Lindsay Lohan has her shit together, says judge

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Lindsay Lohan is on the straight and narrow, according to the judge presiding over her probation case stemming from last year's misdemeanor charges. Nothing like seeing a veritable booze tornado defy all odds and become a lesbian. *sniff* She was one of the greats. E! Online reports:
A Los Angeles judge agreed with the 22-year-old starlet's attorney today when he determined that Lohan had "proper attendance" and "no missed dates" regarding the various obligations she has been required to attend as part of her probation from 2007's twin-DUI debacle.
All I have to say is, they don't make overprivileged child stars like they used to anymore. Britney's cleaned herself up and now Lindsay. Christ, next you're going to tell me Paris Hilton has stop killing homeless men with her death vagina. I've traveled into a parallel universe, haven't I? I knew it. I bet I can fly in this one. Whee! UPDATE: So I don't have the power of flight. What I do have is the ability to bounce off the roof of a Prius into a bus. On that note, I'll be typing with my tongue from here on outpbpt. Damfit.

Coca-Cola “Unity”

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

W+K Portland tapped the prodigious powers of Smith&Foulkes (Nexus Productions) for this lively Coke spot starring Yao Ming and LeBron James. It’s a battle royale of East versus West, with each player bringing an army of cultural icons to his aid.

As with most of S&F’s work, the beauty is in the details, and this one deserves some frame-by-frame attention. From the baroque symmetry of the compositions to the architectural elements in the background, no pixel was left untouched.

Oh, and I love the confetti transition to live action at the end. It’s simple, seamless and effective.

Imitation Is Flattery

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

This month Vogue looks among its own staffers for editorial inspiration with the divine Karen Elson portraying Vogue’s own flame haired mainstay, Grace Coddington. The witty Steven Meisel images wink at Coddington’s love of cats (she and her partner, hairstylist Didier Malige have 5) and put Karen’s chameleon ability to the test.

Heidi Montag has lunch with John McCain’s daughter

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

And it's time to expatriate. Apparently, Heidi Montag is a political force worthy of entertaining lunch with John McCain's daughter Meghan. The two met yesterday at the Ivy where Meghan tried her best to wish herself into her cell phone. I'm pretty sure, when her father loses in November, his campaign manager will point to these photos and say: "There. Right there. When Jugs Chinsterton smiles directly into the camera. That's the moment we were fucked. Well, that and the fact that, dude, you are old. Tell me a story about living with dinosaurs."

‘Rampage’ Jackson attempts hit & run while driving truck with his face on it (FAIL)

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
0716_rampage_jackson_arrest_00.jpg Former UFC champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson was arrested yesterday after hitting a whole bunch of cars while attempting to elude police in Costa Mesa, Calif. In case you missed the headline, Rampage was driving a massive camoflauged Ford F-250 that kind of sort of had his face plastered on both driver AND passenger-side doors. I guess he was trying to compete with the Joker's smile mobile; I have no fucking clue. SI.com reports:
A Costa Mesa patrol officer attempted to pull Jackson over after he was seen weaving in and out of traffic with a flat front left tire, according to a release issued by the Costa Mesa Police Department. Jackson, 30, continued driving to avoid being stopped. Losing control of the truck, Jackson drove up onto a sidewalk. He continued on, colliding with a vehicle in an intersection and running several red lights.
Eventually, the truck came to a stop and Jackson, originally of Memphis, Tenn., was arrested without incident at gunpoint.
I'm going to assume that, somewhere after he hopped a curb then ran a couple of red lights, the following thought went through Rampage Jackson's head: "And my face is on the car isn't it? Super duper. Should've gone with Mr. T punching a tiger, Rampage. Oh, wow, that's a gun."
