Believe me, many things can be said about Tom Cruise and his weird ways. But the oke does have a knack for pulling off some really interesting movie roles. He is currently filming a rock version of “Mamma Mia”, called “Rock of Ages” – and yes, he’ll sing in it as well! Check out the first image of Tom as rocker Stacee Jaxx inside.

When it was announced last week that Hugh Hefner’s fiancee Crystal Harris had called off their wedding, it was hard not to feel bad for the old guy. For about two hours. And then he got himself a new Playmate – the woman Crystal had named as her maid of honour no less.
Having reviewed most positions over the last 10 weeks, the time has come to select my Bok squad and starting XV for this year’s Rugby World Cup tournament in New Zealand in September/October. I do not suggest that these are the players I would start in the Tri-Nations – we should consider resting senior players […]
A new club that opened in Jakarta, Indonesia, this weekend, is encouraging women to be totally obedient to their husbands and focus on keeping them sexually satisfied. Predictably, the new branch of the 800-member strong organisation has generated a chorus of disapproval from activists and academics alike.
The fourth season of True Blood kicks off in America on Sunday night, and it has a South African cast member! No, they haven’t written the tokoloshe into the plot (yet). But they have created a “French-speaking supernatural” who will be played by our very own homegirl, Nondumiso Tembe! And it is not just a once-off appearance…
Did you see that video of Donald Trump’s new private jet? It cost him $100 million. Check it out here. I’ll be buying one if I win tomorrow’s Euromillions lottery which is sporting a €101,000,000 jackpot. You might also be able to buy one if you win. But you need to get a ticket first. […]
Professional Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown was invited by the Republican Party to speak at their Leadership Conference in New Orleans over the weekend. Classy birth certificate references and borderline racist jokes ensued, until he was pulled off the stage by a conference official. Come, observe democracy at its high point.
Those of you who read the daily Morning Spice headlines, will remember that on Friday last week, we told you about a posh brawl which broke out at this year’s Royal Ascot, the most famous of English horse racing events. Apparently okes were taking each other on, with table legs and R1,000 bottles of bubbly. […]
It’s not clear exactly what Amy was on when she performed in Belgrade on Saturday night, but whatever it was, it was a lot. During her 90 minute performance, Winehouse managed to mumble mostly and may have even hallucinated a few times too. The next few legs of her European tour have obviously been cancelled.
Surgeon Shits On David Cameron In Hospital [Video] – A senior surgeon interrupted a hospital visit by David Cameron and Nick Clegg to complain that the TV crews filming them were not observing strict hygiene rules.. David Nunn left the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister stunned with his angry outburst during the walkabout at […]
Muammar Gaddafi’s government are in contact across Europe with members of the Libyan rebel army. Earlier this week the head of the World Chess Federation, a man with direct Kremlin links, took Gaddafi on in a ‘diplomatic’ chess game. Maybe his persuasion has helped.
Boy, those Russians are tough! Take this 36 year-old scientist for instance – swimming naked with Beluga whales in minus 1.5 degrees Celsius! Natalia Avseenko wants to explore the possibility of taming them before they are transported to dolphinariums around the world. Why naked? They do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits, duh!
When we said that we were going to revolutionize the South African work place by lobbying for shorter (read: “nonexistent”) Friday working hours, we weren’t kidding around. Proof? Thanks to the help of our friends at Jack Daniels, and the marvelous Last Word hotel group, we got ourselves a yacht. The Princess Emma, to be […]
If you’re a parent, you’ll know the pain of trying to get children to sleep. It starts by having to give them copious glasses of water. Eventually, after the fifth bedtime story, you’ll end up pleading and begging. But now there’s a bedtime book for you called “Go the F**k to Sleep”, read by none other than Sam Jackson.
We’ve been covering the rise of Ass-Flavoured Products for a while now – and I think we’ve just found the first restaurant to start dealing in this surprisingly popular new flavour with their delightfully picant, ‘Ass Cake Sitdown.’ Please, click through & and be amazed.
Here’s a quick Facebook 101 tutorial. It’s not smart to include hate speech in your conversation with other FB users. Especially if you are, say, a budding journalist. Mail & Guardian intern Ngoako Matsha, who apparently has some pretty strong anti-Semitic views, learned that the hard way this week.
Yes, English security guard Sean Murphy thought it was a good idea to blast off his wart with a shotgun, and in the process, his own finger too. Murphy decided to use a 12-bore Beretta at a Doncaster garden centre to consign the wart to history, along with most of the middle finger on his left hand.
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
Sometimes, the truth really is stranger than fiction. This video – filmed at a wedding in China – features a bride, her groom, and… his boyfriend. The latter basically rocked up to crash the wedding. And crash it he does. High-pitched screeching from all involved ensues, until the groom is forced to make a decision. I promise you won’t be able to guess how it ends!
My primary residence, the Cape Royale Hotel, has been nominated again for the World Luxury Hotel Awards! As with most things here on 2oceansvibe, we like to show our support for the brands we care about and who care about us. My love for the Cape Royale knows no bounds and you need only check […]
Today is the 17th of the month. Instinctively, you know that that means. The Petrol gauge is flirting with the wrong side of the half-mark. The improvised wine-collection is running dry. The packet of cigarettes is looking dangerously roomy, and the Salticrax are beginning to look more austere than opulent. And as the cash-coffers dry […]
South African’s just love their Blackberrys, and annoyingly rave about how cool they are, and constantly put their Blackberry pins up on Facebook, saying, “Just got my BB. Add me guys!” But RIM, the company that makes the annoying device, seems to be in quite the spot of bother.
And they’d been doing so well with the ‘not evil’ thing. Apple’s new patent is for software that would sense when people are trying to film concerts or events with their iPhone, then automatically disable the camera. It’d be nice to see a concert without a thousand iPhones blocking the way, but Big Brother much?
Vancouver Riot ‘Kiss Photograph’ Goes Viral – Lying in the street and seemingly locked in a kiss as chaos erupts around them, a young couple appear oblivious to the charging crowds and baton-wielding riot police. The photograph, taken amid Vancouver’s hockey riots, has been tweeted around the world. But the photographer who took it is still […]
We’re big on tech and progression, here at 2oceansvibe Media, and that is why, 10 months ago, we launched South Africa’s first mainstream internet radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio – with content, talk and music you can actually relate to.
