Sinatra. Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Chairman of the Board. It’s hard to know where to start with Frank Sinatra. There’s the young Frank of the 1940’s, the Oscar winning movie star, The Rat Pack years, with his old pals Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and the boys. Then there’s the manic depression, the equal rights activist […]
Australian artist and ‘body architect’ Lucy McRae, in collaboration with Harvard biologist Sheref Mansy, is releasing these little digestible capsules that make human skin emit perfume scents. Which is nice and futuristic, I think. And by futuristic I mean I have no idea how this thing works.
I’m quite sure this new resort won’t pull the usual folk that hang out in Sandy Bay. They have their vibe. This resort will have its vibe. Anyway, a report in the Weekend Argus has said that so far, Somerset West residents (where the resort will be situated) have expressed mixed reactions, but a summer 2011 opening is definitely on.
Banksy’s put up some new art on his site because all the other well-known people were speaking out about the NewsCorp. hacking scandal, and Banksy didn’t want to be left behind. Which is nice! Because honestly I’d almost forgotten about Murdoch. Way to be relevant, Banksy.
“Who’s the guy with all the hair? It’s Al Pacino, who with the help of an impressive hair and makeup team is becoming Phil Spector for an as-yet untitled biopic about the onetime record executive. The film, which co-stars Helen Mirren (she plays Spector’s friend and attorney Linda Kenney Baden), will air on HBO and […]
A Soweto man, who had just stolen a gun, was robbed and shot with it. After which all the men were arrested, the two shooters charged with attempted murder, and the thief, with robbery. Karma’s a bitch.
Regardless of which side of the fence you sit on when it comes to pirating music, you have to respect the guys from Blink-182. For their latest single, they used several unauthorized fan clips that appeared on YouTube to make a music video for their latest single.
“Boom.” Of course, there can only be one reason for this unusual meteorological blessing: The TBG is on the Mountain. Coincidence? I think not. Come on. Don’t be silly. [Headline image source:tablemountain]
It’s a thing of beauty. [Thanks, Mike!]
Aleksandr Pylyshenko, a Ukrainian artist who owns a private zoo in the city of Vasilyevka, plans on living in an enclosure with Katya and Samson, his lions, for five weeks to raise money to improve the zoo’s living conditions and to increase awareness of underfunded private Ukrainian zoos. So that makes sense.
Her untimely death shocked millions of people, but as proof that every cloud has a silver lining, a duet between Amy Whinehouse and Jazz Legend Tony Bennett is to be released as a charity single. All royalties from the pop classic Body and Soul, are to go to an organisation set up by Amy’s father, curbing youth drug use.
Recently 2oceansVibe told you about a certain duel that was going to happen live on YouTube, well kind of, between Isaiah Mustafa, the old Old Spice Guy, and Fabio Old Spices, the new Old Spice Guy. Isaiah defeated Fabio after some heated bathroom exchanges, but the real point of interest is that 22 million people have watched.
Only a surfer knows the feeling. It’s a saying that has been reserved for that rush of sheer exhilaration as you catch the perfect wave into shore, that moment of blinding truth that connects you with nature – that driving force that motivates you to get up early and break the ice. For Bethany Hamilton […]
Matt Damon and his mom – a teacher – recently took part in a public march to support educators. But during a television interview a cameraman of all people decided to pipe up, claiming that “10% of teachers are bad at their job.” Matt wasn’t having anyone potentially insult his mother and responded with: “Maybe you’re a shitty cameraman!” Cute, man!
A 31-year-old Swedish man, known only as ‘Richard’, was attempting to build a nuclear reactor in his kitchen and was arrested and had his experiment shut down after he contacted the Swedish Radiation Authority (Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten) to ask whether or not his pet project was legal.
Look, no one likes a flash mob, so try to refrain from breaking down our doors tomorrow, okay? One of the world’s most universally popular comics, Pablo Francisco, will be live on 2oceansVibe Radio‘s Morning Meeting tomorrow morning at 10h30. Be sure to tweet us your song requests and any questions you have for Pablo. […]
You’re going to want to watch this. OK Go have put out a new experimental music video for their new track, All Is Not Lost. You remember that one video with the treadmills? Or with the Rube Goldberg machine? Yeah, this is better than that.
A California taxidermist has preserved Lady Gaga’s now-famous meat dress she wore at the 2010 MTV Music Awards. The dress is now on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
How’s this? Amy Winehouse’s family believes that a seizure related to abstinence from drinking is actually what killed her. The family says the singer quit alcohol cold turkey three weeks before she died. They think her tiny frame could not handle the shock of withdrawal, leading to her untimely death.
When the Duchess of Cambridge’s hot sister, Pippa Middleton, isn’t appearing on best body part lists all over the world, she’s informing other equally important global trends. Such as baby names. Naming guide website, Nameberry, says Pippa’s recent rise to fame has led to her topping the most popular girl’s name list for 2011.
When it comes to the food industry, one must always be on the lookout for exciting, new trends. As you know, Ass-Flavoured Products are very “in” right now and it therefore makes perfect sense for the Caltex garage at the Waterfront to launch a titillating new range of Pieman’s ass flavoured pies.
Steven Spielberg is a Hollywood legend. This is the premise of Super 8, a new mystery, science-fiction thriller from writer-director J.J. Abrams that functions as a tribute to Spielberg, who’s signed on as producer. In case you haven’t heard of Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, he’s the guy that brought us Mission: Impossible III and the new […]
2 December sees the South African release of Real Steel, featuring Hugh Jackman. It is about boxing, but instead of humans we are talking robots in the fighting ring! We can bring you the very first South African look at images from this “gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future.” You are welcome.
A six-part reality series about the Duchess of York’s psychological issues was always liable to be slightly embarrassing viewing right? But no-one expected her to cry so much. The show, Finding Sarah, has just finished flighting in the UK and it seems Fergie just could not stop tearing up during filming. Even her poor daughters were caught up in the emotional roller-coaster, when surely all they wanted to do for the rest of 2011 was recover from the royal wedding (outfits) earlier this year.
Where are you going to be at 18h00 this evening? I know what I’m going to be doing – and let’s be honest about this – you know what you should be doing too, right? Something awesome might happen. The Old Spice Guy has accepted Fabio’s challenge and they will have some sort of bathroom face-off, live, on YouTube.
My friend Lara is a vet in training and spent most of this month putting her hands in animals. Whilst out fiddling with animals in the Kruger Park, she noticed that even the parksboard is trying to cash in by introducing various ass-flavoured products.
Look, it is very difficult to say anything polite about the tow truck industry. The same goes for a camel toe. But a 2oceansViber recently snapped some quality humour pics over in Miami of a tow truck company called “Camel Towing & Service”. Very clever – see pics inside.
This photoshopped poster appeared on the “home page” of the “ANCYL”, “hours ago”. All of this is in quotation marks because apparently just about anything can happen with https://ancyl.org.za, which is currently enjoying an extended period of downtime. As Dumb & Dumber is the official choice of 2oceansVibe as Greatest Film of All Time, we […]
Nudity does not suit model Candice Boucher’s image in South Africa. No-one in SA will ever see Candice strip off, capisce? (Apart from the thousands of South Africans who saw this nude photo shoot online when she was US Playboy’s April cover girl last year, I suppose).
There was a fair amount of sport to watch this past weekend, but I was particularly looking forward to watching the closing rounds of the Billabong Pro surfing event that was on at J-Bay in the Eastern Cape. Jordy Smith had been surfing well and it looked like he could make the final. He did, and he won, again.
