5FM, Smirnoff and H2O party 'City to City'

The H2O party wave makes its debut in Durban as South Africa's leading party brand joins forces with popular radio station, 5FM, and Smirnoff alco-pop brands, Storm and Spin, to unite local partygoers in a first-ever live, interactive 'City-To-City' dance experience.

For more than a decade, bi-annual dance music mega-fest, H2O, has consistently rocked the African party landscape with overwhelming success. Ultra slick, always executed at full throttle and synonymous with sunshine, superlative music and unbeatable good times, the H2O juggernaut seems unstoppable!

And now, for the first time in South African party history one city will party with another! This March, H2O will take place on the same day, at the same time, in both Durban and Johannesburg! Massive LED screens set up at respective venues in both cities will facilitate a live visual feed from one event to the other, thereby creating an amazing real-time, two-way party spectacular!

On Saturday, 5March, H2O City-To-City powered by 5FM will touch down simultaneously at the Wavehouse at the Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga and the Wild Waters Complex in Boksburg, Johannesburg; headlined by International DJ, Marcel Woods, and popular 5FM radio jocks, DJ Fresh, Sasha Martinengo, Euphonik, Roger Goode, Erica Elle, Mlu, Milkshake and C-Live

Hailing from Amsterdam, Marcel Woods has spent his career forging his own path, leapfrogging stereotypes and diminishing musical barriers. A studio powerhouse on many levels, Marcel's mind-blowing mix of raw and energetic dance music has seen dancefloors and festivals fall before him in swift succession. Global Gathering, Mysteryland, Dance Valley, Trance Energy, Gatecrasher Summer Sound System, Escape Into The Park, Planet Love and Sanctuary in just one summer run. And to top that, 2008 saw him become the only DJ ever to play the Sensation White AND Black parties in the same season. Forget boxes and pigeon-holes, you'd need a cage to prevent Marcel Woods from setting the H2O City-To-City dancefloors on FIRE!

5FM's Roger Goode will be broadcasting the station's Saturday Surgery show live from three different dancefloors at the H2O Durban event. Catch Roger on the Main Floor at 7pm then on the Hip Hop Floor with 5FM's Milkshake at 8pm and finally on the Funky Floor with Coco Loco at 9pm. All happening live on 5FM!

H2O's day-long City-To-City reality dance party experience commences at 11am, so head out early to be part of history in the making.

Early bird tickets are on sale now from Computicket. Standard, VIP and V-VIP tickets will also be available for purchase from the usual outlets.

"Drake to Join Al Pacino in Arbitrage(The Movie)"

Drake is close to star opposite high-profile actors in "Arbitrage". He is reportedly in talks to join Al Pacino, Eva Green and Susan Sarandon as the cast member of the indie movie, which is written and will be directed by Nicholas Jarecki. TheWrap, however, does not mention his role.

The film centers its story on "a hedge fund magnate who is in over his head and desperate to complete the sale of his shady trading empire to a major bank before his fraud is revealed. However, an unexpected, bloody error forces him to turn to the most unlikely corner for help in protecting him from rivals who want to bring him down."

Sarandon and Green will play the character's wife and art dealer mistress respectively. The financial thriller is scheduled to kick off principal photography this March in New York with Johnny Lin, Michael Ohoven, Kevin Turen and Robert Salerno producing.

The movie will begin shooting in spring and is set to be released sometime in 2012

"Arbitrage" will be the second big screen appearance for Drake. He previously landed a small role in "Charlie Bartlett". The 24-year-old Canadian hip hop artist also starred in TV series "Degrassi: The Next Generation ".

Drake has decided to update his blog about how he feels "living my dreams" and even talked about his plans for the future.



The Young Money star wrote October's Very Own:

"I am truly enjoying my life right now. It's been so long since I have wrote anything on here because I feel like for a while I was trying to digest it all and save it for the music.  But it's finally set in that I am living my dreams and doing with all my closest friends from Toronto."

Drake is keen to complete his follow-up album to 'Thank Me Later', which he has already decided to call 'Take Care'. He wrote:

"I wake up and never know what to expect from any given day but good or bad I always learn something from it.  I have decided that I am going to push 'It's Never Enough' and focus completely on delivering Take Care to you all.  I feel like my mind is truly ready to make this next album NOW and I don't want that feeling to escape me."

Drake has recently started shooting a movie, Arbitrage, and is currently enjoying success with Nicki Minaj on her single 'Moment 4 Life'.

He will also be taking to the stage with his 'friend' Rihanna at this weekend's Grammy awards, perhaps Chris Brown will be in the audience to catch an eyeful....

Rihanna Lifts Restraining Order Against Chris Brown Ahead Of Grammys

The 'S&M' singer was approached about putting a stop on the restraining order nearly two years after it was first put in place, but on the condition that Breezy doesn't molest or harass her.

As long as the 'Champion' singer, who is on course to score two singles in the UK's top five this weekend, will now be able to legally contact RiRi but is barred from doing anything threatening towards her.

According to reports, the restraining order has been reduced to a level one and has also been modified by a judge.

The 'Yeah 3x' singer appeared in a Los Angeles court just two weeks ago for a progress hearing where his lawyer, Mark Geragos, asked for the restraining order to be lifted.

It wasn't immediately granted as Judge Schnegg instructed that he would be contacting Rihanna's lawyer, David Etra, in order to get approval, reports MailOnline.

Previously Brown was not able to go within 100 yards of the 'Only Girl (In The World) singer, or 10 yards if they were attending the same industry event.

But now the former couple are likely to both attend this weekend's Grammy Awards, where they are both nominated for awards.

Despite the change, Breezy will still remain on probation for five years.

"Justin Bieber Wants To Kiss Beyonce!"

Wonder what Jay-Z will say about that?

Justin Bieber likes his older women. He's lusted after Cheryl Cole and Selena Gomez but it turns out that it's Beyonce that gives him Bieber Fever!

The 'Eenie Meenie' teen sensation revealed that he'd love to get up close and personal with the  'Halo' songstress this Valentines Day... as long as it's okay with her Jay-Z.

During an interview with Radio Disney, the Baby singer admitted his dream for Valentine's Day was with BeyBey: "That Beyoncé kissed me. Don't be mad at me Jay-Z... please don't be mad"

As the conversation moved from Beyonce to rumoured girlfriend Selena Gomez, the teen, who is premiering his new 3D movie Never Say Never, only had good things to say about the Disney actress.

The 16 year old gushed: "She's a great person. And as long as you keep yourself surrounded by good people, you'll go far."

However, they didn't seem that close as the pair stayed away from each other during the premiere. Maybe Selena's annoyed Justin didn't pick her?

Young love eh?

Unathi Replaces Mara On Idols

Oh to have been a fly the wall when these proceedings were going on ...

We always know that things behind-the-scenes on TV can be crazy-ass, yet when you hear about the results of all the "unseen" conversations that have obviously gone on one can't help going OMG by how much chaos there actually is.

The latest on Idols:  various news reports are saying that Mara has left the show after seven seasons. You may remember all the controversy surrounding her headline comments last season when she said that Idols is racist. Word is the relationship between Mara and M-Net collapsed after that.

Her replacement: Metro FM's Unathi Msengana

It's official. Idols judge Mara Louw is out and Metro FM radio personality Unathi Msengana is in.

This follows reports yesterday that Louw would not be a judge in the seventh season of the singing competition.

The decision came as no surprise to viewers who had called for Louw's resignation last year after she was reprimanded for mixing painkillers, vodka and Red Bull before a show.

The Soweto-born singer was also involved in a racism scandal after she said the show should be moved to SABC3 so that a black person could win Idols, as many black people did not have DStv and could not send hundreds of SMSes to vote for their favourites

The 26-year-old recently came to the UK where she was mobbed by fans as she promotes her new album Pink Friday, which Rihanna features on.

Minaj said to UK newspaper Daily Star: 'Rihanna really inspires me. She's one of the few young artists that I look up to and that I admire.
'She's gone through a lot in the public eye and she came back more badass than before, so I was like YES! We have shot a video for the song Fly and it's my best video to date – it's basically a movie.
'I'm on Raining Men on her album so hopefully we'll do a video for that too and it'll do well.'

Nicki Minaj and Drake they just Friends?

Just Friends?

Drake and Nicki Minaj's flirting may have seemed incestuous at first, but a look at Minaj's "Moment 4 Life" video, in which the two share a kiss, reveals that there's actually chemistry between the Young Money siblings. Is there a romance brewing, or are these two just friends?

What defines wealth amongst young SA go getters? By Jaded Princess

"I was chatting to a friend on Blackberry Messenger or BBM and asked her a simple question, what defines wealth amongst us young people? Her response was straight up yet confusing. She replied "We mistake wealth for debt" I thought about it and agreed with her point. Today I think it has changed. Wealth now means "flossing". Driving expensive cars, wearing name brand clothing, wearing the latest fashion trends, indulging in ridiculously priced items, living in a suburb, to be precise living in the "Northern Suburbs" (which depicts a life of "fabulousity") and splurging on whatever, whenever, even if it means ending up in debt.

 To me wealth means not only having abundance of money, but to be successful in your own right as a person. If that means getting an education or accomplishing one's goals and dreams or just understanding your purpose on earth and having an identity.

What happened to travelling around the world and gaining knowledge and new experiences? I'm not from a wealth background, but I have become wiser by meeting different people, listening to them, travelling, doing community work, going to church, and just being humble. I can truly say that I can survive in a different country on my own, because of the way I was raised. That does not define wealth but it defines who I am as a young South African and having my own identity.

Money isn't everything. A wealthy person to me would be successful, intelligent, hard working, accomplished, well spoken, well rounded, humble person who know who they are and not trying to be what they're not. Respect defines wealth too. If you are well respected for who you are and what you do, you have all the wealth money can't buy.  Hey, this is just my opinion...

"You aren't wealthy until you have something money can't buy"- Garth Brooks

Willow Smith is making moves

"Whip My Hair" was the singer's debut song and it was a automatic hit thanks in much part to one of her biggest fans Jay-Z, "It is very cool, because Jay really welcomes me and makes me feel like the record label is a place where I can have fun and talk about my career". At 10 Years old with Jay-Z behind you… Willow is on a long road to success.
