CARNIVAL CITY. - I can bring you the first interview with Supersterre winner Burger le Roux who just won the title in the third season finale of the hit SABC2 reality show.

In my interview immediately after Burger le Roux heard that he's the winner of this season of Supersterre which nets his a Sony Music contract worth R500 000 and R1000 in cash, he tells me how he thinks that his life will change. What scares him, and what was his other dream that also became true? Will he consider doing other things besides just music? And how did he feel just before his last performance in the final episode? I have it all covered.

BREAKING. Patricia Lewis apologizes for her boobs almost spilling out on TV: ''It was a mistake.''

You're reading it here first.

Patricia Lewis is apologizing after her boobs almost spilled out of her skimpy dress in Friday night's penultimate episode of the reality show.

I can tell you that SABC2 has been inundated with complaints from viewers who were too scared to keep looking and Patricia Lewis is now saying sorry. ''It was a mistake,'' Patricia Lewis tells me about her tight, small pink dress which already revealed a lot of her ample busom.

''It was a mistake. It was a costume malfunction,'' she tells me. The whole show's dresses are beautiful but were not specifically made for me. Its dresses that were already made. And I've added a bit of weight up here,'' she said to me propping up her boobs. ''I had to literally worm into these dresses like the one viewers saw on Friday night. It was definitely too small and too tight.''

''I tried to cover up as much as I could,'' Patricia Lewis tells me about her barely there bling pink creation that made viewers gasp. ''When I saw myself on TV Friday night I freaked out myself. I thought, 'Oh heavens. Tomorrow I'm getting fired! So yes, everyone. It was a wardrobe malfunction, it wasn't supposed to show so much.''

The Supersterre finale is going out on SABC2 on Friday at 19:30.

BREAKING. Casper de Vries still a judge on SABC2's Supersterre.

I asked SABC2 for clarity earlier in the week regarding rumours that Casper de Vries will no longer be a judge on the SABC2 reality show Supersterre set to start on SABC2 on 19 March at 19:30.

SABC2 just responded with a general press release issued to all. In that press release Casper de Vries is quoted as saying: ''Due to a misunderstanding about the judging process and my role therein, I posted comments on the internet in a moment of anger and confusion and I apologise for my misleading comments.''

''I have also accepted an apology from the producers of Supersterre about the misunderstanding. I firmly believe that Supersterre is a fair and transparent show and I look forward to a great working time back at the show.''

SABC2 confirmed that musician Steve Hofmeyr was brought in as a guest judge for the show's recording during the episode in which Casper de Vries was absent but that Casper de Vries will appear again in the third and fourth episodes.

SABC2 said that the channel believes that ''all processes are above board''.

ALmost everything about it has been an open secret for months and week now, yet SABC2 has just finally confirmed some stuff about the new season of the reality song contest.

The coaches will be Heinz Winckler, Bianca le Grange, Lianie May, Manuel Escorcio and Gerhard Steyn.

You're reading it here first.

Henrico Coetzer is a finalist in the 3rd season of Supersterre that will start on 19 March 2010 on SABC2.

I broke the news here earlier this week that Supersterre will return to SABC2 next year for another season of the reality talent seeking TV show produced and starring Patricia Lewis.

Henrico, a 16 year old tenor from Pretoria who has been singing since he was 5, just sang several Josh Groban songs (among them ''You Raise me Up'' and ''Noel'') during the Christmas morning church service that I attended in Port Alfred. That's where I got the got the exclusive gossip!

I think he also entered for SA's Got Talent that was broadcast on SABC2 earlier this year.

BREAKING. Reality show Supersterre back on SABC2.

You're reading it here first.

I can first and exclusively reveal that Supersterre is back on SABC2.

The TV channel has not yet confirmed the news to me (I have asked), but I can reveal that the talent seeker reality show Supersterre, produced by and starring Patricia Lewis, will be back on SABC2 from Friday, 19 March 2010.

The reality show that looks for new voices across South Africa and had its 1st and 2nd seasons in 2006 and 2007 respectively, will need to find at least one new judge: a chair is empty since judge Niekie van den Berg became a politician.

UPDATE (Tuesday, 12:45) - SABC2 just confirmed my BREAKING NEWS. ''Supersterre III will be returning to the channel for the 3rd season on 19th March 2010,'' says SABC2.
