Windhoek — Seems  Zambian housemate Maxwell Chongo harbours ambitions of becoming a politician! According to a recent article in the The Post (Zambia), Max has not only dreamed of becoming a star since he was a child ...

but also of leading Zambia one day.

Eish, does that mean we might just end up seeing his lady love Lerato as a First Lady one fine year?!!! The South African housemate is on record as saying she shares Max's passion to help the underprivileged. Don't know if there's any significance in the numbers, but Max is fourth in a family of seven, and Lerato is fourth in a family of five.

Seems everyone's into translating their 'persona' into numbers these days, including Namibia's music stars - from The Dogg (3545) through Gazza (467) to Stanley (well, according to well-placed coastal sources!).

But no one could give me Stanley's number at the time of going to press. Seems the NBC-Sanlam Awards also didn't have Ou Stakes's number, or should that be get his number ...

Hella, you know what I mean: he wasn't dialled in or something. And, please, please, please, I'm not getting involved in that controversy. I'm too busy trying to come up with Dr Phil answers for members of BBA nation seeking advice on how to beat their BBA addiction. To quote one fan: "Hola Fellow Africans.

Anybody with the cure to the BBA2 Withdrawal Symptoms? Please, I need urgent attention because my health is deteriorating. I can't sleep, eat or do anything ..." I hear you, and legions of fellow sufferers, but I'm not sure what to suggest! Anyone else got any ideas? Don't know if this will help at all, but some sort of help could be around the corner, or around the year. Tashi Tagg, Editor of TVSA, has reported that there's a strong possibility that M-Net will be doing not one but two Big Brothers next year. Sjoe. Wonder what impact that will have on the productivity of the continent given that a fair amount of able-bodied men and women say they watched BBA 2 24-7! If there are two BBs, seems the likelihood is that the first will be BBA 3 and then a BB South Africa 3 too.

"I imagine the way they'll do it is that one would be during one half of the year and the other during the other half and we'll all end up lunatics by the end of the year.

That's six months of living through needing to smack the jacuzzi out of strangers 24/7," muses Tagg. 'Richiana', aaaah 'Richiana'. Nothing new in the last 24 hours, not even the vaguest hint of gossip!
