Read all about their backstory below. Following on from their hugely successful SA tour in December 2006 and the incredible response from radio to their previous single, “London Out There”, Dorp return to South Africa in August of this year for 8 date tour and video shoot AND to release their latest single , “Simon Says’. “As Kevin and I are from SA, we always like to return as much as we can,” commented lead singer Piet Bez, “But nowadays its also a business pleasure. We are so pleased that the South African music public has taken to our new music so well, and its great to play to a home town crowd. The best part is that our French DJ and English drummer also absolutely love it!” The tour stretches from Oppikoppi in the North, to Cape Town, back to Durban and returns to Johannesburg before August is out. The band will also be taking time out to shoot a new music video and the public is warned to listen out for the new single, Simon Says from their forthcoming album, on radio stations countrywide.

We’ve already heard the track on YFM and seen his video on late night TV – we hope you’re loving his sultry style as much as we are… Hear his latest single “Can U Believe” here – ooooh we love that cheesy opening.

Mo’nique gives Paris a FAT Chance
While we’re on the topic of new TV shows, and rather than focus on the dreary ‘real world’ on this balmy Mon morn’, let’s amuse ourselves with larger than life comedian and actress Mo’nique and her new reality show FAT CHANCE taking place in Paris. We love it. A bunch of buxom ladies get to hang out and just be their fabulous voluptuous selves with Mo’nique in the French capital, telling their backstories, sharing their lives and celebrating being plus sized . Ultimately the ladies are competing for the title of “Miss F.A.T” , the show features them learning how to strut their booty with the goal of winning the “FAT” beauty pageant. Nice change. Mo’nique’s star continues to rise as her natural talent and exceptional goedspa see her diversifying into all kinds of ventures: “Mo’Nique has become a role model for voluptuous women everywhere, proving that you don’t have to be a size 0 to be sexy and fabulous. Her musings on life are featured in the best-selling book entitled Skinny Women are Evil published by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. Released in April 2003, the book quickly became a New York Times bestseller. She recently released with co-author Sherri McGee McCovey a follow-up called Skinny Cooks Can’t Be Trusted for Amistad Press, a division of HarperCollins. In addition to Mo’Nique’s F.A.T. Chance: Paris, Mo’Nique is currently hosting the VH1 hit Charm School. Recently Mo’Nique’s stand up comedy special I Coulda Been Your Cellmate aired on Showtime Television. The special was also released on DVD by Salient Media. Mo’Nique is currently shooting the feature film The Better Man opposite Martin Lawrence. ” Check out the show here and search YouTube for clips from the last few...
Represent Ayeye! Calling all strippers
Die groot krokodil and all other conservatives of our gagged past must be spinning in their graves as freedom of speech and the right to choose how you live your life spreads as far as a reality stripping show on TV and on M-Net nogal. Tannies country-wide (and lots of others) will be horrified. Ingeniously, STRIPTEASE, will feature SA’s very own “wannabe Hugh Hefner”, Lolly Jackson, who alone will attract hordes of viewers wanting a close-up of this notorious player. The show kicks off in September but auditions start next week. Ayeye!Positioned as “sensual” yet “classy” we do wonder what the trajectory of this show will be in a country where women’s rights and sexual violence and abuse is always top of mind. We wait and see. New local reality show for M-Net’s actionX – Stripdance your way to the top Reality show fever is running high on DStv. Come August, M-Net will bring you Idols, Survivor SA: Malaysia and Big Brother Africa. Now M-Net’s actionX, channel 6 on DStv, also gets its own local reality show. Get ready for Stripteaze, a late-night, sensual yet classy reality show in which South Africa’s best male and female strippers will strut their stuff to get your vote. Stripteaze is actionX’s very first locally-produced programme and will be on air from 1 September on Saturdays at 23:00. “It’s a giant leap forward for actionX to produce local content and we trust that Stripteaze will attract a lot of viewers to our channel,” says Tracey Nissenbaum, actionX’s Head of Programming. “Up to now actionX has brimmed with action-packed, fast-paced international shows and movies geared at an “older” audience. Our first local reality show, Stripteaze, fits perfectly into this mix.” Auditions for Stripteaze will start soon. The competition is open to anybody between 18 and 35 years of age and includes amateur and professional dancers. Stripteaze performances are theme based, and the performers will only strip down to their g-strings. Auditions will take place at Teazers branches across South Africa. Forty girls and twenty guys will be chosen from the audition phases to compete in the first round of the competition. Each week, viewers at home will then vote for their favourite performers via SMS. The male and female performers with the most votes will then advance to the next round, after which they will compete for a place in the finals. The winners will receive prizes to the value of R300 000. The winning Male Dancer will ride home on a Ducati motorcycle, while the best Female Dancer will get her booty into a brand new sporty1.4 VW Golf. The viewers at home are the judges and only they will decide...
