Kelly deserves a good time

SO, EVERYONE had tongues wagging when Kelly Khumalo showed her face without any bags under her eyes at this year's Feather Awards Wednesday night.

Opinions ranged from why she's still not slumped on a mattress somewhere crying her eyes out, to how she is a "straatmeid [loose street woman]" who couldn't let a drinking fest like the Feathers pass her. Oh put a sock in it South Africa!

Madi has a theory.

After it has recently emerged that Senzo has yet another baby mama, if you were Miss Kelly, wouldn't you be furious?

Imagine the smell of rotten egg on her face after proclaiming to the Instagram world how much Senzo loved her, and how he was her soul mate, toothy selfies and all - only to discover that he had been cheating on her all along.

For most women, they can still forgive a cheater. But cheating and leaving evidence of it with a crying brat is another thing.

Heck, I'd also put on a face of make-up and a gorgeous dress and go dancing! So what if the elders regurgitate on their tea about my isinyama?

He's dead, and you can't exactly give him a warm klaap for cheating on you.

I say kudos to Kelly. After all the slack we've given her about being a home wrecker, she deserves happiness.

Men though!

Quick one: Has anyone laid eyes on the "reality" show featuring Trevor Gumbi, Tall Ass Mo and Maps Maponyane, called The real Jozi A-listers?

Yoh! Worst thing Madi has seen since Khaphela and Sarah shared a kiss on Generubbish.

Let's move along. e.tv invited Madi to a preview of their upcoming summer shows at Urban Tree in Sandton.

Gorgeous setup, Madi was impressed.

What wasn't impressive was Grace Mahlaba's hair mess.

Remember when she played Mapholo in Bophelo ke Semphekgo, and was dating some ghastly taxi driver? Hilarious.

Anyway Sis' Grace, please do something about that hairline, pronto, or is the stress of your baby daddy Vusi Kunene refusing to cough up maintenance affecting your hair follicles?

Madi bumped into Rhythm City actress Nokuthula Ledwaba, who irritated me when she gloated about wearing a Thula Sindi dress. Girl, was that rag Thula's?

Are you sure? Madi just saw something that could accompany Mr Min to dust her TV stand.

Guess who was MC?

Bonnie Henna. The shocker came when she gracefully accepted to have her picture taken.

How the mighty have fallen. Madi remembers a time when she'd flat out refuse to be photographed. Being broke and divorced has a way of giving people directions to the nearest bakery to buy humble pie, I see.

Paledi Segapo did it. Somizi Mhlongo has done it too. Siphiwe Mtshali, there's no reason why you are still walking around with that Lunch bar face.

Do you want Madi to ask them for their amazing dermatologists' numbers on your behalf?

Madi bumped into Liopelo Maphathe, who Madi pegs as the worst actress alive.

She looked so cute though. Madi loved the Marabastad dress.

Very spring.

Madi also saw bra Sello Maake Ka Ncube, whose suit was hanging on him like anything Hlubi Mboya wears. Weight loss in progress or marriage woes taking their toll?

Mpharanyana did say: "Nka nako ho mo tseba [take time to know her]."

 

OH HELL NO!

MADI would like to address party monger celebrities.

It's one thing to have a great time at a party, but to gyrate until the bar is closed and the hosts to literally tell you to leave is just classless.

Madi has seen many shlebs hogging on to the last drop in their glasses at many events and completely overstaying their welcome.

Guys, the trick is to mingle, nibble here and there, yawn gracefully and call it a night. It's not a stokfel, it's an event.

Let's have some class. Hope you are listening Nolly Meje.
