The Sexy! It's Back! Justin Timberlake Delivers On An Old Promise.

We have this excellent “How To Speak Wookiee” book at my store. Trust me, it’s not the kids pushing the sound button all damn day. Well, they’re kids, but they’re very tall kids with stubble. (Laughing Squid)

Speaking of Sci-Fi nostalgia, here is an excellent infographic on how to spot The Thing. (The Ampersand)

And here we have a gorgeous series of sculptures of the human body made out of welded metal/tightly knight chains. (Colossal)

Today GLAAD asks you wear purple to show solidarity for the LGBT(QIA) community and to promote anti-bullying. In case you did not find any purple in your wardrobe, many folks are “purpling” their Facebook profile photos. I’ve “purpled” good old David Gandy here. Totally straight David Gandy. Not at all homoerotic David Gandy. That’s my gift to you. (Celebitchy)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like JGL is giving Scarlett Johansson the business. The business is his penis. (Evil Beet)

Speaking of ScarJo, she’s just one of several celebrities on this list of Hilarious Audition Tapes. Here you’ll see her reading for Jumanji. Some are real, some are fake, but the best has to be TJ Miller and the bear. (Flavorwire)

Our favorite Justin (suck it Bieber) appears in a new music video. It’s not technically *his* music video, though you could have fooled me. Listen, I enjoy Timberlake “The Actor” but he’s kidding himself if he thinks he’s capable of anything more than SNL host and inveterate Kunis banger. But he makes top notch, addictive albums. Here he is rapping, auto tune style. (NYMag)

Allegedly, high heels are the new height of fashion for men in NYC. Not drag, just the heels. Muy interesante, fellas, ENJOY THE PAIN. (NYT)

Did you know U.S. currency used to be intricate and gorgeous? Me neither. (Boing Boing)

Speaking of U.S. currency, let’s talk OCCUPY for a second. First of all, MTV is looking for young, lissome protestors for either “The Real World,” an entirely new TV series or a special report. It’s a little unclear to me. Either way, my favorite part is that the casting call asks for folks who “appear to be between the ages of 20-24.” Same as it ever was. (The Village Voice)

And while the police have been cast as the bad guys throughout this protest, “Mother Jones” has a slightly more balanced look at the NYPD and their reaction/action/participation. (Mother Jones)

Finally, someone’s done a fairly adorable “Occupy Andy’s Room” photo series with Toy Story figures. (The Curious Brain)

At the time of this posting, the official word was that Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi is dead. (Slate)

And so as not to leave you on a wholly maudlin note, here is a heart breaking/warming story reader Justin sent me. “An Iowa couple who was married for 72 years died one hour apart last week in the hospital as they held hands.” (KCCI)

You guys remember “Sweding,” the low-budget recreations made popular by Be Kind Rewind. Well here’s sweded version of The Avengers trailer. I don’t know about you, but I found it magnifique. Right down to the red cloth that chick is wearing for hair.

Finally, the lovely Feist takes part in the Black Cab Sessions series. Her unique voice is obviously an incredible instrument in and of itself, so it’s no wonder this was a fantastic session.

OMG, Mr. Gandy! I see your pants are untied. Let me do those up for you. With my mouth.

Uh, Gaddafis death shouldnt make anybody feel maudlin unless you are one of his closest friends and relatives I guess.

I'm unreasonably depressed over the fact that I will very soon be out of the Real World age range. Its like my opportunity to be boozed up and vacant has passed, and that makes me sad.

I'm wearing purple from my sweater, to my scarf, to my bracelet, to the circles under my eyes from a week with entirely too much PowerPoint in it. I also have a purple bathroom that I'm sure we subconsciously painted that colour to support LGBT youth.

The last Real World I watched was the one with Puck and Pedro. Im quite old but I still get boozed up and vacant sometimes.

Thank you for linking to the Mother Jones article. I've been saying that since day one about NYPD involvement. They're underpaid and overworked. They're just trying to do their jobs. If you knew how much they earned and how huge a chunk of their pay was given back to NYC in taxes on every paycheck, you'd realize that they support the Occupy Wall Street message if they take the time to read past the initial laundry list of demands (which included on some versions dismantling the NYPD).

It's their job to enforce the law, and anyone--protester or civilian--gets run out or arrested if they're in Washington Square Park after midnight. Same with walking anywhere except for the pedestrian pathway on the Brooklyn Bridge or standing in the middle of the street and blocking traffic. The orange nets are at the ready for any large gathering and officers are transported in from other precincts for crowds expected to be over a certain size (such as protests, festivals, concerts, etc.). This is not special treatment for Occupy Wall Street; it's the law. NYPD officers were doing this long before the protests began and will continue doing it long after the protests are over.

Fuck you, New York Times, you don't know shit. Take those high heels and jam them sideways. The second you find me sporting high heels is the second I am faaaaarrrrr too drunk to know what's going on and you've convinced me that teetering around in a pair of Mahnolo Blahniks is a new type of trippy roller coaster and no one is around to tell me different.

You can keep saying it, but it doesn't make it any more true. Justin Timberfake is not sexy and at best looks like the homeless guy on the corner who keeps bugging me for change.

It is a well known fact that men are motivated to do things in the pursuit of getting laid. Please, NO ONE FUCK THESE HIGH HEELED MEN. That should nip that trend nicely in the bud. Besides, you would need a ladder or something.

It's some sort of group delusion/hallucination that "Justin Timberlake is sexy." He's Not. He's a dweeb and his songs are redundant autotuned drivel. I am a believer (can I get a witness) that sexy is many many things, but NOT SEXY is a much longer list and Justin Timberlake is at the top of that list. The unsexy one. The list populated by people devoid of sexy. He looks like the guy at the high school mixer who has decided to clear the floor while he solo dances to Walk This Way -- people looking all side-eye at him, poor, sad, fedora-wearing dork.

Joanna, thank you for the 'Sweded' Avengers trailer.

Made my day.

Regarding JGL and ScarJo, this is all I have to say.

The Black Cab session clip was way cool! Can't say that I'm a new fan of this
Feist gal {sorry J Ro. Nothing personal}, but I totally dug the groove, vibe
and harmonizing. That creative-y shizz gets me all a'tingle. I'm so in the
wrong career (HR @ ginormous corp)... it's never too late, right? Anyhow,
excellent. Thanks for the include on the P Love today.

The story about the couple holding hands while dying is heartwarming until you realize that the 94-year-old man who was driving and caused the accident killed his wife, injured another man, and crippled a younger woman for life. He had already had trouble driving and should not have been on the road. While I appreciate his devotion to his wife, his refusal to give up his "right" to drive hurt a lot of people.
As it says in the driver's handbook, driving is a privelege, not a right.

That NYT article creeps me out. And also makes me jealous. I wear a women's size 12 and I can't find hot ladies' shoes to wear 90% of the time. I guess I just need to shell out $3k to have them custom made. No wait, I think it just pisses me off.
