Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is in town and was spotted at the V&A Waterfront, wearing his trademark face. Rhys Meyers is best known for his roles in the films Bend It Like Beckham and Match Point and his television role as King Henry VIII in the historical drama The Tudors. An Excited fan of his […]
Top three American Idol finalist, Haley Reinart, took an embarrassing tumble on stage tonight during her sexy rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “What Is And What Should Never Be”. Randy Jackson thought the fall was a set up. And Steven Tyler, predictably, loved it.
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, the commercial spaceflight vehicle, recently had its seventh test flight, dropped from a height of 15km to see if it could adjust speed and bearing with various wing configurations. Which sounds technically fancy, but really just looks insanely cool.
Google has been hit with a string of security flaws lately and the internet giant has now been exposed yet again with a “significant security hole” being found in its smartphone operating system, Google Android. As usual with these things, it can allow attackers to gain access to users’ personal information without their permission.
A few weeks ago I dropped off La Muse at Cape Town International airport, ahead of her buying trip to three corners of the world. We ate at the Spur (as you do) and when I paid for my parking ticket I was shocked to see I had been charged R105. I didn’t have the […]
WHAT a novel idea! You will recall an article we posted in early March about little Natalie – a little girl close to our heart, who has a rare form of bone cancer. The family and friends supporting Natalie are a terribly creative bunch, as you would have seen by the brilliant website they setup […]
The woman in the pictures here attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a seventh-story window. Before she could let go however, other people in the building saved her. Why did she not just run and jump? Because she wanted to wear her wedding dress whilst taking the plunge and the window was a bit small. Unrequited love leads to awkwardness.
The results of yesterday’s fourth democratic municipal elections started trickling in late last night, after a very long, but mostly quiet day of voting. There were long lines, some scanner problems and one or two questions raised here and there.
Ha! Well done. Exactly nine days after setting up a Twitter account, the Secret Service was seen to post the following: “Had to monitor FOX for a story. Can’t. Deal. With. The. Blathering.” The tweet wasn’t deleted in time for all of the giggling, left-wing internet to leap at it. An “internal follow-up” is in progress.
Camps Bay Voting Station – a real pulse of the nation Local Government Elections – With just 131 071 votes counted by midnight on Wednesday, the ruling party had 55,76% of the vote for wards and the Democratic Alliance came in at 33,48%. The ANC had 71 847 votes cast so far and the DA had […]
The Integrated Marketing Communication Conference is happening in Johannesburg next month, having made the move from the Cape Town venue of the last event in October 2010. The IMCC brings together a host of marketing thought-leaders to discuss topics like: the benefits of online media; the vast opportunities available through social media marketing; integrating communications strategies […]
Blackbeard, Barbarossa, Captain Kidd and Davy Jones would’ve rolled in their sea graves if they’d known fictional pirates like Long John Silver, Captain Hook and Captain Jack Sparrow would become more famous than them. Well, as real as Keith Richards is… he’s no pirate – not the way we think at least! Johnny Depp’s famous […]
The White House Flickr feed has been updated with a series of candid shots of President Obama over the past couple of weeks. Click through for shots of Obama and the family at the annual Easter Egg Roll, surveying tornado damage in the South, and hanging at the Oval Office- among others.
Car Magazine’s May issue is ever so slightly different from previous incarnations. Sure, there’s a hot car on the cover. The typeface “CAR” is as red, and bold, as ever. All of the usual sluglines are there. And then you notice this QR code at the bottom left-hand corner of the cover.
Despite what our responsible and esteemed president said recently, about us all going to hell if we don’t vote ANC; it seems we won’t be burning for eternity after all.
Enjoy this early-release version of a track by local muso, JR (of “Make The Circle Beega”) fame. The track, titled “Show Goes On” will launch officially this coming Friday. Die Heuwels Fantasties and Jack Parow make an appearance on the track. Nicely.
Ciro De Siena “works” as a car journalist. Sure, it’s tough to view driving a different car every week and writing about it as work, but it’s not all Bentleys and Champagne, he assures us. Every week he’ll review whatever it is that happens to be in his driveway, starting today with the Audi TT-RS, a manic version of your estate agent’s company car.
Police officials have said that hours before Queen Elizabeth II was to arrive in Dublin today, the army defused a pipe bomb discovered in a tote bag. The bag was in the luggage compartment of a bus on its way to the capital. Irish police are now on high alert after further scares are keeping them busy.
The mere fact that cops have to put up with guys like this daily makes them pretty awesome in my opinion. This Russian dude is so drunk that he attempts to use his bare hand, and then his box of cigarettes as a telephone! I do not even want to know what our local police force must deal with every week – especially after phuza Thursday!
Wow. Alright. Apple gave the the green light to a mobile app that promises to connect rich old dudes with young women. Sugar daddies with gold diggers. Seriously. They call themselves SugarSugar, “the world’s most effective and discreet place for finding Sugar Daddy and Sugar Baby relationships.”
The man formerly known as the Governator has fathered a child with a staff member who worked for the Schwarzenegger family for 20 years. It has been revealed that this is the reason Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after she had recently learned he had fathered the child more than a decade ago.
The ANC says that it is “extremely disappointed and puzzled” by yesterday’s high court ruling refusing it leave to appeal an earlier finding that the song “Shoot the Boer” is an incitement to murder. It has decided it’s time to take it to a higher court.
As many of you will be well-aware, lovely Candice posed nude in Playboy Magazine some time ago. She’s wearing only slightly more this time on the Cannes red carpet, in a fetching Gavin Rajah get-up. Click through for the gallery inside!
Goldman Sachs employees were told yesterday that Richard Gnodde is the new co-head of investment banking along with David Solomon and John Weinberg. Gnodde, who was born in Johannesburg, joined the firm back in 1987 and is said to have been critical to Goldman’s European acquisitions and mergers business.
A sharp-eyed 2oceansviber sent in a screenshot of a tweet posted by Graeme Smith’s irish fiance, Morgan Dean, which celebrates his prowess in bed.
In an incredibly patriotic move, Donald Trump yesterday announced that he no longer plans to run for the American presidency. Instead he will rather selflessly become part of the 12th season of The Apprentice once again because “it is for charity and for a great cause.” See the video statement inside. I love the applauding when he announces his decision not to run anymore. Awkward.
Save The Date: The World Ends Tomorrow – Behind thousands of “Judgement Day” billboards from rural highways to city skylines and a small army of volunteers that have traipsed across the country preaching May 21 as the beginning of the world’s destruction is a frail, 89-year-old California multimillionaire who runs one of the largest […]
Surely if you were paid to act as the TV match official to assist a referee controlling a rugby game, you would pride yourself on your capacity to communicate. You don’t have to run anywhere; you don’t have to blow anything and you don’t even have to get out of your pyjamas for the Lord’s sake. All you need do is watch the game and share an opinion if asked. Easier money than a Bangkok rub ‘n tug parlour operator. Click for more.
Russians are just epic. They live in one of the coldest places on earth, can drink pretty much anyone under the table, and they most certainly don’t eff around when it comes to organised crime. In this video you’ll see a Russian granny, believed to be in her seventies, cling onto the back of a speeding bus in order to escape paying bus fare. Respect!
This is a little like me not being allowed to have posters up in my bedroom, but less serious: the ANC has lodged a complaint with the Electoral Commission after Cape Town city workers were found removing COSATU posters campaigning for Tony Ehrenreich. Because they want their posters back, apparently.
