It’s no secret that I am a petanque (or “boules”) champion in the Provencial town of Menerbes – extending perhaps as far as Lacoste and, dare I say, Avignon. It is rumoured that Pierre Cardin wants to challenge me for the title, but that remains to be seen. Imagine my excitement when I clapped eyes […]
It goes without saying that the 10 September YOU Magazine issue which featured yours truly (on page 130) is causing absolute mayhem overseas.

Our traditional media sometimes misses the 2oceansvibe part of the story they’re publishing. Take for example this latest article which comes from News24 (Beeld).

When someone told me that Vanilla Ice is coming to perform in South Africa, I told him he was talking rubbish. That’s when he grabbed me by the arm and said, “Hey, Seth, why don’t you just stop, collaborate and listen for a change!” Vanilla Ice I did, and It looks like it’s […]

I’m really so impressed with the support shown for this campaign. It’s such a brilliant concept, which let’s you the public donate your old jeans to those who need them – in return for Levi’s shopping vouchers. Genius! So there was a live 5FM broadcast at UCT last Friday, which added another 405 […]
This is not a drill. This is the real thing. Kelly BrookRight here. Right now. Have you noticed how Kelly doesn’t have to starve herself to be sexy? Do you think she’d be as appealing if she was skin and bones? No, is the answer.
It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is for The TBG to adapt to normal situations with normal people, talking about normal things. He just seems to know how to put the whole room at ease. Again, it’s just his aura and his sheer brilliance and genius. Just look at this latest sighting. […]
A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly.

South Africa is a complicated place. The mind boggles at some of the stuff that goes down here- strikes, senseless killings, corruption and divided politics are things that we, as South Africans, deal with on a daily basis. It has apparently gotten so bad, that certain individuals qualify for refugee status abroad. But watching the […]

I’ve seen her around town at the right events and establishments, being a good model – looking pretty and laughing at the correct times.

Public Enemy was one of the films that cemented Jimmy Cagney in the old Hollywood. No, they didn’t erect a statue and he didn’t get dropped off at the docks.
