all these celebrities have one thing in common – they love reality series.
It is hardly surprising to note that the majority of programming these days is on reality shows.
But not all reality shows are enjoyable some of them are boring but others are quite educative.
On SABC, I know most people watch this channel, there is a programme called Intersexion and it is about HIV and Aids. Basically the programme discuss issues related to multiple sexual partners.
One thing that drew me to watch this series was the issue of “sexual networks” and I was convinced that its possible that the whole community can be wiped out once you get involved in such a network. One of the examples that were given in that programme was that through sexual networks you could sleep with virtually everyone in the community indirectly.
The issues concerning HIV and Aids are quite scary and you don’t need a scientist to tell you how serious it is especially that we are all affected in one or the other.
Here is the last part of the upcoming programmes you can look forward to watching in the coming few weeks courtesy of DStv.

The 15th series sees the Top Gear team, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard (The Hamster) Hammond and James (Captain Slow) May carry out weekly power tests on the world’s most exciting super-cars, take part in daring challenges and look back at some of the stranger aspects of motoring history.
James May explores how close he can drive to the tip of a volcano in the first episode of the new series, while Jeremy Clarkson visits Yorkshire to investigate why there aren’t more 3-wheeled cars in the world by taking the iconic Robin Reliant for an eventful test drive.
Meanwhile, Richard Hammond is in Sweden to take part in a race against hardcore snowmobilers.
All of the favourite elements from previous series are back as well, with the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car section featuring some Hollywood A-listers in Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, as well as Jeff Goldblum (The Fly), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter) and Formula 1 star Rubens Barrichello.
The stars will also be driving a new car this year, but what will happen to the old Chevrolet Lacetti?
Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate – there are no boring statistics and impenetrable conversations about camshafts and tyre pressures. Instead you get authoritative information and entertainment.

The Pelican Brief (Sunday 27 March at 20:35 CAT)
Based on a John Grisham page-turner, this gripping thriller stars Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich) as a character that Grisham apparently wrote with Roberts specifically in mind.
She stars as a law student who stumbles across the truth behind the assassination of two Supreme Court justices.
The massive conspiracy she uncovers places her life – and those of others – in grave danger, and the only ally she can turn to is a journalist (Denzel Washington – Training Day, Malcolm X).
The two stars both went on to win Academy Awards® for their roles in subsequent films. The Pelican Brief won an ASCAP Award and is a solidly entertaining thriller, brimming with intrigue and boosted by solid performances by the two young leads.
