You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are possibly the coldest on-screen Hollywood couple since Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters, may they rest in peace. Cruise has always been a little distant, giving that looking-into-the-Sun gaze to the point that it’s become more of a glaze. What’s more, he’s embarrassed himself in the media so many times […]
Just yesterday I received an email from a reader saying they watched Just Jinjer in Johannesburg who had this to say: “holy shitballs they rocked amazing stage presence I went with some music mates and they must have creamed their pants several times…especially when they did that water and ice drum solo…INSANE..” Now you don’t […]
You know AB De Villiers, the South African cricket team’s star batsman? Well, he’s singing now – the recorded kind. And, best of all, he’s making music videos for his moer lekker treffers. In his powerful ballad, titled Maak Jou Drome Waar (“Make Your Dreams Come True), AB teams up with previously obscure but presumably […]
For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger. This following excerpt was taken from last year’s burger special announcement: I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab […]
What happened next? Whale Breaches Onto Yacht In Cape Town – Two members of the Cape Town Sailing Academy had a narrow escape recently, as a Southern Right Whale breached directly onto their yacht (*cough* port side, if I’m not mistaken) – almost completely destroying the vessel. The images tell the story of the damage […]
You know what could have made Twilight (any and all media produced under that banner) better? This could have. But that’s just personal opinion, correct? Well, seeing as the next graphic comes in the form of scientific data, it’s totally irrefutable.
With the likes of the UK shutting down the FM signal completely, combined with our increased need for non-stop internet, it’s no wonder Subaru are following in Audi’s tracks by developing cars with built-in 3G. The Subaru Outback, a “crossover” SUV and yuppie icon that seems naked without a ski rack on top and several […]
There is a particularly handsome homeless man in China. And people are FREAKING OUT about it. Web forum locals in China have dubbed the sultry street walker “Brother Sharp”, apparently with reference to his hauntingly good looks and snappy avant garde dressing style. Mmm, yes. Those homeless bastards sure do know how to trump us […]
Not content with public notices blatantly confirming they will turn a blind eye to gay sex in the bathrooms, Virgin Active are taking the sexual innuendo messages even further. This time they are encouraging members to strip naked and help the “drainage” problem they’re having. The notice requests members to “bare” with them. Virgin Active […]
The Cloondog – killing it in court.. Clooney Causes Havoc In Milan Court – It’s a long time since a fraud trial has provoked this much interest. Crowds thronged around a tiny Milan courtroom, mobiles in hand, hoping to get a snap of the main witness. And at one point the judge was forced to […]
2oceansvibe Radio has the great honour of hosting South Africa’s leading cellist, Carol Thorns, for even a brief few moments at an upcoming media launch. And whilst I might be fully aware of her talents, and the fact that she is heading to the Edinburgh Festival (25 shows!), I had no idea that she was […]
My GOD, I loved ninja stars as a child! It’s been so long and what better way for the beautiful stars of death to be reintroduced into my life, than in the new Brandon Flowers (The Killers lead singer) solo music video. And not only are they featured in the video, but it’s got Charlize […]
Well with Mel Gibson’s latest rage and George Michael smashing his Range rover into a shop, pissed, one can only be impressed with these quick-off-the-mark thinkers. This, sent in by Nick W, which his mate took and sent him – taken at the very Snappy Snaps outlet which George Michael crashed into. the damage is […]
I hope by now that you’re all well versed in sarcasm, and you’ll take the first part of that headline appropriately. Here’s the scoop: Convicted fraudster and conman extraordinaire, Tsepang Morie, managed to hoodwink the entire Springbok rugby team and management by posing as the head of the team’s security detail ahead of their first […]
Louis Oosthuizen Wins British Open Louis Oosthuizen (SA) Wins British Open! – Throughout a march toward the British Open championship that went from improbable to inexorable with each stride down the Old Course’s hardening fairways Sunday, three things about Louis Oosthuizen did not change: his demeanor, his swing tempo and his resilience. Oosthuizen, whose prominent […]
Love him or hate him, but mostly hate him, Sepp Blatter was the lucky recipient of the Order of the Companions of OR Tambo, bestowed upon his reverend person by the magnanimous nation of South Africa. Well, alright then. You diplomats brown nose each other in whichever way you prefer. But, oh sweet heavens, how […]
Well the response to today’s show was unprecedented to say the least. And well done all of you for tuning in – my goodness, we received over 60 tweets during that short time! Thanks for the support, gang – all 100% positive and it sounds like you’ve all been looking for something like this for […]

Iin the final 500 metres of the 184.5km stage from Sisteron, the normally affable Australian lost his head […]
In the gulag that Seth has us working in, we have a beating chamber. It’s the one small mercy of my life at 2oceansvibe. When I’m relieved of my duties as a human coffee table (after meetings), I go back to the beating chamber, where I get to break microwaves, furniture and sunglasses from rival […]
I’m feeling all weird inside as I write this, but it would be wrong not to (write this) as one of Hollywoods youngest starlets, Dakota “The Fandog” Fanning, really is growing up. Sure, she’s only 16, but that’s about 28 in Hollywood years. I mean, if you think about it, Roman Polanski would have had […]
Czech it out. Eastern Europe is blessed with public servants who not only do their job, but look great doing it. Good grief. Members of the Public Affairs party will feature in a 2011 charity calendar posing provocatively in revealing outfits. The party’s racy calendar comes after a record 44 women were voted into the […]
THE LINKS IN THIS POST HAVE BEEN FIXED!!! Look, it’s getting a bit silly now as Radar Online releases this, the FOURTH installment of the Mel Gibson tapes. It’s off the charts, as you’ve come to expect (from episodes one, two and three), but I just want to say something here – if you listen […]
What’s your vibe, Roops? What’s Really Going On Behind Murdoch’s Paywall? – Rupert Murdoch is trying to make news at the Times and Sunday Times in London—but he’s not reporting on it. Will his paywall work is the biggest story in the media business, and it would be quite a journalistic coup to document the […]
Vaseline is taking capitalising on social pressures to a wonderfully tech-savvy level. They’ve launched a Facebook app for a range of skin lightening cream due to be released next month in India. The page name for the app is “Vaseline Men BE PREPARED“, and incites YOU to “Transform Your Face on Facebook With Vaseline Men” […]
“One, two, Freddy’s coming for you!” A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most successful horror franchises ever with more sequels than Rocky… giving Freddy Krueger, the burnt man with a fedora and bladed claw an all-access pass to our dreams for almost three decades! After Freddy’s “colleagues”, Halloween’s Michael Myers and Friday […]
Well I’m feeling much better about myself, now that Michael Corleone Al Pacino has become a “brand whore” (as they call it in South Africa) by doing his first endorsement – in the form of a 30 second TV commercial for Vittoria, a brand of coffee. I’m not quite sure what to think, other than […]
It’s that time of year again, as we welcome the shores of Jeffreys Bay to some of the hottest surfers on the planet. And yes, that does include Christian Kevin Kelly Slater and Wilbur Jordy Smith! 2oceansvibe Character, The Surfer, has been in the water over the last few days for his photoblog, “Welcome To […]
I heard about this around town but couldn’t find any footage of it – you know, the story about the guy who ran across the pitch before the start of the World Cup final. So instead of finding it myself, the footage found me! In the form of an email from 2oceansviber, Chris V. [Everybody] […]
