Today, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of that pop-culture moment by taking a look back at the video that started it all. Here, for your enjoyment, is the school-uniform outfit that made school uniforms sexy again.
We all remember Jeniffer Lawrence from The Hunger Games, right? You know, Jeniffer Lawrence. The girl-next-door who made it big and wouldn’t talk to a normal guys like us anymore. Just how big did she make it? Face of Dior big – she’s stepping into a role that was played by the likes of Charlize Theron and Natalie Portman before her.
It’s not often that you find a video clip of a rapper that besmirches his gangsta image. But some brave soul recently leaked a video of 50 Cent auditioning for a role in Denzel Washington’s 2007 drama, American Gangster – a movie about drug kingpin Frank Lucas and his rise to power.
Just imagine a situation where he comes home to his stunning lady, drops his boots on the floor and says,”Honey, I want to make underwear for boys.” Really? Anyway, regardless of his motivations for starting the line, the real beauty here is the tweet he sent out last night about a competition for his new CR7 boys underwear.
Keen observers of Kanye West will no doubt have noted his slightly obsessive personality. One particularly spoilt object of his obsession happens to be Kim Kardashian, his fiancee. Yes, they are now engaged. Yes, Kanye went completely overboard. Yes, this is yet more proof that Kardashian does not deserve West. For starters, he rented out […]
Oh why, oh why, oh why?! At a stretch, we can understand the hordes of screaming girls, the international acclaim and the vast amounts of money he gets paid – but to make a fully grown man spend over a million rand to look like a 19 year-old boy? That’s just wrong, Bieber. Just plain wrong.
Yeezus! Has Kanye finally overstepped the line, pushed the boundaries a little too far? Mr West kicked off his highly anticipated Yeezus tour in Seattle last week, and did so in typically controversial style, when he invited 12 dancing disciples, a red-eyed demon, and Jesus on stage with him.
Pop news fans are drooling for Vanity Fair’s threatened Gwyneth Paltrow ‘take down’ piece – hitting shelves very soon. This comes after she was bust telling people not to cooperate with the magazine. Here are some possible angles for the story..
For those who need reminding – Jenna Jameson is probably the world’s most famous porn star. Known as “The Queen of Porn”, Jameson shot to fame in the early 90’s, played a large part in making the Los Angeles porn scene as big as it is today,and was immortalised in wax in Madame Tussaud’s . Sadly, she hung up her… um… boots about 10 years ago, and has since then focused on becoming an entrepreneur and author. That’s right, author.
Sneaky sources inside Hollywood have confirmed that Miley Cyrus is dating Theo Wenner. You know, Theo Wenner? Liv Tyler’s ex-boyfriend? The son of Rolling Stones magazine owner Jann Wenner? Okay, fine, no one knows who he is – but now he’s dating one the pop industries biggest names. Look, it could be worse. At least it isn’t Uncle Terry.
If you’re expecting the iPad 5 to be a revolutionary device that will change the way we do everything – think again. Yes, it will be new, and nice, and sexy and you will want one – but like the release of the iPhone 5s, Apple has taken the “evolution rather than revolution” approach – which can be summarised in three words: thinner, smaller, lighter.
There’s a lot of noise going on about Zac Efron’s naked butt in the trailer for his upcoming movie ‘That Awkward Moment’. Having burst onto the scene in his time at High School Musical, it was only a matter of time before he, like so many other child stars, got naked on camera for the enjoyment of his adoring public.
#NoFilter – usually a hashtag that inspires hatred towards the poster (“What, are we supposed to clap because you took a photo and then did nothing with it and then showed it to us?”). In this case though, that simple hashtag was enough to get Kanye West home, immediately.
Bad Lip Reading started small, as a humble YouTube channel that gently poked fun by dubbing over the audio of videos, and saying what it looked like the person in question was saying. But they have now taken on a totally different challenge, trying to string together a movie-length narrative from the first few seasons of Game of Thrones. You absolutely have to see how these guys have totally, utterly and profoundly altered Game of Thrones forever.
On that fateful day that Miley twerked, foam-fingered and tongue-rolled her way into infamy, it seemed as if the whole world had turned on the once-innocent teen-pop sensation. That was until Paul McCartney came to the rescue.
Aaah, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For 40 years it has stood on the North Coast Harbour of Cleveland, Ohio – a shining beacon of Rock and Roll, celebrating the lives and achievements of the genre’s most influential figures. Every year it is obliged to induct a few more Rock heroes, and this year is no different. Here are the nominees for 2014.
Joburg has already had their taste of Rihanna, and now it’s Cape Town’s turn. And if you’ve been in Cape Town long enough, you’ll realise just how much impact a huge gig such as this will have on the roads around the stadium. With that in mind, here’s a few tips on how to get in and get out as smoothly as possible.
Will Ferrell has done it again in his new mini-series, “Spoils of Babylon”. Produced by Ferrell’s own Funny or Die label, it is a truly weird adaptation of a non-existent novel by Eric Jonrosh. Ferrell does play a major part in the series, but only as the voice of Jonrosh. He appears later, however, as the Shah of Iran. Quality.
Why did the Bieber go to China? To make a new music video, obviously. Earlier this month, there were a few photos going around of Justin being hauled up the Great Wall of China by his bodyguards, sitting on their shoulders like some sort of Roman Emperor. Now a video of the music video has been leaked online – cue the screaming.
There’s no question that Eminem has had a rough ride throughout his life – always at odds with how he coped with the atrocities of his early life, and how he managed his new life in the spotlight. He took a four-year hiatus after releasing Encore in 2004, and his two most recent albums Relapse and Recovery, were a bit hit and miss, with many fans claiming to have lost the real slim shady.
Joost van der Westhuizen has had his fair share of controversy. Well, maybe more than his fair share. Actually, no, this oke has been embroiled in more controversy than most men – and today it got just a little worse.
Last night Ricky Gervais took to the stage to perform songs as David Brent for the first time. Sipping a can of beer in between songs, Brent performed the 40-minute set to a rapturous crowd of over 500 people. Tickets to the gig sold out in 60 seconds, and included celebrities like Professor Green. Here’s […]
Love him or hate him – you have to admire Jon Bon Jovi for walking an Australian fan down the aisle in Vegas recently. Somehow this Australian lady, Branka, managed to get a message across Bon Jovi – who just happened to be in Vegas that week for his performance at the MGM Grand. And you know what, they guy actually did it.
Sir Anthony Hopkins was a little behind the pace when it came to watching the final episode of Breaking Bad, but after what he called a “marathon” of Breaking Bad, Sir Anthony took it upon himself to write Bryan Cranston some fan-mail. He described Cranston’s acting as, “the best acting I have seen – ever”, high praise from the Hannibal Lecter himself.
You best believe that when Will Smith is filming out in far-flung locations, he ain’t going to the local motel to spend his nights. No sir. Being the only actor to have had 8 films gross over $100 million – he could afford to make sure that wherever he filmed, he knew he had a […]
Right, so – Sandra Bullock. Whether you watched her in Miss Congeniality, Princess Diaries or 28 Days (or in any other of her countless movies that stretch all the way from the 80’s) you’d have a hard time denying her awesomeness. And now it’s gonna get even harder, as she recently broke it down on the Jonathan Ross show – rapping better than most.
I dropped a line to Baby Jesus and The Blonde from Goldfish this weekend, asking where the hell their new album is. ‘It drops on Monday’ replied Baby Jesus, en route to Amsterdam (#normal). ‘Send that shit my way,’ I insisted. So here it is gang – their new album, ‘Three Second Memory..’
You see – even superstars use public transport. Jay Z, Chris Martin and Timbaland decided to take the tube to their show at the O2 Arena in London this weekend, as a part of Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail Tour. Check out these pics snapped by some lucky commuters at Waterloo station.
Nechama Brodie (who commonly writes for Africa Check) has penned an extensive analysis of crime data in South Africa in response to South African pop singer and occasional ‘7de Laan’ villain, Steve Hofmeyr’s repeated claims that white people in South Africa are suffering a genocide at the hands of black compatriots.
Looks like Jusie-wusie is growing up. It has been a whole six days since Bieber posted a shirtless shot, and apparently he managed to cut a six pack in that time. Said six pack now has close to one million likes. If you’d like to see what a child’s face on the body of a juvenile detention inmate looks like, scroll down.
