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.
Cameron’s Dad’s House Is For Sale – You may remember the amazing Ben Rose home from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” The scene: Cameron has a breakdown when he returns his dad’s Ferrari and discovers that hundreds of miles have been added to the odometer.

Forbes have released the latest update of the 400 richest people in America, and it read likes a who’s-who of global masonry. Those money-grubbers have a combined worth of $1,37 trillion. Goodness gracious, that must buy a heap of private geography lessons.

Watch him flaunt his God given talents.
Arkansas state suffered two major wildlife anomalies this past weekend. Arkansas residents’ first indication that all was not well with their fauna friends was the mass exodus from the sky of more than four thousand Red Wing Blackbirds. The birds didn’t just land on the ground – they plummeted from the sky, stone dead, at night.
It was just a month ago that a reader sent in proof that Stodels Nursery was selling ‘Ass Succulents.’ We agreed that this made sense, giving the current demand for Ass Products. But Ass Succulent sales were clearly off the charts, as Stodels is now also selling Pear Ass and Peach Ass. Who would have thought? Check it out after the link.
Umbrellas are flying in Klopse circles about this year’s march not happening when or where it should have. Klopse leaders Richard “Pot” Stemmet (no relation) and Melvyn Matthews – who were once dik pelle in Victor Verster – are now bitter rivals one accusing the other of “selling out to white people”. That last point is a bit puzzling.
Most of you will be well aware that 2oceansvibe’s energy drink of choice is none other than 100% natural Pussy Energy Drink. We’ve been supporting the flavoursome drink for a couple years – ever since we started drinking it that time in Los Angeles. So anyway it looks like we aren’t the only ones – […]

Katy Perry is widely regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful women. Russell Brand has shattered that perception. There really is something to be said for the argument that social media should not breach the boundaries of a man and wife’s marriage bed. Click the link to see what I’m talking about.
A software glitch in the iPhone 4 has rendered its alarm useless since New Year’s Day. The latest reports indicate the glitch has not yet been fixed amid fears many iPhone fanatics are teetering on the edge of a coma. If you know someone with an iPhone 4, give them a call. They need you right now.
Facebook has been valued at more than $50 billion, which is more than Time Warner. Justin Timberlake probably thinks that’s really cool. The Great Folly Of Zuckerberg cracked the 50 billion mark after raising $500 million in investment from Goldman Sachs, and a Russian company called Digital Sky.
Joost van der Westhuizen’s role-model reputation in South Africa is shot to pieces. The man must be acutely aware of that fact, because you don’t just waltz into a toy store and drop forty grand on toys for homeless children without either checking with your book keeper, or your PR agent, first.
I’m not sure if you caught the live financial indicators on the right-hand side of the page, but the Rand is absolutely KILLING it against the US Dollar. At the current rate, I’m renting movies from the US iTunes store at R26 a shot – and some of them haven’t even hit the circuit here in SA. Let me show you how.
Show Some Skin For Free Clothes – People in their underwear waited to get clothes for free outside a clothing store in Madrid.

Christians everywhere, present company included, are feeling various levels of indignity, ranging from mild irksomeness to apoplectic rage, and they’re directing those emotions toward the much beloved BBC television show, Top Gear.

Better put this one on your New Year’s resolution list: Don’t follow Ricky Romance, make sure he’s not following you and if you see them recommend you follow him – delete your twitter account. Watch him hand out twitter tips and a death threat to Chris Brown after some particularly nasty exchanges in 140 characters or less.
Dawn at The Safe House – 31 December 2010 Mickey Rourke To Play Gay Rugby Star – He’s not going to make a film about a gay rugby player. He’s going to make one about a rugby player who happens to be gay. That’s how Mickey Rourke put it this week when he revealed his […]

The revolutionary new system was first tested in Braamfontein and will now be rolled out to the rest of the city. The city council and metro police will promptly reconvene in the board room to brainstorm places people can walk other than sidewalks. The side of the road will not be considered as this is already reserved for parking.
That headline is not misleading in any way. After inventing the game, and then being beaten at it by almost every one of your former colonies, the English regained a small measure of cricketing pride by spanking the Australian cricket team at the MCG. It took all of fifteen minutes to squander their new found dignity.
