Are those Jack Russels?

Mr. Hilton you are a peach! I don’t know what it is about Barry Hilton but I think I managed to narrow it down to being able to say the funniest tings while keeping a dead-straight face. That always seems to get me surpressing my bladder in fear of involuntary making a mess on my couch. Take this new Savanna ad for example. The king of one-liners (no…not Horation Cain!!) does it again, coming up with the most unpredictable response to his faithful customer’s question about the Jack Russels. The way he manages to refrain from showing any kind of emotion when he speaks just cracks me up everytime! See what you think!

It’s been a while since I have seen our man Jack Parow getting busy in the media so I was ‘refreshed’ when I saw our main tjaaina walking around in the desert complaining about his shins being in pain in a voice that epitomises what it means to moan! I laughed so much and it reminded me of being in studion with him, having the privilage to listen to him doing his thing for hours. I don’t quite get the tendency to diss my main man Jack in the ad though … perhaps you can help me solve the riddle? Here is the video!

Nico Panagio stars in a new South African comedy

Upon reading the story line of the movie you realise that it has all the elements of a great movie. It has everything from humor to a great love story and has a great local feel to it, like the way the whole story revolves around a big advertising deal for a prominant wine exporter that has some very interesting demands of the successful candidate that will be handling his account.

Nico plays the role of an attractive model who walks in at just the right moment, to save a desperate Jaci from a tough situation. She has to be romantically involved with someone in order for her to get the advertising contract, and with her hectic work-aholic lifestyle, she has to improvise as there is not place for romance in her life. It seems like a weird demand on behalf of the client, but you have to go watch the movie to see all the twists and turns for yourself….

Support Nico and South African talent and lets pack the movie theaters! Here is a sneak peak!

I hope the folks in Cape Town know how to make Martini’s …

James Bond possibly shot in Cape Town

James Bond possibly shot in Cape Town

There are a few ways to ensure you put your country on the map; a) Host and win a Rugby World Cup … Check! b) Host the Soccor World Cup with the largest television audience of any other sporting event and welcome the world into the most amazing Soccer World Cup ever … Check! c) Get the most successful film franchise in history, James Bond, to film their latest addition in your country … possible check!

Yes, the news is that India was supposed to be the allocation for the next James Bond film, but according to sources the railway system cannot be disrupted to accommodate awesomeness which is James Bond. Right now the producers are turning their heads to Cape Town, a city renowned for its beauty and where the rich and famous come to play. I guess the Hollywood community is quite a close community because more and more international movies are being filmed here nowadays.

We are looking forward for the news to become official and that Daniel Craig will demolish his foes in the fairest Cape! What a proud moment this will be to add to our fast growing trophy cupboard!

Yes, this is how it is and how it will be for a few years to come, people will come up with a song, poem or joke, film it, post it on Youtube, and if it’s any good, you and me will go download the video. That is exactly what happened here with Lonehill Estate and their ‘treffer’ called “Daans!” The whole video was shot in a Fruit & Veg, which already tells you that you should not take this too serious, and they progress you see a guy doing bicep curls with two bags of apples… I just love it when the South Africans are creative and funky, hope you enjoy the video too!

Charlize Theron speaks Afrikaans on CNN – delightful!

If you are anything like me, you would have wondered at some stage whether our Charlize Theron can actually still speak in her native tongue … well I was pleasently surprized to see that the lady still know how to ‘represent’ when I found this video on Youtube. What impressed me even more was what she said, obviously she has been asked to speak Afrikaans before because as she clearly states, it is hard having a conversation with yourself on demand! I am pretty sure she would be able to do a perfect GPS Voice although it is pretty much a one-sided affair … does anyone have her contact details for us? :-)

Twitter followers of Steve Hofmyer would have been delighted to learn of the new that he decided to give the whole marriage thing another shot with his long term girlfriend, Janine van der Vyver. He made a quirky tweet about how Janine apparently didn’t believe that this was actually for real … and to be honest, who can blame her? Steve tweeted: “Janine hou die 1ste HALODA vas. Binne in,sal jy ook sien,is die uitnodiging: sal jy oorweeg om my vrou te word…Sy dink ek grap. Sê dan ja!”

Tarina Patel breaks through in Bollywood

Tarina Patel breaks through in Bollywood


As actor or actress, there are two places where you want to have a big name; Hollywood and Bollywood. In Hollywood we have the ever popular Charlize Theron who has shown the world exactly how talented us South Africans are, and now it is time for the rising of our next big star, but this time in Bollywood.

Tarina Patel … a name to remember. She made her appearance on our television screens during the last season of the popular “Idols”. She has raked up a huge fan base in Bollywood too, starring in three movies already called “Dhol”, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” and “Karzzzz”.

Let’s keep our eyes on this young star and keep on supporting our local talent. It is clear that talent flows thick and fast in our lovely country!

Emo in the new Virseker Ad – a must see!

You got to love some of the ads our South African advertising and media agencies come up with. It is also good to see how they make use of our best loved celebs. Just the other day we saw Riaan Cruywagen in a bubble bath surrounded by a bunch of girls in bikini's, telling us not to be 'haters yo!' ... Now, it is Emo Adams' time to come to the rescue when it is quite clear that the guys around the braai seems to be a bit lost in translation in the new Virseker ad. South African humor at it's best!
