This man is wise, like a Buddha

I always like it when people in the public eye are not afraid to say exactly what they think. Sometimes it seems as though celebrities, especially in SA, are afraid to say bad things about people, because it's such a small industry and they don't want to lose out on work opportunities. But then again, when you are a Crazy Monkey, you can say what you want.

You will all know Gavin Williams from Crazy Monkey on MTV, and he is now the editor of the weekly mens magazine, Krew. In the January/February issue of GQ, on the back page, is a piece written by Gavin Williams.

I found myself quietly amused when reading what he has to say, because he is so right. On Tanit Phoenix, he has this to say:

...Ultimately she's really nice(bordering on flirtatious) with the people who matter- and a bit of an ice queen to those who don't. Would do anything to get a page in the press, including claiming to be a lesbian now and mourning Brett Goldins death(His Crazy Monkey co-star- murdered last year)

So, so true! I might add that other things she does to get in the press is tan topless at the beach, then act shocked when the pictures get in all the magazines- claiming she had no idea someone was taking photos. Yeah. Sure. Also, the whole thing with Roland Schoeman was really fake. Those cheesy pictures of them hugging in a shopping centre were too pathetic for words. Who hugs like they did? It was seriously bad acting guys.

Another thing he says is:

People who dress all 'funky' or even use the word are always the least creative. The 'I'm crazy me' dress sense is for people who are completely rubbish at original thought.

True again! I am always amazed at these fashion designers who wear jackets that look like curtains, over a polo neck jersey with huge sunglasses on their head-for show. Think complete toss head Robert Verdi on E! entertainment. He should be out of a job.

But yeah, Gavin Williams is a guy I would totally agree with. It's cool to see someone speak their mind without worrying what others think.

I actually just found Tanits Myspace page(Ryk Neethling was online when I went on- what a bus) and someone commented saying Krew magazine had gone under-as in closed down. Has it? I actually never ever saw it on the shelves, so maybe Gavin does not still work there. Anyway.
