I recently wrote an article on my BFF and how lame it is that she has moved away from Cape Town. Life is just too dull without her and we would like to have the sparkle back in our lives!

I went through some pictures on my trusted Blackberry and came across some errr pictures. Let’s just say, we  make the chicks in this video look like amateurs!

ha!

Ok maybe not quite as dirty as this but you would pretty much have to go wash your eyes our with bleach…

Though M-Net spokesperson Lani Lombard denied that Van’Dango’s jaw was broken, saying that the popular singer was only injured, there are serious doubts as to whether Van’Dango will be able to attend tonight’s Idols results show.

Makes you wanna shake your biscuit dont it??! So, if you see some crazy chick dancing behind her steering wheel it’s probably me…I apologise in advance for my actions especially if you’re a business professional and first impressions are your thing.

Try and Enjoy this…

Driving guitars, heart-pounding drums and growling lyrics tempered with some amazing melodies and a massive dose of stage presence make them one of the bands that appear on my “must see live” list before I (or any of them) are too old or too dead to do so.

Another thing I enjoy about them is their ability to take the complete mickey out of themselves in some of their music videos. Take “Low” where Jack Black and Dave Grohl get up to some night time shenanigans in a motel. Or “Learning to Fly” which features both of Tenacious D’s members accidentally spiking the coffee on board an airplane being flown by the Foo’s.

And their latest video for the track “Walk” off the Wasting Light album (an excellent listen). This one is a take on the great Michael Douglas movie, “Falling Down” and is definitely worth a watch.

Enjoy.

A big part of my upbringing was the transitional stage from kids books to adult books and like most kids from my era, Tintin was the oke that lead that transition. So with this in mind I have been waiting to see what quality the new Tintin 3D movie “The secret of the Unicorn” would be. Well I needn’t have worried. With Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson at the helm, this was always going to be a ripper. The best part of it is that the quality of animation is so good it looks like you’re IN the movie. Yep thats right, that was me in the big beard shouting blistering barnacles… only kidding.

Enjoy.

I was and to use an oft repeated term, I saw RED.

See being involved in a number of commercial businesses, I’ve had it in the back of my mind that Vodacoms outage last week was in fact something that can be ‘looked at’ using the new consumer protection act. Well I’ve just come across this article and it makes perfect sense to me. As a consumer, one who earns commission, I certainly lost out on that day and finally we may be able to do something about it.

Vodacom may be forced by the National Consumer Commission to refund its customers for losses suffered because of the operator’s network failure on Thursday, which left many clients unable to make and receive calls for most of the day.

If the commission, which administers the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), succeeds in sanctioning Vodacom, it will be the first case under the act.

It could set a precedent compelling other companies to improve service to customers. Section 54 of the act, which gives consumers the right to demand good-quality services, states that if a supplier fails to perform a service, the consumer may require the supplier to remedy any defect in the quality of the service performed or goods supplied, or to refund a reasonable portion of the price paid for the services performed and goods supplied.

Vodacom issued a full-page apology in yesterday’s newspapers, in which its CEO Pieter Uys said the cause of the outage was a multiple failure in the transmission network.

“We are conducting a thorough investigation to understand exactly what caused this failure and why the backup systems did not do their job,” he said.

But the national consumer commissioner, Mamodupi Mohlala, said yesterday an apology was “not good enough. Consumers are entitled to a refund as stated in the CPA. The network operators (including Vodacom) are aware of this clause, section 54(2) in the CPA.”

The night spot, which opened in January this year, is operating without liquor, entertainment and business licences.

The club, which is owned by business tycoon Kenny Kunene, is housed at the Cape Royale Hotel in Greenpoint.

It is believed the club is operating on the hotel’s licences.

Mayoral Committee Member for Safety and Security JP Smith said nightclub management will be issued with a notice.

“As for the business licence, when they get the first notice it will give them a warning and a minimal time to comply. Failing so, we will take them to court,” he said.

Smith said the SAPS Liquor Unit will also issue ZAR management with a final notice.

Oprah isn’t saying a word about. According to the Chicago Sun and the Hollywood Reporter, she denies that OJ told her he did it, but hinted that extracting that confession wouldn’t be that hard.“And I am going to make that happen people,” Oprah said, adding that it was “not that lofty” a goal.“I don’t just want the interview. I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson.”

Simpsonis  currently serving a nine year sentence for a robbery and kidnapping conviction in Las Vegas in 2008. He was famously acquitted of murdering his wife and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1995, even though the evidence seemed stacked against him.

The shoe and athletic apparel company said the terms are part of the lingo used by the skaters, snowboarders and participants in other extreme sports it’s trying to target with the shirts. But critics say the slogans endorse drug use.

Boston’s mayor has asked Nike to remove a display of the shirts. And an Oregon antidrug group condemned them in a letter sent to 1 500 people – including some at The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy – urging them to let Nike know they disapprove of the slogans.

“It’s gone past edgy,” said Tom Parker, spokesman for the Oregon Partnership. “Sure it is the language of skateboarders and surfers, but it’s also the language of addicts.”

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that one coming. I think whoever had this edgy idea might have been on something themselves! Maybe they were riding pipe?

The first question fired at her is: ‘Is it true you banned junk food, smiles, sunshine, candy and laughter from your Femme Fatale tour?’ to which she replies, ‘Yes’. She is then asked if she can confirm reports she is pregnant with Brad Pitt’s  lovechild.  Britney leans into the microphone, and says : ‘That’s false, it’s quintuplets’.

If it were me I’d rather have the cop in the video’s “lustchild”.

The mum-of-two, grows tiresome of the journalists and then launches into a rant of ‘F*** yous’ before turning to leave.

I Wanna Go is the third single from her platinum selling seventh studio album Femme Fatale.
