IT’S not every day that a future king swoops in by helicopter to rescue you.

That is what Prince William did for Jim Schembri, but he was almost too drugged to notice. The 37-year-old arborist was injured when a branch collapsed and he fell out of a tree, dislocating his hip and shoulder. Enter the superprince and qualified medic.

William, second in line for the British throne, held Schembri’s head at the scene for 30 minutes and stayed with him even longer at the emergency room. The Prince made history last year when he became the first member of the Royal Family in direct succession to the throne to take a civilian job – as an air ambulance pilot – working four days on, four days off, to balance work, family and royal obligations. And the hardworking Duke donates all of his salary to charity!

Dickinson, who lost her mother to cancer, said she remains strong, mostly for her children and grandchildren. “Don’t feel sorry for me, this is not a pity party, I’m Janice Dickinson and I’m gonna stick around for a long, long time, you ain’t getting rid of me yet,” she said!

O we have some fabulous celeb bodies for you in this week’s issue! We spotted Princess Stéphanie (pages 6 and 7), Nicole Kidman and Heidi Klum looking oh-so-fabulous in their little bikinis on pages 12 and 13. Britney Spears gives us the low-down on her diet and how she got back into shape on pages 16 and 17. The cold months are just around the corner and we do tend to eat more! As the weather starts warming up towards September, that’s when we decide to start our training and eating programme again. Don’t let this happen to you this year. Let’s try and maintain our healthy eating plans and train during the cold months. It’s hard, I know, but you’ll be happy with the results when summer comes, I promise!

This week’s must-read has to be about 55-year-old Tiamat, originally transgender, but ‘it’ (as Tiamat prefers to be called) has now made the decision to have no gender, by removing its penis and not having any replacement female sexual organ created. Tiamat has had its ears removed,

horns implanted on its forehead and tattoos and scarification on its face to resemble snake scales – Tiamat wants to be known as a DRAGON. Yes, you read right!

Turn to pages 52 and 53 to see how far this adventurous person has come. It takes all types of people to make our wonderful world go round.

Feeling a bit old? Need a lift or two? Then next week’s special issue is a must read for you!

Don’t miss it!

Until then, ENJOY!

ABE SEGAL may not be a name that’s immediately recognisable to most of us, but that’s because of the times in which he rose to sporting fame. Abe was a South African tennis player, whom, during the 1950s and ’60s, was the doubles partner of Gordon Forbes. Together, they were considered one of the best doubles teams in the world. Due to South Africa’s policy of Apartheid, other teams refused to compete in the 1964 Wimbledon final against them, because they were white South Africans. In 1951, though, he won the singles title at the Irish Open.

He played for the South African Davis Cup team in 19 ties over the years and compiled a record of 24 wins and 14 losses. He sadly died of cancer on April 4 this year at the age of 85.

THE sexy Halle Berry was spotted out and about in West Hollywood, California with her adorable mini-me, Nahla Aubry. The actress was seen recently on holiday with her ex husband, Olivier Martinez, but even a famous celebrity has to do mommy chores every so often, and we have to admit, she carried it off looking super cool and casual in a tye-dye T-shirt, jeans and slip-on sandals. Interestingly, the X-Men star was later seen leaving Bill Hargate Costumes, famous for creating some of Hollywood’s best superhero outfits. Do we see a superhero movie role (other than Storm from X-Men, of course) coming up in the future for Ms Berry?

Louis Is Quite The Family Man GUESS who we saw showing off his daddy skills recently? Yep, you guessed it – One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson. The 24-year-old idol was spotted alongside actress girlfriend Danielle Campbell, his parents, granddad, siblings, as well as Tomlinson’s son, little Freddie, on a low-key family excursion at Calabasas Commons. According to reports, Louis has just relocated to California to spend more time with his son. He is the first member of the award-winning group to have a child, and it seems he’s doing a great job, despite the drama of his break up with baby mama Briana Jungwirth. Louis looked to be in a happy place, and it’s no doubt due to the large family support structure he has around him. And it certainly helps that the chart-topper’s family is fond of Danielle.

The 41-year-old Desperate Housewives actress was attending an Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds 25th Anniversary Celebration held at The Glasshouses in New York recently, dressed in a strapless silver number. And although Eva Longoria was doing what she does best, striking glamorous poses, we could not help but focus on that serious overflow of boobage and pit, as if she was being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste! She is one of our favourite style icons, though, so we guess she’s allowed the occasional wardrobe faux pas… But we’re watching you, Eva!

Is Princess Stéphanie In Love Again?

OMG! Look At Her Now!

IT’S not every day you spot a princess getting rather cosy on vacation with her partner. But when it comes to princesses, Princess Stéphanie of Monaco has always been a little different to the rest – and well, not shy to change boyfriends every few years, either.

Flashing her many tattoos in rather tight-fitting bikinis, the 51-year-old didn’t seem fazed by the attention she was getting from the paparazzi – or anyone else, for that matter.

And while we know the royal once had a gorgeous body – which she has flaunted many times in Mauritius over the years on various occasions – we don’t know much about the new man in her life, except that the mystery man’s name is David and that the pair recently enjoyed a vacation in Mauritius.

Stéphanie, the daughter of the late Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and actress Grace Kelly, has been in a number of relationships over the years. She dated Paul Belmondo, Anthony Delon, Rob Lowe and Jean-Yves Le Fur, before beginning a relationship with her bodyguard Daniel Ducruet, whom she later married – the pair have two children together. She also has a third child, reportedly by Jean Raymond Gottlieb.

In 2001, she began a relationship with married elephant trainer Franco Knie. She even moved into his circus caravan, along with her three children. However, this relationship came to an end too, and the family returned to Monaco.

In 2003, Princess Stéphanie married Portuguese acrobat Adans Lopez Peres, a member of Knie’s circus ensemble – the marriage ended in November 2004.

Over the years, Stéphanie has also modelled, worked in fashion – even launching a swimwear line called Pool Position with Alix de la Comble, whom she had met during her internship at Dior – and had a career in music.

Stéphanie is also the president of several associations, including Monaco Youth Centre and Princess Stéphanie Activity Centre, and is an honorary board member of the Princess Grace Foundation – United States.

MTV Movie Awards Carpet d e R F

BY SUZY MUKENDI

HOLLYWOOD’S hottest stars definitely didn’t disappoint in the style category this year!

ASHION on the red carpet is always unpredictable, so every year we brace ourselves for the inevitable hits and misses.

This year we were stunned to see how the style was clean, simple and glamourous, with a sophisticated dose of plunging necklines and sheer detailing. Have a look at a few of the outfit choices from the MTV Movie Awards.

Kendall Jenner

Cara Delevingne

KENDALL stepped out in a ruffled black halter corset, asymmetric skirt and laceup shoes to die for! The Kristian Aadnevik outfit was a showstopper!

ONE of our favourite looks from the evening, Cara rocked the Balmain velvet threads with sheer detailing.

Halsey

Hmm, this would’ve worked better if these items were worn separately and used to create different looks. Big ups for wearing what you want to, though, Halsey!

Charlize Theron

CHARLIZE left us speechless in this seethrough Alexander McQueen dress, oozing edgy sex appeal.

Lizzy Caplan

WHEN wearing an outfit that is full-on sequin, it’s best to keep accessories to a minimum, so we love Lizzy’s look in this Sally Lapointe dress.

Baddie Winkle

Holland Roden HOLLAND opted for this electric blue Christian Siriano jumpsuit which complements her colouring perfectly.

8 PEOPLE

WOAH! Very pink! We know the 87-yearold is going to inspire a meme with this hot pink look! Even though it’s over the top, we love that Winkle always stays true to her eccentric style.

Gigi Hadid

Emilia Clarke

THE 29-yearold looked sensational in a pillar shape with plunging neckline and strappy heels.

GIGI was a Bond girl for the night in a Versace pinstriped suit.

We loved that she opted for a different style and rocked it!

Jessica Chastain

JESSICA showed off her assets in this classic corset with sophisticated beading by Givenchy.

T’S been a long, hard battle which Michael J. Fox has fought bravely, but sources claim that the star’s public fight with Parkinson’s disease could be coming to an end.

The actor, author, producer and advocate started showing signs of the disease in 1991 while shooting the movie Doc Hollywood. And while he was only properly diagnosed a year later, Fox never allowed his illness to affect his career.

But now, insiders say, the 54-year-old’s speech is slurred and his left foot is so unresponsive that he at times is forced to drag it behind him. According to sources, the actor was seen struggling while taking his wife, Tracy Pollan, out earlier this year. Insiders say Fox required several helpers to enter and exit his vehicle. “It was heartbreaking. Michael’s bravery knows no bounds. But as the disease takes its toll on his body, even he is beginning to see that his battle is a losing one,” says a source.

But Michael – who is expected to become wheelchair dependant by the age of 60 – remains a true warrior, say those close to him, who add that he won’t allow the disease to cloud his overall view on life and living.

A friend adds, “Michael sees every day as a gift, as well as an opportunity to help other sufferers. His foundation has raised millions of dollars, but a cure remains out of reach. Michael may be down, but he’s not out. It was a struggle for him during his rare outing, but as he headed away from the restaurant he even managed to flash a peace sign to his fans from the back of the limo.”

He was even spotted out gate-crashing the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame along with friends Tom Hanks and Michael Douglas recently. The A-listers joined the crowds at the Barclays Centre of Brooklyn, and while Michael looked frail, he tried his best to enjoy himself.

When diagnosed in the early ’90s, Fox began drinking more heavily than in the past. Luckily, however, he sought help and stopped drinking completely.

In denial for many years about his condition, the

Follow us on twitter.com/people_sa

actor later created The Michael J. Fox Foundation to help advance research into curing Parkinson’s disease, including embryonic stem cell studies. As the years passed, and his battle continued, the star didn’t let the disease get him down – he continued working hard in Hollywood, with wife by his side all the way.

In 2006, the actor starred in a campaign ad for then-State Auditor of Missouri Claire McGaskill in her successful 2006 Senate campaign, expressing her support for stem-cell research. In the ad, he visibly showed the effects of his Parkinson’s disease, with the New York Times calling it ‘one of the most powerful and talked about political advertisements in years’.

Fox has also written two books since being diagnosed. Lucky Man focused on how, after seven years of denial of the disease, he set up his foundation, stopped drinking and began advocating for people living with Parkinson’s.

In Always Looking Up: The Adventures Of An Incurable Optimist, he describes his life between 1999 and 2009, with much of the book centred around how Fox got into campaigning for stem-cell research.

Over the years he has also appeared on various talk shows, including The Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr Oz to publicly discuss his condition, his books and his family. He was named one of the 100 people ‘whose power, talent and moral example is transforming the world’ in 2007 by Time magazine.

The star of hit movies and TV shows, including the Back To The Future franchise and Spin City, also received an honorary doctorate in medicine from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden in 2010 for his contributions to Parkinson’s research, as well as an honorary doctorate of laws from the University Of British Columbia, which recognised his accomplishments as a performer as well as his commitment to raising research funding and awareness for Parkinson’s disease.

The Family That Gyms Together...

THEY say the camera adds about 5kg, which may explain why the world’s most famous sporting family is being extra active – they’re wanting their own reality show! While most families bond through movies or lunch dates, this family opts to spend time together at the gym! Posh and Becks, who’ve been married for 17 years (and we hope for many more! See the next page for rumours of a split, and the reality show!) took their kids out to gym session in West Hollywood recently. After a hefty gym session, the stars were spotted leaving the area looking closer than ever – could it all just be for show?

Youngest Beckham child Harper seemed to have had the best time.

The four-year-old cutie was seen all smiles after a healthy dose of quality time with her family! We have to say, though, that we were the happiest getting to see David’s fabulous form (and we see he’s had a sexy new ink addition to his leg made)! Talk about getting our pulses up!

BECKHAMS TO BE THE NEW

BY MARTIN SMITH

Kardashians?

ATTENTION-LOVING Posh and Becks are in talks to have their own reality show....

Despite rumours of marital trouble!

A

David’s new ink

ND the pair are looking for a R600-million deal for just 12 episodes spread over two seasons of a Kardashian-style series.

That’s the reason the glamour couple and their kids have been so visible in Los Angeles recently.

Posh even took four-year-old daughter Harper to get a mani-pedi at a nail spa in front of photographers.

And Brooklyn – who fancies himself as a heartthrob – has been showing off his muscles while working out in the gym.

Although the Beckhams split their time between Britain and America, the show will be shot almost exclusively in Los Angeles.

“Victoria just doesn’t want the cameras inside their London home. She says that is her private sanctuary,” discloses an insider.

Sources say that the show will be ‘standard reality show fodder’ of the Beckhams out and about, leading their ‘normal’ life in California.

“It’s sure to feature David going to SoulCycle, having a road trip someplace with his biker buddies, and stuff like Brooklyn skateboarding, maybe even going on a date,” says the source.

“Posh thinks that it’s the perfect opportunity to get free publicity for her struggling fashion empire, as well as turning the kids into celebs in their own right. She is hoping the children will get modelling gigs and endorsement deals. And it will help promote Brooklyn’s talents as a photographer.”

American TV bosses from at least three networks are said to have been clamouring for months to feature the Beckham clan in a Keeping Up With The Kardashians-style series.

“Posh and Becks have always resisted until now. But they feel that the kids are growing up and they have little to lose and a lot to gain. The Beckhams would be a huge hit on TV and the show is sure to be syndicated around the world. Women just adore looking at David, they are fascinated by Victoria and now, suddenly, there’s Brooklyn and the kids grabbing everyone’s attention.”

But while Victoria is feverishly driving the idea, David is concerned about the impact it could have on their family life, especially as there have been headlines for months suggesting that their marriage is having problems.

“Let’s face it, things haven’t been ideal between them for a while.

David has seen what happens on the Kardashians’ shows and he’s not sure he wants to go through all that,” says the friend.

“He was a big fan of The Osbournes reality show – and look how they turned out!”

David is also said to be alarmed that the show might highlight friction between the couple and destroy their perfectly honed image.

“Things can get quite testy between them behind closed doors and the last thing they want is any flashpoints on screen. They are determined the show will present them as the model family.”

The football hunk has been getting advice from his close friend, TV chef and reality star Gordon Ramsay.

“Gordon knows the TV biz inside out,” explains the friend. “He is telling Becks to go for it – and says it might be the making of their marriage. And if the worst comes to the worst, they can always fake it for the cameras and think of the money!”

SUPERMODEL Heidi Klum seems intent on making us green with envy as she was spotted out on the beach with her toy boy Vito Schnabel in St Barts! The 42-year-old hit the beach in a tiny two-piece bikini to show off her incredible body while her young lover also put his physique on display in green swim trunks. Not quite the man-candy we’re used to seeing, but hey, Heidi doesn’t seem to be complaining. The pair couldn’t keep their hands (or lips!) off one another, so they certainly seem in love – or in lust at the very least. The May-December romance started in February 2014 and the supermodel declared her love for her art dealer beau on his birthday.

She was diagnosed at age of 34 with stage three bile duct cancer, which attacks the digestive tract leading to the liver. “Daisy passed on in peace and filled with joy, surrounded by her family and friends. We are all saddened to lose this wonderful woman,” said a Bravo spokesperson.

Meadow Walker Scores R150-Million IT may not bring back her father, Paul Walker, but Meadow Walker will at least be taken care of after she struck a deal with the estate of the driver of the car in which her dad died, Roger Rodas.

The 17-year-old will be walking away with a settlement worth over R150-million. Meadow is not done yet, though, as she is still working on a lawsuit against Porsche, claiming various design defects in the racing car caused the crash.

FORTY EIGHT never looked so good! In other bikini news, Aussie actress Nicole Kidman was spotted splashing around in the warm waters of Balmoral Beach in Sydney, Australia. The star was joined by her mother Janelle and didn’t shy away from the cameras – well, neither would we if we looked like that in a teeny-weeny blue floral number! She sure rocked that thing and we hardly noticed that the Grace Of Monaco actress had her breast implants removed following a health scare recently.

But where’s Keith? Does this mean there’s any substance to the rumours that she and singer husband Keith Urban have allegedly gone their separate ways? Apparently the couple, married for a decade, once had a such a big row that Kidman actually skipped her father-in-law’s funeral last December! But fear not! We spotted the pair on the red carpet at the ACM Awards recently in Las Vegas exchanging kisses and looking happily in love, so it seems the waters there, like at Balmoral, are clear and calm!

KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN seems to have had enough of trying to help Lamar Odom deal with his problems. She has already came out saying she was done with her marriage to Lamar but was willing to help him get over his problems. It seems though that she has decided to walk away from him completely. Khloé recently posted an emotional post on her Instagram alluding to her failed efforts to help her husband. “We have to learn to stop taking on people’s problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back,” she wrote.

KARDASHIANS BANNED

BY ANGELA BEKIARIS

From Rob’s Wedding!

T

HEY’VE been dating for about five minutes, but in true Kardashian fashion, Rob has popped the question – and Blac Chyna has said yes, of course!

In a rather complicated situation – in which Rob, who was in isolation due to depression for years, decided to suddenly date and now marry the woman who has given sister Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend, Tyga, a child – it seems it really is quite hard to keep up with the Kardashians. But we’re trying.

So, while Tyga revealed he was happy for the pair when news broke that the Kardashian had asked his new love to spend the rest of his life with him, the clan themselves aren’t taking him seriously; and now Blac’s mom is now banning the famous clan from the nuptials! It’s all a little too much – for us, too – so we’re giving you the low-down, slowly…

Tyga Gives His Blessing – Or Does He?

“EVERYBODY deserves [to] be happy,” Tyga wrote on Twitter after hearing the news. “It makes me happy to see the mother of my son happy. My only concern in this situation is my son. I want him in happy

ROB KARDASHIAN popped the question – and now the drama begins.

environments.” Tyga went on to address ‘negativity’ surrounding the complicated family connections between all involved parties. But another source says Tyga is determined to destroy Blac’s life. Insiders reveal that while he wants the world to think he’s happy about the news, he’s actually trying to ruin her life – by trying to get custody of their son, King Cairo, three.

Tyga has reportedly filed legal documents to get primary custody of King, according to TMZ, and sources add Tyga won’t speak to Chyna unless it’s via e-mail and they mainly communicate through their nanny. He is also allegedly calling her horrible names – like ‘drunk wh*re’, ‘deadbeat mama’ and ‘nasty b*tch’ – and is getting his friends to as well.

Rob ‘The Serial Proposer’ Kardashian

WHILE everyone’s happy that Rob Kardashian is out of depression, shedding the kilos and loving life, his family is a little concerned that this could just be yet another crush gone wrong. Offended that he never gave them the heads-up about the proposal, the family have also revealed that they’re not as upset as they are worried that this is just another time that Rob proclaims his

wheeling and dealing all kinds of projects for them, including their own six-part reality show and exclusives for a massive summer wedding,” adds the insider.

She’s even ready to put Blac on the payroll.

Double Wedding With Kylie?

AFTER news broke that Blac and Rob were getting hitched, sister Kylie reportedly gave boyfriend Tyga an ultimatum. According to reports, Kylie is pressurising Tyga into getting married now that his ex is marrying her brother – a relationship which only just began.

Kylie, say sources, is very unhappy about Blac’s joining the Kardashian/Jenner clan, and is adamant that she and Tyga need to tie the knot as soon as possible – with sources saying possibly by the (US) summer.

“Kylie’s biggest motivation is to get one up on Tyga’s baby mama, but her friends think she’s crazy to even consider it,” explains an insider. “Tyga’s got no money, his last album flopped and he’s always getting into trouble with other women, but Kylie’s decided it’s time to force his hand,” added a friend of the rapper.

“They’ve been together for a while now and she’s stuck by him, even bailing him out financially.” The insider adds, “She feels she’s invested a hell of a lot in him and it’s time he made things formal or moved on.”

Tyga and his son the situation with Rob. That he is getting himself into a situation that is not ideal for him.” undying love for someone, and never actually makes it down the aisle. They think Rob is just a serial proposer who has been in love many times before, adding that they don’t believe he will follow through on the wedding.

Sources say Rob has gushed about former Blac Chyna’s engagement ring cost a girlfriends Rita Ora whopping R4.8-million! and Adrienne Bailon – and even told his family he proposed to both. Many believe he is just a hopeless romantic who falls too fast and rushes into everything – and while he fell to his knee pretty quickly, insiders say he won’t marry Blac any time soon. Perhaps never!

If anything, sources add he feels resentment toward his family, who have not only not fully embraced his new relationship, but didn’t give him the support needed during his time in need.

Kris and her daughters were enjoying a ski trip in Vail, Colorado when Blac and Rob revealed their engagement news to the world. “No one [in his family] is jumping up and down with excitement today. They have made a united decision as a family to not comment on social media yet about Rob’s engagement. The news is not shocking, and not totally unexpected,” reveals a source.

“There has been a fear that Blac Chyna is manipulating

Blac’s Mom Bans Kardashians From Nuptials

JUST days after the news broke about Rob and Blac’s getting engaged, Blac’s mother, Tokyo Toni, blasted the Kardashians as ‘reality h**s’ who are ‘boxed or botched’. In a post on Instagram attached to a photoshopped picture of Kim, Khloé and Kylie Jenner crying while holding onto Blac’s wedding dress train, Tokyo wrote: “This is funny!! However!! Her train would be so long they asses would be in the Michigan triangle holding it and miss the wedding!! That’s how far back they will be!! Shots fired oh well!! It’s social media!! And all these reality h**s are Boxed or botched!!. Bonus – You not even going to be invited! I didn’t see the invitation ! Ps To all her fake ass friends!!

Oh b***h I see you and NO b***h will ever plan my daughters wedding but “Me” or her! #ps or her bestie – Whoever that is? [sic]” And that’s not all… Tokyo poked fun at the sisters for their Armenian heritage. “P.S -they are Armenian so no blonde hair blue eyes over here wheneva they do have a kid!! Let's get it poppin now!! Lol!! Okay whenever y'hall ready but get the point (sic)”

Blac and Rob

Kris Already Planning To Profit

WHILE she might not be 100 percent convinced that son Rob is actually going to walk down the aisle – well, with Blac, that is – sources say the momager is already plotting a multimillion-dollar wedding deal for the pair, just in case. “Kris has done a total U-turn on this romance now that it’s a possibility she could profit from it,” reveals a source, who adds, “She called Blac up and gave her a grovelling apology for resisting the relationship at first, but Kris buttered her up by telling her she now sees what a good influence she is on her son.” Rob hasn’t just reportedly lost a lot of weight, but Blac has been helping him get back into shape and take control of his life. “Kris sees these two as a major money-making asset for the family brand and she’s

BRITNEY’S

TOXIC TO FEM I

SOURCE: FEATS PRESS / PICS: GRAETSTOCK / PENMEDIA

T’S clear Sin City suits Britney Spears: the stunning singer has unveiled a va-va-voom new body after more than two years wowing audiences in Vegas, and with another 18 months of her series still to go, she revamped her sexy concert performance back in February – and now Britney’s revamped her body too!

The 34-year-old mother-of-two has been showing off her perky butt and tight abs in a series of recent social media posts, the result of a schedule packed with daily workouts on top of shows as well as a highprotein, low-fat diet.

And now the Louisiana native – who extended the contract for her concerts at the end of last year – has gone one step further, turning to the Nutrisystem diet and putting herself in the hands of personal trainer-to-the-stars Tony Martinez. Here’s her secret!

EATING RIGHT TO beat the bulge, Britney’s followed the Nutrisystem programme in the past, a series of calorie-controlled meals delivered to the door which are high in fibre and protein but low in saturated fats and sodium.

She found the system was the best way to stop herself tucking into food she makes for sons Preston, aged 10, and nine-year-old Jayden – like chocolate chip cookies, which she admits are her Achilles heel when it comes to breaking a diet!

“I try not to make those too often or I’ll eat the whole bowl of dough,” confessed Britney, who can be a whizz in the kitchen. “We spend a lot of time in the kitchen actually; maybe my kids will be doing their homework or that kind of thing when they get home from school. I love my kitchen. I love to cook, especially for my boys. I also make a mean Southern sweet tea from a recipe my mom passed on to me.

It’s really good. I love it. I make it for my boys all the time.”

Although the Nutrisystem regime packed in plenty of slow-release carbs designed to ‘help control your appetite, reduce hunger, and control cravings in between meals’, these days she prefers to stick to a protein-packed plan designed for her by Martinez.

The fitness guru, who’s also worked with Janet Jackson and Pink, says ‘smart nutrition is half the battle’ and so he helped her compile a diet to maintain her stamina for her gruelling schedule.

“I help her understand portion size and the difference between healthy and not healthy foods. Basically, I am just trying to up her protein level,” he said before her Vegas stint kicked off. “She is doing so much with rehearsals and with me and she does not have a lot of time. We try to make sure that she has between 75 – 80g of protein a day.”

Britney, who is ‘really into raw food – sushi basically’, tucks in to scrambled egg whites and wheat toast for breakfast or if she doesn’t want to be too full before a gym session she drinks a blend of milk, ice, and ViSalus shake mix before workouts, saying, “It’s the one protein shake that actually tastes good.”

She still sticks to some of the Nutrisystem principles, though, like eating lots

SINCE things here in Mzansi are cooling down weather-wise, we can’t help feel a little jealous of these stars donning their swimsuits and catching some rays. And where do we begin? Actress and singer Jessica Simpson was spotted showing off her yummy mummy bod recently. The mother-of-two channelled her inner Daisy Duke in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where she was on a mini vacay with close friends. The star was wearing skimpy denim shorts and a polka dot bikini top that certainly showcased her enormous twinnies!

Meanwhile, reality star Chantelle Connelly opted to display her petite frame in a full designer swimsuit, and boy, she got our attention!

The stunning Geordie Shore celeb was seen splashing away as she continued her sunny holiday in Tenerife.

And over in sunny Hawaii, up popped Britney Spears to show off her flat tummy in a teeny bikini.

The blonde singer was having a ball in the tropical waters and was pictured all smiles. It’s been ages since we’ve seen Spears this happy, and we wonder: Who’s the culprit?!

Similarly, TV personality Kerry Katona was spotted flaunting her assets by the pool in Gran Canaria recently, with the former Atomic Kitten songstress displaying her A-bombs in a white bikini.

out,” adds the motivated mama. “Some days I’ll just swim. Most of the time, I’m doing something every day; I’m either taking an hour hike or I’m doing my at-home workout or doing yoga.”

Her typical at-home workout consists of 20 minutes of intense cardio like running, then some light free weights and body-weight exercises like push-ups, squats, and sit-ups followed by stretches. “I like my workouts to be effective in a short amount of time.”

Britney, who loves to listen to upbeat music, has always been a hard worker when it comes to breaking a sweat, according to her former trainer Martinez.

“She loves all core workouts.

She’s a very tenacious woman.

She wants to get it done and get it done right,” he says.

The pair used his core discs for a series of ab workouts which set her on the path to her fab new physique. “We use those for mountain climbers, will do a barrel role tuck in where you turn around all the way over and then you bring your knees in. So really functional exercises that she likes, and she’s like, ‘I really feel this’.”

Before beginning her string of shows, which include flying across the stage, singing in a ring of fire or dancing in front of multiple mirrors, Martinez devised a workout plan he called ‘The Four Bs’ to build her endurance by including a mix of different exercises from sports and treadmill exercise to focussing on those famous abs.

“I like doing stuff outside with Britney more than being in a gym. Anyone can be in a gym. I try to do more functional, athletic training,” said Martinez, who calls this switching-up of Britney’s workout his ‘trickeration’ method, meaning exercise that is strenuous but also distracting because it’s more fun than work.

Elizabeth Iacuzzi, Britney’s Los Angeles-based yoga teacher, says she likes to focus on her core and her shoulders; the Bow, the Boat and the Camel are some of the star’s favourite poses.

“Sometimes we focus on the core or relaxation, but other times I just kick her butt!” she says. “Britney was definitely focused on toning, not bulking up. She loves toned arms, and abs of course – we worked on the whole deal, the whole body.”

It’s clear that the star has worked really hard on her amazing new body so it’s only right she should be revelling in it.

In the words of Martinez: “She’s old-school about working out, but I try to tell her ‘let’s try and do something different… I push her every single time to the limit. I want to make sure that she feels every little thing possible. The thing that makes me mad is she conquers it every single time. She’s like ‘that’s all you got’?”

MME FATALE of non-starchy veggies and keeping an eye on her slow-release carbs but the former junk food lover has a new approach to nutrition thanks to Martinez, who explains, “I pretty much just wanted her to balance out her proteins, carbs, and fat. Everything is pretty balanced in that aspect because she was doing a lot of cardio so I wanted her energy up the whole entire time.”

BREAKING A SWEAT BEFORE her residency began, the hitmaker got back into shape with a series of intense workouts as well as lengthy Hatha yoga sessions. “I’m doing 90-minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio; hourlong sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez,” she revealed.

Fast-forward to 2016 and performing every night is putting her banging body through its paces.

“Dancing is a great cardio workout; tough and fun at the same time,” according to Britney – but that’s not all. Now, even though she’s shaking her taut booty every night on stage for the 4 500-strong audience at The Axis at Planet Hollywood, she also manages to squeeze some exercise into her days too.

“I’m at my best when I’m busy. If I don’t work out, I’m either swimming laps, or I’m doing yoga,” says Britney.

SKELETAL ANGIE DOWN TO 36KG! Brad is said to be ‘in despair’

BY EL BROIDE

THE shocking pictures and scary details on Angie’s current weight struggle.

O

KAY. We’re officially worried about Angelia Jolie. While she has been scarily thin over the past few years, we know she was trying her best to remain healthy and happy as she balances her busy work and family lives. However, over the past few months, Angie has been shedding even more kilos and now, the actress weighs a minute 36kg – and husband Brad Pitt is desperate to get her the help she needs.

Angie drew a lot of attention to herself after stepping out at her humanitarian trip to Athens recently and showed off a more frail body than we’ve ever seen her with – her ‘hollow cheeks and sinewy arms on full display’. Now, experts predict that the Hollywood actress, whose latest film, Kung Fu Panda 3 was a huge box office success, tips the scales at a mere 36 kilos – and Brad is worried sick!

“She’s been looking increasingly frail,” a source dishes.

18 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

“Friends say at one point things got so bad that she was rushed to hospital.”

The source also explains that Brad has stood by her side during her weight issues. However, now that her life is more in danger than ever, he’s demanding she get help and gets the answers he needs. “He’s watched in despair as Angie sometimes goes a whole day without eating a solid meal,” another source adds. “Brad’s desperate for her to get the treatments she needs.”

Sources close to the 40-year-old actress reveal that her hectic lifestyle is causing these issues. Angie, though, is determined not to give up a single piece of work she takes on whether it be visiting a country as part of her humanitarian trips, a movie role or playing mom to her big family. Brad is reportedly so worried’ about Angie that the two often get into heated rows about her weight – and that stress only adds to her problems.

Brad, however, doesn’t know what else to do and is

desperate to get her health back on track.

“The strain of fighting with him…has sapped her strength and caused her to lose even more weight,” the source adds. “She’s headed for a complete physical and emotional breakdown.” After seeing these pictures of Angie in Athens, we don’t blame Brad for being so worried. Sources close to the star reveal that ‘Angie has never been this thin’ – “Her veins are popping and her bones are protruding. If she keeps pushing boundaries, her body will shut down’.

We totally understand where Brad is coming from.

Angie has always managed to keep herself incredibly busy and it wouldn’t surprise us that she often skips meals. Brad wants to make sure that Angie stays healthy as, at only 36 kilos, anything could cause the situation to take a turn for the worst. The last thing he wants is his kids to lose their mother and he to lose the love of his life.

HE art of tattooing is an ancient one. According to Smithsonianmag.com, the earliest evidence of tattoos we have is from the famous ‘Iceman’, who was discovered in 1991 mummified in ice – hence.

In addition, tattooing is a part of many cultures and traditions, including but certainly not limited to the Ancient Egyptians, the Maori tribes and the Yakuza-clans.

Despite its prevalance, tattooing has it’s fair share of risks, and ‘think before you ink’ is a common saying among tattoo enthusiasts.

Jordan Daniel Nel is an award-winning tattoo artist who has been running the Sorry Mom Tattoo Art Studio in Lonehill since 2014. He advises people to think twice about what they would like to get tattooed and how big they would like it, where they would like it done, whether or not they would like to add onto it in the future, as well as whether or not the design will still appeal to them in 10 years’ time. “Fashion changes, but tattoos last a lifetime, so think carefully,” he says, adding that one needs to also consider the policy one’s employment has when it comes to tattoo exposure.

What’s more – “If you choose a design out of a book or off the Internet, there’s a good chance that someone out there will have the same tattoo as you.” A custom design might take weeks to prepare, but it can be worth it if you would like a one-of-akind piece.

Tattoo You CANDICE is known not only for her tattoos but her legendary playlist too.

C

ANDICE SIMMONS runs Sideshow Tattoos in Hartbeespoort. After watching her husband take designs from drawing to skin-deep ink, she was inspired to hone the tattoo gun herself.

Over the years, she’s filled her empty canvas with more than 50 tattoos (after that, she stopped counting!), including a Chershire Cat on her upper arm, a skull and crossbones on her shoulder and a fiery she-devil on her leg.

For those who are looking to get their first tattoo, she recommends that they find a tattoo artist whose style and general vibe works for them, and to relax! “Pain ranges from person to person.”

Candice says that those who come in with emotional baggage also seem to find the tattoo process to be cathartic, and leave saying they felt little to no pain.

When it comes to her own client’s comfort, she keeps them talking during the session, which can last from four to six hours for a decent-sized piece. Her tattoo shop is also known for its legendary playlist, which keeps rock hits cranked.

This, clients note, manage to chill them out and get their feet moving while the buzz of the needle fades into the background…

Her job doesn’t come without judgement, and she has experienced severe discrimination by conservatives.

Candice says that she’s encountered people who fill up their skin by saying too much as well as backyard tattoo artists who do sub-par work. In both cases, those are the tattoos Candice and Jordan are called upon to fix them.

HE simplest answer to the question, “Does my skin need a different routine during the day to the one at night?” is “Yes.” Just because skin has different needs when you’re awake from when you’re sleeping.

During the day, skin is under a high level of stress, as it’s exposed to make-up, excessive oil production, dirt, bacteria, UV exposure, pollutants, and many

more external factors. Because of this, harmful free radicals are damaging skin cells, collagen and the cells’ DNA. Thus, during the day, skincare should be aimed at defence to prevent damage to your skin. At night skin starts to repair itself. By performing a night-time specific routine, you can really aid in repairing skin and control how quickly your skin ages. Here are our recommendations for your routines.

1.

THE most important thing that you need in your daily routine is SPF. We can’t stress this enough. Even if you see that the sun isn’t coming out today, don’t skip the screen!

Prevage Anti-Aging Moisturiser SPF30: R1 215, Elizabeth Arden

2.

SLAP a lightweight moisturiser or serum on after sunscreen. Ingredients to look out for include: hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and/or antioxidants.

Aqualia Water Light Cream: R315, Vichy

1.

IF you want to simplify your nightly routine, get a product that does all the cleansing: eyes, lips, face, all in one swipe. A micellar water is perfect for this.

¡

Micellar Cleanser: R330, LPG

¡

YOU probably don’t think of the effect of foundation on your skin apart from it matching your tone. But pay attention to the kind of foundation you use. For example, if your face is naturally oily, use a powder foundation rather than liquid. Powder foundations contain less oil and will leave your skin with a beautiful matte finish. On the other hand, if your skin is dry, select a liquid or cream foundation that is moisturising and hydrating.

3.

A NIGHT-TIME routine should end off with a suitable moisturiser.

Skin needs to stay hydrated as you recharge overnight.

Choose a heavier moisturiser to replenish all the moisture lost during the day and lock in as much moisture as possible, so you can wake up to a more defined and moreradiant complexion.

Absolute Night Cream: R1 700, Filorga

2.

THE next step after cleansing is eye care. A lighter serum works for faster absorption in the day; however, at night, let your eyes enjoy creamy and luxuriously thicker textures.

THIS week’s top matters of the mind.

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

PICS: FOTOLIA

DEAR DOC, DO women’s periods really start synchronising? My sister swears she gets her period at the same time as I do. I’m skeptical. It’s a bit too weird.

NSYNC Skeptic

Did You Know?

The Effects Of A Good Night’s Sleep

W

E share just some of the benefits of getting a good night’s sleep.  Keeping Your Gorgeous Figure: Lack of sleep leads to weight gain, so sleep tight and stay slim and trim!  Concentrate Better: No sleep will leave you struggling to concentrate at work or school, say experts.  You’ll Be Happy: Yes a good night’s rest positively affects your mood.  You’ll Look More Attractive: A full night’s sleep will leave you looking healthier and more attractive, say researchers.  You’ll Make Better Decisions: Your mind will be clear and focused.  You’ll Live Longer: Sleeping less has been associated with a shorter lifespan.  You’ll Be A Better Athlete: Extra sleep can improve athletic performance.  You’ll Be Less Likely To Get Ill: Too little sleep can suppress your immune system.  You’ll Have Better Sex: Researchers say sexual relationships can be affected by lack of sleep.

Beat Work Overload

TRY out these great tips in order to cope with your overload at work, courtesy of Planetofsuccess.com:  Set Priorities: You’re not Superman – or woman – so make a list, prioritise and get going with what’s most import. This will help you cope, focus and in turn de-stress.  Control Your Emotions: Getting emotional or angry isn’t going to make the workload go away.

It’s never nice to be under pressure, but try to stay in control of your emotions – best decisions are made when you’re calm.  Delegate: Yes, while we know most of us hate doing this, sometimes it is the only (and perhaps the best) way to get on top of things and sort your workload out. If you’re worried about how your colleague will do the job, pass on small tasks and deal with the bigger load yourself.  Organise And Plan: Sounds very obsessive compulsive, but fact is it works. Plan ahead, and organise each day and each week in a way that suits your work needs and abilities. Split main goals into smaller goals if need be.

DEAR NSYNC SKEPTIC, IT’S thought to be technically possible but scientists aren’t as certain as they were a few decades ago. It’s called ‘menstrual synchrony’ and is thought to be through pheromones (airborne chemicals we all produce to send off hormonal signals to other humans).

Current scientific thought is that it’s likely just coincidence.

Women’s periods are too variable to truly synchronise. They may randomly have overlaps in their menstrual cycles but it’s not chemically likely to occur. Sorry for the reality check! But maybe, as you say, it is all a bit too weird.

DEAR DOC, AT night time my legs are basically always bouncing or twitching, and sometimes it feels more like spasms. My doctor said I have restless leg syndrome. What does this mean and what can I do about it?

Jitterbug DEAR JITTERBUG, JUST like you’ve described, people with restless leg syndrome (RLS) have an urge to move their legs that usually occurs with an uncomfortable feeling in their legs as well. These urges and unpleasant feelings are worse in the evening and when you are lying or sitting down. The uncomfortable sensations in the legs get better when you move them. The cause of RLS in most cases is not known.

However, RLS can be due to several medical conditions, including anaemia, kidney disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and varicose veins. Additionally, researchers are currently investigating whether RLS is caused by a problem with dopamine, one of the chemicals in the brain. There are many different treatments available for RLS. Caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol can make the symptoms worse, so they are best avoided. Sometimes doctors prescribe iron pills for this condition. If you’re struggling so that it’s interrupting your sleep then I would suggest consulting a neurologist for medications to help with controlling the symptoms.

DEAR DOC, I’M trying to lose weight, and I’ve heard amazing things about sauna therapy. Is it true that you can ‘sweat off’ weight just by sitting in a sauna? Are there risks? It sounds too good to be true.

Sweat It Off? DEAR SWEAT IT OFF? MANY people enjoy the feeling saunas give them especially after a workout. There are risks to them especially if you spend too much time, or if you don’t hydrate properly before and afterwards.

Elderly people, pregnant women, and children should not spend any time in a sauna. Others – like those with epilepsy or migraines – may risk triggering an attack if they overheat too quickly. Spending too much time in a sauna for anyone can lead to heat stroke and fainting. You can lose water weight in the sauna but this is not actually losing body weight. Water weight will be regained as soon as you take your next drink of water. Plus, it is dangerous to lose too much. The only way to lose fat weight is to burn more calories than you eat. This means that you need to increase the amount of lower calorie foods in your diet (e.g. fruits and vegetables) and increasing the amount of exercise you do daily.

No-Equipment Lower Body Workout Like BY LISA RALEIGH

An Angel T

HE beautiful Alessandra Ambrosio favours equipment-free workouts for convenience’s sake, helping her to keep fit while travelling.

 THE brunette beauty opts for 20-minute high intensity workouts to stay in shape. Shorter, more intense workouts mean more calories burnt in a shorter period of time.  ALESSANDRA opts for Pilates-style workouts, typically exercising on the mat with full body resistance static and dynamic moves.  THE model loves jumping rope, and always keeps one on hand while she travels. This is an easy, high intensity and portable exercise that can be done anywhere.

HERE are three equipment-free moves Alessandra includes in her 20-minute workouts to create long, lean legs.

UPGRADE this move from your mat into a standing position for a tougher exercise. Standing on one leg with elbows braced in front of you, draw one knee up towards your torso then kick it out behind you in a straight line. Your leg should be parallel to the ground. Aim for three sets of 10 to 15 reps with each leg.

STAND with feet wide apart and arms braced in front of your chin. Sink into a squat, pause for a moment, then rise up and kick one leg out to the side as high as you can. Lower back down to your starting position. Aim for three sets of 10 to 15 reps with each leg.

STAND with feet wide apart and toes turned out. Sink into a plié squat and hold.

Keeping your balance, lift one foot up onto the toe, followed by the other. Aim for three sets of 10 to 15 reps.

Exercising With Flu

AS the colder days start to arrive, many will be left feeling a little under the weather. We share some tips on how to exercise when sick. According to Drwills.com:  If you experience symptoms above the neck, like a runny nose or head cold, then exercising is okay.  If you are running a fever, it’s better to give the workout or run a skip.  Stay out of the gym.

We share some tips for the young ladies out there who are too lazy to train. There aren’t any excuses now!  You don’t have to break a sweat. Try out a Pilates class and trust us, it won’t even mess up your blow-dry!  Do something you love and which will challenge you like a yoga class. You’ll be more toned, and much happier. You’ll be working body and mind.  Make exercise part of your social life, and you won’t even notice you’re working out – join a netball team with your friends, or maybe even a belly dancing class. Just get moving and have fun.  Commutercise: Run or cycle home from work (if you live in a safe area, of course).

The workout is free and the fresh air is great for you.  Make a regular appointment with the gym – commit to a certain class every week and put it in your work calendar, or get a gym buddy and make it an official date. This way you won’t just bunk.  Reward yourself for meeting targets.

What Is Diabetes?

DIABETES is a chronic metabolic disease characterised by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

9 Interesting Facts About Diabetes

WE share some facts about the illness you might have never known, courtesy of Who.int:  Total deaths from diabetes are projected to rise by more than 50 percent in the next 10 years – they are projected to increase by over 80 percent in uppermiddle income countries.  Type 1 diabetes is characterised by a lack of insulin production and type 2 diabetes results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin.  Type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1 diabetes, and accounts for around 90 percent of all diabetes worldwide.  Reports of type 2 diabetes in children – previously rare – have increased worldwide. In some countries, it accounts for almost half of newly diagnosed cases in children and adolescents.  A third type of diabetes is gestational diabetes, which is characterised by hyperglycaemia, or raised blood sugar, which is first recognised during pregnancy.  In 2005, 1.1-million people died from diabetes.

Although people may live for years with diabetes, their cause of death is often recorded as heart disease or kidney failure.  Eight percent of diabetes deaths are now occurring in low- and middle-income countries.  Lack of awareness about diabetes, combined with insufficient access to health services, can lead to complications such as blindness and kidney failure.  Diabetes can be prevented with moderate-intensity physical activity on most days and a healthy diet.

Health Benefits Of Tomatoes

 One serving of red, ripe, raw tomatoes (one cup or 150g) is a good source of vitamins A, C, K, folate and potassium.  Tomatoes are naturally low in sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories.  They provide thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, magnesium, phosphorus and copper, all of which are necessary for good health.  One serving of tomatoes gives you 2g of fibre – seven percent of the daily recommended amount.  Tomatoes also have a relatively high water content, which makes them a filling food.  Tomatoes make your skin look great – betacarotene, also found in carrots and sweet potatoes, helps protect skin against sun damage, plus tomatoes’ lycopene also makes skin less sensitive to UV light damage, a leading cause of fine lines and wrinkles.  They help build strong bones thanks to the vitamin K and calcium they have.

Sugar Vs Sweeteners: A Fight For Our Health

BY WARREN ROBERTSON

NO ONE disagrees that in the modern age our desire for sweet things is killing us, but how do we stop it?

S

UGAR vs sweetener. It’s a secret corporate war that has been raging for over a decade, with each side paying researchers to deliver results that prove their side of the argument.

Initially it was diet sweeteners that were winning the fight – cut back on calories, they famously said, seeing many people around the world flooding to consume diet softdrinks. Then big sugar groups hit back declaring aspartame unsafe, and extolling the virtues of natural sugar in the human body. Westerners began to abandon diet drinks in droves. But the past few years have seen a swing back the other way.

“Sugar is as addictive as cocaine,” say highly

paid experts on the radio, and once again the numbers for diet drink sales are ticking upward.

So where does the truth lie in this ongoing feud for the hearts, minds and, most importantly, Rands of the public? The truth is it’s somewhere in the middle, and the answer is the same as it always is when it comes to eating healthily.

According to the newest dietary guidelines recently announced by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), only 10 teaspoons of sugar a day is allowed for the average person.

Unfortunately, that equals just one 500ml bottle of regular soft drink. In the UK, health services recommend half that. In South Africa, one in five people are eating vastly more than that.

Our disturbing sugar-eating patterns are part of a global trend. A report called Sugar: Consumption At A Crossroads, compiled by the Credit Suisse Research Institute, says that the global consumption of added sugar has ‘increased dramatically’ over the past few decades.

The average person now consumes 17 teaspoons (70g) of sugar and similar sweeteners a day. In the United States the average is 40 teaspoons a day.

acids, aspartame entered the growing artificial sweetener market in 1973. Unlike other artificial sweeteners, which are usually excreted unchanged, aspartame can be metabolised, so it does have minimal calories (about four per gram).

It also has some known health concerns. It should not be used by anyone with the genetic disorder phenylketonuria or certain rare liver disorders, or by pregnant women with high levels of phenylalanine in their blood, because it doesn’t metabolise properly in those individuals. The FDA requires any food made with aspartame to put that restriction on the label. Similar discovery stories of researchers engaging in unsafe laboratory practices led to the inclusion of saccharine, sucralose and acesulfame potassium in the world’s diets.

By 2005, millions of people were using artificial sweeteners for weight control.

So it was a shock when unaligned researchers at the University of Texas found that the conventional wisdom of diet drinks not making people fat was wrong.

When they analysed eight years of data from the San Antonio Heart Study, researchers found that the more diet sodas a person drank, the more likely he or she was to gain weight. To this day, no one knows why. Was it due to the artificial sweetener? Was it something else in the soda?

Does drinking a diet soda make it more likely a person might order a double size burger and fries? Scientists still don’t know whether there are consequences when the brain registers the sweet taste but then doesn’t get the hit of sugar it expects. The worry is that the sweetness might somehow trick the body into releasing too much insulin, something which could lead to weight gain in the long run. It’s not possible to say yet whether this is happening.

Studying the effects of specific artificial sweeteners is a challenge in today’s world, as many soda and food manufacturers create

mixtures of sweeteners to mimic sugar and make their products taste unique. So it’s hard to tease out which of the sweeteners might be a problem.

But studies continue to find concerns that bear watching. A 2008 study found drinking more than two servings of diet soft drinks a day doubled the risk for kidney decline in women. A 2012 study suggested a possible connection between diet soft drinks and an increased risk for vascular events. If you ingest a great amount of sweetener (more than 1 680mg a day), you could have a somewhat higher risk of bladder cancer.

Last year some curious new research from Israel was published, suggesting that the artificial sweeteners aspartame, saccharin and sucralose might contribute to type 2 diabetes. Healthy mice were given drinking water with one of these three sweeteners added to it. When scientists measured their blood glucose levels they found that the mice that had consumed sweeteners were showing glucose intolerance, something associated with type 2 diabetes, while the mice which drank plain water or water containing ordinary sugar didn’t. Results from mice can’t always be extrapolated to people and the usual diet of a mouse is of course very different from ours. But for the second part of their study the researchers used humans, feeding them the maximum daily allowance of saccharin. Within five days just over half the people showed some intolerance to glucose.

This study does not stand alone. Numerous studies reflect that artificial sweeteners are no safer than their sugary cousins.

A study published in The American Journal Of Nutrition in 2013 found that the risk for coronary heart disease was significantly elevated in women who consumed more than two artificiallysweetened beverages per day or more than two sugar-sweetened beverages per day. Similarly, another study shows the risk of coronary heart disease was significantly elevated by both types of drinks for men and women. Results from yet another study indicated that daily consumption of artificiallysweetened beverages showed significantly increased risk of vascular events, equal in magnitude to daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages.

Taken together, findings from all of the studies suggest that consuming artificial sweeteners is just as bad for you as sugar, and artificial sweeteners may even exacerbate the negative effects of sugar. Meanwhile, both the availability and the consumption of artificial sweeteners have been steadily increasing in the West, with some studies suggesting as many as one third of adults and 15 percent of children are now eating sweeteners on a daily basis.

In the end the answers to our increasing health problems don’t seem to lie with either sugar or artificial sweeteners, but rather with the dramatic cutting down of both to pre-World War II levels.

Both sugar and sweeteners in moderate amounts seem safe, but that’s the trick – moderate amounts. There are no shortcuts or alternatives in this war. Until we can dramatically cut back our usage of both sugar and sweeteners, the studies seem to concur, we are going to see a continual growth in various obesity related diseases.

‘THE global consumption of sugar has increased dramatically over the decades.’

percent. In countries such as the US, Credit Suisse estimates, 38 percent of the average person’s diet is made up of sugar in its various forms. That means more than a third of everything they eat is essentially glucose, fructose or something in between. Even without a medical degree those numbers sound ominous, and those feelings are right. Abundant added sugar is now linked to a host of health issues: obesity, chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, even cancer.

So how do we control excessive use of sugar? Many would suggest the answer lies in artificial sweeteners. Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by chemist James M. Schlatter, who was looking for an anti-ulcer drug when he stumbled upon the sweet taste by licking his finger. A mix of aspartic acid and phenylalanine, two naturally occurring amino

A Brutalised Society THE calls to bring back the death penalty in South Africa are growing louder, despite numerous studies that show it does not work.

O

N November 21, 1974, two bombs exploded in crowded pubs in central Birmingham in the United Kingdom, killing 21 people and sending the city and the country into shock. The bombings were attributed to the Provisional IRA, and a year later six Irish men were sentenced to terms of life imprisonment for their roles in planting and detonating the devices.

The Birmingham Six, as these men came to be known, steadfastly maintained their innocence, and a dedicated team of investigative journalists and lawyers slowly but surely convinced the British public that these men were telling the truth. In dramatic scenes outside the Old Bailey in London on March 14, 1991, Hugh Callaghan, Patrick Hill, Gerard Hunter, Richard McIlkenny, William Power and John Walker had their convictions for murder quashed by the Court of Appeal. They had each spent 16 years in prison for

crimes that they had not committed, and their case is one of the most notorious miscarriages of justice in British history. There can be little doubt that if capital punishment was legal at the time of their trials, these men would have been sentenced to death. Even Lord Denning – one of the most prominent judges of the 20th century – suggested that the Birmingham Six should have been hanged. And the Birmingham six were lucky.

In 1952, Mahmood Mattan, a Somali settled in Wales was hanged for the robbery and killing of a Cardiff shopkeeper. The conviction hinged on an altered witness statement, and he was cleared of murder by an Appeal Court in 1998, decades after his wrongful death. In 1997, David Spence was executed by a Texas court despite the fact that all the witnesses withdrew their testimonies, and the physical evidence that was used to convict him was later shown to be entirely fabricated. In 2004, Cameron Todd Willingham was

accused of burning down his house, killing his three young daughters to cover his abuse of them. The problem was he had never been accused of abusing his daughters before, and his wife said he in fact, ‘spoiled them rotten’. The court used pictures of his heavy metal band posters as evidence of his ‘love of violence’. Witness testimony was deemed to be inconclusive and contradictory. Despite this, he was executed by lethal injection on February 17, 2004. The Texas Forensic Science Commission later found that the evidence was misinterpreted, and they concluded that none of the evidence used against Willingham was valid, and that the fire was accidental.

Here in South Africa, on June 6, 1995, an historic resolution was taken by the Constitutional Court to abolish the death penalty. The court ruled that capital punishment, as provided for under the Criminal Procedure Act, was in conflict with the country’s 1994 Constitution. The Court ordered, with immediate

Since 1976, 1 348 people have been executed in the US, but in that time 136 people have been exonerated from death row on the grounds that they categorically could not have committed the crime of which they were convicted.

Death penalty expert at the University of Birmingham, Dr Barat Malkani suggests that far from being proof that America’s appeal system works, these exonerations prove that it is highly likely innocent people have been sent to their deaths for crimes they did not commit.

“For every 10 people President Zuma promised on death row who are to start a debate on holding executed, at least one person a referendum on the on death row is innocent,” he death penalty explains.

The reasons for why someone might be sentenced to death wrongly are numerous, and all of them would be made worse in South Africa, a country where the police, prosecutors and all other facets of the justice system are heavily overworked.

Some people falsely confess to crimes crime under pressure from the police.

In other cases, the prosecution might fail to reveal evidence that exculpates the defendant.

organisation Amnesty International agreed that the death penalty goes against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is open to abuse in skewed or failing justice systems, and will undoubtedly target the poor.

“You are more likely to be sentenced to death if you are poor or belong to a racial, ethnic, or religious minority because of discrimination in the justice system,” the group said.

According to Amnesty International, countries that execute people commonly cite the death penalty as a way to deter people from committing crime. However, this claim has been repeatedly discredited, and there is no evidence that the death penalty is any more effective in reducing crime than imprisonment. “The death penalty is a symptom of a culture of violence, not a solution to it,” it said.

In America, studies show that the 14 states without the death penalty have murder rates that are either at or below the national countrywide average. In the two-decade period between 1991 and 2010, states with the death penalty had 32.45 percent more murders than those that didn’t have the death penalty. Amnesty International suggests that there are a few reasons for this. The organisation believes that a state’s involvement in violent killing may subtly alter the dynamic of violence in that state, brutalising all that are involved and encouraging the citizens to feel that violence is normal, and more acceptable.

More significantly, however, is the finding that the death penalty is extremely expensive to uphold. The longer trials, as well as more secure living conditions, and, ultimately, many years later after all appeals have been exhausted, the execution itself is more expensive than any other potential punishment, and therefore diverts resources from more successful crime prevention measures.

In addition, numerous reports have shown that the death penalty does not provide any form of closure or healing for families of the victims.

“Family members who have lost loved ones to murder feel that the death penalty will not heal their wounds nor will it end their pain, and the extended legal process prior to executions can prolong the agony experienced by the victims’ families,” explains Amnesty International.

Despite all of this, calls are growing in South Africa for a return of the death penalty. A society drained and morally outraged at continuing violence and lack of visible solutions has seemingly started viewing the death penalty as an answer to the country’s out-ofcontrol crime rate, and some politicians are playing into it to gain popularity. President Jacob Zuma has repeatedly promised that ‘radical laws’ would need to be introduced to deal with crime, and back in 2008 said that were he to become the country’s next president, he would try to persuade the ANC to start a debate on holding a referendum to sound out public opinion on bringing back executions. This referendum never happened, which seems to show that the weight of evidence has changed Zuma’s mind, but that’s not to say the call for the death penalty will go away any time soon. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court is holding strong, repeatedly denying the possibility of a return to the death penalty. As Chief Justice Arthur Chaskalson remarked in S v Makwanyane, “Capital punishment is not the only way that society has of expressing its moral outrage at the crime that has been committed. We have long outgrown the literal application of the Biblical injunction of ‘an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’… The State does not need to engage in the cold and calculated killing of murderers in order to express moral outrage at their conduct. A very long prison sentence is also a way of expressing outrage and visiting retribution upon the criminal.”

A Race Against Time W

A CHARITY rescues orangutans left orphaned by the palm oil industry.

ITH a stern expression a huge male orangutan stares out from behind bars in the cage where he lives. Tragically the metal enclosure being used to house him is necessary because it causes him the least distress.

As a rescued illegal pet, being behind bars is all he knows and the staff at the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme caring for him are trying to make him feel comfortable.

Another young orangutan has a brighter future. Also behind bars, this one has a chance of survival in the wild because animal workers will attempt to release him.

The next steps for SOCP are to save the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra – an area of forest located in the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra. Their aim is to ensure that the orangutans have some hope as the conservation also continues to provide a sanctuary for those displaced.

Once home to scores of orangutans, this series of photographs show why the island that was once called the ‘Emerald of the Equator’ isn’t anymore – with images exposing the illegal deforestation and scarred wasteland.

Professional wildlife photographer, Jami Tarris travelled to Sumatra to spend time with the

orangutans orphaned and saved from being sold illegally as pets as a result of the soaring demand for palm oil.

“With the help of the SOCP, I was able to use a drone to photograph aerials of the palm plantations and the forest damage adjacent to national parks and primary forests.

The palm oil industry is a very controversial and dangerous topic in Indonesia and during my trip to Sumatra I was urged not to let others know that I was a photographer.”

With the help of the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme and Dr Ian Singleton, the director of SOCP, during Jami’s visit to Sumatra in November to December of 2015 she was able to spend time and photograph three orphaned baby orangutans.

Jami said, “Two days before I arrived in Sumatra, three infant orangutans were in the back seat of a car being driven down to Southern Sumatra by two men who were going to illegally sell them as pets. We are losing these beautiful animals and it won’t take long for this to happen at the current rate. It is a tragedy and this story needs to reach all households so that we stop the demand for a product that is rapidly destroying the home of the orangutan and many other animals.”

Dr Ian Singleton says, “The palm oil plantations

Over the past 20 years, an astonishing 490km2 have been cleared to make way for palm oil.”

a price as Dr Singleton and the IUCN website states that there has been an 85 percent loss of orangutans in Sumatra since 1900.

Dr Ian Singleton said, “Clearing by fire is an illegal process as forests should be cleared manually. People have been confiscating illegal pet orangutans since the early 1970s, and if you count the number that have gone into rescue centres since then it’s at least 3 000. I only know of a handful of prosecutions and all of those have been in the last five years – so this is very much still the tip of the iceberg, and I hope there will be a big change in law enforcement against wildlife crime. When the forests are being destroyed, there are often orangutans in the trees being cut. When they kill a mother in a tree, the baby is often taken by the poachers and sold into the illegal pet trade for income.

We have a moral obligation to save as many species as we can; orangutans have just as much right to be here as we do.”

Thousands of orangutans have been confiscated as illegal pets and placed into rescue centres

DAME, DUDE OR

DRAGON?

THIS transgender former banker claims to be the first and only person to have both ears cosmetically removed as part of a quest to become a DRAGON. 52 PEOPLE

www.peoplemagazine.co.za

B

ORN Richard Hernandez in Mobiltown, Maricopa County, Arizona, this 55-year-old would-be dragon now known as ‘Tiamat’ has taken on several personas and undergone multiple stages of transformation or ‘metamorphosis’ to arrive at her final reptilian destination.

From being a gay teenager in Bruni, Texas, USA to realising he was actually a woman trapped in a man’s body, this body modification aficionado came to understand it was destined to be more than simply human.

Preferring to be known as an ‘it’ rather than ‘her’ or ‘she’ Tiamat has bravely made the decision to have no gender by removing its penis through a procedure called a penectomy, as well as castration, which involves removal of the testes.

It will not be having any replacement female sexual organ created.

In the last decade, Tiamat, who now lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico fell so deep into the world of body modification (mods), it also had both ears removed in a procedure called a ‘double Van Gogh’ – a reference to the legendary Dutch artist who infamously chopped off one of his own ears. Tiamat drew further inspiration from Harry Potter’s Voldemort character, played by Ralph Fiennes, when deciding to have its nose re-shaped to compliment its increasingly reptilian features.

This ‘human-dragon’ also had horns implanted on its forehead and tattoos and scarification on its face to resemble snake scales. The whites of its eyes are stained green, giving it the Medusa ‘Green Eyes of Death’ as it jovially refers to them. It has been reborn as a ‘dragon’ with the full name Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa, known as the Dragon Lady.

“My permanent full name is Eva Tiamat Baphomet Medusa, and I prefer to be referred to as an ‘it’, instead of ‘she’ and ‘her’,” says Tiamat. “However, I won’t turn anyone into stone if people happen to inadvertently slip. I am morphing into what I call my true form as a once-mythical dragon. I feel it is my duty to help educate and enlighten others in any way possible as my journey continues, through the sharing of my story, so people can witness the birth of the world’s first human dragon in real time. I hope to enable people to have an appreciation for the art of body modification.”

Tiamat’s transformation includes tattoos, body piercings, 3D implantations, scarification, eyeball, gum, and tongue staining, electrolysis, facial and cranial reshaping, nose reconstruction, teeth and ear removal, and head implants. Over the years Tiamat has had an estimated R500 000 worth of surgery and believes that in order to complete the transformation the figure could reach up to R2-million.

“What I like about body mods is everything from the aesthetic appeal, the sexual pleasure, the shock value and most important of all, personal gratification and spiritual significance,” says Tiamat. “And of course the pure pleasure of randomly scaring people when I’m out and about or during Halloween is a huge plus for me,” it jests. “My mods are necessary and I need them to be able to feel whole.”

The first 50 years of Tiamat’s life were spent as an openly gay man, until the realisation that it was actually a woman born into the wrong physical form. Although Tiamat is having hormone therapy for male- to-female transition, it has not undergone gender reassignment surgery. Tiamat’s decision to evolve into a dragon developed only after the transition to womanhood.

“My decision to transform into a human dragon and my decision to transition from a man into a woman did not coincide with each other,” says Tiamat. “I was very nervous, but I knew what I needed to do and I told my family and my friends that I was going to transition into a woman.” Having gone through transitioning into a woman and developing breasts with the help of female hormones, Tiamat had further looked inwardly and come to the understanding that it was no longer happy to be a female, preferring instead to be without any gender.

“I am without a doubt a 100 percent full and complete asexual creature,” says Tiamat. “I began my metamorphosis into the reptilian creature with the first outwardly visible physical manifestations of the serpent dragon when I got

facebook.com/peoplemagsa

Tiamat with a woman attending New York Tattoo Convention in 2013 my subdermal brow implants. The second outwardly visible reptilian feature came to life when I had snake scales added to my face. I am 95 percent covered in snake scale outline.”

Tiamat went through a very uncomfortable childhood, which it bravely attributes to making it the creature it is today. Through the sadness of this story Tiamat has somehow managed to find positivity and move forward into becoming the creature it wishes to be.

“My early life was filled with darkness and hard times, so much so that all I wanted to do was die,” says Tiamat.

“I was estranged from my father when I was three, then abandoned by my mother and stepfather when I was five.

Being just a child I could not see the real meaning behind all that was happening at the time and how events I once dreaded would have such a profoundly positive effect on my life as an adult.”

The start of Tiamat’s foray into the world of body modification was when it was a teenager at Bruni High School in Texas, trying to fit in with the other classmates.

“When I was 17 years old in high school, someone brought in a bottle of ink and I ‘hand-poked’ my first tattoo with a threaded needle. This was of course a very bad thing to do but I didn’t know this at the time.

It was a time in my life where the only thing I took into consideration was my immediate gratification, because I felt I would feel like one of the boys. Today I am no longer unhappy with myself,

but my ultimate happiness will come when I get my penectomy and castration procedure and I am able to live my life as a truly genderless creature.”

Another aspect of Tiamat’s life is that of fatherhood. As a 36-year-old Richard Hernandez became father to a baby boy named Marcos Cristobal following a brief relationship with the mother.

Tiamat and its ex-girlfriend had shared custody of their son and raised him together with Tiamat’s now late partner Mark, who Marcos referred to as ‘Tio’ which means ‘uncle’ in Spanish.

Tiamat described Marcos as being a great source of happiness. Sadly, at the age of 16, Marcos, lovingly called ‘My Sunny’ by his proud father, made the decision to cut all contact with Tiamat.

“My Sunny was in my life for 16 years, and because of my arrogance, we are now estranged,” says Tiamat. “I have not seen my son in three years and it hurts me and I know that he too is hurting. We now have a void in our lives that will never be filled. He’s my greatest love and joy in my life. He brought something to my life no one else in the world ever has or ever could. He is the light of my life. My son is such a good soul.”

Once vice president, client manager at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank’s Corporate Banking Division, in Houston Texas, Tiamat is now a semi-retired artist and founder of the global organisation MOD World, where it spends its time raising awareness around body modification and transgender issues.

Tiamat is also spearheading an awareness project to prepare for the making of Modify II – The Movie. This is the sequel to the original 2005 film centred on the

Tiamat (as Richard Hernandez) with son Marcos body modification sub-culture.

“Some say that their body is their temple so they will not desecrate it, but I say that my body is my temple therefore I decorate it,” says Tiamat. “Body modification has opened the door for the realisation of my own self-expression and as my own creator I have solved the mystery of whether or not one can attain perfection in this imperfect world. The answer is ‘yes’.”

‘MY early life was filled with darkness and hard times.’

Xiao Lou found it hard to get a job and also contemplated suicide before he discovered his talent. The 28-year-old chooses to cross-stitch themes related to landscape or wildlife, and he is able to produce works more beautiful than others could do by hand. His goal is to sell enough cross-stitches to buy his mother a washing machine, so she will not have to do the laundry by hand.

ARSHA SENA has a condition known as polymelia – a birth defect which means the affected individual has more than the usual number of limbs.

Doctors at the Govind Ballabh Pant Hospital were able to successfully amputate the unwanted third leg in the last week of January.

The lead surgeon, Doctor Daljit Singh, said, “The baby was suffering from polymelia.

It is a condition in which a person is born with

more than four limbs. We have not seen such a case in the last 50 years.”

Two-year-old Varsha was born at Bara Hindu Rao hospital in 2014.

Mom Komal Sena, 24, said, “I was scared when I saw my daughter for the first time.”

The family calls Varsha by the name of ‘Ganesh’ – a Hindu God – due to her extra leg.

Doctors at the Govind Ballabh Pant hospital said, “This was the first case of polymelia in which the spinal cord had developed into an additional limb.”

OME people are clever with their cash – others not so much!

There are many riches-to-rags stories out there, and celebs aren’t immune to making bad money decisions either. Mike Tyson, for example, earned a staggering R6.2-billion over the course of his 20-year boxing career but by 2003, he was in R360-million debt. Then there’s actor Chris Tucker who faced repossession on his R89-million home in Florida with more than R65-million owed to the bank. While we all know that one of easiest ways to grow your money is to save more, did you know that getting the best interest rate possible will also expand your bank balance? Many people open an account and tend to forget about it for years, not realising that they may be depriving themselves of income.

“Having the right kind of savings account for the right kind of objectives is critical. If you save cash in your cheque account, for example, you could be giving up on four or five percent interest and this will make a huge difference to your returns over the long-term,” says Nitesh Patel, head of Customer Financial Solutions at Standard Bank. Patel recommends readers follow certain methods of saving and investing their income.

“Not many realise that a flexible savings account does not mean low interest rates. If you need access to your savings, you can have the best of both worlds; a good interest rate and the ability to transfer cash from one account to another without penalties or limitations. Speak to a consultant at your branch, your personal banker or your financial advisor to find the best account to suit your needs,” says Patel. “Take advantage of your company savings plan. This is a pooled investment account provided by an employer that allows employees to set aside a portion of their gross salary for retirement savings or other longterm goals, such as paying for tuition or purchasing and extending a home.

Look at your employment contract to see if your company has a savings plan, as some companies will match what you save. For example, if you save seven and a half percent they will equal it. It’s a good idea to take advantage of this.

Also, look at a stock portfolio. While bank savings accounts are a great place to save for short and medium-term goals, investing in equity-based products is another option, which may potentially give you higher returns, but does have an element of risk associated to it. If you don’t want to become a stock mogul, consider investing in unit trusts or SATRIX. By doing this, you get the benefit of earning good returns while experienced managers make the stock decisions.

We strongly recommend talking to an accredited financial advisor who can assist and guide you on an appropriate investment approach tailored to your needs.”

Patel recommends fixing your savings for good returns. “You can earn higher rates of return on your savings if you are prepared to keep your money in a fixed deposit account. However, you must be sure that you won’t need this money for the duration of the term to which you commit. Some types of fixed deposits don’t allow early withdrawals and may charge penalties. Once you have chosen the best solutions for you savings needs and goals, create and maintain habits that will make sure you continue to save and your money continues to grow. It’s also wise to invest your additional income. When you receive extra income, such as a bonus or 13th cheque, you should save some, if not all of it. For example, invest any additional money into a retirement fund for you, or an education fund for your children. Another good idea is to pay off or reduce any short-term debt such as loans. Always consider the impact of inflation. When you have money invested in accounts that are impacted by inflation, you need to keep an eye on how it is affected. The easiest way to ensure that money keeps up with inflation is to increase your savings by at least the rate of inflation each year. Also aim to increase you retirement savings as your salary rises. If you are consistent, you should be able to retire in comfort. Last, but not least, be consistent with your savings. Perhaps the most important strategy you should adopt is one of discipline. You can earn more if you can commit to paying into a savings account regularly. If you implement all of the above tactics, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how much you have accumulated over time. The longer you leave your money invested, the larger it will grow.”

TWO schoolboys headed off on an incredible cycling adventure to help save an endangered species – now they need your help!

HEY’RE just 17 years old, but Matt Perrott and Cal Tait have crunched the numbers.

They know all too well that rhino poaching is currently at a crisis point, with the species teetering on the brink of extinction – and they want to help turn that around.

These two remarkable teens from Diocesan College in Rondebosch, Cape Town, put their passion for nature conservation into action by cycling along the South African coastline – a whopping 600km from Cape Town to Knysna in five days – to raise funds for the Rhinos Without Borders translocation project. Having just completed the journey (which amounts to an Argus a day for five days in a row), Matt and Cal (with Chris Hyslop’s support) managed to raise almost R150 000, every cent of which will go towards Rhinos Without Borders. Now they’re asking the public to dig deep into their pockets to join the crusade to save our rhino, and help them reach their target amount of R200 000.

South Africa has by far the largest population of rhinos in the world and is an incredibly important country for rhino conservation. However, rhino poaching levels have dramatically escalated over recent years.

According to statistics compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission’s African Rhino Specialist Group (AfRSG), since 2008 poachers have killed at least 5 940 African rhinos. By the end of 2015, the number of African rhinos killed by poachers had increased for the sixth year in a row with at least 1 338 rhinos killed by poachers across Africa in 2015. The current poaching crisis is attributed to the growing demand for rhino horn in Asian countries, mainly Vietnam and China. Vietnam has been identified as the largest user country of rhino horn. Although rhino horn has no scientific medical benefits, consumers are using it to treat a wide range of conditions, from cancer to hangovers, and due to its high value, it is now also used as a status symbol by wealthy individuals.

HAT morning in February 1983, police from Burlington, Kansas, went to Ted Brown’s trailer to tell him his Cadillac had been stolen and set alight. They got more than they bargained for. Brown, 51, was found beaten and stabbed to death and his 18-year-old son strangled.

In less than a week, two young men were in custody. Bruce Duffield, 18, and Randy Wilson, 20, had been partying with Ted Brown on the night of the murder, and robbery was believed to have been the motive as a TV and some guns had been found in the torched car.

The pair faced the death penalty by lethal injection. But Duffield was eventually sentenced to 12 years after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Wilson received six years with possible parole in three. Had justice somehow gone awry? The truth, as revealed by reporter Bill McBean a few months after the 1984 sentencing, was more bizarre than anyone could have imagined.

Although Ted Brown had avoided arrest, he was believed to have been a fence for stolen car parts. Worse, it was ‘common knowledge’ in Burlington that he traded alcohol and drugs for sex with under-age kids.

Those who could have done something about it had kept quiet.

Believing Duffield to have been one of Brown’s victims, local DA Doyle Johns had offered the youngsters a plea deal in order to spare Brown’s other victims the shame of having to testify in open court.

There was no doubt about it – Ted Brown was a sexual predator. But the parts of the men’s confessions that were eventually made public raised some worrying issues. On the night of the murder, Duffield and Wilson had gone to Brown’s trailer willingly – for the booze and drugs the older man always had on hand. After a long session, they fell asleep.

Thereafter their accounts differed.

Wilson said he was woken up by Duffield trying to kiss him on the mouth. He resisted and his shouting woke up Brown, who came out of his bedroom and calmed both boys down, saying, “We’ll talk this all out in the morning.”

Next, Wilson was awoken by a loud thump. He went to investigate and found Duffield binding Brown’s hands and feet with an electrical cord.

Duffield then went into the room of Brown’s son and strangled him with two pairs of socks. After loading some of Brown’s guns into the older man’s car Duffield and Wilson fled the scene. They were later arrested because they had been spotted setting fire to the vehicle.

However, there was a problem with Wilson’s chronology, one, it seems, no one has ever explained: the autopsy showed Brown’s son had been dead for hours before his father was killed.

As for Duffield, he stuck to his story of a robbery having gone wrong.

But why had Brown been so badly scratched? That suggested something ‘personal’ about the killing. Also, it could be that Duffield preferred to go to prison with the reputation of a ‘killer’, rather than a ‘queer’.

And what of Brown’s son, Ted Jr? Was he involved in his father’s sick lifestyle? Who knows what he saw, living in that small trailer with Brown; who knows what he came to regard as ‘normal’? However, the relatively ‘gentle’ way he was killed suggests Duffield and Wilson were merely silencing a witness.

It’s hard to know what really happened that night, but few would ever mourn Ted Brown. Some would even speak of ‘poetic justice’ – in that Brown’s deviant lifestyle finally brought him into contact with some deviants even nastier than he was.

Because it could well be that Duffield and Wilson went there simply to steal the 40 firearms Brown had stashed in his trailer. According to Wilson, they had often talked about how much they could get by pawning guns. And what could Brown do? If he threatened to go to the police, they could blackmail him about his liking for under-age kids. But then one of them decided it was better not to leave any witnesses and both Browns were killed. Afterwards they panicked and decided to get rid of the evidence.

Duffield and Wilson won’t be telling, though. Wilson died in prison.

Duffield served his time, then was killed in a car accident.

PIC: WWW.GREATSTOCK

A R I ES

ICTORIA CAROLINE BECKHAM is an English singer and fashion designer.

Once known as Posh Spice, she was a member of the very successful Spice Girls musical group. She is married to footballer David Beckham (Taurus) and they have three boys and a daughter. Victoria is a Sun Aries with Leo Rising and Moon in Aquarius, which makes her self-assertive, fond of the limelight, and favours her with some unique qualities. Venus and Jupiter in Pisces shows that she is genuinely creative albeit somewhat insecure, for which she compensates by coming across as a strict controller of her life, husband and family; Mars and Saturn in Gemini renders her versatile and able to succeed in a variety of enterprises – although her fashion business is rumoured to be financially in the doldrums at present. Never mind, David’s millions will come to her rescue.

KILLER KAKURU

GO FIGURE THE idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram – by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the right numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares, and use each of the nine numbers only once.

FILL the grid so that each block adds up to the total in the box above or to the left of it. You can only use the digits 1-9 and you must not use the same digit twice in a block. (The same digit may occur more than once in a row or column, but it must be in a separate block.)

The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps – one led by Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr) surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

Insidious: Chapter 3 REPORTEDLY, in 2015 a trailer for the film came out that featured the song Afraid Of Nothing by Sharon Van Etten.

This, however, was done without her consent. A fan notified her over Twitter, and the film company was forced to pay.

FUN FACT

DWAYNE played his own father, wrestler Rocky Johnson, in an episode of That ’70s Show.

FUN FACT

WILL was a multi-millionaire before the age of 20!

PIC!

THINK BIKE

WE have officially realised the perfect idea of Heaven, and, as strange as it may sound, it’s being caught between a Rock and a hard place – the hard place being the approximately 77kg of solid muscle that is Zac Efron, in case you were wondering. Not that it looks like there’s much space on that bike left for us, but we can dream, can’t we! Zac and Dwayne were spotted on the set of their latest project Baywatch (a film redo of the 1989 Hasselhoff series phenomenon of the same name, obvs), in which they’ll be playing life-savers, which kind of defeats the purpose, if you ask us – if not by drowning, their rescue victims will surely peg it from heart failure.

Baywatch will be slowmo running into cinemas next

FUN FACT

GETTING FRESH WITH THE FANS

MANY stars (not all, of course, but many) find mingling with us common folk just a little beneath them (*cough* Bill Murray *cough cough*) But Will Smith is definitely not like that! He may be a fresh prince, but that, it seems, doesn’t keep him from interacting with his adoring public. While filming his upcoming project, Collateral Beauty, alongside British actress Noamie Harris, Will took a moment from his busy schedule to take pictures with his fans. The 47-yearold is seen all smiles as fans took countless selfies with him YOU know what they say, ‘girls just want to have fun’ – well, – and not one of their phones was thrown out of a window considering Kelly Rohrbach will be starring alongside demigods (*cough* Bill Murray *cough cough*)! Nicely done, Mr Smith.

Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron, she’ll be having a ball or two...

What a lucky girl! The gorgeous 26-year-old beach blonde bombshell Take a bow. Collateral Beauty is set to hit the big screen at the end of the year. was also spotted on the set of the reboot – presumably taking Pam Anderson’s role, which she’s perfect for. She’s got the blonde hair, the booty, and the, er – floatation devices!

BABEWATCH

KELLY earned an athletics scholarship to Georgetown University.

Tori Spelling: Happier Than Ever

WE all know what a tough few years Tori Spelling has had.

Not only has she been very vocal about the struggles she has been dealing with, but she also invited cameras into her house to document each and every moment. Viewers have seen everything from her turbulent relationship with husband Dean McDermott and money problems, to the distant relationship with her mother and how she manages to raise kids Liam, Stella, Hattie and Finn.

However, when Tori and her estranged husband Dean threw a birthday party for three-year-old Finn, everyone was all smiles and one could see that Tori is doing a whole lot better. “Tori and Dean have been through the wringer, but it’s only made them stronger,” a friend of the family said at the recent gathering. “They put their family first and refused to let anything break them apart, and they made it. As far as Tori is concerned, they hit rock bottom and now the only way to go is up. She’s so much happier now and is even eating normally again.”

Naturally, Dean’s cheating took a huge toll on Tori and it was hard to build that trust again but things are finally back on track. The two even have a brand new cooking show called Tori & Dean’s Spring Picnic coming soon. “Things are really great right now,” Tori said recently. “I wanted the fairytale. I thought it should be that way. And when it wasn’t I was like, ‘Well, what do I do? Divorce my husband?’ I have four kids. I was like, ‘You know what? I love this man. I’m going to make this work’. We started at ground zero and built it back up.”

Gwen Opens Up: ‘Blake Saved Me’

Hoarders: Family Secrets, Wednesdays At 22h25 On Lifetime

THIS show takes us on a journey across America as we meet people with hoarding problems. Their hoarding is so extreme that there are often smells, diseases and even dead animals buried in the homes they live. The Hoarders team are brought on to help these people get rid of the many things they no longer need.

WE are so obsessed with this romance! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are the celebrity couple everyone is talking about and although they seem happy now, the truth is that their romance came out of two failed marriages – and it was hard for both of them. When Gwen split from former husband Gavin Rossdale, she admits that she was shattered and didn’t understand how it hadn’t worked out. “I’m still transitioning, trying to understand what happened and how it could happen,” she said. “Like, my parents have been married since high school, and it’s hard to understand that my dreams were so broken.” However, she found solace returning to The Voice and seeing someone who was going through a breakup as well. “When I went back to The Voice, and there was somebody there that was going through exactly the same thing at the same time – it just saved me,” she admits. Gwen also reveals that her new album was a huge form of therapy for her. “I’ve been very blessed to put my pain, and my joy, into this record. It really is a true miracle.”

Chloe Ferry’s New Shocking Surgery Plans

Date My Family, Fridays At 19h30 On Mzansi Magic

THE second season of Date My Family is here. The show helps people find love by putting them on dates with their partner’s family. However, can you really trust your family to help you find ‘the one’?

A FEW weeks ago we reported on how Geordie Shore stars Charlotte Crosby and Holly Hagan went under the knife, ultimately becoming addicted to looking perfect. The two aren’t afraid to take matters into their own hands and get surgery to look their best. Now, their Geordie housemate, Chloe Ferry, who has also had a few procedures done, is going under the knife again – and you won’t believe what she wants done! “I’m thinking about having more surgery. I’d like to get my jaw done – I want it chiselled,” she revealed recently. Chloe has already had an extensive amount of work done on her body such as Botox, cheek fillers, an eyebrow lift, her eyebrows tattooed and also getting lip fillers on four separate occasions. However, much like Charlotte and Holly, Chloe is proud of her new look and is turning to surgery quicker than ever before to fix any other issues she may have (such as her jaw). “I’ve liked the stuff I’ve had done so far, so I think I’ll be alright,” she said. Chloe, however, isn’t planning on touching her bum and boobs anytime soon. “I’d never get a boob job because I have nice boobs. Besides, big boobs are out of fashion now. I wouldn’t have bum implants either – I don’t need them.”

IFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Jasmine Thompson is one of the most exciting new voices in the international music scene. Her smash hits Sun Goes Down, with Robin Schulz, Fast Car and Ain’t Nobody (Loves Me Better) with Felix Jaehn became huge hits in South Africa and the singer is headlining the Parklife and Summer Waves festivals here in SA. We caught up with her ahead of her shows to talk about her burgeoning career.

We’re so excited to have you in SA! What are you hoping to get up to here besides your Parklife performance?

I am so excited to be coming! I haven’t been to Africa before, so I don’t really know what to expect.

I’ll definitely be making some time around my performances to go on some kind of wildlife tour!

I’m also excited to meet all my fans that I have been talking to on Twitter.

You’re only 15 and already making waves. Where did your passion for music start?

My parents have always had music on in the house and I started playing music myself when I was eight.

Around that time, I started having piano and singing lessons and it escalated from there. I posted my first YouTube video when I was 10. I had lots of encouraging comments so I carried on posting covers of my favourite songs. I have always loved music, so I’m happy that I get to do something musical.

You’ve collaborated with some big artists. How did that all happen?

My first big collaboration was with Robin Schulz on Sun Goes Down. That came about because we are on the same record label. They sent me the track and

KENDRICK LAMAR’S latest album To Pimp A Butterfly has been called one of the best hip-hop albums of the past five years. The rapper, however, dropped a surprise compilation album of previously unreleased demos that originated during the recording of To Pimp. There is something so special about Kendrick’s releases. While hip-hop is, these days, seen as a genre which explores topics of fast cars, women, money and drugs, the genre originated as a way to tackle political and psychological themes which helped the audience think and express views they weren’t able to through other methods, and Kendrick keeps this essence of hip-hop alive. But the rapper also isn’t afraid to experiment with other genres on his hip-hop album, and elements of jazz, funk and soul are heard throughout.

I really loved it, so I decided to give it a go.

Robin liked my version, so we released it! On the other hand, Felix Jaehn found my cover of Chaka Khan’s Ain’t Nobody on YouTube and did a remix of it. We were chatting on Skype, collaborating on this song for a year before we met up to do the music video in Barcelona! I can’t wait for my next collaboration.

Your cover of Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car has been a huge hit here. What drew you to cover it?

I can’t believe how much support I’m getting from South Africa – it’s amazing. I have loved Fast Car for a very long time. I really connect with the lyrics and I wanted to share my interpretation of this classic with everyone.

What can we expect from you at Parklife?

I love performing with my band. Parklife will be the first festival I have ever performed at with my band. We are just starting to rehearse a special setup, which will definitely include a special version of Fast Car! Touring the world at 15 must be pretty surreal.

How are you coping?

It is pretty surreal! I have these moments when I realise how lucky I am. I just recently finished a tour with Robin Schulz where I was on stage performing to 7 000 people every night! I travel everywhere with my mom and my team, who are like a family to me while we’re on the road. Then every time I’m back in London I hang out with my friends and get on my with homework. It’s been fun.

AMERICAN pop star Tori Kelly did phenomenally well last year. Now her album Unbreakable Smile is out and Tori is set to dominate the world of pop in the years to come. The album starts off with a short intro which sees Tori showing off her incredible voice over an acoustic guitar. This instantly makes the listener understand that Tori is a fantastic vocalist and that this album isn’t going to be your average pop record. In fact, one thing that we really enjoyed is Tori’s phenomenal songwriting skills. Each track gives the listener a different piece of who she really is and she articulates this beautifully. The album has an old-school sound to it which, although coming across as dated at times, separates her music from the influx of mediocre pop music. We did find, however, that at some parts Tori was hiding her voice behind big production, which is quite a waste of her vocal skill.

LOCAL indie pop band Al Bairre stole our hearts when they released their smash hit single Bungalow, and now, the band have officially dropped Experience The Al Bairre Show With Al Bairre Experience – an eight-track EP which is one fun collection.

It’s fast-paced and has a high energy which will instantly draw listener in. The songs are guitar and banjo-driven and have a fun, summery sound. This is feel-good music at its best and although we struggled to hear the lyrics at times, when focused, their lyrical content is cheeky and different. These guys are clearly uber-creative and they did a great job with this EP. We see them doing big things for the local industry.

Ariel Winter was spending her spring break in the warm Caribbean waters having fun with her boyfriend Laurent Gaudette, a bunch of her friends and some cute dolphins! The 18-year-old sported a black wetsuit and hair in flowing waves over her shoulders, but later changed into a white two-piece bikini, displaying her body to perfection. The star is clearly enjoying some bae-cation time, although she seemed a little nervous about the marine mammals being so close to her!

WITH a seven-year age difference, Gwen is nipping and tucking to keep her younger beau happy.

WEN STEFANI is one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood. But according to insiders, the singer has a face full of Botox, and more, these days – and it’s all to keep new boyfriend Blake Shelton.

After a sudden split from her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale, 50, Gwen hooked up with fellow The Voice mentor Blake. But sources say she’s scared of this relationship not lasting, and she’s willing to do just about anything to keep Blake happy. And apparently her constant visits to the doctor for a little nip, tuck and suck is just what the country singer likes.

Insiders have revealed that Gwen will do whatever it takes to hang on to her young, hunky superstar beau, and after being photographed out in New York with a rather tight-looking face, some of Hollywood’s top plastic surgeons are Gwen spotted out in speaking out. the Big Apple According to the experts, the No Doubt star has likely had ‘a face and neck lift, Botox, fillers and much more!’

Dr Michael Salzhauer, aka ‘Dr Miami’, who has worked on many A-list stars, says, “Gwen appears to have done Botox.

But she’s also had her already luscious lips plumped up to perfection.” He adds, “Aside from that, she’s just most likely had a series of chemical peels. She looks great.”

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Sheila Nazarian – who has not treated the star – told Radar that she agrees with Dr Miami, adding, “Gwen looks like she has had a lot of fillers in her face, Botox and chemical peels. She’s most likely also had some laser treatments and, if she is into the trend that all of Hollywood is doing right now, she has most likely tried platelet-rich plasma, commonly called the Vampire Facial.”

And as if that’s not enough, according to a celebrity aesthetician and cosmetic specialist, “It looks like Gwen also has undergone Ultratherapy, which is a non-surgical face lift and neck lift.”

There’s no doubt she looks amazing for her age – and shouldn’t have to worry about the age gap between her and Blake. But it seems the star will do anything to keep a smile on Blake’s face.

POLICE are investigating the circumstances surrounding the murder of Super Bowl winner Will Smith, 34, who, along with his wife, Racquel, was shot in what police initially believed may have been a road rage incident but now claim could have been a planned hit. Smith was driving his Mercedes G63 SUV with Racquel in the passenger seat when the couple approached a four-way stop. According to reports, Smith and the driver of a Hummer SUV ‘exchanged words’ before the Hummer’s driver shot Smith multiple times and shot Smith’s wife in the right leg. She is thankfully expected to make a full recovery. One man has been arrested in connection with the murder and has appeared in court. Bail was set at over R10-million – an amount the suspect can nowhere near afford – so it would seem the he won’t be going anywhere soon. Players and coaches from throughout Smith’s career have taken to social media to express their condolences.

HEIR best videos on YouTube have racked up over 100 000 views; this year they took home the SAFTA for best TV comedy; and over their lifetime they have made literally millions of South Africans laugh – yet most people wouldn’t recognise these comedians if they saw them.

Puppet Nation is a satirical weekly comedy show where the stars are SA’s politicians, and celebrities – or at least, latex puppet versions of them.

The story behind ZA News’ Puppet Nation is one of heart, toil, effort, and quite a bit of silliness. The show’s victories at various award ceremonies have come as vindication for the Puppet Nation crew as for a long time it looked like the show was never going to make it to TV at all. The fact that it did, and is now considered the best of its kind in the country, is down to a dedicated team of hard working, and very funny professionals.

The man behind the show is a soft-spoken American named Thierry Cassuto, who explains that the story of ZA News and Puppet Nation began way back in 1997 on one of his first visits to South Africa.

“Back then I spent a Thierry Cassuto, lot of time meeting with creator media people – journalists, producers, broadcast execs, as well as friends and family, and I realised that this new South Africa needed a show such as Puppet Nation, a funny, social commentary show, such as Puppet Nation, in which people could laugh at each other, at the powerful, but most importantly with each other,” he explains. “The constitution provided free speech and there was plenty of material for satirists, yet there wasn’t a satirical show on TV back then.”

Thierry had been involved in a similar type of show during his years working in France, and inspired by the classic UK series, Spitting Image, says he knew just what to do to turn the vision into a reality. Together with famous cartoonist

COUNTRY Zapiro, Thierry shot a pilot for his show and started introducing it to broadcasters. M-NET, SABC and e.tv all found reasons to turn the show down, but Thierry wouldn’t give up and finally in 2008 the SABC finally agreed to fund a 30-minute pilot episode. Then CEO Dali Mpofu watched that pilot, told the hopeful producers that ‘SA wasn’t ready for it’ and once again the hopes of the team were dashed.

“The Mail & Guardian and Kulula.com thankfully provided technical and financial support, and in 2009 we launched ZA News online as a daily satirical news show, and seeing how popular it became, TopTV decided to licence the show from us,” laughs Thierry, whose relief at the time must have been fairly immense.

“It’s now in its fifth year Karen Jeynes on StarSat each Saturday and Sunday night 52 weeks a year!”

That dedication has clearly paid off as this year Puppet Nation won four SAFTAs, while last year it won seven, the year before three and in 2013 three others. They have won a hatrick of Best TV Comedy awards, 12 IAB Digital Bookmarks and last year were nominated for an International Emmy Award, totally dominating the comedy space in SA. Needless to say a comedy show of this quality doesn’t come together out of nowhere. Lead by the hilarious Karen Jeynes the writing team on both Puppet Nation and the online satirical news site ZA News works every day of the week to keep turning out quality, funny content that lives up to the award winning hype.

“There are two distinct elements to the writing, we have the skits, parodies, and fake adverts, which are written and filmed over a few weeks, and then we have the news, which is written every week on Tuesday for the show that goes online on Thursday night – which is really incredibly hectic. For the skits and such like, we have writers’ meetings once a month, where we bounce ideas and get a little crazy, and for the news, Nkuli Sibeko, myself and Thierry Cassuto read the news like mad things over the weekend and Monday, try and be a little psychic about what news will be big this coming weekend, and then write through the night to make each week’s episode happen,” explains Karen, who is also well known for her extensive theatre work writing original plays.

It’s something of a dream job for Karen who describes herself as a ‘lifelong class clown’, but there is little doubt she and her team work hard.

“I was literally writing the next episode of the show on the plane home from the SAFTAs.

The writing team’s jokes are brought to life by the puppets.

The ‘lifesize latex characters’, as they are called, are all made on site by sculptor Matt Sanna who, using a photograph of the person to be parodied, carefully caricatures, then moulds and casts the new puppet in an oven. The next step is to make that latex more human, with the addition of mechanical moving eyes and eyelids, hair, airbrushing, and to make finishes, before “Each week there’s about 18 solid the talented, award minutes of formidable green winning costume nothingness that has to magically department gets a go become a news studio.
