So the poster for 50 Cent’s new movie is out. Before I say anything, I think it’s best if you just bask in its glory.

It’s almost too beautiful for words. I’m having trouble breathing.

“One gun, many lives lost.”

GUN. Like, singular, right? You think maybe the one on the left is called Gun, and the one on the right is called Val Kilmer? Coz, I dunno, I couldn’t see him. Could you see him?

GUN.

Stunning.

Regular readers will know that I’ve worked on all sorts of campaigns over the last eight years – with most of them being very unique and different and fun in their own way. I have been working with the Smirnoff Experience “Mashup Street” with Tiesto vibe over the last few weeks and I can categorically tell you that I have NEVER encountered such madness and excitement about something as I have for this event and this Tiesto fellow. And I’m not just saying this now, I’ve been saying it non-stop for weeks – I mentioned it on radio the other day – it.is.phenomenal! Did you see the original article I posted? There are over 40 comments underneath – most of them featuring guys and girls losing their minds, begging and pleading for tickets.

Honestly – I’ve never seen anything like it!

Tiesto, baby!

As embarrassing as it is to say, I had never heard of Tiesto before working on this campaign. But with all the chaos of people losing their minds, I did some research. The guy was voted “Best DJ in the World three years in a row! Come now – that’s pretty serious! And what’s more, he is collaborating with South Africa’s hottest new Indie-Rock band, BLK JKS!

BLK JKS

So take Tiesto & BLK JKS, and then take this Smirnoff Experience vibe, which is an internationally recognised event (they’ve nailed everywhere from London and Moscow to Paris, Sydney and New York) and bring it to South Africa in a collaboration with SA street cultures and popular music genres. That, my friends, is “Mashup Street” – a uniquely South African international event of note!

And to make things even more mental, the tickets cannot be bought – only won!

There are only two days to enter! Competition closes TODAY!.

GO! GO! GO!

Not For Sale to Persons Under the Age of 18. Drink Responsibly

See, we told you it was the era of the instanet. Mweb offers cheap uncapped ADSL, and all of a sudden businesses everywhere are freaking out, losing their heads in acts of reckless generosity as they bring South Africa up to speed with the global village.

Like Skyrove, who’ve gone and hooked Capetonians up with free, that’s right FREE wireless internet in Greenmarket square for the next six months.

“Goodness gracious!”, I hear you say. “But how much are they giving us!?” you exclaim with one of those half-question, half-statement things.

OK, get ready. Promise you won’t freak out. PROMISE.

People are surprised when they find out how strict I am when it comes to seat belts. Much like Nick Goldblatt (Golders), I refuse to drive or let passengers join me without them wearing one. Even when the Cape Royale chauffeur drives me around, I buckle up in the back seat. Some people forget to do it or don’t think it’s cool. It’s got nothing to do with cool, it has to do with my natural instinct for self-preservation.

Nic S sent me this awesome video, which I would really like you all to watch. Especially the beautiful angels out there. I couldn’t handle it if something happened to you, my precious little treasures. So watch this brilliant video and buckle up for daddy, okay?

Pretty moving stuff, hey?

Do the right thing, gang, buckle up.

If not for yourself, then do it for the mother and family of your passengers or the people in the other car.

And let me tell you one more thing – wearing your seatbelt and insisting others do is actually very cool!

[thanks nic]

Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool.

But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems..

The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack device; which allows you to not only carry large volumes of beer, but also gives you that beer belly you have always desired. Finally, you can fit right in when you visit your buddies in the North.

I give you, The Beer Belly :

No, I am not kidding you.

I would never joke around about something like this.

In 2012 The Cigarette Brand Will Become Irrelevant

Ozzies Take Cigarette Pack Warnings To The Next Level – From January 2012, all cigarettes in Australia will be sold in plain packages. No logos, no shiny finishes, no bright colours, no pretty pictures. Instead, graphic health warnings will dominate the pack. In studies with young people, plain packs were perceived as dull and boring, cheap-looking and reduced the flair and appeal associated with smoking. Like those old Stuyvesant ads…mmmm. [smh]

Ridiculous World Cup Competition For Brazil Vs Portugal Game – For no reason other than love, Sony Ericsson and 2oceansvibe have offered an exclusive competition for 2OV readers. A pair of tickets, plus flights, transport and accommodation for the Brazil versus Portugal game in Durban on the 25th of June. But you better MOVE, as the competition ends on Monday! [details-here]

TopTV Launches On May Day – South Africa will see DSTV’s first satellite television competitor TopTV hit the airwaves on May 1. TopTV will offer a total of 55 channels in bouquets that range from R99 to R249 per month. TopTV CEO Vino Govender reckons they are going to change SA’s TV “landscape.” God it just cracks me up when guys throw around “landscape.” Nice one, Vino (if that’s your real name). [mail&guardian]

The 2010 Time 100 (Includes 31 Powerful Women) – It’s that time of the year again. Time Magazine’s Top 100 Most Influential People in the World! From leaders and heroes, to artists and thinkers, no-one says it better. Am I upset that they only do a top 100? Sure I am. If it was a top 200, at least I wouldn’t be worried about making the cut. With just 100, it’s quite tough, I’ll be honest. [time]

Steve Jobs Opens Up About Flash – If Apple’s position on Flash wasn’t perfectly clear, Steve Jobs has taken the time to write a 1500-word open letter regurgitating the party lines at length. In a word (or three), Apple’s position is “Flash sucks unwashed balls.” It’s nothing Apple hasn’t said before, in one form or another—that Flash is a closed battery-and-resource whore that sucks the life out of Apple’s innovation and you just don’t need it anyway. Wonderful. [gizmodo]

Jen Aniston Is Punishing Herself – So Brad Pitt digs Architectural Digest magazine. He has always digged it. Jen doesn’t give a toss about architecture, and never has. But now, she suddenly appears on the cover of the magazine. Brad and his pals reckon she is punishing herself. I do to . So desperate. Like all those models who appear on the cover of Marie Claire, knowing full well that I read it. Psychos! [foxnews]

Video: Porsche’s 911 GT3 RS Is So Easy A 10-year old kid can drive it – And now we give you the heartwarming tale of the Wörle family. Mr. Wörle owns a prominent Porsche dealership in Germany, and as such, his sons Steppi and Schorschi lend a hand around the family business. How does the guy reward them? By letting them compete at local auto club events with two 911 GT3 RS testers. Hold your breath.. [autoblog]

Arsenal Of Unexploded Bombs Found Outside Clooney’s House – Military experts have been called in to recover a deadly arsenal of unexploded wartime bombs found in the waters outside Hollywood star George Clooney’s Italian lakeside home. The deadly arsenal included hand grenades, mortars and aircraft bombs, found deep in the waters of Lake Como just 14 metres from the actor’s villa. Hectic Schmectic. [dailymail]

Tiger Had Sex With 120 Women – I know, they should just make it a thousand and call it a day. But seriously, the always accurate National Enquirer reckons that his sex counseling vibes revealed some new facts. Apparently the walking hard-on racked up a tally of 120. And that’s apparently excluding his neighbour’s daughter. No spice. [huffers]

Humans Interbred With Neanderthals – Humans today could be part Neanderthal, according to a new study that found our ancestors interbred with an extinct hominid species some millennia ago.Neanderthals walked the Earth between about 130,000 and 30,000 years ago. While they co-existed with modern humans for a while, eventually they went extinct and we didn’t. Why? ‘cos we are awesome! [livescience]

The Best Coke Robert Downey Jr. Ever Had Was With Jack Nicholson – In the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, Downey talks about everything from doing cocaine with his pops and Jack Nicholson, to his eventual downward spiral into a heroin addiction. “It was the only coke that ever tasted as good as the coke I did with my dad and Jack.” Stunning! [nydailynews]

Something About Jackie Selebi – And then also something about “MEC” and “Roadlink.” Then it’s talking about “Sisulu” and “SANDF” and there seems to be a man jailed for car sales fraud. It’s all there, along with even more riveting news and page-turning information to get you going on your Friday! Get it now on News24′s front page. Go go go! [news24]

Megan Fox Kills It In Tracky Pants – Any true legend knows that the best way to guage a woman’s hotness is when she is moping about in her tracksuit pants. Well I’m pleased to tell you Megan Fox has passed the test as we see her here, absolutely murdering it in a cap, a loose T-shirt and a kak pair of tracksuit pants. So hot! [popoholic]

It’s always a pleasure to see 2oceansvibe Weather Girls killing-it on the instanet. Take Lyndall Jarvis, for example, who joined Julz for the debut “On The Couch” episode for Car Magazine’s website.

“CARtv’s Juliet McGuire chats to her friend Lyndall Jarvis, who was voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World, about her motoring adventures, what a man’s car says about him, and much more…”

Sick.

I love the way they’re acting all professional and polite, when in actual fact these are the two biggest party animals in Cape Town. You should SEE them together when the camera’s aren’t rolling. They’re on the BAR COUNTER, not the BACKSEAT!

I’m telling you right now, they should make another show filmed on Friday nights called On The Bar Counter and they can replace those cute CARMAG waters, with CAR branded tequila bottles.

After that they can make another show called ON THE FLOOR.

I’m getting carried away.

Good job, girls!

When it comes to headlines as incredible as that, I don’t think it’s right to mess around talking about nonsense. You want me to get to the point, right?

Simply put, Sony Ericsson and 2oceansvibe have put together an EXCLUSIVE competition starting RIGHT NOW and ending on Monday, May 3 at 10h00.

Portugal vs. Brazil
25 June, 2010

The prize: One person together with partner or friend will be awarded the opportunity to attend the Portugal and Brazil game on the 25th of June in Durban. Flights, tickets, accommodation, transport and meals will be provided for.

Do you have ANY idea how massive this prize is? Did you hear those names correctly? Portugal versus Brazil… come on!

It’s no wonder the two sides featured in one of the most famous Nike ads ever. Check it out:

That’s a very cool commercial – the only problem is it doesn’t have YOU in it! I tell you – I can just feel you are going to win this competition. I mean, really – how many people are actually going to enter between now and Monday? It’s basically yours..

Follow link to find out how to do it.

Well it really is all the rage now, isn’t it? Models without Photoshop and now models without makeup. In five years from now the big brands will be bowing down again to further pressure and will be using the ugliest girls they can find. You know, to show how “real” they are.

Not that I care about any of this. I just saw the name “Louis Vuitton” and I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

Bang! Just like that!

We’ve covered the Swedish royals on the pages of 2oceansvibe before. You will recall the heartwarming story of Princess Victoria who took a shining to her fitness trainer and went on to marry him. Not exactly what King Carl and Queen Silvia had in mind, but hey, you can teach him to use a knife and fork in no time.

It was around that time that we first noticed young Madeleine, who is infinitely hotter than Victoria, and not shy to throw it around either. We wrote a story in early 2009, stating that perhaps the fitness trainer had gone for the wrong sister. After all, with Madeleine you do get the very rare “trifecta” : wealth, status and looks.

Princess Madeleine of Sweden is single

Sometime after that, Princess Madeleine became engaged to one Jonas Bergstrom. They featured in Hello Magazine together from time to time. He was lucky to have a “strom” in his surname, as Hello Magazine don’t often publish articles without a “von” or a “strom” in the surname.

“Seth Von Rotherhamstrom” would probably get me the cover..

Ok, back to Madeleine – she’s single!

Check it out – apparently he banged a student!

From Hello Magazine (naturally, darling!)

Princess Madeleine and lawyer Jonas Bergstrom have, by mutual agreement, decided to end their relationship.” With these words the Swedish Royal Palace confirmed what the press had been saying for weeks – it is all over for Queen Silvia’s younger daughter and her partner of eight years.

First signs of trouble came with the news the couple had postponed their wedding, which was expected to take place at the end of 2010.

Nevertheless, Queen Silvia silenced rumours of a relationship crisis, saying: “Princess Madeleine and Jonas Bergstrom will not marry this year, but all is well.”

The royal matriarch indicated that the cause of the postponement was the proximity of Crown Princess Victoria’s nuptials and denied that the couple were having problems.

However, this did nothing to silence rumours that Jonas had been unfaithful with a Norwegian student on a skiing trip – stories that apparently caused great discomfort to King Carl Gustaf. According to Swedish newspaper Expressen, the sovereign would have asked for a personal meeting with the 31-year-old to clarify what happened.

Another paper Aftonbladet reports that Madeleine was aware of the affair, and was worried about when it would come to light. At the 27-year-old royal’s suggestion the couple were apparently attending therapy sessions in an attempt to save their romance.

Insiders are saying that to get over the break up Madeleine will throw herself into her work for her mother’s World Childhood Foundation. She is currently in New York undertaking duties for the charity, and has prolonged her stay there until May.

Royal watchers are lamenting the end of the couple’s fairytale romance. It was love at first sight for the pair when they were introduced by mutual friends in the autumn of 2002. Jonas wasted no time inviting the blonde royal for dinner in the upmarket Ostermalm district of Stockholm. A year later they moved in together.

[more here]

Hectic.

Anyway! Here are some more pics of Madeleine:

I tell you what, If that student ever had a baby girl as a result of Jonas’s seed, he should name the daughter Madeleine.

Seriously, that would be the right and noble thing to do.

Either that, or deny it’s his child completely and flee the country before the DNA test.

YOU are beautiful. Really.

Our more trippy readers might know that the Afrika Burns festival, South Africa’s newest excuse to get totally baked in the desert, wrapped up on Tuesday after five brightly-coloured days of parallel universes, flying dragons and fire.

And lets not forget the odd bout of “let’s chain the 11 year olds to the front of Abraham Lincoln’s motorbike”. Boy, I haven’t done that in AGES.

Jackie O, to be played by Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes To Play Jackie O – The History Channel has revealed the cast for its eight-hour The Kennedys miniseries, due in 2011: Greg Kinnear will play John F. Kennedy Jr., Barry Pepper will portray Robert Kennedy, Tom Wilkinson will play Joe Kennedy Sr. and, yes, Katie Holmes will take on the role of Jackie Kennedy. In response to this news, Rachel Weisz, who will be playing the icon in the upcoming film Jackie, cackled and said, “Frankly, I’d be more threatened by Suri.” [nymag]

SA Prepares Red Carpet For Obama – The top South African World Cup organiser says his country is prepared to have United States President Barack Obama visit during the tournament. Obama met last summer at the White House with Fifa president Sepp Blatter, and South African officials have said Obama has told them he might try to attend if his schedule allows. [mail&guardian]

Mandela To Skip World Cup Ceremony – Nelson Mandela plans to skip the opening ceremony of the football World Cup finals in South Africa in June and will watch the tournament from home. Asked if the former South African president, 91, would be present as hoped for by organisers, Chief Mandla Mandela replied: “He’s said he would prefer to be at home in the rural countryside to spend time at the farm,” [timeslive]

Chavez Sends His First Tweet – Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president well known for his marathon TV addresses to the nation, has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts. After he promised to “let loose” on Tuesday night, a Spanish-language tweet duly appeared on his new chavezcandanga account 14 minutes after midnight. It was a simple message to say he was off on a working trip to Brazil. Yawn, raise your game, Hugo. [bbc]

Brazil Official Urges More Sex For Better Health – Brazil’s health minister has a remedy for the nation’s high-blood- pressure problem: More sex. Minister Jose Temporao says adults should be exercising more to help keep their blood pressure down — and he says a good cardiovascular workout includes sex!

Ice Discovered on Asteroid, Suggests Earth’s Oceans Came From Space – Water ice and organic molecules have been discovered on the surface of an asteroid for the first time. Researchers glimpsed the ice on 24 Themis, the largest member of an asteroid family located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, using the NASA Infrared Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. This frosty little rock could be the key to understanding how Earth became the blue planet. [wired]

Redstone Slams Murdoch – Sumner Redstone thinks Rupert Murdoch’s obsession with the Wall Street Journal and with newspapers in general is cockamamie and nearly suicidal. Murdoch and Redstone are as mindful of each other as they are of anybody else in their business. They perhaps understand each other better, too. This is partly generational: They are the two octogenarian media conglomerate owners. Get a room, guys. [vanityfair]

Gordon Brown Caught Off-Camera Calling A Voter “Bigoted” – Just one day before the final televised prime minister debate, and while stumping for his campaign, Brown was caught calling a voter “bigoted.” Cabinet members fear that the prime minister’s off-camera comment about voter Gillian Duffy may cost the Labour Party big time. Brown hadn’t realized his microphone was still on upon entering his car, and called her “a bigoted woman.” [telegraph]

Alexander McQueen Autopsy Reveals Cocaine, Sleeping Pills & Tranquilizers – Yesterday, a London coroner released the results of Alexander McQueen’s autopsy. It was concluded that the designer had ingested “’a significant level of cocaine,’ sleeping pills, and tranquilizers.” McQueen had “‘killed himself while the balance of his mind was disturbed,’ and stressed that the designer ‘had a history of depression and anxiety, and was grieving for his mother.’” [vanityfair]

Palm had closed trading Wednesday at $4.63 but traded as high as $18.09 in the past 52 weeks. [msnbc]

Sandra Bullock dopts Child And Files For Divorce – Sandra Bullock has filed for divorce from her husband, Jesse James, and is adopting a baby boy as a single parent. Bullock and James, 41, began the adoption process four years ago, the report said, and brought 3 1/2-month-old Louis Bardo Bullock home in January but decided to keep the news to themselves until after the Oscars. The rest is sordid Hollywood history. [hamptonroads]

2oceansvibe Character, Six Figures, sent in this beautiful vibe:

Seth,

See attached, a small Indian guy in Singapore has the cure for every disease in the world.

You’d have to think that if you got that close then you would probably hold out the formal announcement of your discovery until you tick off “death” as well, such a pity to have to highlight your key product failure in your primary marketing message.

Once he gets death too then he really has got something to talk about. Although it appears his research is sponsored by Pfizer I think big-medicine might be happy to keep this one under wraps a little longer…

Quality.

Iron Man 2 opens this Friday with sneak previews tomorrow night and you’ve got no idea what to expect. Well, for starters – Iron Man’s in it. The title may have given it away, but you’ll be happy to know he’s back with “the man” (aka Robert Downey Jr.) in fighting form as the Tony Stark/Iron Man alter-ego tag team. Now there have been one or two casting changes… but nothing as ludicrous as Katie Holmes tapping Maggie “The Weakest Link” Gyllenhaal in for The Dark Knight.

Emily Blunt’s scheduling conflicts allowed second choice, Scarlett Johansson to be recast as Natasha Romanoff and they made another sideways transfer as Terrence Howard was replaced by Don Cheadle as James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes due to a fall out between Howard and Marvel Studios. The movie reviews are slowly rolling in… and so far the consensus is that this sequel boasts the same strengths that made the first Iron Man so entertaining with Robert Downey Jr. stealing the show… yet again!

Catch the rest of the preview and the trailer after the jump…

On Tuesday, while millions of South Africans were celebrating Freedom Day, Ukrainian parliamentarians were expressing patriotism for their country by throwing eggs at the speaker of parliament, detonating smoke bombs in the upper chamber, and generally engaging in fisticuffs.

As you’ll see in this video, the jolly lawmakers are engaged in the ancient Ukrainian tradition of pelting the speaker of parliament with eggs as he ratifies Russia’s lease of a Ukrainian port.

This is the file you will wish you downloaded in a month’s time. And you know what, I’m not helping you when that day comes. Download this file and keep it happy – there is ABSOLUTELY no harm in doing so. In fact, it reminds me of a saying I made up a few years back. It goes, “Rather be safe, than sorry.”
