SHE’S known for her glossy good looks – it’s part of what makes her Jennifer Aniston. But she has also worked hard at maintaining them. Over the years we’ve seen her extol the benefits of exercise, healthy eating, mineral water and more. Yet having turned 56 last month, Jen is under no illusions that youth isn’t on her side. And rather than fighting the relentless passage of time, she’s embracing it – by calling “bullsh**” on the rules of ageing. In a new interview with Allure magazine, the Friends star gets candid regarding her thoughts on getting older and says women don’t need to feel boxed in by their age. “I try not to think about getting older,” she says. “The world will always be there telling us what your…

HAS MY WIFE LIED ABOUT ENJOYING OUR SEX LIFE? Q My wife and I married when we were in our late twenties and we’ve been together for 10 years. Sex used to bring us close together but now my wife tells me that she is not interested in sex and no longer wants a physical relationship with me because she views me more as a friend. I am shocked as my wife is still very beautiful and I am strongly attracted to her. She told me that if I’m not amenable to a sexless relationship, she’d rather get a divorce than feel obliged to have sex with me. I’m flabbergasted because it makes me think that when we had sex in the past she was merely tolerating it rather than…

THE Oscar curse has often been spoken about – how people who nab cinema’s ultimate prize perch at the top of the Tinseltown tree for a while only to flounder once the hype has died down. And that seems to be what happened to Adrien Brody. In 2003 he was the youngest person in history to win a best actor Oscar, beating the lofty likes of Jack Nicholson, Nicolas Cage, Daniel Day-Lewis and Michael Caine. At just 29 he was Hollywood’s new darling – and then the leading roles stopped coming. It wasn’t that he didn’t have work: there were many movies in the years that followed but Adrien battled to find the right fit. And then The Brutalist came along. The film has been hailed as his big comeback,…

HER blood ran cold when she saw her rapist – the man who was supposed to be serving a 10-year sentence in prison – standing near her in the queue at home affairs in Chatsworth, Durban. Simone Kanayee was frozen in place at the sight of her abuser, her uncle John-Daniel Premakaram. Just two years ago the 77-year-old had been jailed for raping and sexually assaulting Simone and her cousin Jessica Louwrens – Premakaram’s own daughter. Simone (36) told a home affairs official the man who was meant to be behind bars was walking around free as a bird. When the official confronted him he said he was out on parole. “I was scared and shocked – I don’t even know how to explain my emotions,” Simone tells us over…

SHE’D been looking forward to the holiday for a long time – it was her first break in 15 years, a celebration of her 40th birthday and a trip without her five kids. Julie Williams was meeting a friend in Paris and she couldn’t wait to see the sights, soak up the sounds and sample French fare. When she arrived in the city she hopped on a train and once she’d reached her stop she opened Google Maps on her phone to get directions to her Airbnb and check out where the local sites were. It turned out to be a costly exercise – shortly afterwards she received an SMS from her service provider, Cell C, saying she’d used 100MB of data and had exceeded her monthly bill limit. Julie…

1 THE MOTHER OF MONSTERS IS BACK! GOING GAGA Her nickname for her fans is Little Monsters and to them she’s Mother Monster – something that gained momentum with her Monster Ball Tour in 2009. And now, her fans are proclaiming it on social media: “Mother is back!” Lady Gaga’s latest album, Mayhem, is dropping on 7 March – and the already-released tracks are soaring up the charts. The most recent release, Abracadabra, returns to Gaga’s pop roots – something that faded a bit in recent collaborations with artists such as Tony Bennett and Bruno Mars, with whom she recently won a Grammy for the hit Die with a Smile. Gaga’s return to pop music is thanks to her fiancé, Michael Polansky. “Michael is the one who told me to make a…

‘Michelle was the absolute sweetest and one of the most supportive people I knew’ WHEN MICHELLE TRACHTEN-BERG started her career in the ’90s, she was a cherub-faced young star who shone as a child actor. She went on to star in several movies and hit shows, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gossip Girl. But over the past few years the 39-year-old’s star dimmed and her life was marred by health ailments and rumoured addiction issues. Tragically she died alone in her New York apartment recently.

SHUTDOWN OF HIV/AIDS FUNDING Experts say there will be a huge rise in deaths as a result HEALTH experts predict that more than 500 000 South Africans could die of HIV over the next 10 years after the US Agency for International Development (USAID) said it would cut funding for HIV/AIDS research and projects across Africa. Pregnant mothers, orphans and sex workers will be the most affected by the decision. USAID is a humanitarian agency set up by the US to offer assistance to those living in foreign countries. President Donald Trump has said he’s taking an “America First” approach, resulting in his administration slashing $60 billion (R1 trillion) in funding. As a result, thousands of people are expected to lose their jobs. Health experts have spoken out against the…

THEY act like a pair of young lovebirds, snuggling on the couch, their knees touching, his hand on her leg, their eyes locked on each other, laughing at each other’s jokes. Yet behind their obvious happiness lies a mountain of pain – and the fact that they both know sorrow and suffering so intimately is part of the glue that binds them together.

ANELE MDODA walked the red carpet at the 97th Academy Awards and was a vision in an exquisite red and black Xhosa gown with gold accents by designer Asanda Madyibi. The star-packed Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles was a world away from the green hills of Tsolo in the Eastern Cape where SA’s beloved TV presenter and businesswoman grew up. Though her movie, The Last Ranger, didn’t win the Oscar for best live-action short film it rightfully earned its place among the world’s top contenders. The Oscar went to the Dutch short film I’m Not a Robot. The Last Ranger, by Anele’s production company Rose & Oaks Media, has promoted discussions on rhino poaching and highlighted the talent in South Africa’s movie scene. “A little girl from Tsolo!” she wrote…
