Drive Angry 3D is a Nicolas Cage movie. Born Nicholas Kim Coppola, the actor has racked up quite the reputation, earning a Best Actor Oscar for his role in Leaving Las Vegas and then a nomination for Adaptation. Frankly, it was the worst best thing that could have happened to his film career.
Try this old chestnut on for size: prevention is better than cure. It is also said that hindsight is 20/20. Some Gmail users will be experiencing the emotional mechanics of these two philosophical musings after the online email giant “lost” the entire contents of 148 000 user accounts earlier in the week. We thought we’d share a little advice.
It’s a special special time, my friends. Sure, the iPhone 4 launch was epic and the launch of the iPad was verging on orgasmic. But, come on – a whole new range of Macbook Pros? Mmm – just when you thought you were happy, Apple and Digicape raise the bar even further. Do yourself a […]
In case you guys were worried that you wouldn’t be seeing Anne Hathaway in vinyl leather anytime soon, fear not: Hathaway has confirmed that she’s been cast as Selina Kyle in The Dark Night Rises, the third in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Please don’t talk about Halle Berry.
Here’s a fact about that hamburger patty on your Maccy D’s burger: it does not come from a singular cow named Bessie. Instead, the likelihood of her meat, along with 20 other of her friends all ground up together and pressed into a patty is pretty strong. There’s also the possibility that the butcher might have used chimp meat.
Well here’s some sport’s news from those kooky guys in fun-lovin’ Iran. The world’s craziest government has now decided that the 2012 London Olympic Games logo is racist.
You read that headline and thought, why should I care? Well I’ll tell you why, cause giant holes in the moon are a big deal, especially since they present an amazing real-estate opportunity.
So we’ve managed to get extra info on this Clifton Shores project and it looks like (thankfully) the promo that was spotted online was shot over 17 months ago and was supposed to be seen as a call for castings when the show was casting over a year ago. I’m told that the current show […]
Shhh… Do you hear that? It’s the sound of hippies everywhere rejoicing at the new-school Volkswagen Kombi. The iconic vehicle, which first debuted in 1950, was a favorite at this week’s Geneva Motor Show and comes with a whole lot of new goodies.
A computer glitch has been held responsible for the poker machine-like behaviour a number of Australian Commonwealth Bank ATMs displayed yesterday. Sydney saw queues of up to 50 people assembling to have a go at the machines. This obviously attracted a police presence because many simply couldn’t contain themselves.
A Danish study has found that 70% of us find downloading files illegally from the net to be morally okay. No shit, hey? But here’s the twist: the same study, conducted a decade ago, had the same results.I somehow don’t think those gritty, hyper-cool ads telling us that downloading a movie is as bad as stealing a handbag helped.
The Facebook programmers are busily working away on new features that give third-party developers and external websites the ability to access users’ home addresses and cellphone numbers. Now isn’t that charming?
Anonymous, the online sort-of-anarchic sort-of-activist group, forced Aaron Barr, head of HBGary Federal, the massive American tech security company, to resign. Which is sort of a huge deal in the way that Charlie Sheen isn’t. Even though I love everything that Charlie Sheen touches.
Is Robert Mugabe next? Zimbabwe Uprising: Is Robert Mugabe Next? – Internet campaigns calling for protests against the 31-year rule of President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday did not lead to any mass gatherings in Zimbabwe, where police have threatened to crush any “Egypt-style” protests. The two campaigns, on Facebook and Twitter, were trying to start popular […]
Take us to your leader. We come in peace. ET phone home. They don’t say much, but they sure know how to get to the point! ‘The X-Files’ knew “The Truth Is Out There” with dramatised cases of real government conspiracies and where there’s smoke, there’s a smouldering alien spacecraft. Don’t just take it from […]
It was one of those killer sunsets tonight. You know, the kind that makes you go, “oh my effing word check that sunset where is my camera!” That’s exactly what I did tonight at The Safe House and I sent it out as a tweet. So for those of who who don’t follow me on […]
Raining on the parade of a boutique ice-cream shop called “The Icecreamists”; authorities in England have seized their stock of human breast milk ice-cream.
South Africa’s very own surgery tourism trade has boomed for a while. We’ve been well-known as a great destination for the industry because we’re inexpensive. Now the smoke around the kidney transplant scam has finally begun to bellow. Over the weekend Netcare decided it was no longer going to comment on the scandal.
Teodorin Obiang, the 41-year-old son of Equatorial Guinea’s dictator, who has in the past done business in Clifton with local real estate agent, Denise Dogon, has commissioned the building of a luxury superyacht for himself worth $380 million – three times more than his country spends annually on health and education. The suspicion is that […]
Supatra Sasuphan, an 11 year-old girl from Bangkok has suddenly gone from zero to hero at school after being named the Guinness World Record’s Hairiest Girl in the World. Ag sweet, man!
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, is attempting to trademark his name for use in “public speaking services” and “entertainment services.” Personally I’d exercise a little more energy on the whole ‘I’m being extradited to Sweden for charges of rape and sexual assault,’ thing, but maybe this is more important.
Panama defender and Deportivo Pereira player, Luis Moreno is in a lot of trouble after he kicked an owl.
I’ve been rolling with a new range of golf shirts of late, thanks to Merchants On Long. You might have seen them before – with the embroided warrior, raising his shield. Very cool vibe, and something you should probably take a look at. They’re 100% cotton, made right here in Cape Town. So not only […]
Our commander-in-chief had to be rescued by his bodyguards when an unidentified woman got a little too frisky with him at a gala event in Sun City. The party, which was celebrated on the eve of the ANC’s election manifesto, has left our leader with the daunting task of explaining the incident to not one wife, but three. And you thought being president was easy.
Remember Paul? The octopus who predicted the soccer World Cup results. Well, meet Heidi, the cross-eyed opossum who predicted winners for this years Oscars. She came up one pick sort of perfectly predicting the top Oscar awards. She’s a little bit creepy, but cute.
With mainstream local media finding itself plenty to keep busy with over the last few days, a nice little presidential renovation story slipped past almost unnoticed. The top dog is obviously sprucing things up rather nicely at home because it’s costing close to R200 million.
A traditional healer is currently being accused of murder in Pietermaritzburg. But the local community alleges that he is about to employ the services of tokoloshes to tamper with or steal his court dockets.
So hey, if you aren’t up-to-date on the adventures of Charlie Sheen, warlock, this video summarizes it pretty well. There really isn’t that much exaggeration coming from the animators; they’re just displaying Sheen’s claims to possessing “fire breathing fists,” and F-18 – like qualities. Notice the Snow-man.
It’s Show Time! Soldiers and dozens of tanks from the Libyan military’s elite Khamis Brigade, led by Gadhafi’s youngest son Khamis Gadhafi, take positions on Monday about 6 miles outside Zawiya. US Troops Get Ready To Enter Libya – Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi were massed near the Tunisian border on Tuesday and […]
A lot of people said that it would be hard to top last year’s Vibe party – but that was obviously before we pulled out the little ace up our sleeve, in the form of The Grand Cafe And Beach who will be presenting this year’s Vibe party. And for those of you trying to […]
