Sivakumar, a 30 year-old man from Kanyakumari, India, travelled to attend the wedding of Ponradha and Sithiraivelu. The day would take a dramatic turn when Sithiraivelu didn’t pitch up to the wedding, and Sivakumar had to step in as a husband-substitute.

The nice thing about making Kim Kardashian your fiancee is that you don’t have to spend any money hiring back-up dancers for your videos. You just give her a call and say, “Hey Kim, do you mind getting naked on a motorbike in front of a green screen with me?”
A recent study in the UK has revealed that more and more women have decided to go au naturale, while more and more men are okay with that. Yup. Despite being bombarded with images of pubic topiary whenever Britney Spears or Paris Hilton got out of a cab, it seems as if the trend is now to totally neglect the razor.
The Hunger Games underplayed its hand. While competent and carried by a strong performance from Jennifer Lawrence, Gary Ross seemed like the wrong director for the film. Getting the Seabiscuit and Pleasantville director on-board must have been a ploy to cushion the adult themes to appeal to a much broader audience. While marketed as a […]
The official music video for Jack Parow’s P.A.R.T.Y dropped yesterday, and it might be the most South African video ever. (Sorry, Waddy.) In the video, directed by Paul Ward, Jack is on a road trip with his buddies. He lounges on the beach, drinks at a bar, watches sport, surfs, eats at Wimpy and bounces with children and petrol attendees. Like we all do.
Local mall roof collapses, kills 1, injures 29. Meryl Streep’s next role will blow your mind. Microsoft buys Nokia mobile. Bafana Bafana’s shock victory. Was Brittany Murphy poisoned? Kidman opens up about Cruise divorce.
Ag shame. After going through the effort of buying pirated copies of Mandela:Long Walk to Freedom in the backstreets of Joburg, it has now been revealed that the DVDs don’t feature the actual movie.
This is a bit of a blunder. In their preparations for the 2022 World Cup, the architectural firm behind one of the stadiums have released an artists impression of what the stadium might look like when it is complete.
At the end of every quarter all registered collective investment schemes in South Africa release data on the holdings in their funds. This data allows analysts to get an idea of which shares are most popular, and which are least popular among the people who know what they’re talking about.
In this week’s installment of “Well, What Did You Expect?” we profile a man named Jack Vale, who people are calling a ‘psychic’ .
So, Bafana Bafana lost a major sponsor in Puma, when they pulled out a while ago. Now, companies are scrambling to fill the place once occupied by the big cat brand.
Many of us worry whether our bodies get enough exercise – but it’s important to remember that our mental health is just as important if we want to be successful and healthy. Clinical social worker Amy Morin prepared this list of things to avoid in order for your mind to be as strong as steel

Well, this is just a treat. Former Governor Sarah Palin punched her way back into the news this week by invoking slavery in remarks about American public debt, then doubling down on the remarks in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper. Martin Bashir presents the ‘Clear The Air’ segment on MSNBC in the States, and he used his platform as an opportunity to punish Palin for her stupidity.
Alright, alright – so we had to post a story about this. One page on social media posts pictures of an American woman sitting next to a dead lion that she killed in South Africa, and the whole internet goes nuts.

You may have noticed a few ludicrous art sales happening lately, what with this Andy Warhol painting going for a billion rand, and this Francis Bacon piece which was sold for a billion and a half. But how is this value created? Where does it come from and how does it rise so exponentially? Perhaps the world of crime is to blame.
We don’t know precisely why we get annoyed with Americans who want to ‘save Africa’. Maybe it’s because we see it as paternalistic. Maybe it’s because we see it patronising.
This is either very sad or very legendary. If this man had bought the house for the express purpose of pissing off his ex, then it’s sad. If he had no choice, was forced to move next to his ex, and then erected the satue – he’s a legend. Alan Markovitz had recently broken up […]
Before you get a fright, they’re not making a movie sequel – thank god – its just a sequel to the book. His former colleagues are having a little get-together, and are working to complete a book that will pick up where ‘Long Walk to Freedom’ left off.
Before you read on, know that this article will divulge information about a bungalow in Clifton that you could have been (illegally) living in for the past 10 years, if you got there first. But you didn’t. Bergies did.
The Vans Warped Tour was cancelled yesterday, after a show in London saw one of the artists leap into the crowd from 12 metres. A rapper from the US, George Watsky, thought it would be cool to leap off the lighting rig and into the waiting crowd below. It wasn’t.
Were we supposed to be taking Scientologists seriously? Hah. If you, like us, had thought that it was just a fad, then you might have to re-examine your prejudices. These guys are not kidding around.
Think about what you have to do today. Now, don’t do it. “How?” we hear you ask. It’s easy – just follow the instructions on this epic infographic. In fact, you might as well kick the procrastination off by reading the infographic.
The English just love doing this sort of thing. Every year around Cristmas, they gather around and try to get a certain song up to number 1 in the charts just in time for Christmas. Why? Well, because they’re bored and lonely and live on a cold, rainy Island where it gets dark at 3pm.
Here’s yet another reason not to become a politician. While some people use Bitcoins to buy things like socks and sushi online, Kawabatake Sanjuro invented a website called the Assissination Market, where you place a bid to have a government official killed in exchanged for Bitcoins.
