. The super-slim 16-year-old sauntered down the catwalk in Calvin Klein’s classic couture, later taking to the stage for designers such as Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs and even Rihanna. Fashion bible Vogue dubbed the long-limbed teenager “the model of the moment”. But of course, Kaia Gerber is no regular fashion prodigy. She’s been making waves on the modelling front since before she even hit her teens, thanks to the woman who gave her a foot in the door of an industry she dominated for decades. One look at Kaia and it’s obvious who her mother is – apart from that trademark beauty spot, she’s her mama down to her…

SHE’S a pretty eight-year-old with blonde waist-length hair who loves to dance and draw. But one thing sets her apart from the pack: her heart. Instead of nestling snugly behind her ribcage, Virsaviya Borun’s heart is on the outside of her body, beating away in the middle of her chest. Far from being self-conscious about her condition, the little girl is rather proud of it. “This is my heart,” she declares. “I’m the only one who has this.” Virsaviya suffers from thoraco-abdominal syndrome, or Pentalogy of Cantrell as it’s also known in the medical world – a condition that causes defects in the diaphragm, abdominal wall, pericardium, heart and lower sternum. In Virsaviya’s case, her heart is protected only by a layer of skin. She’s also missing chest bones and…

MY HUBBY HAS ANOTHER WIFE Q I’ve been happily married for two years to the most wonderful man. He told me his job required him to travel a lot and that he’d be away from home frequently, even on weekends, and I accepted this. He’s always been very loving and we were even talking about starting a family. Then yesterday I opened my front door to a very classy-looking woman and she told me that she’s actually his wife and that he has a family (they have two children) and she only recently found out about his dual life. I was shocked and thought it must be a hoax, but when I confronted my husband he confessed that it was indeed true. He’s been leading a double life with two…

YELLOW By Shane Eagle So just how did a debut album by a relatively unknown local hip-hop artist end up a chart-topper within days of its release? Easy: Shane Eagle’s spit game (style of rapping) puts him up there with the best, and he addresses more than the usual topics such as girls, cars and money. There’s a deeper meaning to his lyrics that makes you think and feel empowered. The album’s easy flow will make it a favourite on any rap lover’s playlist and the stellar production is of an international standard. Standouts include Need Me and the title track.

WITHmostof its surface covered by water, Earth is a beautiful planet. When astronauts look back at Earth from space this enormous amount of water makes our planet seem blue, which is why we call it the Blue Planet. Seen from space the continents have a brownish colour while the clouds wafting in the atmosphere appear white. THE ATMOSPHERE Air is one of the things that make life on Earth possible. What is air, and do all the planets have it? Air is another word for atmosphere. Earth’s atmosphere is made up of various gases, with nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) being the most important ones. Various small particles – including dust, water, smoke and pollen – are also found in the atmosphere. Most of the other planets also have atmospheres…

IT WAS a project so ambitious most people wouldn’t even have attempted it. Combining a love of academics with a passion for rap music and a burning desire to convey a pretty serious message? Can’t be done, the majority of us would think. But Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh (28) was determined. He thought the country needed a new perspective on the problems it’s facing, so he got to work. The result: a book and rap album called Democracy & Delusion. And it’s the first of its kind in South Africa. Usually at launches you get a book or an album, not both. Yet this is a package deal, the Oxford University graduate says. Sizwe, who has a master’s degree in international relations from the prestigious British university and is now working on…

THE ex-husband of Emmy award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon, RYAN PHILLIPPE (43), won’t face criminal charges in the domestic violence case that resulted in a lawsuit being filed against him by a former girlfriend. A spokesperson for the Los Angeles City attorney’s office says his office won’t pursue the matter further after hearings were held which both parties attended. Model ELSIE HEWITT (21) recently hit the Shooter star with a $1 million (R13,5 million) lawsuit, alleging domestic assault and emotional distress. She says the actor beat her while intoxicated when she went to pick up a few things from his home in July. The two dated briefly earlier this year. Ryan strongly denies the claims. “I’m saddened and disgusted by the false allegations being circulated about me,” he says. “At the…

I feel sorry for the man in the street. He doesn’t stand a chance with this government’s corruption and looting of the state coffers. The corruption doesn’t affect the rich. They can absorb increases in rates, water, electricity, fuel and food. But the poor can’t, and instead of being able to create a decent life for themselves they’re plunged into greater poverty and despair. When life becomes a burden some commit suicide, some resort to crime and others develop severe depression and mental disorders. The sad part is that people in this situation believe they don’t have a voice. But they do. They just don’t know how to exercise their rights. If any political party has failed dismally and is laughing at us while they plunder our state coffers, we…

NORTH WEST Kim and Kanye’s firstborn is only four years old but the tot’s already a regular feature in the front rows of various fashion week shows all over the world – and she’s appeared in a controversial shoot that saw her reality-star mom dressed as Jackie Kennedy on the cover of Interview magazine with the heading “America’s New First Lady”. Kim (36), who’s expecting her third child with her 40-year-old rapper husband via surrogate, insists she’s not going to be a “momager” like her mother, Kris. “My hope for my kids is that they’ll just be at peace,” she told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. “No matter what they end up doing or who they end up becoming, I just want them to be happy. I just want my kids to…

BAREFOOT on the beach, clad in nothing but an uber-trendy ripped denim shirt and peak cap, with her dachshunds’ leashes draped around her neck – this is a version of one of the world’s most famous royals the public has rarely seen. But it wasn’t her laissez-faire attire that had onlookers’ tongues wagging: it was the silver fox by Caroline’s side. Has the famously unlucky-in-love princess from Monaco’s Pink Palace found love at last? Princess Caroline (60) hasn’t been seen with a man by her side in nearly a decade since splitting from her husband, Prince Ernst August of Hanover (63), in 2009. There was no mistaking the body language between her and her new friend as they soaked up the sun on a beach in Saint-Tropez in the south…

GETTING divorced can be emotionally exhausting and many people try to get the process over with as quickly as possible – even if it means losing out financially. Rather try to think of your future. Here are a few tips that will help. 1 Maintenance should my ex die If your ex dies your minor children will be able to claim for maintenance from the deceased’s estate but you as the former spouse won’t. Maintenance obligations to a former spouse end on the death of the payer, says David Thomson, legal adviser at Sanlam Trust. This can be addressed by stipulating in the divorce settlement – which can be made an order of the court – that spousal maintenance obligations will be binding on the deceased’s estate. A one-off amount,…

IF YOU’VE always dreamt of writing a novel but fear you might have left it too late, Lesley Pearse will give you hope. The British author is living proof it’s never too late – after only starting work on her first novel at age 41 it took her seven years to get it on shelves. But since then there’s been no looking back – today she’s a publishing phenomenon with book sales of more than 10 million. “People joke about it and call me ‘Persistent Pearse’,” Lesley says with a wry chuckle as she chats to us over the phone from her home in Devon, England. “But I’m one of those people who when I start something I always finish it. So many people say, ‘I started writing a book…

TELL HER YOU LOVE HER READING about relationship problems makes me want to share my life with all you men out there, young and old. In January I was sitting next to my wife’s bed in hospital, looking at her beautiful blue eyes slowly fading away in death because of cancer. My insides were torn in half. We were married for 50 years and she was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. Huge regret welled up in me that I hadn’t shown her more love and affection. I should have hugged and kissed her more often and told her I loved her. I’d often get in late after visiting our local club to play snooker and have a few beers with the boys. I’d come home to a lovely dinner,…

To Hardus Lotter (YOU, 21 September): after killing your parents, studying theology seems a bit rich! Why do evil people cling to God when it’s too late? NOT CONVINCED, SMS My parents died in the same week and I’m so sad to be only me. FIONA PAKARI, LENASIA SOUTH Recently we’ve had many deaths because of road accidents. Nobody seems to be taking action. I think it should become law that every motor vehicle – be it a bus, truck or scooter – have a dash cam. Stop talking and take action. Innocent lives are being lost by stupid drivers. RECKLESS DRIVING VICTIM, SMS I’m so glad I’m not the only person who has a problem with itchy-scratchy clothing labels (YOU Say, 21 September). I always cut them off straight…

COULD my sister have raised a killer? Of course this thought has crossed her mind, she says – how could it not have? “Yes, I have wondered: could it be a possibility?” It’s a question many people want an answer to – an answer they’ll get once the court case involving Henri van Breda (22) finally comes to an end. But for this woman, there’s a lot more at stake than curiosity and intrigue: the woman murdered alongside her husband and son that day was her sister. Leenta Nel (63) now lives in Canada but she’s in South Africa for a few weeks to attend her nephew’s trial. The state alleges Henri axed his parents, Martin (54) and Teresa (55), and his brother, Rudi (22), to death and tried to…

AS FAR as politicians go, he ticks all the boxes. Firm handshake? Tick. Makes an effort to pronounce everyone’s name just right? Tick. Comes across as “one of us”? Tick. Smart suit and tie? Double tick. There may still be three months to go until the ANC elective conference in December but Dr Zweli Mkhize is making sure he makes a good impression. The dark horse in the presidential race meets us at a five-star hotel at OR Tambo International Airport, granting us an hour of his time before he jets off to his next meeting. It’s all go-go-go for Mkhize, the ANC’s 61-year-old treasurer general, since the Alfred Nzo region in the Eastern Cape named him as their pick for president. And while several other candidates have thrown their…

Work those arms! Buy a set of arm (or leg) weights and attach them to your wrists when blow-drying or ironing your hair. This ensures you get a decent arm workout while giving yourself a great hairdo. Got chewing gum stuck in your hair? Harden the gum by rubbing an ice cube over it – and it will be easier to remove. For extra grip when opening tight nail polish bottles, wind rubber bands around the bottle tops. Paint keys with various shades of nail polish to easily tell them apart. This way you won’t waste time trying similar-looking keys on the wrong locks. Use a pretty scarf to jazz up an old pair of flip-flops. Start by making a knot at the front of the flip-flop, then wrap the…

How do you feel about beating Jay-Z on the iTunes charts? Jay-Z is a legend. I could never feel like I’ve beaten him in any way – I mean, that’s Jigga and he’s married to Beyoncé! Is he one of your rap heroes? Definitely. Jay-Z taught me it’s not only the about the raps, it’s also about building an empire with your own hands. Tell us about your album. There isn’t much to say except that the streets are calling it a classic. It took a year and a half to make. The inspiration came from memories of my childhood, dreams of the future and the reality of my present. Did you think it would be a chart-topper? I never think about topping the charts, but I knew the music…

JULIANNE MOORE The acclaimed actress plays Poppy Adams, a lifestyle-guru-turned-terrorist who heads the crime syndicate known as The Golden Circle. She describes her character as “a charming psychopath”. The Still Alice actress says although she loved embracing her dark side, the highlight of the film was working with legendary singer Elton John, who appears as himself. “It was insane . . . just listening to him sing,” she gushed. “There was one scene where he was on the piano and sang all day – none of us could believe it. I touched him a lot – because I could; he was right there!” JEFF BRIDGES The veteran actor plays Agent Champagne, head of the Statesman. “It’s kind of an American version of the Kings-men,” he says. Unlike the Kingsmen, who…

THE WOMAN IN THE WOOD By LESLEY PEARSE Michael Joseph After their father has their mom committed to an asylum, twins Maisy and Duncan Mitcham are sent to live with their cold and distant grandmother near England’s New Forest. When 15-year-old Duncan goes missing police give up hope of ever finding him alive. It’s up to his sister to find out what happened to him, and she knows exactly where to start: the woman who lives alone in the wood and about whom so many rumours abound. THE AUTHOR SAYS . . . I’d never been to the New Forest before, and when a friend suggested we go there for a few days I happily agreed. As soon as we began driving through the forest towards Burley [in the south…

TOP IT UP A couple take their three young kids out for their first meal at an expensive restaurant. After the husband orders wine the waiter begins the ritual of uncorking the bottle and pours a small amount for the customer to taste, handing the glass to the lady of the table. Her six-year-old pipes up, “Mom usually drinks a lot more than that.” ON THE COUCH WITH MOM A woman drives her kids crazy with her constant attempts at analysing people and their motivations. One day she and one of her daughters are talking about a niece who’s just started a new job. “Why do you suppose she changed jobs?” the woman asks. “Maybe she has a subconscious desire not to succeed.” “Or maybe it just happened,” her daughter…

HE USED to win prizes left, right and centre thanks to his bushy tail and beautiful coat. But these days Taro is looking decidedly hangdog. “He’s been scarred for life,” his heartbroken owner, Ronel Vorster, tells us. “Just look at his bare body. Shame!” But the worst part is the emotional pain. Ronel says her champion Pekingese has been left traumatised after a nightmare stay at a posh dog hotel in Cape Town where almost all his fur was shaved off without her permission. “Taro was a show dog and regularly won competitions. Now he just doesn’t strut the way he used to,” she says. When we arrive at her home in Melkbosstrand near Cape Town we instantly know we’re at the right house. Over the intercom we can hear…

EISH, we’re sure JESSICA SIMPSON regrets this night out! The fashion designer – who’s said to be planning a return to reality TV – was recently snapped looking worse for wear after celebrating hubby ERIC JOHNSON’s 38th birthday in West Hollywood. Looking bleary-eyed, Jessica (37) grabbed Eric’s hand as she stumbled while making her way to the car. Once seated her antics continued as she stuck out her tongue. This isn’t the first time Jessica – who has a daughter, Maxwell (5), and a son, Ace (4), with Eric – has shocked onlookers with her boozy behaviour. In September 2015, In Touch magazine reported it got so bad that Eric, a former American football player, threatened to leave her if she didn’t go to rehab to deal with her prescription…
