#MCM (Man Crush Monday)

CAROL CESARIO, who is battling lung cancer, dreamed about meeting Jon Bon Jovi for 30 years. Surrounded by her family on Saturday, her dreams became reality when Bon Jovi appeared at the family’s table at the singer’s Soul Kitchen restaurant in Toms River. Cesario and her family were invited to the superstar’s second New Jersey restaurant for dinner, Cesario’s daughter, Rosie Skripkunis, wrote on Facebook. But before dinner was served, Bon Jovi appeared at the table and sat with the family for more than an hour.

“This has been one of the best days of our families [sic] life,” Skripkunis said on Facebook.

“Seeing my mom this happy filled me with so much joy.” In a video shared on Facebook, Bon Jovi is seen holding Cesario and talking to her closely. He gives her a peck on the cheek at one point [totes jealous!]. Bon Jovi’s establishments, Soul Kitchen and People’s Pantry, are aimed at addressing the needs of those struggling with hunger. At Soul Kitchen, patrons are asked to donate R150 for their meal or they can eat for free if they work in the kitchen.

#TBH (To Be Honest Tuesday)

BASED on some very in-depth research (i.e. staring at pictures of his extra-ripped action figure body for 10 minutes), we have estimated that Zac Efron’s body is approximately 106 percent muscle.

He’s clearly storing a whole bunch of extra muscles behind his other muscles. However, don’t think this jacked-up version of Zac Efron will be around forever. There is the possibility that one day you will see a shirtless picture of Zac and his body will be missing a matching set of bulgy biceps, a washboard ab area, and whatever those weird muscles on the side of your body are called. You see, while walking the red carpet for his latest movie, Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates, Zac confessed to Us Weekly that he’d be willing to say goodbye to his rock-hard body and get heavy for the right role. “I would love to gain weight and play an aging musio. That’d be an awesome transformation.” Hear that, Sir Elton? (JK, Sir Elton.

We dig you!) While we would love to see science figure out a way to make Zac gain weight, we don’t think it’s possible. And, to be honest, we’d prefer you stay just the way you are, Zac.

THE house where Princess Diana grew up is helping orphaned children grow toward a brighter future.

Countess Karen Spencer, who married Diana’s brother, Earl Charles Spencer, is temporarily turning the 500-year-old CaringCountess Althorp estate into # a charity B&B for high-priced donors. Guests will contribute between R350 000 and R600 000 to spend one of three weekends at the country house, which features a priceless art collection, a 10 000-book library, and 13 000 acres for strolling. The money will go to Spencer’s charity — Whole Child — which is working to improve childhood development for orphans. It’s not just the wealthy who have a chance to stay on the estate. As part of the campaign, six other people will earn a special weekend for two by winning either an essay or video contest, or by raising the most funds for Whole Child by September 25, or by tallying the largest number of contributors. Spencer acknowledged Diana’s charitable work, and added, “There have been a lot of incredibly powerful and rabble-rousing women as part of this family,” she told NBC News. “So I’m very proud to join the line.”

ON March 21, 2006, a simple messaging service was born with a five-word tweet: “Just setting up my twttr.” Fast forward 10 years.

Tweets now move billions of dollars in the stock market, have delivered play-by-play of the killing of the FBI’s most wanted terrorist and allow planet Earth to communicate directly with humans and machines residing in outer space. The official name of Twitter’s bird is Larry. Yes, his name is Larry Bird. The iconic little fellow can actually be drawn quite easily as you can see in the picture.

COREY SAUCIER, born May 19, 1988, in Houston, Texas, is an American model. Raised in Spring, Texas, Saucier’s family moved from California to Texas right before he was born. Growing up the active type, Corey join numerous sporting teams from football to baseball and basketball along the way. He stuck with football and baseball up until his freshman year in college. He then decided to focus all his time on academics – becoming a business management major in the McCoy Business School and having just finished his third year. Prompted by the urging of friends, Saucier put his studies on hold to give modelling a try. He bought himself a ticket to New York and started right away. So we guess all we can say is, “Thank you, Corey’s friends, from the bottom of our hearts!”

Y favourite reads this week are…  It takes all types of people to make our world go around, and this week we tell you the story on pages 24 and 25 of a couple who drifted apart after years of marriage. They eventually decided not to get divorced like most people would but, instead, the husband fulfilled his lifelong desire to become a woman. Yup, you read right. And finally finding the happiness she always wanted was what saved their marriage in the end!  I find the story on pages 26 and 27 incredibly sad. Arya weighs a staggering 192kgs – and he’s only 10.

ELIE WIESEL, the Auschwitz survivor who became an eloquent witness for the 6-million Jews murdered in World War II and who, more than anyone else, seared the memory of the Holocaust on the world’s conscience, died on Saturday at his home in Manhattan. He was 87.

President Obama called him a ‘living memorial’. “He raised his voice, not just against antiSemitism, but against hatred, bigotry and intolerance in all its forms,” the president said in a statement. “He implored each of us, as nations and as human beings, to do the same, to see ourselves in each other and to make real that pledge of ‘never again.’” In his Nobel speech, Wiesel said that what he had done with his life was to try ‘to keep memory alive’. “We must fight those who would forget.

Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices,” he said. He most certainly left the world a better place than he found it.

WHENEVER Kourtney Kardashian and a beach meet, it simply is a match made in heaven! The reality star was recently spotted parading along Miami’s own namesake beach in two equally flattering bathing suits. The plunging black number in particular showed off a derrière most girls would kill for.

ROM Kim Kardashian’s butt pads to Hollywood’s sex addicts, this week’s headlines are really full of surprises, smiles and OMGs!

Meet Hollywood’s Sex Addicts

OKAY, so when it comes to our celebrities, nothing really surprises us. But what if we told you we have some inside information on Tinseltown’s sex addicts? Okay, so now that’s we’ve got your attention… RadarOnline recently dropped some names, and while some are obvious, others took us by surprise.  Charlie Sheen: Of course Charlie was first on the list – it’s no secret he loves the ladies, from prostitutes to models and more.  David Duchovny: Californication star David Duchovny admitted, “I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” after splitting from wife Tea Leoni.  Kanye West: While we didn’t think we’d see this name on the list, we guess it makes sense, considering the fact that he is now married to a woman who became famous for having a sex tape. The rapper is a self-confessed sex addict, who once told Details magazine that his ‘drive comes from having a sexual addiction at a really young age’.  Lindsay Lohan: So she’s in love with her Russian billionaire now and enjoying a more peaceful life – but that doesn’t mean she’s still not hooked. Lohan’s ex, Riley Giles, a snowboarder she met in rehab, accused the star of being a sex addict and a nymphomaniac.

David Duchovny  Russell Brand: Katy Perry’s ex-husband has admitted to being addicted to heroin, cocaine and booze – and sex compulsion, of course.  Jesse James: Sandra Bullock’s ex was busted for having multiple mistresses in 2010, while still married to the star. He later checked himself into the Sierra Tuscon facility, which specialises in sex and drug addiction.  Colin Farrell: He has struggled with both sex and drug addiction over the years, and an X-rated tape of him with model Nicole Narain was once leaked, too.

Farrell checked into rehab for help in 2005.  Tiger Woods: Well, the world knows how many ladies Woods has been involved with, thanks to being busted for having multiple mistresses while still married to Elin Nordegren.  Amy Winehouse: While we know she had a problem with substance abuse, it seems Amy was into other wild stuff too.

Her ex, Alex Haines, told The Daily Mail that the singer was a sex and drug addict, and either needed to be high or having sex.  Rob Lowe: In his memoir Love Life, the actor admitted to his struggles with sex and drug addiction. He discusses a time in 1988, when a tape was released of the actor having sex with a 16-year-old.  Mel B: She doesn’t just sing and flaunt her abs – she likes to spend time in the bedroom, too. Sources reveal the former Spice Girl has been accused by many past lovers of sex addiction.  Dean McDermott: That’s Mr Tori Spelling, in case you were wondering. While the couple are still married, McDermott went to rehab in 2014 for ‘personal issues’, which he later admitted were alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, and sex addiction that led him to cheat on his famous wife.  Michael Douglas: His ex-wife, Diandra Luker, claimed that his alleged sex addiction was the cause for their split. Maybe someone should ask current wife Catherine Zeta-Jones…  Bill Clinton: While wife Hillary Clinton has focused all her attention on politics these days, there was a time she wanted to hide away from the world after finding out her husband had an affair and made headlines for his sex scandal. Sources have since revealed that Bill, in fact, has a sexual addiction.

Kim Denies Wearing Butt Pads

WHILE there’s no need to argue the fact that Kim Kardashian has one big booty, recent pics of her appearing to be wearing butt pads have made headlines – and she’s not happy. While we’re used to seeing her rather large behind in tight outfits, this time things didn’t look quite right. And after being accused of boosting her derriere with padding, she’s hitting back at fans and the media, claiming she uses shapewear instead. After making headlines with the awkward photo of her booty in a pencil skirt, Kim, 35, attempted to set the record straight.

Taking to her website, Kimkardashianwest.com, she wrote: “A couple years ago, I wore a skirt in Miami that was totally sheer. I had no idea it was SO see-through on my butt. I definitely never want that to happen again, so now I always wear shapewear.

Sometimes, they have a sheer cutout like these capris from Body Wrap, so that’s actually what you’re seeing in the picture...So, the fact is: I don’t wear butt pads! At this point, I think everyone has seen my butt naked and knows I don’t need them, LOL!” she concluded. Okay, maybe not butt pads, but implants on the other hand...

SHE might be on the cover of magazines these days, but Caitlyn Jenner isn’t 100 percent satisfied with her new look. The star reportedly wants to undergo extreme foot surgery as her big-size feet don’t allow her to wear pretty, feminine shoes. Sources have revealed that she’s reducing her foot size, because, just like every other woman on the planet, Jenner has developed a love for shoes – sadly, shoes which don’t fit her size 13 feet. Insiders say she has signed up for the so-called Cinderella surgery which shortens toes in order reduce one’s shoe size. “Caitlyn hates that she can’t wear certain styles of shoes because they make her feel like a giant ‘L’ shape,” says the source, adding, “She first heard about aesthetic foot surgery years ago when her daughters were talking about it. Now that she’s finally able to wear women’s shoes out and about, she’s desperate to make her feet smaller and more feminine and remembered the surgery.” Maybe that’s why she was left out of stepdaughter Khloé Kardashian’s recent birthday bash? As previously reported, Jenner’s relationship with the Kardashians is at its worst, and it’s no secret that Khloé has had a rocky relationship with Jenner since her transition. So after being left out of the celebrations recently, insiders say she’s feeling rather lonely. Sorry Cait, we don’t think it’s because of your big feet!

IGHTEEN horses thundered down the 2 200m track on a cold, breezy day in Durban to capture the elusive title of the 120th running of the Durban July, while the 2016 winner went on to pocket a whopping payout of over R2.25-million: “And the winner is… The Conglomerate, a super star indeed.”

For the rest, it was all about the outstanding fashions designed by the best designers, up-and-coming designers and the ‘do-it-yourself’ designers. Congratulations to Gold Circle’s Gill Mostert for organising yet another fabulous day for the 50 000 fashion pundits and punters who packed the venue.

It was ‘Hats On’ to all of you for making this day the fashion event of the year. There is just no other like it in Africa. Fashions ranged from one end of the scale to the other, bringing applause, smiles, laughter, amazement and congratulations to those who were chosen as the best in their designated categories. With fantastic prizes up for grabs, they strutted their stuff on stage in that hope that their outfits and designs would be the fashion winners on the day.

The organisers left nothing to chance and pulled out all the stops to ensure that every detail of their theme was highlighted to the full. Outstanding décor, amazing cuisine, beautiful girls and men dressed to perfection mixed and mingled with the who’s who in their marquee. And after-parties of course – which continued well into the early hours of the following morning – have become a major draw card while. Top overseas and top local artists like Chris Brown, Da L.E.S, Nasty C, Tinashe, Riky Rick, Black Coffee, Joocy and Big Nuz – to name but a few – were booked to perform in various marquees. Depending on how much cash you had to spend, or who you’d have liked to entertain you for the evening, VIP tickets – with all the trimmings – could have set you back anything from R1 800 to R3 700!

As the dust settles, one wonders what next year’s Durban July will bring. Designers, you have another year to prepare your outstanding fashion which will once again wow the country. And we can’t wait!

THE outspoken comedian has put a ring on it for the second time.

ONGRATULATIONS are certainly in order for Russell Brand and his model girlfriend, Laura Gallacher, as the British star has popped the question, just months before Laura is set to give birth to their first child, and four years after his first divorce from pop star, Katy Perry.

According to reports, the couple held a ‘hippy gathering’ at their house in London to tell close friends and family the exciting news, where guests reportedly got to hang out with their giant tortoise called, well, Turtle... They wanted to keep their announcement as tight-lipped as possible considering the way his high-profile relationship with Katy ended back in 2012.

A source told a UK newspaper, “Russell didn’t want a big fuss this time after his very public relationship with Katy. Laura is also keen to keep their romance low-key, so the small, intimate party was very much

in keeping with their ‘home-bods’ image. As they are becoming parents, Russell wanted to do the right thing and make Laura his wife. She’s delighted he asked.”

This is a second shot at love for Russell and Laura.

The pair previously dated from 2007 until 2009.

Russell then met Katy in mid-2009 on the set of his film, Get Him To The Greek. The two got engaged on New Year’s Eve that same year during a trip to India and married in October 2010.

Though the rumours were never confirmed, it was alleged Russell ended his 14-month marriage to Katy via text message. Katy went on to date John Mayer on-and-off for over three years and is currently dating actor Orlando Bloom, while Russell dated Hugh Grant’s ex girlfriend, Jemima Khan, for a year, before rekindling his romance with Laura in 2015. Their baby is due sometime in September/ October.

Richard asked the Dalai Lama to bless the union

ICHARD GERE has fled to Europe to be closer to his Spanish socialite girlfriend, Alejandra Silva. Things are said to be so serious between the 66-year-old and 33-year-old that Richard is even planning to pop the question. But the only problem is that the actor’s R3-billion divorce settlement with estranged wife, Carey Lowell, could ruin his chance of happiness.

“Richard wants to finally finish his divorce from Carey, which has dragged on for 33 months now, so that he can marry Alejandra and have a baby with her. They’ve been dating for quite some time, and he’s very much in love with her,” revealed a close source, who added it was Richard’s visit with Pope Francis that spurred him into action. “Even though Richard’s a devout Buddhist, he was overwhelmed by meeting the Pope. He realised he needed to move on with his life.”

As was previously reported in February, Richard also plans to say ‘I do’ to Alejandra in a mountaintop ceremony in Tibet.

“Richard believes the success of his marriage hinges on staging it in Meeting Pope Francis his spiritual homeland.

He’s asked his close friend, the Dalai Lama, to bless the union,” dished one insider.

And while Alejandra might have finalised her own divorce from American mining heir Govind Friedland at the end of last year, the divorce proceedings for Richard and Carey aren’t going as smoothly.

The former couple was both spotted leaving a Manhattan court in late April to continue hashing out their divorce settlement.

Although they have worked out custody of their 16-year-old son, Homer, they’re still battling it out over money.

“Richard’s divorce from Carey has dragged on and on. He’s worn out and desperately wants to move on with Alejandra.

He’s even slashed the price on his Hamptons property in half, which he’s desperate to get rid of so he can be move to Europe with his ladylove and live a quieter life,” the source added.

The Pretty Woman star began dating Carey Lowell, of Law & Order fame, back in 1995. It wasn’t until after the birth of their son, Homer, in February 2000 that they decided to marry and eventually wed in November 2002. They separated in September 2013 after 11 years of marriage. In April 2014, Richard dated Top Chef host, Padma Lakshmi, for six months and began dating current girlfriend, Alejandra, in June 2015.

SIZZLING&SHOCKING THEY’RE flaunting their assets on beaches around the world.

BY ANGELA BEKIARIS

T’S that time of the year again ‒ you know, the time when celebrities get into their tiny bikinis and flaunt everything they have in front of the paparazzi, after months of training and starvation. But while some look like they’re catwalk ready, others, well, should maybe leave more to the imagination next time. So who’s looking hot, and who really is not? Check it out…

Karrueche Tran, Christina Milian & Shaun Ross

PICS:WWW.ELITEPHOTOAGENCY.COM / GREATSTOCK / PANMEDIA

WOWZA! Are we looking at additional cast of Baywatch? We couldn’t take our eyes off these bodies ‒ and while Christina Milian covered up a little in a full-costume, we have to say those curves were enough to get anyone so very, very jelly. Enjoying some beach sports, Milian and Karrueche Tran got everyone’s attention as they flaunted their toned figures and sexy tattoos while sweating it out on the sand. As for Shaun Ross ‒ the professional fashion model, actor and dancer, who is best known for being the first male albino pro model, certainly had his work cut out for him, competing against the ladies for attention. You need to lose the shirt, Shaun!

G Beach BODS Richie Sambora & Daughter Ava

FORMER Bon Jovi star Richie Sambora was spotted enjoying some time with his daughter Ava ‒ his child with ex-wife Heather Locklear ‒ and his girlfriend Orianthi Panagaris in St Bart’s, France. And while there was once a time we drooled over the sexy rocker, we’re happy that grown-up Ava looks more like her Hollywood mom than dad. Looks like it might be one beer too many these days, Richie... And perhaps you could invest in a more stylish, and ageappropriate, pair of sunglasses? Just saying...

Lindsay Lohan BEING in love has definitely worked to Lindsay Lohan’s advantage. Not only has she been smiling from ear to ear over the last few months, but she’s looking healthy too. And after seen her posing in her plunging swimsuit on the beach recently, we’d say she’s back with a bang!

Although, while we’re being honest, she could do with a bit of a tan… But hey, that’s Lindsay for you. And with her confidence like it is these days, perhaps not even a tan could make her look sexier than she does right now.

Mel B IT’S not the first time and it definitely won’t be the last that we see Mel B flaunting her killer abs in a bikini.

The star was seen enjoying some time on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain recently with her husband Stephen Belafonte, and just like Stephen with his hands, we couldn’t keep our eyes off her toned body and sexy booty. Talk about spicy!

Britney Spears

Michael J Fox

OKAY, so she’s got a little tummy ‒ but let’s not forget she’s also got two kids. There’s no doubt Britney Spears is looking better than she has in years, and we can’t allow a bad sitting position to fault her physique. Spotted chilling by the pool in Los Angeles recently, it was good to see her taking some time off from her busy Vegas schedule. And we love the sexy bikini, too ‒ although a full costume next time won’t hurt.

THE actor was seen enjoying some time with his family in Positano, Italy recently ‒ which we’re glad to see after recently hearing that his Parkinson’s has got worse. Looking rather chilled, and spending most of his time with his shirt on, we did manage to get a glimpse of the actor shirtless ‒ and all things considered, apart from a little belly, he’s looking pretty good. Of course, he too needs a tan but hey, it’s still only mid-summer, so we will give him a break this time.

Kourtney Kardashian

SHE is just one hot mama! She’s got it, and she knows it ‒ and that’s why she can’t stop flaunting it these days. This pic, which the star posted on Instagram with the caption: “sun vibes” recently, may just have ex Scott Disick crying all the way into his next rehab visit.

GORGEOUS!

Kate Moss & Nikolai von Bismarck

THEY recently enjoyed some time away in Venice ‒ and we recently enjoyed the candy. Well, Kate Moss’ candy, at least. While she seems to have a little belly these days ‒ and we spotted some cellulite, too ‒ the former supermodel is still turning heads in her skimpy bikini. As for her beau, Nikolai von Bismarck…

How about a new pair of shorts for starters? Oh, and some extra sun while on vacay?

Chris Brown

ENJOYING some time by the pool in Ibiza with some friends, as well as a fun quad bike ride, Chris Brown had us forgetting all our problems. Well, almost. That toned physique and those sexy red shorts are enough to get anyone’s heart racing… We know ours is still trying to recover. But of course, recovery is always going to be a factor when Chris enters the equation...

SPOTTED filming scenes for their reality show Geordie Shore at a pool party in Kavos, the cast flaunted enough to get our jaws dropping. From boobs popping out of bikinis, to sexy abs and loads of tattoos, they definitely got our attention.

However, we have to say, this time the guys stole our hearts more ‒ ladies, maybe a little less booze and little more gym in the next season?

OU’D think after having six kids, and then acquiring six stepchildren – and we won’t even get started on the grandchildren – that Kris Jenner would be all mothered out. But sources have revealed that she had in fact frozen some of her eggs a few years back, and could be planning on using a surrogate to carry her seventh child.

Jenner shocked the family recently when she told them that she had frozen her eggs, and hasn’t ruled out having more kids just yet.

“Everyone’s hoped she was joking, but she wasn’t,” says a family insider, adding, “When her renewal came up to keep her eggs on ice, it totally got Kris thinking how amazing it would be to have another baby.”

But would she choose ex boyfriend Corey Gamble as her baby daddy, or is she trying to find the perfect dad for her new addition to the already huge family?

“She started toying with everyone, saying she said she had no idea who she’d choose as a sperm donor,” reveals the insider, adding, “The family was freaking out that she could select someone they all hate.

Plus, adds the source, “Just the thought of another Kardashian sibling has the entire family terrified.”

ORTH WEST recently celebrated her third birthday and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s latest addition, Saint, has just turned seven months old and although Kim is happier than ever, the one thing she can’t seem to look past is her weight. The reality star is obsessed with getting back to her pre-baby body and has now embarked on an extreme diet which allows her to consume just 800 calories a day!

Kim hadn’t been shy to talk about her exercise regimen and her healthy 1 700-calorie diet since she gave birth to Saint in December, but sources reveal the star hasn’t been entirely honest with us. “Kim’s totally obsessed with slimming right now,” a friend of hers says. “She eats the tiniest portions of food and is constantly calorie counting. She’s down to around 800 calories a day and working out on an empty stomach to burn fat.” Kim is reportedly constantly hungry but believes that it will all be worth it once she looks her best once again.

“Kim is dealing with the hunger pangs by drinking special teas that are appetite suppressants,” the source adds. “She’s also drinking this liquid that turns into a gel in your stomach and tricks it into feeling fuller. Then she’s also going to bed early most evenings to stave off

temptation and sleep through the hunger. Kim’s trying everything. She hit her pre-baby weight of 61 kilos back in May, but she’s been on a mission to hit 53 kilos as that was the lightest she was before having children.”

It’s also been reported that Kim spent over R2-million on surgery after Saint’s birth. She reportedly had a boob job, liposuction and a tummy tuck to lessen the effect having children had on her body. “She says there’s been some stubborn fat on her body that can’t seem to be shifted,” the source dishes. “She’s having fat melting treatments to blitz it, and laser treatment for the skin because she wants to dominate Independence Day news with bikini shots.”

Kim opened up about her new pre-baby weight goal in an interview back in May and has been working nonstop to ensure she succeeds. “My butt and hips are the last to go, but I’m not stopping,” she said.

Naturally, Kanye isn’t happy that Kim is focusing all her attention on losing weight. Things have reportedly become so strained between them that they’re now sleeping in separate beds. Kanye, however, is desperate for Kim to get pregnant again as he believes it will reignite the flame they had with their two previous pregnancies. “Kanye will not stop talking about having another baby. Kim feels like he’s not

listening to her when she told him over and over she won’t go through another pregnancy.”

Although Kim is obsessed with her children, she made no secret of the fact that she had a tough time with both pregnancies and that she doesn’t think another child is in her future. “Pregnancy is the worst experience of my life,” she said recently. “It would be a really dangerous environment for me if I were to get pregnant again.” Obviously weight gain was also something she struggled with during her pregnancy and we’re confident that this also plays a role in her decision not to have another child. “She’s miserable when she puts on weight,” the source continues. “Her whole concern is tied up in having a hot body and she’s not willing to go through it again. But Kanye has pushed her so far that she’s given him an ultimatum: if he wants another baby its surrogacy or divorce.”

We totally get that Kim had a rough pregnancy and wouldn’t want to go through it again as it endangers her life. However, her dangerous 800-calorie diet is just as harmful and we hope that she sees this sooner rather than later. She still has a hot body despite the bit of extra weight and we would hate if something dangerous happened to her as she strives for physical perfection. It’s really a dangerous obsession.

BULLYING isn’t exclusive to humans, it would seem. A petrified grizzly bear got into a quarrel with a rival at a wildlife park in Bern, Switzerland, and fled, climbing up a nearby tree while the other patiently waited at the bottom.

“They have to establish who is in charge and who is at the bottom of the pile and lots of mock fights and shows of aggression break out,” explains park manager Cornelia Mainini. “This does not mean they are harmless because these are powerful animals and could easily kill one another with a single blow,” she added.

SAVED THEIR

MARRIAGE! A S husband and wife, Justin and Julie Smithies had drifted apart. In fact, the couple, who had three children, was on the brink of divorce ‒ when a startling announcement by Justin ended up saving their marriage.

The marine engineer revealed to his wife that he was in fact a woman born into a male body and wished to undergo gender reassignment surgery.

His plans to transition to his correct female gender could have spelled the end for the couple – but incredibly wife Julie came to terms with the idea and the couple decided to remain together.

Now proud Julie says her husband’s gender reassignment surgery saved their marriage. They are so happy, they even plan to renew their wedding vows.

Julie, 42, says, “We were both unhappy. We had grown so

24 PEOPLE

far apart we both thought the marriage was over. But once Justine was honest about who she was and I had time to get my head around it we started to grow close again.”

She adds, “I loved her as a person, not for her gender, so once I got over the shock I realised that didn’t have to change. Her newfound confidence and happiness made her a joy to be around and naturally our marriage has improved as a result. She is now the life and soul of the party. She is confident, caring and brave. Who wouldn’t want to be married to a person like that. It was hard at the time, but now I feel very lucky.”

Justine has also become a campaigner on transgender issues and is telling her story to help educate on trans issues and stop the use of phrases like ‘sex swap’ and ‘sex change’ in relation to gender reassignment surgery, terms which she says are inaccurate and outdated.

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

THEY had drifted apart as a couple because he had a secret he hadn’t shared with his wife.

Justine says, “For years I was in denial and scared of telling Julie because I didn’t want to lose her and the kids. But our marriage was in tatters and I could not continue living a lie.

She was upset at first, but once she had calmed down she was so supportive and now we are closer that ever. Our family might seem unconventional but we have never been happier. I never swapped or changed my gender. I have always been a woman, just parts of my body didn’t develop as female and surgery has corrected those physical issues.”

Their incredible story began in 1991 when Julie, then 16, was introduced to Justin, then 19, through friends.

The following year they moved in together and their daughter Samantha was born in 1993. Four years later they had a son, Cameron, and got married. Two daughters soon followed.

The couple’s wedding day

The family, before Justine transitioned looked after their three children.

Over the years they began to grow apart and both wondered if the marriage was worth saving.

Things reached a head in 2007 when, after another fight, Justin blurted out to Julie something that stopped her in her tracks.

Julie explains, “Justin told me he couldn’t carry on and pointed to our PC. The screen was open on a page about people with gender confusion. Justin told me to read and everything clicked into place.”

Julie was shocked that her husband had never admitted having questioned his gender before. At first she felt betrayed, as if their life had been a lie for the last 15 years.

But after her anger subsided she tried to understand when Justin explained he still felt the same about her, male or female. He just wanted to transition to his correct female gender to match the woman he was inside.

Justine says, “I expected to lose her and the kids but Julie began to understand and accept that I still loved her as

much as ever, and that my gender didn’t have to change any of that.”

The couple told their children, who supported them and grew closer as Julie helped Justine prepare to transition.

Most family and friends accepted their relationship, though some found it odd.

Julie says, “I told them it would be more odd to abandon the person you love when they need you most.”

Together they saw their GP about Justine transitioning and she began talking hormones.

She was nervous about work and feared losing her job, but to her surprise was welcomed and supported.

Justine says, “I was relieved and proud at the same time.

I work in a male environment on board ships in a small rural community and I admit I was worried.”

In January 2013 she had facial surgery to neaten her jaw line and reduce her brow bone. Three months later she underwent full gender reassignment surgery.

But just weeks later their 15-year-old son Cameron died after a tragic fall and Justine’s transition was unimportant.m Justine says, “Together we grieved. It was horrendous.

But we decided ultimately we owed it to Cameron to try to live our lives and make him proud.”

The following October Justine had a breast augmentation to complete her physical transformation.

The couple then discussed renewing their wedding vows.

Justine had worn a suit at their last wedding and the couple wanted to say ‘I do’ in beautiful dresses.

But Scottish law meant the only way they could register their marriage as a same sex marriage would be to divorce and remarry.

The couple were not wiling to do this and are still campaigning for the technicality under Scottish law to be changed.

As soon as it is – like it has been in England – they will renew their vows.

Justine says, “The last seven years have been hard and yes, many couples may not have survived.

But we are more in love than ever.”

The couple are now both grandparents to their daughter Samantha’s two children and she is expecting a third this summer.

Julie says, “There is so much to look forward to, another grandbaby and hopefully renewing our vows when the law is changed. Justine’s transition was the best thing that ever happened to us.”

Justine now gives talks on transgender rights and works with companies and universities to promote equality.

She says, “I never imagined my life taking this direction but I am very proud of what we have achieved...I would like to see the use of phrases like ‘sex swap’ and ‘sex change’ confined to the bin. I never swapped my sex, I have always been a woman, and now my body reflects my correct gender.”

ORBITING INTO A DIFFERENT WEIGHT CLASS

PARENTS of the world’s most obese child are helpless to change the situation.

Arya weighs a staggering 192kg ‒ and he’s only 10!

facebook.com/peoplemagsa

TOLD BY ANONYMOUS / EDITED BY EUGENIA BOOI

T

EN-YEAR-OLD Arya Permana recently had bestowed upon him one of the most unbecoming titles a person, let alone a child, could receive: the boy from West Java in Indonesia now ranks as the world’s fattest child and his parents are desperate to save his life.

Arya has unfortunately succumbed to a trend typified by the snares that a modern developing country faces and now weighs in at an astonishing 192kg – hardly a healthy weight for a boy his age. His mighty appetite has him gobbling up to five meals a day, some of those enough for two fully grown adults, and he has to wear a sarong as clothes don’t fit him anymore.

He began life as a normal healthy baby boy of 3.2kg, but by the time he reached the age of two he began packing on the weight. Still, his parents took little notice as they were just happy that they were raising a ‘healthy’ child.

“He was fatter than my first son and other children in the village, but we did not think it was a matter of concern.

We were happy to see him fuller and considered him to be a happy, healthy child,” his mother, Rokaya, says.

But as time passed, Arya grew alarmingly large and soon his mother came to realise that her child’s size should be of genuine concern to her. “It was only a few years later when he bloated and his weight went out of control that we realised he was suffering from a disorder and needed medical attention. My son is growing up at a rapid rate and I am worried for his health. I do not know any other way to stop him from gaining more weight than to give him less food.”

Most shocking of all is that local doctors did not find anything abnormal or alarming about his weight and simply referred both Rokaya and her husband, Ade, to doctors in larger towns or cities. This worrying dismissal of a serious disorder can be attributed to a cultural view entrenched within thesocietal strata in Southeast Asia – bigger is better.

His father, Ade, who makes R2 000 a month, says doctors asked them to take him to better hospitals if they thought he needed medical attention. “I have spent money beyond my capacity on his treatment but I am a poor farmer and making ends meet is a big task for me,” he says.

Typical to certain Asian cultures, some parents believe that a fashionably plump child with chubby cheeks is something to be proud of. In fact, a child with extra girth can be associated with wealth and parents worry more about raising a malnourished youngster.

As Indonesia – like many other countries – comes to grips with the global rat-race, where ‘faster and cheaper’ regrettably means ‘better’, lower to middle-class income households, even rural villages like Arya’s, are left with little choice but to make do with inexpensive processed goods, cooking oils and high-fat foods.

implications his weight carries, Arya’s life is suffering in other important facets essential to a child’s upbringing.

Practically immobile, Arya now cannot attend school as he is only able to walk 30 to 40 steps at a time. “He can only take small steps before he loses balance. I wish to see my son studying and playing with other kids in the neighbourhood,” his mother says.

He spends his time confined to his mother’s home playing video games, only associating with his siblings. He can no longer bath normally, and his mother needs to rinse him down or wash him in an outdoor pool, rather embarrassingly, in plain sight.

Arya’s parents are now tasked, not only for the sake of his health, but also for the impecunious state the family finds itself in, to curb his eating habits. In keeping up with his appetite, Ade has had to spend massive amounts for a family who lives frugally.

“I have insufficient money to buy food to fulfil his large appetite. I borrow money so that he can eat. Of course, I cannot keep him starving,” his mother says.

“I am exhausted now and I cannot afford expensive hospitals. But I hope to see my son perfectly normal one day,” adds Ade.

‘MY son is growing up at a rapid rate and I am worried for his health. I do not know any other way to stop him from gaining more weight than to give him less food.’

Arya is too big to be bathed normally, and has to be rinsed out in the open

My Stories

VEN though I have heard many stories about witchcraft, I never believe them to be true, until I witnessed it with my own eyes. In 2009, my family and I were woken up at 02h00 by loud banging sounds at the kitchen door; we all thought it was people trying to rob us. When we got to the door we were so disturbed to realise that it was an old woman trying to forcefully exit the house. We switched the lights on and instead of asking her what she was doing, we stood there in a state of shock and disbelief.

All the doors were still locked and my brother had all the keys in his hand.

While we all stood there speechless, the old woman started talking about all the things she was sent to do in our home. I was eight months pregnant with my first child, and what startled me the most was the fact that my baby was part of her plans ‒ she wanted to harm her before she was born. She seemed lost in her own world, not caring what we might do to her. It felt like a never-ending nightmare to me. When asked how she entered the house, she dug into her pockets and held up a snuff container which had some muti inside. ‘This is what we use to enter people’s homes’, she admitted.

As I was sitting in the chair looking at her, she kept pointing at my tummy, saying that my baby was her target and her master would punish her for not fulfilling it. I was shaking in fear, saying a little prayer in my heart for me and my unborn child.

‘HER “master” was a traditional healer who was teaching her to become a sangoma.’

Just then, her ‘master’ came in with another strange woman, and the old woman went silent. You could tell from the look on her face that she was freaked out.

Apparently her ‘master’ was a traditional healer who was teaching her to become a sangoma.

As we sat there puzzled, the woman who came with the healer told us that the old woman was mentally unstable, so whatever she said to us should not be taken seriously. The only problem was that the old woman was found in the house without opening any doors or windows, and she made more sense than the other woman.

And as for the old woman’s ‘master’, he never even uttered a single word to anyone. He came in with his head bent down. Then they all left.

My mother took me to church so that the pastor could pray for me and my baby. Even though I put my faith in the Lord, that day haunted me for a very long time.

I spent many sleepless nights asking myself if my baby would be harmed.

To my amazement, my little girl was born on February 18, exactly a month after the incident took place. She was a healthy child, which was something I never thought would happen. The most valuable lesson I’ve learnt was the fact that no one is above God’s power.

I thank God for securing my child’s life and I hope that the traditional healer has left her evil ways.”

‘LOVE HAS SEEN ME

THROUGH THIS’

T

WELVE years ago, people magazine reported on the story of Durban-based Tamazin Marais, a young woman whose life plans were altered dramatically when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 23. She had just been married to the man she thought was the love of her life, and the world was her oyster. We catch up with the incredibly brave woman, now 36, a single mother of two young children, and still coming to terms with the illness that has left her physically weakened, but emotionally and psychologically stronger than ever before.

“Since the age of 10, people thought I had been

I had gone for blood tests, but nothing was out of the ordinary as far as doctors were concerned. By the time I turned 21, the ‘migraines’, as I thought they were, had become unbearable.

In that time, I met a man whom I knew I was going to marry. We started dating three years after Matric – we had gone to the same school in Durban – and we were married not soon after. Life was, I thought, perfect, and headed in the right direction.

And then, just three months after our wedding, I fell while I was playing with my younger brothers and hit my head. The pain as a result was unbelievable. It was so intense that I couldn’t stand, my vision was blurred

When my illness returned, I was asked for a divorce. So, while dealing with the whole thing, I went through a heartbreaking divorce and I was now a mother of two.

Spring-Clean Your Finances!

EVERY now and then we decide to spring clean our homes. But, have you ever considered spring cleaning your finances?

BY VANESSA PAPAS

K

HLOÉ KARDASHIAN is the queen of spring clean. She’s even developed an app dedicated to keeping her home organised.

Despite owning over a hundred pair of shoes, Fergie organises her shoe shelves by arranging her shoes facing opposite ways to create the luxury of space.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s kitchen gets the royal treatment once a week with a dedicated examination of every nook and cranny of her pantry ensuring every spice is in place.

As we head into the middle of the year, now is as great a time as ever to do a quick financial clean up. We chat to Richard Rupping, the head of marketing for 1Life, a registered financial services provider, for tips on how to take control of your finances and secure a healthy financial future.

Review Your Budget: Just like how now can be the perfect time to clean out your closets, it’s also an ideal time to consider organising, simplifying and helping set yourself up for months of financial success. With that comes the saying ‘out with the old and in with the new’. Is your budget still working for you?

Use this time of renewed energy to determine if you can clear out some old debt. This means reviewing your current monthly budget and making sure you have clearly outlined all your expenses and accounted for everything.

Manage Your Debt: Debt is stressful, so rather aim to repay it as fast as you are able to, even if it’s just a little bit each month. The quicker you repay debt the less interest you will pay. Once you have paid off your debt, think carefully before creating any more of it. Ask yourself whether you really need whatever it is you’re willing to go into debt for, or if it’s just a want.

Scale Up Your Savings: Instead of spending your money on something you don’t need, why not start a savings account? Put a little bit of extra money into that account each month because you never know when you may need the cash for a rainy day or a special occasion.

Diversify Your Investments: Getting your money to work for you is one of the best ways to accumulate ‘wealth’. So look at what you want to achieve and investigate ways to get there. The right investment policy will assist with this.

Update Or Create A Will: If you don’t have one already, there’s no better time. Create a will today that clearly instructs how your assets are divided amongst your loved ones after you have passed on. If you already have a will, make sure to review it regularly and make adjustments as significant life changes take place in your life.

Sort Out All Policies: Ensure that your car, home, life, funeral and health insurance policies are updated to reflect any relevant life changes. Check that your coverage still meets your needs and that your beneficiary designations are current and correct. Remember, claims are only payable to your nominated beneficiaries. So make sure that your beneficiaries understand how the policy works, what the benefits are, the amount that is payable as well as how the claim will need to be managed.

Ensure Your Family Is Protected: Life insurance is a sensitive subject to talk about, however, it is very important. Having life cover will make sure that if you pass away, your family can cover any outstanding debt you may have, as well as replace your income and ensure the future financial stability of your family so they are able to cover costs such as education costs and normal monthly expenses and maintain their standard of living.

These vets will be embarking on an endurance motorbike trip from Johannesburg to Cape Town to raise funds for three undeniably deserving charities

I

N life you never know where the open road will take you but a group of motorbiking senior-level vets taking part in this year’s sixth Vets With Horsepower charity endurance event are hoping they’ll land up at the designated finish line in the Mother City! Along the way the team consisting of 12 senior academic and practising specialist vets will be raising money for three very worthy South African charities Ethelbert Children’s Home, The Highveld Horsecare Unit and The Bizana Project.

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

Ethelbert Children’s Home is a residential place of refuge and safety that at any one time cares for up to 65 children who have been removed from their parents because of abuse, neglect, abandonment, as well as those orphaned because of HIV/Aids. The charity has an wonderful success rate in restoring family values and rehabilitation. They badly need a new building to provide schooling and recreation facilities; this will bring both positive effects and boost morale significantly.

The Highveld Horsecare Unit provides care, rehoming and assistance for owners of working horses across South Africa. They provide emergency treatment for up to 2 000 horses and donkeys per day and educational support for their owners; at present they are particularly involved in improving the welfare of working and abandoned horses in Lesotho ‒ one of the poorest countries in the world. They need to build stabling and pasture facilities at their centres.

The Bizana Project is a centre that provides veterinary support for local working horses in a very remote part of KwaZulu-Natal where there is currently no veterinary provision for the horse population of 10 000 working ponies, apart from that provided by this project. Mortality

Many people rely on horses and donkeys for their day-to-day work

facebook.com/peoplemagsa

(most significantly from African Horse Sickness, which regularly devastates the population) and other morbidity means that they urgently need a clinic building so that proper veterinary care and vaccination programmes can be provided.

Children usually ride horses to school and the loss of a horse inevitably means that the children cannot get to school at all; the health of the horses is therefore fundamental to their economic, academic and social development.

The Bizana Project has found that when paddock/holding facilities are provided at schools far more children go to school on a regular basis. The project provides both a clinic facility and paddock facilities.

The original concept of vets going on bike tours to raise money for charity was put together

by Derek Knottenbelt, a senior vet at the Equine Hospital in Liverpool and a biking enthusiast, along with other senior Riding for charity vets to save the Riding For Disabled Centre in Mali ‒ one of the poorest countries in the world. The Centre was being run by The Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (a voluntary British organisation with the objective and purpose of providing veterinary care to working animals in communities around the world) with another partner, but due to the financial

situation worldwide, the partner was looking to pull their support Derek and the team raised enough to secure the future of the centre.

“For the last five years Vets With Horsepower has made a substantial and meaningful difference to working horse and donkey welfare

African veterinarians. We have set ourselves an overall target of R1-million; through this we will bring really meaningful benefit to thousands of vulnerable and underprivileged children and horses/donkeys. We want to make a real difference to some of the poorest and most forgotten people and horses. The benefits will be tangible, long-term and sustainable.”

This tour promises to be one of the hardest the riders have undertaken and includes stops in Johannesburg, Durban, Port St Johns, Port Alfred, Port Elizabeth, Plettenberg Bay, Wellington and Cape Town. Most of the team members are based overseas, so they’ll be arriving in South Africa on August 13. The team includes veterinarians Professor Josh Slater (RVC), Professor Derek Knottenbelt (University of Glasgow), Dr Jessica Kidd (private specialist surgical referral practice UK), Dr Caroline Hahn (University of Edinburgh), Dr John Burford (University of Nottingham), David Bardell (University of Liverpool), Jenny Croft

The vets are dedicated to raising money for underprivileged children, horses and donkeys and to the lives and aspirations of people in some of the poorest countries, with previous events having raised over R8-million as a result of generous responses from supporters,” says Derek C. Knottenbelt. “This year’s marks the sixth event and involves a tough journey of around 2 500km over 14 days on some difficult roads. Along the way we will provide five oneday education events for horse owners and five events for equine veterinarians. We will also undertake an outreach day on the Bizana Project where we will provide veterinary care for working horses and donkeys and advice for their owners, in conjunction with other South

(private practice, Scotland), Dr Mike Hewetson (University of Pretoria, Ondesterpoort, South Africa) and Dr Dietrich von Schweinitz (private specialist referral practice, UK).

The team will team consist of 12 senior academic and practising specialist vets

Pay It Forward

AN event like this needs help and support from people who care about working horses and people in poorer countries. In addition to financial contributions there are opportunities for ‘in kind’ sponsorships (for example, by covering hotel expenses, meals, petrol or other logistic support) as well, since anything that reduces overhead costs increases the charitable outcome. There are also opportunities to sponsor one or more bikers specifically – this may be applicable to individual supporters as well as any companies and organisations.

‘MY DYING HUSBAND

A TALE of tragedy.

KILLED OUR DAUGHTER’ W

HEN Mary Grampp’s husband Eddie was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, she thought life could not get any worse. But in one of the most heart-breaking stories you will ever read, Mary reveals how tragedy struck again when Eddie accidentally ran over and killed their three-year-old daughter, McKaylee.

Today Mary, 33, tells how the family are bravely rebuilding their life under the shadow of unimaginable grief.

And proudly introduces newborn baby daughter, Molly, who has given them all a reason to smile again.

Mary, who lives with Eddie, 33, six-month-old Molly and two young sons Jacob, five and Eddie Jr, seven, in Burbank, California, USA, says, “When doctors told us Eddie had a brain tumour that was inoperable it was like my entire world crumbled. But then three years after his diagnosis, Eddie accidentally ran over and killed McKaylee and it was like all our hearts had been ripped out again. It was devastating. But Molly has

We have two places in our heart – one for grief where we will always mourn the little girl we lost, but another one for the boundless joy Molly has brought back into our lives again.

And for that we feel incredibly blessed. Now when I think of Eddie dying, I don’t feel so scared as I know he will be with McKaylee again.”

Tragedy first hit the Grampp family in June 2012 when Eddie, a computer animator, was told he was suffering from an inoperable brain tumour. At best doctors gave him five years to live.

Mary says, “We had three young children when we found out Eddie was sick and I was just terrified of

losing my husband. I remember dropping to the floor and sobbing when the doctors told us the devastating diagnosis. McKaylee was his biggest cheerleader though and would sit with him during chemo and always bring a smile to his face. Dealing with Eddie’s condition was overwhelming, though, and took its toll on the entire family. I constantly worried how I would look after the kids by myself if Eddie died.”

Despite doctors’ grim prognosis, Eddie’s children gave him the will to live and the family clung on to the hope a miracle would happen.

When Mary fell pregnant with their fourth child, they felt blessed their family was growing. But on August 12, 2015, the family was to endure even more heartache when tragedy came calling again in the most horrifying way.

Eddie Grampp and Molly

McKaylee at her third birthday party

McKaylee Grampp with her brothers After driving home from work, Eddie accidentally hit and killed McKaylee after she ran into the underground garage to welcome her daddy home. Mary was sixmonths pregnant.

Recalling that day Mary says, “We had been waiting outside the house to welcome Eddie home. I thought he would have had time to park, so I let McKaylee run down into the garage as she was so excited to see him. But Eddie hadn’t parked, he didn’t see her and the next thing I knew Eddie was screaming, ‘McKaylee, McKaylee’!”

Mary ran into the garage and found her three-year-old daughter lying in a pool of her own blood.

“It was the most heart-breaking sight and I will never forget seeing her lying there,” tells Mary. “Eddie was screaming and while he called for 911, I leant down to try to see if my daughter was alive. I was beside myself and in total shock at what had happened. I administered CPR and prayed she would make it.”

But after she was taken to hospital, doctors battled for half an hour to make her heart beat, until they realised all hope was gone.

Mary says, “One minute McKaylee had been running around laughing and joking and the next we were told she was gone forever. After doctors told us she had passed they let us hold her and Eddie and I spent four hours in a private hospital room holding our beloved little girl’s lifeless body. We cried until there were no tears left and then cried some more. I had one of her blankets and I wrapped her in it and, sobbing, said, ‘Mommy loves you so much and I am so sorry this has happened to you. McKaylee you have brought so much joy into our lives and we will all miss you’.”

Leaving the hospital that night without their little girl,

Mary and Eddie wondered how they would ever smile again.

Mary says, “The next day we had to tell Jacob and Eddie Jr their little sister had gone to Heaven. And I think all of us just went into total shock. I remember the first night just lying in bed sobbing, listening to her favourite Disney channel as it made us both feel closer to her. Our grief was so all-consuming and there were many days and still are that we wonder how we can go on without her. I sit in her bedroom and talk to her and miss her so much with every bone in my body.”

Three months after McKaylee was killed, Mary and Eddie welcomed daughter Molly into the world.

“My mind was so much on Mckaylee that day,” tells Mary. “And I remember being in labour looking round the room, hoping I would see her, that she would be there to say hello to the little sister she had so longed to meet. In my mind I remember thinking about them playing together, but then remembering that would never happen. But then Molly arrived and both Eddie and I felt so much joy wash over us. We realised she was such a blessing. She looked so much like McKaylee and I knew the moment she was born she had come to save us from getting lost in our grief. She is our little ray of sunshine and I cannot wait to tell her all about how wonderful her big sister was. Eddie’s illness and losing McKaylee really has taught me to value what we do have, to not sweat the small stuff and try to make every minute we have count.”

Eddie says, “Molly has brought real peace and joy into our lives and without her I don’t know what we would have done. But that does not take away from the heartache we feel every single day at losing McKaylee.”

ONALD ‘PEE WEE’ GASKINS was into a little bit of everything. He preyed on both men and women. He enjoyed torturing his victims and wasn’t above a little cannibalism when the mood took him. He didn’t go so far as to say he was God, but he definitely believed he and God were ‘equals’. “We walk the same path,” he’d later say. Like God, Pee Wee said he got to decide who lived and who died.

Gaskins was born on March 13, 1933, in Florence County, South Carolina. His mother was unmarried at the time and lived with several different men while Pee Wee was a child.

Many beat the boy just for being around. When his mother finally married, Pee Wee’s stepfather would beat Pee Wee and his siblings on a daily basis. Their mother did nothing.

Indeed, if they complained to her she would often beat them too. She was especially cruel to Pee Wee. That’s why he grew up to hate women, he later claimed.

Donald was given his nickname at a young age because of his size. Teased and beaten by classmates and teachers, he left school at age 11. He became a mechanic and also helped out around the family farm. It was while working at the garage that Pee Wee befriended two other boys, Danny and Marsh.

Calling themselves ‘The Horrible Trio’, they burgled local houses and raped younger boys, saying they would kill their parents if the boys told anyone. Another favourite pastime was stealing cats and dogs, pouring petrol over them and setting fire to the poor animals.

The trio’s reign of terror came to an end after they raped Marsh’s younger sister. When she told her father what had happened, all three dads tied them up and delivered an epic beating. Afterwards, Danny and Marsh left the area; Gaskins continued to break into houses. At age 13 he was caught in the act by an older girl. He tried to attack her with a stick, but she chased him away with an axe! Pee Wee was sent to the South Carolina State Reformatory until he was 18. He later claimed to have been beaten and raped there regularly.

After this, Pee Wee and a friend got involved in burning barns for people for the insurance money. A girl accused him of being the arsonist, so he hit her with a hammer, splitting her skull open. He was sent to prison for five years for assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder.

Released from prison in 1961, Pee Wee went to work as the driver for a travelling preacher. During this time he met and married several young girls without divorcing any. He was finally arrested for statutory rape of a 12-year-old girl. He was not paroled until 1968.

In September 1969, Gaskins tortured and murdered a hitchhiker and dropped her body in a swamp. He would go on to distinguish between ‘coastal kills’ and ‘serious murders’. The former comprised victims he picked up while touring the coastal highways of the US South. These he killed and tortured for pleasure, to appease the feelings of ‘bothersome-ness’ that would afflict him. His ‘serious murders’ involved people who had insulted him, owed him money or whom he had been paid to kill. This included his niece Janice Kirby, 15, and her friend Patricia Alsbrook, 17, whom he beat to death in November 1970 after attempting to rape them. In 1973, he raped and killed pregnant neighbour Doreen Dempsey and her one-year-old daughter.

In February 1975, Suzanne Owens hired Gaskins to kill her boyfriend. In order to cover up the murder, Gaskins ended up killing four more times. He was arrested on November 14, 1975, when accomplice Walter Neeley ratted on him.

Neely had helped his friend dispose of several bodies and had witnessed two of Gaskins’ murders.

Donald ‘Pee Wee’ Gaskins was executed on September 6, 1991. Although only ever charged with eight murders, he is believed to have killed as many as 90 people.

T was hard not to compare my two boys.

Angus, my eldest, was a gorgeous baby. He had beautiful blue eyes and white blonde hair. He fed easily and slept deeply through the night at six weeks. Hamish, on the other hand, had colic and cried constantly for months. He kept me up all night until he was a year old. Skinny, with his dad’s complexion, he had a haunted look that freaked me out. As young boys, the differences only became more stark.

Angus had a boisterous streak, but on the whole was a good boy. Hamish seemed to throw tantrum after tantrum from the age of one until about five.

‘You nag him too much’, my husband Sean warned me.

‘He needs to learn’, I retorted sharply. Without meaning to I favoured Angus, which in hindsight I see now only fuelled Hamish’s bad behaviour.

At school, Angus got top marks and was an excellent team player. He was the captain of his rugby team and had a big group of friends. Hamish’s school reports all said: ‘Can try harder’.

He had a few friends, but they were geeky. They locked themselves in his room and played on his computer.

‘Maybe give him a bit more attention’, my sister Eileen suggested.

‘He won’t let me go near him’, I snorted sourly. I’ll admit I was ashamed of him.

I had always done well at school and Sean is an engineer. ‘How could we have created such a drop out?’ I thought.

But when Angus left school and went to university, he started to change. He’d go out for days on end and not let us know when he’d be back. ‘Where’s your brother?’ I fretted, asking Hamish one day.

‘Gone clubbing probably’, he shrugged.

The next time I saw Angus, he looked pale and grubby.

‘What’s going on, son?’ I asked. ‘Please, talk to me’.

‘For once in your life just leave me alone!’ he shouted.

I recoiled, horrified. Angus had never spoken to me like that. The change in him continued and by his second year he dropped out of his course. He moved in with his girlfriend – a skinny, sullen girl who never said a word. Meanwhile Hamish finished school without fanfare and enrolled in an IT course. I hardly noticed; I was too busy worrying about Angus.

‘What on Earth had happened to my star boy?’ I wondered.

Drugs, as it turns out.

One day, I turned up at Angus’ unit and found him passed out, stoned out of his mind. Sean and I spent the best part of a year bailing him out of jail for drug-related offences before he finally agreed to go to rehab. It took another three years for him to get completely clean. Now he works as a building caretaker and I have to keep a beady eye on him to make sure he doesn’t take to drugs again.

Hamish finished his course and got a great job. He’s engaged to be married.

Our relationship is still tenuous, and I know he will never forgive me for not loving him enough as a boy. My marriage has taken strain as a result and I know Sean blames me for all this mess.

Turns out I loved the wrong son too much. Angus couldn’t take the pressure of being the favourite and went totally off the rails. If only I’d been more measured in my adoration! I only have myself to blame.”

‘I LOVED the wrong son too much.’ – Anne, 52

Mother-In-Law Revenge

“C

RACKING eggs into the boiling water, I felt a presence behind me. ‘Trust you’ve put vinegar in there’, the voice trilled. ‘No…’ I replied. ‘Didn’t your mother teach you how to poach?’ she scoffed.

It was so typical of my mother-in-lawto-be, Judith. She managed to find fault in whatever I did. Whether it was my vacuuming technique, my coffee-making or what time I sent my son, Harry, six, to bed, Judith had an opinion. Worst of all, my fiancé Jason thought she was the bees knees. We’d been together for 10 years and from the beginning she’d been difficult. Now Jason and I were finally getting married, her interfering had reached an all-time high. ‘I’ve invited Ron and Susan to the wedding’, she announced as she busied around the kitchen.

‘But we have to be careful about numbers…’ I said timidly.

I seethed at the audacity of her. How dare she!

Serving up crispy bacon and over-cooked eggs, I resisted the urge to shove the plate in her face. Judith had recently moved to our neighbourhood so, she’d frequently turn up uninvited. She came to watch Harry play basketball. She couldn’t help commenting that Harry’s shorts were too small and his hair needed cutting.

That evening, I ranted to my best friend, Carly. ‘Considering she clearly dislikes you, she hangs out with you a lot!’ Carly chuckled.

‘It’s so she can keep tabs on me’, I sighed.

Over the next few months, Judith followed me around like a sheep. ‘Oh God, dear, you can’t have lilies’, she scorned when I was choosing our wedding flowers.

‘That’ll fit nicely when you’ve shed a few kilos’, she said at my wedding dress fitting.

I was at the end of my tether. Jason meanwhile, thought she was hilarious.

‘Mom’s refreshingly honest’, he’d say. For his sake, I bit my tongue. One evening, Jason and I were snuggled on the sofa when Judith bounded in. ‘I’m so excited’, she gushed. ‘I have my outfit for the wedding and it’s just beautiful’, ‘Great’, Jason encouraged. With that, she zipped down the dress bag. I couldn’t help gasping as she pulled out a white kneelength dress.

‘Isn’t only the bride supposed to wear white?’ Jason muttered.

‘Oh, no one adheres to that silly tradition anymore’, she said.

‘She’s done this on purpose’, I thought, fuming.

‘I’ll keep it here’, she announced.

Then suddenly, I had an idea. ‘Pop it in the spare room’, I smiled sweetly.

That night, I called Carly. I explained I needed a favour and thankfully, she was fully on board.

I told Jason that Carly’s kitten, Smokey was coming to stay. ‘I’d love to get Harry a pet so this will be a good test’, I said.

The night before the wedding, I shut Smoky in the spare room with Judith’s dress carefully laid out on the floor. In the morning, I opened the door to find her dress scratched, and covered in cat wee.

‘Oh no!’ I screamed. Jason bolted up the stairs. ‘Smokey’s ruined your mom’s dress’, I cried. When Judith heard the news she was distraught. I couldn’t help revelling in her misfortune. As I walked down the aisle and saw her in an old, tatty dress, a smile spread across my face. I can honestly say it was the best day of my life!”

‘I’D show her it was my big day, not hers…’ – Sally, 39

And With A Psst!

Swing Of Her Hips “W

AS I invisible?

Sometimes it really felt like it. Here I was standing at the bar in front of the man of my dreams, watching him chat up my best friend, Sylvia. My eyes darted from his smiling face to hers as they exchanged witty banter and flirtatious looks.

‘Can I get you another drink?’ he asked her, completely ignoring me.

‘We’re here for you, why aren’t you talking to him?’ Sylvia hissed to me, while his back was turned.

‘He hasn’t even noticed me’, I grumbled.

I was a newly divorced mom-of-two and, although Sylvia was happily married, she’d insisted we go out so I could ‘get back on the horse’. But while my gorgeous friend was turning heads, they didn’t even seem to realise I was there. I didn’t hate Sylvia for being attractive.

She worked hard to keep her trim figure.

She hit the gym regularly and had even taken up pole dancing classes. For a 40-year-old woman with three kids, her abs were amazing! I, on the other hand, was nothing special. ‘You just need your confidence lifted,’ Sylvia was always telling me.

‘I need everything lifted’, I’d joke back. As the evening wore on, I tried to stop comparing my flabby thighs to my friend’s skinny ones and decided to focus on getting drunk instead.

Eventually, Sylvia grabbed my arm and looked at me excitedly. ‘We should go to the club where I do my pole classes’, she slurred, drunkenly. ‘They do strip shows at night’.

‘We can’t go to a strip club’, I said, laughing.

‘We’re 40-year-old women’, she shot back, defiantly. ‘We can do anything we like!’ With that, she dragged me down the street to the club. Inside, smoke machines filled the room with a thick fog and strobe lights flashed in time with the music. There was a full monty show from five ripped guys and then a few slender girls in their underwear took to the poles. It was almost 03h00 and Sylvia had already got a taxi home.

I’d stayed out and got chatting to the manager, Lara. ‘You should get up there and have a dance’, she said to me. ‘What? Me?!’ I spluttered. ‘Yeah, right’. She was serious, though. ‘But...

I haven’t had any training!’ I blurted.

‘You don’t need it, just get up there and move your body’. Lara said. By now, I’d had far too much to drink.

Oh what the hell, I thought, clambering up onto the stage.

At first, I was a little self-conscious, but then I noticed a group of hot guys watching me from the bar.

They clapped and cheered and I soon got into my groove.

As I swung around the pole, I felt so sexy. Feeling brave, I whipped off my top and swung it around my head, then threw it to the guys by the bar. I was dripping with sweat by the time I finished. One of the men came over and handed me my top. ‘Nice moves’, he said, flashing me a grin and giving me his business card.

I was really flattered – until I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. Memories of my shimmying around a pole in a strip club, topless, came flooding back to me and I cringed with shame. I never mentioned to Sylvia what happened after she left; I was far too embarrassed. But I have to admit, I enjoyed the confidence boost.

Maybe I’ll do it again one day ‒ after some proper training, of course.”

‘I COULDN’T possibly do what they were asking... Could I?’ – Patty, 40

You Did What ...?

STRIPPED OF INHIBITIONS “M Y fiancé Kevin and I were high school sweethearts. We were 14 years old when we’d first met at a school dance.

Although I never imagined it would be anything more than a high school romance, we stayed together and he proposed on my 21st birthday.

We both wanted a big wedding so we decided to wait a few years while we saved up. Eight years later, however, we still hadn’t tied the knot. ‘This is getting ridiculous’, I said to Kev one evening. ‘Let’s just get married this summer!’

‘I agree’, he said with a smile. ‘We’ve waited long enough’.

As the big day drew closer, I got swept up planning every tiny detail and spent my weekends making party favours for our guests and sewing tablecloths and decorations. Then, three weeks before the wedding, Kev and I had our hen and stag parties.

‘Have an amazing time!’ I said, before he headed off to meet the boys.

‘You too, love’, he said, kissing my cheek. ‘Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!’

I’d bought a new outfit for the occasion and I couldn’t wait to let my hair down. The first stop was dinner at a restaurant followed by drinks in a hotel suite my friends had booked for me to stay the night. The drinks flowed and I began to feel quite tipsy. ‘Don’t you ever wonder what it would be like to be with another man?’ my friend Sarah giggled.

‘Not really’, I lied. ‘Kev’s the only one for me’. The truth was though, I’d often thought about whether we’d just

settled for one another because we didn’t know any different.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted my daydream. ‘We’ve got one more surprise for you!’ Sarah announced. As she opened the door, three shirtless men in black pants and bow ties filed in. ‘They’re called the Naughty Nude Butlers!’ she squealed.

We all erupted into fits of laughter and I couldn’t help but admire their buff bods. For the next few hours, the butlers kept us entertained, pouring drinks and twirling us round the hotel room. One of the guys, Matt, had a particular twinkle in his eye. ‘Maybe I could stick around after everyone’s gone?’ he whispered in my ear. My instant response should have been no, but after a few wines, I was feeling bold.

‘Maybe you should’, I said. Slowly but surely, my friends all said their goodbyes, none of them realising that Matt was still there.

As soon as everyone had left, he pulled me close. ‘I’ve been dying to kiss you all night’, he said.

Before I could even think about what I was doing, we were kissing and my heart raced as he threw me onto the bed. When I woke up the next morning, my terrible hangover wasn’t the only reminder of my wild night.

I was racked with guilt.

As I splashed my face with water, I knew I’d have to take my dirty little secret to my grave. My one-night stand gave me the last minute thrill I’d been craving, but it also made me realise how much I loved Kev. When I stood up in front of our friends and family to say my vows a few weeks later, I meant every word.”

‘WHAT would it be like to be with another man?’ – Samira, 29

Another Geordie Shore Exit!

PIC:GREATSTOCK

Is This The End For Teresa And Joe?

IT’S no secret that Teresa and Joe Giudice have had it rough over the past few years. The two were found guilty of fraud back in 2014 and since then, Teresa has completed 11 months in jail while Joe is currently serving his 41-month sentence. Since her release, Teresa has been working hard at getting her life back in order. Teresa has a brand new book deal, she’s shooting new episodes of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey and she is repairing her relationship with her family and friends. However, sources reveal that Joe won’t have it as easy when he leaves prison and could find himself divorced and at risk of being deported. “Publically, Teresa

says everything is fine with Joe, but she’s still fuming she had to do time because of his mistakes,” the source explains.

“Teresa believes Joe is going to be sent back to Italy and will ask her to come with him. But there’s no way that Teresa will start from scratch overseas.

She’s ready to kick him to the curb while he’s still locked up.”

Joe comes from Italy and never became a US citizen, so the possibility of being deported is very much a reality. He is currently being held in a prison wing holding illegal immigrants, which could mean that he will have to bid his American home farewell. “Teresa’s a good mom and wants to make the best decisions for her daughters,” the source adds. “She plans to stay in America, pay the bills and fix Joe’s mess.” The source also says that she plans to get divorced while Joe is still in prison. “It will be an easier transition for the girls.”

WHOA! It’s definitely the season of change in the Geordie Shore house this time around. The gang are shooting the upcoming 13th season of the hit show in Kavos, Greece and now it seems Chantelle Connelly, who joined the show in its 12th season, has already decided to leave. The news comes just weeks after original member Charlotte Crosby left the show after she revealed she suffered an ectopic pregnancy by former flame and fellow cast member Gary Beadle.

Now Chantelle, who has shot a few episodes of the new season, is heading back to Newcastle, England and is hanging up her reality show boots. What sparked her sudden split? Well, it seems she left the show to reunite with her ex-boyfriend, Tommy Sayers.

“Chantelle’s heart hasn’t been in it since the cast started filming the new series,” a source said. “She has a lot of history with Tommy and it was either him or the show so she decided to quit for love.” Now that’s something we don’t see on the show too often.

Caitlyn’s Addicted To Surgery

CAITLYN JENNER stunned fans when she announced that she was transgender and started living life as a woman. However, her masculine features have always been an issue for her and she has gone under the knife quite a few times to alter her looks to be more feminine. She has had many procedures on her face, has breast implants and is finally considering a full gender reassignment surgery ‒ in fact she’s already contacted her doctor, Dr Bowers, for advice. “Probably the most private thing for a trans person to talk about is probably way down there what’s happening,” Dr Bowers explained on a recent episode of I Am Cait. ”Everything that a man has a woman has as well,” she said. “Really, the basis of the surgery is that, embryologically, there is a transition from female to male anatomy. When you’re doing the reverse, you simply undo all those steps.” However, close friends of Caitlyn are worried that the star has been so obsessed with going under the knife that she is on the road to looking ‘freaky’. Caitlyn was spotted out last month with a puffier face than we’ve ever seen her with and her friends are really concerned. “Everyone is begging her to take a break from all the painful surgeries and fillers. But Cait is a perfectionist, and every week she comes up with a new tweak she thinks her face or body needs,” a source says. “In the past six months alone, she’s spent close to R1.5-million on nips and tucks. There’s no end in sight and it’s a real problem.”

Off The Record With...

WE chat to musicians making waves in the music scene!

BY EL BROIDE

T

HE local hip-hop scene is hotter than it’s ever been and it’s thanks to artists like KiD X who are changing things for the better.

The rapper has gained a large following since he burst onto the radar and his album 3 Quarter Pace has been flying off the shelves. Now, he’s just dropped his brand new single, iPati, which features guest vocals from Kwesta. The track serves as the lead single to his highly-anticipated upcoming album, and we sat down with the rapper to discuss where his passion for music started from, the new single and how he prepares for a live show.

Your career is on fire right now! Tell us, where and when did your passion for music start?

My passion for music started in the ’90s. I grew up listening to a lot of kwaito. My dad would also play a lot of music on his record player so I grew up with music around me. In 2003, I had a chance encounter with the movie 8 Mile and that sort of steered me towards hip-hop.

What is it about hip-hop that speaks to your soul?

The culture. Hip-hop, for me, serves as a medium to express myself, whether it be through the stories in my music, the fashion, the slang or the graffiti. All those elements spoke to me and made it easier for me to tell my story through my work.

You’re about to drop your new album. What is different this time around?

I’ve grown from my previous project. I’ve got a chance to travel and experience different parts of Africa. The sound is not just limited to a South African audience, which is why I’m very excited about it.

Can you mention some of the upcoming collaborations?

Yeah. Acts like Shekhinah, Youngsta and YCEE from Nigeria appear on the album, amongst others.

Hip-hop is vastly about collaboration. Why do you think collaborations are so important in hip-hop music?

Collaborations unite fan bases. I particularly enjoy

More Issues Than Vogue K. Michelle

«««

AMERICAN rapper K. Michelle is back with her third studio album, More Issues Than Vogue. This time, the singer is more real than ever, as can be heard on her singles Not A Little Bit and Ain’t You. K. Michelle certainly has a voice on her. Not only does she slay the vocals on this album, but she is also a great rapper. Opening track Mindful shows off her ability to rap while Ain’t You shows the softer side of her voice, revealing just how dimensional she really is. The singer has taken a few risks with this release, and it’s clear that she’s trying to broaden her audience base ‒ and we think she did a great job with that. All in all, this is a pleasant album, just don’t expect to be completely blown away or anything.

You’ve just dropped your new single iPati with Kwesta. What inspired the song? iPati is a record I have had since 2014. It’s inspired by the fact that South Africans love having a good time. I really just wanted to capture that whole vibe in a song and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

You’re performing all over the place at the moment. How do you prepare for a live show?

I make sure that I’m in good spirits, so I’ll listen to all my favourite tunes. It’s mainly about mental preparation for me and making sure that I’m well rested before every show.

What do you think it is about you as an artist that makes you unique?

I’m always pushing the boundaries with regard to my sounds, flows and how I mix up different languages.

What else can we expect from you over the next few months?

Expect more visuals, website, KiD X merchandise and crazy live performances.

Oh, and the new album, of course.

I’m excited for everyone to hear it!

Embrace Armin Van Buuren

Introvertigo Dan Patlansky

««««

«««

HE’S one of the biggest electronic music acts in the world, and Dutch DJ Armin Van Buuren has just dropped his sixth studio album, Embrace.

The album has seen the release of many hit tracks in the world of dance, including lead single Another You, which features vocals from Mr Probz. Armin Van Buuren is an incredible DJ and this record proves that. His production is phenomenal and he has really pushed himself creatively.

He’s created some commercial, radio-friendly jams as well as some more hardcore dance tracks, which will ensure fans of both types of dance music will be satisfied. Armin has also enlisted the help of artists like Gavin DeGraw, Cosmic Gate and Rock Mafia, and each of these brings something different. “The idea was to ‘EMBRACE’ several different instruments and sounds, and incorporate them into my sound,” Armin says, and that’s what he’s done!

El’s Favourite Track: Make It Right (Feat. Angel Taylor)

AFTER the success of his previous album, Dear Silence Thieves, local rocker Dan Patlansky went straight back into studio to record a new album, and this is definitely something different. There’s a lot of rock and blues influence here, which is a genre mix not many local acts are tapping into. The tracks are written well and are perfect to jam along to at a live event. They have a lot of attitude, and are also some of Dan’s most personal material to date. There is a lot of emotion in the album and Dan’s gravelly vocals make the songs that much better. If you’re looking for commercial music from Dan, though, you won’t find it on this. And while Dan has tapped the rock-blues well to great effect, the record, if listened to from start to finish, tends to become just a little bit repetitive.

El’s Favourite Track: Loosen Up The Grip

Who Gets The House?

THE Reeces have a tough decision ahead of them: after nearly 20 years of marriage, they find that being married might not be what they want for themselves anymore. But with the question of the kids and the house, divorce isn’t the most straight-forward option. They agree to a trial separation, with the kids getting the house and mom and dad shuttling back and forth.

CODEBREAKER CODEBREAKERS require inspired guesswork. They are crosswords without clues. Every letter of the alphabet is used (you might find it useful to cross out the letters located by the grid as you find them) and each letter has its own number. In this puzzle ‘22’ has the letter ‘P’ so a useful start is to insert ‘P’ in all the boxes that contain the number ‘22’. Vowels appear at least once in a word but letters such as and are few.

‘X’

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

BY WARREN ROBERTSON

N 1969 humankind landed on the moon for the first time. It was the peak of human technological accomplishment, achieved on a space craft with the same computing power as a modern day washing machine.

Since then, however, our ventures into space have stagnated. The vast budgets required have frightened governments away and without the Cold War public relations benefits of a forward-thinking space department, there seems to have been very little impetus to reach further outward. Until now.

Over the past few years, two separate privately owned organisations have promised manned missions to Mars.

The first is Elon Musk’s groundbreaking, odds-defying technology company, SpaceX, and the second is a not-forprofit foundation based in the Netherlands called Mars One. It was Mars One that first broke the news that humans may be reaching a planet over first. They announced it by declaring that all funding for the trip would be done via the creation of a reality TV show about the crew as they prepare to launch off to Mars. In truth, their plan is more complex than that, but the reality TV angle certainly stuck with the media. The Dutch organisation is raising money any way it can. That means broadcasting rights, sponsorship deals, crowd-funding, donations from philanthropists, and licensing intellectual property rights from inventions made along the way.

They claim the technology they require will be purchased from big companies that are already in the business of making these things happen.

No sooner had their announcements been made, however, than doubters were coming out of the woodwork. Scientists, technology experts and psychologists suggested that for a totally untested company to attempt something like that would be nothing short of suicidal; and yet more than 200 000 people applied to be part of the journey. Since it first announced its intentions to travel, the team at Mars One have already rejected 199 900 contestants, and is down to just 100. Now Mars One is getting ready to whittle down those astronaut hopefuls from 100 people to just 40. In the near future (the exact date has not been announced), Mars One will hold a five-day team challenge made up of those hopefuls, Mars One representatives said in a statement. The process will start with 10 groups of 10, but the groups will change composition due to ‘continuous elimination’.

At the end of every day, roughly 10 to 20 people will leave the selection process. Candidates will be judged based on their performance in both indoor and outdoor activities, using such metrics as trust, problem solving, precision, communication and interdependency. Group members will rank whom they want to work with, which will be taken into account for eliminations. The candidates have also been given study materials ahead of time that they are expected to assimilate, the statement added.

“We want the groups to be as diverse as possible, and to utilise the uniqueness and special contribution from, for example, different backgrounds in order to solve complex problems,” said Norbert Kraft, Mars One’s chief medical officer.

LIFE ON Mars produce a breathable atmosphere in the habitat, 3 000l of water, and 120kg of oxygen kept in storage.

The first mission (costing R92-billion) aims to send a spacecraft carrying two men and two women to the planet in 2026. When they arrive the Mars lander module will detach from the spacecraft and descend to the surface. Once down, the crew in their Mars suits are picked up by one of the rovers and taken to the habitat.

Once there, their first tasks are to deploy more solar panels, and start their efforts to grow food on Mars.

Meanwhile a second cargo load designed for a second crew of astronauts will be launched toward Mars in the same month, and when it arrives the crew already on Mars will be tasked with setting it up. There is no option for any of the astronauts to return to Earth. As a result Mars One hopes to provide enough living quarters and life support for twice as many people as there are actually living on Mars. Once the second cargo load is installed the four astronauts will technically be living in a base designed to support 16 people. In 2029 they will be joined by the second crew of four more people, who will have launched in 2028.

At the moment the Mars One expedition seems to be merely theoretical. With the idea being that they buy the technology they need, the team is highly dependent on companies both having that technology and being willing to sell it to them. This may not be a guaranteed entity at all, as one of the companies they hope to source the technology from is entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which also aim to be the first on Mars.

Colonising Mars has long been a passion of Musk’s.

Indeed, the entrepreneur has repeatedly said that he founded SpaceX in 2002 primarily to help make humanity a multiplanet species.

“Having a self-sustaining outpost on the Red Planet would serve as an insurance policy, making humanity’s extinction unlikely even if something goes terribly awry here on Earth,” Musk said in a recent press conference.

“Colonising Mars would have other benefits as well,” he added. “The effort would greatly advance science discoveries and technological capabilities, and it would help inspire and excite people from all walks of life and from all around the globe. Mars settlement would be a great adventure. There need to be things that people look forward to when they wake up in the morning.”

Given the fact that SpaceX has been in the industry of space travel for nearly 15 years, most commentators believe they have the best chance of succeeding in their trip to the red planet. Musk’s key aim at the moment is to develop a rocket ship that can be landed back on Earth, instead of simply plunging into the sea.

That way it could be reused, thereby dramatically lowering the cost of space travel. Musk does not take unnecessary chances and every step is carefully planned. SpaceX started trying to land the first stage of its rockets back in January 2015, but the first successful landing didn’t come until December. Since then, though, the company has had more luck. SpaceX has

now successfully executed three drone ship landings.

The aim is for the mission to Mars to be as carefully orchestrated. The company plans to send a first unmanned mission to Mars in 2018.

If these autonomous spacecraft flights are successful and are proven to be safe enough for humans, then the first human mission will take place in 2025. For the first pioneering humans who decide to leave their lives on Earth behind, Musk admits the journey will likely be ‘hard, risky, dangerous, and difficult’ but he points out it is no different from the British who chose to travel across the sea to colonise the Americas in the 1600s.

Following a first manned mission, Musk next envisions sending a small team of 10 people to Mars, along with construction supplies to build transparent domes.

Still, the process of building city-like colonies to sustain long-term habitation is expensive and challenging.

Unveiling some of his planning specifics, Musk stressed the importance of a reusable rocket to keep costs down. With initial systems in place, the first people to arrive would then begin to pressurise the domes with Mars’ atmospheric carbon dioxide, infusing the soil with nutrients, which would then allow the early Martian migrants to grow Earth crops. Life would likely be hard early on, with high set-up costs to build the life-sustaining machines, he said. But over time the colony would become more established and selfsufficient, and more and more people would arrive, ‘perhaps as many as 80 000’.

Initial equipment would include machines to harvest methane, oxygen, and carbon dioxide from Mars’ atmospheric nitrogen, and devices for extracting water from the subsurface ice, Musk explained.

Once food, water, and shelter are established and life is under way, you too can move to Mars. But getting there will cost you. Tickets would run up to R8-million initially, Musk supposes.

If Musk’s dream becomes a reality, there is a very real chance that in just 30 years we could be travelling to Mars and back, much as today we travel to other parts of Earth.

‘THE entrepreneur has repeatedly said that he founded SpaceX in 2002 primarily to help make humanity a multiplanet species.’

Elon Musk first humans will not be scheduled to blast off for Mars until 2024. But plenty of missions are planned beforehand to do vital groundwork.

According to a Mars One spokesman, in 2018, a lander would be sent to the planet as a trial-run for technologies that the real mission will need. That will be accompanied by a communications satellite to beam messages back and forth. In 2020, an ‘intelligent’ rover will be sent to Mars, along with a trailer. The rover’s job is to scope out a good landing site, far enough north for the soil to contain a good amount of water, but The Bigelow Exequatorial enough to get plenty pandable Activity of sunlight. Two years after that, Module (BEAM) in 2022, six cargo missions will head in Las Vegas off for Mars. They will include another rover, two living units and two life-support units. These will land near the first rover, which will tow them into position and set up solar panels to power the units. The life-support unit is meant to

SELFIES OR SEL

BY WARREN ROBERTSON

YOUR selfies are revealing dark sides to your personality, making you less popular. So why are we taking them?

F

ROM Kim Kardashian to that one annoying cousin you have, selfies are everywhere. We all know that one person, be they neighbour or c-list celebrity who can’t seem to stop themselves from posting their own self-portrait at every possible occasion. And of course we understand. The benefit of taking selfies is that you can perfect your pose, facial expression, and timing to take the perfect picture of yourself. That way, you can show the world the most attractive version of yourself. Except that’s not really how it works, because research has shown that what you see is not what the rest of the world sees.

A new study from the University of Toronto shows that selfie-takers greatly overestimate how attractive they are – and people actually view those who post tonnes of pictures of themselves online as being less likeable than other people.

Researchers at the university looked at 198 college students, 100 of whom reported being regular selfie-takers. Each participant was asked to take a selfie using a smartphone camera and also had a picture taken by another person.

Researchers then instructed the participants to rate each photo, determining how attractive and likeable they thought their friends would think they were in the photo if it were uploaded to social media. The pictures were also rated by 178 members of the public, who were asked to determine how attractive and likeable they thought the people in the photos were likely to be. Both the regular selfie-takers and the nonselfie-takers thought they would be seen as more attractive and more likeable in the photos they took of themselves than they were actually seen by the independent raters. However, the selfietakers overestimated themselves significantly more, and tended to think they looked better in the selfies than in the photos taken by other people.

“We found that selfie-takers believed their selfies to look more attractive and likable than photos of them taken by other people. In reality, though, external raters actually perceived the targets’ selfies to look less attractive and less likeable than the photos taken by others,” explained Daniel Re of the University of Toronto’s Department of Psychology, adding that this self-favouring bias did not extend to non-selfie-takers.

The study definitely showed that in general the only person who likes a selfie more than a normal picture of a person is the person who took that selfie. Further, it also showed that this delusion then carries over into real life.

‘RESEARCHERS found that posting more photos was linked very strongly with both narcissism and psychopathy.’

“Misperceptions about themselves as people may support selfie-takers’ positive evaluations of their selfies, revealing notable biases in self-perception,” Re explained.

What this all means is that those who take selfies tend to believe themselves to be significantly better looking than they really are, and overestimate how much other people would like to look at their selfies.

Perhaps damningly there was another dimension to the study, which revealed that when people viewed the selfies, they were immediately able to spot the regular selfie-takers, and said they were able to do so, because those people appeared less likeable and more narcissistic (showing extreme self-centredness).

This latest fact has already been informally backed up by a poll taken by over 40 000 people on a British media website, which shows that 84 percent of people believe selfie-takers to be arrogant and narcissistic.

That point was also backed up in a study conducted last year at Ohio State University in America, which showed that men who posted more photos of themselves online scored higher in measures of narcissism and psychopathy.

The researchers in that study had asked 800 men between the ages of 18 and 40 to fill out an online questionnaire about their photoposting habits on social media. The survey included questions about how often they posted photos of themselves, whether they edited photos before posting, and, if so, how. The participants were also asked to fill out standard questionnaires measuring anti-social behaviours and self-objectification (the tendency to overly focus on one’s appearance).

The researchers found that posting more photos was linked very strongly with both narcissism and psychopathy. Editing photos, however, was only associated with narcissism, and not psychopathy. Narcissism measures inflated selfimage (often motivated by underlying insecurity), while psychopathy involves a lack of empathy, and impulsive behaviour.

“That makes sense because psychopathy is characterised by impulsivity,” the study’s lead author, Jesse Fox, said in a statement. “Psychopaths are going to snap the photos and put them online right away. They want to see themselves.

They don’t want to spend time editing.”

These findings don’t mean that men who post selfies are actually narcissists or psychopaths; it does mean that they scored higher than others in these anti-social traits, although many were still within the normal range of behaviour.

The Ohio State study also found that editing photos of oneself was associated with higher levels of selfobjectification.

“With the growing use of social networks, everyone is more concerned with their appearance,” Fox said in the statement. “That means self-objectification may become a bigger problem for men, as well as for women.”

A follow up study by Fox, set to be released at a conference

LF-HARM? Miley Cyrus on Instagram

Nick Jonas on Instagram later this year, on 400 women, shows an even darker side to the selfie-taker’s personality. In what Fox has called, ‘The Dark Triad’, the study showed people who post selfies on social networks are more likely to exhibit three extremely negative personality traits, the first two being the already discussed narcissism and psychopathy; but the latest study shows that regular selfie takers also rate much higher than their peers on Machiavellian scales. In short, they love to manipulate others.

“It’s not a wonderful personality constellation,” says Fox, who is adamant that the results were as statistically conclusive as possible. The new study also showed that the more people changed their profile picture, the more likely they were to report narcissistic traits, while posting frequent status updates and sharing links with a greater frequency were specifically linked with more narcissistic tendencies in women.

So how does this translate into the real world?

According to psychologists we should be careful of diagnosing people as being psychopathic or narcissistic based on these studies and their social media profiles.

After all, showing the tendencies of psychopathy doesn’t mean a person is a full-blown psychopath. That said, as indicated in the latest studies, posting a lot of selfies does incur responses from the people who see them that have real world effects. A study from the Birmingham business school conclusively showed that people who post a lot of selfies tend to have shallower real world relationships, and can actually cause relationships the selfie-taker thought were strong and close to become eroded and less important to the selfietaker’s friend.

To come to this conclusion, the professors asked 508 Facebook users with an average age of 24 to rank how close they feel to their friends, co-workers and relatives who also use Facebook. They then compared those answers to how many selfies those people posted.

Overwhelmingly, the more someone posted selfies, the lower they ranked on the intimacy scales of the participants.

“People don’t seem to relate well to those who constantly share photos of themselves,” said Dr David Houghton, a professor at Birmingham Business School and lead author of the paper in a statement. “It’s worth remembering that the information we post to our ‘friends’ on Facebook, actually gets viewed by lots of different categories of people: partners, friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances; and each group seems to take a different view of the information shared.”

JET-SETTING WITH Lee-Roy Wright

WE sat down with Lee-Roy to talk travel.

BY LETITIA HEROLD

T

ELEVISION personality Lee-Roy Wright shares his travel adventures with us. The star recently holidayed in America and lists Rome as his dream holiday destination.

Was this your first time travelling to Los Angeles and Las Vegas?

Yes, this was my first time.

Tell us about the trip.

I spent four days in LA and five in Las Vegas.

I visited the Universal Studios Theme Park, Hollywood Boulevard, the Chinese Theatre, saw the famous Dolby Theatre (the Oscars take place here). In Las Vegas I managed to be front row at Jennifer Lopez’s All I Have residency show. I was also lucky enough to catch Céline Dion at her Vegas residency! Then I saw Mat Franco (winner of America’s Got Talent) and took a full day trip to the Grand What happens in Vegas…

Canyon. All in all, it was a very busy trip, filled with everything anybody would want to do in America.

How many hours did you spend in transit/ travelling?

Travelling was quite intense. It was only two flights to LA and transit was only five hours. Coming back was hectic. Not only did I have four flights back to SA, but in total I had about 10 hours in transit. I was exhausted.

Do you prefer a window or an aisle seat?

I am definitely an aisle person. I feel there is more space.

What’s in your carry-on bag?

I’m quite simple. All I have is my neck pillow, my iPod, my cellphone charger and a spare change of clothes.

Oh, and let’s not forget the sweets. Gotta have munchies for the flight.

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

Which resorts or hotels did you stay in?

In LA I actually stayed in an apartment just off Hollywood Boulevard. I found the place on Air B&B (an online app used for finding accommodation).

In Vegas I stayed in one of their awesome themed hotels, Excalibur.

Your favourite tourist spots in LA and Las Vegas?

LA: Hollywood Boulevard (of course) and The Grove.

Las Vegas: All the hotels and just the vibe. The whole of Vegas is a tourist hotspot. Every casino and hotel offers something different.

Most memorable moment about this trip?

There is no doubt that my most memorable experience was visiting Universal Studios. Wow, what an experience to be there and to experience all the film themebased rides.

It really is a Carlo’s magical world.

Bakery delights Did you manage to rub shoulders with any A-listers on your travels?

Yes. I spotted celebrity chef Curtis Stone doing a demonstration at an organic food market in LA and I got a picture with former E! News host Terrence J while waiting in line for the Jennifer Lopez concert.

Did you try any interesting cuisine?

I am a huge burger fan, so I literally tried to taste every single burger I could find. From Wendy’s, In ‘n

Out to just local hotspots. And hey, it’s the American thing to do. Oh, and I managed to taste one of Buddy Valastro’s famous desserts – The Lobster Tail at his restaurant in Las Vegas.

Fave item you bought?

I bought this amazing Paristhemed cookie jar. Yes, a cookie jar, and it is awesome!

If you could travel with a Hollywood celebrity, who would It was an out of it be and why? this universe It would have to be Charlize experience Theron. I am a little obsessed with her. Besides being beautiful, I think she would be the best person to relate to, and I have Googled her, she has an amazing home. So I think lying on her couch with some wine would be bliss.

What do you love the most about travelling?

Making new memories. Even though travelling for most South Africans has become super expensive due to our exchange rate, I think one needs to travel. It’s about seeing new places and experiencing different ways of life. There’s nothing like arriving at a place and getting ‘lost’ whilst you’re exploring.

Travel items you can’t do without?

Sunglasses, cellphone and lip ice.

Dream holiday destination and why?

Rome. The Colosseum is EVERYTHING! I love ancient Roman culture, the brutality and ‘realness’ of it fascinates me. Gladiator is my favourite film of all time, so I need to see the Colosseum next!

With TV host Terrence Jenkins

J.Lo was on fire!

What projects are you currently busy with?

I am host to a new tech-based show called Edge. The show airs on DStv channel 190, named ED. Also, I am a part of the Jacaranda FM breakfast team, The Complimentary Breakfast. I am the show’s digital content producer. With all of that, I am still running my own PR and social media agency – The Platinum Club.

Tell us about the Céline Dion and J.Lo Concerts.

There’s a reason that Céline Dion is the Queen of Las Vegas residencies. She is breathtakingly perfect! She has mastered her show over the years and really gives audiences an intimate experience of her life through her music. She even has a fun side and this is when she tried to ‘get down and funky’ with the audience. As for Jennifer Lopez, she is a STAR! I’ve interviewed

The Dolby Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard

Travel tips?

Always know where you’re going!

What I mean is, be prepared.

Always have a back-up plan if things don’t work out.

Your best holiday experience?

To date, London has been my favourite. But now I can honestly say that America has taken that spot in my heart. The place is incredible. It really is what you see in the movies and what you read in the magazines. It’s perfect!

and seen most of the big performers out there, but I have never seen a true star perform. J.Lo, for me, defines star power. She is at home in Vegas and her show is all glitz, glamour and a whole lot of sex appeal. If you want to see Hollywood star power performing with all the bells and whistles, J.Lo’s All I Have is a must!

New York New York hotel in Vegas

Hand in hand with Vin Diesel at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood

Hogwarts or bust! In front of the new Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios

Worst travel experience?

I haven’t really had a bad experience. Out of all the places I have been to, Israel was probably the least exciting. A beautiful place, but it felt ‘the same’. There wasn’t much that stood out besides Jerusalem.

Biggest packing mistake?

I always seem to pack too much and then I have no space for things I buy. I always make this mistake!

Where to next?

Well, now that I have exhausted my budget, I am going to remain at home for now. But next on my list is Rome. No doubt!

ASTRO PROFILE WHAT THE STARS SAY ABOUT...

HARRISON FORD July 13, 1942

PIC: ELITEPHOTOAGENCY

A

MERICAN actor and director Harrison Ford is an Academynominated actor, and Lifetime Achievement winner, and is best known for his role as Han Solo, the space pilot in the Star Wars movie series, and in the title role in the Indiana Jones film series. Ford, who is married to Calista Flockhart (Scorpio), is a Sun Cancer with Libra Rising and Moon in Cancer and Mars in Leo, so he is highly intuitive and domesticated yet is also creative with fine dramatic instincts. It is unsurprising that he has married three times (Mary Marquardt 1964-75, Melissa Mathison 19832004, and Flockhart in 2010) because he has romantic Venus in flighty Gemini. Ford has fathered five children. One of the most financially successful actors, his films have grossed colossal returns – and he is placed second only to Tom Hanks (Cancer) in the all-time American box-office star ratings.

Lemony Sweet Potatoes

BY VERA FOURIE

PICS: FOTOLIA / GREATSTOCK

J

ENNIFER GARNER wears many hats – actress, mother, producer, and activist – but the role she identifies with most is being a Garner girl, along with her mother, Patricia, and sisters, Melissa and Susannah. The movie star, born in Texas, treasures her southern roots. While she is a true believer in healthy nutrition plans, there is one side dish that she says she could never live without, and that’s the recipe we’re bringing you this week!

Ingredients

One kilogram of sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into chunks) One tablespoon of olive oil Half a teaspoon of salt Ground black pepper Two tablespoons of maple syrup Two tablespoons of lemon juice

Method

PREHEAT the oven to 190ºC. Place the sweet potatoes in an oven dish and sprinkle the olive oil, salt and pepper over them. Bake in the oven until tender, around 25 to 30 minutes. Whisk the syrup and lemon juice in a small bowl, remove the potatoes from the oven, and drizzle half the maple-lemon mixture over them. Stir gently, place back in the oven, and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes turn a golden brown. Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining maple-lemon dressing and serve.

BRAIN FOOD WHILE STUDYING

S

TUDENTS need more than just quiet time to focus and study for exams. The right food is needed to keep the brain functioning and happy. Here are some foods to stock up on during exam season, and throughout the year.  Berries: A handful of berries ‒ blueberries, cherries, raspberries, cranberries and blackcurrants ‒ have significant health effects directly related to brain function. They reduce the level of toxins in your bloodstream, as well as improve blood flow to the brain and enhance neural activity as well.  Fish: The high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids found in most fish is great for neural function, say experts.  Nuts: Munch on almonds, pistachios and walnuts ‒ they all contain high levels of essential fatty acids.  Whole-Grains: Refined carbs will leave you feeling sluggish and sleepy. Whole grains have the opposite effect, say experts ‒ so eat some crackers, whole-grain breads and whole-grain pasta.

 Apples: Not only does an apple day keep the doctor away, but it helps your brain function, too. The peel of the apple includes a powerful antioxidant called quercetin that enhances memory function.  Dark Chocolate: Yes, you can indulge in delicious chocolate ‒ dark chocolate though.

It will help your mind by improving memory and increasing blood flow to the brain, which increases alertness and clarity.  Spinach: This veg is a must when studying.

Spinach is full of folic acid and has even been shown to reverse memory loss.  Legumes: Beans such as chickpeas, kidney beans, and lentils contain substantial amounts of protein that power the brain and make studying a breeze, say experts.  Milk And Yoghurt: Low-fat dairy products are reportedly packed with protein and B vitamins, which help you concentrate and work efficiently. While you’re at it, enjoy some delicious plain Greek yoghurt ‒ not only is it healthy, keeping the body in check, but it’s also super high in protein and recommended for brain health.

Dear Doc

Dr Karen Koch, a general practitioner, answers your health questions.

DEAR DOC, STRESS is making me gain weight. My current job has become extremely stressful with layoffs. I’m working around the clock. I don’t have time to go to gym. I try to eat healthily but inevitably succumb by late afternoon to sugary snacks. I know that if the stress could just stop I could lose weight. But the stress never stops. Any suggestions?

Stress Eater DEAR STRESS EATER, EMOTIONAL eating is a common problem, whether that emotional trigger is work, relationship problems or simple day-to-day stresses.

Your work sounds very hectic and I do hope things improve. But to be honest there is always something stressful in life. If you wait until ‘the time is right’ to eat more healthily or take care of your health you will never do it.

You need to start by being kind to yourself. I do not mean spending more time at the vending machine. I mean genuinely getting in touch with that part of you which is scared, tired and frustrated. Maybe you need five minutes to yourself to just have a cup of tea without interruptions.

The second issue is addressing the sense of hopelessness and helplessness you’re clearly experiencing. The feeling that things will never get better and that you cannot lose weight can be overwhelming – but not necessarily true. These are just feelings. So feel them and get on with your life anyway.

The final issue is that the habit of reaching for sugary snacks is essentials just a habit. Like any habit it can be broken. When you do something every day it becomes a habit. After a while you don’t even need to feel stressed to want that snack – it’s just the time of day when you normally have a chocolate bar. So interrupt your normal pattern of behaviour. It’s exactly the same way people quit smoking.

You have a craving and you distract yourself. You repeat this as many times as you need to. Initially you may have many cravings, but they really do decrease over time.

If you want to change your life you really can.

DEAR DOC, MY wife is going through her ‘change of life’ and has really bad mood swings. Initially I just thought she was ‘moody’. Often she’s a delightful and kind person. But she snaps and becomes extremely irritable. When she’s in one of these ‘moods’ there’s nothing I can do that’s right. Could it be a hormonal problem? Can menopause make somebody angry?

Moody Menopause DEAR MOODY MENOPAUSE, MENOPAUSE can lead to ‘moodiness’ but it’s not always necessarily the cause. Moody people are often suffering from depression or have other serious psychological disorders. Menopause itself is not pleasant. Hot flushes, disturbed sleep and the psychological impact of reaching menopause are all additive factors. Some scientists believe that the reduction in the hormone oestrogen could also have psychological implications.

Helping your partner through menopause requires some emotional maturity. If she’s in a particularly foul mood then make sure you ask her how she is really feeling. Anger may mask anxiety, fear or sadness. Admittedly you may get your head snapped off but you’ll get brownie points for trying.

Try not to take the anger outbursts personally. The symptoms tend to be much worse immediately before and after menopause. Happier days are coming. Do what you can to help – bring her ice chips, offer to put on the fan and let her know she’s loved If her symptoms worsen you need to encourage her to speak to her doctor about her symptoms. She may be suffering from full-blown depression, in which case she needs medication.

Adele Hits The Streets In Amsterdam

DELE and her family were seen enjoying a bike ride while in Amsterdam recently. The singer, who has shed a great amount of weight lately, is clearly enjoying her new lifestyle ‒ and we’re glad she’s got the whole family involved too.

Always Wear Correct Running Shoes

YOU’RE not going for a stroll in the neighbourhood to show off your stylish sneakers. Running as a sport means being serious about your training ‒ and your feet. So make sure you buy yourself a pair of the right running shoes before getting started. They need to be comfortable and able to prevent injury. Best way to know which pair is right is to chat to a running speciality store ‒ and remember, experts suggest they be replaced every 480 to 640 kilometres.

Warm Up And Cool Down

GETTING your daily exercise is just fabulous. But did you warm up first and cool down after? Why not? According to experts, it’s crucial you do so. A good warm up, according to Verywell.com, signals to your body that it will have to start working soon. By warming up you’re slowing raising your heart rate. The cool-down on the other hand allows your heart rate and blood pressure to fall gradually, avoiding leaving your body in shock. Always end your run, for example, with a slow five-minute jog or walk.

MEL B was also spotted getting her sweat on while jogging along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles recently. The star, who stood out in her loud gym gear and weighted vest, may have been a little distracted on her phone. Knowing her, though, she was probably just tracking her steps. Remember, you don’t need a smartwatch, fitness band or pedometer to do so ‒ there are apps to help you achieve your goals.

Nutrition Tips For Kids

WE’RE not saying deprive your children of all things nice, but ensure they follow a healthy diet 80 percent of the time. Kids will be kids ‒ that means sweets, chocolates and lots of juice whenever they can get their hands on it ‒ but keeping their meals healthy and simple at home will help them stay fit and happy; and grow up to understand the importance of it. Here are some ways to do so:  Start their day off with a big, healthy breakfast ‒ high-fibre cereal, whole-grain breads, yoghurt or fruit.  For lunch make them a sandwich on whole-grain bread, and make sure they have fruit to snack on; keep all meals as high-nutrient as possible.  When it comes to dinner, make sure they have a decent portion of food ‒ healthy food, of course. If they enjoy pasta, try sticking to brown pasta, and opt for boiled or grilled food instead of fried. Remember to cut off as much fat as possible.  Buy leaner meats such as turkey or chicken for their sandwiches.  Cut up veggies such as carrots and cucumber and add that to their lunch boxes.  Make them a delicious salad with tuna or chicken and low-fat salad dressing.  Peanut butter is great for sandwiches too ‒ it’s healthy, filled with protein and will keep them full and satisfied.  Raisins, grapes, strawberries and pineapple chunks are great for lunch boxes too.  And when it comes to dessert, try sticking to fat-free frozen yoghurt or sorbet.

Inside Hilary Duff’s Diet

Elle Macpherson’s Alkaline Diet

KNOWN as ‘The Body’, Elle Macpherson revealed that she follows the Alkaline Diet, which involves eating mainly alkaline food ‒ fresh produce, roots, nuts and legumes ‒ to keep her body’s pH between 7.35 and 7.45.

SINCE we’ve just caught her working out quite hard, we thought we’d do some digging and share some of her diet secrets. The singer-actress, who is known for her curvy yet gorgeous body, has always felt pressure from Hollywood to shed some kilos. But fact is, she knows how to eat right and train hard ‒ and in our opinion she’s looking just fab.

According to Healthyceleb.com, Duff is serious about eating everything in moderation. The mother of one used to jump from one crash diet to another, until she finally realised that moderation is key in any diet. Duff reportedly admits to eating pasta, pizza and French fries, but she knowns when and how much to indulge. According to sources, if Duff eats bread for breakfast, she will stick to lean proteins for lunch and dinner. Duff also embraced the Freshology diet plan, which, for moms who are breastfeeding, is a great way to shed the kilos in a healthy way. It allows breastfeeding moms to enjoy 2 200 ‒ 2 500 calories a day, but the diet consists of fruits, veggies, lean proteins and healthy fats.

Tone Up With Resistance Training Like

AR REFAELI steams up catwalks and screens for a living, so health and fitness is her top priority.

Tone up like the supermodel with one simple piece of equipment.

Bar Refaeli

THE beautiful blonde puts working out at the top of her to-do list, and pencils in four hourly sessions of exercise a week. Being health-conscious makes it easier for her to eat clean, and she naturally steers clear of excess caffeine, alcohol, sugar and salt. Bar loves Pilates, and particularly favours resistance band workouts. This keeps her core strong, whilst providing a full-body toning workout.

1

POSITION yourself in a bridge position with a band looped tightly around your thighs.

Keeping your torso strong from shoulders to knees, push your legs out against the band for resistance. Hold for a moment then return to your starting position. Aim for three sets of 10 – 15 reps.

82 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

BEND into a lunge position, with one end of a resistance band trapped under your foot and the other in the opposite hand.

Slowly stand up, straightening your legs and pulling your elbow upwards and backwards behind you. Pause when your elbow is at shoulder height then return to your starting position. The challenging part of the exercise for your legs will be the downward movement, whilst the upward movement will challenge your arms and back. Aim for three sets of 10 – 15 reps on either side.

WWW.ELITEPHOTOAGENCY.COM

STAND with your legs wide and toes turned out. Secure a band under your feet, holding either end in each hand. Keeping your back straight, sink into a squat. As you do so, bend your forearms to 90 degrees, creating resistance with the band. Hold for a moment then return to your starting position. Aim for three sets of 10 – 15 reps, depending on your fitness levels.

What are your three major winter-style turnoffs?

I don’t really have anything specific because I believe something may look horrible or great depending on how you put it together, but I do hate men’s jeans that have elastic at the bottom; I think they are hideous. I know they are not seasonal but I just don’t like ’em.

Describe yourself in five words?

God-fearing, fun, fabulous, blessed and LOVE!

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Where God wants me to be. I’ve always made plans for my life until I realised that only the will of God should prevail, but He knows that I wanna be happily married with children, with the businesses I am working on highly successful, I’d love to spread the word more and help people realised what a wonderful thing it is to have a relationship with God. I want to help the next generation take it to the next level in business in entertainment in life, so the projects I’m working on are about that. If in five years I can change in a big way the lives of at least 100 people I will have done justice to my purpose because those 100 will go and change thousands of lives and the ball will keep rolling and growing.

What’s the next big thing you would love to do?

Get married and start a family. I love children. I always think about what it’s gonna be like to carry and deliver my own, take care of them ‒ you know, the responsibility of having another human being fully rely on you, it’s the greatest and I want that. I’ve accomplished a lot in my career and will continue to; I want to do the same on the personal front.

What gives you great satisfaction?

A lot of things: knowing that I am created for a greater purpose, helping the next person, doing what I love, spending time with my family and talking crazy all day long, going to church… I love going to church; it calms my soul.

Less or more?

Less please, that’s why I love summer ‒ I get to dress less.

Okay, heels: wedge platform or flattie?

Definitely platform! I had my first pair at 11 ‒ they were pink and strappy.

What is one thing you can’t live without?

My relationship with God has become the most important in my life; I don’t see my life without that connection with Him. I’ve grown to love God in ways I can never explain.

What are three key pieces for winter?

A coat you can dress up or down, I find leather gloves sexy and sophisticated and you definitely have to have a great pair of boots.

What is the best fashion advice you can give to girls out there?

You don’t have to be naked to be attractive or feel sexy…

Tell us more about what you are currently doing?

I just finished shooting the second season of Sunday Chillaz, and just joined the new lineup of Rise FM ‒ I’ll be doing the mid-morning show… Very excited about this! I’ve co-hosted a radio show before, now I’m getting an opportunity to do it on my own. My group Klassique is still pushing the music and I have a few projects that I cannot speak about at the moment...

BIGGER is better, and this formula deepens, darkens and makes lashes look thicker. The full-sized brush reaches from root to tip while perfectly building beautifully fuller-looking lashes.

“Y

OU look tired,” is probably the worst thing to hear someone say to you at school or work.

Pair this sign of sleepiness with bleariness, dark circles or crow’s feet and suddenly you can look totally haggard. Just use one (or all) of these 10 tips to make eyes look bigger and brighter.

1

ADDING a highlighter under the tail of your eyebrow on the highest part of your eye socket (on the brow bone) will give mega-lift to your eye by drawing the attention upwards.

High Brow Pencil: R305,

CREATING length coming up and out of the eye draws the focus away from the lash line, making the eye look wide awake. To achieve this effect, invest in a pair of lash curlers, and curl before applying mascara.

COOLER tones help to make the whites of your eyes appear brighter, which then makes them look bigger as well, so reach for the blue eyeshadow palette.

TO make eyes pop, focus a light shadow on the inner-third of your eyelid, closest to your tear duct.

Gel Smooth Liner in Charcoal: R179, Almay

5

DON’T apply eyeliner all the way around your eyes. Instead, line just below the lash line (not inside the rim) and end off three quarters of the way, not all the way to the inner corner.

6

WANT to seriously step it up? Use two sets of falsies instead of one. One for length and one for thickness equals serious drama for eyes.

Love To Try It Duo Kit: R60, Eylure

7

FULL lashes can definitely make eyes look bigger. Invest in an eyelash serum that actually works.

TO brighten dark undereye circles, start with a pink-toned concealer before layering a yellowtoned concealer over.

PERFECTLY arched eyebrows create a flattering frame for eyes. And anything that accentuates the eyes is going to make them appear larger. Tweeze away stray hairs and fill in gaps with an eyebrow pencil. Then brush brows up (this is key) and over with a spoolie for a softer, but defined shape.

Eyebrow Pencil In Dark Brown: R255, Clarins

10

FRAME your eyes by applying a thin strip of black liquid liner along the base of your upper lashes and end it off with a tiny flick to draw the eye out.
