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.

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.”

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.

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. […]
Eighty-five cents out of every R1 profit made from construction and operation of Gauteng’s controversial open road tolling system could land up in the pockets of an Austrian traffic conglomerate.
Ever seen a guy launch himself over a Kia, only to catch a ball thrown out of the sun roof and slam-dunk to win the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest? No, neither had the judges and that’s why LA Clippers power forward and NBA rising star Blake Griffin won the 2011 version of the dunking contest. Impressive [a la Darth Vader].
Adriaan Bergh has done the unthinkable, the unbelievable, the improbable, even. Adriaan Bergh has been crowned Mr South Africa, 2011. Can. You. Believe. It. Click through for the road to glory.
And that’s because scientists have proven, with a rather deceitful method, that you were merely mistaken all along and that there’s no possible way you could actually have had an out-of-body experience. Why? Because your senses were just confused and they tricked you into believing it happened.
There was like so much drama (insert nasal whine) at the Joburg Fashion week. David Tlale’s finale on the Nelson Mandela Bridge started two hours late, which lead to many people leaving before it started, and several sad little schmodels. See, Derek Zoolander was right; life’s hard, even when you’re really, really, ridiculously good looking.

Well hey, this could be fun. Since Jon Favreau – director of Iron Man and its sequel – decided not to sign on for the series’ third installment, Marvel’s been on the hunt for a suitable replacement, and it looks like Shane Black, writer of Lethal Weapon and director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is the guy.
According to a United States Embassy cable obtained by City Press, the ANC is a “complete mess”. I could have told you this to be completely honest, but apparently you need “evidence” to prove things these days.
You may be aware that there have been Himalayan Tahr’s living on the slopes our beloved Table Mountain for many years. The population has dwindled in recent times, and it was decided to remove all of the exotic creatures for good. However, a have few managed to evade the sniper’s barrel. Until now.
