It’s interesting to note that this whole debacle with Idols began when 2oceansvibe suggested that Dave Thompson experienced a Freudian slip when he told a contestant that there might be no a show next year. We even gave reasons for the slip, including the possibility that the show might be going on, but perhaps Dave […]
There is a new Idols show on everyone’s lips, and it’s not on TV. It’s right here on the global intergalactic web! In an unprecedented move, MNET’s IDOLS website have published an article on the official Idols webpage. CLICK HERE for that. In response to Seth Rotherham’s video acceptance of Idols judge Randall […]
Mainstream media have picked up on things, as Number 1 Cape Town radio station, 94.5KFM voice their opinion regarding the email challenge laid down by Idols judge, Randall Abrahams; following Seth Rotherham of 2oceansvibe’s charity acceptance via video this morning. If you’ve missed all the action up to now, read this to get the full […]
You should be pretty up to date now on where we are. If you’re not, I would advise following these links as I give them to you. I was flipping through my satellite TV a few days back and caught 5 minutes of the Idols highlights channel, testing to see if such a short spurt […]
I posted an article a couple days ago about Idols and, in particular, Dave Thompson suggesting the show might not go on. I also expressed dismay at Randall Abrahams playing the nasty character but ballsing up his sayings/phrases when he does so. All of this came after spending 5 minutes on the Idols highlights channel […]
I was watching the Durban auditions of Idols last night on channel 198 and the farce seems to be going ahead for this, the fifth (God help us all) season. And whilst you might not remember who won last year’s competition, you needn’t worry as it looks like they’re finally closing up shop. Dave Thompson […]
I’ve mentioned Louis Theroux to you before. Do you remember? Probably not. I mentioned that his documentary series was available at DVD Nouveau . I also told you about the white supremacist racists that he spent some time with. This included living with the gorgeous blonde monsters, Lynx and Lamb. For those of you aware […]
If you missed the first season then you’ve made a fundamental mistake. It’s available at DVD Nouveau (they are Cape Town’s best DVD rental store and have virtually every series. Ever. In the World), so you can sort that out quick quick. So Season 2 of Californication has started on MNET. It’s on Tuesdays at […]
I told you yesterday about the identity of “The Stig” on Top Gear (turns out there was more than one Stig, btw) and at the end of the article I said the following: It reminds me of a few years back when I finally let the cat out of the bag that I was “Woofles†[…]
Top Gear fans out there will be excited about this, and a bit sad, I suppose. Much like the neighbour in the Tim Allen “vehicle,” Home Improvement, the test driver featured on the hit TV show, Top Gear, has managed to keep his identity secret. Until now.. The Stig This, from Daily Mail: […]
You know the SABC? That’s right, The South African Broadcasting Corporation. Ja, so anyway, they’ve gone and ballsed it up again. Do enjoy this stunning screen shot from a live TV news bulletin, showing a chalk board in the background that should read “Back To School.” The whole of the SABC should consider it […]
I was watching the Louis Theroux interview series on DVD earlier this week. You remember I mentioned DVD Nouveau the other day, right? Ja, so the Louis Theroux series comes highly recommended. By me. That’s right. El stampo of approvio. So anyway, in the one episode, Louis goes to white racist America and spends time […]
It’s not often the energies of the universe pull together to give us things like this. Scott Macintrye is a contestant on the latest American Idol which is on at the moment. Scott Macintrye is blind. Ryan Seacrest is the host of American Idol and is therefore fully aware that Scott is blind. That’s why […]
Whilst Matthew Pearce and Kobus Wiese (with his incredibly strained voice and abysmal English) have succeeded in sidelining Hugh Bladen and have taken South African commentating to another level altogether. Exactly what level that is, is a discussion for another day. But, nonetheless, the subject of sports commentary is fresh in the air. There is […]
I received a call from Dave after the Springboks drilled England 6-42 on Saturday (congas to Barndog and the boys). He mentioned something about the post match interview with and something about a vindictive little journalist. I searched for it on the “internet” but it was too soon after the event to find anything. Naturally […]
It’s been two weeks in a row now that the Luv Sport Spicy Dancing Guy has appeared at the end of the show. He comes out of the studio audience, as if by magic, and proceeds to gyrate in front of the live band, whilst the rest of the studio audience get autographs from the […]

It had to happen. It’s just too much for the freaks’ brains out there. You know, actually auditioning on live TV, and in direct contact with “superstars” like Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell and Randy “Swazi” Jackson. Now look what you’ve done – this, from the New York Post: An “American Idol” reject who was […]
Jeremy Clarkson is in the dwang, as Labour MP, Chris Mole has called for the BBC to sack the popular Top Gear presenter, following some remarks he made on his show. Jezza Clarkson – generally doesn’t care a toss And wait till you find out what he said.. This, from wheels24: BBC asked […]

It’s extreme from the North Pole to the fields and streets of South Africa this week on Luv Sport, SA’s number 1 multi-sport magazine show, Friday night, 21h10 on Supersport 1 (channel 201).

Previous articles about the Luv Sport “Green Room” with the likes of Mark Fish, were decidedly diluted. But this week there is no mistaking the chaos as we spy this pic taken on Friday nights showing a gaggle of models indulging in some KFC, Jack Black beer and hamburgers. Naughty. Very naughty. Luv Sport’s […]

Everyone is sending this in so I better put it up before my inbox becomes heavier. I can hardly lift my laptop. You do know your laptop gains 0.0271 grams for every Meg in your inbox, don’t you? I didn’t put it on MyTube, because the bored ones at SABC would get my account shut […]
I’ve had numerous requests to get hold of the this clip from Friday night’s edition of Luv Sport on Supersport 1 at 21h00. The show’s host, Bob Skinstad (The Character Formerly Known As The Loose Forward) gave a big national TV birthday wish to ex-team mate and fellow 2oceansvibe character, Pieter Dixon (The Hooker). Stunning! […]

Fridays are all about Luv Sport and, given the theme of our show, one should expect sports of all shapes and sizes to be discussed and researched at all times. That doesn’t mean that you can turn a blind eye to scenes like these. Luv Sport producer, Mike M – oblivious Clearly some boundaries […]
I am very pleased to announce that there is a new name for the 2010 mascot – the Liger with the dread locks. His name WAS Zakumi. But FROM NOW ON the 2010 mascot will be referred to as, “AmaScot Scot .” AmaScot Scot The genius and necessity of this change is two-fold. You […]
