HILE LEE THOMPSON and Gina Myers didn’t find everlasting love on the first season of The Bachelor South Africa, the experiment returns for a second season with Marc Buckner in line to date 22 women from around the country. The bachelor opens up about what he is looking for in a wife. “I’m looking for somebody who is mature and goalorientated, someone who wants to travel and is likeminded – but when I say that, I mean a go-getter, someone who wants to get out there, get me out of bed and who says ‘let’s go create something’,” Marc says. “That’s definitely the person who I would love to spend my time with, or potentially, hopefully, my life.” One of the reasons Lee and Gina’s relationship failed was because he lived in Cape Town and she lived in Johannesburg – but Marc isn’t worried about that kind of scenario. “I love Cape Town, but I’m very flexible,” he says. “I’ve lived and travelled in and to so many places, and I think that’s what helps me to enjoy life but also to grow. I’m open to it. I have lived in Durban previously. So who knows? It would be great to travel to those areas and to see what it’s like.”
DEMI LOVATO LANDS TALK SHOW
IT’S looking to be a promising year for Demi Lovato who, after last year’s relapse, is bouncing back hard. She wowed millions as she performed the American national anthem at the Super Bowl, debuted her brand-new single Anyone at the Grammys and has now announced that she has landed her very own talk show on the mobile short-form content platform, Quibi. The 10-episode programme has the working title Pillow Talk With Demi, and will see the star get candid on topics like activism, body positivity, sex, gender identity, relationships, social media and wellness, as well as the classic interviews with celebrity and expert guests. “I’ve always considered myself someone that speaks honestly about issues that face my generation,” Demi said in a statement announcing the show. “We’re excited to bring those frank conversations to a public forum, where people can have the opportunity to relate to the topics and guests, while finding room for laughter and learning.” While the premiere date is still being kept under wraps, many believe it will be available when Quibi launches on April 6.
