			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Tiger Woods hiding out in South Africa? It was reported earlier this week in Die Burger that sources close to Tiger Woods said that he left the media glare in America and headed off to a friends estate in Africa.</p>
<p>What better place to kick it back away from the paparazzi than at a wine estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa considering that golfer friends Ernie Else and Johann Rupert both have wine estates in the region. To further reinforce the rumors that Tiger Woods was spotted in Stellenbosch, South Africa is student and part time waitron Dinkle Verwey.</p>
<p>“I am sure it could have been Tiger Woods sitting in the corner the other day eating a muffin and drinking rooibos tea,” Dinkle said. “He had a cap on his head and was wearing a T-shirt that read ’14 Down, More to Go’, but at first I did not think it could be him. But when he looked up at me to ask for the bill, there was something about him. At first I thought he was just a normal Cape Coloured as his lips were big. But then I saw his eyes, which were a bit skew. I Googled when I got home, and yes, I am sure it was him. He paid cash, so I did not get chance to see his credit card.”</p>
<p>Expect to see papz cruising the winelands town in search for Tiger Woods.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you that watched the rugby match between France and the South African Springboks, would remember the rastafarian guy that sang the South African National Anthem. Ras Dumisani the guy that sang the National Anthem at Fridays clash between the Springboks and France really screwed it up.</p>
<p>If you did not catch it here it is.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AxAc6O_WBFE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AxAc6O_WBFE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Apparently Ras Dumisani was chosen by the South African Embassy in France to sing the South African National Anthem &#8220;NKosi Sikelel&#8217; iAfrica&#8221;. All I can say is that for one that Ras Dumisani is not proudly South African and he really did screw up the song big time. For an experienced Springbok side the way the National Anthem was sung doesn&#8217;t portray it well.</p>
<p>I really hope that in the future these kind of humility can be avoided, as I feel very humiliated to be South African by the way this guy sang our National Anthem.</p>
<p>Ras Dumisani apparently apologised blaming his bad performance on a old microphone and monitor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-404" title="Hugh Hefner Playboy Mogul" src="http://www.igeek.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Hugh_Hefner.jpg" alt="Hugh Hefner Playboy Mogul" width="209" height="209" />Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner is filing for a devorce from his wife of twenty years, Kimberly Conrad.</p>
<p>Hugh Hefner and Kimberly Conrad were married in 1998 but have been estranged for the past 11 years. Hefner claims that he stayed married for the sake of his children that are now both in College.</p>
<p>The devorce came after Hefner decided to sell their Holmby Hills mansion, where Conrad raised the two children. This caused Conrad to file for a $5-million lawsuit agains Hefner.</p>
<p>What is realy interesting is that Hefner is claiming that Conrad cheated on him early in their relationship, while it should be notead that Hefner himself has had a disdain of monogamy.</p>
<p>I guess little people knew that Hefner was infact still married, as the lifestyle portrayed in Girls of the Playboy Mansion showed us otherwise. Shows us that everybody has a skelleton hidden in their closset somewhere that nobody knows of or has forgotten.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ozzy Osbourne&#8217;s dog has been killed and eaten by a coyote.</p>
<p>The 60-year-old rocker is &#8220;devastated&#8221; his beloved pet &#8211; a Pomeranian named Little Bit &#8211; was attacked by the wild animal at their Los Angeles mansion on Tuesday, while Ozzy and his wife Sharon watched Michael Jackson&#8217;s memorial on TV.</p>
<p>Daughter Kelly wrote on her Twitter account: &#8220;My dad&#8217;s dog Little Bit was eaten by a coyete last night in LA and he is<br />
devastated. She was his other women (sic)!&#8221;</p>
<p>The couple were so engrossed in the lengthy ceremony &#8211; which included performances by Stevie Wonder and Mariah Carey &#8211; they couldn&#8217;t hear the pooch&#8217;s barks for help.</p>
<p>Friends of the veteran Black Sabbath singer have joked the attack was revenge for Ozzy&#8217;s mistreatment of animals in his younger days.</p>
<p>The wild rocker infamously once bit the head off a dove and chewed off the head of a bat thrown to him while he was performing on stage.</p>
<p>One pal said: &#8220;Maybe the coyote was friends with the dove&#8217;s family? So many people are linked in Hollywood. Whatever<br />
the case it&#8217;s still Ozzy two, animal kingdom one!&#8221;</p>
<p>Little Bit had been with the couple since she was a puppy, when they rescued her from mistreatment at a puppy ranch.</p>
<p>Ozzy recently claimed he and Sharon have 18 dogs, all of which have been rescued from the local stray dog shelter.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;We get them from the pound now. When I get home it&#8217;s like I&#8217;ve got four new dogs.&#8221;<br />
Sharon added: &#8220;Word&#8217;s got out in Los Angeles, &#8216;Anybody who finds a stray dog, call the Osbournes, they&#8217;ll take it!&#8221;</p>
