Kate Moss beat Lily Allen in a drinking contest.

The ShamWow guy got arrested last month for beating up a hooker after she bit his tongue and wouldn’t let go. All things considered, that is one of the better hooker mug shots I have seen.

From The Times-Picayune

“the Gray Ghost…pleaded no contest Tuesday to the charge of criminal trespassing in New Orleans Municipal Court Division D.

He received a 60-day suspended sentence for overpainting a graffiti-style mural on the corner of Press and Burgundy streets in Bywater on Oct. 22. Under the conditions of the suspended sentence, he can no longer remove graffiti without first getting the property owner’s OK. City and state properties are also out of bounds without permission.”

Supertouch Art is my normal go-to for all things Lance Armstrong, but in the midst of all this breaking news, the website is silent.  What gives?  ESPN got to the point and filled in the road to recovery.

Media Temple helped crash our server today (Thanks Guys!) and the site will be slow until we can transfer everything over to a new host.  Please bear with us during this time.  We’ll still update like mad, but site access can be limited due to such horrible disappointing hosting.

You would think they would be royalty? This family recieves £22000 tax free a year because they are just too fat to do anything but watch TV and eat.

‘We love TV. It’s on from the moment we get up. Often I’m so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap.’

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food, including chocolate, chips and pies, and consume 3,000 calories each a day.

This is an interesting collaboration that I am too lazy to explain on my own. Here are some bullet points from the press release…

• Sagmeister has developed a series of designs that explore the jean that started it all – the Levi’s Original, Button-Fly 501
• The installation will unveil the first two Sagmeister images from the special art series created for the Levi’s
• Levi’s brand and American Rag stores in Los Angeles and San Francisco will distribute a limited run of 501 museum-quality, poster reproductions of the Sagmeister images featured in American Rag’s windows this March.
• Sagmeister took Levi’s Original button-fly 501 and examined its origin and mystique, literally stripping the iconic silhouette down to the raw materials that compose its DNA. “The jeans themselves are iconic, so we decided to go with just a product shot, using nothing more and nothing less than a single pair of 501s,” Stefan explains.

Our friends at Material Interest tipped us off to the fact that the NCAA is streaming every tournament game live on the internets.

I was over on Grotesk’s blog and caught these images of Supreme’s latest street campaign with a welcome addition.  Good to see Faile back to their old tricks.  A source close to the duo when pestered about it simply answered “how could you not?”
