Jenny and Johnny

Jenny Lewis (just love her) and her boyfriend Johnathan Rice have teamed up and are planning a little tour. They have a website, and I'm just sure I'm going to like whatever it is she is doing. via.

oh hey

did you know that rachel zoe's assistant brad goreski is a beefcake? terry richardson found out.

what is gabe doing this weekend?

getting a testicle amputated.



Sack tapping is not some faceless virtual scourge. It is a human tragedy. Take the eye-watering tale of 14 year-old David Gibbons of Crosby, Minn. He had to have his right testicle removed after being punched, but the worst part is probably the fact that he had to go on the local news and talk about his missing ball while sitting between his parents on a couch.

oil spill FAIL

according to the internet, BP's about to admit that they're never going to be able to stop the oil spill, and we should all just start getting used to it.

f you, bieber!

Justin Bieber has reached the inevitable "diva" phase of his career. A radio host in Australia said Bieber was "a thoroughly nice bloke" until "our floor manager was directing him to where he was about to perform and [Bieber] turned aroud and said to him, 'Don't ever fucking touch me again'." The Aussies were shocked until a member of Bieber's crew informed them, "he tells us that all the time." The radio host says he thought to himself, "Maybe someone needs to drag you aside and give you a bit of a slap," so, um, maybe the freak-out was justified. Anyway, Biebs says it's all lies. (via)

ronaldo :: underwear :: pissed

cristiano ronaldo from real madrid and some other soccer players took some sessy pictures for annie leibovitz and vanity fair. on the cover, they combined a sessy underwear picture of ronaldo with a less sessy underwear picture of didier drogba, a rival player who plays for chelsea FC. as is standard practice, different pictures from different photoshoots were combined to create the final composite cover image, but ronaldo is pissed that he looks to be standing in his undies next to his enemy. quit your bitching ronaldo.

super bowl 2014

did y'all know that the new york jets and the new york giants have teamed up in an effort to host the 2014 super bowl at our shiny new meadowlands stadium?

they're gonna announce it later today. the competish is tampa and south florida. is there even a difference? the super bowl was just in miami. booooooring. and isn't south florida where this year's ncaa national championship was? anyway, i don't even really care that much. just wanted to share.

i'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: it is really happening!

wal-marchitecture

this is the best article written about wal-mart that i have ever read. it doesn't stoop to demonizing, and seeks instead to suggest that wal-mart and the architectural designer both have much to learn from each other

more fun than the waterfalls

A British artist is putting 60 pianos in New York's parks and public spaces this summer - to be played by anyone passing by.

And even those who don't tickle the ivories can enjoy the installation: Musical luminaries like Alicia Keys may pound out a tune or two.

"I just imagine that there's going to be a lot of people ready to express themselves," said artist Luke Jerram, who has launched the "Play Me, I'm Yours" program in cities from London to Sao Paulo since 2008.

"The pianos act as a blank canvas for others' creativity."

Starting June 21, the uprights will be scattered all around the city, including Times Square, the Coney Island Boardwalk and quieter spots like Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park and the Bronx's Van Cortlandt Park.

other new york sports news

have you all heard the one about the rich rich rich self made russian billionaire who bought up the new jersey nets and is going to move them to that new arena in brooklyn once brett ratner can get it built? well, when mikhail prokhorov came to brooklyn on his press tour last week, he granted two one on one interviews. the first was with a veteran new york sports reporter, the second was with a brooklyn blogger who had just graduated from J School at Columbia. (hey macbreath do you know this guy?)

mr prokhorov, next time you come to brooklyn and want to grant an exlusive interview to a local sports enthusiast, i know just the one.

i would love to shoot a city pigeon for fun sport.

Earlier this month, in a letter to Pennsylvania lawmakers, the New York City Bar claims that many pigeons are captured and transported, without food or water, to middlemen in Pennsylvania. From there they are sold to shooting ranges for use in live trap shooting competitions where participants fire shotguns at live pigeons vaulted into the air. (via)

UPDATE: icing!

omg, joel just threatened to ice me nonstop while i'm in nashville, so i looked into what that meant.

"getting iced" or "icing bros":

from what i can tell, it's like a surprise drunk easter egg hunt game. if you can surprise (or "present")your friend (or bro) with a smirnoff ice in his (or her) face, they have to drink it right then and there.

upon further investigation, the presentation might not even have to be a surprise? you can just hand your bro an ice? this sounds silly and amatuerish, so i'm going to play only by 'surprise rules'. hey! i don't make the rules, ok?

the "ice block": a tWiSt!

 so i guess just keep an ice on you at all times?

ok, so maybe this is a ridiculous marketing strategy, but smirnoff ice is so disgusting and stomach-ache-inducing, that i'm going to choose to participate. additionally, it is further legitimized by its presence on this week's approval matrix, which i read this morning. i had no idea it would become a part of my life so soon! kIsMeT!!

click here for a website full of bros icing bros. hopefully, there will be several related 2Pz posts to come.

troublesome

Staff at the safari park were baffled by the mystery of the disappearing whirlpool bath.
Every morning they filled the open-air bath outside one of the guest lodges, and every night it was empty - even though no leak could be found.
It was only when a guest heard a mighty slurping and went outside with a camera that the culprit was discovered in the shape of Troublesome the elephant.

RIP brittany murphy's husband.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The husband of Brittany Murphy was found dead at his Los Angeles home late Sunday, five months after the Hollywood actress died, police said.

The preliminary cause of the death of British screenwriter Simon Monjack is natural causes, police spokesman Sgt. Louie Lozano told The Associated Press.

''We concluded there no signs of foul play or any criminal activity involved,'' said Sgt. Alex Ortiz, another police spokesman. (via)

that's exactly what they said when she died...

omg did y'all see kelly bensimon totes lose it on RHofNY last week!?! well she told nymag her side of the story, which, as you might imagine, doesn't make any sense:

"The minute that I walk into the room, I create a frenetic energy — it's not kinetic, it's not, like, a forward motion, it's just like this stagnant frenetic energy. And let's be honest, it makes for awesome TV. I mean, haters are part of the ecosystem, and if they're not hating on you, you're not doing something right."

omg that's racist!

lupe fiasco thursday!!

the life aquatic

SAN FRANCISCO — A Navy seal — actually a sea lion — took less than a minute to find a fake mine under a pier near AT&T Park.

A dolphin quickly located a terrorist lurking in the black water before another sea lion, using a device carried in its mouth, cuffed the pretend saboteur's ankle so authorities could reel him in.

The specially trained Navy Marine Mammals, based in San Diego, stole the show in a day of anti-terrorism training exercises held at ports throughout California.

More than 3,000 local, state and federal responders are participating in the scenarios that began Tuesday as part of California's annual, two-day homeland security and disaster preparedness exercises started by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2004. (via)

here is what nph had to say : 'She came in for a work session, and I must say, Vanessa really impressed. She looks amazing, has great vocal chops, and seems really committed to honoring the somewhat iconic role of Mimi. I look forward to audiences seeing a dark, edgy, and very different side of Vanessa Hudgens this August.'
