Whoa! Boity Thulo teams up with Previdar for sizzling new shoot!

Boity Thulo is finishing off this year with a BANG!

Just these past few months, baby girl  has partnered with a fashion brand for her very own clothing line, spilled the deets on her romance with one of South Africa's top rappers and managed to stay on top of her game.

I couldn't think of a more fabulous way for the South African TV personality to close off the year than with this fabulous spread in PREVIDAR magazine. You have to see these pics, beautiful BEAUTIFUL work.

#GINKGOWOOD | COVER: Boitumelo Thulo | Couture lace jacket – Warrick Gautier for Jenni Button | Makeup – Vuyo Varoyi | Styled by Fearless Afrika | Hair – Candi & Co | Directed & Photographed by Lawrence Manyapelo

For this shoot, alcohol brand Brutal partnered with PREVIDAR "on all access journey to party into #Ginkgowood"- this shoot is a celebration of the Brutal Fruit's latest range, Litchi Ginkgo

Check out the pics and interview highlights below:


What has the industry taught you about who you don’t want to be?“There is so much ruthless negativity in this industry that if I contributed in any way towards it, I would truly feel like I have failed my family and myself.”


You’ve been named the next “IT” girl to have her own LEGIT range, getting that phone call must have been life changing – what were you thinking when you heard?
"You know the ego always finds a way to make you feel unworthy of the things you deserve. So the moment I received the news, my mind was flooded with doubts and questions of whether I was ready and if they were sure, but far beyond that I just said a silent prayer in my heart and thanked God. I was like FINALLY! lol! I could not be more grateful. This position is a true privilege.”

We’ve observed how you handle negativity on social and the like – you don’t’ seem to let it in your space at all. Dating within the HipHop industry where responses are almost always expected, do you expect your man to handle hate the same way that you do?

“My partner is his own person. He is a grown human being and the same way I wouldn’t want someone to dictate how I react to certain things, I wouldn’t do the same to him. However, I do advise him from time to time and he genuinely listens. I love that about him. He is so opened minded, always willing to learn and take advice. I don’t expect him to react the way I do because it’s a different space but there are times where I step on when I feel like he can or could’ve made a better decision.”



She looks amazing! WERQ Read the rest of the interview here

VIDEO: Trevor Noah on the Ellen Show


If there's anyone who won 2014 with a landslide victory - it's for sure Trevor Noah!


After nabbing the much coveted position of the new Daily Show host, it seems Trevor is pretty much a Hollywood A-lister now.

Just this afternoon the South African comic appeared on the Ellen Show and his interview was cute, funny and interesting. Check out the highlights from his interview:

On growing up in South Africa: 
"I think I grew up normally and then I go home to visit my grandmother and then I remember we had an outdoor toilet. And then I'm, like, "Oh, yeah. Seemed like a lot more fun when I was a kid"

On being a mixed race child during the apartheid era: 
 "My mom couldn't hold my hand in public. so I just thought this is what, like, moms do. I didn't know--I had no other references to other moms, so I wasn't like, "Why is she not holding my hand?" I was just like, "She's independent, she's cool. Just--that's what she does, you know?"

Interesting right? Peep the video below:

After 2 years of marriage, Halle Berry & Olivier Martinez are divorcing



This is such a bummer, awww Halle!!

In a joint statement to People Magazine Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez announced that they are calling it quits after two years of marriage.

"It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce. We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period."

 A source tells PEOPLE that the relationship had "run its course," adding: "They are keeping it amicable now. She is okay."
The 49-year-old actress filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

 “They have a personality difference,” a source said about their relationship. Word on the street is - the straw that broke the camel's back was when when Olivier hit a man with a car seat at the airport earlier this year. He has some temper right? Remember when he whooped the sh*t out of Halle's baby daddy Gabriel Aubry?

 Olivier and Halle have one son together named Maceo, 2 and they allegedly have a prenup in place so money, etc. will not be an issue. Halle is not asking for joint or primary custody, as she wants what is in “the best interests of the child.”

Quote of the day - Serena Williams

"Daring to me is taking a chance but not doing it blindly. A very calculated chance. Think of amazing women like Sheryl Sandberg and Oprah Winfrey—they're daring, but they're not jumping off a building without a parachute, you know? You have to be smart about it. You can't be afraid to be a pioneer and take a chance and speak up and just be bold." - Serena Williams #BeBold

I love her Afro! In an interview with I.D Magazine she spoke about how she's helped to shape the industry's view of black female beauty

 "I didn't expect this impact, I am just Lineisy Montero, a young girl from Santo Domingo. My hair has never been a question, it's always been natural. I didn't do anything special except walking in the shows. I see now that is a big thing for the fashion industry so I am of proud of it. If it changes the mentality in the business for models like me I would be very happy."

In an interview with Teen Vogue she revealed how her grandmother stopped her from quitting modeling:

  "My grandmother told me not to doubt myself. She quoted this Bible passage: 'I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.' If I hadn't listened to her, I wouldn't be where I am. So I just kept repeating it in my head. That, for me, was the turning point. After that I had no problem."

Why I'm obsessed with Janelle Monae's Paris Fashion Week Outfits

Singer Janelle Monae has become synonymous with her signature attire - she is one person we can count on for on point black and white ensembles. 

More recently, she's been switching things up, giving us something a little different even with the same color aesthetic. 

Suffice to say, I am more than impressed Janelle Monae Part Duex. The "Yoga" singer has been killing it at Paris Fashion Week. She spoke to Vogue about her recent fashion journey, going from wearing menswear tuxes to fitted frocks with ruffles saying:

 "Style is all about evolution. When I pick clothes I see no gender. Of course as I grow as an artist, as a woman, as a record label owner, and fashion enthusiast I embrace new and different ways to express myself. The change in style isn’t really a change—it’s just growing, evolving."

I've rounded up her best moments from #PFW thus far, check out the images below and let me know which one is your fave!

Video: Usain Bolt meets young Jamaican trainer "Me No Do Weakness" on the Ellen show

This made me smile!

Usain Bolt maybe known as the fastest man on earth but today he lost a race to an 8 year old boy. Yep you heard right, a child took the champ down :)


Remember the viral clip of the young Jamaican trainer Demarjay, whose video caught our attention a few weeks ago. You can check it out here and it's clear that Mr. "Strength No Weakness" means serious business.


In the interview with Ellen Demarjay says does 90 push-ups a day and he started exercising so he doesn't get bullied. He told the talk show host "like you see on the TV I have to be fit and strong"

So where does he get the motivation to tell people to be strong? "Well it's just who I am"

So cute! Peep the video below of his charming chatfest with Ellen.

Quote of the day- Oprah Winfrey

"Ignoring your passion is like dying a slow death. Your life is speaking to you every day, all the time -- and your job is to listen up and find the clues. Passion whispers to you through your feelings, beckoning you towards your highest good. Pay attention to what makes you feel energized, connected, stimulated -- what gives you your juice. Do what you love, give it back in the form of service, and you will do more than succeed." - @oprah
