Heidi Klum is really, really into Halloween. Which isn’t surprising, given that Halloween is when people dress up in revealing costumes for candy, and her career is pretty much dressing up in revealing costumes for money. Except she went non-traditional at her annual Halloween party in Las Vegas, dressing as a terrifying skinless body.
CTV is Cape Town’s only community television station. But so far only viewers with an aerial that’s in the line-of-sight of Tygerberg could actually watch the channel. That all changed yesterday as they launched a 24-hour live stream, embedded on their website – taking their content global.
Marie Claire‘s Body Issue is on sale. Check out the cover. 2oceansVibe favourite and St Anne’s Old Girl, Candice Swanepoel is absolutely killing it. The issue, which is already on sale, has come in for some stick from a number of “social commentators”, who have claimed that the use of Candice Swanepoel as the cover […]
G-Star RAW in the V&A Waterfront went all out with their new denim launch for this summer.

What makes G-Star’s denim stand out above any […]
It turns out publishing classified diplomatic files online isn’t all that lucrative! Whistle blowing site, WikiLeaks has announced that they’re pausing their publishing process to concentrate on raising funds. Julian Assange claims that the financial “blockade” mounted by Visa, MasterCard and other companies, has forced Wikileaks to “temporarily suspend its publishing operations and aggressively fundraise.”
Sometimes, taking a loved one, or a potential loved one, on a scenic drive and stop-off along either the Table Mountain or Signal Hill roads, is quite a winner. Romantics, be aware, the roads have now been closed to unauthorised vehicles, between 22h00 and 05h00, in an attempt to prevent crimes from occurring around these charming routes.
Boschendal has cleaned up rather nicely at this year’s Wine Makers’ Choice competition. Hot on the heels of winning the Best Vintage Cap Classique, the Grande Cuvée Brut 2007 scooped a coveted Diamond Award at the 2011 WMC. Cheers to that. The Grande Cuvée Brut 2007 is one of only three Cap Classique Sparkling […]
More specifically, Iranian actress Marzieh Vafamehr was sentenced to 90 lashes for starring in “My Tehran For Sale,” a movie about how Iran mistreats its actresses.

Cape Town Tourism chiefs are grinning from ear to ear this week as they smugly proclaimed that just after filling Greenpoint stadium last Wednesday night, UK alt rock sensation Coldplay applied to the City authorities to record a new music video in and around the Mother City, as well as in the Klein Karoo.
One of 2oceansVibe’s most celebrated Weather Girls, Genevieve Morton (see her award-winning Weather Girls video here), has been chosen as the cover girl for the latest Sports Illustrated swimwear issue. I can’t say I’m overly surprised, but I thought we’d interview Gen for the 2oceansVibers out there. Click ‘continue reading’ to read the interview and […]
If you live in Cape Town, chances are pretty good that you’d have come across a Charly’s Bakery creation. And things are about to get even sweeter!

Terms and conditions: we never read them, but we know we know should.

An unidentified male has survived attack by a shark at Fish Hoek beach, South of Cape Town, the National Sea Rescue Institute reports. Tweets by journalists Paula Chowles and Dan Calders indicate that the man is in a critical condition, and is being treated at the scene. The victim was swimming at the time of […]
I don’t answer private numbers. Nor do a lot of people I know. But a lot of them haven’t reached my elite level. The “elite communicator” level is where you find yourself when you have absolutely zero curiosity as to who might be calling. You’re over it. You’re so far gone, that you only answer […]
A guy from Volunteer Wildfire Services emailed me. His name is Michael Brandt. No spice. More than enough reason to show you this flyer. We at VWS Jonkershoek will be holding our second Fire & Fynbos Awareness Day on the 25th September 2011. Our focus is once again on creating awareness of what our volunteer […]
I was reading Esquire magazine this weekend on my iPad 2 (get the Zinio app for magazine reading) and stumbled upon this pic of Candice Swanepoel, as she continues the practice of dropping napalm everywhere she goes. Thought you might “like”. Click here to see our past Candice Swanepoel posts.
Hoo. So American Apparel wanted to inaugurate the introduction of an XL size into their clothing range by holding an online model search for plus-sized women to promote the new threads. Enter Nancy Upton, who, offended by the contest, sent in photos of herself gorging on ice-cream on her kitchen floor. And then won.
We already have the Regulation of Interception of Communication Act (Rica), and as the ad hoc committee from Parliament yesterday adopted the controversial Protection of Information Bill after nearly a year of deliberations, we might now also see the decryption of BlackBerry messages become a reality.
It’s not just feature films that are receiving the re-make treatment these days, but also classic TV series. This week we take a look at the latest outing for crime-busting trio (or should that be ‘busty’?), Charlie’s Angels.
We’re not sure who’s behind this raging torrent of satire, but our first guess is that they’re Capetonian. The hitlist includes food writer Dax Villanueva, The Power and the Glory, The Roundhouse, and Beluga. Eina. Find the link, after the jump.
We live in a progressive city here in Cape Town – we like to think out of the box. And that’s just what Kristin van der Hoven has done by launching Proud Hounds Doggie Daycare in the city. Sick of leaving your precious pup at home while you’re at work? Then bring it to Kristin and the crew for the day.
Things have just gone from rad to awesome! I was in my element when I heard that Ard Matthews had secured Dan Nicholl as the MC for the “Ard Matthews & Friends” charity concert being held on Thursday night. But now they go and announce that one times Jack Parow will be joining the likes […]
A new film that seeks to portray the life of Lady Margaret Thatcher has a fair amount of people hot under the collar. Directed by Mamma Mia! director, Phyllida Lloyd, the film shows Lady Thatcher constantly hallucinating, under the impression that her husband, who died in 2003, is still alive, while she herself appears to be going senile.
Ard Matthews’ annual live charity event, in association with MyLife, is back again! Another star-studded show will be taking place on Thursday August 25 at the Upper East Side Hotel. I’m sure those of you who went last year will be back again – as you know just how much fun the evening is! 2oceansvibe […]
With Candice Swanepoel being the only South African model to become a bona fide Victoria’s Secret angel, we have pledged to let you know what she is up to as much as possible. This time it’s a secret shoot that she did on St. Barts, for VS. It’s really cool so follow the link for […]
USA’s heavyweight champion of the media and marketing world, Bob Garfield, will be stepping into the ring to inspire and incite a South African audience at the upcoming Digital Edge Live showdown on 14 October.
Australian artist and ‘body architect’ Lucy McRae, in collaboration with Harvard biologist Sheref Mansy, is releasing these little digestible capsules that make human skin emit perfume scents. Which is nice and futuristic, I think. And by futuristic I mean I have no idea how this thing works.
As lawmakers await a verdict on the controversial Dräger breathalyser test, expected next month, the Western Cape government is still cracking down on drunk driving. Hard. No less than 65 drunk driving arrests were made over the weekend in Cape Town alone.
We purposely didn’t mention The TBG in that headline. As snow AND The TBG is a bit too much to handle at one time. But now that I’ve eased you into it, it kind of makes sense. Someone was trying to test The TBG and they untio him, “Can you make it rain?” That’s when […]
“Boom.” Of course, there can only be one reason for this unusual meteorological blessing: The TBG is on the Mountain. Coincidence? I think not. Come on. Don’t be silly. [Headline image source:tablemountain]
