Craig Ferguson - July 29, 2013 - Courtney Love, full interview

As soon as I saw that Courtney Love would be a guest on The Late Late Show I knew Craig Ferguson would have a field day. But I had no clue things would take the turn they did. The interview was destined for greatness as soon as Ferguson remarked that Love looked “respectable” (the crowd “ooh’d” in response). While I figured the whole thing would just be Ferguson poking gentle fun at Love, I didn’t expect them to talk about the time she tried to sleep with him, only to have him brush off her advances. “Maybe it was something in my breath, you were like, ‘No, it’s too much trouble,’” Love recalled. To which a laughing Ferguson responded, “Um, yeah.” Last night marked one of the few times I can remember Ferguson seeming mildly uncomfortable in an interview. Courtney Love will do that to ya. Enjoy.

Most of us have a pretty universal understanding of beauty, but there are those who go way off the grid. Body modification has been around for centuries in tribal areas, but lately it's been on the rise in the western culture! These people go through great lengths to stand out, be happy, feel secure/sexy/accepted (in their own circles) and what ever other reasons there are. I say they just all need a nice, long, sincere hug. Check out the most common and shocking body modifications out there.

Houston Beer Can House! (3 photo)

A retired South Pacific Railroad upholsterer John Milkovisch started a project of "beerifying" his house in 1968. It took him 18 years to cover his Houston home in an estimated 50,000 beer cans. Hundreds of beer top garlands hang from the roof, the exterior of the house is covered with flattened can siding, and front and back yards are decorated with pull tabs and other can pieces. After Milkovisch's passing in the 1980s the house was given to and is now run as a museum by the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art.

YouTube pranksters known as 'Whatever' created a little social experiment to test gender stereotypes. A man and a woman, both young and attractive went around asking random people on the streets of Santa Barbara, California to have sex with them. "We weren't actually trying to get laid, so we were hoping to accomplish an interesting/entertaining video," Whatever said to the Daily News. How would you react if a sexy stranger came up to you with this question? The girl asked 14 college aged men and got a 50% success rate, while the guy who asked 100 college aged females got rejected 100% of the time. Why am I not surprises? Nobody actually had sex with anybody, but the videos went viral on YouTube and everyone got a good laugh out of the show.

Meet Rampage Jackson: Street Warrior, Lion Forge Comics’ upcoming one-shot about Jackson becoming an “anti-hero” when he gets special powers and “kicks evil’s ass.” Remember the movie Meteor Man? It’s just like that, only Robert Townsend becomes the Wolfman. Yeah, I don’t know. The plan is to release a stand-alone comic, then parlay that into an ongoing series. Hopefully they put a lot of time between the one-shot and the series, because I’m pretty sure the people who draw it have no idea who Rampage is or what he does for a living.

HOT NEWS! Ben & Jerry's Sued A Porn Studio Over Trademark Infringement (5 photo)

As a testament to just how deep the well of porn parody goes, the folks at Ben & Jerry’s recently had to file a lawsuit against North Hollywood adult film company Caballero Video because of a new series of adult films with names based on the iconic ice cream company’s flavors. The brass at Caballero, AKA Rodax Distributors Inc., agreed to a settlement with Ben & Jerry’s and agreed to not release any films under the previously planned and admittedly delicious “Ben & Cherry’s” titles. According to the Chicago Tribune, this was all about protecting the brand name and stopping someone from besmirching a wholesome company’s fine image. Ben & Jerry’s had said that Caballero didn’t have permission to reference Ben & Jerry’s or its trademarked ice cream flavors, which have names that the filmmakers evidently found to be a creative goldmine. Ben & Jerry’s flavor names include “Banana Split,” “Cherry Garcia” and “Everything But the…” — all of which became fodder for X-rated fare in Caballero’s hands. Caballero also used packaging that resembled Ben & Jerry’s well-known clouds and cows imagery.

Larry David's Jimmy Kimmel Visit Was Just One Big Stand Up Act (4 video)

Which is a very good thing. Larry David doesn’t make many late night talk show appearances — for all the obvious reasons — but last night he dropped by Jimmy Kimmel Live for an extra long visit to both make up for cancelling on Jimmy previously and to promote his mysterious Clear History HBO movie where he looks unrecognizable. We’ll get to that a couple videos down though, because Larry was in no rush. As you’ll see in the first clip above he starts bagging on Jimmy’s obnoxious sliding reveal door right from the beginning, and from there segues into how great cancellations are, and the whole thing just turns into one big casual standup session where Kimmel plays set-up man. Which is tremendous because no one wants to hear Larry David talk about how great it was working with so and so, they want him to talk about how he hopes a script doesn’t have night scenes so he won’t have to work in the evening.

Celebrate The Flash's New TV Series With GIFs (20 photo)

Veggie

31 jul 2013 14:00

Remember when they made a TV show of The Flash? They're trying again, thanks to the success of Arrow. So we're celebrating with a few GIFs. The new series will, oddly, be tied to Arrow; we'll meet Barry Allen sometime next season and he'll be getting his spinoff late in 2014. It's been noted that TV makes sense for DC to bring characters to the screen, not least because it's cheaper to make a failed pilot than it is to make something like Green Lantern, which barely made more than its budget. Also, Arrow was one of the few freshman shows to actually survive the 2012 season and one of the few hits the CW has, so essentially, the CW would approve Ambush Bug at this point. It also raises a few questions since apparently there are hints Warner Brothers plans to bring Ollie and the Flash to film in the future. So does that mean Man of Steel happened in the Arrow universe? Does this mean all the in-jokes the show has been dropping, and there are a hell of a lot of them just in the first season, will actually have more relevance? These are questions only Warner Bros. can answer, of course, and it's possible even they might not know. But hey, more Flash! Let's celebrate with GIFs!

That’s not to say that the alien/supernatural horror film, written and directed by Joe Begos, doesn’t look fun as hell. The story focuses on a guy named Mark who “disappeared from his home in a brilliant flash of light” and returns to his old stomping grounds to blast people to bits and pieces with his shotgun and occasionally an ax. It’s my frontrunner for the feel-good movie of 2013.

Fox News Pats Itself On The Back For Its Infamous Reza Aslan Interview (1 photo + 1 video)

Days have passed since Fox News aired arguably the single most stupid interview the “fair and balanced” cable news network has ever run without bothering to acknowledge that it ever happened. As you’ve probably heard by now, Fox weekend host Lauren Green asked scholar Reza Aslan, the author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, “You’re a Muslim, so why did you write a book about the founder of Christianity?” But today the network finally acknowledged it, in typical Fox News fashion no less: they played the “the liberal media is out to get us” card by trotting out conservative media critic Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center, who accused Aslan of not being “a very good Muslim” — for writing a book about Jesus, you see — and called Aslan’s book a “very very biased and very very one-sided book. “It was the exact correct question that needed to be asked,” Bozell said. “She had every right to ask him, ‘Do you have a bias? Are you being influenced by your faith to write what you’re writing?’ He should have said, first and foremost, said, ‘Yes I am.’ To deny it shows the aloof arrogance of ‘How dare she even ask that question?’” I would bet good money Brent Bozell hasn’t even read Aslan’s book.

"We have a big battle that the wonderful Neil Marshall that did the Battle of Blackwater back to direct, that's very exciting for me. We have another Royal Wedding, this one is not red; this one is a different color. We have the introduction of some great new characters. We finally introduce one of the most popular characters from the books: Prince Oberon Martell. The Red Viper of Dorne will be introduced for the first time and there will be some other new characters that I think the fans will like. The Wildlings are continuing to move toward the wall. We'll see many of the characters, we'll see what happens to Tyrion and Cersei and Jaime and all of the remaining Starks, the few that are left and hopefully it will be another great season."

Tashkent-based Uzbek artist Eldar Zakirov digitally painted portraits of cats for Hermitage Magazine as though they are refined gentlemen in royal attire. Styling his whimsical renditions like classic oil paintings, there is an unbelievably realistic quality to them that makes the viewer question whether they're actually looking at accurate depictions of cats dressed in formal uniforms. Cats have always had an air of regality about them and now Zakirov's digital paintings heighten that sense of elitism and prestige. Fitfully clothed in what appear to be fine fabrics, intricately patterned and designed with embellishments, each of these whiskered figures exude an imposing (though also amusing) confidence. They represent a feline court where even the "waiter cat" is in a three-piece tuxedo.

Artist Redesigns Portraits of Masculine Figures in Pink (9 photo)

Helen

31 jul 2013 12:46

The Pinks is a series of portraits by painter Scott Scheidly that transforms male political and pop culture figures using a pink color palette. Iconic, masculine characters like Blondie (played by Clint Eastwood) in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly are given a redesign to reflect the power that the color pink has over public perception and one's perceived identity. Pink, a color often associated with docile femininity, is regarded as an emasculating hue. Some have argued that the alteration in the color of these typically masculine figures alludes to a re-examination of sexuality, though the artist's intention is more so about evaluating the rosy pigment itself. He says, "[P]retty much every time I see a write up on the series it refers to it as 'gay'. However in a nutshell it’s how color and symbology can change perception."
