A supermarket in Arkansas has caused a stir by placing a ‘family shield’ in front of the US Weekly cover which features Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, cradling their adopted baby boy. NSFW if your screen is within the vicinity of small homophobic children.
The producers of Idols South Africa have let Mara Louw go after three seasons of racist slur, violent outbursts, faux couture and drunken shenanigans. Boy, that was fun. She was the single judge who could always be counted on to do something unscripted and rash at around the 40 minute mark of every episode. What do we do now?
A woman in Argentina flung herself off the top of a 23-story hotel, but her suicide attempt was unluckily thwarted when she landed on a taxi cab, thereby prolonging her life. The lesson being, if you ever find yourself plummeting towards the earth, try locate an empty taxi and get into the ‘bum-first’ position, unless you actually want to commit suicide.
LA Noire is Grand Theft Auto in 1940s Los Angeles. Awesome. Well, Rockstar have announced a release date for my fellow nerds and I and provided a new trailer to accompany it. The countdown to the latest sandboxing, abuse-hurling, road-raging and gun-slinging title is on and we have the trailer for you right after the jump. On dad.
This short time lapse film of Cape Town was put together by Silver Bullet productions, and it is pretty stunning. Everyone knows that Cape Town is aesthetically beautiful, and when it comes to its treatment on film, this beauty can be to its detriment. This film shows Cape Town through a darker, gorgeous lens.
Over the last few days many a report has been circulating claiming that the great proponent of Zimbabwean democracy and all round nice guy Robert Mugabe may be on the dying-side of things. Mugabe’s illness was reported by Britain’s Daily Telegraph; apparently he is in Malaysia, recovering from having the old prostate removed.
Our very own version of Playboy is hunting for its first playmate. If you didn’t catch the interview with the local editor, Peter Piegl, on 2oceansvibe Radio at the end of last year, Playboy South Africa is launching in April. So laydezz do the right thing and send in your photo, it’s the patriotic thing to do. Details after the jump.
Hang on a tick. I thought that calling anybody a loser was the prerogative of the person doing the loser calling. Not so, according to Mr C. Ngcukana, viewer of e.tv’s Justice Factor.
By now you would have noticed, looking at the magazine covers to the left of the page, that the February issue of GQ (UK Edition), features none other than the Victoria’s Secret supermodels. More to the point, it includes our very own Candice Swanepoel! We did the right thing and got you the pics from […]
Man about town and real man’s man, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is in trouble again. But luckily this time it’s only because he (allegedly) slept with a 17-year-old.
Alright, so that title may be pushing it, especially considering that the world #2 hasn’t claimed his first ASP World Tour title yet (clue: he will, this year), but with pro surf photographer Ant Fox, Seth and Bruce Good in attendance, it was a pretty darn fine interview.

Alright so we’ve got our hands on a preview for the Fight Club Musical. You know they’re making a Fight Club musical, right? Jared Leto’s comment on the whole affair is, “It smells like disaster, but it could be genius.” We’re undecided at this point.
Did you manage to catch this month’s House & Leisure magazine? It’s their 200th issue and I must say, it’s an absolute cracker! Were you aware that they were voted the best home and decor mag in South Africa? True story.
Speaking of stories, check out the one circled on the cover – follow link to enlarge.

Google’s logo mutations are mostly spot on. For Easter they gooi some bunnies. When there’s pumpkins and draculas you know it’s Halloween. Bobsleds, Winter Olympics. It’s not always pretty but most times it makes sense so what in the name of everything holy, clear and sacred do our friends over at Google mean by this one?
If someone had told you that the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, and late night talk show king, David Letterman had parodied ANCYL[biters] president, Julius Malema, you would not have believed them.
Independent Newspapers has been providing us with little gems of unintentional wordplay for years now. And when they’re not reporting that X politician has been fingered by Y investigative body (how many times could you withstand that kind of interrogation before you cracked?), they’re making pictorial gaffs. Please enjoy this little piece of joy.
Unicycling has arguably been around since there have been wheels and chairs. That’s just science. Charity has been around for a pretty long time too. So it’s fitting that these two ancient disciplines would come together in the Counter Balance ‘Freedom Revolution Tour,’ which is raising funds to provide disadvantaged school kids with shoes.
We pulled out some vinyl in the 2oceansvibe Radio studio the other day and found ourselves playing We Will Rock You by Queen. My Friday co-host, Bruce, reminded me of the old classic Sun City TV commercial, which used the same song. My Twitter friends helped find the video. Check it out – epic!
The face of news is changing on a daily basis. It really has to. For as long as people have communicated, the basic premise of news has been one person asking another, “Tell me something new and interesting.” One person’s “new and interesting” may not be another’s news. News24 is very aware of this fact.
No, I am not pushing it with that headline. This is for real. Chamona! Game Software developers, Ubi Soft, have introduced a novel (and thoroughly heart-warming) anti-piracy measure into the Nintendo DS version of Michael Jackson: The Experience – vuvuzelas. That’s right. Copy this game at your own aural risk.
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – 29 November 2010: Former Big Brother celebrity Bradford Wood at the Benoni Magistrate court in Johannesburg, South Africa, where he was granted bail for his alleged role in the death of several illegal miners on 29 November 2010. Wood and four others face murder charges after four illegal miners were shot […]
Today’s 2oceansvibe Radio line up is pretty spicy.
We have the Dirty Skirts in at 09h30, chased by the editor of Playboy South Africa, washed down with a little Sex In The Mother City with Doctor D. It’s basically all about prescribed psychotherapeutic drugs, sex, and rock n’ roll on 2oceansvibe Radio this morning.
The Cosmopolitan Summer Fashion show and after-party is one of the most anticipated and sexiest events of the year. It has to be said that with the myriad of invites sent to 2oceansvibe, this is one we would never (and have never) turn down! And now you can become a part of it too! Follow […]
Springbok coach Peter de Villiers generously made special provision for an interview with 2oceansvibe Radio’s Seth Rotherham and Bruce Good ahead of the test between South Africa and Sotland at Murrayfield on November the 20th. You can listen to all of the high-pitched enthusiasm here, right now.
Jeez, don’t hate us ‘cos we interviewed one of the godfathers of rap on 2oceansvibe Radio. Regular listeners have become quite used to this vibe – Plush today, Spud yesterday (with Arno Carstens), Simon Le Bon the other day. It’s endless. But for now, check out this interview Chuck D did with our lunch hosts, Luca & Josie!
We’re certainly no stranger to the clustercuss that is Kanye West. We’ve recently discussed the banning of his questionable album cover and now we bring you the interview that caused his media trainer to quit after just three days on the job.
It didn’t take long for the inevitable parodies of our Mr South Africa hero, Adriaan Bergh, to start travelling the interwebs. While this latest Mr South Africa wannabe certainly has potential, he unfortunately lacks the fifth and most important characteristic that we look for in a Mr South Africa which is, of course, access to a golf cart.
Chris Nolan, auteur behind the no-longer-embarassing Batman franchise, has started gearing up for the third installment of the rebooted series – The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently Nolan wants two female leads this time, just to rub it in Katie Holmes’ face. Potential candidates and gallery after the jump.
Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear team give us an exclusive look into what really goes into the making of The Stig. Come and take a tour around the Stig farm and get to see what really goes on behind the scenes as they reveal The New Stig.
Rockstar Games have released a debut trailer for their latest open-worlder: L.A. Noire. The game is set to be released in American Spring 2011 and will offer a different experience for those who enjoy blundering about a virtual map shouting obscentities, while waxing lyrical with a friend about bashing an elderly bystander’s head in with the back of a stolen car.
