“…and I said ‘Hang on a sec – let me just finish off these ecstatasies, my crack pipe and about 6 valiums first’”.
Can’t we just let Amy Winehouse go? Her career’s cruising down the old u-tube, she’s hardly an attractive specimen of the female species (I’d rather boff Sophia from the Golden Girls) and her [...]

Vampire Weekend at the Astoria 2
January 21st, 2008 · Comments
In the spirit of trying to catch a potential “next big thing” whilst they’re still relatively small-fry, we went to the grungy Astoria 2 on Saturday night to watch New York band Vampire Weekend. They opened for Arcade Fire in November, but we skipped them because they had a stupid name. Since then, there’s been [...]

Dr Phil in hot water
January 18th, 2008 · Comments
Yip. And those words are music to my ears. Oprah is the most recent passenger on the “Lynch Dr Phil” bandwagon following the fat know-it-all’s unsolicited Britney Spears intervention a few weeks ago.
Nice going, lardass. Maybe you should sit down with a full length (convex) mirror and give yourself shit for a few hours, [...]

Tom Cruise is own worst enemy
January 17th, 2008 · Comments
Yes, I know you’ve probably all seen this one already. Sadly, being 2 hours behind South Africa and being unable to post stuff from work often means that I’m slightly behind on exciting stuff as it breaks. That and I’m just a lazy c*nt in general. But this, like the Corey Delaney/Worthington story, is to [...]

Van Wilder down under
January 16th, 2008 · Comments
I can’t decide whether this guy’s totally awesome or yet another tragic reminder of how just how glorious Australia isn’t. Either way, you’ve got to admire his cojones.
Sydney – An Australian teenager who held a wild house party which ended with police calling in air support was on Wednesday arrested over the incident, which [...]

“Charlie Wilson’s War”
January 14th, 2008 · Comments
This is a nice one. Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (with a bit of Julia Roberts) star in this bio-pic about the titular Texan congressman who helped Afghanistan beat back the Commies during the eighties. When he wasn’t banging strippers or busting lines in the back seat of his limo, that is. Charlie Wilson’s [...]

Nicole and Xtina lay babies
January 13th, 2008 · Comments
So Nicole Ritchie and Christina Aguilera both gave birth to babies on Friday at LA’s celebrity-blessed Cedars-Sinai hospital. Or so the gossip-rags would have us believe. Christina’s people are now claiming that she hasn’t actually squatted anything out quite yet and that we should all just get grip. Nicole’s brand new little girl is [...]

Ridiculosity
January 12th, 2008 · Comments
Went out for dinner at the ridiculously busy dim sum restaurant Ping Pong in Waterloo last night and, as expected, we were required to wait for a table (the restaurant is one of those smart-ass operations that don’t take bookings). Mildly irritating, but understandable given how hectic everything was.
What really took the cake was [...]

Married couple discover they’re twins
January 12th, 2008 · Comments
We saw this headline at the station last night and almost pissed ourselves. Could you ask for a better story? It’s all so Star Wars…except this is real-life and they actually do it together. God, it makes the hairs on the back of my neck prick up.
A court annulled the British couple’s union after they [...]

Movie poster challenge
January 10th, 2008 · Comments
The rules: change one letter in the title of a movie poster. The results: HA HA!!
Check out the whole lot here – there’s 60-odd pages of them and quite a few of them are really bloody funny. Quality Friday reading.
My best is “Raving Private Ryan” on the first page – hysterical. I [...]
