Almost exactly a month ago Modern Warfare 3 hit the shelves and gamers around the world lost their minds in anticipation of losing weeks of their lives to the latest edition of the highly-acclaimed shooter. Just before the launch, game-developer Activision released a comedic trailer featuring Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jonah Hill (Superbad), and this is its equally epic follow-up.
A few months ago Apple announced their plans for their new headquarters in the Silicon Valley, and submitted plans to the Cupertino City Council. The late Steve Jobs claimed the spaceship-like structure would be “the best office building in the world”, and judging by these recently released documents, he wasn’t kidding.
The crew of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters blasted a house in Dublin, California with a cannonball yesterday. I mean, not on purpose; they were trying to fire a homemade cannon at huge containers of water, because a canon’s ability to bust huge containers of water is a myth that needs busting, but they missed.
Somewhat controversial, is old Jack Parow’s latest single entitled ‘Eksie Ou’ off his new album. It seems our boy is at it again, having a go at a number Cape Town institutions and people. From gym bunnies and hipsters to Kauai and Ice Models, nobody is safe from the sharp tongue of Parow’s favourite son. […]
The world waits in mock-anticipation for the Playboy to end all Playboys. I’m talking about the US edition of Playboy which is set to publish a nude shoot of troubled actress Lindsay Lohan. And apparently she is not doing just the top-half, like the local SA version of the title. No Sir – she is […]
So Jack Parow appeared out of nowhere at the 2oceansvibe Media compound last week, sporting a new afro. I can’t be absolutely certain, but I have a feeling his new look could be defined as “zef.” We flew radio control helicopters around The Compound for a while, during which time he explained to me that […]
Jeremy Clarkson appeared earlier this week on the BBC’s “The One Show”. During his interview he said that public servants who are taking part in a strike “ought to be executed in front of their families”. But Clarkson says it was only a joke and that producers of the show were warned in advance and approved of the comments.
Julian Assange, our go-to-source for feeling concerned about privacy, was at a panel with the Bureau of Investigative Journalism yesterday. He informed the audience that iPhone, Blackberry and Gmail users are all “screwed” – that “the reality is that intelligence operations are selling right now mass surveillance systems for all those products.”
Yesterday DJ Fresh tweeted the following regarding a family member: “Attention seeking person i know says ‘i just tried to kill myself’… would it be ‘wrong’ to send them 5 ways that WILL work? #SOselfish [sic]”. He also called his cousin “a suicidal brat”. This has upset a lot of people, including the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), yet Fresh remains defiant on the matter.
Lady Gaga graces the cover of the January 2012 issue of Vanity Fair. Yes, I know, it’s quite amazing that we’re yet to get into December and they’ve made a magazine for 2012 already. But look, that’s clearly just how they roll. And anyway, Vanity Fair can do what they want. You can read the […]
It’s taken Hilts quite a while to get a Ferrari – having been hellbent on Bentley for a number of years. See what I did there? With the word “hellBENT.” Get it? Anyway, the blonde sex-tape machine went for the Ferrari California and hit the road on Friday last week. Follow link to see the […]
Facebook, the social network we all love to hate. Already in its seventh year of existence, the online community has managed to connect everyone with everyone, even if they barely know one-another. For exactly that reason, many people have gone about culling off some of these Facebook “friends”, and while it freed up their newsfeed, it left others scorned.
Oh yes! We are loving the new Goldfish music video for their hit ‘Crunchy Joe’ featuring behind-the-scenes footage from Ibiza, Brazil and South Africa! Groupies a plenty and jam packed with partying, jets, cocktails and beaches. Needless to say, we like! Check it out:
This shouldn’t be surprising to anybody, but it’s probably good to be reminded. A study by USC’s Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism that surveyed the top 100-grossing movies of 2009, and found that only 32,8% of the 4 342 speaking characters were female. Let us remember that 2009 was the year that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen came out.
Saturday Night Live fox and Bridesmaids star, Kristen Wiig has taken the honour of “Bro of the Year” in the Stateside Men of the Year edition of GQ. Being GQ, they were unable to give her the award without getting a glossy snap of Kristen in her undies, which she dutifully provided.
Sylvester Stallone is teaming up with Ukranian heavyweight boxers, Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, to produce a stage musical based on Rocky. Is it worth making a joke about this? I mean my feeling is that the ridiculousness of the situation sort of speaks for itself, but let me know if you need more.
Earlier this year, Liam Gallagher sued his brother, Noel after he (Noel) stated in a press conference that Liam pulled out of a headline show at the V festival in England due to a hangover. He later dropped the suit, but he now appears to have sobered up and the two are back at it again.
Other than his recent scandal, and subsequent divorce, and a brief cameo in The Expendables, it’s been a while since former governor and once-upon-a-time Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has made headlines. That’s all about to change, and he probably doesn’t even know about it.
I don’t know that there are such things as iconic photographs anymore, what with the proliferation of media and all, but if there are, this is one – of Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacting to being hit with pepper spray by cops during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, November 15, 2011.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association have announced that they have invited controversial UK comedian, Ricky Gervais, back to host the upcoming 69th Annual Golden Globes ceremony for a third successive time, and he has accepted.
With the 2012 US Presidential Elections just under a year away, potential candidates are pushing hard to garner support in the hope of securing votes. None more so than Herman Cain, who shows in this video exactly how unprepared he is for the role.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said yesterday that racial insults on the soccer field are nothing more than “on-field provocation”. He also suggested that players should accept this as part of the game and simply shake hands at the end of the match. I was actually trying to think of something sarcastic to insert here, but I’m too busy weeping for humanity at the moment.
Has it really been over two decades since Brad Pitt and his pubic hair blasted to global superstardom in ladies-on-the-lam flick, Thelma and Louise? Indeed it has – and it’s all coming to an end soon, says Mr. Angelina Jolie, who intends to quit acting and move behind the camera in three years when he turns fifty.
On Saturday night, someone held up a picture of Kurt Cobain at a Courtney Love concert. She saw it and went into a tirade about having to live with both Kurt’s ghost and his kid every day of her life. She then zapped the audience and left the stage – only returning after the crowd chanted: “The Foo Fighters are gay!” Video after the jump.
Up until now, motives for Peter Roebuck’s apparent suicide have remained a mystery. Apart from his journalism career, Roebuck was also involved with the cricket coaching of teenage boys. The incident happened immediately after two policemen came see him about a case of sexual assault.
I think it’s safe to say that hatin’ on Julius has now officially saved more conversations than the weather. Having said that, after a good rant most of us move on. Most of us. One Eastern Cape man, however, decided to put on a cape, jump on some cars and claim that he is a superman from the clouds, sent to kill Malema.
Yesterday the Cape Times reported that the New Seven Wonders of Nature campaign’s organisers stood to make millions of dollars from the global voting. But Heart 104.9fm’s Phat Joe felt that the story was too negative, phoned the journalist who wrote it live on-air, and called her “a cockroach that needs to be sprayed with Doom.”
The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has ruled that a new ad for perfume, created by designer Marc Jacobs, sexualizes children. The campaign features teenage actress Dakota Fanning posing with an oversized bottle of perfume between her legs. The fragrance is called “Oh, Lola!” and the name is a reference to the famous literary character Lolita. You know, the 12 year-old who had sex with a man four times her age.
Mayor of Denver, Michael Hancock, has been pressuring members of the Occupy Denver movement to pick a leader, “to deal with City and State officials.” So the protesters, in the most benign shove-it gesture imaginable, elected a three-and-a-half-year-old border collie. Named Shelby.
Afrikaans zef rap sensation, Die Antwoord, have released a statement on their website indicating that they have parted ways with their record company, Interscope – and that’s putting it diplomatically.
