SHE’S regarded as one of Hollywood’s nicest stars. If you need help, just call her. Need a shoulder to cry on? She’s there. Someone to talk to? She’ll listen. Jennifer Garner is indeed that rare thing in Tinseltown – a nugget of real old-fashioned kindness and goodness, a rock everyone can rely on. When ex-husband Ben Affleck fell off the booze wagon in 2018 it was Jen who came to his rescue, picking him up at his house, Bible in hand and carting him off to rehab. When his high-profile marriage to Jennifer Lopez started to fall apart last year she tried to help him save it. And when wildfires ravaged Los Angeles in January the 52-year-old actress threw herself into volunteer work while holding down the fort at home…

ONCE upon a time he was a fresh-faced, clear-eyed, sparkly-toothed heartthrob with hair every teenager and their mom wanted to run their fingers through and a voice that could melt the most cynical of souls. But the Justin Bieber of today is barely recognisable from the adorable 13-year-old who took the pop world by storm nearly two decades ago. Gone is the preppy boy he once was – and in his place is a gaunt, dishevelled soul who looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Each time the 30-year-old is seen in public he seems to have unravelled a little more, his outfits becoming increasingly bizarre, his cheeks more sunken, his stubble more unkempt, his eyes ever sadder and hollower. In a recent Instagram post…

This means if you have debt such as a home or car loan, your monthly instalments will be lower. When interest rates drop many people consider locking the lower rate in. But first understand how fixed and variable interest rates work before you consider it. THE PRIME RATE IN A NUTSHELL This is a very important rate for consumers as most loans are linked to it. It’s the benchmark rate that commercial banks will charge when lending you money – be it on a credit card, personal or home loan. The prime rate is linked to the repo rate (the rate…

MAP work is an important part of social sciences (geography) that you study in school. It’s really helpful to get a grip on the key concepts so you can understand the material better. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHYSICAL AND POLITICAL MAPS? Natural features such as rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts, waterfalls and high- and low-lying areas are all indicated on a physical map. Conservation areas and farms are also shown on physical maps. Physical maps are very important for farmers, architects and pilots, for example. Unlike a physical map of South Africa, the political map of SA indicates manmade things such as international borders, national and provincial capitals, major cities, main roads, railways, ports and airports. Sometimes a political map of SA will also show our neighbouring countries with their…

LOTS of things can destabilise a marriage. One partner wants to move house, the other doesn’t. One partner wants a baby, the other doesn’t. But for the film director and actress Susanna Cappellaro and her husband, Scott Cohen, the issue was more fundamental. “I’ve thought about this a lot,” says Scott, an executive in the music industry in the US. “Apart from me having a sex change, this was the biggest shock to a relationship imaginable.” “I will not argue with that,” his wife says. One evening in 2016, Scott came home from work, sat Susanna down and told her he wanted to become a cyborg. After a career working with cutting-edge technology in the music industry, he’d decided it was time to import tech fully into his life. “I…

IT’S hard to imagine life before You-Tube, with its millions of videos of everything from recipes to DIY, news to sport, music to education, personal experiences to wacky behaviour. Virtually anything and everything you can think of is there – and it’s just turned 20. To honour the milestone anniversary of a website beloved by grannies and toddlers alike, here’s a look at how it started and took off like a rocket. The Boob In The Tube Play All YouTube all started with Janet Jackson’s boob. Footage of the famous wardrobe whoops at the 2004 Super Bowl – when Justin Timberlake exposed Janet’s breast on stage – became one of the most-talked about events of the year. Computer engineers Jawed Karim, Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, who were among PayPal’s…

A MONTH before he died, he posted a video on social media, singing in Arabic, “You won’t ever forget me”. And how poignant those words seem now. Muhsin Hendricks might not have been speaking about himself, rather summoning the god he devoted his life to, but his memory, his legacy and his courage will live on. Tributes have poured in from around the globe for the 58-year-old Muslim, widely known as the world’s first openly gay imam, who was gunned down in Bethelsdorp in the Eastern Cape shortly after performing an interfaith wedding ceremony. The motive for the murder is still unknown and the police investigation is ongoing, but Muhsin had long been the target of death threats – although he refused to live in fear. ‘WE WILL MISS HIS…

IF THERE’S one person he can thank for helping him get his life back on track, it’s the judge who sentenced him to jail. Prosecutors were seeking a 63-month sentence for grand theft and firearm possession but the judge sentenced him to 27 months instead. He needed to take advantage of the attention he’d received from the outside world and use it to turn his life around, the judge said. And Jeremy Meeks will forever be grateful to that man on the bench. “The only thing that saved me, which was such a blessing, was my judge,” Jeremy says. “He helped me in so many ways.” Which is true, of course – but he has something else to thank: his good looks. Jeremy’s the guy who blew millions of minds…

EAT UP! ■ I just found out there’s a clinical diagnosis for when you can’t sleep and so you spend the whole night eating. It’s called insomnomnomnomnia. ■ What’s worse than finding a worm in the apple you’re eating? Finding half a worm. ■ Teacher: Peter, do you say a prayer before eating at home? Peter: No sir, I don’t have to. My mom is a good cook. ■ I’ve got this terrible addiction. I can’t stop eating deli meats. It’s got so bad I’m trying to quit cold turkey. ■ What did the hungry clock do? It went back four seconds, of course. WORK, WORK, WORK ■ Working at an unemployment office must be so tense.

SHIFT By ETHAN KROSSEbury There’s no way to avoid uncomfortable emotions such as anger, sadness, guilt or jealousy – it’s part of what makes you human. But it is possible to manage your feelings so they don’t manage you. In this book, psychologist Dr Ethan Kross busts some common myths – it might come as a relief to know that avoidance isn’t always toxic and no, life isn’t always about striving to be in the moment. Kross offers you tools you can use to recognise your emotions and then use them to your advantage in difficult situations. OPEN WHEN: A COMPANION FOR LIFE’S TWISTS & TURNS By DR JULIE SMITHPenguin You know those break-glass-in-case-of-emergency boxes that are often in public spaces?

UNDERNEATH the roiling surfaces of the world’s waters lies a wonderland teeming with exotic creatures, mystical caves and abundant plant life. It’s a paradise for photographers with the right camera gear, as these winning images from the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition demonstrate. RADIANT BOND Alvaro Herrero, Spain A humpback whale guides her calf to the surface for its first breath of the morning. The youngster is releasing a few bubbles as it rises, perhaps because it’s still learning to control its breathing. “This photo shows a mother’s love for her calf, communicating both the fragility and beauty of our oceans and revealing one of the amazing species with whom we share our world,” Alvaro says. The judges raved about it. “This delicate yet powerful study of a mother…

1 SAD FAREWELL TO A LEGEND She was one of the most recognisable voices of the 1970s so music fans were saddened to hear the news of ROBERTA FLACK’s recent death. The 88-year-old, who was best known for classics such as Killing Me Softly with His Song and The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face, lost her ability to sing after being diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease in 2022. “She died peacefully surrounded by her family,” her publicist said. Roberta made history in 1973 by becoming the first artist to win back-to-back Grammys for Record of the Year. In 2020, she was honoured with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. 2 ALEC BALDWIN POURS OUT HIS HEART Get ready to see ALEC and HILARIA BALDWIN as you’ve never seen them…

TRADEMARK TROUBLES FOR DUCHESS Fashion line plans altered THE Duchess of Sussex’s latest rebrand continues to court controversy. Meghan (43) recently introduced her luxury lifestyle brand, As Ever, on Instagram – only to face backlash over its logo, which resembles the coat of arms of Porreres, a small town on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Xisca Mora, Porreres’ mayor, says they can’t afford to sue the duchess but have implored her to change the logo “because our coat of arms is very special to our culture”. Compounding these issues, As Ever shares its name with a New York-based clothing brand owned by Mark Kolski. “Even if I wanted to do something I don’t think I have the behemoth of lawyers and money that are behind this,” he says. Though Meghan…

HER dark hair shimmers in the sun and her gypsy dress is bright against the backdrop of Table Mountain. Being back in Africa brings out a different side of her, Marcelle Adams says. “I’m usually boring with colours, but here I am, pink and playful,” she says. She spotted the outfit at a roadside stall near Stellenbosch a few days ago, and she just had to buy it. She hopes her former partner, Dr Piet Koornhof, would approve of her bold fashion statement, she says. Her visit to the Cape isn’t only a holiday, it’s also a kind of pilgrimage. Even though it’s been years since his death, she felt a driving need to visit the politician’s final resting place to say sorry. Piet, a former apartheid-era cabinet minister, caused…

A FEW months ago it would have been the stuff of nightmares: a group of 30 people waiting to see her, all set to comment on her appearance. Since childhood Annetjie de Wit’s face has been covered in lesions caused by a rare skin condition – and the taunts and stares she received brought her nothing but misery. But there’s excitement in the air in Roodepoort, in the shade of her sister Gerda-Marié de Beer’s lapa as Annetjie’s family and friends gather to meet the “new” Annetjie. There’s even a TV crew waiting for the big reveal. Since last August 59-year-old Annetjie has been in the capable hands of doctors Riekie Smit and Jurgens Grové and their teams, undergoing cosmetic and dental procedures as part of the VIA TV show…

ASK any dermatologist and they’ll confirm you might as well toss your expensive serums down the sink if you’re not wearing sunscreen: the sun will undo all their good work. So powerful are UV rays, they can do much worse than pesky brown spots and sultana skin. They can kill you. The trouble with sunscreen is the confusion, even debate, around UV filters: are chemical sunscreens bad for your skin? Do they kill coral? Can mineral sunscreens offer enough protection? Should we be worried about nanoparticles? Product recalls fuel the rising trepidation about chemical ingredients. In 2018, Hawaii banned sunscreen containing oxybenzone and octinoxate over concerns they damage coral reefs (this is still hotly debated). The US Food and Drug Administration later found that both these chemicals can penetrate through…

MY SEXUAL ADDICTION IS CAUSING ME GREAT DISTRESS Q I don’t know what to do. Recently my partner, whom I adored, broke up with me. We both suffer from depression and have had some seriously traumatic experiences in life. I struggle with an overactive sex drive, and it’s become a problem. It’s as if I am addicted to it. In December my partner was admitted to a clinic for treatment, and that very night I started looking at escort agencies. I went so far as to message them about prices but never went through with it. My partner found those messages and she was furious. She broke up with me there and then. I don’t know what to do about this problem. It is affecting my life to the point…

YOU’LL NEED STEP BY STEP 1 0 Cut off one of the ice lolly stick’s rounded ends so that you have a straight edge on one end. 2 First, test your battery and LED light by sliding your battery between the prongs of the LED light to check that it lights up. 3 Cut a strip of copper tape or foil slightly shorter than the length of your stick. Guide the tape from the curved tip, completely covering the LED prongs, down towards the cut end of the stick. Don’t cover the light. Repeat on the other side of the stick. 4 Add the binder clip to the bottom of the stick with the prongs flipped up. Use the non-conductive tape to secure the battery in place. 5 The torch…

HIS hair may be silver now but those twinkling blue eyes and that crooked smile have lost none of their charm. Rob Louw is about to turn 70 and his rugby days are long behind him – but the legendary Springbok still lives life the way he used to play the game – side-stepping obstacles like he used to dodge opponents. Little can get him down, least of all a brutal cancer diagnosis. It’s been 16 years since he was diagnosed with an aggressive metastatic melanoma which had spread to his gallbladder, liver and small intestine. Doctors told him he had months to live – five at most. His response was typical Rob. “I said, ‘Hold on, doctor. Nineteen years ago I was thrown out of a boat and mauled…

IF YOU’D told her a few years ago she’d one day be standing among the crème de la crème of showbiz, she’d have laughed in disbelief. Yet there she was, being feted by the industry’s finest. Mikey Madison was so astonished when her name rang out across the auditorium at the recent Bafta awards she didn’t even have an acceptance speech prepared. She’d beaten Demi Moore, Cynthia Erivo and Karla Sofía Gascón to win best actress and she was utterly blown away. “I suppose I should’ve listened to my publicist and written a speech or something,” said Mikey, who became the youngest Bafta best actress winner since Scarlett Johansson won for Lost in Translation in 2019. Mikey (25) also took a moment to thank the sex worker community. “I just…

Just like Alice in Wonderland, JADEN SMITH has been stuck in some curious situations. Like in this custom-made castle headpiece designed by Hungarian Dora Abodi. Irish actress SAOIRSE RONAN looked like she just emerged from a cocoon when she attended a BFI event in London in this draped organza silk dress by Khaite. ANYA TAYLOR-JOY was ethereal in a white mini-dress at the premiere of her new movie, The Gorge. We can only assume the designers at Dior looked to the skies for inspiration. It looks like Hacks star HANNAH EINBINDER’s stylist had a lampshade moment when they chose this structured green satin Louis Vuitton gown for the Critics’ Choice Awards. Real Housewives star LISA RINNA looked like a cutout doll in a Marc Jacobs design when she attended the…
