There’s no question that Eminem has had a rough ride throughout his life – always at odds with how he coped with the atrocities of his early life, and how he managed his new life in the spotlight. He took a four-year hiatus after releasing Encore in 2004, and his two most recent albums Relapse and Recovery, were a bit hit and miss, with many fans claiming to have lost the real slim shady.
Last night Ricky Gervais took to the stage to perform songs as David Brent for the first time. Sipping a can of beer in between songs, Brent performed the 40-minute set to a rapturous crowd of over 500 people. Tickets to the gig sold out in 60 seconds, and included celebrities like Professor Green. Here’s […]
Gadabout and local Internet/YouTube/Movember/UCT social committee celebrity, Anton Taylor has produced a video reply to Steve Hofmeyr’s Red October movement, which co-opted communist iconography for the sake of (incorrectly) asserting that white South Africans were suffering a genocide. Anton’s video is getting more heat than a lost Smuts resident at Danie Craven stadium. What do […]
Well, this is the best worst thing you’ll see today. What we have here is difinitive proof that Rebecca Black was not the puppet master behind her ironic smash hit, “Friday”. You have a man named, Patrice Wilson who wrote and produced Friday. Patrice has struck again, and struck very hard indeed. Presenting: ‘Chinese Food’ by Alison Gold – the next best worst thing on the internet.
You best believe that when Will Smith is filming out in far-flung locations, he ain’t going to the local motel to spend his nights. No sir. Being the only actor to have had 8 films gross over $100 million – he could afford to make sure that wherever he filmed, he knew he had a […]
Right, so – Sandra Bullock. Whether you watched her in Miss Congeniality, Princess Diaries or 28 Days (or in any other of her countless movies that stretch all the way from the 80’s) you’d have a hard time denying her awesomeness. And now it’s gonna get even harder, as she recently broke it down on the Jonathan Ross show – rapping better than most.
In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate. The scenario is a direct play-acting of a scene from cult classic radio comedy programme, The 12th Man, which was written and performed by comedian Billy Birmingham.
Remember when we broke the news yesterday of Banksy’s art being defaced in New York? Well, if the images weren’t enough to go by, we got hold a video that sheds light on just how bad the graffiti has gotten.
Well imagine the hundreds and thousands of people that walked past Banksy’s New York street stand, not realising they could buy his art – worth millions – for a few dollars. One woman even negotiated a 50% discount!
Curly-haired golf star, Rory McIlroy has dumped his blonde tennis-star girlfriend, Caroline Wozniacki. It’s fair to say that she is in a different league to him, but at the same time, he does have the means to aim high..
I dropped a line to Baby Jesus and The Blonde from Goldfish this weekend, asking where the hell their new album is. ‘It drops on Monday’ replied Baby Jesus, en route to Amsterdam (#normal). ‘Send that shit my way,’ I insisted. So here it is gang – their new album, ‘Three Second Memory..’
Welcome to Friday. Here’s a guy jumping off the top of a mountain, flying down the slopes with a wing suit, and gliding on to the service of a lake for his landing. The jump took place at Lake Garda in Italy on September 30th 2013. Raphael Dumont, the guy who nailed it, has over 600 flights under his belt.
Starring Bale, Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle” is out in American theaters on December 13, and we’re of the opinion that this has the potential to be the best broad-collar-suit film since Goodfellas, or at least Boogie Nights. Also, Christian Bale: that boep, my man. That boep.

Kanye West made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s show yesterday to clear the air following a very public Twitter spat between the pair some time in the last 10 days. The full interview is well worth your time. If you don’t have much time to spare, hit part 2 straight away, and skip to the four minute mark for an amazing eight-minute long rant.
Hot Pockets’ latest ad, titled “You Got What I Eat,” is a four-minute parody of Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend,” starring Kate Upton, Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow.And it’s pretty much one of the weirdest things on the internet right now. The video features a blinged out Larry King, a mini spacecraft and a cute video game death match. Weird, man.

In 2009, film maker Alex Gibney set out to make a film documenting Lance Armstrong’s comeback year in cycling. For the whole year, Armstrong lied to Gibney’s face.

To kick start Hashtag Season 3 of The Anne Hirsch Show, Anne and her crew embarked on a roadtrip to Darling for the annual Rocking the Daisies festival. Says Anne, “We made so many new #besties and basically had THE BEST TIME IN THE WORLD EVER and we didn’t even have to twerk.” Our favourite parts were the Norwegian speaking “Xhosa”, and Anne brushing her teeth with someone else’s tooth brush.
What if telekinesis was real? How would you react? A hidden camera promotion engineered and executed by Sony could be one of the best viral film trailers of all time. The stunt captured the reactions of unsuspecting customers at a New York City coffee shop as they witnessed a “telekinetic event.” “Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise” […]
In 2010, South African band, THIEVE released their track ‘Way To Go’. A video posted to YouTube compares the THIEVE track to a recently-released Will.I.Am track, featuring Justin Bieber. The description reads: “The two songs have the same melody and lyrics, except the one was made before the other.”
Welcome to episode 7 of the Tumba Ping Pong Show, in which a blond woman catches flying knives with ping pong bats, and has a pineapple perched on top of her head cut in half by a third flying knife. And, oh yes, she catches a ping pong ball with her mouth. Just enjoy that. […]

Yesterday afternoon, Belgian firemen protested against national budget cuts for the fire department in Brussels. Firemen from all the country gathered in front of Prime Minister’s office with fire trucks and blocked traffic in Brussels’ ring road, burning tyres (yissie!) in the streets and sprayed water and foam towards police guarding the protest. At some point police officers stood knee-deep in foam on the street.
It was a distressing weekend for motorsport, with 8 people dying as a monster truck went out of control in Mexico, and this – a horrific crash in Houston, USA – during an IndyCar series grand prix.
Earlier this month we featured Tyson, an English Bulldog from Johannesburg who was kicking significant portions of ass on the internet via his Bulldogs Be Fancy Tumblog. Tyson’s star has continued its rise, with the costume-keen hound appearing in an ever-burgeoning raft of local ads. Here’s his latest appearance, for an Mnet campaign.
Alfonso Cuarón’s highly anticipated film, ‘Gravity’ will made landfall in the US last week, and it looks fairly stunning. The movie follows the events of a simple routine mission on the International Space Station (ISS) gone wrong. Inspired by The Kessler Syndrome, a theory that predicts a giant domino effect could occur if space debris in low orbit started colliding, we follow Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) as they battle to get back home to Earth.

Say hello to WildCat, the quadrupedal Cheetah robot created by the collective brains at Boston Dynamics. See WildCat run. Imagine WildCat running after you. The robot can reach speeds of close to 26km/hr, which is without a doubt faster than I can run on a Monday morning.
