Prince William proposed to his lady. She said yes. He will become king. She will become queen. Bid farewell to any hopes of a moderately normal life, Kate. Yours is all polo, stifled conversation, funny clothing and sex scandals from now on. On the up side, you will be living in a palace for the vast majority of it.
At the beginning of the Formula One season, Richard Branson and the owner of low-cost Malaysian airline AirAsia and the F1 team currently known as Lotus, Tony Fernandes, placed a bet that would see the one whose F1 team lost serve as a stewardess on the winner’s airline. Branson lost the bet!
Chris Nolan, auteur behind the no-longer-embarassing Batman franchise, has started gearing up for the third installment of the rebooted series – The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently Nolan wants two female leads this time, just to rub it in Katie Holmes’ face. Potential candidates and gallery after the jump.
If you missed out on the Goldfish show yesterday at Central Park, all I can say is shame. There was simply nothing more important happening yesterday in Cape Town.
The weather – hot, the beer – cold, the bikinis – plentiful, the moustaches – outstanding.

Fantastically funny ad campaign by Arab Dairy for their Panda Cheese, which doesn’t have anything to do with pandas, but don’t let that get in the way of enjoying these videos.
Gwyneth Paltrow gave her first live country music performance at the CMAs, singing the theme song for her upcoming movie, ‘Country Strong’. Is it just me, or does she look a tad nervous? There’s a lot of blinking going on. And let’s not mention the unplugged guitar. Strum it hard, Gwyny!
Celebrity chef and master of self-expression, Gordon Ramsay, just cannot catch a break. After recently having his Cape Town restaurant shut down, he was then going to be litigated by Sol Kerzner. Now, weirdly, after sacking his father in law, Chris Hutcheson, his wife’s family are not very agreeable.
David Thorne needs absolutely no introduction. While we’ve dealt at length with Dave (we’re on a first name basis now) and his hilarious approach to communication, his latest assault on Robert Schaefer over missing businesscard artwork is absolutely outstanding.
Zack Snyder, the man behind 300 and Watchmen, has released the trailer for his new film – Sucker Punch. Judging from the trailer, this is a movie about crazy & attractive ladies, dragons, robots, guns, swords and cabaret. My pants just got a little tighter.
That’s right, guys and lady guys. These two mustachio’d men of moor madness are telling you to Tjoon Your Holiday this morning. So don’t be kak, check out the details of how to tune in after the jump, and stand the chance to win one of ten tickets to The Most Amazing Show, Live! at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town.
Hidden somewhere between the not-yet-sticky pages of 200,000 issues of this Friday’s edition of Playboy are 10 ‘Golden Tickets’ to the annual Midsummer Night’s Dream Party at the Playboy Mansion, in a move inspired by Willy Wonka. We have yet to confirm whether or not there’ll be orange midgets at this party too.
A quick note from Spling: “I walked into the cinema without any preconceived bias… armed with only TWO facts: the film was called The Bad Lieutenant and starred Nicolas Cage. I’d like to preface this movie review by saying that I am a big fan of Nicolas Cage as an indie and commercial actor and […]
Have I explained why you should forget about everything else being released this year and get excited about Tron: Legacy? I haven’t? Jeeze, I’m sorry, that’s my bad. This movie has Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde in it. It’s also the sequel to the film that defined your childhood’s idea of how ‘cyberspace’ worked. Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack. Do you need more time?
Just last week we reported how Myspace was repositioning itself as a “social entertainment platform”. As if to prove us right, they’ve only gone and exclusively previewed the brilliant new OK Go music video featuring 2,430 slices of toast in one of the most epic stop-motion animations I’ve seen in a long time.
A brilliant ad campaign promoting the Movember testicular-cancer awareness drive has popped up at Moustaches Make A Difference, reminding us of the fact that moustaches are what make great men great. Check out the full gallery after the jump – it’s awesome.
If you’ve jumped on the Movember train but are lacking the technology to track and share your progress, this is the app for you.
The Movember Mophone App allows you to track your progress and share it online, even making a stop-motion animation of your growth in the process.
The BBC has a new show called The Trip, which features two of Britain’s greatest comedians, Gavin & Stacey’s Rob Brydon and Alan Partridge’s Steve Coogan. In this clip, the two try to outdo each other with their Michael Caine impressions and the result is further proof that no one does comedy quite like the Brits.
‘So, you’re in love with one of your friends, but she has a boyfriend and probably wouldn’t have sex with you anyway’ is pretty descriptive, as titles go. You probably don’t need much more to go by than that. It’s funny and you should watch it. The fireman here knows what I’m talking about.
Watch as George Takei calls out former Arkansas School Board member Clint McCance for such charmingly homophobic statements as “I enjoy the fact that [homosexuals] often give each other AIDS and die.” There isn’t any real recovery from being called a douchebag by Captain Sulu.
So Jess took some pics while she was pregnant and sent them to her beau, Cash Warren. Somehow those pics were intercepted and have appeared on the internet. Instead of you having to scrounge around, we thought we would make your job a bit easier. So you can check them out after the jump (NSFW).
I don’t know about you but I find this to be rather cruel. I admit, I laughed like I was high, but at the same time, you have to think; Do these poor old geysers actually know what they are singing? And they do not look like they want to take their clothes off…[video]
It’s just too stunning how Nando’s kicks in every time.
Just as a story reaches fever pitch, they pump out a viral ad which circulates like wildfire. It appears in inboxes around the country and the world, and then pops up on blog sites and news sources within days. And somehow, they crack me up every time!
This one being no exception.
It’s Friday, you should look at this. A classy young John Lydon walks through London in proto-hipster gear, talking about the disintegration of the Sex Pistols and general punk things. He knew the vibe.
How awesome is this guy? A true Celtic fan not realising the camera is on him until his mom gives him the heads up and then the true rock star is unleashed! In 1 min 35 sec this guy is turned into a true rockstar,check out the chick in white grab his ass. [video]
A blog post written by Monica Gaudio was copied entirely and published in a for-profit magazine, Cook’s Source, without permission or payment. On contacting the publication, Ms. Gaudio was informed that “the web is considered ‘public domain'” and that she should compensate Cook’s Source for editing her work. Things have not gone well for Cook’s Source since then.
Lets just deal with the name first. Mumford & Sons. Not ideal, if you’re trying to be cool that is. There are bands out there with names like Jane’s Addiction, Primal Scream and, of course, The Rolling Stones. Just plain cool. In fact, if there’s one thing the Stones had over the Beatles, it was their name. The Beetles would have been better, but they had to get playful and incorporate the word “beat” into their name. Naughty guys, very naughty. You were young and you thought you were being clever, but no one loves a pun. I guess you made up for it though.
But Mumford & Sons? That’s a lot to make up for. I’m not even sure that John, Paul and the boys could do enough to distract us from that incredibly dorky name. I’ve seen it being mentioned in various music magazines and have sub-consciously just ignored the band. But then I started hearing that they were getting a reputation for incredible live shows with a kind of party atmosphere where everybody just lets loose.

There’ve been a couple of Inception spoofs floating around the interwebs lately, mostly centered on how ridiculously convoluted the plot is. That’s cool and all, but what about the real question – what would you really do if you could mess with people’s heads using a dramatic soundtrack and Ellen Page? This video answers that.
Have you seen these awesome kids who are on a sketch-show called The Saffas? They act like security guards and speak in what is supposed to be a South African accent. It’s actually pretty damn funny.There are a few more at The School of Comedy Television Show. [video]
