People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Taking A Trip Down Memory Lane…HELLO people peeps, isn’t it scary how fast the years fly by? We’re taking a trip down memory lane this week as some of our favourite things are turning 20 this year. Yep, that’s right…. hit film, Titanic, starring the gorgeous Leonardo DiCaprio was made 20 years ago. It was also two decades ago that we got introduced to Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brain Littrell, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough – the five gorgeous men who made up popular boy band The Backstreet Boys, who had girls worldwide, including me, drooling for years. Why stop there. Films like Men In Black, starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, and hit songs like I’m A Barbie Girl, In A Barbie World are also 20 years old – go on, sing the…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017THE MANY HUES OF HefnerTHE ying and yang, light and dark, good and bad boy side of Hugh Hefner makes it difficult for many to truly understand who the real player behind the Playboy empire was. Known for bedding countless women – with some estimating he’s had more than 2 000 under the sheets – and pinned as a womaniser who objectified women and lover of a lavish lifestyle, Hugh is as hated as he is loved by the masses. His recent death at the age of 91 of natural causes has seen a myriad of different responses. Was Hugh simply the ultimate lady’s man or was he behind the exploitation, rape and abuse of the harem of girlfriends he housed at the Playboy Mansion? We take a look at…3 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Kylie A BILLIONAIRE BY 25KYLIE JENNER might have big sister Kim Kardashian to thank for making her family famous, but it looks like the youngest child is turning out to be the most successful. Not only has she transformed her look over the last 10 years, but the 20-year-old is transforming her bank account, with insiders claiming she could be a billionaire by the age of 25. With news of her pregnant with her first child breaking recently — we still don’t know if the baby daddy is boyfriend Travis Scott or ex Tyga — it looks like the reality star will be enjoying fame, fortune and motherhood, and perhaps turn out to be momager Kris Jenner’s biggest asset. Thanks to her cosmetic empire — and well, just about everything else she’s done over…3 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Twerking For ParityIS this what they call self-respect nowadays? Then again, a bit of attention is rather welcome from time to time. However, everybody knows that Blac Chyna is a woman – she does not need to prove it; her healthily proportioned booty is a dead giveaway. Nevertheless, in a cause for applause one can suppose, she teamed up with the ever controversial Amber Rose at the latter’s annual slu*t Walk. It pulled in a reported 20 000 people and was superhero-themed. Rose herself went as ‘Captain Save a Hoe’ while Chyna dressed in nothing but see-through mesh, a thong and a bra. What kind of hero she was supposed to be remains a mystery. All however was staged in the name of feminism. Confusing, yes, but whatever works, right?…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017PENSIONERS WITH PECS!WHILE their pensioner friends are busy channel-surfing from the safety of their sofa, former entertainer Ted Pollard, 75, can be found doing the splits, while ex-gym owner John Bubb, 81, squats the maximum weight on the machine. Both grandfathers-of-six from the UK, the friends first met at the Mr Universe competition in London in 1967. And they have been working out together since being re-united at a gym several years ago – when they were already well into their retirement. Father-of-two Ted, who gave up pure bodybuilding for gymnastics and martial arts and remains as flexible as an 18-year-old ballerina, says, “I don’t think any other 75-year-old in the world can match my physique and what I’m capable of doing. Zero. If you find one, I would love to meet…3 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Wear Your SupportACCORDING to the CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa), breast cancer is the most common cancer among South African women. As with every year, we make it our job to ensure the importance of this cause is conveyed and to raise awareness around the issue. And not just in October, but as often as we can. Be there to support your loved ones or those around you who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Tip MOST people don’t like a shiny skirt as it can come across as too much. Either tone it down with a neutral top, or move the attention away from the skirt by wearing a statement necklace. WHAT’S great about sheer dresses is that there are multiple ways to wear the trend. If you don’t want…2 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017In The PinkIF you notice beauty counters turning a pretty palette of pink, it’s with good reason: October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and beauty brands are doing their part to support the cause by creating products and events that lend a hand to this worthy cause. Get these limited-edition goodies before month’s end, and you’ll feel as good as you’ll look. Mandy’s Cares NOT only is Mandy’s Hair Removal Lotion a quick and easy way to remove unwanted hair, but it’s also a great way to give back this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A percentage of sales from this product will be donated to The Pink Drive.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017TAKING ON THE Tide For CharityWE’VE had great humanitarians throughout the ages. Modern charitable figures are often thought of as heads of tech-corporations who can afford to spare a few million; and we think of history’s great humanitarians as bearded folk who never spoke without an endearing quote passing their lips. We think of them as highly influential people who held sway over many – we think their wisdom came with age. But this isn’t always the case. The Red Cross is an organisation that often makes good headway within a philanthropic realm; this is where 11-year-old Abriella Bredell and the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town come into play. Abriella is the small package dynamite comes in and in December this year, she’ll attempt a grandiose feat in an attempt to…4 min

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017TIPS To Prevent Giving In To Cravings1 FIND non-food strategies to deal with negative emotions, such as regular exercise. 2 BE sure to get enough good-quality sleep. 3 EAT regular nutritious meals and snacks to avoid becoming over-hungry. 4 DON’T view a specific food as forbidden. An unhealthy item can be part of a healthy eating pattern – as long as it’s kept as an occasional treat. 5 mindful when eating – focus on each mouthful of food, chew thoroughly, and avoid eating when distracted, such as while watching television. 6 PLAN meals ahead – it’s easier to give in to cravings when having to decide on impulse what to eat. 7 KEEP hydrated by drinking enough water or unsweetened herbal teas. 8 DON’T keep junk food in the house – it’s harder to give in…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017workout of The weekWHEN one thinks of the perfect butt, who comes to mind first – Shakira, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Lady Gaga, Luisana Lopilato, Coco Austin, Beyoncé, Aubrey O’Day, Catalina Otalvaro, Kelly Brook or Caitlin Rice? If you answered, “Heck, all of them!” then you’re on the right track. These celebs all swear by the Marching Bridge Workout to keep their rears in tip-top shape. The workout is a simple yet super-effective exercise to target your glutes and hamstrings without risk of your quads taking over. By lifting your leg while holding the bridge, you’ll also activate your entire core.…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Meeks And Mild, Medium, HOT!FELON? Er… well, yeah, technically. But he’s feloniously hot, too, so forgive him. And us. And yourself – because we know we aren’t the only ones taking a gander at this dude. To be honest, Jeremy Meeks, who officially became the world’s hottest con when his mugshot was caused a frenzy in 2014, was spotted on a mystery shoot with photographer and manager Jim Jordan in Malibu, recently, and we found ourselves paraphrasing Anastacia: If love is a crime, we’ll do the (hard) time.…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Dear DocDEAR DOC, I’M a married 45-year-old virgin. I’m unable to have sex. There’s nothing physically wrong with me and I’ve never been abused. My husband is caring and understanding. Obviously it makes me worried. Midlife Virgin DEAR MIDLIFE VIRGIN, THERE is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when it comes to sex. However, if it causes issues in your relationship then it’s something to take seriously. There is a whole group of people who term themselves ‘asexual’, whose sexual orientation is not to have any interest in sex. It affects an estimated three percent of the population. However, there are also a variety of medical and psychological issues that can cause difficulty or unwillingness to have sex. These are best handled by a gynaecologist, endocrinologist and psychologist. The only way to deal…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017THE ULTIMATE WEDDING GIFT‘I’M in heaven for your wedding so what shall I do? I’ll come down to earth to spend it with you…’ AS soon as she woke up on her wedding day, Rebecca Turney couldn’t stop crying. Unable to explain her hypersensitivity, she silently wondered if she ‘was weepy’ because her son Triston wasn’t there to witness her marriage to Kelly Turney. It had been two years since 19-year-old Triston Green died. Rebecca was devastated by his death, but she tried to find some meaning in it. She hoped that donating his organs would keep his memory alive for others besides her family. She was so right. The 40-year-old bride walked up the grassy aisle accompanied by her father, Bill Green. Moments after taking the groom’s hand, Kelly Turney suddenly let…4 min

TIPS ON ADOPTING A PET BEFORE you adopt your furever furkid, make sure you have considered the following: • Do you travel away from home a lot? • Does your complex / neighbourhood allow pets? • Do you have a safe and secure home for the new addition? • Do you have the time and money to look after a pet? • Will you love and care for this animal its entire life? • Will the animal fit in with your other pets? • Ensure the breed is one that suits you and your family. • Do you have enough space for your furkid to exercise? • If you have…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Strange But TrueNow That's A Six-Pack! THE fanny pack has long fallen out of fashion. Yes, it’s utilitarian, but unsolicited phone calls from the ’80s are unwelcome. Some design houses try to resurrect the pack under monikers like ‘belted satchels’ and ‘hands-free bags’ – nobody’s fooled. However, London-based art director Albert Pukies recently unveiled his very own ‘Dadbag’. It’s a fanny pack through and through, but it gives off the illusion that the wearer actually sports a big, fat hairy gut in a crop-top. It is designed in such a way that a six-pack of beer can be stored in it. Pukie’s rationale behind its origin is also rather strange: “I made the Dadbag because I’m desperate to have a dad bod but I’m also very concerned about the health risks associated…3 min

Well, the star is making her way back to the reality show and we couldn’t be more excited! The trailer for the upcoming 10th season of the show shows a glimpse of the star returning – and bringing a whole lot of drama with her. “I am back and of course the haters know I’m here,” she says, and is ready to battle it out with co-star Porsha Williams. The two have never really seen eye-to-eye and will be trying to settle their differences in the upcoming season, which will be the star’s first full one since Season Seven.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Week In FocusA Crossover Episode ONE can argue where the ties between Sri Lankans and the Japanese lie, but at this point it matters very little. Instead a vulnerable societal group had their day as Sri Lankan girls rehearsed a traditional Japanese dance in light of the Children’s Day in the nation’s capital of Colombo. Institutions like zoos (the Dehiwala zoo included) allowed children to enter free of charge provided they wore their school uniforms. On Face-Value THERE is a confusing dichotomy concerning women’s modesty in the Islamic world. In largely Muslim countries, women wear some form of facial veil to express this enshrined value. Continental Europe, however, has seen an influx of refugees from these countries and Austria now intends to pull out the ban hammer regarding any form of facial…2 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017# What’s TRENDING1 He Walks Amongst Us Once Again! AFTER nine years of being behind bars for a Las Vegas kidnapping and armed robbery, OJ Simpson is once again a free man, having left prison in the early hours of the morning on Sunday, October 1. Speaking on behalf of the Lovelock Correctional Centre and the Nevada Division of Parole and Probation, a statement read: “Mr Simpson submitted a parole release plan for a residence in Las Vegas, Nevada. The plan was investigated and approved by the Division of Parole and Probation.” No further information was released at the time, and it is believed that Simpson would, in due course and through his family and attorneys, divulge his future plans to the public as and when he ‘sees fit’.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017KHLOÉ STEALS The LimelightJUST days after the Kylie pregnancy news broke, it was announced that Khloé Kardashian was expecting, too — which now means there are three Kardashian-Jenner babies on the way in 2018 (including Kim’s third child via surrogate, that is). But while Kylie’s news shocked the world, we were all very excited for Khloé who we have watched struggle to fall pregnant for years. Now, after seeking fertility treatment, insiders reveal the star and her beau Tristan Thompson are set to welcome their first child after a year-long romance. And she’s due around the same time as little sister Kylie, too, in February 2018. “Khloé is ready to become a mother and has been for a while,” a source told Hollywood Life. “Khloé is the happiest she’s ever been and is…1 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017BRAD’S ‘FORGOTTEN’ Grandmother DiesBRAD PITT’s elderly grandmother Betty Russell has passed away without ever fulfilling her dying wish of seeing her grandson one last time. The 95-year-old – affectionately known as ‘Meema’ – spent her last years in the sub-standard one-star Rose Manor Nursing Center in Shawnee, Oklahoma, but peacefully passed away on September 14 at a local hospital. Although she received visits from her sisters, who lived nearby, and many family and friends in her final days, Brad’s last documented trip to see his grandmother was almost 10 years ago. In 2012 Brad’s aunt, Mary Ann Lanier, said it had already been four years since his last visit, lamenting, “She misses him. He doesn’t write, he doesn’t seem to stay in contact with her. I don’t know, I’m sure he’s busy but…2 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017A SLIP OF THE TONGUESTEPHANIE WIGGLESWORTH was diagnosed with rare oral cancer and told the only treatment was to cut out half her tongue. The flesh would be replaced by a replica made from her arm skin. Immediately after the transplant she could communicate only by writing. But after intensive speech therapy she was able to say her first words – the names of her children Keiran, 11, and Daisy, six. Stephanie, 34, says, “To fear you’ll never say your kids’ names again is the most horrible thing. It takes nine different muscles just to swallow so I had a lot to learn. Keiran’s a difficult name to say. That was a challenge as my tongue was swollen and had stitches in it.” But 12 days after her surgery, she mastered ‘Keiran’ and ‘Daisy’…2 min

But while the years fly by, the memories are fabulous – and it’s hard to believe that these events happened two decades ago. Let’s go back to 1997….. 1. Titanic YES, we know…. it feels like yesterday that we watched (and drooled) over Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. But fact is in December this year it will be 20 years since the hit movie was released. 2. Butterfly, By Mariah Carey SHE’S had many hits since, but we all know that we played Mariah Carey’s Butterfly on repeat for months.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017SHIFT YOUR HomeSELLING property can be tricky. Sure, celebs often get their asking price when putting their homes on the market. Khloé Kardashian sold her multi-million dollar mansion to Kaley Cuoco and then snapped up Justin Bieber’s six-bedroom mansion in Calabasas. Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s homes hit the market and were quickly picked up by music mogul Dr Dre. But the reality is that in South Africa, due to the current economic downturn, there are many homes currently up for sale, some of which have been on the market for more than two years. In January this year, 12.3 percent of properties sold at a loss and 76 percent of these homes (9.4 percent) were sold for five percent less than their original purchase price. We chat to Kate Emmerson, author…4 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017BODYBUILDING Bully-BreakerTHE sporting world can be an emotional battleground where athletes compete with astounding will, dedication and a drive to be perfect. Mix-gender sports puts a whole new spin on things. Ajay Holbrook at 20 is a man who would likely put most men to shame with his physique. He was, however, born female. In fact, it was only over the last four years that he made it his mission to transition. Episodes of physical abuse had been a catalyst for this. “I was actually physically abused by a relative at the time and I never wanted to feel that defenceless again,” he says. “So I began working out to be able to defend myself and not feel so helpless. Looking back on it now, it was one of the best…2 min

Life happens and there are birthdays, weddings and other events coming up. Dieting doesn’t have to stop your social life and eating off a menu doesn’t have to stop you from doing what is good for you. Use this list from Terry Harris, dietician at Discovery Vitality, to keep it healthy: 1 Watch Portion Sizes FAST food and portions when eating out are generally bigger than you need for one meal.

I don’t want to live a life where you can’t have what you want; it just makes you want it more.’ – Drew Barrymore ‘THE fountain of youth? Let’s see; I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex! Yes, sex! We need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!’ – Cameron Diaz ‘THE key thing is figuring out what your issues are, and it’s really never about the food.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017MAN OF A THOUSAND TUMOURSONE would hope that of the things to be inherited from one’s parents, pleasing features and a great work ethic would be the first on the list. Sadly, afflictions in our day and age are plenty, and many of them are hereditary, too. Surinder Sharma, 46, from India, knows this all too well. He inherited neurofibromatosis from his father – only Surinder’s case is far, far worse. The disease is typically characterised by hundreds, if not thousands, of small tumours that ravage an individual’s epidermis. The only upside, for lack of a better word, is that the tumours are often non-malignant. Sharma first developed the benign growths when he was 20, and states that they have got worse with age and that the condition is systematically ruining his life because…1 min

He is one of a few people caring for Puerto Rico’s stray animals.

He finishes between 05h00 and 07h00 every day. He says, “It’s me against the world because I’m doing something that almost no-one in this area supports or wants.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017The Crimes Of Émile BuissonÉMILE BUISSON was born in southern France in August 1902. His father was an alcoholic and a builder of bakers’ ovens. Only two of Emile’s eight siblings survived. Worn out by overwork, starvation and beatings from her husband, Emile’s mother ended up in an asylum. His father took to exhibiting Emile’s mentally challenged sister in cafes for money. Later found guilty of having sex with minors (including Emile’s sister), he died in prison. Emile served his first term in jail at the age of 16. As conscription was then in force in France, he was then sent to a penal battalion in North Africa. Conditions in such battalions were harsh, but Buisson managed to distinguish himself, earning the Croix de Guerre for bravery. Back in France he returned to a…2 min
People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Look At Her Now !JOICE SARAIVA for the most part lives a rather normal life now. She’s a 35-year-old Brazilian native, happily married and mother to two adopted children. But just over a year ago she was morbidly obese and her relationship with her husband had lost its spark. For years the administrator from Salvador neglected her health. She’d scoff down sugar and bread at an alarming rate – two foodstuffs in particular that guarantee excessive weight gain. She ballooned and before long weighed an astronomical 118kg. Her body mass index had been pushed to the limit. She was obese and her size physically inhibited her from incorporating exercise into her daily routine. And while being obese may carry an emotional toll, with it comes an onslaught of some of the worst health risks…2 min

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Jamie Foxx“IF you look at how long the Earth has been here, we’re living in the blink of an eye. So whatever it is you want to do, go out and do it.”Jamie Foxx WITH both an Oscar and a Grammy on his mantle, Jamie Foxx is a one-man entertainment empire.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Hef PASSES AT 91AI, the end of an era has come. The monger of the world’s finest nudie mag sadly passed, but he has nevertheless left an indelible legacy within the print industry. Hugh Hefner had something many business moguls never had; a very likable disposition… He had an inviting demeanour – one that made you want to have a beer with him. He oozed level-headedness and he rarely seemed to have lost his temper. Granted, his business may not have sat well with many conservatives, but he definitely was not a purveyor of smut. Heck, some people bought Playboy purely for its gripping articles. Well, at least they claim to have had. He was an astute editor, a philanthropist, a supporter of gay marriage and a lover of all animals. Yes, one…1 min

According to sources, Locklear got into a blow-out with her jailbird boyfriend Chris Heisser, before driving her Porsche into a ditch, breaking her collarbone in the accident.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017Transgender BARES ALLMEET the tenacious transgender man who is baring his breasts on Instagram in a bid to celebrate the beauty of the physical transition involved in changing gender. Coming from a family with traditional ideals, Colter Alexander, 24, felt like he had to hold back his identity for a long time and didn’t have the courage to reveal the truth until he moved away.

People Magazine South Africa|Week 41 - 2017The Cosmic Power Of CeleryCAN certain foods have negative calories? In other words, the more you eat, the more weight you lose? Celery is one such miracle food, kinda, if you’re trying to shed kilos. Although it doesn’t burn more calories than it packs, celery is by nature super-low in calories, so you can munch on it without feeling guilty. A cup of chopped raw celery has just 16 calories, which is just one percent of the daily limit in a 1 500-calorie diet, and each large celery stalk has just 10 calories. Boiled celery has slightly more calories, at 27 per cup, but this still takes up less than two percent of your daily calorie budget on a 1 500-calorie diet. Despite the low calorie count, it keeps you feeling full and satiated,…2 min

Where do we sign up?), Drew seemingly had little interest, which may be a case of life imitating art, since the horror comedy tells the story of Joel and Sheila Hammond, a couple who faces an obstacle when Sheila starts craving human flesh; considering Drew was in the presence of Timothy, it’s small wonder ice cream took a back seat.
