Such cutie matooties! Scarlett was auditioning for Jumanji (she didn’t get the part) and Natalie for The Professional.
So there are only three scenes in this video and that bit at the end is a little gratuitous but there’s something about LDR that makes me pre-load her videos and make sure my earphones are plugged in before I watch or listen to her stuff. This is her new video Born to Die. It reminds me of where Lady Gaga was at with her Just Dance video. Like she maybe just went a little ‘full retard’ with the hick thing, but with a little experience I reckon this lady’s work will just get better.
Facebook’s Sean Parker’s got 99 problems. He feels like he ‘doesn’t get taken seriously’. Plus he’s got this albatross of a partyboy reputation he has to live up to that is all Justin Timberlake’s fault. His house got trashed by a party he threw that involved 100 000 bottles of Cristal. When he googles himself, he finds people calling him a jerk. And someone once asked him to leave a party. Basically, Sean Parker hates his life because he’s a terrible miserable-billionaire cliche. Hilaire. Read on at gawker.
I love these guys! So SAfrican but they also pull off such a universal feel. Plus I’ve had Schizo on my workout playlist for MONTHS so I’m so glad they made a video. The plot is super fun – they kidnap and torture themselves. Such slick production with that fantastic sense of humour so few bands in Cape Town possess. Enjoy!
More on Tamara Mellon’s sudden (and mysterious) resignation from Jimmy Choo.
Att girl moguls: the top spot at Jimmy Choo is open! The socialite who messed over an immigrant for his talent and name and then bought him out and ruthlessly became head of one of the biggest luxury shoe brands in the world has stepped down, after JC was sold to a big luxury brands group earlier this year. Not surprising. Time to spend a bit of time ‘reflecting on her success’ on a desert island, I’m sure. Have you read the Jimmy Choo Story? It’s a fascinating book for any of you looking to get into the fashion industry. Basically, if you want to succeed you need to find someone talented and clueless (like Jimmy Choo) that you can ride off, and then you need to find someone beautiful and famous (like Princess Diana) who’s unofficial endorsement you can exploit and BAM! You’re it!
As someone famous once said:
“All’s fair in love and fashion as long as you have a nice logo and hot ppl modelling ur shizz.”

There aren’t many comediennes out there but Whitney Cummings has become funny and funnier lately. Loved this skit where she talks about why she hates porn. This ‘crazy bitches’ skit about how kray-kray some girls are also brings the lols. We’ve all seen it a thousand times!
That’s me and MEJ at the Loerie Awards Marie Claire Winner’s after party at Reserve. What is the Loerie Awards, you ask? It’s when a whole bunch of people who spend all year surfing youtube and tweeting about their hangovers get together to drink a lot and clap hands for work made by other youtube-surfers and then tweet about their hangovers. Don’t let that detract from the prestigious nature of this event – it is ‘Africa’s premiere advertising awards show’ after all. And it was good fun. First night was hosted by Riaan Cruywagen, the newsguy who’s been around forever.
And last night was hosted by The Hoff. As in David Hasselfhoff himself. Yes.. he arrived on stage in a sparkly jacket singing along to the Baywatch theme (don’t you worry… it’s gonna be alright..) and proceeded to crack a lot of Hoff jokes. He also referred to himself as ‘the ultimate integrated campaign’… fair enough. He also made a lot of jokes about sleeping with a lot of women, which always makes a man look like he wants to you think he’s slept with a lot of women, which makes him a) a bit ew (promiscuity is so 70s) and b) appear a little insecure. No matter! He made up for it by bursting into a rousing rendition of Hooked On A Feeling while he walked down the CTICC auditorium, carrying a baywatch lifebuoy, with seven strippers in catsuits gyrating around him.
All in all, it was good fun. Oh, and some people won some awards. Read more here.
Meet my Cali BFF Lana del Ray. She used to be ‘all indie and shizz’ and call herself ‘Lizzy Grant’ and she ‘walked on the emo side’, then she realised there was more fun to be had if she made herself ‘a little more accessible’ (by putting on a nice dress and doing her hair and smiling and looking like she didn’t take life too seriously, even if her music does).
LDL also got collagen in her lips, which may be because then we’d all laugh at her for getting collagen in her lips and see her ‘human and deeply imperfect’ side, or maybe she thought we’d like them. Am not phased either way cos I really like her music, especially her music video for Video Games. She reminds me of when I used to live in a David Lynch movie and used to hang out in the muggy summer air in California and drink martinis and sneak into hotels and get chased by paparazzi. Those were the days. Watch:
