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.

Tiny Homes, Bigger Cars: Why This Curse Of Progress Needs To End
21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I am concerned. There’s an alarming trend that I’ve noticed, and it’s all getting a bit out of control. Every new generation of vehicles emerges fatter than the last. I drove a new Opel Astra last month which barely scraped into my garage. An Astra. It’s hardly a monster truck. Yet every new property development I’ve encountered is essentially a maze of shoeboxes. Are we forgetting the ultimate luxury?

Where Are All The Good Comedians?
21 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 56 Comments
Who told Loyiso Gola that he is funny? I need answers. How did he come to have a comedy TV show, and why is the country putting up with this gigantic farce? People even follow him on Twitter. Why?! What is so appealing about having an alarmingly round face shout inanities at you in caps lock? I’m serious – I need to know. Am I the loony one here? [click link to read column]

Those of you who read the daily Morning Spice headlines, will remember that on Friday last week, we told you about a posh brawl which broke out at this year’s Royal Ascot, the most famous of English horse racing events.

South African’s just love their Blackberrys, and annoyingly rave about how cool they are, and constantly put their Blackberry pins up on Facebook, saying, “Just got my BB. Add me guys!” But RIM, the company that makes the annoying device, seems to be in quite the spot of bother.

Sicilian Mafia Goes Green
14 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Wind farms are big business in Italy, and the sun-soaked and wind-swept island of Sicily is no exception. Hardly surpising then, that the Sicilian mafia has cottoned on to the idea of harnessing wind and is cashing in on the green movement too.

Diary Of An Exhausted Arsenal Fan
13 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s been a weird sort of season. How do you reconcile the fact that Arsenal beat Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona in the last six months of the season with the fact that in the exact same period they lost to third-rate Bolton Wanderers, Stoke City and Birmingham City? How do we come to terms with both the heady highs and the unrelenting lows, like the crushing defeat to Birmingham in the Carling Cup Final and the astonishing 4-4 draw to Newcastle United which effectively ended our title hopes? What does one say of the beautiful football, the young talent and complete lack of any sort of silverware in the last six seasons?

13 Jun 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
The trouble started when Richard Moore started sending unwelcome gifts and chocolates to Ashley Alford, demanding “sucky-sucky” in return. But Ashley never gave her manager any sucky-sucky.

Lock And Load – Morrey’s Corner
10 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Looking at the lock forwards that Peter de Villiers should take to the World Cup is a quick and easy discussion. Victor Matfield and Andries Bekker cover the number five jersey / four-jumper position as arguably the two best lineout options in world rugby, while Bakkies Botha and Dannie Rossouw should be named as your two-jumpers in the four jersey. But what about Juan?

News Reader FAIL – Drops F-Bomb Live On TV [VIDEO]
10 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
All this newsreader had to say was, “more teens are having luck finding summer jobs”. Instead she managed to replace “luck” with another word. This one starts with a “F” and rhymes with “luck”, as well as “buck” and “duck”. Trying to keep her composure whilst realising her EPIC FAIL, however, is even more priceless. If you are at work, keep the volume down.

Locnville Maced In The Face By Police
09 Jun 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Cape Town’s very own Locnville – a twin due “electro-pop” music act, found themselves in the middle of a fight on Thursday night in Claremont. Apparently it was in the ‘early hours’ so I would imagine this came after they were ripping it up at Tiger Tiger – which is where I would have been […]

Fox News FAIL: Photo Of Tina Fey In Sarah Palin Report [PIC]
07 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Wow. How something like this even happens, I’m not even sure. But, it is both hilarious, and an epic fail. During a Fox News report on 2012 American presidential candidates, Fox News displayed a picture of Tina Fey playing Palin on an episode of Saturday Night Live instead of showing an actual picture of Sarah Palin. Awkward.
