HANDS up if you’ve ever used the kids pages in our Young YOU section to do your own homework or help your children or grandkids with theirs. I’m raising my hand over here – those pages were a lifesaver when I had to do school projects back in the day! As a kid, one of the things I liked most about that section was how easy it was to understand the topics we had to cover. I also cut out plenty of pictures to help make props for orals and to illustrate my essays. Of course these days schoolkids have a lot more resources available and most of it online. But still, many of our readers often turn to our Young YOU pages for help and guidance because of how…

ON OUR RADAR 1 DRAKE GOES OLD SCHOOL Drake’s giving his fans “an old side of him” on his eagerly awaited new album, For The Dogs, out this month. “I’m tired of everybody coming up to me, saying, ‘Man . . . we miss that old Drake. We need that old Drake man’,” he said on the NFR podcast. “Imma give it to you then.” It’s the eighth studio album by the 36-year-old Canadian rapper and follows his 2022 album, Honestly, Nevermind, which received plenty of flak from critics who thought it had too much of a house-music influence. Guest appearances on For The Dogs include Nicki Minaj, Bad Bunny and Sza, who features on the lead single Slime You Out. The album’s cover features a drawing of a dog…

A TEST of any true football fan’s loyalty is to see whether they stick with their club when times are tough. And, boy, are times really tough over at Old Trafford where Manchester United continue to rake in one dubious record after the other. Although many a Red Devil fan has stuck with their club, some have reached the end of their tether and have even taken to booing their own players after a series of disastrous missteps. With six losses in their first 10 matches of the 2023/2024 Premier League season, this has been declared their worst league start in 34 years. It doesn’t help that Man U are on their fifth full-time manager since saying goodbye to Sir Alex Ferguson, who steered the United ship to glory and…

THE END FOR JODIE AND JOSHUA WHENEVER actress JODIE TURNER-SMITH and husband JOSHUA JACKSON hit the red-carpet, fans swooned at this picture-perfect match. So everyone was shocked when Jodie recently filed for divorce from the Dawson’s Creek actor after four years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable difference”. Even though Jodie (37) filed the papers on 2 October, she states the couple officially separated on 13 September. Sources say no one was more surprised by the move than Joshua (44) . He didn’t realise how unhappy Jodie was. The day before they were photographed holding hands at a New York Fashion Week event. “Joshua was clearly caught off guard by Jodie’s decision. They had their issues, as many couples do — especially two busy actors who are also juggling a child,” a…

LETTING loose when you’re a celebrity offspring isn’t always easy. Just ask JADEN SMITH, whose recent wild antics in Europe have had his fans asking, “Is Jaden okay?” During the recent Milan and Paris fashion weeks the rapper was seen displaying worrying behaviour and posting questionable photos on social media. In one of these photos snapped in a hotel room in Paris a broken wine glass could be seen lying on a table next to him. This came after a wild night out with friends where he was seen holding an empty champagne flute while walking in the streets. The day before he caused a disturbance at Loulou restaurant, where he was spotted singing loudly at a table of strangers before dancing around holding a chair over his head. Seemingly…

IT’S the long, dark nights she dreads the most. Sometimes she wakes in the pitch black and in the few seconds before harsh reality comes flooding back, she believes her baby boy is lying beside her, safe and warm under the covers. But Ryan, her beautiful nine-month-old son, is gone forever. Her older son, Ruan (4), is dead too and she’ll never again hear his laughter or see him running full tilt through the house. The rooms are silent, the boys’ toys packed away – a constant reminder of her aching loss. Nikita Venter (26) sits on a couch in her parents’ home in Brakpan, Gauteng, a frail figure with red-rimmed eyes. Nearby her father, Desmond, tries to offer comfort but he too is devastated. “We’ve probably shed 20 litres…

ABSOLUTELY & FOREVER By Rose Tremain Chatto & Windus The torment of teenage love is the starting point of this sparkling gem of a novel. It’s the 1950s and posh schoolgirl Marianne is obsessed with floppy-haired Simon, who deflowers her in the back of his baby-blue Morris Minor one febrile evening. Simon is meant to go to Oxford but when he fails his entrance exams he decides to decamp to Paris with lofty ambitions of becoming a writer. Marianne’s world becomes reduced to waiting for letters from the city of love but one day the news is distressing: Simon is getting married. Our distraught heroine moons around on holiday with a lanky and good-natured redhead called Hugo, and the pair become friends. Time passes and Marianne and Hugo become companionable…

YOUNG YOUWE TALK ABOUT AMERICAN astronaut FRANK RUBIO is back home after being stuck in space for more than a year. Frank (47) and Russian cosmonauts SERGEI PROKOPYEV (48) and DMITRY PETELIN (40) landed in Kazakhstan last month after spending 371 days in space. The trio travelled to the International Space Station (ISS) in September 2022 and were set to return in March this year, but they were left stranded when their return capsule was damaged while docking at the ISS. Because the capsule could not be repaired in space, it returned to Earth without crew. A new rover could only be sent to collect them in September this year. Frank, who was a doctor in the military before becoming an astronaut, was supposed to spend 180 days at the…

GRIMES SUES MUSK OVER KIDS Billionaire allegedly blocked singer from children THE ink had barely dried on headline news that ELON MUSK and singer GRIMES secretly welcomed a third child together when their relationship burst into the spotlight again. Grimes, real name Claire Boucher, recently filed a petition “to establish parental relationship” with their kids. A petition to establish parental rights is often a means of identifying who a child’s legal parents are if they aren’t married. It comes just weeks after the musician pleaded with Elon on X (formerly Twitter) to allow her to see their youngest son, Techno Mechanicus, whose birth was revealed last month in Walter Isaacson’s biography, Elon Musk. “Tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer,” she said in…

FIRST came the signs: “10 cartons per customer only”, followed by “one carton per customer”, then “eggs sold out”. And it wasn’t long before the price increases came – and the realisation that this is a serious situation indeed. Avian flu, or bird flu as it’s commonly referred to, has hit SA’s chicken and egg supply hard and consumers have been battling to buy the food that’s a staple in many homes. About 7,5 million chickens bred for meat and egg laying have been culled since the disease broke out in April – that’s nearly a third of South Africa’s total chicken stock, says Izaak Breitenbach, general manager of the SA Poultry Association. Fortunately we may have reached the peak of the infection, experts say, and drastic interventions to contain…

IT’S BEEN 22 years since the debut of the cult original styler GHD. The gold standard of hair styling, GHD (which stands for “good hair day”) became one of the must-have beauty items of its time due to its ability to create smooth, glossy locks without damaging hair. Since then many iterations have entered the market, each one promising to create sleeker and shinier styles. While these tools have made our lives much easier, using heated straightening tools on your hair regularly, especially when done the wrong way, can damage your hair cuticle and make your tresses look dry. It can also further lead to breakage, split ends and hair fall. However, by choosing the correct heat styler and protecting products as well as using the correct technique, a flat…

Write to Dr Louise, PO Box 39410, Moreletapark 0044, or email info@drlouise.co.za. MY HUSBAND HAS A FAMILY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY Q My husband’s work takes him to different areas in Africa. I recently found out that he has a second family in Nigeria – a “wife” and two other children. Our children are in their teens and this has been going on since my eldest was 10 years old. He has bought a house for them and a car for the “wife”. The children are in private schools and are fairly spoilt by their father. My husband thought I’d never find out but life can cause secrets to slip out. A good friend recently visited Nigeria and was invited to a party where she met the wife and children. When…

Q & A ■ Why does a chicken coop only have two doors?Because if it had four doors it would be a chicken sedan. ■ Why does a marriage proposal always sound good?Because it’s got a nice ring to it. ■ Why does a flamingo lift up one leg?Because if it lifted up two it would fall over. ■ Why does a thief need glue?To give him sticky fingers. ■ Why does a seagull fly over the sea?Because if it flew over the bay it would be a baygull. ■ Which celebrity is always ready for a meal?Reese Witherspoon ■ Which celebrity is always ready for a roadtrip?Tom Cruise SWEET TOOTH I went on a cruise, but the boat sank.

HEAR her name and an image is bound to come to mind of high-cut bathing suits, long golden locks and sun-kissed skin, pouting pink lips and loads of mascara rimming her lashes. Pamela Anderson has always been quite something – but the gorgeous beach babe who fuelled a thousand dreams in the ’90s is long gone. And in her place these days is a 56-year-old beauty who’s turning heads for a whole different reason. Pamela’s recent outing at Paris Fashion Week became one of the main talking points during the annual gathering of the rich, the famous and the uber-stylish. She glowed in a yellow dress but it wasn’t her outfit that had people talking – it was the fact she wasn’t wearing a stitch of makeup. Veteran actress Jamie…

SHE was at home getting ready for a show when she heard that the father of her child, the man she’d been in an on-and-off relationship with for years, had been gunned down along with his friend in a brazen shooting at a Durban restaurant. Ntombezinhle “DJ Zinhle” Jiyane cancelled her performance and put everything else on hold as she tried to process the news that Kiernan Forbes, the rapper known as AKA, was gone. How would she explain it to their daughter, Kairo? How would she tell the then-seven-year-old that she’d never see her dad again, or dance around the house with him, or have him shower her with gifts on her birthday? Eight months on, she still has a tough time dealing with the reality. “Every day we…

SHE’S riding high on a wave of fame at the moment so it was only fitting that ANYA TAYLOR-JOY’s wedding to musician MALCOLM McRAE (29) was like a scene straight from a Hollywood classic. A year after they reportedly wed in secret at a courthouse in the US, The Queen’s Gambit star and her husband went all out with a ceremony and party in Italy. The wedding took place at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta on the Grand Canal in Venice and 150 of their friends and family joined in the celebrations this time around. On the day of the celebration Anya (27) was spotted taking in the view from the 15th-century balcony of the Palazzo Pisani Moretta in a custom-made beige gothic-inspired Dior dress. After the ceremony, guests – including…
