Ok, so last week after SA Survivor started making waves in the local media, I used my All Access tricks and snuck in to M-Net. Here's what I can tell you for definite from the corridors of entertainment: of the 350 celebs approached by M-Net, quite a number have said yes, and M-Net is still deliberating who will fill the 12 spots.
Well. What do you make of THAT!?! I really hope they start to give us some names SOON - Rodger needs his Survivor fix I tell ya!
Watch this space for further updates...

Survivor Goss!
Just yesterday I was musing about the new SA celebrity Survivor, and it seems today there's news about a possible contestant!
Miss Khanyisile Mbau herself seems to be of the opinon that she'll be in the new installment of the popular show:
"Good Morning. Back in SA, and will soon be on Savivour South Africa (celeb season).. *excited*"
But is the lady's Tweet to be believed? M-Net says not. When Heat magazine contacted M-Net's publicity department, this is what they had to say:
"We have approached 350 people, but no-one has been confirmed yet". Hmmm, the plot thickens.
Either way, Khanyi was on my list yesterday and I'm totally rooting for her!
Here's hoping we get some news soon - maybe The Only Rodger (ie, moi!) will have to pay a sneak visit to M-net soon. It worked with All Access, why not with Survivor? ;)
Wish me luck...

Pinch me!
I'm dreaming! Not only has one of my favourite realities been announced to return, but it's packed to the brim with all the SA celebs we love to LURVE! Yes, Survivor is set to hit your TV screens early next year.
I'm sooooo excited! They haven't announced yet exactly who the celebs are going to be, but this can only be the start of something FUN. And they're doing it for charity "nogal".
Here's what i've found so far:
"They are used to VIP treatment and basking in the limelight, but how easy will it be for local celebs to completely sacrifice their lifestyles for a good cause? Will these stars succeed in separating themselves from their miracle eye creams, designer clothes, Egyptian cotton, flashy cars, fabulous friends and attention-grabbing gigs? Will they be able to rough it up and execute a devious game-plan for up to a month to become South Africa’s next “Sole Survivor”?"
Read the full release here.
Any votes on who's heading to the island? Here's my dream team:
Heinz Winckler, Bakkies Botha, Khanyi Mbau, Marc Lottering, Julius Malema, Gareth Cliff, Marius Weyers, Steve Hofmeyr, Danny K and Beast Mtawarira. But I'm constantly thinking of more to add.
Who's in yours?

House of (plastic) cards
How sad. Another example of plastic surgery gone (and going) wrong. Rose McGowan was the lovely, if troubled, sister from Charmed, who also happened to date Marilyn Manson (we're *not* judging, remember?) and hobbled around on one leg in Tarantino's Grindhouse - all with an unmistakable sex appeal. Anyway, below is the lovely Miss Gowan from her Charmed days, as we like to remember her, and then Miss Gowan just last week, showing all the signs of a quack who must be sued. So sad.

Ah, wedded bliss
You can't argue with love when it happens spur of the moment. Not even for a pre-nup. Khloe and Lamar's much publicized fiasco wedding has now been finalized after the two parties agreed on a pre-nup that would save Lamar's dosh from Khloe's klutches.
I'm not judging, but read the details here. Did I mention this is all going to be a reality show on E Entertainment? Must have slipped my mind...
