Aorta VI: Jared Blunk, PJ Kneisel & Sam Graham

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Artist: Jared Blunk

Terrible Twos is an original, traditionally-drawn two frame daily comic-strip by LA artists Pj Kneisel and JTMB.

Started in late 2009, the gritty and often esoteric Terrible Twos began their online appearance meekly, but have since gained a small, but dedicated following; probably due to their offbeat humor and unflinchingly graphic art.


**** ******

The comic's two frame approach allows both artists to contribute to each strip, making every piece a fully collaborative exercise with an often unexpected and inspired punchline.

The entire Terrible Twos catalog can be veiwed at the Aorta VI art collective blog @ AortaVI.blogspot.com - where new strips are posted daily.

NBC #1 @ TV's 50 Biggest Bomb Ever

The plight and suffering of Haitian people and continuing financial support on a global level is relevant to my being than the media's lust over NBC vs. Jay Leno & Conan O'Brien program woe. However, Leno and O'Brien do employee hundreds of people that would be out of work and financial support in this recession, so I'm happy to see a resolution is on the horizon.

Alexander McQueen: Milan Fashion Week

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Writer - Jae Joseph

Designer Alexander McQueen's Fall & Winter 2010 men and Spring & Summer 2010 women collections paid homage to the pace of technological change, melting polar ice caps and other seismic cultural shifts. McQueen called it "An Bailitheoir Cnámh" - a Gaelic phrase that means 'The Bone Collector' - and based his collections on the lives of the seafaring folks who dwell in the harsh conditions near the North and South poles --- the ends of the earth.


WireImage

With Trompe l'oeil ice-print shirts, melting-ice jacquards on wool-silk suits and water-droplet jacquards on leather. Mohair suits, leather parkas, bags and gloves were printed to look like they'd been made from fur. McQueen's signature love of skulls was evidence, manifesting itself in a repeating photo-realistic print pattern that evoked the neatly stacked piles of bones found in underground catacombs. That same prints were used to paper the floor and some of the pillars in the venue, which heightened the macabre feeling.

Much of what was evidence at the Milan mens runway this week, McQueen's Fall & Winter collection implemented a more subdued manner than in the past seasons. Prior season - which was shown in a presentation format - had a looping short film of a man wandering around an abandoned insane asylum and smearing the walls with his own excrement, but as a showcase for his considerable talents and technical abilities, the film got its point across.

John Mayer Humps Rolling Stone

Musician John Mayer sans shirt poses for pixer Mark Sellinger and keeps his candor stance as well for interviewer Erik Hedegaard of Rolling Stone February 2010 Issue. The John Mayer: Dirty Mind, Lonely Heart article hits newsstands today. Here are snippets from the 32-year-old Mayer sit-down -



On the prying eyes of paparazzi: I'll be honest with you. All this weird s**t about me? All this strangeness? I wouldn't have a music career without it. But I am at odds with myself. I have some presence of psychological damage from the past 36 months. I have not had a woman appear in my dreams sexually without a paparazzi in the dream too. I can't even have a wet dream without having to explain to someone who's grinding on me, ŒWe can't do this right now, because there's a guy over there taking pictures.


Mark Seliger

On masturbating : I am the new generation of masturbator. I've seen it all. Before I make coffee, I've seen more butt holes than a proctologist does in a week.

On daily pleasures: I don't like that question, because it seeks to make me sound strange if I say 'ŒYes, but of course I do.’ I mean, I have masturbated myself out of serious problems in my life. The phone doesn't pick up because I'm masturbating. And I have excused myself at the oddest times so as to not make mistakes. If Tiger Woods only knew when to jerk off. It has a true market value, like gold bullion. First of all, I don't jerk off because I'm horny. I'm sort of half-chick. It's like District 9. I can fire alien weapons. I can insert a tampon. No, I do it because I want to take a brain bath. It's like a hot whirlpool for my brain, in a brain space that is 100 percent agreeable with itself.


Mark Seliger

On potential girlfriend: Do you think it's going to take meeting someone who I admire more than I admire myself? But isn't it also about a beautiful vagina? Aren't we talking about a matrix of a couple of different things here? Like, you need to have them be able to go toe-to-toe with you intellectually. But don't they also have to have a vagina you could pitch a tent on and just camp out on for, like, a weekend? Doesn't that have to be there, too? The Joshua Tree of vaginas? ...I'll be happy when I close out this life-partner thing. Think of how much mental capacity I'm using to meet the right person so I can stop giving a f**k about it.

Will Forte @ MacGruber - Trailer

The Saturday Night Live! sketch - MacGruber - of Will Forte as a goofy DIY MacGuyver-esque comes to the big screen under the helm of SNL writer Jorma Taccone. The Red Band MacGruber trailer looks funny and contains some salty language NSFW.


Rogue

@ imdb: Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger. Just one operative has been awarded 16 purple hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 presidential medals of bravery. And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet.



In the 10 years since his fiancée was killed, special op MacGruber has sworn off a life of fighting crime with his bare hands. But when he learns that his country needs him to find a nuclear warhead that's been stolen by his sworn enemy, Val Kilmer's Dieter Von Cunth, MacGruber figures he's the only one tough enough for the job.

Assembling an elite team of experts - Ryan Phillippe's Lt. Dixon Piper and Kristen Wiig's Vicki St. Elmo -- MacGruber will navigate an army of assassins to hunt down Cunth and bring him to justice. His methods may be unorthodox. His crime scenes may get messy. But if you want the world saved right, you call in MacGruber.

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Writer - Jae Joseph

In Milan [Italy], fearlessly dressed in leather pants and feathered caped-wings - du-jour model Bill Kaulitz is Milan Fashion Week's angel of darkness with robotic parts. The vocalist of German band - Tokio Hotel - hit the runway for DSquared2 Milan Menswear Autumn & Winter 2010 & 2011 collection in what could be referred to Jay-Z's "all black everything" lyric. Best known and adored for his androgynous and feminine style, pop-star Kaulitz seem to own the runway in designers Dean Caten and Dan Caten's goth inspired look. Kaulitz was quoted saying that he "... was really nervous beforehand".

On Tokio Hotel's Humanoid tour, Bill, Tom Kaulitz, Gustav Schäfer and Georg Listing will all be donning DSquared2 - described as a "robotic, futuristic sci-fi extravaganza." Being a fan of Tokio Hotel, a lover of DSquared2 and my somewhat sick obsession with robots, this is one tour I'm sure NOT to miss!

Joseph Gordon-Levitt @ Spencer Susser's Hesher

Director Spencer Susser of short film zombie love-story - I Love Sarah Jane - talks about his new feature film - Hesher - premiering at 2010 Sundance Film Festival and touches on the "difficulty of making a film". It resonated with me - as someone who's directed a short film and feature film. Take a look -



@ Sundance: Hesher is the story of a family struggling to deal with loss and the anarchist who helps them do it—in a very unexpected way.



@ Sundance: TJ is 13 years old. Two months ago, his mom was killed in an accident, leaving TJ and his grieving dad to move in with grandma to pick up the pieces. Hesher is a loner. He hates the world—and everyone in it. He has long, greasy hair and homemade tattoos. He likes fire and blowing things up. He lives in his van—until he meets TJ.


HeshertheMovie.com

@ Sundance: Hesher is that rare film that manages to be a completely original vision, a thoroughly entertaining story, and a provocative metaphor. Joseph Gordon-Levitt brings the character of Hesher to life with anger and angst, and Devin Brochu makes quite a splash as the young boy dealing with both the loss of his mother and an unwanted houseguest. Co-writer and director Spencer Susser crafts a multidimensional, darkly humorous film that exhibits an immensely talented storyteller at work.

Channing Tatum Humps Details

The Eagle of the Ninth and Dear John actor Channing Tatum makes leeway as a marquee actor and newlywed, yet finds time to model for photographer Norman Jean Roy in Details February 2010 Issue. Tatum shares his burning-my-penis with hot water story and other excerpts below -



On keeping warm while shooting The Eagle of the Ninth: The only way to keep warm was by pouring a mix of boiling water and river water down your suit. We were finally done shooting for the day, and one of the crew guys asks if I want to warm up before I go. I'm like, Nah, I'm good. And then I thought, Why not? Thing is, he'd forgotten to dilute the kettle water. So he poured scalding water down my suit. And I was trying to pull the suit away from my body to somehow get away from the boiling water, and the more I pulled the suit away, the lower the water went. It just went straight down and pretty much burned the skin off the head of my d**k.

On burning his penis on location - Scottish Highlands: It was the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life... I've been to the hospital, gotten stitches, had broken fingers and toes. But this was a suffocating kind of pain... Now my penis is fantastic! One hundred percent recovered. Put me back in the game, Coach.

On his depression: The longer I took Dexedrine, the worse I felt. It sucked all the personality from me. I'd get depressed. I would think suicidal – I was never personally suicidal, but I could see how some kids were, how they'd be, like, I can't take this anymore.

Charlene Keys: Tweet @ Love Again

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Writer - Jae Joseph

It has been sometime since we've heard from the Southern Hummingbird [2002] - Charlene Keys better-known as Tweet. The Missy Elliot protege - is well known for her sweet voice and honest lyrics about the elusive human love. And last night, while the moon hangs still outside my window, I listened and surprisingly introduced to Tweet's lush track - Love Again - the first single off her upcoming album - Love, Tweet [2010].


Universal Motown / The Goldmind Inc

In my overactive imagination, I was taken back by the disease of affection. Considering that Valentine's Day is sneaking upon us, many songs convey the language of the heart. Listening to Love Again, I was somewhat uncomfortable having so much emotion, yet the words were an inspiration of testament. By the second verse of the track, I felt a whisper on my neck. Although, love is an instinctive need and desire, Tweet has created a monster in my head. Keep it coming - Tweet - you were surely missed.

On shooting The Last Song in mid-America: I got on the plane [to Georgia], and I was lying in my mom's lap and crying and saying, I’m so happy to be getting out of Los Angeles [In Tybee, GA] I went out every night with my friends. I did karaoke. I danced. All this stuff would've been such a big deal in Los Angeles: Who's she with? Why is she dancing? I felt so alive and real. It's so much easier to know who you are when there aren't a thousand people telling you who they think you are. I felt like I was really figuring myself out. Usually I have someone whispering in my ear, but I was on my own.



On the media and public's negative reaction to her controversial Vanity Fair pix : Here, my parents are thinking they're seeing a beautiful photograph by a major photographer, and the people of America want to see something dirty in that? It doesn't make sense to us because [my family] doesn't look for negativity. But people don't want to say ‘What a great performance’ or ‘What a great shot. No one wants to look at something like that and see the positive because it doesn't sell a magazine.

On being a role model and not a parent: My job is to be a role model, and that's what I want to do, but my job isn't to be a parent. My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just life.”

The Last Song hits theaters on Friday, 2 April 2010.

Burberry @ London Fashion Week

RR Sideshow: Guest Contributing Writer - Jae Joseph

Many may not know that I held a short stint at the plaid mecca - Burberry - the Prorsum Collection - sometime ago. I was taken back by the first collection's intricate detailing on leather and luxury fabric, and became a loyal disciple of its Creative Director - Christopher Bailey.

Recently I learned through confirmation of Mr. Christopher Bailey that Burberry will be part of London Fashion Week to the delight of global fashionistas - who previously expected Burberry presence at Milan's catwalk. In September 2009, Burberry returned to London Fashion Week without advance word on its commitment for next season.

Last year, Christopher Bailey was the latest elite fashion designer honored by Queen's 2009 Birthday Honours List. The textile artist Yorkshire-born Bailey was named a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire [MBE]. As the Chief of British Heritage Brand, Bailey's eight years reign continues with strong-arm tenure by producing winning collections and giving back to charities. He's also accredited with establishing Burberry Foundation - a charitable organization that invests in key charities which helps Britain's youth achieve their goals and objectives through power of creativity.

Christopher Bailey states that the Burberry house will show its Autumn & Winter 2010 collection on the catwalks of London Fashion Week. And if I'm bestowed a golden ticket to the coveted show, then I'll forever be grateful and hope that my travel airfare won't be costly. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed --- in my London Fog-esque Burberry trench.
