IT’S BEEN a sad start to 2016 in the celeb world. First the unexpected death of David Bowie. Only those nearest and dearest to him knew he was battling liver cancer. He released an album literally days before his death and one of his songs, featuring the lyrics, “Look up here/I’m in heaven”, is so poignant. Imagine singing that knowing when your fans see the video you’ll be gone. Only Bowie! I treasured my first Bowie LP, Pin Ups, which my brother gave me for my birthday. It sparked a long love for his music. Read our feature on the legendary rocker on page 88. Then Alan Rickman passed away from cancer, which he also kept out of the public eye. He’s probably best remembered for his role as Professor…

It’s no secret Angelina Jolie-Pitt and her husband, Brad, have donated millions to good causes over the years. And now it appears…

‘Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple’– CHILDREN’S AUTHOR DR SEUSS HOW DO I MAKE SENSE OF MY LIFE? Q Last year was an extremely unhappy one for me. My mother died, then my husband told me he was having an affair and wanted a divorce, and recently my son – my only child – told me he and his wife and kids will be emigrating to Australia at the end of this year. I’ve lost my mother and my husband and now it feels as if I’m losing my son. I now live on my own and feel as if everyone I love has deserted me. I have a few good friends but they’re all married and living their own lives. I try to be optimistic…

LISTEN TO THIS! STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS JOHN WILLIAMS Star Wars mania has swept across the globe with the release of the latest instalment in the multi-billion-rand franchise and fans have been looking forward to maestro John Williams’ soundtrack for the new film.

LOSING MOM I FEEL so helpless as my mother disappears into the folds and voids of descending fog. It doesn’t need to be diagnosed. It’s simply there, part of every day, strangling neurons without a sound. Mom is 89 years old and physically healthy, but she’s leaving her world, succumbing to Alzheimer’s disease. I have to watch, daily, as simple thoughts fly away in the wind and, no matter how hard she tries to find them, simply dissolve. The independent and adventurous woman I grew up with is breaking up in bits and pieces. When I visit I relate experiences we’ve shared, snippets from our lives, funny moments, secrets my brother and I never told her. She laughs, almost carefree, and, for that short space of time, forgets she’s forgotten.…

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN (68) was 59 when she married her second husband, JOHN EASTERLING (67). They’d known each other for 15 years when they became romantically involved in 2007.

I’m prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter - BRITISH STATESMAN WINSTON CHURCHILL CHOOSE THE RIGHT POLICY Funeral policies are one of the most popular savings instruments in South Africa. Only companies registered with the Financial Services Board (FSB) may sell funeral policies. They’re usually life insurers licensed to sell various insurance products and companies that sell only funeral policies. Unfortunately there are also many fly-by-nights. So choose a policy from a recognised service provider instead of opting for the cheapest one. PREMIUMS Some service providers offer products with premiums below R30 a month. Find out how much cover you get and who’s covered. The monthly premium is for instance determined by the policyholder’s age and policy…

1 Her new album features tracks that were rejected by other A-listers, she says. “I feel like they’re hits but nobody wanted them. So I thought, ‘Let’s see, as an experiment, if I’m right’.” 2 Sia (40) made history last year when she nabbed the songwriter of the year gong at the Australian Performing Rights Association (APRA) Music Awards for the third time in a row. 3 She’s penned hits for the likes of Beyoncé and Rihanna. She calls the songwriting process for others “play acting”, which explains the title of her new album. “I probably get 20 or 30 tracks a week from my producer friends hoping that I’ll write lyrics and a melody on top of them,” she says. 4 Music runs in her family. Her parents, Phil…

Alessia has a tattoo of a paper sailboat on her left arm. ‘They seem so frail, but when you put them on water they float. It’s a reminder that even though I’m small and seem weak, I’m not’ She says Here, off her debut album, Know-It-All, is the complete opposite of a party song. “It’s absolutely me; it shouts out the person in the corner of the party, looking around uncomfortably. I feel like this song narrates what the wallflower is thinking.” BACKGROUND The 19-year-old songstress, real name Alessia Caracciolo, was raised on the outskirts of Toronto, Canada, by working-class Italian parents. “My house was very strange. I didn’t do things other kids did because my parents were very strict. I stayed at home, quiet in my…

SHE simply can’t take the decision to end the life of one of the three babies growing inside her. She’s come to care about them and considers them to be more than just fetuses. But according to the law, it’s not her decision to make – neither the sperm nor the eggs used in the in-vitro fertilisation belong to her. The only connection she has to them is via a contract in which she’s nothing more than the vessel carrying them to give them life. Yet Melissa Cook, a surrogate mom from California in the US, refuses to abort one of the triplets she’s carrying despite the biological father with whom she entered into the contract demanding she do so. “They’re human beings,” the 47-year-old told the New York Post.…

INDULGING in delicious treats seems the last thing the glamorous crowd would do at one of the glitziest award ceremonies of the year. After all, trim and toned bodies were practically poured into designer dresses and tailored tuxes had to fit just so. But Taraji P Henson didn’t care one iota for her fellow stars’ whittled-down waistlines – after clinching best actress in a TV drama for her role as Cookie Lyon in acclaimed series Empire she handed out chocolate chip cookies as she moved through the crowd at this year’s Golden Globes. And as she took the stage in a gorgeous white Stella McCartney gown the actress displayed as much sassiness as the beloved character she plays. “Who knew playing an ex-convict would take me all around the globe?”…

Canteen grub for Wills! PRINCE WILLIAM proved he’s not above a typical canteen meal of roast chicken and cauliflower cheese when he stopped for a break at a school between shifts with the East Anglian Air Ambulance in the UK. Students at the John Henry Newman School in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, were stunned to see Wills sitting among them tucking into the food. The royal even sent compliments to the chef! Bumpin’ along First time mommy-to-be CHRISSY TEIGEN (30) recently posed for a magazine cradling her belly. But the model – who’s expecting a girl with hubby, singer John Legend – admits up until now she hasn’t really been a fan of the classic pregnancy pose. “I know, I made fun of preggos who hold their bellies too but it’s basically…

• Word is NICKY HILTON (32) is preggers! The fashion designer and hotel heiress is reportedly expecting her first child with British banking heir James Rothschild, whom she wed at Kensington Palace last year. “Nicky is very excited to become a mom. She’s feeling great!” a friend revealed. Phew, with Paris Hilton as your aunt and both sets of grandparents rolling in the dough, we can only imagine how the tot will be spoilt! • Kris Jenner wants troubled son ROB KARDASHIAN to have gastric bypass surgery. The matriarch is said to have taken control of the 28-year-old’s life, which has been blighted by depression and weight gain. He recently had a serious scare when he was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with diabetes. “Kris has already booked an appointment…

South Africa is a beautiful country but spoilt by its litter (YOU, 31 December). I wish our municipalities would take charge of their communities and somehow control the litter. Could there not be signposts in our various national languages calling on us to be proud and keep our country clean, instead of using it as a dumping ground? It makes no difference what your status is. Rich or poor, we need to have pride. It shows self-respect and it represents who we are: a proud nation. Children should be taught at school when they’re at the impressionable age about the importance of taking pride in looking after their country. Come on, South Africa! Let’s make our country a better place to live in. SZ, EMAIL • Your article really ruffled…

AFTER months of thinking about how he should propose he eventually settled on a plan: his two daughters would be part of the moment he’d ask their mom to be his wife. But he soon found out that young kids don’t always stick to the script. “I took Esihle to our bedroom and gave her the engagement ring to give to her mom,” Springbok rugby star Lwazi Mvovo tells YOU in an exclusive interview ahead of his wedding to Stephanie Olyn. “She ran out of the room and started shouting, ‘Mommy, this is for you!’ – but then wouldn’t give Steph the ring. Then she dropped it and we had to look for it! Steph was confused and surprised at the same time.” The couple met in 2007 when Lwazi…

HE STEELS himself as he raises the gun and takes aim. The heifer’s legs fold and she hits the ground with a thud – then seconds later her belly is being slit to save the calf still inside her. Although he did it two weeks ago, tears stream down Johan Groenewald’s face as if it happened mere moments earlier. He can barely contain his grief as he speaks of the traumatic day – the first time he’s had to go to such lengths in his 33 years as a farmer. It’s hard to see such raw emotion and he practically begs us to understand why he had to resort to killing the young cow. She couldn’t carry her calf to term and there was simply no other way because of…

While it’s not easy to find potential partners there’s no need to despair if you feel lonely, says Pretoria sexologist and marriage and relationship expert Dr Elmari Mulder Craig. She offers the following advice: Most important if you’re single is to be out and about – go to the movies or have supper with friends. Also join a group with a shared interest such as a walking, bird-watching or photography club. The right person won’t come knocking on your door – you have to put in the effort. Some singles groups have regular get-togethers. If there’s no such group in your area, why not start a social club yourself? Be positive – take care of your appearance and cultivate a healthy self-belief. You have a lot to give; work at…

HE HASN’T even been on the planet for 30 years but he’s already a history-maker of note. When Lionel Messi recently clinched the coveted Ballon d’Or trophy for a record fifth time he cemented his status as one of the greatest football players in the world. La Pulga (the flea), as the 28-year-old is known by fans because of his ability to outwit, outpace and outplay other teams, has returned to top form after injuries and beat rival Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow Barcelona player Neymar to the prestigious award from Fifa. After stellar performances, Messi ended last season at Barcelona as the leading goal scorer with 52 goals scored in 61 games. “It’s incredible this is my fifth,” he says. “It’s much more than anything I dreamt of as a…

For all the tales of her “divadom”, MARIAH CAREY (45) looks to be a doting mom. She was spotted giving her son, MOROCCAN (4), a piggyback in the azure waters of St Bart’s. She also posted an adorable Instagram snap of his twin sister, MONROE, with the caption, “That BIG hair!!! #attitude ‘mommy that’s not diet.” According to an insider her relationship with Australian billionaire James Packer (48) is behind her recent weight loss, which she displayed in a skintight jumpsuit. ‘It used to be just about me. Now it’s like “What are they doing?”’ On having kids, MARIAH CAREY…
