Impressive Portrait Of Yao Ming Painted Using A Basketballd (3 photo + 1 video)

If you haven’t already guessed, we’re big fans of portrait art here on SBSG, but we have to admit it’s not every day you see artwork painted using merely a basketball! But that’s precisely the tool Malaysian artist Hong Yi used to create her portrayal of Chinese basketball player Yao Ming. Below is a time-lapse video of her bouncing the ball and bringing her creation to life using nothing more than red paint. Quite how she achieved such an impressive feat is still somewhat of a mystery, but then again that’s half the fun isn’t it? In her own words “I love to paint, but not with a paintbrush.”, she’s true to her word too. You can see the full range of her artistic experiments via redhongyi.com, there’s not a brush in sight.

Watch The Best "Come On Down" Entrance Ever On 'The Price Is Right' (1 photo + 1 video)

Quick math word problem here. What does ‘The Price Is Right’ plus zany college kids equal? Vanglorious behavior resulting in what may be the one of the more laughable entrances in the show’s history. These geniuses had the bright idea to crowd surf their friend all the way down to contestants’ row.

The International Trailer For 'The Counselor' Looks Awesome (1 photo + 1 video)

In case you were wondering, Ridley Scott’s and Cormac McCarthy’s The Counselor still looks pretty ridiculously amazing. I know, I was also starting to worry that maybe the first trailer and clips were just an illusion and that I imagined the whole thing, but fortunately the international trailer was released this morning and now I feel a hell of a lot better. Javier Bardem still looks like your dad strung out on ecstasy in a mid-life crisis, while Brad Pitt is pretty intimidating as a long-haired cowboy. And Cameron Diaz looks better than she has in quite some time, probably because she’s being mean and I just love it when girls pretend like they don’t like me. “Here, have all of the money in my wallet,” I’ll say as she puts a cigarette out on my face. Anyway, enjoy the new international trailer.

Shocking News: Jon 'Bones' Jones Wants To Be A Famous Actor (1 photo)

A few years ago, Strikeforce Women’s Middleweight Championship challenger Gina Carano figured out that she was pretty and people liked her, so she stopped getting punched in the face for a living and started doing MMA fight scenes in movies like Haywire. UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey’s is currently going through the same thing, starring alongside 40 60-year old men in The Expendables 3. One of the many conspiracy theories about Chris Weidman’s Middleweight Championship victory is that Anderson Silva threw the fight so he’d have more free time to make horrible-looking MMA movies. Hell, even Ken Shamrock was in Champions back in the day. MMA has proven to be a surprisingly-easy springboard into mainstream movie stardom, so it shouldn’t surprise you that UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon ‘Bones’ Jones suddenly wants to be an actor. Or that he wants to be like The Rock, who is in, like, 65 of the 67 movies released this year. “I’d like to model my acting career on Dwayne Johnson, the way he came out of [WWE] and started off tough guy roles and then moved over to doing ‘Tooth Fairy,’” the 24-year-old Jones told MMAjunkie.com during an appearance at the UFC’s “World Tour” in Los Angeles. “That’s when you really saw that he could act, and he’s the one I admire and respect a lot, so I know I’d love to model my acting career after (him).” Yes, we all really saw The Rock’s acting chops in Tooth Fairy, because being tough and wearing a tutu means “acting.” We saw Hulk Hogan’s acting ability in Mr. Nanny. But don’t think it’s all tough guy roles and then ballerina costumes for Bones. He’s going to ply his craft!

Watch Pearl Jam's 'Mind Your Manners' Video (1 photo + 1 video)

Pearl Jam‘s love-hate relationship with making music videos is beginning to lean back toward “love.” After winning Best Video of the Year at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards for the stupidly controversial “Jeremy,” Pearl Jam asserted that they were done with the medium. To quote bassist Jeff Ament, “I don’t want people to remember our songs as videos.” (That sentiment lasted until 1998, although to be fair, “Do the Evolution” was entirely animated.) In 2002, five live performances of songs from Riot Act were filmed and released as videos, and the same thing happened again for cuts from Pearl Jam and Backspacer. The video for “Mind Your Manners,” a single from the band’s forthcoming Lightning Bolt, isn’t as conceptually interesting as “Jeremy,” but there are visual nods to September 11th, so…that’s something? Also, a lot of lightning. Who doesn’t love a bolt of lightning?

*NSYNC Is Reuniting At MTV's VMAs On Sunday (1 photo + 1 video)

While all the adults are watching Breaking Bad this Sunday, the kids table will will be tuned into a very different program: The Newsroom. You know children, they can’t get enough dramatized hindsight and Sam Waterston. But once they’re done giggling at Alison Pill and her inability to act like a normal human being, because women, they’ll tune into the MTV Video Music Awards, for The Gaga, The Daft Punk, The Hippity Hop, and mostly, The *NSYNC. "Justin Timberlake and his former *NSYNC band members are set to reunite for a special performance on the VMAs Sunday night at the Barclays Center, sources tell Page Six. MTV announced that Timberlake, who topped the charts in the late ’90s with the band, will perform at the VMAs and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. But we’re told former bandmates J.C. Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick are scheduled to join him onstage for a reunion performance." --MTV news. It was nice of Manager Jerry to let Chris Kirkpatrick take a day off from his shift at Arby’s to attend the ceremony. He’ll just have to pull double sometime next week. Those toilets ain’t gonna un-clog themselves.

20 NSYNC Photos Justin Timberlake Wishes Would Go Away (21 photo)

Whether you were on Team Backstreet Boys or Team *NSYNC, there is one undeniable fact about the boy band craze of the 1990s: 98 Degrees were the best. *NSYNC was a close second, though, despite their infuriating name, which is why so many people are excited for their "reunion" appearance at the VMAs on Sunday. Justin Timberlake...and the rest are a reminder of better days, when you had to drive to the store and pay $20 for a CD. Wait. Those days were terrible. The hell were we thinking? Anyway, *NSYNC getting back together is surprising because I just assumed Timberlake wouldn't want to remind anyone of the photos below. The 1990s were a thing that happened. It was unfortunate for everyone, especially JT. But especially Joey Fatone.

Office Notes That Prove Having Co-Workers Sucks (21 photo)

Having to get up and go to work everyday is hard enough. Add in the shenanigans of a few bad apples in the office, and it’s enough to make someone so angry they have to write note!

Beard Magic (2 photo + 1 video)

Beards are awesome, in the old sense of the word. Like when you can hardly breath it is so awesome. Like when you might faint, fall over and land on the dog from the pure awesomeness. Minneapolis-based photographer Ben Garvin knows this and just released an absolutely fantastic and wacky stop-motion video called Magic Beard. He did the whole thing using the iPhone app Stop Motion Studio, and that’s all we’re going to tell you about it… take a safe seat and watch to the end!

Timur Bekmambetov's 'Squirrels' Trailer Looks Ridiculous (1 photo + 1 video)

I’m still pretty hesitant to believe that this is really and isn’t part of some grand viral marketing scheme for another film, but apparently director Timur Bekmambetov has been hard at work trying to produce the film Squirrels, which is about – you guessed it – squirrels. Except these aren’t just any squirrels, because just like Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds and James Nguyen’s Birdemic, Squirrels is the story of what happens when nature’s nut hoarders get fed up with humans and decide to fight back. A pre-production sales trailer for Squirrels hit the YouTubes over the weekend, and I assume that wherever Bekmambetov showed this clip, people just started throwing money and bank account numbers at him, because I can’t even count how many times I’ve thought, “If only someone had the balls to make a movie about a squirrel biting a little girl’s face off.”

Jonathan Banks Has Joined 'Community' Cast (2 photo)

TV hasn’t been the same since that one moment people on the Internet still get mad about when it’s spoiled, even though the episode aired nearly a year ago and really, if you don’t already know that Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad was a victim of Walter White’s full measures by now, you’re doing something…Oops. Anyway, I’ve missed Jonathan Banks’s dead-eyed scowl, so I’m eating this news up like a particularly hungry hippo. Jonathan Banks will appear in 11 episodes of Community‘s fifth season, EW has learned. Banks will tackle the role of Pat Nichols, an intense criminology professor with a mysterious background in military and police work. The Wiseguy alum makes his first appearance in the second episode of the season when Annie (Alison Brie) enrolls in his class. (Via) I have a note for anyone who’s not excited about Mike at Greendale.

X-Men Days of Future Past first Official Image (2 photo)

Today brings us the first official image (not including all the viral stuff and Comic-Con pictures) from Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, a title that’s little by little turning me into a Vietnamese spam bot every time I type it. Obviously, it’s a big deal for anyone who’s a fan of Earth tones. A movie that shows us what the characters looked like in the seventies! Can you imagine? Has this ever been done in a movie before? Maybe it will explain how Professor X went bald as a cueball. He’s like 30 in this and his hairline doesn’t even have power alleys. If a person can go bald that fast, I have something new to worry about. Also, didn’t Nicholas Hoult already turn blue in the last one? Don’t explain it, I want this to be a surprise. X-Men opens May 23, 2014, and the plot will include time travel, Bolivar Trask, Sentinels, and Peter Dinklage’s sweet porn ‘stache. No word on whether we’ll hear from some of the lesser-known mutants, like the guy who has super strength, but only when he’s standing in a puddle of his own pee, the guy who turns water into mustard, or Close Caption, whose special power is lip-reading.

Meet Harlow: The Incredibly Cool Weimaraner (and His Sidekick Sage) (9 photo)

As far as dogs go on Instagram, Harlow and Sage aren't quite as popular as Maddie the Coonhound, Muu the French Bulldog, or Norm the Pug. The dynamic duo, however, are starting to get noticed for their photos and videos that capture their priceless expressions or their hilarious outfits. Especially awesome is this mesmerizing video showing Weimaraner Harlow wearing a black hoodie and shades. Below are some of our favorite pictures of soon-to-be Instagram rock stars Harlow and Sage.

Angry Brands (10 photo)

Yakushev Grigory has a sense of humor a mile long and the clever wit to take one of our most beloved games, the Angry Birds, and have them take over brands from around the world. Yakushev Grigory recreates the logos of these companies portraying them as new forms of Angry Birds, the Angry Brands. The Angry Brands are ready to do battle with the evil competitors that are attempting to rip away their market share. Can you aid these Angry Brands in their mission to monopolize their markets and become the dominant forces of industry? The parodies of Yakushev Grigory will put a smile on your face. These images are finding their way on to posters, t-shirts, and other media as the world embraces Yakushev Grigory’s notion of the Angry Brands vying for dominance.

Meet The First Punk Band, Los Siacos (1 photo + 1 video)

Before the Clash, before the Ramones, before the Sex Pistols, before the Stooges, even before Operation Ivy (I KNOW, RIGHT?) there was Los Siacos, a four-piece garage rock band from Lima, Peru, that’s often considered to be the first “punk” band. Unfortunately, their loud legacy has mostly been lost to history (that, and their never releasing an official album doesn’t help, either), but Noisey’s hoping to fix that with a new online documentary saluting the undeniable influence of Erwin Flores, Rolando Carpio, César “Papi” Castrillón, and Pancho Guevara. It begins with lead singer Flores ranting, “Punk rock music is a piece of sh*t. It’s music made by musicians who have no idea what they are doing. Musicians play whatever they want, and people who don’t have a clue get excited about it.” #PUNK.

Seattle Cops Handed Out Bags Of Doritos To The Stoners At Hempfest (2 photo)

While you were busy mowing the lawn or teaching your kid how to throw a baseball like a total square, the cool kids in Seattle were all attending this year’s Hempfest over the weekend, in order to “advance the cause of Cannabis policy reform through education, while advancing the public image of the Cannabis advocate or enthusiast through example.” I think that means that they want people to take the legalization of marijuana debate more seriously and to stop thinking all pot smokers look like this guy. Another goal of Hempfest is to get pot smokers and public officials on the same page now that marijuana is legal in Washington, and the Seattle Police Department wanted to show that officers were capable of not harshing the buzz by handing out 1,000 bags of Doritos to people at the event, and each bag came with a reminder that exercising caution is a two-way game of hacky sack.

London's Brent Council Is Replacing Its Receptionists With A Hologram (1 photo + 1 video)

In a move to save approximately $26,000 per year in salary for a living, breathing human receptionist capable of directing people wherever they need to go, the leaders at London’s Brent Council decided that they’d rather spend about $18,000 (or £12,000) for a one-time fee to set up a hologram receptionist that can answer limited questions about services in the government building and will undoubtedly end up pissing a lot of people off when they have to keep repeating themselves. Obviously, some of the borough’s elected officials aren’t too happy about this idea, as they think that it’s going to end up costing the council more to keep reprogramming the hologram, so it can answer even more questions and probably tell some perverts to put their pants back on. And the only reason they even need it in the first place is because people have been complaining that it’s too difficult to find individual offices.

This Children's Book Marriage Proposal Is Winning The Internet (2 photo)

Sick of all these other soon-to-be fiancees using the likes of Zach Braff and Donal Logue to win the internet with their marriage proposals, Paul Phillips made his own romantic children’s book (with the help of illustrator Yoni Limor), had his girlfriend stumble upon it in the library, and then took a knee when the gorilla proposed to the giraffe because life is a fairytale. The whole thing has of course since been elaborately shared on Reddit. It’s all a little too cutesy for me (inter-species relations aside) but everyone else seemingly can’t get enough so who am I to argue with public demand? Real-life vs. children’s book proposal montage below. Full illustrated story here. Someone please email me when they re-use the book and idea to propose to their girlfriend and claim it as their own because THAT is something I very much want to cover.

My Purse My Choice Is The NFL Handbag Policy Abortion Joke You Needed (1 photo + 1 video)

This season the NFL handbag policy is making fans use NFL-branded, clear, plastic totes instead of their regular purses and handbags because it “improves stadium safety.” You know, because stadium violence begins with purses. Some fans aren’t taking that lying down. My Purse, My Choice is taking a stand, and simultaneously … uh, bringing purse humor to everyone. Just watch. Seriously. Super funny. Plus: gum.

15 Back-to-School Sales That Guarantee an Awesome Semester (16 photo)

It’s time to head back to school…did you get all your supplies? You know, the knives and fake severed feet and pregnancy tests? These back-to-school specials are clearly for people who know how to live (or at least how to drink too much and make questionable decisions due to impaired judgment). One thing’s for certain — if you stocked up on all these sales, you’d have a semester you’d never forget (assuming you could remember it).

A Colossal Tropical Resort Housed Inside A German Bunker (15 photo)

If you want to experience an exotic tropical holiday, have you ever thought about going to Germany? When you think of emerald lagoons, shady palm trees, crystal blue water & quaint wooden huts, it’s probably not the first country that springs to mind is it? Until now. House within a ginormous hanger large enough to hold eight full size soccer fields or the entire Eiffel Tower lying down horizontally is the Tropical Islands Resort. A place so tall, that even New York’s Status of Liberty could stand tall with touching the ceiling. The resort of around 60KM just south of Berlin, in Brandenburg, Germany so you can swap your polar jackets for bikini’s and shorts in just under an hours drive. It’s now officially one of the largest structures on the planet by volume, we’re talking around 5.5 million m³ – which is just as well, because it’s also home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest. You’ll find roughly 30,000 types of trees, bushes and foliage scattered through the dome, there’s even bananas trees popping up everywhere to give you that truly tropical feel. There an artificial sea, a long man-made beach and the climate is kept at a perfect 26c all year round – not overly hot, not overly cold. They’ve even take a leaf out of las Vegas’s habit of appropriating historic monuments but recreating Cambodia’s Angkor Wat and traditional Thai homes. And along with not having to worry about the weather, you don’t even have to worry about things like closing times either – the centre is open 24/7. Fancy a swim at 3am? No problem, just remember you’re unlikely to be alone, the pool itself can hold up to 8,000 enthusiastic swimmers. Would you be keen to go along for a day or two? You can make a booking right here, oh and don’t forget to pack your sunglasses.

The Lost Sketch Book Of Guillermo del Toro Revealed (18 photo + 2 video)

For the past decade, Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro can lay claim to being one of Hollywood’s most imaginative directors. He’s the visionary behind the lens that has brought the underworld to life in the confronting The Devil’s Backbone (2001) disturbing Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), bloodthirsty Blade II (2002) and demonic Hellboy (2004) Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). His most recent work, Pacific Rim (2013) is a visual feast, steeped in fantasy, myth, giant monsters and even bigger robots. If you’re watching a Guillermo del Toro movie, your senses are in for treat.
