DAKOTA FANNING IS APPARENTLY NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANY MORE
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 […]
PART 4 – MEL GIBSON THREATENS TO “BURN THE HOUSE DOWN” BUT DEMANDS ORAL SEX BEFOREHAND
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 […]

AL PACINO DOES HIS FIRST TV ENDORSEMENT EVER
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 […]

VIDEO OF MAN STEALING WORLD CUP
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] […]

This is turning into a bit of a series, as the second audio tape has now been released by Radar Online. If you missed the first one, where Mel Gibson calls the mother of his child a “whore” and says she looks like a “bitch on heat” and says that she will get “raped by […]
ASS PRODUCTS – IT’S BEEN A WHILE
Just because I haven’t mentioned them for a while doesn’t mean that the “ass flavoured foods” rage hasn’t been growing. Those of you unfamiliar with the flavour du jour which has swept the country may well want to start here to get a grip of what is actually going on. It is interesting to note […]

BRENDAN SEERY’S COLUMN IN THE WEEKEND ARGUS
Deep-fried food fanatic and part-time Saint Bernard impersonator, Brendan Seery, took to his arse-end-of-the-Weekend-Argus column with a blunt knife this weekend. I had never heard of, nor read this fellow before and I must say, I’ve got nothing but love for him. How lucky we are to have a traditional media columnist, (who, according to […]
BRAAI 4 HERITAGE ON SEPTEMBER 24

THE MEL GIBSON TAPES
By now you should be aware that Oscar-winning actor, Mel Gibson is alleged to have been recorded on the phone talking to his ex-bird and mother of one of his eight children, Oksana Grigorieva.

“TWILIGHT” FOR GUYS
The Muse is threatening a viewing of the new Twilight at some stage this weekend – possibly even as soon as Friday night. With weed levels at an all-time low, I’m not really sure how this is all going to pan out. Let alone whether or not I will make it to the other side. […]
ONLY NINJAS CAN CALL EACH OTHER NINJA
One of the neverending social debates have to do with the word “nigger.” The classic argument (predominantly in the US) has to do with black guys calling each other nigger (eg. in movies they often say “nigger, please!”) – which is apparently fine (personally, I would prefer it not to be used at all, to […]

“CAPE TOWN IS THE FUTURE” – ACCORDING TO AN AUSSIE JOURNO
My dad sent me this article from the Australian online publication, Crikey. Quite an interesting take and a must read for all! Personally I was taken by the quote, “Cape Town Is the Future.” It took me back to a few years ago when I attended the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. The crowd in […]
WIMPY LAUNCH HILARIOUS ONLINE GAME AND COMPETITION
If there ever was a brand that has always been around the block, it’s Wimpy. Waves of nostalgia and memories of road-trips to Plett enter my mind, with me servicing my dad a fresh cold beer every couple of hours and a glass (real glass – plastic gives her Ladyship moth ulcers) of wine (with […]
