The original WILF, then MILF, GILF, and later GGMILF, Great Dame Liz Taylor was picked up in a limousine sent from heaven yesterday. During her time on earth, it took her no less than eight marriages to realise that she’s just not cut out for it. Her response in this video when asked if she’d ever marry again is…just…epic.
I tend to die a little bit inside every time music heroes try to put out new material after they’ve peaked, but I really like David Bowie so I guess somebody up there likes me. An unreleased 2001 Bowie album called Toy made its way to the internet earlier this week.
News just in, Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder of Facebook and seller of your personal information, is no longer single. The world may now breathe a collective sigh of relief. None of us could bare his loneliness for even one a moment longer.
Dave Moffat from the Dirty Skirts just sent this in. Enjoy the wording under “i’m lovin’ it” Pure quality. Thanks for that, Dave. Follow Dave on Twitter here.
The Japanese have displayed some of the most heroic efforts in aid of fellow man during this, one of the hardest experiences they have had to endure. Now, we’re happy to bring you an animal and man story. No dog, just a small dolphin in a rice field. That needed rescuing. Brace yourselves, this is literally fantastic!
A Russian man has just been sentenced for hacking into one of the video billboards around Moscow and looping a porn video over it. The best part of all is that someone managed to capture a video of the event. You know you want to see it.
I am, on the whole, reluctant to write an article that does exactly what it says on the tin, but Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so it seems worth bringing up. Mel Gussow, the New York Times critic who put together the Liz Taylor obituary, passed away six years before she did.
Elizabeth Taylor, one of the iconic film actresses of the 2oth century, has passed away in her California home at the age of 79. Taylor is survived by her four children (who were at her bedside in the moments prior to her death), 10 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
Just Go With It is more than just a movie title, it’s advice for the audience. After 20 odd years of friendship between Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, the two stars have finally done a movie together! The delay could have due to the pair not being a natural on-screen match. On the other hand, […]
When I was about seven or eight all I knew of William Shatner was that he was the voice of “Rescue 911”. In my ignorance I didn’t know that he was the first captain of the Enterprise, nor did I know he would one day become everyone’s favourite misogynist, Denny Crane, on “Boston Legal”.
In case you were concerned that the impending marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton wasn’t a match made in heaven, British astrologers have now CONFIRMED that they are highly compatible and could in fact be soulmates.
We wrote earlier in the day that The New Age had engaged in a small but embarrassing bout of mistaken identity, having posted a picture of world renowned fashion mogul, Karl Otto Lagerfeld, above a story regarding the appointment of one Karl Otto, esq., to one or other lofty position at the Maritime Authority of South Africa. Enjoy the update after the jump.
I wrote yesterday about possibly the worst song ever written, “Friday”, which has shot a 13-year-old girl called Rebecca Black to instant stardom/ infamy in less than a week. Here are the best covers of the song, including one by “Bob Dylan”.
About a week ago a video featuring an Australian victim of bullying, literally body slamming his much skinnier bully into the concrete, did the rounds on the interweb. Casey “The Punisher” Heynes received immediate hero status and has now had his say on events that led up to one of the more memorable fight backs in bullying history.
Prepare to witness hilarity the likes of which you have not seen since “Antoine Dodson” or “Double Rainbow”. If you thought “Bieber Fever” was bad prepare yourself for the “Black Plague”. Make ready for Rebecca Black and “Friday”.
20 May sees the worldwide release of the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. We can bring you the very first South African look at Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ official film posters. You’re welcome.
Are those free songs in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Tracks by Mr. Cat & The Jackal, Pixie, and The City Is The Dessert.
Oh boy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which is apparently under some financial stress, is launching a Mandela-themed designer line, dubbed the 46664 Apparel line. Shwe-shwe material and brightly-coloured golf shirts feature prominently, because that’s what Mandela’s about.
Crusty rocker Bryan Adams is about to become a dad for the first time. At 51, Adams – who is responsible for nostalgic pop anthems ‘Summer of 69′ and ’18 Til I Die’ – clearly believes it’s never too late to have a happy childhood. Or, for that matter, to have a child.
Did you get a slightly uneasy feeling when you discovered Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was a Disney movie? Mild surprise may be a better description, well – you may have experienced a similar feeling when you found that Captain Jack Sparrow, better known as Johnny Depp, is Rango. That’s right… […]

At long last, Microsoft has taken their iPod-but-worse MP3 player, the Zune, out behind the shed with a shotgun. Microsoft announced that they would stop making new versions of the music/video player due to “tepid demand.”
Joe Morello, virtuoso drummer to the Dave Brubeck Quartet and contributor to such legendary recordings as Blue Ronda a la Turk and Take Five died at his New Jersey home on Saturday at the age of 82. No cause of death has yet been announced.
Spotted at Cape Town International. Stunning! [thanks carryn]
Producers of a South Korean girl band are claiming that the egg-hatching singer has snatched parts of their song. They claim that her new single “Born This Way” shares “similarities” to one of the songs they wrote.
You’re all going to want to take a good look at this. Oh, Zach Galifianakis. Why can’t all chubby-hairy people be like you? Granted, the monologue is mostly spent doing regular awesome Galifianakis stand-up, but it’s very, very good stand-up. Your morning will be better for it. Go on.
Many a time have my friends and I sat down and battled with our wits, arguing over which comedy movie is the best of all time. We need no longer argue, as the good readers of College Humor have voted on what the top 100 comedies of all time are. I mostly agree , except that Anchorman is number one, fact!
Initially instituted as a service to monitor the safety of our local and surrounding shorelines during the World Cup last year, the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system is a welcomed spin-off from a successful local concept for maritime protection. It will also help to track shipwrecks and oceanic pollution.
What’s in my bag? Free songs by Fire Through The Window, ekhouvanjou, okay! and Sergeant Fu. Step inside…
Angry Birds is probably the most popular mobile game at the moment and I am entirely hooked. I have stopped shaving and I don’t bath anymore. I am literally covered in my own filth and surrounded by empty McDonalds Happy Meal boxes. But I finally did take a break when I saw Conan O’Brien’s life-size version of the game. Enjoy.
