David Carradine Death Photo Rules Out Suicide
A Bangkok tabloid ran a photo of David Carradine's hanging body that was leaked to them in this morning's edition. The rather disturbing photo definitely shows the actor's hands tied above his head. There's something eerily off, here. More »

Does the Obama Cutout Have White Hands?

The Sarah Connor Chronicles Survive... For Now
Too few sci-fi nerds are doing their duty and watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Its ratings have stunk this season and if they don't get better it could be canceled. Fortunately, according to this guy, it's still very popular with advertisers, so Fox has just ordered another season. And everyone better start watching it or poor Summer Glau will be out of a job again, just like when the bastards canceled Firefly. As a reminder of how important it is that Glau remain on television, here are a bunch of pics of her being hot. More »

New Bond Film Pays Homage to Classic Goldfinger Kill
For the upcoming 007 flick Quantum of Solace, director Marc Forster wanted to come up with a visual comparable to Shirley Eaton painted gold from head to toe in her famous Goldfinger 1964 death scene. Solution? Goo. Well, a Bond girl drowned in crude oil and her body draped across a white bed. Dick Cheney is the ultimate villain! More pics after the jump. Semi-spoiler alert: If knowing which Bond girl gets it will ruin this movie for you, don't click through. But since the filmmakers themselves are releasing these shots, it's probably not a big deal.

The Unsung Heroes of Star Wars
It takes a lot of people—and assorted creatures—to stage an epic war between the forces of good and evil that spans an entire galaxy. Sadly, most of the minor players are long forgotten thanks to scene stealers like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader. But these obscure warriors are being properly celebrated today.

Shutterfly lets its users photos out, almost
Shutterfly, the photo-sharing website for those who want to share their vacation photos on a T-shirt, is launching a feature today called Share Sites. Now users can display their photos in a gallery that looks like the rest of the Web. But they still cannot do what rivals have allowed for some time — to actually get their photos on a MySpace profile. Why not? More »

"Poster Boy": Artist, Vandal, Maker Of Funny Things
The New York subway poster art vandal, despite receiving widespread acclaim from the cognoscenti who determine who's hot these days, continues to work just as hard as when he was not yet being compared to Banksy (who, let's face it, is totally over now that we know who he is, maybe). He's retained his "ironic sloganeering" theme, and is moving strongly into "messing with faces," as well. Here are five of the anonymous subway vandal's latest ad remixes; steal them immediately, as investments: More » -

Everybody Hates A-Rod
"Fans had a field day with Alex Rodriguez Friday night in Toronto, taunting the New York Yankees third baseman with pictures of Madonna.

Drunk Driving Accident in Mexico
Here's a photo that is circulating like crazy around various websites, Tumblr blogs, etc. It's so incredible that we initially assumed it had to be a fake.

OK, Fine: Gossip Girl Boys May Actually Like Girls
I may have implied earlier today, in our fun photo gallery, (and on many other occasions) that some of the male stars of TV's bitchy uptown soap Gossip Girl like to touch other boys' privates. Yeah, I like to joke/desperately hope that they're gay. But mounting photo evidence seems to suggest otherwise. Ed Westwick likes to smooch women in bed, Connor Paolo (who plays resident gay Erik van der Woodsen on the show) is a red-blooded seventeen-year-old (yikes!) breeder who likes to grind up ons young ladies (thanks for the photo, tipster), and Chace Crawford (the gayyyyyest one) likes to rub his face all over girls at bars. So, sigh, there you have it. Or! Maybe these guys just have very talented publicists! Click thru for larger image, plus another uncomfortable image from our previously mentioned tipster. More »

Update: Britney Spears Is Not Pregnant, Thank You Very Much!
Despite looking slightly, vaguely puffy in some recent photos, Britney Spears is not expecting a third kid. "U.S. pop singer Britney Spears says she is not pregnant for a third time despite recent photographs showing her with a bloated stomach. The 'Toxic' singer says a new medication she is taking was responsible for her recent weight gain and not a third pregnancy, the Daily Mail reported Saturday. 'I am not pregnant — it is just my medication that makes me bloated,' Spears said of recent pregnancy rumors. A source close to the 'Baby One More Time' star told the British newspaper Spears has struggled with her weight since the birth of her 20-month-old son Jayden James. Meanwhile, a friend of Spears said she is spending some time with actor Mel Gibson and his wife in Central America to help her gain some perspective in her life." More »

Julia Allison Is Stalking My Family
I received this disturbing photo in an unsolicited email from perpetual Gawker frenemy Julia Allison, whom I have never met. "Recognize this woman?" it read. Why yes I do, because THAT IS MY AUNT standing next to Julia Allison. Apparently they met at some college alumni event. I'm reminded of the scene in every gangster movie where the enforcer goes up to the family and says menacingly, "Pretty little girl you got there. She goes to Longwood Elementary every morning at 7:30." Aunt Carol: If this happens again, just back away slowly and notify campus security.

Exclusive: Jalopnik Lifts KITT's Hood
Ray and I got to live out a major childhood fantasy of ours earlier today when KITT swung by Brooklyn and offered to take us for a ride. KITT's found new life not as an F-body, but as a Ford Mustang GT500KR. Well, a more accurate description would be a Mustang GT with an automatic transmission — the cast can't drive stick — a supercharger and GT500KR bodywork. They do say, "Never meet your childhood heroes, you'll be disappointed." In this case, they're only partially right. [Jalopnik] -

No Picket Line To Cross At Ed Sullivan Theater
Happy return of the Late Night talk shows day! Tonight, our long national vaguely annoying situation preceding the nightmares is over. Letterman, Conan, Leno, and the Scottish guy are all taping new episodes for air tonight. Above, Richard Blakeley photographed Letterman's Ed Sullivan theater, quietly free of picketing scribes—because Letterman's production company negotiated a deal with the WGA, meaning he gets staff-penned material and writer-sympathetic guests. Like Robin Williams tonight! Leno has former fatty and scary/affable GOP prez contender Mike Huckabee. If anyone spots any picket-crossing or writerly unrest outside the Conan studios, or anywhere else, let us know. Related: Dave Dumps Trump For Robin; Jay Says "Huck You!"

The Out 100 Party
Out magazine's annual Out 100 gala is like the Oscars of gayness: Redundant, sparkly, long. Though the bouncers and PR girls lurking in every doorway of Cipriani's Wall Street desired to keep us out, the gays' desire to have their pictures taken was stronger—and so we infiltrated every level of the elitist gay caste system. We began at the tail of the red carpet next to Queerty reporters, the pasta buffet, the people who ate from the pasta buffet and ended with our hair blowing in the wind of Chaka Kahn's stage exit. She was swift enough to avoid gay mauling. Single Straight Female guest reporter Amy Odell and shutterbug Nikola Tamindzic captured her and those who weren't as lucky. He's got even more here.

You Know What? Lou Reed Is A Jerk
Last night was the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave gala in... Manhattan. Yeah, no. we know. But I guess there aren't any spaces in Brooklyn that are nice. So instead, it was at 7 World Trade Center on some really high floor. Below, Ground Zero looked like a little deserted Erector Set. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Saarsgard were supposed to be there. But they had some other benefit to attend. John Turturro was supposed to be there too but wasn't. You know who was? Lou Reed. And you want to know something else? Turns out he's not a nice guy! Nikola Tamindzic was our witness.

Bloody Nipples, Offensive Stereotypes And Sexy Everything
Last night on the streets of New York, gallons of fake blood were spilled; thousands of wigs donned and millions of particles of glitter fell from slutty angels, slutty nurses, slutty penguins, slutty blackface, slutty David Bowies, and slutty sluts.

'Paper' Magazine's Nightlife Awards
"I hate Samantha Ronson, that fucking dyke!" Perez Hilton said on stage last night. He was hosting Paper magazine's third annual Nightlife Awards. Someone (either Paper's Mickey Boardman or Village Voice gossip Michael Musto) had asked him what was going on with all his lawsuits; Samantha is suing him for defamation. It's good to know that his level of wit, sophistication and creativity is sort of lacking all across the board, and not just in his writing or Microsoft Paint drawings. To his credit, he's probably the only person in the world who actually looks thinner on T.V. than in real life! Nominee for "Best Nightlife Photographer" Nikola Tamindzic was there to capture all the bitchy gaiety of the evening.

'L' Magazine's Nightlife Awards
It was as if a giant powder puff had descended from heaven and enveloped Lotus in a white glittery cloud of cocaine and sparkles. Frantic energy and cake makeup touched nearly everyone at last night's L magazine Nightlife Awards. Among the crowd, gender was a choice freely made. And sexuality was externalized in a way both alluring and confusing. Jeans, when they were worn, were tighter than a pair of control top pantyhose. Soon enough, a woman would withdraw a hardboiled egg from her vagina. Nikola Tamindzic, who won their award best nightlife photographer, was unfortunately there to capture what ensued. An extended gallery can be found here. More »

Hooters Is Filled With Fried Sadness
Walking into Hooters on 56th Street is like stepping into a magical drive-through carwash where the water has been replaced by fried food and the surly attendants by big-breasted women wearing orange leggings. It's not an experience that leaves one feeling clean in anyway. We headed up there yesterday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the restaurant and the unveiling of the 2008 calendar but mostly because we'd never been. Fat white men with cameras surrounded the women. Our photographer Nikola Tamindzic, who's on Atkins but doesn't need to be, was there to cast his male gaze as well.
