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.

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.
Gym-going okes are always trying to push themselves, hey. And the scientists behind the supplements that keep the okes going, are also always trying to push themselves. Now, we all remember the Jack3d controversy, but this one is something else. Recent tests have shown that a popular sports supplement in the U.S. contains meth. That’s right, meth.
What the hell is an Oarfish? While the term may escape laymen, the Oarfish has been well documented by marine biologists for years.It’s not anything too strange, it’s just strange-lookin’. Although, due to their mysterious beachings after storms,and thier tendency to linger on the surface of the sea when they are dying – they are a common source of sea-serpent tales. And boy, do we have a sea-serpent tale today.

Vice Media CEO, Shane Smith conducted a lengthy interview with Fortune Magazine this past week, covering subjects ranging from Dennis Rodman and North Korea, to making money from YouTube and telling old media that they can “go to hell”. These are our highlights:
Gadabout and local Internet/YouTube/Movember/UCT social committee celebrity, Anton Taylor has produced a video reply to Steve Hofmeyr’s Red October movement, which co-opted communist iconography for the sake of (incorrectly) asserting that white South Africans were suffering a genocide. Anton’s video is getting more heat than a lost Smuts resident at Danie Craven stadium. What do […]
Love him or hate him – you have to admire Jon Bon Jovi for walking an Australian fan down the aisle in Vegas recently.

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.

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 what’s more, we happened top find a whole lot of his old poetry, from his days as a rebellious back-alley hacker. The following is not suitable for those scared of bad poetry.
In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate. The scenario is a direct play-acting of a scene from cult classic radio comedy programme, The 12th Man, which was written and performed by comedian Billy Birmingham.
