After a two-year battle, actor Tumisho Masha was acquitted of assault charges laid against him

Zozibini Mtongana, Tumisho's estranged wife, laid charges of assault back in 2016 but shortly thereafter revoked her statement. The charges were reinstated by the National Prosecuting Authority in October last year. After two years, none of us know what really happened between the two. 

Why would a wife accuse her husband of assault, withdraw her statement, and then reinstate it if it didn't happen... strange, ne?

In this day and age, women have a voice and with movements like #MeToo men are learning that women won't lie down and take it, but in saying that, we need to be transparent and not call foul when nothing happened. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but there have been cases in the past that seem a little suspicious.

With all that being said and done, I wish we could all just get along.

Denzel Washington and Michael B. Jordan sit down for an inspirational chat

Over a cocktail hour in New York, the actors traded notes about creating characters and the work that really matters to them. 

Denzel Washington, what a legend! To even be compared to him must be a mind bend for Michael B. Jordan.

“It was a big highlight,” @michaelbjordan said, then looked down shyly into his lap. The actor was explaining what it meant to him when film critics wrote that his breakthrough performance in “Fruitvale Station,” 5 years ago, reminded them of a young Denzel Washington. Possibly complicating matters was the fact that Denzel — whose career spans more than 40 years and 50 films — was sitting next to him at the table. “When someone says you’re like your idol,” @michaelbjordan said, “It’s like: ‘Really? You see that in me?’ I’d only done that one movie. But then I started using it as motivation,” he said. “I wanted to pop up on Denzel’s radar. He’s the OG. If I could get recognition from him, I know I’m going down the right path, you know?” Finally, Denzel broke in with a booming laugh: “And here we are, Mike! Looks like it’s working out already,” he said. @andrewwhitey photographed the 2 stars at the Lambs Club in Manhattan (a Diet Coke for #DenzelWashington, a sauvignon blanc for #MichaelBJordan). They traded notes about creating characters and the socially minded work that really matters to them.

Why was Meghan Markle left off the Royal baby announcement?

Once again, the interwebz gets its knickers in an unnecessary knot. I love how keen the public is for Meghan to join the famdam! 

I still delight in seeing her as Rachel in 'Suits'. So exciting! Love her!
