Do you remember the infamous now ex-Zimbabwean Finance Minister Christopher Kuruneri and his clever property purchases in Llandudno a while back? Well, now in a twist of fate, and getting out of jail free once, Kuruneri will finally make his next move on Thursday after Robert Mugabe played him into a cul-de-sac, and a submissive play in 2007.
It’s always great when your buddies are out there doing it in a big way, and I’m sure local creatives would also be interested to know that my buddy Colin Jeffery (The Advertising Guy – ex King James) is Creative Director at David&Goliath in LA, who shot the highly acclaimed “One Epic Ride” SuperBowl commercial […]
Local Cape Town band, I Scream And The Chocolate Stix are putting out what looks to be a fairly interestingly-shot reality TV show, with the working title, Making It. So says the YouTube description:
Jim W. Hawkins is just one of those guys who is either an eccentric with a love for school-girl cheerleading or a paedophile or a bit of both. But let’s give Jim the benefit of the doubt and say his is just one in a vast sea of crappy public-access TV shows.
A Gay awards show in the US has apparently not nominated certain TV shows for any prizes because said shows depict gay characters doing gay things. Such as being bitchy to each other, wearing make-up, talking about their sex lives, and being incredibly narcissistic.
Yes, you read that correctly. The founder of Facebook’s founder is letting everyone who’ll listen know that he is Mark Zuckerberg’s dad. I didn’t believe it at first either, as I’m sure money or status isn’t a big issue in the Zuckerberg household. Anyway, it’s more the manner in which the claiming happened that is important here guys. This is rather awesome.
Not that we mind topless shots of women here at 2oceansvibe – we give one every week in our tasteful Tuesday Tabs feature. It is appealing features like this which contributes to 2oceansvibe being referred to as ‘cool’ and an ‘alternative’ news source. It is interesting to note that our ‘traditional’ press seems to be going […]
After 21 seasons of the Hugh Hefner of reality shows, Survivor, a contestant is now being sued for allegedly leaking advance information about the show before its air date. If you are currently watching Survivor Gabon on our national broadcaster, then wait until 2016 before reading further.
Speak2Tweet was launched over the weekend, a joint venture by Twitter and Google that allows anybody to post to Twitter using just a phone connection, in the hopes of getting more word out about the situation in Egypt as it unfolds. Google bought the company that engineered the technology last week because hey, it’s Google.
Another season of Survivor South Africa is on its way – this time set in the Maldives. We bring you as much pre-release information that Mnet is willing to release, and a hunch that this coming season was so bitterly fought that at least one contestant quit production. Click through for more.
Alright, yes, I know, I’m the liberal media and I’m just getting all uppity at Fox over it’s insane coverage of this silly little ‘Egypt’ thing. But you will understand if I get a little worried when Egypt’s biggest ally’s most popular news source literally fails to find Egypt on the map. Follow the link and check this out..
Ja, so basically I surprised even the great Silwood Cooking school, with my orgasmic roast summer vegetable dish. But I can’t take all the credit for it – as it was sent through from France, by Mother Dearest. Click link for the video (and recipe), in case you missed it. Fans of Idols’ Adeline will be quite pleased with this too..
I’m a huge fan of The Office, both Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant’s original and the American rendition. Steve Carell’s recent announcement that he will no longer resume his role as Michael Scott genuinely forced moisture from my face. I was immediately cheered up by an awe-inspiring clip: a meeting between Michael and David Brent.
A supermarket in Arkansas has caused a stir by placing a ‘family shield’ in front of the US Weekly cover which features Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, cradling their adopted baby boy. NSFW if your screen is within the vicinity of small homophobic children.
The producers of Idols South Africa have let Mara Louw go after three seasons of racist slur, violent outbursts, faux couture and drunken shenanigans. Boy, that was fun. She was the single judge who could always be counted on to do something unscripted and rash at around the 40 minute mark of every episode. What do we do now?
A woman in Argentina flung herself off the top of a 23-story hotel, but her suicide attempt was unluckily thwarted when she landed on a taxi cab, thereby prolonging her life. The lesson being, if you ever find yourself plummeting towards the earth, try locate an empty taxi and get into the ‘bum-first’ position, unless you actually want to commit suicide.
LA Noire is Grand Theft Auto in 1940s Los Angeles. Awesome. Well, Rockstar have announced a release date for my fellow nerds and I and provided a new trailer to accompany it. The countdown to the latest sandboxing, abuse-hurling, road-raging and gun-slinging title is on and we have the trailer for you right after the jump. On dad.
This short time lapse film of Cape Town was put together by Silver Bullet productions, and it is pretty stunning. Everyone knows that Cape Town is aesthetically beautiful, and when it comes to its treatment on film, this beauty can be to its detriment. This film shows Cape Town through a darker, gorgeous lens.
Over the last few days many a report has been circulating claiming that the great proponent of Zimbabwean democracy and all round nice guy Robert Mugabe may be on the dying-side of things. Mugabe’s illness was reported by Britain’s Daily Telegraph; apparently he is in Malaysia, recovering from having the old prostate removed.
Our very own version of Playboy is hunting for its first playmate. If you didn’t catch the interview with the local editor, Peter Piegl, on 2oceansvibe Radio at the end of last year, Playboy South Africa is launching in April. So laydezz do the right thing and send in your photo, it’s the patriotic thing to do. Details after the jump.
Hang on a tick. I thought that calling anybody a loser was the prerogative of the person doing the loser calling. Not so, according to Mr C. Ngcukana, viewer of e.tv’s Justice Factor.
By now you would have noticed, looking at the magazine covers to the left of the page, that the February issue of GQ (UK Edition), features none other than the Victoria’s Secret supermodels. More to the point, it includes our very own Candice Swanepoel! We did the right thing and got you the pics from […]
Man about town and real man’s man, Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi is in trouble again. But luckily this time it’s only because he (allegedly) slept with a 17-year-old.
Alright, so that title may be pushing it, especially considering that the world #2 hasn’t claimed his first ASP World Tour title yet (clue: he will, this year), but with pro surf photographer Ant Fox, Seth and Bruce Good in attendance, it was a pretty darn fine interview.
Follow the link to get the full interview.
Alright so we’ve got our hands on a preview for the Fight Club Musical. You know they’re making a Fight Club musical, right? Jared Leto’s comment on the whole affair is, “It smells like disaster, but it could be genius.” We’re undecided at this point.
Did you manage to catch this month’s House & Leisure magazine? It’s their 200th issue and I must say, it’s an absolute cracker! Were you aware that they were voted the best home and decor mag in South Africa? True story.
Speaking of stories, check out the one circled on the cover – follow link to enlarge.

Google’s logo mutations are mostly spot on. For Easter they gooi some bunnies. When there’s pumpkins and draculas you know it’s Halloween. Bobsleds, Winter Olympics. It’s not always pretty but most times it makes sense so what in the name of everything holy, clear and sacred do our friends over at Google mean by this one?
If someone had told you that the creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, and late night talk show king, David Letterman had parodied ANCYL[biters] president, Julius Malema, you would not have believed them.
Independent Newspapers has been providing us with little gems of unintentional wordplay for years now. And when they’re not reporting that X politician has been fingered by Y investigative body (how many times could you withstand that kind of interrogation before you cracked?), they’re making pictorial gaffs. Please enjoy this little piece of joy.
Unicycling has arguably been around since there have been wheels and chairs. That’s just science. Charity has been around for a pretty long time too. So it’s fitting that these two ancient disciplines would come together in the Counter Balance ‘Freedom Revolution Tour,’ which is raising funds to provide disadvantaged school kids with shoes.
