Poor Madonna. In her ever increasing bid to stay relevant, she seems to be trying every possible trick in the book to shock and keep people talking. From pointing guns at herself on stage, thinly-disguised drug references and costumes that should really not be worn by a 53-year old, she’s now angered the Russians.
This must be any photographer’s dream – Usain Bolt, the undisputed fastest man alive, grabbed an Olympic photographer’s camera and started snapping pics straight from the track.
“This guy’s trippin! Hurry up, go to the back, and get me some fried chicken!” These guys seriously know how to order fast food – in particular fried chicken. You can literally see the poor cashier standing there, thinking: “Uhm, what should I put into the computer!?” But he need not feel bad. I don’t think any of us would have been able to keep up either. And that is why we’ve inducted both these hungry patrons into the prestigious 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame.
I’ve chatted to you before about this film. It’s a documentary made in South Africa and I personally believe it could win an Oscar. It went mental at Sundance and tells the tale of Roriguez, the American singer who was bigger than Elvis in SA, but didn’t shift more than a handful of albums in the States. Watch this trailer.
A Million Colours is based on the true story of two best friends, who fought the system that tried to separate them, after they shot to fame in 1975 with the release of the South African film e’Lollipop. Muntu Ndebele and Norman Knox didn’t see life in black or white, at a time when the […]
The Lollapalooza music festival took place in Chicago over the weekend. And like pretty much every other major music festival around the globe recently, Die Antwoord played there. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly they explained why they don’t prefer to do gigs in South Africa. As it turns out, Ninja & Yolandi does not seem to care much for South Africans in general. According to the notorious two, South Africa is “pretty fucking retarded” and the majority of its citizens are “insecure”. Also, performing to South Africans is “like doing magic tricks for retarded children.”
Finally, Google have stepped it up and delivered the kind of awesomeness we’ve come to expect from them! Their initial Olympic doodle was a bit of let down, offering no real interaction or fun Easter Eggs, today’s however is right up there with the best of them.
When receiving a parking fine, it is normal to wish ill on the traffic cop behind that pink ticket. But it takes a lot of stupidity to actually assault one in person. Julien Chabbott is the boyfriend of MTV’s The Hills’ star, Stephanie Pratt. After parking his Ferrari 458 Spider illegally over the weekend (the […]
Incredible footage has surfaced from the 1936 Olympic Games, which shows black American Jesse Owens defeating the odds against, quite literally, Adolf Hitler. Some peopple have even argued that this feat puts him ahead of Michael Phelps, in terms of being the ‘greatest Olympian’ who ever lived. It is interesting to note that this weekend in London sees […]
Sometimes we are asked to do things in life that might not be particularly exciting, nor very important in the greater scheme of things. But a true champion will always find a way of performing mundane and / or every day tasks in a spectacular fashion. And that is the kind of person we celebrate here at 2oceansVibe. Today we salute this guy: candy floss for crying out loud! Yet, he still does so…like a BOSS!
Mining billionaire Clive Palmer may be on his way to ignoring the single most important movie lesson ever taught – don’t clone extinct animals. Sources close to the man have allegedly claimed that he is in deep talks with the people who cloned Dolly the sheep to bring a dinosaur back into existence.
Life is not fair, we know this, but sometimes it’s just plain wrong. Take for example the Olympians featured in this post, not only were they granted with the genetic ability to advance to the highest level in their respective disciplines, but they’re also ridiculously good looking! But I digress, without further ado, enjoy this gallery of 30 of the hottest female Olympians attending the games this year.
Whatever Dreamworks can do, Pixar can do better. It’s been a game of ping-pong for these major animation studios, who seem to be constantly trying to out-animate each other. In their latest battle, Brave vs. How to Train Your Dragon, it seems that Dreamworks may have just clinched it from Pixar, whose work has been slightly less than perfect of late.
Paul McCartney, one of the last remaining Beatles, is pretty much as big as it gets when it comes to famous musicians. And accordingly, he can demand pretty much whatever he wants for stadium gigs. Surprising then, that he only earned a single pound for his stellar performance at the extravagant Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Well this weekend was clearly happening at Tiger Tiger nightclub in Claremont, as a turf war of sorts erupted between two local Playboy playmates, Yolandi Malherbe (left) and Jade Fairbrother (right). We welcome any insight as to what exactly happened, but for now I think the insults hurled back and forth should be enjoyed by […]
Last week we reported that the winner of MasterChef SA, Deena Naidoo, was upset with M-Net for apparently lying about his prizes. He claimed that while it was promoted that the eventual winner would win a restaurant, it turned out that he only gets to “manage” the place. In a press release received by 2oceansVibe from M-Net late on Friday afternoon, the broadcaster has responded to these allegations.
Throughout the entire series of Masterchef SA it was promoted that the eventual winner would walk away with prizes “worth R8 million, including their very own restaurant”. However, according to winner Deena Naidoo, the value of all his prizes only totals about R1 million. Plus, the whole “your very own restaurant” part also turned out not to be the case.
In an incredible display of boss athleticism, a US guy recently caught a foul baseball flying into the stands during a game. He did this like a pro by jumping high and catching it with one hand. The other hand, as you’ll see, was being occupied by his baby! So impressive was his skill that the entire crowd, including his wife, had to tip their hats to him. And so do we.
He may not be competing in the Olympics, but based in London, you can be damn sure that street-artist Banksy will have something to say about the Games. His two latest stencils, “Hackney Welcomes the Olympics” and “Going For Mould” are unfortunately struggling to win favour with British authorities, who have not taken his artwork lightly.
Christopher Nolan is a perfectionist, a conductor who insists that every instrument at his disposal is finely calibrated and double-checked. This means his films are always beautiful and reinforced by strong writing, powerful music and breathtaking visuals. His clinical precision could be accused of siphoning the warmth, imperfection and joy out of film, but he does tend […]
John John Florence is one of the most exciting surfers to emerge on the professional surfing scene in recent years. Kai Linder got the young Hawaiian into the 2oceansVibe Radio studio in Cape Town to find out what he’s been up while he’s been in South Africa.
Sony hasn’t had the best of times over the last year. The company has been plagued by hacking and monetary woes that ran into the billions. So, it’s hardly surprising the marketing budget has been small for the new Walkman, which is an iPod, dressed like a futuristic hipster.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen any mention of this on social networks over the past 24 hours, but guess what: Linkin Park is coming to South Africa! Computicket has released details and rules on how to book tickets for the band’s performances in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
It’s finally here folks, the first look at the much anticipated Superman reboot, Man Of Steel.
What do you get when you combine motion capture, Microsoft Kinect cameras, a choreographed performance and Ableton Live? A pretty unique music experience, where the music is created by the actual movement of the performer on stage.
There is a new movie coming out, courtesy of Warner Bros, called Gangster Squad. The trailers are about to start showing in cinemas across the US. But those trailers have been pulled because Warner Bros (who made the Batman movie) are worried about a scene where a bunch of gangsters shoot up a cinema. Check out the trailer..
You remember that painting, don’t you? Well, Brett Murray’s Hail to the Thief exhibition remained up, right up until last month. When he moved out, it was naturally time for a new artist. This time around, Kendell Geers has moved in, with a tribute to the controversial penis painting.
Hot off the press from Sky News. Multiple agencies report 12 people have died, despite a few conflicting reports that 14 people were killed. Click headline for full story (so far)..
Late last month, a group of musicians stood accused of stealing a MacBook Pro in the Cape Town vicinity. We decided to get them into the 2oceansVibe Radio studio in Cape Town, and on air, to give their side of the story.
Just in case you thought that two weekends with identical lineups wasn’t enough for the avid music fan, Coachella has something else up their sleeve. Get ready to set sail on the SS Coachella, heading into the Caribbean twice this December.
