LOS ANGELES - Pamela Anderson has called for an end to reality television, saying it leaves people feeling “used, dirty, and with no feeling of accomplishment”. The former Baywatch star lashed out at the popular format despite her past appearances on Big Brother, Dancing On Ice and US show Dancing With The Stars. Writing on Twitter, the 51-year-old US actress branded reality TV an “epidemic of ugliness”. She said: “Did I enjoy being on a reality show? “Please no more reality shows or reality stars... even France is polluted with them - it’s an epidemic of ugliness, superficial competitions, desperate and exploitive for the artist. “You are usually bullied into doing TV like this by agents fighting over commissions - you’re left without any great
amount of joy or money - you feel used, dirty, and with no feeling of accomplishment.” Anderson, who has two sons, added: “Unless of course - you attempt to find any meaning or redemption by donating all to charity. It’s how I forgave myself.” Her comments come after several former Love Island stars urged producers of the UK show to provide support to contestants who struggle with their new-found fame, following the deaths of former contestants Mike Thalassitis earlier this month and Sophie Gradon in June last year. Both are believed to have taken their own lives after appearing on the ITV dating show. (net)

PARIS - Hollywood director James Gray is to stage his first opera in Paris in November. The maker of “The Yards”, “Little Odessa” and “the Immigrant” is to direct Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees. French fashion designer Christian Lacroix will do the costumes for the starry production. The theatre’s director Michel Franck said it took him more than a
year to convince New Yorker Gray to come on board. “He is one of my favourite film directors and I read that opera was his passion and that he is always listening to it on his earphones,” Franck told AFP. “I was hugely impressed by his knowledge of the repertoire when I met him,” he added. “He is capable of singing whole passages from Janacek’s ‘From the House of the Dead’ -- and not
just from ‘La Traviata’ and ‘Carmen’.” Gray is planning a moderndress production set in the present, Franck said. French film star Gerard Depardieu will perform his tribute to the French chanson legend Barbara in April 2020 in the other highlight of the theatre’s season. Choreographer Benjamin Millepied is also bringing his L.A. Dance Project. (afp)

An elderly woman washes her belongings in the mud on March 19, 2019, in Chimanimani, on March 19, 2019, after the area was hit by the Cyclone Idai. More than a thousand people are feared to have died in Mozambique alone while scores have been killed and more than 200 are missing in neighbouring Zimbabwe following the deadliest cyclone to hit southern Africa.
Mozambique cyclone survivors face ‘ticking bomb’ of disease
Survivors of a powerful cyclone that pummelled southern Africa were to begin receiving emergency medicine, food and tents on Tuesday as floodwaters receded, while the Red Cross warned of “a ticking bomb” of disease in the storm-struck region. Cyclone Idai smashed into Mozambique’s coast, unleashing hurricane-force wind and rain that flooded swathes of the poor country before battering eastern Zimbabwe -- killing more than 700 people across the two nations. The head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Elhadj As Sy said Monday “we are sitting on a ticking bomb” as he called for renewed efforts to address the worsening health situation. As logistical conditions improved and roads to affected communities
have been reconnected, the full scale of the humanitarian crisis has been revealed for the first time since disaster hit on March 15. More than two million people have been affected in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi where the storm started as a tropical depression causing deadly flooding which displaced nearly a million people. Hundreds are still missing in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. “The conditions for rescue are improving. Yesterday a road reopened which was really important to allow officials to work and rescue,” Mo-
zambique’s Land Minister Celso Correa told reporters on Monday. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ Sebastian Rhodes Stampa also said Monday that 30 aid missions were flying in while others were going by road “so we can really deliver volume”. “We are packing food and shelter now -- they will go out (Tuesday) both north and south,” he said. In New York, UN aid chief Mark Lowcock launched an appeal to provide Mozambique with $282 million to help with relief efforts over the next three months.
Lowcock told reporters that similar campaigns would be instigated in the coming days for Zimbabwe and Malawi.
- ‘Children looking for their parents’ Buzi, one of Mozambique’s worst-hit towns located 30 kilometres (19 miles) southwest of the city of Beira, became reachable by road on Monday -- for the first time since the storm hit. “It will now be much faster to deliver aid,” Stampa added. In Buzi, survivor Joao Zacaria said that “one man who had 40 cows lost them all. Forty, can you imagine!” IFRC head Sy, who had just
returned from the region, warned of a “high risk of water-borne diseases” like cholera and typhus -- as well as malaria, which is endemic in the region. A procession of mourners carried the coffin containing the body of Tomas Joaquim Chimukme, who was killed by the cyclone, through saturated marshland outside Beira. Continued to page 6
