Learning To Love Banksy

GOD, we've heard so much about Banksy this week. Yes, you know he's the supersecret anonymous world-famous street artist whose identity may have been revealed at last. But some people do not understand why this is the biggest art story of our generation. At least if you love democracy, freedom, and hilarity! Come along then, as we take a brief whirl through the world of Banksy: An artist that does not suck. With two dozen pictures, yo! More »

Glory Of The Games: 25 Olympic Hotties

Everyone's nervous about the Olympics this year. The Chinese government's politicization of the ceremonies reminded sponsors and spectators alike of its human rights record, particularly in Tibet. Broadcasters are pushing back against restrictions on TV reporting. Athletes are concerned about air quality. In short, the Olympics are the same politicized mess they've always been, and more commercial than ever. How to keep everyone focused on the athletic action? Easy, just keep the cameras pointed at the lithe young hardbodies that flock to this competition every four years. And if that seems like a lecherous degradation of a noble event, remember this: the Olympians themselves are notoriously bad at keeping their hands off one another once they get eliminated from competition. Remind yourself by browsing this photo gallery of hot Olympic athletes past and present, curated by intern Nicola Gherson. More »

Mary-Kate Olsen Party Candids

Once again, some noble crusader has invaded Photobucket and dug up some scurrilous photos of young celebrities at play. In today's batch, one of the Olsen twins (we suspect Mary-Kate) is partying with some friends, most of whom are dressed in flannel, including famous rich person's daughter Nicole Richie and her man friend, rocker Joel Madden. The kids are pictured in some sort of wood-paneled mansion, playing with a piñata and smoking cigarettes. It's unclear when these were taken or whose birthday (it's a birthday, right?) they were celebrating, but Nicole Richie seems to be making a point of showing that she's not drinking in one of the photos. So perhaps it was while she was pregnant. Do your own sleuthing around the big brown mansion in a photo gallery, after the jump. More »

The Ten Best Craigslist Cash-Waver Remixes

The Craigslist Cash-Waver is a certified internet star. When we posted the original photos from his Craigslist personal ad (showing him with a fan of $20 bills to impress the girls), and then his angry voicemail demanding that we take them down or else, little did we know how big he would become. His photos spawned an entire genre of visual remixes, which elevated the cash-waving theme to fantastic new heights. Some of the reaction was stupid, and some was even racist. But some was pure, hilarious magic. After the jump, a photo gallery of the ten most inspired Cash-Waving Craigslist Player Photoshop jobs—a testament to the scary power of smart, mean, bored people on the internet. We fear you all.

"Framing a Century: Master Photographers, 1840 - 1940"

“'Framing a Century: Master Photographers, 1840-1940,' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, manages to operate in the gap between both kinds of miracles, innovative and talismanic. It presents the history of a medium as well as history itself. This exhibition appropriates a model usually reserved for painters, old or modern masters. Organized by Malcolm Daniels, the curator in charge of the Met’s photography department, “Framing a Century” recounts the medium’s 100 years with a succinct cavalcade of big names, substantial bodies of work and significant historical impact."

Crazy Pink Bubble Gum Art

"Italian artist Maurizio Savini creates amazing sculptures from regular pink chewing gum. The synthetic fleshliness of the pink color, the obsessive square shape of the product unwrapped and ready to be shred to pieces by the power of the tongue, all compete in crashing on the senses." More of his sense-crashing work after the jump. More »

Gossip Girl Stars Are Just Like Us

Ohhh dear. Some nefarious genius has stumbled upon the Photobucket page of Ed Westwick, also known as Charles "Chuckles" Bass from the Ken Burns documentary series Gossip Girl (kidding, it's just a silly soap about rich Manhattan teens). Or is it the work of Chace "Nate" Crawford, another actor on the show? Or of some anonymous, obsessive third party? There are lots of personal photos of Ed, Chace, and various friends posing drunkenly and cockily, as the young ones are wont to do. Look, there are Chace and Ed looking sexy and intimate, as they should always look! And there's Ed in bed with an anonymous lady friend! And there, of course, they all are, clearly drunk as monks. Though they may play Upper East Side rich brats on TV, they are in fact just like us. Drunken idiots who pose for silly photos. We've selected the best and put them in a handy photo album for you. Won't you help us caption them? More »

The Sex and the City Movie Premiere: Fabulous, Fashionable, Fatiguing

Most everyone looks a little tired and a lot older than when the show left the air four years ago, but all managed to teeter down the runway and pose for pretty pretty pictures. Like the one of Sarah Jessica Parker, above! Or the twelve waiting for you after the jump. More »
