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 […]

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 […]
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” […]
Morning, kids. Are you ready for some delightfully cheery death chat? The “what happens to my online presence when I die” question has been haunting our minds in recent months, ever since the story broke about Facebook suggesting people “reconnect” or “share the latest news” with a deceased friend. Epic failure. Think about it. Twitter, […]
Italian Mafia Boss And 300 Others Arrested – The wiretap evidence included scenes straight out of The Godfather. After months of clandestine recording, Italian police launched a predawn raid Tuesday, July 13, snatching up more than 300 alleged members of the powerful ‘Ndrangheta criminal organization, including top bosses, businessmen and corrupt civil servants. Hmm, I […]
The Hef “Hugh” Hefner, as we like to call him, has lured an equity company to bed, and together they plan on buying out all of Playboy Enterprises remaining company shares in a bid to make things a little more private. Apparently he’s not interested in selling his shares, or merging with other shareholders. But […]
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 […]
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 […]
Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
I put up a braai article the other day (The New Concise SA Braai Rules) which was very well received. So much so that I was contacted by the guys behind “National Braai Day ” which is a brilliant initiative aimed at establishing an annual day of celebration in South Africa – with South Africans […]
Here’s George Clooney’s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, spotted on a boat somewhere awesome. She is what we in the industry refer to as “NPR” – which means No Photoshop Required. Fine..

The winter is getting pretty chilly, I’m not gonna lie. But when Christina’s presenting the weather on SABC3, I get two minutes of summer. Hi there, Christina…
Unbelievable scenes this morning at vida e on Kloof Street, as this photo of the great man was tweeted by “king_si” and forwarded to the 2oceansvibe Twitter account. It’s been a while since The TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) has been spotted around town. No doubt he has been overseas somewhere, curing the sick and mending […]
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 […]
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 […]
There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen. For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom. And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet. Imagine a […]
I was browsing the overseas newspapers on my iPad and spotted something on the front page of yesterday’s Daily Telegraph in the UK. Check it out – bottom right: With the launch of 2oceansvibe Radio, I am naturally drawn to articles like this – especially when they’re on the front page. Really interesting stuff here […]

No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]
I’ll give these Nando’s characters one thing, they move pretty darn swiftly! Behold the latest viral ad to get cooked on their flame-frilled ovens. This time it’s targeted at Paris Hilton, following the marijuana skandaal in Pretoria last Friday. If you can’t read the small print, it goes like this, “Whether it’s for lunch, supper […]
The smaller half of Die Antwoord’s vocal duo, Yolandi Vi$$er, has just klapped Hollywood in the hol, ek se. She was approached by some corporate naaiers who tjooned her to play the main betty in a movie-film version of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Moreover, my pedigree chums, the film is to […]
