Rob Taylor, the property tycoon from Howick (KZN) who donated his R2,03 million Audi R8 to two car guards at the base of Table Mountain in January of 2010, is suspected of committing suicide by leaping from the base of the top cable car station on Sunday evening.
A laboratory in Israel is spending its research grant on the very creepy task of harvesting the tears of sad women. According to Shani Gelstein, scientist and tear collector, men found pictures of women less sexually attractive just after smelling the tears of women.
The folks at the Super Top Secret advertising firm are taking any Ed Hardy or Affliction t-shirt you send them and donating the clothing to the homeless. We like to keep our bird/stone ratio pretty solid here at 2ov, so the possibility of lowering the global douchebag quotient and helping out the lower-income brackets appeals.
I know, I was surprised too. Some dudes in Canada decided to hurl a couple of bottles of flouroscein into the Goldstream River, turning the whole thing bright flouro green. Way to one-up the Old Testament, Canada. I thought you guys were supposed to be nice.
Paul Mason, once the most grossly obese man on the planet, wants to sue Britain’s National Health Service for “letting him grow”. At one stage Mason weighed in at very nearly 410 Kg, but after gastric-bypass surgery the virtually waif-like Mason now weighs 235 Kg.
This is a novel idea from our ruling party: Move the end of year party to the start of the year, stretch it out over a weekend and end the whole thing with a concentrated celebration bash at the Moses Mabhida stadium. Add class to the event by serving Jack Daniel’s honey-glazed boerewors and subsidising the liquor. Now who said governing shouldn’t be fun?
Skulls in lighthouses, unidentified bodies on Table Mountain, and mass food poisonings in Somerset West – it’s been a fairly strange three days in Cape Town.
A massive congratulations must go to the organisers of the 150th running of the Queen’s Plate horse race, who put on an event second to none. With the day delivering an wild array of excitement and smouldering beauty, there was barely a moment to catch one’s breath before Locnville, Zebra & Giraffe and Gizelle hit the stage for an evening concert to rival any international event. Photo gallery and celebs after the jump.

Having never met before, SA cricket captain, Graeme Smith and SA surf champ, Jordy Smith, finally met at Cafe Caprice this week. Apparently they were downing 2oceansvibe cocktails all night. Because that’s how they….? *Have you spotted any celebs around town? Send ’em through and you will be rewarded 😉
Britney Spears’s latest single, “Hold It Against Me” leaked on the internet. I gave it a listen. It’s doef-doef with Britney singing about rubbing up on someone accompanied by some catchy backing tracks. Nothing new and we’ll probably hear it a million times the next 100 weeks or so. What is surprising though, is the unidentified woman in the artwork released with the single.
Cape Town Temperatures Soar – With no wind to cool the vibe down, temperatures in the Mother City have reached unprecedented levels over the past few days, with many drivers noticing their in-car temperature gauges displaying some alarming figures. 51 degrees is the highest we have seen so far.

At 12:00PM on Saturday, the 8th of January 2011, three monstrously tough unicyclists and their support car will arrive in at Mouille Point lighthouse after completing a 44-day off-road tour, from Durban to Cape Town, on UNICYCLES.

Look, we all knew it was coming. The end of the world might be the original case of not if, but when. The Apocalypse is here, guys. They even made a movie about it with a typo reading 2012 where it should have said 2011.
Kim Jong Il, the bluebird on the arc of the rainbow, the morning stag – Our Dear Leader – has offered the simpering worms, South Korea, an olive branch of peace. Will South Korea take that branch, or will they perish in a Sea Of Flame?
You probably read in this morning’s spice about the Saffer who played Obama’s mama in a movie and then got busted. Now, we’re used to hearing of Saffers smuggling contraband abroad but never against the backdrop of a movie featuring a young Obama playing albasters. So here, free of charge, is that movie’s trailer. An indie flick. Made in Indo. Starring a model junkie. Compulsory viewing, really.
Great song lyrics are almost impossible to master. And that’s before they’ve even been weaved into a perfect melody. When the two come together it’s alchemy. Some songwriters only manage it once in their lifetimes. We have a name for them. Hands up who knows what it is. Writing a great lyric seems like it […]
This is just a little glimpse for all of you of how a “gift drop” normally goes down at 2oceansvibe Radio. Also, it’s a fairly accurate glimpse into our hectic, terrible work conditions. We’re basically enslaved, I’m not sure if you know. If you have any spicy pics of Rich Hardiman on the beach in […]
SA Model In Drug Bust SA Model In International Drug Bust – A South African actress who played Barack Obama’s mother in an Indonesian film about the U.S. president’s early life has been arrested and charged with drug possession, Jakarta police said on Wednesday.

When you hear the name Josh Groban, the violin line from “You Raise Me Up” starts wilting away in your head, hey? That’s because that was the only song that guy frigging sang for about two years. But hey, all power too him – the man is fabulously succesful nowadays. And with all that record […]

Digital drones, light cycles, frisbee wars, skin tight body suits and daddy issues… welcome to the playground of TRON. It may sound like an ordinary day at the park, but it’s not. TRON: Legacy is the long-awaited remake/sequel/mash-up of the original TRON (1982). Jeff Bridges returns to play an older Kevin Flynn and a much […]
Man, am I glad I’m not a 2010 matric. Sure, they got the holiday of their lives when the World Cup came along, but that was quickly followed by their teachers striking for months. It wasn’t very long after that the self-same teachers said right, let’s sit some exams. Naturally the press is alleviating the stress of this situation by telling matriculants that they won’t find jobs.
This is the fourth installment of the weekly Sex In The Mother City series. When she’s not partying, she’s figuring out the best means of getting into the parties that matter. This week Kira teams up with her new-found wing-man (wing-lady?), Celeste, who is as much of a sexual magnet as Kira. With time running […]
Look, make no mistake, it’s bloody hot. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard Capetonians deliver the classic, “Fuck it’s hot hey?” Indeed it is, and the lack of wind makes it even hotter. Not that we’re complaining – this is fine, especially after that 10 day hurricane we had in December! Judging […]
Joao Silva, who can easily be described as one of South Africa’s most accomplished photographers, is on the mend in the Walter Reed Army Medical Centre after losing both of his legs below the knee while on assignment for the New York Times in Afghanistan. The next stage of his recovery is physical therapy and rehabilitation.
Gwyneth Paltrow opened up recently and said she felt like a zombie after giving birth to her son in 2006. She said this is weird because she felt, like, on top of the world after her first baby was born in 2004. Well Gwyneth, I’m afraid that’s exactly what’s going to happen if you give birth to organisms named Apple and Moses.
RIP Gerry Rafferty, composer and performer of the 1978 hit, Baker Street, best known for its iconic sax line.
A Philippino politician may have been among the first people in the world to die in 2011, but that’s not even the most remarkable part of the story. Reynaldo Dagsa of Calacoon City had been woken by his family just in time to celebrate the New Year with them on the street, where fireworks were on display. Moments later, his life ended.
