And now I don’t want to live on this planet anymore. Around 3,000 words have been added this year in the “most comprehensive Scrabble wordlist ever produced,” which I would be more upset about if most of my Scrabble games didn’t end in tears and fire. Also included: ‘innit,’ ‘thang,’ ‘fansite,’ and ‘Facebook.’
Man, we seem to be running out of classy damsels nowadays. Dana Wynter, 1950’s starlet, best known for starring as the token distressed heroine in low-budget science-fiction film “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” died May 5 of congestive heart failure in Ojai, California. She was 79.
This charming fellow is a member of the English Defence League, which is something similar to the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but for racist chavs. He’s clearly afraid of the the encroaching influence of “Muslamic” law. And did I hear him say “Muslamic Ray Guns” at 1:20?
The man with the effortless swing, and who is otherwise referred to as the “Big Easy”, has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. The ceremony included a tribute to another hall of famer, Spain’s Seve Ballesteros, who passed away Saturday after being diagnosed with a brain tumour three years ago.
I’m lucky in that I am not told what album to review each month. I can choose. But this is a double-edged sword. Because life is short I generally try to review something that is actually enjoyable, rather than wasting time listening to music that drains me of the will to carry on and then […]
Man, I’m not sure how to feel about this – I mean Naked News has been a thing worldwide for a while now, and it’s great that SA’s catching on to the idea of having attractive news anchors strip while letting you know what’s up on NASDAQ. Nevertheless, ultimately this is basically a way of subscribing to see folk naked on the internet.
Because, as it happens, the gig is planned for October 8, which also happens to be Yom Kippur – the Jewish Day of Atonement. This of course means that observant Jews will be engaged in a 25-hour period of intensive fasting at roughly the same point that Chris Martin breathlessly proclaims his love for Africa from the stage.
So hey, third time lucky and all. Paul McCartney, 69, is taking another shot at that whole ‘marriage’ thing with New York socialite Nancy Shevell, 51 – there’s still a nice two-decade gap there, so Paul still gets high fives, but it’s not a creepy two-decade gap. The two met at the Hamptons in ’07.
South African cricketing legend and loyal 2oceansvibe pundit, Herschelle Gibbs, has finally made the announcement about how you can win his man of the match medal he received for his magnificent 175 runs from 111 balls in the infamous one day international match between South Africa and Australia. The one where we scored 438. Details after the jump.
Most of you would have caught the piece entitled Curio-Shop Afro-Motif Music: Who Will Rid Us Of This Sad Sight?, by 2oceansvibe colmnist, Sipho Hlongwane. Whilst the story was well read and received some commentary, it was only today that the article received a response from one of it’s main subjects, SA music act Gazelle. I […]
Jigga recently went gallivanting around Paris with his wife, Beyonce. Jay-Z’s penis, however, clearly felt a little left out and decided to join the festivities, as you’ll see from the pics inside. I just love Beyonce’s reaction in the photo where they are getting up from the table and she spots Jigga’s little finger pointing directly at her.
You guys like water balloons, right? Look outside, of course you do. And slow-motion things are pretty swell. And it’s Friday. So click through, start your weekend right. Seriously though, this isn’t so much a bursting water balloon as an exploding water bed. They’re called red giants.
At approximately this time last week, Seth Rotherham, Bruce Good and I were taking in the Royal Wedding at the 2oceansvibe Media Compound when we noticed something odd. What was it? It was Princess Beatrice’s hat of course. SilverStreak has already alluded to its ridiculousness this morning. Now it’s become a Photoshop hit too.
One of the things the other Middleton siblings probably didn’t prepare for, was the leaking of naked party pics which were taken before their sister become the Queen of the world. The following pics have been doing the rounds on the internet, featuring James Middleton giving it a full rev. Click link – Warning: NSFW
We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?” Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So with great pleasure we present this week’s three La Fee Absinthe-Minded Moment of the Week finalists. Inside we have Donald Trump, Princess Beatrice, and Sheryl Cwele. But who claims the prize for the most mindbogglingly foolish tomfoolery of the week? Click through to find out!
Loyal 2oceansvibe readers will be relatively well versed in terms of what it takes to pull off a flesh-revealing stunt in a race. Remember when Evan Price rode the Argus earlier this year in that Borat mankini? Alas, Brett Henderson hasn’t been as lucky. Mind you, he was effectively just long-distance streaking.
Claude Stanley Choules, the last surviving World War I combat veteran, passed away today, aged 110, in a Perth nursing home. Choules joined the Royal Navy at the age of 15, starting a military career that spanned 41 years, across both world wars. He is survived by his three children.
The nice thing about Pixar is that all of its movies make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Charity helps people AND makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. With this in mind, Lee Unkrich, Pixar director, is letting you enjoy the indulgence of both, by auctioning off Pixar stuff for Japan aid.
On your marks… get set… GO! Just like the Need for Speed video game brand, The Fast and the Furious has built its own empire out of man’s desire to win, conquer and defy death. Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist is Fast and Furious in fifth gear and they’ve made a few modifications… powering […]
It’s ironic in some ways and I’ll leave that deduction up to you and your dirty mind. But for now I simply wish to report this image of Kate Middleton’s sister, Pippa, wrapped in toilet paper. To check it out enlarged, with bottles of booze lying around and a report about where it might have […]
To get to my mother’s desk I had to walk through a curio shop. It was one of those dreadfully cheesy African curio shops, with the carved wooden and stone animals, the beads and the bowls, like you find at any South African airport, the Moyo restaurants and the Durban beachfront. I have that exact same feeling (as if I’m back in that curio shop) when I come across certain music videos made by South African bands. What is with this new trend with our bands who think that by merely smearing white face paint across their videos it will make them mysterious and exotic?
Probably the greatest photograph to be taken of the Royal Wedding, features a scowling Grace van Cutsem – Prince William’s 3-year-old goddaughter. The timing of the photo is nothing short of epic, as it happens to be during the newlyweds first balcony kiss. The crowds are going nuts, as a clearly unimpressed Grace covers her […]
Kate Moss is basically the greatest supermodel that ever lived. But not only that, she also happens to be a genuine fashion icon. Lest we forget she got bust for coke and punished critics by coming back stronger than ever before. Right now she is on the cover of French Vogue AND Vogue Brazil AND […]
Our royal reporter, Nadia Neophytou, was in London these past few days, and gives us this report: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…” Catherine Middleton, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Duke, made true this Victorian lore, as her fairytale wedding unfolded in London yesterday. From the dress to her earrings and tiara, […]
But seriously! Lagerfield had a candy sculpture of Baptiste Giabiconi comissioned to promote Magnum ice cream. It’s wearing white briefs, and is placed inside of a room made of chocolate. There are so many comments to make about this that I am just going to report the facts and let you guys run with it, okay?
For those of you who missed it – here is a video of the royal wedding vows made between Prince William and and Kate Middleton today at Westminster Abbey. Click link to check it out.
Our intrepid reporter from the Outback of the Northern Territory, Bruce Manley, decided to pop on to the Flying Kangaroo and hop over to London to see exactly what is taking crocs off the front page of the NT News.
Okay, I have tried to stay out of it. I vowed that I would not get caught up in all the insanity surrounding this wedding. But come on! Some American woman has literally quit her job to fly to England, a miserable and wet country, to be amongst the throng of slags and chavs on Kate’s big day.
The big day is virtually upon us now and the official programme for the royal wedding has finally been released this morning, a mere 24 hours before Prince William and Kate Middleton make it official at Westminster Abbey. The programme also includes a new photograph taken at the time of their engagement.
German actress Antje Traue has been cast as ‘Faora,’ villainous accomplice to the no-less-ridiculous-sounding Zod in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot. Since we’re now assured at least one slow-motion high-definition Traue scene, the reboot might be worth looking at, Snyder notwithstanding.
