Source: Entertainment - Google News | 16 Apr 2010 | 1:22 am Last Night on Late Night: Stephen Colbert Takes on Williamsburg Stephen Colbert pulled no punches as he ripped into New York's most annoying neighborhood last night for its low census return rate. Colbert said the number of residents who had filled out the census was "less than the number... who have tattoos of mermaids with TVs for heads" and even held a brief interview with a hipster in his audience. That interview was still less strange than Tracy Morgan's on The Daily Show, where the 30 Rock star explained why Tobey Maguire owes him $75. In other non sequitur news, Chris Rock told Jimmy Fallon about the surreal experience of meeting Richard Pryor, a conversation that came from the disclosure that Rock is producing the new Pryor biopic. Rock had to remind himself which Wayans brother is set to play Pryor, but recognition never seems to be a problem for Christopher "McLovin" Mintz-Plasse — a blessing and a curse according to the stories of fan requests he told Jimmy Kimmel. Finally, Craig Ferguson managed to cobble together a solid joke from two tired monologue subjects: Jay Leno and taxes. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

The Fire Department believes that Swain set the destructive fires on March 22 and April 6 out of revenge, as he apparently has harbored a 15-year-old grudge for not being permitted to work at the Bryant Park stand, which has notoriously stolen his business. “The frustration has been building up for a long time,” Don Ward, Swain's 42-year-old roommate and a fellow shoeshiner, said. “You’ve got to understand something: Out here, the competition is cutthroat, dog-eat-dog. If the other guy is taking your customers, he’s stealing your livelihood, and you can’t let that happen.”

Source: Daily Intel | 15 Apr 2010 | 6:45 pm Thanks to Writing Side-Job, Obama Earns Over $5 Million Last Year Barack Obama raked in a cool $5.5 million last year, the majority of which comes from sales of his books. He owed $1.8 million in taxes, but overpaid by $8,287 (well, he does save money on phone and internet bills). Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden made $333,182 last year, on which he paid $71,147 in taxes, meaning the Obamas gave about the same amount to charity in 2009 ($329,100) as the Bidens earned overall (this doesn't even count the $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize income the president donated entirely to charity).

Source: E! Online (US) - Top Stories | 15 Apr 2010 | 4:49 pm Kick-Ass Creator Ready to Kick Marvel’s Ass Comic-book author Mark Millar, the outspoken creator of Kick-Ass, is furious with Marvel for allegedly ripping off his idea for a story in which vampires attack mutants. According to Millar's rants on his personal message board, he had planned a story involving vampire mutants and the vampire hunter Blade five years ago for Marvel's Ultimate Comics Avengers series, but the very same idea seems to be the basis of an Uncanny X-Men story arc set to be published two months prior to Millar's own tale. Since details concerning the X-Men story have been limited to teaser images featuring Blade and a vampire version of the teenage X-Man Jubilee, it's difficult to tell how much of Millar's paranoia is justified. The writer has since deleted his posts — though they have been preserved on Robot 6 — and announced that he has spoken to Marvel brass, who have promised to "fix" this situation.

Source: The Cut | 15 Apr 2010 | 4:15 pm Barneys Co-op Draws Ire for Its Name Face-off of the co-ops. Barneys Co-op and members-only grocer Park Slope Food Coop are in a scuffle over the use of the term "co-op." It seems that after Barneys’ announcement that it would be bringing its spinoff store to Cobble Hill this fall, the market’s general manager, Joe Holtz, turned a bit territorial. He claims that the retailer misuses the word and dilutes his brand image, one that he’s been cultivating for the Coop’s 37 years of existence. “It’s a new thing having a co-op in Brooklyn that’s not a co-op,” he told The Brooklyn Paper. “There is something wrong with that.” Holtz says he hasn’t decided whether he’ll bring the issue to court on the basis of New York’s “Cooperative Corporations Law.” (The document states that “The term ‘cooperative’ … shall not be used as, or in, a name except by a corporation defined in this chapter,” though a couple of lawyers in the article describe the law as “arcane” and “antiquated.”) Either way, Barneys doesn’t seem too worried. “The year 2010 will be our 25th anniversary since opening the co-op,” a spokeswoman told the Paper. “We’ve been using this phrase for a long time.” Plus, the brand name is trademarked. Were Holtz to pursue his vendetta, such a violation is considered a misdemeanor — meaning Barneys would have to fork over a maximum fine of $500.

Source: Daily Intel | 15 Apr 2010 | 4:00 pm OPEN THREAD: Are People Watching Top Chef Masters?
To me, Top Chef Masters is the Thursday Night College Football Game to the NFL that is Regular Top Chef (or RegChef, as I call it to people who ask me what I’m talking about). Meaning, Top Chef Masters isn’t as exciting as regular Top Chef, and you’re not gonna be as invested in the people involved or even the outcome, but it’s still better to throw on tv on a random night than most other stuff. The chefs are theoretically more skilled than their RegChef counterparts, so the college/NFL analogy is reversed in that regard, but I enjoy the concept of high-profile chef-owners being forced to go back to the basics (the basics, meaning, the new Lexus Basixx SUV). There’s obvious drawbacks to Masters — Michelle hates Kelly Choi, and while I don’t entirely disagree, I’m really not that picky about the voice that tells me the amount of time a particular competition will take (athough this week’s episode, where Kelly was the sole Quickfire judge because grilled cheese is so “near and dear to her heart”, distinctly reeked of “no budget remaining”). I also hate that the critics don’t actually criticize the dishes, but always couch their comments with “Clearly you were going for this, cause you’re awesome and know what you’re doing, but it juuuuuust barelllllyyyy missed an eeentsy eeentsy little bit I’M SORRY! I’M SORRY! I know you’re awesome. 750,000 Stars – that puts you in third place.” So my question to the masses – Are people watching Top Chef Masters? Do people enjoy it or at least enjoy making fun of it, or just flat-out not care? Is it worth a brief weekly Recap? Those Recap Photoshops take our 12-person design team months and cost millions, so I don’t wanna Recap it if no one’s gonna care (although our design team should be a little more free now that Avatar’s done). Leave your Masters thoughts in the comments, if you have any.

Blasberg, an editor for V and Style.com and a freelancer for numerous other publications, can be seen regularly out on the fashion-party circuit chumming it up with his famous pals. The Times's Eric Wilson hit the town one night with Blasberg, fellow fashion scenester Leigh Lezark, and Lezark's partner, Geordon Nicol. This happened in the car:
Lezark was among the numerous celebrities at Blasberg's book party at Barneys, which was hosted by Chloë Sevigny, Vogue's Lauren Santo Domingo, and Pop editor Dasha Zhukova. Wilson writes that at this party, Blasberg was evidently "greatly admired" by all kinds of fashion people, from Tinsley Mortimer to makeup artist Pat McGrath to photographer Terry Richardson. Not to mention Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanni Battaglia. But how did Blasberg acquire such a coterie of famous buddies? It's simpler than having a knack for air-kissing — by being nice, that thing that most people who write for the Internet have long forgotten how to do. Years ago, Blasberg was thought to be the writer behind Socialite Rank, which he wasn't, but he's still upset by the association. Wilson writes:
Well that's not necessarily true. People who stifle cubicle boredom by reading blogs don't necessarily want to read about sunshine and butterflies and rainbows and how great people born — or married to — money look at fashion parties. Sometimes they want scandal! A silly story about someone wearing the same dress as someone else and being catty about it! Someone who simply wore something hideous and grossly expensive! Sometimes people want to know that the lives of the people who are supposed to be perfect are in fact as imperfect as their own, perhaps more so. That's where those people may "lose" reading Blasberg. But they will not expect or hope for, say, Chanel to fly them to and put them up in St. Tropez for the next fashion show. Or for Chloë Sevigny to host their book party. We don't.

Source: The Cut | 15 Apr 2010 | 3:25 pm Paul Krugman and Andrew Ross Sorkin Disagree on Even the Tone of Their Conversation The other day, a fight broke out on the website of the New York Times that in retrospect, was probably a long time coming. In one corner, we had Paul Krugman, the thoughtful, paunchy Nobel Prize–winning economist. In the other, Andrew Ross Sorkin, slick young reporter turned bestselling author. At issue was Sorkin's characterization of Krugman's opinion, in the dark days of 2009. Sorkin wrote in his DealBook column that Krugman said that the country should "nationalize the banking system." Krugman disagreed, loudly, on his blog. He had written, he said, that some banks should be nationalized, not the entire damn system. Sorkin then disagreed with that, as though Krugman didn't know his own mind. Today, public editor Clark Hoyt stepped in to mediate, and found that, unsurprisingly, the two men disagree on basically everything, from who was in the right to what the definition of nationalization is to the tone of their own makeup conversation. According to Hoyt: Krugman and Sorkin told me that they talked Thursday. Sorkin said the conversation was “very cordial.” Krugman called it “not much fun.”

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 15 Apr 2010 | 2:51 pm Were the Fall 2010 Runway Castings Really a Turning Point? Tennant, Hume, and McMenamy walking Calvin Klein. The AP wonders if "older" models are "the new black" since we saw a handful of older, established, recognizable faces on the fall 2010 runways. Calvin Klein for instance cast Kristen McMenamy, Stella Tennant, and Kirsty Hume. Prada cast Victoria's Secret models Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Giles Deacon also cast Ambrosio. Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa reiterated that he chose older models because he wanted the cast to represent the women who actually buy his clothes, who are not 16-year-olds. His show opened, however, with Jac, who is 16.
We loved seeing the Victoria's Secret models on the runways too. It was refreshing. But they also stood out so much because they were still the exception.
Sexy, curvaceous figures seem to be on the rise, but the vast majority of girls walking that we saw were still super-skinny and super-young. Are 'Older' Models The New Black?

That Eliot Spitzer collaborated with investigative producer Alex Gibney for an untitled documentary is completely beyond our comprehension. That he allowed himself to be filmed in dark shadows, growling out quotes with eyeballs that were lit to look like dark pockets of soullessness — well, that's the icing on the cake. And then there's this quote, about how high he was flying in 2006 when his path to the governor's mansion was almost totally assured, and when he started patronizing the Emperor's Club prostitution ring:
That — that's like the salt on the icing on the cake that Magnolia uses so that you are in pure bliss for half a block as you walk away from the shop but by the time you reach West 4th, it's actually silently murdered a very deep, important part of you.

Target confirmed the release dates of its next two designer collaboration lines for its Go series, which spotlights young designers. Designer Gaby Basora of Tucker, which is known for its prints and blouses, will release a line of coats, dresses, and lingerie on September 10. Earlier rumors said the line would launch this summer, but seeing how the retailer pushed it back to the very same day as Anna & Co.'s Fashion's Night Out, perhaps Target plans to hype the occasion with FNO events. Like a New York pop-up shop! Target loves to open those in New York, and it would be nice, since Basora opened and closed a Tucker store in the Lower East side last year. Target also announced a partnership with Temple St. Clair Carr of the jewelry line Temple St. Clair. Carr uses a lot of gold, diamonds, and gems in her designs, so it will be interesting to see how she tailors her aesthetic for the mass market when her collection hits stores on August 29. And, don't forget, Zac Posen's Target collection goes on sale tonight in New York (and everywhere else next week) at the 24-hour pop-up. Review the collection here.

Source: Variety.com - Front Page | 15 Apr 2010 | 10:34 am SLEEP-DEPRIVED RANTS: Best Cruise Ever Meets So-So-Est Airport Terminal Ever
But a funny thing happens when you spend too much time with your parents — in my case, 5 straight days. My brain seems to revert back to its unformed infantile blob state. Perhaps it’s the constant bickering, nagging, nit-picking, and picking-up-after-me-ing. Or maybe it’s the endless Cheesecake Factory salad trough that has been placed in front of my mouth since I landed. Maybe, adorably, there’s some sort of chemical being excreted by my parents’ new kitten Minky, who makes for an adorable if not petite Lutzy replacement. (Live-blogging Side-note: A gigantic old man who looks like a child molester — no offense sir — just sat next to me and coughed directly onto my hands and laptop. Tuberculosis, nice to meet you.) I’m still trying to piece together the exact reasons I missed my flight to Tampa this morning. It seemed so simple: Leave the house, get to airport, sit in seat, fly. Go to bed at 2 AM, wake up at 5. But what ended up happening was this: I woke up at 6, scrambled to get everything together, slapped my eyeliner on like Hatsumomo in Memoirs of a Geisha, broke my favorite pair of sandals (my cruising sandals!!) after attempting to jam my giant flesh canoes betwixt its delicate straps in a yet-to-be-scene giant-footed episode of Minute to Win It. Undeterred, I grabbed the suitcase my Mom loaned me for the cruise (a sturdy black box she bought in a flea market in Florence from the illustrious luggage brand known as “Suitcase”… as in, the logo on the outside says “Suitcase” in what I’m pretty sure is Comic Sans), and rolled it with extreme difficulty (damn “Suitcase” wheels) to my fathers awaiting car trunk. Then, my Dad hit the special “T-Birds” button on his Mercury Milan, causing it to spit fire and blades to shoot out the sides of the tires, and we were off to the airport. Making great time! Until the traffic. The saga continues ahead, along with photographic proof of my parents + Cheesecake Factory obsession.
But things aren’t all bad! Nope, no they ain’t. Look at me! On the internet… at the airport. For the low low cost of $9.95. Other bright sides include: Not having to toss my lip gloss at security, leaving my wallet at the check-in counter, having to leave the terminal to get wallet, again not being forced to throw out my gloss when I had to go through security again, and did I mention that I have Tuberculosis now? Fatastic. So here I sit, on 3 hours sleep, praying to stay awake long enough to eventually fall overboard on the Best Cruise Ever. (My mother’s sign off on my call earlier, said with grave seriousness: “Michelle, one last thing. And listen very carefully: Do not lean on the railings.” Gonna pre-cog myself on this one and say “Too late, Mom.”) Oh, and by the way, evvverything is making me laugh right now. Like this comment on ONTD, this video of a corgi playing with an Ipad, the U.S. Constitution… I’m really having a time. (Kill me.) Anyway, I gotta go text my single boo Larry King before my second flight takes off. Stay tuned this weekend as I update the world live from the Best Cruise Ever via Twitter and this very here blog. I’ll be hosting a lot of fun events on board, including a Male Wet T-Shirt contest and a Cannonball Competition (“So Much Fun You’ll Crack Your Own Head Open!” — Failed Cannonball Contest Slogans). I already miss all of you so much I am crying by Gate 26. (JK it’s Fattie von Blue-Sweater-Vest-Stein’s spittle oozing down my face.) Just pray this flight takes off before the Icelandic ash makes its way over to the Gulf Coast. xoxo **Cue the assh*le commenters reminding me that this is a pop culture blogggguhguhhhh now.
