Social media is in such a hectic buzz after Minenhle "Minnie" Dlamini & T-Bo Touch have been announced to host Metro FM Music Awards.  This is after majority of the people on both facebook & twitter had high hopes that Bonang Matheba will be hosting this year's gala event.  Twelebs have described Minnie as a girl from KZN who is "Everywhere" and T-Bo as "annoying" which some twitter users described as jealousy & envy.  #MMA14 will be taking place in Durban this coming weekend at Chief Albert Luthuli ICC and will broadcast live on SABC1 at 20h00.  Tickets to the main event have been sold out.  People who would like to be part of this amazing event can do so by purchasing tickets to the public viewing area at Durban Moses Mabida, People's Park where the official after party will be held.

The long awaited moment, nominations for Royalty Soapie Awards 2015 took place at a star studded ceremony at Melrose Arch which saw major players in SA industry gracing the event.  I understand that most of the actors don't have personal stylists but we appreciate the fact that they really try to look great when they are off screen. It was also great to see the real A-listers at their event, not rent a crowd!  Main event to take place on the 28th March 2015 in Durban at the ICC.  Here is what who wore what!  See You in Durban.   Andile Sithole looking like he was about to attend a 9am church service, but again akukho wrong...

Dear aspiring beauty queen with a fragile heart... I am sorry I had to be the one to tell you this, but honestly, this is NOT your destiny, child!  If every time something negative is said or written about you then you gonna run to mummy and cry!  Every time something negative and true is said to you, you feel you are being attacked,  Unfortunately that says you are NOT ready!  The moment you walk onto that stage please note that you are opening yourself for people to critic you, not because people are hating on you or are against you, simply because you gave them something to pick on.  Your "friends" that loves you so much and support you will not tell you the truth because it will hurt you, but guess what, you are setting yourself up for failure and laughter for not wanting to listen and they should be ashamed for allowing their friend to go in public and make a laughing stock of herself instead of helping and protecting you! Everyone started somewh...
