It is tradition here at 2oceansvibe to “call it” when it feels right for us (for you). I remember back in 2007, we called it on September 17. Well it looks like it’s 11 days later this year. Don’t know why – probably a combination of El Nino, global warming and Michael Jackson’s death. Quietly […]
I’m not 100% sure if this is for public consumption, but I’m gonna roll with it anyway. I mean really, MY inbox is YOUR inbox right? You remember the other day I swung by the ELLE Magazine cover shoot with District 9 star, Vanessa Haywood? You may have even caught the video of me and […]
There was a U.N. meeting at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on Wednesday, during which US President Barack Obama had to endure 130 photographs with visiting foreign dignitaries. ALL THE PHOTOS can be seen one-by-one on the State Department’s flikr page. Or, what you might prefer, and the reason for this post; […]
Brigitte BardotBorn : 28 September 1934 Brigitte Bardot turns 75 today. She starred in 48 films, recorded 80 songs and established herself as an animal rights activist. She also became somewhat outspoken in her criticism of immigration, race-mixing, some homosexuality and Islam. As a result, she has been convicted five times for “inciting racial […]
From bowling to boning! It looks like there are more things to think about before a big game, besides fielding practice and the bowling machine. Gary Kirsten believes a good session before heading on to the sports field is all India’s cricketers need to bring home the trophies. Judging by the action the boys get, […]
I’ve noticed a HELLUVA lot of adverts for the new Range Rover online, as well as offline. I just want to say right now that I STRONGLY urge you NOT to buy one. I say this to you as your friend, brand meister and, as an “opinion leader” I feel it’s my duty. Whether it’s […]
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe says many white farm owners occupied the land illegally and “historically have a debt.” Enjoy this CNN interview and keep an eye on anchor, Christiane Amanpour, as she literally shakes with anger. I don’t know why people get so upset about Robert Mugabe. It’s a chemical imbalance in his brain. […]
Hello, my Friday lovers. Look what I’ve got for you!! Heather LocklerKilling it..

If you’re reading this it means that Seth has given me permission to go and celebrate my heritage. Just know that I go with a heavy heart and an empty bladder- missing a Thursday Roundup absolutely guts me. Through the power of words I am able to convey feelings and emotions that come from the […]
Well the gloves are well and truly off. Not to be outdone by Mail & Guardian’s use of the uncensored word “fuck” in a recent article (this, not long after News24, without any censoring whatsoever, published the words “cocksucker,” “fuck,” and “cunt” in the same article (hey, I’m just quoting here)), Media24 have stepped things […]
Remember how our parentals tried to force-feed us as children… “Here comes the aeroplane”, “If you eat the crust you’ll get a deep voice” and “Don’t make me come down there!”. Okay, maybe the last one was only for special occasions, but that’s what watching The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 is like, except […]
I won’t have to walk very far from my suite at the Cape Royale, downstairs to 1800 restaurant on Sunday; as they showcase over 50 wines, cheeses and chocolates! The Cape Royale Food & Beverage Manager gave me a glimpse of what they’re doing and I can promise you this is NOT to be missed. […]
I know it’s incredibly late and for a man of my stature incredibly emboerrissing to say this, but I’ve only just started getting into The Sopranos. I left it too long, I know – especially for a series which has been hailed as one of the greatest series the world has ever seen. […]
My boy Travis gave me the heads up on this one as we downed another glass of De Grendel in Bakoven the other night. It’s too damn funny and I must caution those of you with weak bladders to perhaps relieve yourselves before pressing play. Will Ferrel is in it. That’s all I’m saying. […]
Hey gang, Just a quick housekeeping notice. I get all sorts of emails regarding 2oceansvibe performance; things to do with big white spaces at the top of the page, errors, timeouts and God knows what else. One thing remains constant every time I ask those readers what browser they’re using – Microsoft Internet Explorer. Bad, […]
Kevin FederlineYu!

Megan Fox has punished herself by referring to her Transformers director as a Napoleon and Hitler type. But there’s no surprise there, we’ve always known that Megas doesn’t pack a full one. The big result here was an open letter from director Michael Bay’s crew who got deep into it. Megan Fox The way […]
2oceansvibe applauds Mail & Guardian, who are just a step behind News24, as they openly publish (without any censoring) the word “fuck.” A proud day for traditional South African media! I say “a step behind,” because News24 have already proven to be more than liberal in their application of the English language – recently publishing […]
Top celebrities and sports stars have risen to the challenge of raising funds for street youth charity MylifE by donating signed underwear for auction… All shapes and sizes of bras, boxers, knickers and sportswear will be on offer over the coming months, with some of the special edition items going up for sale at the […]
It’s all getting a bit much with regards to the “optional extras” one can add to one’s superyacht. Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it […]
Pot calling the kettle awesome Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol (yawn), faces its toughest critic yet: Michael Baigent, the historian who accused Brown of lifting his material in The Da Vinci Code (and lost in court).

It’s already launched in Europe and Audi Centre Cape Town tells us the following: R8 Spyder Specs # 5.2 FSI quattro Mid-mounted V10 engine producing 386 kW […]
We cover quite a diverse range of issues, here at 2oceansvibe Media. Not least of which is the beaten-dog acceptance of our local traditional media. Traditional media run by imbeciles who can’t see the light for the piles of money they’re paying themselves, as they wade through the pools of blood, forming as a result […]
My “homes,” Joe Bones, over at our little baby sister site, rivercityvibe.com, spotted something terribly terribly amazing. This is the vibe he’s going for: I am about to make a big, big call. Here it is: The video below is the funniest thing I have seen this year. It hits me in that special […]
That’s two “penis” headlines within a week! As we close in on News24. Well I’m so glad I found this, as it has always been a hidden concern of mine. Being confident of one’s size in real life is one thing, but what about online? Are they taking me seriously enough? That’s when I found […]
Most of you should, by now, be aware of the history behind the brands Puma and Adidas – two companies that were one, before the Dassler brothers split it in two. If you want to know more about it, I strongly advise you read the book Pitch Invasion. But now, 60 years after their founders […]

There’s something very special about logging into News24.com and finding yourself confronted with the leading story shown below: The “Penis Killers” were fired.. They say it in a way that suggests you should know about these characters. In a way that suggests everyone is talking, quite frankly, about the “Penis Killers.” Can you imagine the […]
I’ve never really had more than five positive visits in a row to the Camps Bay “Friendly” store and am surprised that I still visit the place, let alone get worked up about the shoddy service, stock take and queue times. If anything, they get an “A” for consistency. Last Sunday was no different. […]
