Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest video or is the joke on us?
It’s polo time again, people, and 2oceasvibe is giving away FOUR pairs of tickets to Saturday’s match between SA and India. As you will no doubt be aware, the event, held at Val de Vie, is the height of elegance and sophistication – so best you flip through a few copies of GQ and Vogue […]
Boxing is one of those sports that has fascinated Hollywood for ages… It’s easy to see how the blood, sweat and tears shed in the boxing ring could inspire films like Raging Bull and Rocky. Yet, the real drama happens outside the ring in preparation, training, media speculation and in betting circles.
So hey, I think this is the coolest think I’ve seen today – the music video to glam-rapper Spoek Mathambo’s reinterpretation of Joy Division’s ‘She’s Lost Control,’ shot in Langa, Cape Town, and directed by crazy influential photographer Pieter Hugo.
As a born and bred Joburger, this headline tastes like sweet justice. Looks like Jozi isn’t the only city that’s going to be klapped by the new tolling system. Capetonians are in for it too. See, that’s karma for you, you can’t have that mountain and stunning city without some repercussions.
Two women from the Ukrainian rights group “Femen” have been jailed for stripping off in protest against Italian pervert, and sometimes Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi’s alleged sexual misconduct.
Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest music video? Find out after the break…
I was doing my thing in London in the late 90’s – you know, hanging at the Met Bar, getting fussy about pin-stripe suits and enjoying the exchange rate (20 to 1 when I left, can you believe it!). But one thing stood out during my time in London, and that was the chairs my […]
This was one of the remarks made by Trevor when he addressed a press briefing relating to the acid mine water drainage situation around jozi. We should take cognisance as it comes from the man who spent many years in charge of our country’s finances and who is also arguably the most trustworthy politician around. If that exists.
If you lived during the middle ages and suffered from Tourette’s, they called it possession by demons and burned you at the stake. Or made you the village idiot. But we’ve come a long way since then – thanks to a single pill taken daily, most people with psychiatric diseases like Parkinsons, OCD or even depression lead normal lives. Here’s humanity’s next step forward.
Forget the yacht; right now, submarines are where it’s at. So it’s pretty handy that the ‘Ego’ submergable craft by Korean company Raonhaje is going to be available a little later in the year; I mean yes the name is a little silly, but that’s okay because you’ll be the kind of person that owns a submarine.
It seems too good to be true, but a Bavarian brewery has been marketing delicious sports beer since 2001 and I’m only finding out about it now.
Yeah dude, I rock! Gadaffi Vows To Die A Martyr – Moammar Gadaffi vowed to die in Libya as a martyr in an angry tv address on Tuesday, as eastern regions had broken free from his rule in a burgeoning revolt. “I am not going to leave this land, I will die here as a martyr,” […]
I am always amused at how some people (myself included) only play the overseas lottos when the jackpots are over a billion. Like we couldn’t be bothered putting in the effort if the jackpot is only R500 million! Well, my friends, we’re in luck, because Wednesday’s US Powerball lotto jackpot is sitting on $155Million – […]
Street artist, Banksy, who has been nominated in the best documentary category for Exit Through The Gift Shop, has been told by the Academy award chiefs that he can’t attend the Oscars in disguise. Once again proving that the Academy are really just like a retiree committee, only richer.
The earthquake in Haiti last year caused massive destruction, but even more chaos looms in the aftermath. Traffickers are taking advantage of the situation by kidnapping, buying or stealing children. Some are being auctioned off to well-meaning yet ignorant western families while others are being forced into prostitution.
This past Thursday visitors to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, which is located in the North West province near Rustenburg, were treated to a rather unpleasant experience. The new car that they were travelling in appears to have become the victim of a case of mistaken identity for a large and aroused bull elephant.
This guy is so amped for you to join him when he runs the Tokyo Marathon that he has constructed something called the iRig. It contains four iPhones, an Android, an iPad, three wireless routers, a weather station, a heart rate monitor, and a mock satellite dish up on his head.
Music executive Steve Stoute took out a full-page advert in the NYT’s Styles section on Sunday to display his open letter to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, slamming the Grammys for having become “a series of hypocrisies and contradictions.”
Every now and then, during my long trawl through the Internet, I find some interesting crime news from KTLA, a news channel based in Las Vegas. But yesterday I found three stories about people murdering other people for seemingly trivial reasons. So I thought, I must share. Click the link..
British pop icon, Annie Lennox, was spotted this morning in popular Cape Town artisan coffee shop, Origin.

For days rumours have bounced back and forth claiming Zimbabweans and the people of the Kingdom of Swaziland should follow the example of the Egyptians and Tunisians and themselves revolt against their dictatorships. Now 46 Zimbo’s have been arrested for attempting to watch some BBC and Al Jazeera videos on a projector.
Shrien Dewani has been hospitalised after taking an overdose of unspecified pills in an apparent suicide attempt. Dewani, who was absent from both of his extradition hearings due to “medical ailments”, has reportedly lost over 12 kilograms since allegations of his contract killing of his wife emerged in November 2010.
A quarter of a ton is 250 kilograms! To anyone with half a brain, this seems a bit much for a 17 year-old girl to weigh. In fact, doctors say that if she keeps up the good work, there won’t be a 21st for her to enjoy cake at. Yet, and tell me if that’s just me, but she seems to be smiling in the picture to my left?
Man, when was the last time a Facebook App was actually useful? I mean, Facebook is inherently a timesink, and this app isn’t so much useful as it is creepy, but semantics. The Breakup Notifier does what is says on the tin – it lets you know the second your crush isn’t in a relationship anymore.
That’s right, an Egyptian man has, as a show of appreciation to Facebook in helping to organise the January 25th protests in Cairo, named his baby Facebook.
Moammar Gadaffi Has Not Fled Libya Gadaffi Has Not Left Libya – Is Defiant In Face Of Rising Revolt – Libyan leader Moammar Gadaffi appeared briefly on state television on Tuesday signalling his defiance in the face of a mounting revolt against his 41-year rule. In his first address since the protests started last week, he […]
Just yesterday a friend of mine who recently quit his job to live the holiday said this to me. “You know, it’s amazing, I actually have time to get things done now. I can actually complete admin tasks.” I knew what he was getting at. The majority of us are roped in to 9-5 jobs. […]
Witnessing U2 in concert was a big deal for a lot of people, but spotting Ryan Reynolds (in town shooting a film with Denzel Washington) at the concert may well have increased the blood pressure of a few young ladies! We managed to get hold of a few pics of Ryan Reynolds at Friday’s concert. […]
