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.
Laughter is the best medicine, but cancer and comedy don’t mix – unless your name’s Mike Birbiglia or you’re watching 50/50. Disambiguation: we’re reviewing 50/50, the comedy-drama about a 27-year-old guy struggling to beat the odds after being diagnosed with cancer and not 50|50, the hard-hitting 27-year-old nature conservation show. There is a difference.
Some organisation by the name of “The Central Drug Authority”, is here to tell you how bad you are. Or, in the words of the authority’s acting chairman, Dr Ray Eberlein, “If we had a boozing world cup, South Africa wouldn’t even have to practise.” Duh, Dr Ray, we already had one. And I’m still hanging from it.
You probably remember watching Absolutely Fabulous – the show about two drunk, over the top, excessively crazy bitches. It may be the very place Amy Winehouse got the inspiration for the beehive, and possibly her bad behaviour as well. BBC Films has now jumped on board, and a film is on the way.
We all love egg-fried rice, but it is an incredibly tedious job for those who have to make it. But not for today’s addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame. You’ll have to be patient, because the video starts out slowly. But believe me, its all worth it when you get to the part of the video where he dishes up the rice.
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.
American mother and pillar of the criminally insane community, Wendy Werkit, identified a gap in the junk food market and took a leap of faith. “Why has no one thought of this yet”, she thought, as she put the finishing touches on her Facebook ad. “Fifty dollars isn’t bad for a ‘pox’ infected sucker”, she thought, as her brain fell out of her ass.
Ever since the first teaser trailer of The Dark Knight Rises hit the internet in July, fans have been scouring the online landscape looking for more sneak peeks to satisfy their insatiable desires for more bat-related awesomeness. Over the past weekend some lucky followers got exactly what they were hoping for.
As you know, Tiger Woods’ former caddie Steve Williams was recently asked why he had celebrated Adam Scott’s Bridgestone Invitational win in August so enthusiastically. When he replied that it was because his aim was to shove it up Tiger’s “black arsehole”, he was apparently not being racist. Woods himself forgave Williams by saying it was “just a comment he shouldn’t have made.”
Charlie Hebdo, French satirical weekly, was firebombed a week ago, after the publication put a caricature of the prophet Muhammad on the cover of an issue criticising the rise of Sharia law in the Middle East post-Arab Spring. And their newest issue has a caricature of the prophet making out with Hebdo’s editor.
The Movie Hyde Park on Hudson is due for release next year, and is going to tell the story of Franklin D Roosevelt, the US president who was responsible for leading America through World War II and to economic recovery, and the only president to ever have been elected for more than two terms. And who better to play the part than Bill Murray?
Conan O’Brien returned to New York last week for the first time since his falling out with the NBC – not only to rub his recent success in his former employers’ collective faces, but also to preside over the first same-sex marriage performed on late-night television. Because I guess that’s worth making a big deal over.
Back in 2008, then super-size Superbad star, Jonah Hill, announced he was shopping a script around Hollywood for an updated film adaptation of 21 Jump Street. The final product is set to drop early next year, featuring an oddly puffy looking Channing Tatum, and an extremely less puffy Jonah Hill
Looks like the only bottles in da club for Lil Weezy will be the ones filled with mineral water. Following his recent conviction for drug possession, the rapper isn’t allowed to consume alcohol or associate with anyone knowingly engaged in narcotics – good luck. Let’s see if he can last longer than (Camps Bay) “twenty minutes my broda”.
A report released by U.S. intelligence agencies claims that Chinese and Russian hackers, hired by their governments, have been stealing classified data from American government organizations. Assumptions like this have been made before, but this is the first time such a report to Congress has pointed the finger squarely at China and Russia.
Commercial space travel is now literally months away, and it appears that a mission to Mars is not too far off either. Six men that have been locked in large steel piped tubes for 520 days emerged from isolation earlier today after a bid to simulate a mission to Mars. This is taking Survivor to the next level.
When Gareth Cliff said on his show that “most 22-year-olds are laying on their backs with their legs open at 22, or else they are drinking” he wasn’t being a hater. This after the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) found him innocent of hate speech, following a complaint by a listener.
Hoo. Santa Cruz surfer Barbara Roettger got way up close and personal with a pod of humpback whales when she unwittingly found herself in the middle of a lunge feeding session; two massive whales popped up right next to the surfer and her kayak friends, seemingly out of nowhere. It’s pretty rad.
Remember a few months back when the local rags were full of news about Hollywood stars, Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington seen out and about in the Mother City filming an upcoming action flick? Well, check out the fruit of those labours after the jump!
If this six-inch blade truly is the notorious murder weapon of the famed “Jack The Ripper”, than you can expect to see it fetch a pretty penny on auction. The knife was found in a stack of possessions belonging to Sir John Williams, the surgeon thought to be the infamous killer. A surgeon, with a surgeon’s knife? Never!
Just when you thought the stench of death had finally lifted from the Harry Potter series, today it emerges that certain parts of Twitter are getting their eye-liner all smeared up regarding the fictional 30th anniversary of the slaying of teen wizard Harry’s fictional parents. For realsies…

Despite what we might think, the skies do not belong to us. In fact, we weren’t even the first beings up there. This was proven conclusively when a man paragliding in the Himalayas had a mid-air collision with a vulture.
Every now and then, we come across a concoction of sorts, one that is so outlandish, so preposterous and so crazy sounding that it may just be amazing. How does Marmite, leather, pickle and beer grab you?
Jordy Smith (who recently signed with Buchulife) and Dusty Payne in Round 1 of the Rip Curl Pro Search in San Francisco get scared out of the water by a big shark. I think his name was Bruce. Follow the link to check it out. Video contains bonus footage of Jordy dancing and singing “Staying […]

In confirmation of the rumour that you can’t keep a good ginger down, Harry Potter author, JK Rowling, has admitted in an interview that she almost killed off Harry’s bestie, Ron Weasley, early in the book saga.
Time is money. This driving mantra for Western culture is turned into In Time, a full-blown science-fiction action-thriller from the mind of Andrew Niccol (The Truman Show, Gattaca). While In Time has a sharp young cast, a visionary writer-director and an intriguing premise – it’s not worth your time or money.
We thoroughly enjoyed this new video made by our buddies over at Shoestring Productions, for Triumph (bras, not the motorbikes). They placed a hidden camera in the cleavage of a fairly busty model and sent her off, cruising around the waterfront. The results speak for themselves..
Universal have just dropped the trailer for the eighth (and we can only pray, last) installment in the long (lo-ooong) running American Pie series, American Reunion.
