People in the spotlight live like any other person and do the same things that anyone can do. However, when celebrities do things we tend to be surprised and judge them very badly. The target audience also reinforce the mistakes done by their favourite celebrities by discussing them among themselves.
Celebrities differ from activities they engage in and how they deal with fame. There are those celebrities that do not care about everything that media is reporting about them and there are those who care about everything reported about them.
Khanyisile Mbau, self-proclaimed "Queen of bling" is one of those celebrities that did not care about everything that the media reported about them.However, the New Age newspaper reported that Khanyisile Mbau is writing a book to change people's perception about herself read more.
 The book is titled " Bitch Please, I'm Khanyi Mbau."read more.Khanyi says the purpose of the book is to show people that she’s learnt from her past mistakes as a teenage girl who had more fame than sense. “I’ve been married, had a baby – That is what people need to realise.”
A Tell All book(http://picture of tell all books.com)
 In her book Khanyi promised to be frank and mention names of entertainers and politicians. She is helped by Lesley Mofokeng to make the most success of her book. The book will heat the shelves on August which is known as the women’s month in South Africa. Khanyi says she is taking responsibility for everything reported about her read more. The New Age also mentioned that Khanyi is back with a book that she believes will help young modern woman face challenges such as being a young mother and being abused in a relationship(New Age, 29 May 2012 by Diana kekana).

Blogger's opinions.
Therefore, for me to hear that Khanyi is doing something positive  to show people her good side, simply tells me that she is re-building relationships with her fans and that she is also fixing her image, after all everyone deserves a second chance.

  1. Re-building self image is indeed important but how ever celebrities really do find them selves in akward positions because if you have a damaged image itis hard for you to come back and change what people think.

  4. The reason why we judge our celebrities is because they are always portraying this image that they are not lets hope that this is the really Khanyi.

  5. Yes, I do agreee that she is re-building her self-image and her relationship with the fans or the public, but one thing that we must not forget is that people or the "public" never forgets something perceived as bad, but it will depend on how the public responds to this one.

  7. Khanyi Mbau she has ruined her reputation recently by posting nude pictures, but this doesn't mean she cant rebuild her reputation.Rebuilding self image as a celeb would be appropriate for Khanyi if she can work on her reputation to create a better image for her self.

  10. Well I best believe that re-building is the most important thing and what I like about Khanyi is that she has alwways been a go-getter, which of course some of the things she did utterly didn't agree with most of the people's approach to life. But I certainly doubt that Khanyi Mbau would change just to please the public.

  14. Your reputation can either make you or break you, so it is important that you are always in the good books of people or you will face the dangers of not succeeding.

    1. As far as I see i think that Khanyi also want ot be ing good books of the public.

  15. Khanyi Mbau must not quit just because she doesn't get it right on her first shot. And we must waste our lives fulfilling someone else’s dreams and desires. You must follow your intuition and make a decision to never give up on who you are capable of becoming...After all we all need to rebuild our images and the only way we can do that is getting second chance to life. Though she must be very specific on her objectives about changing

  17. Re-building your reputation is a good thing. It shows that she (khanyi) do care about what the media portrays her as. We all have our own ways to rectify our own mistakes and indeed support our loved ones. I salute what she did to rebuild her dignity and self conciousness.

  18. Re-building self image is not a bad thing but people do not forget what we did before we decided to change our ways. It will take a lot for her to change peoples views about her but its a good thing that she is trying to turn things around. she sure has a long way to go though.

  20. Celebrities are seen as role models in our societies hence they should always be aware of what they are doing and how that will affect their image. if Khanyi does not care about what the media is saying about her then why is she even writting the book, why does she feel like she owes anyone an explanation?????
