So we’ve managed to get extra info on this Clifton Shores project and it looks like (thankfully) the promo that was spotted online was shot over 17 months ago and was supposed to be seen as a call for castings when the show was casting over a year ago. I’m told that the current show […]

24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 9 Comments
After winning the award for best show in its category, you’d think M-Net would buy All Access a swish advertising billboard next to the N1, urging us all to watch this “award winning show!”. Instead rumours are surfacing that All Access and its demographically-flawed presenters might be cut.

Toll Roads Inevitable For Cape Town
23 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
As a born and bred Joburger, this headline tastes like sweet justice. Looks like Jozi isn’t the only city that’s going to be klapped by the new tolling system. Capetonians are in for it too. See, that’s karma for you, you can’t have that mountain and stunning city without some repercussions.

This was one of the remarks made by Trevor when he addressed a press briefing relating to the acid mine water drainage situation around jozi.

If you’ve been charged with rape, it’s best that you don’t post on your Facebook profile that you need a hitman, ASAP, to help sort out the victim of your alleged crime. It’s especially a bad idea if that person can see your Facebook page.

10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Look, no company is without it’s awkward infant stages, but TopTV is starting to abuse that privilege. When they launched last year no one answered the phone at their call centre. Then all their customers received an unscrambled TV signal – even the ones who didn’t pay their subscriptions.
