Gordon Ramsay Is Replaced By a Younger, Hotter Chef at One & Only Cape Town

Where: Dock Road, Cape Town, South Africa

So where Gordon Ramsay failed, a local chef is hoping to succeed. Ramsay may have been forced to close his Maze restaurant at One & Only Cape Town last month, but Sol Kerzner obviously has faith in South African chef Reuben Riffel, who will open Reuben’s at One & Only Cape Town on October 1.

Although he may not be as famous as old sweary boots, Reuben has won acclaim (and awards) for his restaurants in the Franschhoek wine valley called (we’re sensing a theme here) Reuben’s and Reuben’s at The Robertson Small Hotel. This will be his first urban resort, though.

Curses! Gordon Ramsay Is Out Of (South) Africa

Where: Dock Road, Cape Town, South Africa

Gordy and Tana at the opening of Maze One & Only. Guess he should have concentrated more on the food than the highlights.

UPDATE: Gordon Ramsay also owes the U.S. government millions in unpaid taxes!

Poor old Gordon Ramsay. Yet another one of his hotel restaurants has closed down, and not even the World Cup rush of Brits could save it.

According to the Mail on Sunday, Maze at One & Only Cape Town - which was his only restaurant in Africa - was shut down by Sol Kerzner on Thursday because after a year and a bit, it still wasn’t pulling in the punters.

The Killer View at the One & Only Ocean Club

Where: One Casino Drive, Paradise Island, Bahamas

We don't know about you but we feel like it's been a mighty long week. We're sick of stomping on dirty snow in New York, and now it's melting and dripping off buildings and trees onto our heads. Gross. That's why we're finding our end-of-week solace in this snapshot of the Killer View from the One & Only Ocean Club in the Bahamas.

We dropped by this super-posh property last summer—we were too poor to stay over, but we did grab a mojito at the Pool Terrace Cafe. (Ordering rum punch in such classy surroundings just seemed... well, wrong.) Our tip to anyone doing likewise, however, is this: When you ask the front desk staff where the bar is and they direct you to the pool terrace, politely thank them and then say, "No, we mean the Dune Bar. This is where the money shot, the Killer View, is.

Jennifer Aniston Was Well-Protected at The One and Only Palmilla

Hitting up the the One and Only Palmilla and worried that paparazzi might be trying to snap pictures of you and your friends (including Gerard Butler) celebrating your 41st birthday in bikinis?

Well if you're Jennifer Aniston, then you have nothing to worry about--the resort will pull out all the stops to ensure your privacy is safe.

SF Gate reports:

In an agreed TV interview with reporter Billy Bush, the actress pointed out the paparazzi boats out at sea, full of snappers who tried to get saucy shots of the star.

But resort staff, police and the local coast guard went beyond the call of duty to make sure the trip was a relaxing one.

She explains, "Our gang ... has been holding up these mirrors ... to sort of disrupt their photographs ... I think any guest who comes here would hope to have a little privacy. I think it's very nice."

Mariah Carey Performs for Nelson Mandela at One & Only Cape Town Opening

One & Only Resort has opened and despite the worldwide economic troubles, the luxury resort has decided to open with a serious bang--having Mariah Carey perform for Nelson Mandela at a private luncheon hosted today. Except that private luncheon including about 350 rich and famous folks. The official press release says:

Sol Kerzner (One and Only owner) introduced his 350 guests including: Mariah Carey, Thandie Newton, Marisa Tomei, Morgan Freeman, Sharon Stone, Robert DeNiro, Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon to the resort’s world renowned chefs, Gordon Ramsay and Nobu Matsuhisa.

The master ensemble of global musicians including Clint Eastwood’s son Kyle Eastwood on bass, legendary Dave Koz on saxophone; Jonathan Butler on guitar; the magnificent Patti Austin on vocals; Maceo Parker, formerly James Brown’s saxophone player, on sax; 6-year-old Cape Town percussion prodigy Daniel Peterson on drums and the amazing Hugh Masekela on Flugle & Trumpet performed an array of hits including “Fire & Rain,” “I’ll Take You There,” “Let’s Stay Together” and many more.

Naturally, a One & Only resort that opens with this much fanfare does not come cheap and we hardly expect room rates to be dropping anytime soon. Marina rooms begin at $540 a night and junior suites on one of the resort's two private harbour islands, begin at $1,770 a night.
