The Dirty Skirts long awaited third album, Lost In The Fall, is finally hitting the streets, with the first launch party happening this Saturday 23rd July at Zula Bar, Cape Town. Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria will be after that. 2oceansvibe has personally had a taste of the new album and we can categorically state that […]
Nonhle Thema single-handedly put tweeting excessively in CAPS LOCK and ellipsis back on the map. She has also spent the last month telling her Twitter followers exactly how awesome and untouchable she is… BOOM! But it turns out there might be such a thing as bad publicity after all. You see, M-Net’s Vuzu and Nonhle have apparently “mutually decided to put their on-screen relationship on hold.”
Julius Malema has today denied that he is building a R16 million home in the upmarket Johannesburg suburb of Sandown. Rather, he chose to insist, “Instead of being rich, I remain poor but credit worthy.” He declined to give details of his financial interests, saying he was not a public figure, but this may yet backfire on him.
Do you have emotional, physical or spiritual feelings of being blocked? Do you ever have sudden mood swings or changes in personality? Do you hear inner voices? Have you coughed up nails before? If you answered with a resounding “yes” to all of these questions, you may be possessed… or are expecting a visit from […]

When Cope founder, Mbhazima Shilowa, named himself president of the Congress of the People, little did he think that he and his furniture would be taken to the cleaners to cover the legal ramifications. Political rival Mosiuoa Lekota won a court ruling last year which prevented Mbhazima from using the Cope president title, and lumped him with an order to pay R72,000 in legal costs.
The infamous Foxconn factory in Shenzhen, China, has claimed another life, when a 21 year-old male worker “fell to his death” from the sixth floor of a factory dormitory. More than a dozen similar fatalities by falling were reported last year.
There has been a lot of talk about Santam‘s new branding and, in particular, their latest TV ad, starring Oscar-winner film star (Gandhi & Schindler’s List) Ben Kingsley. I think they made a good move here, differentiating themselves from the ‘quick-fix’ insurers out there – companies who are quick to help until something goes wrong. […]
Zurich, being a progressive city and all, has a popular red-light district. But still, no resident living close-by wants to see two (or more) people engage in a game of adult twister. Surprisingly it is the local police who have come up with a solution in the form of drive-in sex boxes. Yes, it is exactly what you think it is.
Bridget Moleboheng was due to give birth over December and was taken to the Sebokeng Hospital in the Vaal Triangle. But when the time came she was forced to deliver her own baby. The only “help” she received from the nurses on duty was when they took time out of laughing and chatting in the corridor outside her room to tell her to keep quiet.
Rupert Murdoch – A Hands On Newspaper Man – To illustrate the extent to which Rupert Murdoch used to micro-manage his newspapers, a one-time Murdoch editor told an anecdote about a typical board meeting at the mogul’s UK newspaper arm in the 1980s. Check this story out. [reuters] Piers Morgan Defends Rupert Murdoch – After […]

When the internet came along, and it spawned thousands of well-moneyed industries, the writers naturally followed. Tech journalists. Bloggers. Et cetera. These days, normal people do most of their reading on some sort of screen. Writing for online is huge. But it has its own, annoying memes that I wish would end. It’s like a never-ending insider joke and is a bit unimaginative.
Every now and then it’s important to share news that makes one rethink the definition of the word “gross”. This was the first word that came to mind when I read about this latest medical marvel: the first time a fully formed nipple has been found on a woman’s foot.
Earlier today, in the morning spice headlines, 2oceansvibe reported that Shrien Dewani was excused from his extradition hearing, that resumed yesterday, because he was “too ill” to attend court proceedings. It’s since emerged that Shrien “exercises for hours” despite being diagnosed with a condition which leaves sufferers struggling physically and mentally.
It is a well-known fact that Lady Gaga “draws inspiration” from various sources. And a lot of times she actually receives positive feedback from those she openly imitates. But Bette Midler is certainly not one of those people. The famous redhead recently took to Twitter to berate Gaga for copying her mermaid in a wheelchair routine. “Keep the firecracker tits – the mermaid’s mine!”

A person of limited brain activity has attacked media man Rupert Murdoch with a cream pie as the eighty-year old was being questioned by MPs at a parliamentary committee hearing on the ongoing phone hacking scandal. The man’s name is Jonnie Marbles and he’s hilarious.
Rupert Murdoch, his son, James, and former News Of The World Editor, Rebekah Brooks, are set to face a grilling by the British Parliament’s Culture Committee this afternoon. And it would be advisable for you to tune in, because you might be a witness to the end of Rupert Murdoch, and his de facto control over the greater British Media – a position that he has held for the last 30 years.
Research In Motion (Rim), the makers of BlackBerry, has been severely criticized for having two CEOs, but apparently there’s really only one man who wears the pants in the ever-deteriorating domestic situation that is the Rim boardroom: Mike Lazaridis.
Matt Goss was the lead singer and one of the twin brothers who made up the band Bros. I was 11 years old when the 1988 hit “I Owe You Nothing” dominated the top of the charts and although I was still learning about what was and wasn’t ‘cool,’ I was sure as shit that […]
In a scene straight out of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, a five-year-old boy got into a frightening tussle with a Bengal tiger at a golf estate in Limpopo on Saturday. You read all of the above correctly.
Normally, when one goes to rehab, it’s to break the cycle of abuse and addiction, not to test out some hallucinogenic drug for a week to see if it distracts you from your other addictions. But, if you’re Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife, you probably still have that mindset that you only have one gear: go.

Full-time 2oceansvibe Character, and part-time Springbok rugby captain, John Smit, sent through a tweet to Morning Show host, Ian F (ex-5FM), to clear up an […]
Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin seems to be loved by the ladies. So much so that a new online campaign urges young women to take off their clothes in support of his presidency. In this strange video, a sexy blond can be seen scribbling “I will tear my clothes off for Putin” on a white top in red lipstick before starting to undo her clothes.
Whistleblower found dead Phone Hacking Scandal Whistleblower Found Dead – A former News of the World journalist who made phone-hacking allegations against the paper has been found dead. Sean Hoare told the New York Times the practice was far more extensive than the paper acknowledged when police first investigated hacking claims. [bbc] The Sun Hacked – […]
The world of ridiculous internet trends is a highly competitive one. There’s photo bombing, fail videos, planking, and most recently owling – all highly popular in their day, but now quickly becoming old news. I’m told the current meme flavour is called “leisure diving”, and involves jumping into a body of water whilst striking a “leisure pose” in mid-air. Examples inside.
By now you are probably familiar with the chaos surrounding Rupert Murdoch’s empire of media companies, including the hacking scandal that has seen “The News of the World” shut its doors after more than 150 years. So it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a movie out of the whole debacle. This is what it would look like.
We’re pretty tight with Jack Daniel, here at 2oceansvibe. By now you should be fully aware that we have been liberating people on Friday afternoons – kidnapping people from their offices and generally enforcing Jack Daniel’s (and our) belief that people should not be working on Friday afternoons. But we’re not the only ones doing […]
If you think that owning an iPhone is a waste of money, think again. An American company called Health Discovery Corporation has invented an app, called MelApp, that uses mathematical algorithms and image based pattern recognition technology, to detect early stage melanoma. What’s that? Can’t get an American iTunes account? Oh yes you can.
