Boring Is The New Bling
02 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The finance minister Pravin Gordhan is not someone you’d want to take to the U2 concert. He might allow a brief period of foot tapping during one of their 80’s classics, but mostly he’d be working out how much the tour had swelled the country’s coffers and observe the discretionary spending habits of the assembled revellers.
That’s why he’s the head bean counter, and long may that last.

Wearing ‘Shameless’ Suit Turns Your Life Into High-Class Porn
01 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…

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. Which is probably why ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ became a bestseller the moment it went to print. He was a multimillionaire at 26 and was in jail at 36. 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.

Layman Money Talk: Is The Rand Overvalued?
26 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
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..

New Zealand Clings To Its Rich Fantasy Life
26 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

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.

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.

You know that feeling when you get into the car after having a few too many? Don’t deny it, you know you have done it. You turn the corner and wham, there’s a road block! There is no adrenalin quite like that. So would it help if they did away with the drunk-driving laws?

India’s Richest Businessman Moves Into Modest Family Home
15 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
An Indian businessman, the country’s richest, has moved in his humble new residence which sports panoramic views of the Mumbai slums, allowing him to literally look down on the poor. The property is valued at a cool six-point-eight-billion-rand, which, experts agree, is roughly one metric shit-ton of cash.
Let’s have a quick look at the highlights.

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.
