News Shorts - WTF?!

WTF?! Real Gold Digger of Pretoria Mel Viljoen to appear on Diepe Waters on 10 and 11 April, as herself. This is her answer when asked about the difference between playing herself on a reality show versus a telenovela: "I play myself as the head of Tammy Taylor. So, that was quite a natural role for me. I understand what I’m doing. The Diepe Waters team just had to help me make the words fit with my facial expressions." Expect stellar acting. NOT.

WTF?! These endless pageants are out of control. Miss World South Africa airs on S3 on 28 October at 18h00, hosted by Minnie Dlamini. The goal: to find an entrant for Miss World in India in December. But we've just had Miss South Africa and Miss SA 2021 Shudu Musida was our contender for Miss World two years ago. This year a different 12 are competing to go. Why? Because the Miss South Africa Organisation has lost its Miss World license to Carol Bouwer Productions.

Category presenters will present from a central location, while winners will accept their awards in pre-recorded inserts. See comments for a quote by the awards' Executive Producer Anneke de Ridder. >>
