Charlie Sheen has just been awarded the Guinness World Record for “Fastest Time to Reach 1 Million Followers on Twitter” Yes, in case you missed it, that was another win. And it only took him 25 hours and 17 minutes.
I’m not even going to bother with an introduction to what the one-man wrecking ball Charlie Sheen has been up to recently, because the chances are that if you are alive you already know. But as it is Friday I thought I would share this piece of comedy gold with you.
Thanks Kim, now when my kids ask me about music back in my day, I somehow have to keep a straight face while telling them how much better it was. But seriously now, this song is bad, like so bad it’s magnificent.
The S-Train Steve Jobs Unveils New iPad – Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs is on medical leave, but that didn’t stop him from making a surprise public appearance to unveil the iPad 2, an upgraded tablet computer that could help the company fend off a slew of rivals in the burgeoning market. “We’ve been working […]
For those of you who don’t already know, there’s a new Afrikaans vampire movie currently in production, Bloedsuier! And in a rather bold move to secure funding producers are now calling on fans to become investors in the movie.
Drive Angry 3D is a Nicolas Cage movie. Born Nicholas Kim Coppola, the actor has racked up quite the reputation, earning a Best Actor Oscar for his role in Leaving Las Vegas and then a nomination for Adaptation. Frankly, it was the worst best thing that could have happened to his film career.
In case you guys were worried that you wouldn’t be seeing Anne Hathaway in vinyl leather anytime soon, fear not: Hathaway has confirmed that she’s been cast as Selina Kyle in The Dark Night Rises, the third in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Please don’t talk about Halle Berry.
A computer glitch has been held responsible for the poker machine-like behaviour a number of Australian Commonwealth Bank ATMs displayed yesterday. Sydney saw queues of up to 50 people assembling to have a go at the machines. This obviously attracted a police presence because many simply couldn’t contain themselves.
Anonymous, the online sort-of-anarchic sort-of-activist group, forced Aaron Barr, head of HBGary Federal, the massive American tech security company, to resign. Which is sort of a huge deal in the way that Charlie Sheen isn’t. Even though I love everything that Charlie Sheen touches.
Take us to your leader. We come in peace. ET phone home. They don’t say much, but they sure know how to get to the point! ‘The X-Files’ knew “The Truth Is Out There” with dramatised cases of real government conspiracies and where there’s smoke, there’s a smouldering alien spacecraft. Don’t just take it from […]
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, is attempting to trademark his name for use in “public speaking services” and “entertainment services.” Personally I’d exercise a little more energy on the whole ‘I’m being extradited to Sweden for charges of rape and sexual assault,’ thing, but maybe this is more important.
So hey, if you aren’t up-to-date on the adventures of Charlie Sheen, warlock, this video summarizes it pretty well. There really isn’t that much exaggeration coming from the animators; they’re just displaying Sheen’s claims to possessing “fire breathing fists,” and F-18 – like qualities. Notice the Snow-man.
On the Andrew scale of brilliance this rates a 987.2. On the pages pages that follow you can listen to brief clips of every number one song listed up to 2011.
“You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God” should be Charlie Sheen’s new mantra after his first TV sit-down interview since he lashed out at Two and a Half Men’s producer last week. Looks like raking in $1.25 million per episode has really gone to his head.
He shrugged off his recent antics as “epic, epic behaviour.”
A couple of benches in New Zealand were altered to imprint advertising for Superette short shorts on the back of people’s thighs. This is creepy on a couple of levels, but I’m mostly curious as to how somebody could get the back of their thighs stamped with words and not notice.
While I may not have agreed with all the Oscar winners, I certainly can’t argue with the prizes dished out at the Golden Rasberry Awards on Saturday night (Razzies for short). The Razzies, for those of you out of the loop, honour the worst films of the year, giving the likes of ‘Sex and the City 2’ and ‘The Last Airbender’ their chance to shine.
Hundreds of skinny jeans walked around the CTICC on Saturday evening for the MK Awards – a first for Cape Town. But not everyone who attended thought it was awesome. Quote of the week: “Somewhere Jack Parow cannot be thinking that this mess was quite piele.”
What’s in my bag? Free songs by Dans Dans Lisa, P.H.Fat, and The Lottery Tickets. Step inside.
It’s Friday, and you need to look at this. Korean designer Eungi Kim assembled a horse-shaped bike frame for the Seoul Cycle Design Competiton and I can’t tell if I hate it or not. It’s horse-shaped, so I approve inherently, but it’s just one rung below the penny farthing on the hipster scale.
You guys remember all that hoo-ha over Gervais’ Golden Globes bit? It was pretty great. In all likelihood, that’s why the Oscars are being hosted by similarly scathing comedians, Anne Hathaway and James Franco. Sweetheart that he is, Gervais has offered them some free material, “in case they have a few minutes to fill.”
If you have not watched “The Hangover” then there is something wrong with you, as it’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen and I have very good taste. Thankfully the producers of “The Hangover” have seen it fit for us to be granted a new Hangover movie, aptly entitled “The Hangover 2”. Here’s the first sneak peak.
Never mind Libya, the biggest story this week has been Justin Bieber’s hair. And yesterday things got even more exciting (if you’re a tween), when the pop culture deity decided to donate a lock of his mane to another famous lesbian, Ellen DeGeneres. She then did what any other sensible person would do when receiving such a prized gift, she put it on eBay.
No, we’re not trying to pull any wool over anyone’s eyes here. We know how some of you enjoy a good round of golf from time to time, and what with Pravin Grodhan going hard at the “sinners” again this year, what better way to spite him than buying your very own country club in Florida?
Last week a very drunk gate-crasher at Paris Hitlon’s 30th birthday party managed to steal her $2 000 birthday cake.
Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest video or is the joke on us?
Boxing is one of those sports that has fascinated Hollywood for ages… It’s easy to see how the blood, sweat and tears shed in the boxing ring could inspire films like Raging Bull and Rocky. Yet, the real drama happens outside the ring in preparation, training, media speculation and in betting circles.
So hey, I think this is the coolest think I’ve seen today – the music video to glam-rapper Spoek Mathambo’s reinterpretation of Joy Division’s ‘She’s Lost Control,’ shot in Langa, Cape Town, and directed by crazy influential photographer Pieter Hugo.
Did Radiohead really allow a pretentious hipster to choreograph their latest music video? Find out after the break…
Street artist, Banksy, who has been nominated in the best documentary category for Exit Through The Gift Shop, has been told by the Academy award chiefs that he can’t attend the Oscars in disguise. Once again proving that the Academy are really just like a retiree committee, only richer.
Music executive Steve Stoute took out a full-page advert in the NYT’s Styles section on Sunday to display his open letter to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, slamming the Grammys for having become “a series of hypocrisies and contradictions.”
