Last night’s American Music Awards saw both Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift take home a lot of the plaudits. However, special plaudits need to be given to Justin Timberlake.

A week or two ago we posted Kanye West’s original music video for ‘Bound 2’. That got a lot of tongues wagging, not least of all because Kanye appeared to simulate sex with Kim for pretty much the entire video.
Not everyone is gifted with the ability to wakeboard with such ease. Nor is everyone gifted with the ability to use chopsticks. And until now, nobody was known to have the ability to do both… simultaneously.
Matthew Mole made South African music history not long ago when he became the first local artist to enter the iTunes charts at the number one spot. He’s back with a brand new music video for ‘Take Yours, I’ll Take Mine’. Enjoy that.
Meet Thalente Biyela. His story reads like millions of others in our country: he grew up with an abusive stepfather, he sold drugs on the streets of Durban to survive, and has been homeless since his mother passed away at age 11.
This is possibly one of the most embarrassing helicopter crashes ever. If the pilot is reading this – we apologise – but you can’t hide stuff like this for long.
DJ Azuhl is a hop hop DJ with the kind of scratching and mixing skills that take years to master. Maybe that’s why there’s only standing room available when he plays..

Due to the fact that he was disallowed entry into our country, we can’t be sure that he’s the Buddhist master everyone makes him out to be. But if YouTube videos are anything to go by, the man knows his stuff.
How whack is crack really? Disgraced Toronto Mayor Rob Rod freely admits to smoking crack cocaine ‘in one of my drunken stupors’ (he also regularly binge drinks – fun guy). Thanks to the mayor, everyone’s talking about crack again. This video shows you exactly what happens to your brain on crack, and it’s definitely not fun.

We can all agree that Cape Town is the best place to live. Except for one big problem: parking. Whether you’re in Woodstock, Green Point, the CBD or on the other side of the Boerewors Curtain, parking never comes easy in our beautiful city. That’s why we need the Streetline app, Parker.
Woah – that’s gotta hurt. Brian Gillespie was taking the ‘Hasport Hondata Insight Car’ for a little test run in the desert, when things when a little awry.
One day it’s just open sea – the next day there’s an island. Filmed just off the coast of Japan, an erupting volcano has just formed an entirely new island that is about 650 meters across.
Christmas is bearing down upon you. Heck, it’s bearing down on all of us. Specifically, the prospect of enduring the annual Christmas road trip is particularly daunting. Lucky for us, these apps will make the prospect of boiled eggs and toasted sarmies in tin foil slightly less awful.
Ah, how we’ve missed George Bushes TV appearances. They always make for brilliant viewing, regardless of the context. This time, he’s making a TV comeback on the Jay Leno show, and shows Jay a cute picture that he had painted of the talk show host.
