AND so, one year ends and another begins, bringing with it opportunities for something better and brighter. What does the future hold? Where will 2023 take us? Will this be the year where dreams come true? I’m going to try to live in the moment this year and truly appreciate everything good in life. I’m not sure I’ll get it right every time, but I’m going to do my best and take inspiration from one of my favourite pieces of writing by Austrian poet and author Rainer Maria Rilke. “Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue,” he writes. “Do not now seek the answers, which…

SHE’S used to the stares of strangers every time she goes out and she’s made her peace with it. She knows she looks different – but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t long to be like other teens her age. Her lack of hair is especially difficult. “When I look at other girls who have hair, I don’t feel normal,” Michelle Motibi says. “I want to feel like a normal girl with hair and pretty skin.” Michelle has suffered more tragedy and hardship in her 15 years than most people do in a lifetime – her mother used to be a drug addict, her beloved grandmother died four years ago and she doesn’t have a relationship with her father. And then there’s the fire that nearly killed her and left her…

SHE was always the kooky one, the ditsy one, the self-confessed flaky one who didn’t live with Monica and Rachel and was always a little removed from their world in that famous apartment with the purple door. And in real life she felt something set her aside from the other two as well. The ultra-slim, glossy perfection of Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston gave Lisa Kudrow body-image issues and made her rethink the way she viewed her own appearance. Until she joined the cast of Friends as Phoebe, Lisa (59) had a healthy relationship with her body. “I thought I was just really skinny, I can do whatever,” she says in a recent appearance on an episode of the Podcrushed podcast. But when she joined the cast of one of…

Write to Dr Louise, PO Box 39410, Moreleta Park 0044, or email info@drlouise.co.za. WHY IS IT SO EASY FOR HIM TO MOVE ON? My ex-boyfriend and I have known each other since primary school. We started dating seriously in high school and after we finished university we decided to move in together. We’ve lived together for two years, then suddenly two months ago he told me he didn’t think our relationship was working and wants to end it. Until that moment I thought we were the happiest and best-adapted couple on Earth! Not until that moment did he give any indication that something was amiss. I moved out and got my own flat but I’m finding it difficult to move on. His friends tell me he’s fine and that he’s…

RAZOR SHARP A man and his young son walk into a barbershop to get a haircut. The man asks the barber to give his son a haircut while he shops for groceries nearby. So the barber cuts the boy’s hair and finishes up but there’s no sign of the father. An hour passes, then two, and the barber finally asks the boy where his father is. The boy replies, “That’s not my dad. He just told me that if I wanted to get a free haircut at the barbershop, I should come with him.” A GOOD SAMARITAN Every day an English teacher is seen coming out of the school’s toilet with a permanent marker. In the toilet cubicles are expressions and graffiti written on the walls. Finally the director of…

UPER-MODEL Linda Evangelista famously said she wouldn’t get out of bed for less than $10 000 a day back in the ’90s. Nowadays stars are earning millions for just a few minutes of screen time and some don’t even make it to the final product! But if your face and name alone pull in the crowds, studios are willing to fork out the big bucks. To be fair, some scenes can take a few days to film and performances can be physically and mentally draining. Still, the dividends are nothing short of staggering. Robert filmed his scenes in three days, which means he made a cool $5 million per day! BIG-BUCKS STARS! ZENDAYA (26) The two-time Emmy winner has proven she gives bang for her buck with her fans rushing…

SHE’S jumped off skyscrapers, flung herself out of cars and risked life and limb on more jaw-dropping stunts. Being a Bond girl, a martial-arts warrior, a geisha, scientist, professor and domineering mother – she’s been there, done that too. Yet Michelle Yeoh’s name hasn’t exactly been mentioned in the same breath as the Charlize Therons, the Sandra Bullocks or the Angelina Jolies of the world despite them having played similar roles over the years. Until now. Michelle’s fans have finally got what they’ve demanded for years: recognition for her talent and prowess on the silver screen. Time magazine named the 60-year-old film veteran its Icon of the Year and she was among Entertainment Weekly’s top entertainers of 2022. It’s been a busy year for Michelle. The Malaysian actress’ powerhouse performance…

PEOPLE who are in the process of selling property often use bridge loans (aka gap financing) to cover the expenses for their new home while their current one is being sold. Costs financed this way usually include a deposit on a new property, property tax or unpaid municipal rates and taxes. Here’s what you need to know. 1HOW IT WORKS When you sell a property you have to wait for the transfer to be registered before you receive any of the money. The process can take two to three months from the date the sale agreement is signed until the transfer is registered. You’ll only get your money once the registration takes place, but you might need money in the meantime to help cover costs associated with a new property…

ON OUR RADAR 1 BLOOD & WATER In the first season of this hit Netflix series, 16-year-old Puleng Khumalo (AMA QAMATA) got herself transferred to the prestigious Parkhurst High in Cape Town after she became convinced that the school’s star swimmer, Fikile Bhele (KHOSI NGEMA), was her long-lost sister. Puleng told Fikile that she believed she was her biological sister, and that an adoption agency had stolen Fikile from hospital after she was born. The second season ended on a dramatic note when DNA tests revealed what Puleng had suspected: Fikile was indeed her sister, but they didn’t share the same father. In the latest season Puleng and Fikile team up to search for Fikile’s biological father but in the process dark secrets are uncovered, leaving the sisters with more…

THE world got to know her as the adorable offspring of two of Hollywood’s hottest people. Her crop of dark hair, her porcelain skin, her impish smile – Suri Cruise was cuteness overload. But my oh my, look at Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s little girl now. Suri is 16 and while her mom insists she’s “just a regular high school girl” in many ways, she’s – well, she’s not. You can’t have a mom like Katie and a dad like Tom and “just” be anything. Case in point: Suri has already launched a singing career thanks to her mom’s showbiz clout. When Katie (43) was looking for someone to perform a cover of the jazz ballad Blue Moon for her recent movie Alone Together, she decided to give her…

SHE’S a household name in South Africa, synonymous with everything from no-flop cake mixes to braai spices and family-friendly recipes anyone can whip up in a jiffy. Ina Paarman is like your auntie in the kitchen, there to hold your hand and make life simpler and tastier every easy-to-follow step of the way. And at the age of 83, this pint-size powerhouse is showing no sign of slowing down – the smells that greet us when we meet her at the test kitchen on her sprawling property in Constantia, Cape Town, are proof of that. Presiding over bubbling pots of curry sauces is Ina herself, sampling and stirring as she moves around. But a spoon isn’t her only kitchen essential – a wooden step is always at the ready too.…

THE BULLET THAT MISSED By RICHARD OSMAN Viking The intrepid oldies of the Thursday Murder Club – Joyce, Elizabeth, Ibrahim and Ron – are back for their third adventure and it’s a corker. This time they’re drawn into the mystery of TV reporter Bethany Waites, who was investigating tax fraud when her car was driven off a cliff. Her body was never found. They ask Bethany’s former co-host, the urbane Mike Waghorn, to fill them in on her last movements. Mike’s sidekick is glamorous makeup artist Pauline, who quickly ensnares a smitten Ron. Meanwhile, former spy Elizabeth and her husband, Stephen, are bundled into the boot of a car and taken to the headquarters of a Swedish crypto king who orders her to murder a KGB agent. If she refuses,…
