Vuvuzela South Africa

I never thought Id write about Paris Hilton with regards to the 2010 World Cup, let alone her getting arrested at the Brazil vs Netherlands game in Port Elizabeth.

Brazil vs Ghana – Paris Hilton vs South African Police

But, while I was tweeting through the Ghana match last night the twittersphere picked it up and within a few minutes reports and pics were pouring in – about Paris Hilton getting arrested st the Stadium during the Brazil vs Netherlands match smoking a joint and being taken off to the special World cup Court in Port Elizabeth.

Well it didnt take long for the Paris Hilton jokes to start flying around – Like “Did you hear Paris Hilton was arrested for ambush marketing by FIFA in Port Elizabeth – she was snorting Pesi”

Oops, it is Actually Jennifer Rovero

Anyway the story continues – she appeared in court and blamed her best friend – former Playboy centerfold Jennifer Rovero and the authorities dropped the charges against Hilton, said former centerfold Jennifer Rovero, “acknowledged to be in possession of cannabis, and pleaded guilty. According to Brig. Sally De Beer, a spokeswoman for South African police.

Rovero was sentenced R1000 or 31 days.

Paris Hilton Reassures her Tweeps

Hilton wrote  on Twitter later: “Hey guys, there’s a lot of crazy rumors going around. Just want you all to know the truth. Everything is completely fine. I was not charged or arrested, cause I didn’t do anything.”

She said she was helping police with their investigation. Ja, to shop her best friend – and anyway what does R1000 mean to people like this. Wonder if she keeps “fall guys” with her when she travels?

“Everyone was super nice and friendly to me,” Hilton wrote. “I love South Africa! Such an amazing place, especially during The World Cup! Hope that clears everything up.”

Observations:

• You know you’re in trouble when your name Paris Hilton arrested is a high ranking search phrase.
• Paris Hilton’s entitled behavior didn’t knock Mick Jagger off top of the twitter trends – Sometimes you can get Satisfaction
• One is not even allowed to smoke cigarettes in most places in SA – and we all know that nobody smokes a joint alone, so who do these chicks think they are smoking a zol in one of our stadiums? ((Even during a Holland match)
• Charlize tasted her first Campari in Benoni so Paris wanted to taste her first Transkei spliff in PE?

Vuvuzelas are going to be written into the Guinness Book of Records tonight at the at the Vodacom Challenge derby at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth where Orlando Pirates play Kaizer Chiefs.

Vodacom – the mobile operator behind the attempt – said fans would blow their vuvuzelas for 30 seconds before Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs kick off against each other in Port Elizabeth.

Setting a World Record

“At this soccer crescendo, soccer fans will make their mark in history when they are counted as the voice behind the new world record. Three minutes before kick-off, fans will be signaled to blow their vuvuzelas simultaneously,” the operator said.

The first 20 000 fans to enter the stadium would receive a complimentary limited edition Vodacom Guinness World Records vuvuzela.

2010 Guinness Book of Records

The world record attempt will be monitored by Guinness world record adjudicator Rob Malloy who will fly into the country from London especially for the event, which will be recorded in the 2010 Guinness Book of Records.

More than 20 000 spectators are going to set a world record when they blow their Vuvuzelas for 30 seconds before the Orlando Pirates meet Kaizer Chiefs in the Vodacom Challenge at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Port Elizabeth this evening.

And it would seem that because of their 2 -0 Victory over Manchester City in Polokwane and their longer rest period after the game, the mighty Buccaneers are tipped to win this game to meet the blues again in the final at Loftus on Saturday.

The Buccaneers have the Edge

According to Kickoff, Orlando Pirates Coach, Ruud Kroll believes his boys have the edge.

“Recuperation is very important in football and the fact that Chiefs played a top team like Manchester City yesterday [Tuesday] does give us an advantage,” Kroll says. “From our side, we have prepared well and are relaxed.”

Pressure is on Chiefs

And when you speak to Amakhosi manager Bobby Motaung he says the pressure is on his team after their defeat to City on Tuesday.

“The game in Durban was almost like a practice match; there was no pressure on us to win,” he says. “But the pressure comes with Thursday’s game because there is no ‘friendly’ match when we play Pirates.
