A GROUP of us Media24 editors have just had panel discussions on current trends to help us create a strategy for the coming year. And what we found fascinating was that although it’s widely reported that there’s a generation gap and lack of understanding between baby boomers and generation Y, we aren’t seeing it. As one of my fellow editors pointed out, the generation gap is actually becoming less and less obvious. When you see mothers and daughters out and about – or fathers and sons – they could be of a similar age. They’re equally fashion-conscious, their hairstyles are on trend and they all use social media. Gone are the days when you dressed your age, be it 50 or even 60. Everyone is bent on being youthful in…

‘He’s been there for me all my life, and I’ve been there for him all my life’ - CELINE THROUGHOUT their life together their fans were always top priority – and it would seem that was the case in death too. Although she must have known her grief-ravaged face would be captured by global media she was determined to respect her late husband’s wishes to the end. Réne Angélil would have wanted his wife to greet those who’d come to mourn him. He would have wanted her to allow fans to be part of this journey, despite her heartache, as they’d been through their 21-year marriage. Unsurprisingly Céline Dion greeted the hundreds of mourners who’d come to pay their respects personally – it’s yet another thing her beloved Réne would…

ENAMEL-COATED PASTEL JARS Here’s a clever idea for all those jars you’ve been saving. Paint them, group them together and use as vases – so pretty! YOU NEED Dishwashing liquid and bottle brush Lots of plastic sheeting Wooden strips Funnel Old cloth Craft knife Glass jars and bottles Enamel paint in four pastel shades STEP 1 Clean the insides of the containers thoroughly with dishwashing liquid and water A bottle brush works well Allow to dry completely STEP 2 Lay the plastic sheeting in an open area and place wooden slats or something similar on top of it This is where you’ll leave the wet containers to drain and dry, so the slats need to be high enough from the ground to ensure the dripping paint won’t pool in the…

‘The show is about grief, sorrow, loss. . . at the end of the day all those things are really expressions of love’ 1 TV JUNKIE Justin (44) was born and raised in Washington, DC, by his mom, Phyllis Grissim-Theroux, a writer, and dad, Eugene, a lawyer “I wasn’t particularly good at anything academic Maths is still a magic trick to me” says the star, who struggled with dyslexia as a child After his parents split, television became his refuge “I devoured TV – everything from The Dukes Of Hazard and The Love Boat to Fantasy Island At that time you could watch everything – there were only four channels Now that’d be impossible” 2 ACCLAIMED SHOW In the fantasy drama series The Leftovers Justin plays a small-town police chief…

MIDDLE: DJ SNAKE FT BIPOLAR SUNSHINE Whoa, there’s a new king of bass in town! Parisian DJ Snake has been making a splash on the music scene recently. He’s best known for co-producing Lil Jon’s hit Turn Down For What in 2013 and collaborated with Major Lazer and MØ last year on their chart-topper Lean On. Now the Get Low hitmaker is back with a club-banger that’s sure to be on repeat 24/7. The pop-tinged bass tune, featuring the vocals of UK singer Bipolar Sunshine, is the first single off Snake’s forthcoming debut album. Judging by this tune the album will be one of year’s biggest dance releases. DON’T WANNA BE (YOUR FRIEND): EUPHONIK & MI CASA This tune has been on our airwaves for a while and deserves to…

SHE remembers how icy cold her daughter’s arm felt when she touched it. Alarmed, she shook her lightly to try to wake her but then she noticed the girl’s eyes – open and glassy. It’s been three-and-a-half years since Carolina Viviers found her 13-year-old child lying dead in her bed but she remembers it as if it were yesterday. More than anything she’d like to know why Caroline – or Poppie as she was nicknamed at an early age – died. A toxicology report was long delayed and now that it’s finally ready it hasn’t been made public. Meanwhile doubts plague Carolina (39) day and night. If only she’d listened to Poppie, trusted her and believed her when she’d said she hadn’t done the thing the doctor said she must…

What would drive a top sportsperson, who has the world at their feet, to take such a foolhardy risk? Pretoria-based clinical psychologist Mark Southwood believes money is often a motivating factor. “I remember when Cronjé was on trial he said he had the desire to keep earning more and more money. I’d equate this behaviour to someone who gambles. Monetary gain is the end goal, despite the risks.” Southwood believes a lot of the sportspeople embroiled in match-fixing are aware of the risks but often believe they’re infallible. Some even seem to get a kick out of flirting with danger. “They’re not naive. When someone approaches you to throw a match you’re aware of the risks to your image and your reputation. You’re doing so willingly, and there’s an element…

According to the Klerksdorp doctor’s website he’s a GP with qualifications in biochemistry. Although he’s not a qualified plastic surgeon he does specialise in various cosmetic procedures. He denies that Sandra picked up an infection in the operating theatre or his consulting rooms. “There was no direct post-operative infection and she was continuously on antibiotics,” he told YOU in an email. “It clearly wasn’t dirty instruments because all theatre instruments and materials are sterilised and bought in sterilised packaging. “The right nipple had insufficient blood supply. This was identified during the operation and rectified. Unfortunately there was superficial tissue damage, but pictures in my possession show the [blood supply] had recovered, and that’s why I said circumstances were normal and [it] could take up to three months to fully normalise.”…

Model boys Move over Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham – our own Fish boys look set to make a splash on the international modelling scene as they follow in their model mom’s footsteps LUKE (17) and ZEKE FISH (14), sons of former soccer player MARK FISH and his ex-wife LOUI, have both recently done castings for international brands Loui couldn’t be prouder and has enjoyed seeing her boys “come alive in front of the camera” She says the whole experience has been one big “goosebump moment” for her, adding that the boys are both naturals “Everyone always asks me if the boys will play football like their dad, but it’s also nice to see them following in their mom’s footsteps I never had a daughter so to see them modelling is…

GWYNNIE & BRAD GWYNETH PALTROW (43) is clearly pretty smitten with TV producer boyfriend BRAD FALCHUK (44). The two, who hooked up in early 2015 but prefer to keep their relationship private, were snapped recently having lunch outside their luxury villa in Los Cabos, Mexico, and cuddling on a lounger on the beach. The Mortdecai star flaunted her hot bod in a white bikini while the American Horror Story producer showed off his equally fit physique in board shorts. The Oscar-winning actress, who’s set to launch an all-natural skincare range, shared a few photos on Instagram - one of her long, tanned legs which she captioned, “Pinch me”; and another of her and her 11-year-old daughter, APPLE, admiring the sunset. ‘I don’t care what people think about my weight’ JESSICA…

HEALTHY FINANCES You’re in your twenties, earning a salary and being inundated with “favourable” offers for loans. But beware: every time interest rates go up, your debt becomes more expensive. There’s good and bad debt. An example of good debt is a home loan as property is an asset and its value increases, while bad debt is a loan to buy an expensive smartphone, car or clothes – the value of these goods decreases from day one. By the time you pay off your debt the item costs much more than had you paid cash for it. FIND A FRIEND Build a relationship with a good financial adviser – someone who can look at the bigger financial picture and offer you sound advice, not someone who merely wants to sell…

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER Peter bumps into an old schoolfriend who starts talking about his well-paid job and expensive sports cars Then he pulls out his phone and shows Peter a photo of his wife “She’s beautiful, isn’t she?” he says “If you think she’s gorgeous you should see my girlfriend,” Peter responds “Why? Is she a stunner?” “No, she’s an optometrist ” DEVIL’S DUE Two little boys pinch a big bag of oranges from a neighbour They decide to go to a quiet place to share their loot equally and one of them suggests the nearby cemetery As they jump over the gate they drop two oranges but don’t bother to pick them up Minutes later a man on his way home from the pub passes the cemetery gate…

AQUARIUS 21 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY Going it alone can cause love upsets Your need to break free from perceived restrictions and to march to the beat of your own drum could cause upsets, particularly in your love-life Remember, no person is an island and love is a game of give and take If you thirst for knowledge or intellectual stimulation you probably needn’t seek further than your local community Browse the media for relevant exhibitions, workshops and events YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 43, 49, 10, 36, 27, 25 PISCES FEB 19 – MAR 20 You might get all starry-eyed over someone in your circle of friends Since you’ve always considered them to be nothing more than a friend it’s important to make sure it’s not an infatuation – especially because…

IF IT weren’t for the bones in the body – our skeleton – we wouldn’t be able to stay upright. Your skeleton gives shape to your body and protects your internal organs. Let’s look at different types of skeleton. ENDOSKELETON This is the type of skeleton humans (and other vertebrates) have The word “endo” means “inside” and provides a clue as to how this skeleton looks and works – it’s tucked away underneath the skin The most important job of the endoskeleton is to allow the body to stay upright and give it structure But it also has other functions: it provides a framework that muscles are attached to, and protects vital organs Just imagine how risky it would be to move around if you didn’t have a ribcage to…

IT’S a comforting fact of life. While time marches on and TV and movie stars start looking wrinkly, there’s one thing you can count on: your favourite cartoon characters will always look the same. It’s as if someone pressed the pause button – they never age a day. Even though The Simpsons is into its 27th season, Bart, Lisa and Maggie still look like they did when the show premiered in 1989. The same goes for other favourites such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who are still teens, and the Power Puff Girls, who’ve stayed five years old throughout the popular show, which is due to be rebooted this year. But if these characters were to age normally how old would they be today? We do the maths. Bart…

MANY brides dream of walking down the aisle in a figure-hugging fairytale gown but it was the last thing Sandra Visagie* wanted on her big day. Instead the 43-year-old clerk wore an oversized blouse when she recently got married. She wanted to cover herself up. The thought of wearing anything that would accentuate her breasts was too traumatic. Her nightmare began two months earlier when what should have been a routine breast-reduction procedure went horribly wrong. She picked up a serious infection and within two days of the operation the bacteria E. coli and Pseudomonas started eating away at the flesh around her nipples. By the time she received treatment she had a wound 7 cm deep. “I’m completely deformed,” Sandra says, talking to us from her home in Rustenburg,…

‘Dawn was my sweet, beautiful sister who lost her way’ KIM MATHERS RAPPER EMINEM (43) is apparently still in shock after the death of his former sister-in-law, DAWN SCOTT (41), of a suspected heroin overdose in a trailer park in Detroit, USA, last month Dawn, who was a long-term drug user and homeless at the time, is the twin sister of Eminem’s ex-wife, KIM MATHERS In a touching note posted on the website of the funeral home that hosted Dawn’s wake, Kim wrote, “Dawn was my sweet, beautiful sister who lost her way I kept a light lit for her hoping she’d find her way back to me I wish she was here so I could hug her and tell her I love her Half of me is gone and…

One Direction’s Harry Styles (22) better watch out – he may have some stiff competition for KENDALL JENNER’s attention in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo (30)! The sexy soccer player apparently “liked” a picture the 20-year-old model posted on Instagram recently in which she can be seen gazing into the camera while wearing blue contact lenses. She captioned the picture “trippy”. Hmm. MADONNA seriously dissed one of her former husbands on stage recently. A fan asked the 57-year-old pop star – who was performing in Nashville, USA – to marry him, calling himself the “c” word. Madge replied, “You are? Okay. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with that information. I’m looking for a husband, not a c**t. I already married a c**t.” Our bets are on Guy…

THE POWER OF MANY WITH us all having to save water it was bugging me that you turn the shower on and wait for the hot water to come through. I got a two-litre bottle and decided to run the hot-water tap in the basin next to the shower to collect the cold water. When the bottle is full, the water is just warm and this results in the shower running hot as soon as the tap is opened. Then those two litres saved from going down the drain are used to fill the kettle. Might not sound like much water saved in a day, but what if a million people joined me in doing this? I also decided to backwash my pool into a large wheelie bin instead of…

WHY ARE WOMEN SO CONTROLLING? Q I’m a successful businessman in my forties. I would like to be in a relationship but not necessarily with an eye to marriage. I’ve had many love affairs and have not walked away unscathed. My friends’ marriages have also shown me that after the wedding, romance disappears and the wife wants control over the husband. Because I’m a free spirit I function better in a relationship with emotional bonds but no strings attached. I love to spoil and pamper my partner but controlling women tend to put me off because they make me feel as if I’m their possession instead of being in the relationship simply because we enjoy being with each other. Why do women do this and want to change their partner…

JULIUS ZEBRA: RUMBLE WITH THE ROMANS! By Gary Northfield, Walker Books, e-book R132* Remember Gladiator, the movie about a man who is taken into slavery and finds himself fighting for his life in the Colosseum in Rome? Northfield has taken this basic plotline and put a delightfully unexpected spin on it The heroic gladiator in this book isn’t a beefy man but a skittish zebra named Julius After being captured on the African plains, Julius is taken to Rome – in the company of a grumpy lion and a smelly warthog – and becomes a very reluctant gladiator He has to deal with an array of indignities, including being referred to as a horse (many Romans haven’t seen a zebra before) But by a stroke of luck something happens that…

ACTING CV Nick’s credits include 2013 coming-of-age drama The Kings Of Summer, last year’s smash hit Jurassic World and the TV series Boardwalk Empire. GIRLS Admirers, take note: Nick (20) wants a girlfriend who “doesn’t take herself too seriously” and he’s a sucker for girls with dark hair. DATING His top first-date tip? “Don’t use too much tongue. And try to be spontaneous.” NEXT UP He’s starring in the sci-fi adventure The 5th Wave in which he and co-star Chloë Grace Moretz lead a troop of child soldiers to save the world from an alien invasion. “One of the things I like about the movie is the ultimate responsibility falls on the younger generation to fight back and to rebuild,” Nick says. CHILD STAR He was born in Seattle in…

They’re infections that can be picked up in hospitals, says Dr Jantjie Taljaard, head of the faculty of infectious diseases at the University of Stellenbosch. “E. coli is unfortunately found in hospitals, among other places, and Pseudomonas occurs almost exclusively in people with weak immune systems or as a hospital-acquired infection,” he says. It’s becoming a bigger problem in hospitals worldwide but isn’t necessarily an indication of poor hygiene, Dr Taljaard says. “Good hygiene practices are of course still important to prevent infections. These include sterilisation of reusable equipment and the use of sterile, disposable products. These factors are as a rule applied in all hospitals in South Africa.”…
