Every Male Across America Has Already Watched This a Million Times

It's the Jimmy K Hottie Body Hump Club! Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Minka Kelly, Eva Longoria, Kelly Ripa, Jessica Alba, Emily Blunt, Sofia Vergara, and Lindsay Lohan team up with the adorable Jimmy Kimmel for this faux commercial advertising his "Humpilates" work out video. They, uh, hump stuff for exercise. NSFW.
Awesomest new words: "Fad diets and work out plans only lead to antisippointment and frustruation." -Scarlett
HILarious.

It's Smile Time

This is a dance group in Paris called "La Preuve," which means "The Proof" or just "Proof." It consists of two girls (woot!) and two guys. Yes, they really are moving that fast. And where the heck are they?! At the end the camera pans and they appear to be in some crowded royal hall or something. But these dancers are just about the best I've ever, ever seen. Ever.
Update: My mother pointed out they were in a church.

Finally this woman says what we're all thinking.

The Pence Amendment to strip Planned Parenthood of its funding (from Rep. Mike Pence, R-IN) has finally been shut down due to this get-the-f*#k-out speech by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA).  She really hits the nail on the head with her personal experience of loosing a child 17 weeks into her pregnancy. Enough is enough. In America, there should be planned parenthood and there should be the legal option of having an abortion under civil circumstances. Because, again, this is America. Let's try and preserve what rights we have left before the rest get all screwed up even more than they already are.

Mark Zuckerberg. The force is even stronger.

Why is The Zuck in the same room as President Obama you might ask? Well, they're on the west coast at a meeting for Technology Business Leaders. I'd pay big bucks to get a transcript of this conversation right here. Looks like Obama is saying "That sweet lambo in the back? Yeah, she's mine." And Zuck is saying "You only have a lambo? You need a Mac car, dude."

Gah there's more! It's like Zeus and his minions! They're sitting together! Alcohol! Gaaah!
Facebook pics?

This guy. This is the guy.

Jacob Lusk on American Idol. Shut up and listen.

Banksy is in LA for the Oscars ya'll!/Fun Fact #Cinco

For those of you who haven't seen Exit Through the Gift Shop, Banksy is the stunningly cool, infamous British graffiti artist who's identity has yet to be revealed. He can turn an average concrete wall into a questioning piece of work, usually with a startling political statement. He's even traveled to Iraq and done his fair share of explicit wall-covering, mainly choosing to depict a little girl floating with a bundle of balloons. Then again, sometimes he doesn't use concrete walls and takes average things like portables or a telephone booth, chops it, and welds it back together like this (look closely)

It's bleeding.
When he does hold art shows, they're small but hugely influential. For his 2006 show in LA called "Barely Legal", he painted a live elephant completely red with face paint and gold print so it matched the wallpaper to indicate "the elephant in the room" like so.
Well, the Oscars are almost here and ETTGS is up for Best Documentary. What if he wins? Will he go onstage with a face mask like he always does and have someone else talk for him? Anyway, he's in town (!!!) and this is the latest work he's done here on the West coast HOURS ago (he's like a non crime fighting Batman)

Yes, that is Charlie Brown with a cigarette and a gasoline.

And that is a jacked up Mickey and Mini Mouse with the slogan "Livin the Dream" (sorry kids who saw this).
Despite the defamation, how talented is this guy?! Very. Celebrities and other big names have paid heavily for a piece of work by the elusive artist, buying them straight off the walls at his art shows or somehow getting in contact with his agent and requesting he make them something. Exhibit A: Christina Aguilera bought an original that depicted Queen Victoria as a lesbian for about $30,000 (a car basically).
One of his most famous works is this one from Pulp Fiction with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in banana suits.

In April 2007, Banksy's record high buying price for "Space Girl & Bird" went for $567,000 dollars. The next month, he was crowned Art's Greatest Living Britain Award.
For more intricate pieces that need to be done quickly, Banksy designs his own stencils. Sometimes they take more than what the night will allow and must return the next day to complete a piece. In his book, Wall and Piece, he explains, "I use whatever it takes. Sometimes that just means drawing a mustache on a girl's face on some billboard, sometimes that means sweating for days over an intricate drawing. Efficiency is key."
The unveiling of his identity has been ongoing since 2004. His named is believed to be Robin Banks/or Robin Gunningham (unconfirmed), born July 28, 1973. Journalist Simon Hattenstone from Gaurdian Unlimited is one of the very few people to interview him face-to-face. Simon describes him as "a cross of Jimmy Nail and British rapper Mike Skinner." "A 28 year old male showed up wearing jeans a T-shirt with a silver tooth, silver chain, and one silver earring. In the interview, Banksy revealed his parents think he is a painter and a decorator. 
Spokesperson for the organization "Keep Britain Tidy", Diane Shakespeare, was quoted saying "We are concerned that Banky's street art glorifies what is essentially vandalism." However, there have been instances where public cleaners have left the drawings alone due to the general public's liking of them. The Pulp Fiction piece has since been painted over and replaced with this (below) because a fellow grafitti artist and friend of Banksy's was fatally hit by a train.

Not enough cool photos (Lord knows I'm not done)? Go to banksy.co.uk or Google Images to check out his complete works of art. They're all there, I promise.


Follow up: First guerilla picture of Banksy. Is this him? That sure looks like one of his doodles on the wall... But no mask?

Meanwhile in South Dakota...

  According to various reliable sources, a bill has just passed in South Dakota that has literally legalized the killing of an abortion provider. So a nurse at an abortion clinic? How is this okay? They're calling it "justifiable homicide." Now what? Are anti-abortion advocates going to charge South Dakota with muskets and arrows killing doctors at abortion clinics? Because according to South Dakota, that would be A-OK. "Dude, it's justifiable homicide." That's like a Christian killing an Atheist and getting away with it "because he was angry." Heaven forbid we don't pacify their needs. I'm pretty sure after hearing this, there are tons of nurses resigning from their positions in order to not die. 
This is not okay with me!
