The Walking Dead: Because We Needed More Zombies
09 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Zombies are everywhere. They’re in your movies, in your video games, in your Jane Austen, in your head (in your head) – and then some brilliant young mind decided that we needed a zombie-based television series. Wonderful – way to keep those fresh ideas coming. Except The Walking Dead might be the franchise to put this whole ‘undead’ craze to rest for a while.

The BBC has a new show called The Trip, which features two of Britain’s greatest comedians, Gavin & Stacey’s Rob Brydon and Alan Partridge’s Steve Coogan. In this clip, the two try to outdo each other with their Michael Caine impressions and the result is further proof that no one does comedy quite like the Brits.

Fake Time Travel To Get Out Of The Friend Zone [VIDEO]
09 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
‘So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway’ is pretty descriptive, as titles go. You probably don’t need much more to go by than that. It’s funny and you should watch it. The fireman here knows what I’m talking about.

Is Tanit Phoenix The New Wonder Woman?
05 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
While I was originally stoked to find out that Wonder Woman was making a return to the silver screen and then gutted to learn that the project had been downgraded to TV, my opinion of the project has once again been swung by reports that our Tanit Phoenix is in talks to get the leading role.

The Wolf Of Wall Street LIVE In The 2ov Radio Studio This Morning
29 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Some might say he is a villain, to others he is a hero. Say what you want about Jordan Belfort – his story is phenomenal.

Fill in the gaps with yachts, jets, parties, drugs and high-class hookers. Catch him live on-air this morning! Follow link to tune in.

Five-Year Old Behind Axe Cop Comic
28 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Axe Cop is different to every other comic, if for nothing else than it’s written by Malachai Nicolle, whose name probably means nothing to you because he is only five years old! With characters like Avocado Man and Dinosaur Soldier, it’s a shoe-in to become my new favourite thing.

The BBC Gets A Gritty Reboot
25 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

US GQ Editor Defends Sexy Glee Photoshoot
22 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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..

GQ’s Best Dressed Man In South Africa – Big Thanks To GQ And PopYaCollar
21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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!

Right To Know Campaign On 2oceansvibe Radio
19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
If you value your freedom of speech, you may want to get involved in voicing your disapproval against The Man’s attempts to throw a black curtain over every mote of data it feels tetchy about. If you couldn’t be bothered to pipe up, then I suppose you won’t be losing much in the transition to a police state, anyhow. That’s right kids, we’re talking about the Secrecy Bill.

Remember An Inconvenient Truth? You watched it, right? This may shock you, but the vast majority of the planet we live on is constituted of aquatic environments, and inhabited by aquatic species. A new film premiering in South Africa later this month, The End Of The Line, is An Inconvenient Truth for the ocean. [VIDEO]

Is The D’oh Catholic?
19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Simpsons have been hiding a religious agenda, apparently. Sunday’s edition of L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily broadsheet, declared that ”Not many people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it. But it’s true, Homer J. Simpson is Catholic.” I guess drawing conclusions from nonexistent evidence isn’t entirely new to the region.

At a glittering function, coincidentally held at Seth’s Johannesburg residence, The Westcliff Hotel, GQ last night hosted the Best Dressed Men In SA Awards.

15 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ed Chamberlin is Sky Sports’ elite football presenter. That’s right, he’s a pretty big name on British telly.

In a story with the headline I’ve waited my whole life to write, the future Mr Katy Perry has been referred to as “pointless” by one of Britain’s most celebrated talk show hosts and, perhaps most crushingly, had his talents compared to those of an acting dog.

Dutch Man Needs Toilet On TV [VIDEO]
14 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Dutch are an interesting bunch and certainly do have a unique sense of humour. In this case it is hard to tell whether the guy needing the loo is a prankster or not. He’s either a legend or an idiot. Either way, it doesn’t matter – the result is hilarious. Check out the video after the jump.
