Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood legend. This is the premise of Super 8, a new mystery, science-fiction thriller from writer-director J.J. Abrams that functions as a tribute to Spielberg, who’s signed on as producer. In case you haven’t heard of Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, he’s the guy that brought us Mission: Impossible III and the new […]
It seems that there truly isn’t a day goes by where some politician is caught on the take, then denies it, then blames the media, and then gets off. Monday was Malema’s turn and Tuesday Was Bheki’s. His mate Nathi got to explain just why the chief needed to spend 1.498 million Rand on plane trips.
The most exciting neighbourhood creation concept to hit South Africa, NameYourHood, is in full swing. The first two neighbourhoods under the microscope enjoyed over 400 names submitted over the last month. The NameYourHood panel painstakingly whittled that list down to 10 names per neighbourhood and now it’s time to vote! The final name chosen for […]
Speaking in New York yesterday, the former French finance minister and now new IMF head, Christine Lagarde, warned that despite the positive response in the financial markets to bailouts, fresh turmoil could easily boil over if debt crises aren’t properly managed now. She also really wants the Republicans and Democrats in Washington to stop squabbling so much.
Earlier this week Seth told you about the “Give Respect, Get Respect” campaign in America. It seems four- and two-wheeled road users in the UK might also benefit from this message. After seeing a video of himself assaulting a cyclist on the internet, a motorist has now offered his apology, saying he is “severely embarrassed.”
Touch the snow.. Army Helps Motorists Stuck In The Snow – The army was called in on Tuesday to help evacuate truck drivers stranded on Van Reenen’s Pass after the heaviest snowfalls in KwaZulu-Natal in two decades. SANDF spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini said members of the infantry battalion based in Ladysmith helped move vehicles stuck in the […]
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
A six-part reality series about the Duchess of York’s psychological issues was always liable to be slightly embarrassing viewing right? But no-one expected her to cry so much. The show, Finding Sarah, has just finished flighting in the UK and it seems Fergie just could not stop tearing up during filming. Even her poor daughters were caught up in the emotional roller-coaster, when surely all they wanted to do for the rest of 2011 was recover from the royal wedding (outfits) earlier this year.
Where are you going to be at 18h00 this evening? I know what I’m going to be doing – and let’s be honest about this – you know what you should be doing too, right? Something awesome might happen. The Old Spice Guy has accepted Fabio’s challenge and they will have some sort of bathroom face-off, live, on YouTube.
So I was in Cape Town the other week. Nice bit of South Africa, that. I take much pleasure in pissing Cape Town off (it’s not like you’re not asking for it, though, the way you lot dress), but honestly, it’s a delightful bit of real estate. The year I spent there in 2007 was […]
Zebedia Mpofu allegedly had the audacity to tell a colleague at work that a soft drink and packet of biscuits he was having for lunch came courtesy of Zimbabwe’s economic policies under Robert Mugabe’s main rival, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. Thank goodness someone heard and reported this traitor, who now has to stand trail for insulting and/or undermining Mugabe.
Our literary correspondent, Bruce Manley, got his hands on Dan Retief’s incredibly popular book, The Springboks And The Holy Grail. Click through for a review of the book, and an interview of Dan by Ian F on 2oceansVibe Radio’s Ian F Show.
My friend Lara is a vet in training and spent most of this month putting her hands in animals. Whilst out fiddling with animals in the Kruger Park, she noticed that even the parksboard is trying to cash in by introducing various ass-flavoured products.
Chinese officials have ordered two of the five fake stores already located in the south-western city of Kunming to suspend business while they’re investigated, a local government website said on Monday. But, it’s since emerged that similar fakes exist in countries from Croatia to Venezuela.
In the wake of the Norwegian terror attacks, a cartoonist and writer from Norway has written a letter to the creators of South Park. In it he appeals to them to help defuse the damage that Anders Behring Breivik has caused over the weekend, by writing an episode of South Park about it. Read his full message inside.
Kim Kardashian Suing Old Navy For Using Lookalike In Ad – They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But Kim Kardashian has been left furious after clothing brand Old Navy used a lookalike in their new ad campaign. The 30-year-old reality star is now suing the clothing giant for somewhere in the region […]
Look, it is very difficult to say anything polite about the tow truck industry. The same goes for a camel toe. But a 2oceansViber recently snapped some quality humour pics over in Miami of a tow truck company called “Camel Towing & Service”. Very clever – see pics inside.
The ANC Youth League has attacked the media for reporting on Julius Malema’s finances, claiming that it’s all a big conspiracy against him and that the media is “funded” by the right-wing Afrikaaner group “Die Broederbond”.
This photoshopped poster appeared on the “home page” of the “ANCYL”, “hours ago”. All of this is in quotation marks because apparently just about anything can happen with https://ancyl.org.za, which is currently enjoying an extended period of downtime. As Dumb & Dumber is the official choice of 2oceansVibe as Greatest Film of All Time, we […]
Nudity does not suit model Candice Boucher’s image in South Africa. No-one in SA will ever see Candice strip off, capisce? (Apart from the thousands of South Africans who saw this nude photo shoot online when she was US Playboy’s April cover girl last year, I suppose).
There was a fair amount of sport to watch this past weekend, but I was particularly looking forward to watching the closing rounds of the Billabong Pro surfing event that was on at J-Bay in the Eastern Cape. Jordy Smith had been surfing well and it looked like he could make the final. He did, and he won, again.
The Diversity High school in Alberton certainly lives up to its name when it comes to punishing their learners. In this shocking cell phone video the headmaster can be seen viciously beating a Grade 8 boy with a hosepipe. In another video a teacher forces a pupil’s hand into a bucket of cold water before striking the girl’s hands with a chalkboard duster.
The Defender Of The Faith cruised the new wedding exhibition with Kate on Friday. It’s quite a popular exhibition with 150,000 tickets already sold. They came up to the exhibit which shows Kate’s wedding dress on a seemingly invisible mannequin. Liz pipes, “Horrid, isn’t it? Horrid and dreadful!” Why did she say that, you ask? […]
I must say, this guy really did crack me up. Check out his Shosholoza video. There are tons of other ones – just as funny. Check them out in the “fanzone” here. Do you think you could do better? CLICK HERE to send in your video and you could even win a trip to watch the […]
The Springboks can count themselves lucky that this was a massive weekend for news; a weekend which included an international terror event, the death of a user of massive quantities of drugs, and corruption allegations being lead against a certain J. Malema.
Every week we’re giving away a bottle of Jack Daniels to the person who tweets or emails the best picture of themselves taking a load off, and doing Friday’s the Jack way. How do you do Fridays the Jack way? Chill out, have a drink. Don’t work. Look, there’s very little that you can do, […]
For an organisation with a slogan like “Fight, Produce, Learn”, the ANCYL certainly doesn’t seem to adhere to the “learn” part. For the third time this year, their website has been hacked. Yesterday, a message appeared on the homepage that reads: “HA HA HA. I have a 16 Million Rand house and all of you don’t!!!!”
The younger Murdoch’s credibility was tested last week, after he told a parliamentary committee that he was not aware of evidence that eavesdropping at the News of the World went beyond a jailed rogue reporter. At least three former top executives, including a former editor, have pointed fingers back at James. What happens next is critical to his future.
Nafissatou Diallo – DSK’s hotel maid Finally, DSK’s Maid Speak – The housekeeper at the Sofitel hotel who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault has given a long and tearful interview, with her full name and picture attached, that provides her detailed account of the May encounter — including that Mr. Strauss-Kahn told her “You’re […]
Between 1969-1971, the world lost four unrivaled musicians when Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix all died either by the hand of heroin or another substance. All at the age of 27. This coincidental phenomenon generated the name 27 Club, which chronicles the untimely death of musicians like Kurt Cobain and Robert […]
