We all know that there are those celebrities that are no stranger to the newspapers, magazines etc. They are always blazing the front covers (if not inside) of the newspapers every Sunday and magazines every week or month. Sometimes you are like aren’t there other celebrities that these people can write about. But again you realise that these celebs are giving journalist something to write about everyday. I sometimes think maybe even the media on its own is cashing in big bucks when they write about these celebs. So yah in no particular order here are some of the celebs that are loved by media.
Bonang Matheba, this girl is always in the newspapers and magazines especially, Drum mag. It’s like she has a contract with them. They always have something to say about B, good or bad they write about it. I am sure she is not one of those celebs who would cry that the newspapers are always reporting bad things about her. If they are not talking about her break up with Slikour they are talking about her and a man she was with at an event. They talk about her style and how good she’s doing it for herself. She attends every party, which I would like to believe she gets all the invites, nee Bonang... Many young girls would love to be Bonang even older ones lol. Well, we can say she’s currently in a relationship with one of my favourite Dj’s, Euphonik. They are trying so hard shame to keep the relationship hush hush but with B being popular with the media and the public that is not possible. Well Euphonza boy we hope you’re ready to be in every newspaper coz Ms B attracts all the media attention.
Chomee, tjo Arthur’s asset. Arthur doesn’t want to hear anything about his Chomee. She is mostly in the newspapers. They always write about her dance moves and skimpy clothes. How can I forget, she was reported to be asking for a man in some newspaper. Y’all know how ugly guys love a hot girl mos. I watched them declaring their love for Chomee on LIVE, saying all those words that give me headache like mabhebeza and all. There is also a big rumour about her and abuti Arthur, being a couple like seriously involved, like being in a romantic relationship. They were recently reported to be fighting like cat and dog. Apparently Arthur is not comfortable when Chomee is not next to him.
Dj Sbu number 1 Knox man. He is one of those celebs like Bonang who wouldn’t cry that the media reports only bad things about him. They write about all the good things that this man is doing not forgetting the bad. They even put him on the cover pages for doing good things while other celebs good doings are written about somewhere in the middle of the newspaper. Dj Sbu is the man really. They don’t forget to write about his love life too and him driving with higher speed. Lately he has been famous of being arrested for speeding and he would just be calm about it and say so many apologises every time he appears on TV. He would even get interviews just talk about this, Sbu talking about strategy bhuti lol. His relationship with Tsotsi star Terry Pheto was recently in the papers too but now it’s all quite and we are not seeing them hand in hand lately. I wonder what’s happening there and he said on Flash, he’s single.
Kelly Khumalo. Hayike lo she got more famous by letting the world know she is a virgin. Then we saw her getting engaged for two minutes on All You need is Love with her boyfriend, Nathi before the fame (BTW that guy is HOT) . After that she decided to flash her body to the public by doing her dance moves showing all her private parts. She got engaged to Prosper Mkwaiwa whom I think wanted fame by using her. And he got it because many people who didn’t know him like me know him now. They even opened a company together then part ways, eish some man have strategy bathong. She is now an actress on one of SA’s loved soapies Rhythm City as Sunay. Many think she is acting herself there that’s why she cracks that character very well. It wasn’t long after she was reported to being in romantic relationship with some mlungu who is one of the executive producers of Rhythm City this is after she was reported to be dating former LIVE presenter/producer Andile Ncube.
Khanyi Mbau, oh gosh where do I start? There are so so so many stories about this woman but there’s little that she does in the entertainment industry. I think she makes sure she attends every party in town where its sure thing journalist and their pens will be there. They write every little thing about Miss Mbau. They write mostly about her marriage and what’s happening in her house with her husband or should I say ex-husband, dunno. I don’t even want to get into it. She is known of being the Queen of Bling. She brags a lot about her fabulous life. Recent stories about her are that she is broke, manless and has a new show coming up on DSTV. I saw her last night on Muvhango playing Doobsie but I thought it was going to Khabo after what I saw in some mag. She didn’t do it for me. I just saw more of Khanyi than Doobsie as I was watching Muvhango. She didn’t crack that character at all for me. And her acting was so no up to scratch I hope she disappears quickly on Muvhango or I will stop doing them a favour by watching it.
Arthur Mafokate, the king of kwaito himself. Has been and is always on the newspapers even today while most people say uphelelwe. Most artist when they are phelelwe you don’t even see their faces on newspapers anymore like Mapaputsi, Mdu etc. When we see them it’s when they are sick about to die and asking us for donations. But abuti Arthur is still all over the media. They write about her and Chomee, about her previous relationship with Queen and his dancers who are always complaining about him. Sometimes he likes picking up fights. He was once reported to be chucked out with his dancer by Dj Sbu in their TS Records pre SAMA party at Sun City. When Arthur decided to paint the entire place with his dancers who were wearing T-shirts branded 999. Then he stole Dj Cleo’s hit song Ndihamba Nawe and decided to do a little twist on it but still sounded like Cleo’s Ndihamba Nawe. They even went to some Wits’ Professor for this lol Arthur mara haikhona bhuti.
Deborah Fraser, gosh were do I start ayi the stories about this gospel diva are shocking ngempela that you even ask yourself why is she talking about these things on papers bathong. The horrible stories about her and her ex husband are the highlight of all the stories I’ve heard about her. I am not even going to divulge about those stories sigh. I read somewhere that publications with this woman on cover sell like hot cakes because people love her and her music. I also love this gospel diva uyay’shaya uAus.
Lundi Tyamara lol. I had to laugh first. This gu/ay is one of those gospel artists you just wonder why he chose to sing gospel in the first place. But he said it on LIVE that his voice is for gospel. The stories about him are not the kind of stories many people would love to hear about a gospel artist. He is associated with booze, drugs, night club, being gay and all. He was reported in some newspaper saying he is gay. Late last year he was reported to be supplying his younger boyfriend from Cape Town with money to do up and down from Cape Town to Jozi like he’s paying R3 to go to the next township. To make us forget about that he was then reported to be paying lobola for his wife to be, mind you it’s a she, akamuhle neze umuntu wakhona. Recently they have reported some positive things about him for a change. They said he is doing some charity work giving whatever he’s giving to some old people. And he like crying when whe he is singing and I would be like 'dude can you stop crying and sing ingoma le'.
