Nine Movie Premiere

2010-03-10T09:39:00.011+02:00

I’m here , I’m there, I'm almost everywhere and on Sunday I was at The Zone in Rosebank where Ster Kinekor and Total Exposure hosted a red carpet evening for Jozi’s elite for the premiere of Nine, a musical film based on the Italian film industry. The event was dubbed an Oscar night as the film itself was nominated in four different categories at this year’s Academy Awards. Although they did not win anything, it’s still a great movie for those who love the arts and more so theatre. Not a star...

Jub Jub in drag racing accident? Five school children dead.

2010-03-09T09:37:00.007+02:00

Kwaito artist and recent 'Survivor South Africa' celebrity contestant Jub Jub was allegedly involved in a drag racing accident in Soweto last night. According to published reports, the singer and his friend were dicing on a two lane road in Soweto. A car in the oncoming lane forced one of the cars that was drag racing to get back into the left lane. The cars that were dicing crashed into each other, spun out of control and hit some high school children, killing 4 on the scene and another one...

MTV Base Turns 5

2010-03-08T12:22:00.009+02:00

The portable CCTV placed itself at Urban Tree in Kramerville on Friday night for MTV Africa’s five year celebration. Despite the rain, the turnout was fairly good, although the big venue had the guests scattered which made it look slightly empty. The opening performance came from Jozi who I’m embarrassed to say, did not keep me from killing my cigarette and rushing for the stage. MC Sizwe Dhlomo did his best to keep us hyped up but it wasn’t until DJ Milkshake hit the decks that the party...

Juice from the SAMA nomination party

2010-03-07T12:50:00.009+02:00

It felt like a sweet sixteen party for most of South Africa’s artists as the MTN SAMA nominees for 2010 were announced at Taboo on Thursday night. It has certainly been an interesting year in terms of the local hit tracks released. New Talent has emerged and some of the old have fined tuned themselves to try and be top musicians. The most popular category, Record of the Year, certainly proves that the standard of music has risen with guys like Big Nuz, The Parlotones, Goldfish, Liquid Deep,...

Lira at the Bank

2010-03-03T19:15:00.005+02:00

I wasn't too sad when I heard that I was missing out on the assignment of chilling with hot models at Latinova on Friday night all because I had an even better opportunity of hearing one of the biggest talents to emerge in South Africa over the last few years. Ladies and gentlemen, Lira IS talent. She performed at The Bank courtesy of Chivas Regal. I went out to look for odd things in an unfamiliar place, much to my disappointment. I saw socialite and hair stylist Nthato Mashishi sporting a...

Jameson Guess Party

2010-03-01T22:13:00.016+02:00

There are a couple of things about me that maybe, perhaps some may view as proof that I am a darkie...well I like nice things and if they are free, hey I’m a guest list away! Guess and Jameson combined the two to entertain Jozi’s party peeps and boy did they do it in style. I soon forgot about the disappointment of not making it to the SAFTAS when I saw the limo ride that was taking us to the party mansion. I was welcomed by hot models that had me wagging my tongue out as if I’d swallowed raw...

A sophisticated night out

2010-03-01T22:03:00.003+02:00

On the 17th of February La Rosa Dance theatre celebrated its 20th anniversary by putting on a production called Viaje Flamenco. As I’ve already been accused of being a liker of things I happily went along, mostly in the hopes of learning a bit of culture but also on the off chance that I’d bump into some hotties like that flamenco dancer Naomi Campbell was seeing a while back. Viaje Flamenco means flamenco journey so the production explained the roots of the sultry Spanish dance by tracing...

Austrian Embassy Parties at Moloko

2010-02-21T11:33:00.009+02:00

When I heard that the Austrian Embassy was throwing a party at Moloko I was sceptical. The invite however painted a different picture and when I entered the club and was welcomed with a glass of vodka and the bull stuff I was like the Austrians must not kid around. I love open bars but why were we served cake and chicken?! I wonder fried...chicken at that. Ja... As usual Tha Hustler had to get acquainted and familiarise himself with the surroundings. Bumped into a few celebs or should I say...

The Hype Awards

2010-02-15T10:57:00.014+02:00

So I broke my awards virginity at the Hype Awards this Friday. Brand new sneakers, shades and short skirts seemed to be the theme for this yellow carpet night in honour of them rappers. A media frenzy evening with about 4 TV crews covering the glitz and glam. I most definitely did not spot much bling except the Queen Of Bling herself Khanyi Mbau. It wasn’t long before she jacked the Ses’khona tv crew mic while they were interviewing Mr Selwyn. Attention she seeks, attention she gets. Besides...

Jozi Movie Premiere

2010-02-14T02:25:00.000+02:00

Producer extraordinaire Anant Singh under his company Videovision Entertainment has teamed up with Tom Pictures to bring us what promises to be another successful homemade comedy. The movie which consists of the crop of local talent is based around a comedy writer who has lost his sense of humour. Carl Beukes plays a lead role in this movie starring as “James”. He is the skinny guy who used to be on Isidingo as Paul and I must say he impressed me a few years ago when I watched him on the...

New Moon Party: Drinks, toffee apples and diva's

2010-02-09T20:41:00.014+02:00

Mimoney and Ster-Kinekor, with the help of Total Exposure, hosted an exclusive party on Friday at the recently revamped Taboo in Sandton. The vampire love film was released in the cinema in November 2009 and Mimoney had a competition running to invite those that bought the movie ticket through them to this party. I felt thrilled as I approached the entrance. I received a VIP tag and was directed to the VIP entrance. I gather the other one was for peasants? Kidding...I soon started walking...

2010-02-04T00:25:00.004+02:00

Ugandan superstar artist Bebe Cool was recently shot a number of times in the thigh by police officers in the country's capital, Kampala. After wrapping up his supporting act at the R. Kelly concert, the artist apparently headed to another popular hangout spot to kick it and was accompanied by his bodyguards. Concrete details of what actually occured are a little sparse, but there are two conflicting stories: the first is by the police, who say that they were trying to arrest an unidentified...

JUCY J&B Met

2010-02-02T17:02:00.022+02:00

In full colour, horse-racing fanatics, betters and socialites filled the Kenilworth race course for the annual J & B Met in the beautiful city of Cape Town. The energy in the air livened up as I made my way across the grass from the grand stands to the hospitality village where South Africa’s glamorous filled the many marquees. The wind was rather unkind and had the ladies pulling quick reflexes to keep dresses down and hats up, thanks to RJK creations (who also dressed Noleen Maholwana ...

JUCY weekend events review

2010-02-01T11:39:00.016+02:00

Friday night marked the launch of the Jameson Golden Room at Inc the Club. I could have sworn the invite said by invitation only and as part of the Inc Exec’s I RSVP’d only to find my name was not on the guest list. Hustler that I am, I managed to get a stamp in to see what the fuss was all about. The Gold Room was set up at the infamous MIP lounge which was decorated with the sponsor banners and models dressed in white with hands on their hips. Thanks to my stamp situation I could not get into...

David Tlale's pre show prep!

2010-01-26T09:30:00.001+02:00

Audi Fashion week took place in Johannesburg last week Thursday. One of the most highly anticipated shows was fashion darling David Tlale's show. Invite only, cloaked in secrecy, security and a mood of anticipation the show promised to be one of his best yet. We went to David's studio before fashion week to get a sneak peek of what the designer had in store. The garments were beautifully constructed, they looked like art pieces: Here is a peep from the men's range: Hey Dennis : Matthew...
