With the help of modern technology, I was able to jet into the future and conduct an interview with SA celebrities, Jeannie D and Loyiso! This interview should only be for publication in 2050, but I thought I would give you a taste anyway! And my goodness, have things changed around here! It seems Jeannie […]
‘Muggle Quidditch:’ A bunch of dudes and ladies run around in capes and goggles with broomsticks between their legs while throwing balls at mounted hoops. This is an official sport, with a World Cup in November. Feel free to take a moment to weep now.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I sat in a mid-priced family car outside a pub. Having read the AA Guide to Southern England, and finished my bag of crisps and bottle of Coke, I waited patiently for my parents..
Thousands of politically-minded Kiwis have come out in protest to prevent production of the Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit, from moving out of New Zealand. I understand completely – I went through the same thing when my parents made me stop wearing my wizard outfit to school.
It has been made pretty public that Mel is not chuffed that he lost is role in The Hangover 2 to Liam Neeson. But just how many roles have the big names lost without us knowing about it?

Here we have Galifianakis getting interviewed by radio host Gordon Keith to promote It’s Kind Of A Funny Story – and the awkward pauses and non sequiturs should be familiar to those of you keeping up with your 2oceans assignments.
With The Hangover 2 being filmed I thought it only appropriate that we get to know a bit more about the main actor Zach Galifianakis. Meet his twin brother, Seth Galifianakis.
The BBC has long been regarded as the calm and steady hand guiding the British public. Its objective, measured approach to the news has long been its appeal.
In an attempt to change the public’s perception of them, one of their senior reporters goes absolutely mental on a protesters sign.
Simon Burrow writes this book review from his home in Menerbes, somewhere in the Luberon Valley – Provence: Long ago when men were men, ladies were ladies and journalists were real wordsmiths, Normal Canale was at his peak.
In a career spanning five decades, Canale was a pioneer tabloid journo. Expert in rugby and boxing (he called it the ‘sweet science’), in particular, Norman Canale sold newspapers. Canale lived with the characters, he ate and breathed them. He drank with them.
We love mary jane. Spider-Man loves Mary Jane. We love Spider-Man. In particular, we love Emma Stone, the angel from Zombieland and Superbad, who’ll be playing Peter Parker’s love interest in the rebooted Spider-Man film.
There are some pictures of her. You might want to keep your web shooters handy.

Steve Carell and Chris Rock's Special Auction Items Pt. 2 | ||||
|
What could be better than having Chris Rock verbally abuse your ex for breaking up with you? Nothing! Especially when he begins with, “You dirty motherf_ _ _er…”
Many of you will know Chris Achola from Caprice, but little did you know he has quietly been working on ‘POZnews,’ the country’s first health magazine focusing on infectious diseases. The magazine aims to educate and inform those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Marketers and advertisers are urged to book for the launch of this breakthrough publication. Taj hotel, Thursday 18h30. Follow link for contact details.
For those of you who weren’t aware, the Whisky Live Festival is the biggest of its kind in the world. That’s how much we dig our whisky, here in South Africa. It runs from Wednesday 3 to Friday 5 November in Cape Town, and Wednesday 10 to Saturday 13 November in Johannesburg. You have no excuse to miss this incredible event – especially when we are giving away massive daily prizes and VIP packages, courtesy of Jack Daniel’s! Follow the link to find out more..
Mel Gibson has been understandably quiet recently. Just as soon as he was announced as having a cameo in the sequel to 2009’s The Hangover, the actor has been dropped from the role because the cast and crew hate him.
5fm’s Gareth Cliff’s letter to the government has attracted quite a bit of attention over the past few days, with only an excerpt published here and there. We have managed to get hold of the entire letter and thought you would like to see it in its entirety – especially those of you who struggle with searching on the internet. Bless you. Gareth’s letter after the jump.
“Drunkorexia” – a combination of starving yourself and bingeing on alcohol as a means of not gaining weight. Destructive yet genius at the same time…
Last week’s Antimov competition challenged amateur engineers to build robots that broke one of the Three Laws or Robotics – which you’d know if you’d read I, Robot (nerd) or saw that movie where Will Smith had the robot arm. No, the robot arm was not called Eva Mendez.
Well now I’ve seen it all. Seriously? A 5-year-old proposing to a 3 year old? I just wonder how this made the news, who would take it seriously?
This is hysterical. The US ‘Parents Television Council” (God help us all) has slammed the latest US GQ Magazine for publishing pictures which “border on pedophilia.” And I assure you it’s not to do with the cover! The gaggle of bored ultra-conservatives were referring to a photo shoot the legendary magazine did with the cast of Glee, a high-school-musical type series that is probably also showing on local screens (I wouldn’t know – but can confirm it is on Apple TV). Follow the link for more on the story + all the pics..
The End Of The Line is this year’s most vaunted environmental documentary. Brought to South Africa by Investec, the internationally-acclaimed film is a stark and uncompromising look at our systematic pillaging of our oceans, the effects of which will hit us harder and sooner than we anticipated. 2oceansvibe Radio will be chatting to the film’s producer and author of the book by the same name, Charles Clover, as well as giving away ten tickets to the film. Details after the jump.
The sudden appearance of a crocodile onboard a routine flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo led to the plane crashing, killing 20. Only one passenger survived the crash, along with the crocodile; the crocodile was then killed with a machete. We’re not sure why this movie hasn’t been made yet.
As you may have noticed, the classic turntable and vinyl records are back! Any search on the net for Rega turntables will return rave reviews and place it in the highest order for home turntables. 2oceansvibe Radio is luckily enough to have the Rega P3 turntable in the studio (courtesy of i-fi.co.za – located in the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village) and even more amazing is the interview we have managed to secure with founder and owner, Roy Gandy. The interview will be conducted by SA Rock legend, Rupert Mellor (McCully Workshop). Oh, and YES, we will be playing some vinyl on air! Follow link for times and instructions how to tune in!
A massive thank you to GQ for bestowing the Best Dressed Man In South Africa award. We touched on it earlier on in the week, but didn’t get a chance to get the pics up (for my mum to see, to tell the truth). You can check them all out in the November issue which has dual covers – one of Christina Aguilera, and one of football genius, Jose Mourinho. So, in the meantime, here is one they took as I realised my fly was down. Whoops!
A student has reinvented the good old Rick-roll in one of the best ways imaginable by turning his essay into the classic bait and switch meme from a few years ago. Check out the essay after the jump.
Ex-pats and poms alike should be aware that The Blonde and Baby Jesus are blessing Great Britain with their presence in just over a week. That’s right, my love, Goldfish are coming to London – and it’s gonna be a MASSIVE gig! The show is so close to being sold-out that I shifted this article forward by one week. Best you move.

Two French students, calling themselves the ‘Niqabitches,’ have posted a video of themselves strolling through Paris wearing the niqab with hot pants and high heels, in protest of France’s recent burka ban. They seem like very nice young ladies.
