Do You Bert, Take Ernie?
12 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
With all the hoo-hah surrounding gay marriage being legalised in New York state in July, a petition has been started online to get long-time muppet ‘bro’s’ Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street to the marriage altar.
A couple of thousand people have indicated their desire to see the two hitched after a forty year TV bromance. Cue the religious right nearly exploding with fury… but a deeper question troubles this writer.

DSTV’s New ‘On-Demand’ Service Dies On Launch Day
23 Jul 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
As DSTV continues to bring out new technologies to disguise the fact that the actual content on Multichoice is a ball of shit, it is with the greatest sense of irony that their very own reality show is playing out and giving the true entertainment value we long for. Yes, it’s true. With all the […]

Nonhle Thema, No Longer A Vuzu TV Presenter… BOOM!
20 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Nonhle Thema single-handedly put tweeting excessively in CAPS LOCK and ellipsis back on the map. She has also spent the last month telling her Twitter followers exactly how awesome and untouchable she is… BOOM! But it turns out there might be such a thing as bad publicity after all. You see, M-Net’s Vuzu and Nonhle have apparently “mutually decided to put their on-screen relationship on hold.”

Dutch Reality Television Contestant Runs Host Over With Car [VIDEO]
07 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
A Dutch TV show looking for the “worst driver in the Netherlands” has found a clear winner. During filming of the last episode, this guy had to accelerate up to speed, apply the brake and swerve to miss a giant obstacle. Instead of breaking, he opted for accelerating – ploughing into the camera crew set up, hitting two people, including the host, and one parked car.

To Catch An Adulterer
30 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In the same way you don’t want to hear about a traffic officer being arrested for drunk driving, it’s rather disconcerting to hear about US television’s watchdog for sexual predators being caught on camera cheating on his wife with a much younger woman. But that’s what happened to Chris Hansen, host of NBC’s ‘To Catch A Predator’.

Check Out The Trailer For The New Ricky Gervais TV Show [VIDEO]
24 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It is decided. When I grow up I want to be Ricky Gervais – that funny guy who hosted the Emmy’s. He was also the creator (and star) of The Office and Extras. Anyway, he has a new TV show – Life’s Too Short – about to air in the UK. The plot appears to involve a dwarf. Several, actually. No, seriously! See trailer inside.

The Naked News Is Not Porn Says The BCCSA
22 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I have watched “The Naked News” but once and I really do not understand why people kicked up such a fuss. It’s simply a crappy magazine show, but with ugly naked chicks presenting it (except for the nerdy girl, she’s beautiful). Thankfully the Broadcasting Complaints Commission (BCCSA) has said that the show is not degrading to women.

Nonhle Tendencies: Social Media Doesn’t Work That Way
21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
So Nonhle Thema – from Vuzu reality show Nonhle Goes to Hollywood, and the former face of the Dark and Lovely brand – seems to be having a bit of a freak-out on Twitter. She’s eager to tell everybody that she is “young and RICH……….LOL…..DEAL WITH IT PLEASE…” Over and over again.

20 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The fourth season of True Blood kicks off in America on Sunday night, and it has a South African cast member! No, they haven’t written the tokoloshe into the plot (yet). But they have created a “French-speaking supernatural” who will be played by our very own homegirl, Nondumiso Tembe! And it is not just a once-off appearance…

19 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Top three American Idol finalist, Haley Reinart, took an embarrassing tumble on stage tonight during her sexy rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “What Is And What Should Never Be”. Randy Jackson thought the fall was a set up. And Steven Tyler, predictably, loved it.

Master Chef Judge Matt Moran “Loses” It on Set [VIDEO]
11 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This very cool viral video was produced by the team behind Australia’s Master Chef. You’ll see chef Matt Moran being filmed for a segment before losing his temper over a crew member throwing perfectly fine food into a bin. As you’ll see at the end, its all one big act, but with an important message: Don’t waste food!

Tony Blair’s Tenure As Prime Minister “Rendered Completely Useless” – Sam Delaney Discusses The Royal Wedding
01 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A lot of you will recognise Sam Delaney as the awfully funny guy that reads the newspaper headlines on SKY News with former 2oceansvibe guest, Charlotte Hawkins. I am not 100% sure on which exact day of the week Sam appears on SKY News, or whether his guest appearances are merely ad hoc, but when […]

Allan Lamb’s Daughter Auditions For Supersport [Video]
23 Apr 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
The blonde in the middle of that group-shot is cricket legend Allan Lamb‘s daughter, Katie-Ann. It was from a fundraiser shoot she did a couple years back, to raise awareness for breast cancer. Nice. Katie-Ann flew into Jo’burg from England especially to audition for Supersport’s new ‘Lady Rugga” vibe – in search of a female […]

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen – Adorably Racist [VIDEO]
01 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
We all watched that television series Full House when we were younger. We all loved it and it was one of the funniest and happiest times of our young television lives. The twins were, well, adorable and made us laugh out loud quite regularly, but they might need to explain this one.

Justin Bieber Gets Killed on CSI With EPIC Visuals [VIDEO]
09 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
You’ve probably heard the news that Justin Bieber appeared on an episode of CSI. What they didn’t tell you is that he looks exactly like a lesbian who got punched in the eye after losing a game of pool, and that he gets killed by the CSI cops. We’ve got spectacular visuals for both – after the break.

So we’ve managed to get extra info on this Clifton Shores project and it looks like (thankfully) the promo that was spotted online was shot over 17 months ago and was supposed to be seen as a call for castings when the show was casting over a year ago. I’m told that the current show […]

MK Awards 2011: The Good, The Bad, And The Winners
28 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Hundreds of skinny jeans walked around the CTICC on Saturday evening for the MK Awards – a first for Cape Town. But not everyone who attended thought it was awesome. Quote of the week: “Somewhere Jack Parow cannot be thinking that this mess was quite piele.”

M-Net Congratulates Award Winning Show By Cancelling It
24 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 9 Comments
After winning the award for best show in its category, you’d think M-Net would buy All Access a swish advertising billboard next to the N1, urging us all to watch this “award winning show!”. Instead rumours are surfacing that All Access and its demographically-flawed presenters might be cut.

MTV President Toffler: The Return Of Beavis and Butt-Head
17 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This morning’s headlines: The Berlusconi case keeps getting creepier and Hustler announce they’re developing Harry Potter porn, entitled “This Ain’t Harry Potter”. Wow, the return of Beavis and Butt-Head sounds remarkably savoury. Yup, they’re back and they’ll still be watching Whitesnake tribute music videos. Oh, and Jersey Shore.

15 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The South African Film And Television Awards (SAFTAS) honours the top performers and creative minds behind all the locally made shows you see on our television screens. Yet, in an ironic turn of events not one of the local channels will air these awards on an actual television.

TopTV Making People Scared And Angry
10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Look, no company is without it’s awkward infant stages, but TopTV is starting to abuse that privilege. When they launched last year no one answered the phone at their call centre. Then all their customers received an unscrambled TV signal – even the ones who didn’t pay their subscriptions. The latest balls-up involves people paying for TopTV who aren’t even subscribed to the broadcaster.

It’s always great when your buddies are out there doing it in a big way, and I’m sure local creatives would also be interested to know that my buddy Colin Jeffery (The Advertising Guy – ex King James) is Creative Director at David&Goliath in LA, who shot the highly acclaimed “One Epic Ride” SuperBowl commercial […]
