Witty, wild and weirdly relatable: why 'Single Parents' hits home

The cast of Disney+'s family-friends series, "Single Parents". Image: Instagram. If you thought raising kids was a walk in the park, then get ready for the rollercoaster ride that is "Single Parents" on Disney+. This series plunges viewers into the chaotic yet hilarious reality of modern parenthood, where laughter is the ultimate remedy for daily mayhem. With a cast that feels like your own quirky circle of friends, the show captures the relatable struggles of juggling child-rearing responsibilities while trying to keep your personal life from spiralling out of control. At the helm is Will Cooper, played by Taran Killam. Cooper's world turned upside down when his wife opted for a life on the road, leaving him in charge of their daughter, Sophie. And if you thought that was tough, just wait till you meet the rest of the single-parent ensemble. There's Angie (Leighton Meester), a stressed out paralegal trying her best to stay afloat with her son Graham; Poppy (Kimrie Lewis), a sommelier trying to sip her way through parenting with her son Rory; Douglas (Brad Garrett), a widowed dad navigating fatherhood while holding onto some rather dubious ideologies, and Miggy (Jake Choi), a fresh-faced, 20-year-old attempting to balance fatherhood with his DJ ambitions after being left high and dry by his baby mama.

Together, this band of single parents forms a supergroup forged by their shared bonds of frustration and exhaustion. What makes "Single Parents" a breath of fresh air is its refreshing approach towards the digital age of family life. The show avoids the pitfalls of crude humour and excessive adult themes. Instead, it finds its charm within the laughter that comes from sheer absurdity and the sassiness of the couple envy every single parent feels. Yes, it gets cheesy at times, but isn't that what life, and parenthood, is all about? The writing is smart, funny and often heart-warming, showing that perhaps sometimes kids are the ones imparting life lessons while parents are just along for the laughs. Poppy (Kimrie Lewis) with her son Rory (Devin Trey Campbell). Image: Instagram. Whether it's the hilarity of a poorly executed school pick-up or the cringeworthy misadventures in the dating world, "Single Parents" embodies that age-old adage: it takes a village to raise a child. As you binge through the episodes, expect a hearty mix of genuine community support and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being a single parent. The moments shared between the parents highlight the joys and trials of parenthood and remind viewers that people can band together, creating their own family out of friendship and shared experiences.

So, grab your popcorn, settle in and prepare for a delightful escape with "Single Parents", a show that promises laughter alongside lessons of resilience and community. After all, in the whirlwind of parenting chaos, sometimes laughter truly is the best remedy.

How Lebo M's former ballroom dance mate became the author of his ‘Nants'Ingonyama' autobiography

Lebo M's book is titled Nanst'Ingonyama, a phrase that the world first heard at the beginning of the Lion King movie. 'I don't know how many biographers I've fired all over the world to finally have a biography that is coming out,' shared renowned music producer Lebo M about the launch of his book. Titled Nanst'Ingonyama, the iconic phrase that the world first heard at the beginning of The Lion King movie, the book is written by South African-born author and playwright Soentjie Xavier. ALSO READ: Lebo M says there's nothing to celebrate about what government has done for the creative industry in 30 years of democracy Ballroom dance mates Lebo M and Xavier met as youngsters at the Tladi Youth Club ballroom dance in Soweto, around the ages of seven and eight. The two reconnected a few years ago when Lebo was performing in Portugal, where Xavier is based. 'She sent me this thing and I read it. For some reason, I had this natural instinct that God or the universe has presented the ultimate person to tell, not my story, but the journey of Lebo M, who starts as Lebohang Morake, who comes from Soweto,' said Lebo. A copy of Lebo M's book, Nanst'Ingonyam. Picture: Supplied The Grammy award-winning artist was speaking at the launch of the Dreamer and the Dream exhibition, a walk-through of Lebo M's 60 years, captured in images. Lebo said there was a book that Disney had backed, which was complete, but didn't hit the right notes with him. 'Disney was issuing a book about Lebo M, and I read it and I shut it down. It was 'this kid comes from South Africa, lives in LA and becomes a star', you know.' Xavier read an excerpt from the book on the night. The release date of the book is yet to be announced. ALSO READ: Lebo M celebrated ahead of first concert in SA on Good Friday Making it to the Hollywood Bowl Lebo M said his dream came true last year when he celebrated three decades of The Lion King by performing at the Hollywood Bowl. 'I grew up in Los Angeles and I used to drive a taxi in Los Angles. I would park my cab while big shows are happening. I'd just sit there and dream and imagine one day that I'm gonna be inside the Bowl, imagine, one day, I'm gonna play the Hollywood Bowl. That happened to me last year for the first time,' shared Lebo. Most of the images in the Dreamer and the Dream exhibition were taken by Lebo M's official photographer, Blaq Smith. 'We've seen the world. We've been everywhere and back, and it's been a fruitful journey — I'd like to believe,' said the photographer. Wall to wall: Images of Lebo with Dr John Kani and another image with US film producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Pictures: Supplied. The images feature Lebo M alongside some of the world's biggest names. The photos range from Prince William to one with singer and actor Jennifer Hudson. 'All these images were handpicked, and these were the most remarkable moments that I managed to capture of Unc. My favourite is actually that one,' said Smith, pointing at the shot of Lebo M with Kim Kardashian and her daughter, North West. Brotherhood: Blaq Smith and Lebo M. Picture: Supplied. Sharing a story about Blaq Smith's favourite photo, Lebo M said he was impressed by Smith's fearlessness. 'Just before my change of clothes, Smith comes and says, 'Unc, you gotta stay', he instructs me. He said, 'Kim, come this way', and I turn around and it's Kim… We've interacted before [with Kim], but I just loved his confidence. I loved how he said we're taking this picture now,' shared Lebo. 'Being talented and having the eye to really capture moments is quite special,' Lebo M said of the South African photographer.

Microsoft to showcase Notre-Dame Cathedral in digital replica

Microsoft is teaming up with the French government to create a digital replica of Paris's Notre-Dame Cathedral, France's most visited monument, the US tech company's president Brad Smith said on Monday. The 862-year-old Gothic masterpiece was reopened last December after a five-year restoration after a devastating fire in 2019. A digital replica will serve as a record of the building's architectural details, Microsoft said. It will also provide a virtual experience for visitors and those unable to visit. The cathedral became a symbol of Paris and France after Victor Hugo used it as a setting for his 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dam e. Quasimodo, the main character, has been portrayed in Hollywood movies, an animated Disney adaptation and in musicals. Last year Microsoft worked with Iconem, a French company that specialises in digitalisation of heritage sites, on a digital replica of St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. 'One of the things we learnt from the work at St Peter's is how a digital twin can help support the ongoing maintenance of a building. Because you capture a digital record of every centimetre and what is there and what it's supposed to look like,' Smith told Reuters. 'The ability to create a digital twin right now I think will provide an enormously valuable digital record that I believe people are going to be using 100 years from now,' he said. Since 2019 Microsoft has digitally preserved heritage sites and events, including:
