If you enjoy Kuli Roberts and Trevor Gumbi’s Headlines on Mzansi Magic, All Access, or the gossip in the Sunday newspapers, then you’ll be happy to know that Vuzu has another entertainment news show to top them all.
No offence to Lala and Scoop’s V-Entertainment, but 10 Over 10 is set to leave no stone unturned and promises no hero-worshipping or holy cows. Every celebrity is fair game. To put the cherry on top, the subjects under scrutiny are none other than our own celebrities.
So, no, you will not see Lady Gaga on the show stealing Somizi’s spotlight. The pool of celebrities selected are our own A-listers and we will see them in six ways.
First there will be the Celebs on Twitter: The Good, The Bad, The Outrageous. You know who inspired this category. Let’s not mention any names, but 10 Over 10 will look at who’s been saying what because, let’s face it, PR people have been sidelined a bit since celebrities discovered the joy of Twitter. No matter what time you log in, some self-promoting bimbo is saying something about how great their product is and so on.
Then there are the sucking-up relationships, from one celeb to the next, which are posted in the open for all to see.
Then you get the “twars”. Yes, “twar” is a word in the Twitter universe, and it refers to a war of words. This part most will enjoy because things often pass us by.
The next category is the Sexiest Beach Bodies (Female), ahem. TV presenter and model Bonang Matheba and the rest will feature here. When they say “beach body”, here’s hoping that they mean bikinis. Let’s face it, there are a few celeb gals who could be on calendars.
As they say on Twitter, there will be #thatawkwardmoment# when you think you belong in this category and they don’t pick you. Some people love their food more than others.
I think I will enjoy the Celebrity Hook Ups and Break Ups section because SA celebs rarely share anything about their relationships. You will hear about it only by chance, or when it’s over.
There is also the Sporting Star Scandals/Bad Boys of Sports, which is a great idea because those boys are always in the papers. If you are a soccer fan you already know the contenders and their off-the-pitch moemish activities.
While the Most Stylish Female Celebs is a good idea as a category, I fear 13 episodes is too many to get people who really dress up. Don’t get me wrong, we have stylish women, but after two or three obvious choices – the usual magazine cover faces – can we say the rest really make the cut?
Women might want to tune in for the Sexiest Beach Bodies (Male) and cross their fingers they find some. Okay, so we can’t predict this one and include Sizwe Dlomo and Kabelo (I almost typed Khapela – from Generations – who is a big no-no), then who else? Truth be said, very few guys in the entertainment industry bother to jog, let alone join a gym, so this should be interesting, too.
The one thing that beats any show you have seen that is included here is there are no presenters, but there will be voice-overs from various people in the entertainment industry who will include Trevor Noah, Shashi Naidoo, Lelo Boyana and Slikour and more.
The entertainment landscape will never be the same again.
• 10 Over 10 starts on February 15 at 7.30pm on Vuzu.
