Simon Cowell is a news maker. He’s made his mark by being the asshole judge on shows like Idols, America’s Got Talent, and Britain’s Got Talent. More importantly, he’s earned the reputation of an asshole who very seldom makes a bad call. So some might regard the man to be evil, others may hold the […]
That headline is somewhat ambiguous and I should begin by saying this story has nothing to do with Kevin Spacey trying to pickup Al Pacino after reading a copy of The Game. What it does have to do with, is the fact that Kevin Spacey is a master impersonator. Almost as good as Brendan Seery […]
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are possibly the coldest on-screen Hollywood couple since Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters, may they rest in peace. Cruise has always been a little distant, giving that looking-into-the-Sun gaze to the point that it’s become more of a glaze. What’s more, he’s embarrassed himself in the media so many times […]
Just yesterday I received an email from a reader saying they watched Just Jinjer in Johannesburg who had this to say: “holy shitballs they rocked amazing stage presence I went with some music mates and they must have creamed their pants several times…especially when they did that water and ice drum solo…INSANE..” Now you don’t […]
You know AB De Villiers, the South African cricket team’s star batsman? Well, he’s singing now – the recorded kind. And, best of all, he’s making music videos for his moer lekker treffers. In his powerful ballad, titled Maak Jou Drome Waar (“Make Your Dreams Come True), AB teams up with previously obscure but presumably […]
You know what could have made Twilight (any and all media produced under that banner) better? This could have. But that’s just personal opinion, correct? Well, seeing as the next graphic comes in the form of scientific data, it’s totally irrefutable.
2oceansvibe Radio has the great honour of hosting South Africa’s leading cellist, Carol Thorns, for even a brief few moments at an upcoming media launch. And whilst I might be fully aware of her talents, and the fact that she is heading to the Edinburgh Festival (25 shows!), I had no idea that she was […]
My GOD, I loved ninja stars as a child! It’s been so long and what better way for the beautiful stars of death to be reintroduced into my life, than in the new Brandon Flowers (The Killers lead singer) solo music video. And not only are they featured in the video, but it’s got Charlize […]
Well with Mel Gibson’s latest rage and George Michael smashing his Range rover into a shop, pissed, one can only be impressed with these quick-off-the-mark thinkers. This, sent in by Nick W, which his mate took and sent him – taken at the very Snappy Snaps outlet which George Michael crashed into. the damage is […]
Love him or hate him, but mostly hate him, Sepp Blatter was the lucky recipient of the Order of the Companions of OR Tambo, bestowed upon his reverend person by the magnanimous nation of South Africa. Well, alright then. You diplomats brown nose each other in whichever way you prefer. But, oh sweet heavens, how […]
In the gulag that Seth has us working in, we have a beating chamber. It’s the one small mercy of my life at 2oceansvibe. When I’m relieved of my duties as a human coffee table (after meetings), I go back to the beating chamber, where I get to break microwaves, furniture and sunglasses from rival […]
I’m feeling all weird inside as I write this, but it would be wrong not to (write this) as one of Hollywoods youngest starlets, Dakota “The Fandog” Fanning, really is growing up. Sure, she’s only 16, but that’s about 28 in Hollywood years. I mean, if you think about it, Roman Polanski would have had […]
THE LINKS IN THIS POST HAVE BEEN FIXED!!! Look, it’s getting a bit silly now as Radar Online releases this, the FOURTH installment of the Mel Gibson tapes. It’s off the charts, as you’ve come to expect (from episodes one, two and three), but I just want to say something here – if you listen […]
“One, two, Freddy’s coming for you!” A Nightmare on Elm Street is one of the most successful horror franchises ever with more sequels than Rocky… giving Freddy Krueger, the burnt man with a fedora and bladed claw an all-access pass to our dreams for almost three decades! After Freddy’s “colleagues”, Halloween’s Michael Myers and Friday […]
Well I’m feeling much better about myself, now that Michael Corleone Al Pacino has become a “brand whore” (as they call it in South Africa) by doing his first endorsement – in the form of a 30 second TV commercial for Vittoria, a brand of coffee. I’m not quite sure what to think, other than […]
Are you getting tired of this yet? I am. In fact, it’s downright sad. I used to be such a massive fan of Mel Gibson, and now this? Radar Online have now released a third installment of “The Mel Gibson Tapes.” These are now available to you for your listening pleasure horror. Mel Gibson – […]
This is turning into a bit of a series, as the second audio tape has now been released by Radar Online. If you missed the first one, where Mel Gibson calls the mother of his child a “whore” and says she looks like a “bitch on heat” and says that she will get “raped by […]
Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]
Here’s George Clooney’s girlfriend, Elisabetta Canalis, spotted on a boat somewhere awesome. She is what we in the industry refer to as “NPR” – which means No Photoshop Required. Fine.. Nice one, George.. Excellent. I must say, I take my hat off to George Clooney. Thanks for tuning in, gang. [thanks neil]
Independent Newspapers [IOL, Cape Times etc] is known for its occasionally obtuse and ambiguous headlines. For example, when more boring news groups might report “TWO MEN ARRESTED IN DRUG BUST”, Independent would probably phrase it thus: “WITNESS FINGERS DRUG LORDS – TWO ARRESTED” Shockingly enough, what I’m about to show you did NOT, I repeat, […]
By now you should be aware that Oscar-winning actor, Mel Gibson is alleged to have been recorded on the phone talking to his ex-bird and mother of one of his eight children, Oksana Grigorieva. But not just talking, he apparently used all sorts of colourful words and racial slurs. Besides making use of words such […]
The Muse is threatening a viewing of the new Twilight at some stage this weekend – possibly even as soon as Friday night. With weed levels at an all-time low, I’m not really sure how this is all going to pan out. Let alone whether or not I will make it to the other side. […]
One of the neverending social debates have to do with the word “nigger.” The classic argument (predominantly in the US) has to do with black guys calling each other nigger (eg. in movies they often say “nigger, please!”) – which is apparently fine (personally, I would prefer it not to be used at all, to […]
When you think “Irish movie”, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? You think dreary coastlines, people with a strange affinity for potatoes, seaweed and fish (usually together in a pie), the IRA and The Cranberries. At a push, you might be thinking Gerard Butler and posthumous love letters (why, Gerard, why?). But […]
Jim Carrey is gay. Well, at least in his latest outing, I Love You Phillip Morris in which he portrays the real life story of Steven Jay Russell, a cop, a conman, an inmate and a big fan of musicals. If you desperately want one of those golden statuettes, play someone famous, someone that’s mentally-challenged […]
The biggest Old Spice ad to hit the internot was surely the one which ends with the guy on a horse. It’s been watched nearly 12 million times so far on YouTube. Check it out here if you missed it. Once you’ve done that, cast your beautiful eyes over to this video below, which is […]
Okay, so some of you may have sniffed out the Bulwer-Lytton Award in the press recently. In a nutshell, it’s an annual prize for the most heinously horrible complete sentence known to the English language, penned in the year of the award. No, the IOL sub-editors did not clinch the prize this year. Without further […]
Hello beautiful babies! Daddy was just browsing through the Vanity Fair magazine on his iPad, and he came across this picture of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, taken at Heathrow airport in 1970. Daddy wants you to look at this picture carefully. You see what Liz did there? With those shorts and that top? And […]
Remember that band that made that sick “My Cape Town” song? The one that went viral and brought down the Seacom cable? Ja, that one. Ok, it didn’t really bring down Seacom, but it did manage to get Helen Zille to comment on their Facebook page. We’ve also featured it a couple of times on […]
