Maybe it is time for Karl Lagerfeld to stop being weird. If it is not making a life-size, chocolate sculpture of his boyfriend six decades younger than him, then it’s fashion fails like this. The male “urban turban”, also known as the “murban” is what Karl is hoping metrosexuals worldwide will be sporting this winter. Pic of bf Baptiste Giabiconi wearing one inside.
Why? Because Pope Benedict XVI can do what he wants, I guess. He spent about twenty minutes video chatting with the crew of the International Space Station and the U.S shuttle Endeavour, conveying well-wishes for Gabrielle Gifford’s husband, and generally just shooting the breeze.
Hampshire police were alerted at about 16h00 on Saturday afternoon to the presence of a white tiger in a field in Hedge End, near Southampton on the south coast of England. The force quickly coordinated with a local zoo to arrange a tranquilliser dart, before enlisting a helicopter and team of police officers to help capture the animal.
In my Grade Eight IsiZulu class, our set book was a novel set in the early 1800s. It was a fictionalised account of what the Iron Age existence of a tribe living in KwaZulu Natal would have been like – before the white man arrived in his ships; even before Shaka Zulu’s fearsome warriors began their raiding expeditions. It was a well-written book and within its pages I was transported back to those simple years when the greatest challenge of the day was finding a cave where iron ore could be mined from. But the book was horribly flawed in one respect. Click link for more..
‘Leaps and bounds’, you could say. 2oceansvibe Media is proud to announce the launch of our all-new 2oceansvibe Radio website.

Last month we told you about Oliver Hermanus’ Skoonheid – the first Afrikaans feature film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival. This weekend saw the end of the festival with the all-important awards section, and Skoonheid walked away with the Queer Palm Award! It is given to a film that contributes to lesbian, gay, bi or transgender issues. Three cheers for Oliver!
A chain of particularly violent storms ripped through the American Midwest on Sunday. Joplin, Missouri, has become iconic of the increasingly-depressing storm season blighting the US.
This coming Thursday, the V&A Waterfront will be playing host to the inaugural Cape Town Society Charity Dinner. The proceeds of the ticket sales and the auction will be passed to a number of worthy charities. One of the beneficiaries of the auction proceeds is the Bobs For Good Foundation, which is a fantastic initiative […]
What with IMF boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn jailed on sex assault charges, there’s speculation about who’ll be replacing him. Calls from non-European countries to instate a non-European head have become increasingly vocal, especially after French Strauss-Kahn’s shenanigans – so it’s interesting that The Economist looked to Trevor Manuel, among others, as a potential succcessor.
Johannes Coetzee took up the mantle of spreading Harold Camping’s doomsday prophecy throughout the southern African region. And on Friday night, he and 50 other May 21 prophets booked in to the Devonshire Hotel in Braaimfontein ahead of their impending float up to the ether. They woke up in bed on Sunday.
ANC Nelson Mandela Bay chairperson Nceba Faku encouraged more than 100 party members to burn down Port Elizabeth’s The Herald newspaper as he celebrated the party’s election victory outside the Port Elizabeth City Hall on Thursday night. Faku said the party was celebrating an “important battle that is between the ANC and the media”.
The Parlotones Take Best Music Video At SAMAs – Saturday night saw the 17th South African Music Awards take place at Johannesburg’s Montecasino. The Parlotones, Prime Circle, Locnville, Jax Panik, Kurt Darren and Die Antwoord were among the winners. [channel24] Arnold Has Two More Secret Kids – Randy Arnold Schwarzenegger has at least two more […]
Final results of the local government elections have been trickling in all day and the country’s free broadcaster has been doing a good job of keeping live feeds interesting. Just after lunchtime things got a little hectique though when ANCYL child Julius Malema refused a live debate with the DA’s Lindiwe Mazibuko, calling her “The madam’s tea lady.”
Sometimes fellow human beings are just…awesome. As the Japanese government struggle to bring the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant under control due to a lack of people willing to go into the contaminated area, a group of pensioners have decided to step up. Why? They are willing to put their lives at risk to save younger people from radiation.
Both Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the latest in a long line of high profile men who have allowed the smaller of their two heads to gain the upper hand when making crucial decisions. Their fall is especially tragic when one considers the elegance of a simple solution. [Click link for more]
Our weekly Jack Friday competition is getting some great entries. It was very hard to choose the winner of this week’s bottle of Jack Daniel’s, but after much contemplation, this one Tweeted in by @al_dog7 must take the prize. His caption was “Chillin’ in the Jack uzzi.” Nice, my man – we like the way […]
Viagra might be the saviour for many men in the sack, but it turns out that man’s love-drug of choice might be causing hearing loss.
50 Cent has joined the cast of Odd Thomas, an adaptation of Dean Koontz’ novel, which I don’t really care about. What I do care about is the fact that 50 Cent is playing a blind DJ called Shamus Cocobolo, who will help Anton Yelchin’s “clairvoyant short-order cook” uncover a Satanic plot. No spice.
Ok they are clearly feeding their designer some SERIOUSLY good mushrooms, because this new Goldfish music video for their latest hit, “We Come Together” has completely blown my socks off! And it will blow yours off too. It’s basically a video game. Have you ever had your socks blown off? You should try it – […]
Former Stormers captain and controversial Springbok flank, Luke Watson, was interviewed by Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans of 2oceansvibe Radio‘s Drive Time Robbery show earlier this week. In the candid interview, Watson ‘fesses up to the fault of his controversial remarks regarding the Springbok jersey, and the Afrikaans-dominated administration of South African rugby. Watson […]
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 […]
The Tokyo Electric Power Company has released dramatic new photographs showing the immense power and immediate devastation the tsunami waves caused at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 11. The moment-of-impact images were taken from the fourth floor of the radioactive waste disposal building.
Look, I’m a cynic, but this is a must-see. Not content with simply getting down on one knee and asking his girlfriend to marry him, this legend of a man made a movie trailer without her knowledge. He then got her brother to take her to the movies, set up a hidden camera to capture her reaction and then, ag, just watch the video, okay?
It’s called iPlayboy because, well hell, what else were they going to call it? The appeal here is not so much that you get to see tastefully nude photographs in glorious iPad detail as the fact that the application offers full access tothe Playboy archives – you would own every Playboy issue ever. Welcome to the future.
I’ve had it up to here with bastard companies sending me text messages about crap I don’t want, have never wanted and will never want. I don’t know what has happened, but suddenly every company in the country has my number. Thankfully I can now go to the Wireless Application Service Providers’ Association’s (Waspa) website and sort this shit out.
They Lied, Hammerl IS Dead – A statement on Facebook by the family of Anton Hammerl, a 41-year-old South African freelance photographer who has been missing in Libya for more than a month, said the family learned Thursday that he had in fact been killed April 5 by the forces of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. [newyorktimes] […]
Zimbabwean defence minister, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has told the Zimbabwean parliament that China will put up the money for the completion of the Robert Mugabe School of Intelligence. It’s not clear how and when the money will be repaid by the Zimbabwean government, who’s debt to China is now about US$1.65 billion.
Anyone who likes their cinema experience to be slightly more challenging than the conventional would have heard of Danish film maker, Lars von Trier. But instead of challenging the crowd with his latest film, Melancholia, starring Kirsten Dunst, it was his attempt at satire during a press conference that has now earned him the title of “persona non grata” at this prestigious festival.
The always charming Wayne Rooney has offered to fight a “fan” who insulted him on Twitter. Wayne told the user that he’d “put him asleep in 10 seconds”.
