Khanyi Mbau embraces dance challenge and love from Gen Zs
From her iconic yellow Lamborghini to her star-studded parties, she had Mzansi media captivated.
Dubbed the 'Queen of Bling', actress and media personality Khanyi Mbau is known for being both a trendsetter and a controversial public figure.
Khanyi has never shied away from wealth and luxury, often gravitating toward money.
She has also challenged beauty standards through her openness about cosmetic procedures, including skin bleaching and her recent facelift. Even without trying, she seems to effortlessly capture public attention.
If she is not the talk of the town because of her luxurious lifestyle or leaving a man in Dubai, she is trending for giving us her most quoted line, 'A man will leave you in the desert without water.'
So why is she trending this time? It's all about her over-the-top dance to Culoe De Song's hit 'Nguwe'. Her energetic moves have captivated Mzansi TikTok users so much that they've created a viral dance challenge around it.
She took to Instagram to thank all the Gen Zs who have been showing her love through the dance challenge.
'To all my GenZ's the love and attention you give me … the KHANYI CORE has me feeling so overwhelmed and my heart is full of love and gratitude,' she posted.
'My entire career brought to life year in and out by all of you is not something I can ignore. Thank you all for seeing me. Abundance to all of you, my babies, she concluded.

This girl dad cried at Olivia Rodrigo concert—and the reason has us tearing up, too
There's no denying that something a little bit magical happens when a dad connects deeply with his daughter. And that's exactly what happened in a viral TikTok at Olivia Rodrigo's Lollapalooza set. Spoiler: Dads can cry, too—and yes, it's exactly as sweet as you think it is. The viral TikTok shows Christian Lopez standing with his daughters when Rodrigo starts singing 'Pretty Isn't Pretty,' a song about the vicious cycle of beauty and what girls go through trying to live up to impossible standard. The camera pans to his face: wide eyes, jaw tight, blinking back tears. He later told NBC Chicago, 'I didn't know the words… and then I hear the words and I'm like, 'Oh my god, my 12-year-old could feel like this?'' Cue collective Internet swoon. Why girl parents everywhere got it Pretty Isn't Pretty is a window into young (and even not-so-young) girl' hearts. Psychologists say shared emotional experiences, like concerts or movies, strengthen empathy and parent-child bonds. And crying openly? Yup, that's totally healthy, too. It releases stress, boosts connection, and shows your kids that feelings are okay. Lopez explained he spent most of the day sweating through the crowd and then, bam, the lyrics hit. 'There's always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong,' Rodrigo sings. Lopez froze. His daughters sang along. He realized: wow, my kids might feel this way too. Cue full-on tears. As Lopez's experience went viral, it was clear the Internet was in agreement about his experience. Comments included: 'Dad is experiencing girlhood rn.' 'The dad looking around and realizing so many girls including his daughters feel this way.' 'Girl dad through and through.' Related: Dad breaks down in tears after hearing what teachers said about his 4-year-old daughter The science behind dad-crying at concerts So if you were looking for a reason to buy those concert tickets your child is asking for, consider this: Music is brain chemistry in motion. Studies show emotionally resonant songs activate the empathy and reward centers in our brains simultaneously. Translation: Your tear ducts and your love for your kids are having a meeting, and everyone's invited. How to steal this bonding move (no concert required) Feel deeply. Watch a performance, a movie, or even a TikTok with your child—and let yourself cry a little if the feelings arise. Talk about it. When topics of self-image come up, embrace those moments to start conversations with kids about self-worth and confidence. Validate feelings. Show your kids it's okay to be emotional—it's brave, not embarrassing. Laugh afterwards. Because yes, dad crying is hilarious, too. The real takeaway There's nothing wrong with feeling your kids' feelings—especially when they're set to an Olivia Rodrigo soundtrack. This dad's viral moment reminds us: Love sometimes shows up as tears, laughter, and a little public embarrassment. And honestly? That's parenting at its finest. Solve the daily Crossword

Kirsten Dunst says we've been saying her name wrong
'Bring It On' because another star has shared that we aren't saying her name correctly. Kirsten Dunst broke it down for us in a recent TikTok, shared by Town & Country. 'I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up,' she said. 'I don't care.' The actress said she answers to all versions of her name, though 'Keer-sten' is the proper pronunciation. 'I don't blame people,' Dunst said. 'Like in England, they don't really say my name right.' Even coworkers have gotten it wrong. 'The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong,' she said. 'There was like Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up.' Two people who don't have to worry about it are her sons with fellow actor Jesse Plemons, Ennis, 7, and James, 4. Dunst shared that they had a scare when James got sick in Budapest earlier this year, while the family was with her while she filming 'The Entertainment System Is Down' and Plemons had to return to Los Angeles with the boys. She didn't share what her son was ill with, but said 'everyone is fine now.' Dunst will next be seen in 'Roofman' which stars Channing Tatum as 'a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald's restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman.' The film is in theaters on October 10.
