ZAlebs Sunday Roundup

Happy Sunday to you all. Hopefully people are excited for work, having shaken off that annoying hangover earned on Saturday night (Unless Friday night was that incredible!) 

What better way to round off your weekend than a recap of some of the biggest stories, brought to you all in one place by ZAlebs? The only thing I could imagine better is a monkey butler bringing you your iPad with the Zalebs Sunday Roundup and a chocolate Milkshake on the side. A man can dream, right? 

We'll kick things off with Barbie Brazil who says that she is no pushover. Barbie, who's real name is Ennie Thembi Tshabalala, is in a bit of trouble after she decided to register the name "The Real Housewives of South Africa" for a potential South African version of the popular show.  However, American cable giants NBC have been in touch with Brazil, claiming that she has no right to be using the 'Real Housewives of...' Brand as it is an American entity belonging to NBC.

Barbie responded by saying: "I'm no pushover, unless you want me to walk over you in my stilettos. I'm sick and tired of Americans coming here and bullying us."

I'm no legal expert, but I don't think NBC would waste their time enforcing legal standards halfway across the world if they didn't have full rights over the name. As enthusiastic as Barbie is about this show, I sincerely hope she's done her research and that she has the legal weight to back up her brand, as this is a show I'm sure many around the country would love to see. 

It should be entertaining and I'm going to keep an eye on this saga to see how it ends up! 

Staying in America, Justin Bieber is once again a talking point after he took two girls to his hotel room this weekend. The singer was seen showing off expensive jewelry and flaunting his lavish lifestyle in a New York Club before heading home with 2 gorgeous young ladies. 

All I have to say is that it's about damn time he started cashing in on his popularity with the female gender. Whether you like his music or not, 90% of all men would have 'Cashed in' sooner anyways. Good on you Bieber. 

What else? Apparently there was a MASSIVE YDE sale in the Western Cape. So massive that people were injuring themselves as well as others in attempts to get their hands on R99 products. Ironically enough I was in a YDE store close to my home yesterday, just to see if there's anything I could ever afford there (Surprisingly there was; but that’s for another day!) 

I've never been the kind of person to wait in big lines for exclusive products. When all my friends were crowding around Exclusive Books for the final Harry Potter novel, I simply pre-booked my copy at my local Pick n Pay and headed over there at 7am the following morning, unrivalled and uninjured. Likewise, I would never be caught dead trying to compete with wild-shoppers at ANY store (And judging by this status last year, I have good reason too!). I don't judge many people, and I won't judge anyone who was at the store. Instead, I will watch the tweets roll in and laugh to myself. And then head over to my local Woolies tomorrow for a pair of Pink PJ pants. That's all my wardrobe really needs. 

Lastly, Paris Hilton says she "Can't Wait for Parenthood" I think the rest of the world will do the waiting for you, Paris. 

We have lots of exciting content coming up on Zalebs this week, including build up to the You Spectacular Awards, MiCasa tickets, exclusive interviews, and more of the finest entertainment news in Mzansi. Don't miss any of it!
