I love this photo.

Here is yet another shoot to feature one of the year's biggest swimwear trends; the cut-away monokini. Titled Eclissi Solare ("Solar Eclipses"), this black and white shoot evokes a feeling of ancient mysticism and Goddess-like beauty.

Graph Nobel - Something 2 Die 4 EP [MUSIC]

I'm feeling this Canadian girl...Canadian girl!

I’ve got something very special for y’all today. This is an EP by Canadian singer/songwriter/vocalist Graph Nobel, produced entirely by Malik Worthy. You may know Graph from her work with Idle Warship (along with Talib Kweli and Res), or her songwriting credits alongside The Neptunes, N.E.R.D., Esthero and more. She is currently working with Pharrell on new projects and preparing to tour Europe with Idle Warship. This EP is comprised of five great songs that touch on love, loss, hope, and living life. Just great music. Enjoy!!!!

"The Hangover" 1 up's "Up" [MOVIES]


Saw this last night...never expected to see a theatre so packed on a Monday night! Anyway...this movie is truly hilarious! With a sequel already planned, I'm thinking consecutive #1 weekend numbers. You do have an online option you can exercise as well: Dream Stations

One of my favourite quotes:

Stu: "She is wearing my grandmother's Holocaust ring."
Alan: "I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust."


LOS ANGELES — Hollywood had a bigger hangover this weekend than expected.

The Warner Bros. comedy "The Hangover" drew larger audiences than earlier projected to raise its weekend ticket sales to $45 million, about $1.8 million more than the studio estimated Sunday.

That made it the No. 1 draw for the weekend instead of Disney and Pixar Animation's "Up," which came in second with $44.1 million. Sunday studio estimates had "Up" edging "The Hangover" by about $1 million.

The Girlfriend Experience [MOVIES]



This may be how I spend this upcoming weekend!

GFE is five days in the life of an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who thinks she has her life totally under control. She feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle. But when youre in the business of meeting people, you never know who youre going to meet.

Shot in a an artistic cinema verité style, the ups and downs of GFE's story line are less compelling than the very credible performance of award-winning adult film actress, Sasha Grey, as a determined young woman that has managed to achieve success as an upscale escort without any apparent loss of dignity, but clearly at the expense of her ability to feel anything deeply, be it with her clients or in her personal life. In an uncomplicated way, the film makes a provocative point about the more subtle costs of switching off aspects of our aliveness (i.e. our caring) to get ahead.

Stephen Colbert Guest Editor for Newsweek Mag [COVER]


I'm thinking I can take cues a go heavy this Caribana with "YAADI" etched in the side of my joint! No? Okay than.

I wanted to find the answers. So when Jon Meacham asked me to guest-edit NEWSWEEK, I jumped at the chance, particularly because my guest editorship at Mature -Honeys fell through. I guess my photo essay of sexy housewives reenacting the Battle of Fallujah was too "real" for them.
