Here’s a little peep at the upcoming issue of erotic art glossy Jacques that leaked earlier this week. Moving on from Russ Meyer-esque smoking redheads, strippers and courtesans (all NSFW, duh) in the last issue (we liked it), Jacques brings you: sports! So far there’s only a bit of a teeny thrill for tennis racquetball squash ball-and-racket sport fetishists, but we’ll see how they manage to turn a sporty porn genre into classy eye candy this time.
According to this data, there were 5,581 stories generated about Bill Clinton’s heart problems on Google News compared to only 1,964 stories for Dick Cheney’s fifth heart attack. Is this more evidence of liberal media bias? Maybe, or everyone just knows how the former vice president’s story is gonna end and so there’s no real cliffhangers there. Clinton also killed him in Twitter activity, but like the Conan-Leno thing, there’s a demographic explanation for that.
The Utah Jazz played the Charlotte Bobcats last night, and surprisingly to some, they won. Carlos Boozer, the Jazz’s power forward, scored a mad decent 33 points, and a recently injured D-Will chalked up 12 assists. Golden pony boy, Kyle Korver, sunk four three-pointers in the final quarter, and Wesley Matthews hit one from 14 feet. Now, no offense to the general ANIMAL reader, I assume that no more than 30% of you have any idea what I am talking about, and are as lost as a black man in a synagogue (they can’t read maps!).

For Candie’s new marketing campaign, the cheapo-footwear brand hired big name photographers like Mark Seliger, Annie Leibovitz, and of course, Terry Richardson, to shoot Britney Spears. Watch as he meets her for the first time and the two exchange…handshakes. It’s really magical. Maybe he just feels more comfortable amongst subjects like this?
So, you know that 80-page Spencer Tunick thesis Lady Gaga wrote before she dropped out of Tisch? From the bit found here, it seems to be a pretty typical college essay of self-justifying musings sprinkled with regurgitated professor rants, but I guess it plows deeper than terrible cock euphemisms, so we all should be impressed now. Spencer Tunick is. Read more »
Yesterday, soon-to-be working again late night host, Conan O’Brien joined Twitter with a single tweet: “Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me.” Read more »
In honor of fashion season, Germany’s DHL, “the official logistics partner of Fashion Week worldwide,” introduces “the first fashion collection made of packaging materials.” Well, this is maybe the first official collection. However, in the last 20 years here in NYC, I’ve seen homeless women and men dressed in packaging materials, mostly “shoes,” but also “hats” and “ponchos” and various styles and lengths of “wraps.” Read more »
The police officer who shot and killed Travis, the woman-mauling chimp, is really depressed since the attack and he can’t even wear a red shirt anymore because it reminds him of blood, so he sings sad songs.
Normally I’m diametrically opposed to Bill O’Reilly’s rants, but in this case, we’re in agreement: “Sarah Palin needs to go to college.” I’d even settle for getting her to learn junior high civics and citizenship test questions. When she can, without the aid of her hand, name the three branches of government and a check and balance for each, she will have come a long way. |Huff Post|
It’s been almost nine years since the 9/11 attacks and four years since workers started dismantling the heavily damaged Deutsche Bank building, but good news. The companies who insured the building are nearing a deal with the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation that could potentially end a long standing dispute over how much they will be required pay out to cover the costs of demolition, and more importantly, eliminate another symbol of national disgrace at the WTC site. Progress baby! |NYT|
