Meanwhile, fashion photog and America's Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker has added to his Renaissance man capabilities: photog, saver of baby seals, and now, rater of laptops for Laptop magazine... including his verdict on the much-vaunted Macbook Air.

How to Look Good In Your Mug Shot

Art show! Posing for a good mug shot is never easy. I say this from experience! They don't let you style your hair, and your makeup is usually confiscated by this point in the arrest process. (Try asking the cop to buy you a cup of coffee, then use the grounds as eyeliner.) If you're a celeb, you're going to want to look good: Los Angeles artist Rachel Schmeidler is turning celebrity mug shots into pop art, compiled at Hollywood's Most Wanted. It's been a busy year for her! [LA Times] Want to see a recent mug shot of reckless-driving Dawn Wells, aka Mary Ann from "Gilligan's Island"? Yeah you do. More »

Better This Than Riding a Rascal


Last night at the after-party for the Directors Guild of America awards, Dame Helen Mirren put down her gin and asked a fellow party-goer if she could ride his Segway. When the press isn't around and guards are let down, you'll catch these sorts of private, goofy moments when celebrities are just human — and then you will take pictures, and you'll post them on your blog.

Yes, Virginia, There Is Such a Thing as Overexposure

It's amazing what a little polling reveals. According to E-Poll Market Research, which ranks more than 2,800 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes, celebrities are overexposed. And yes, we needed a formal survey to tell us this. On their scale, the average overexposure rating for "most celebrities at the peak of their careers is between 3% and 7%," but the familiar faces gracing the the covers of celebrity weeklies are rating much, much higher. According to the index, the most overexposed celebs: More »

Anonymous, Dubious Celebrity Shows Us Her Elbow


At the end of the day, most celebrities are, in fact, total fucking freaks, so one comes to expect all sorts of bizarre behavior from the rarefied species. But this is a whole new level of weird: a YouTube user claiming to be an unnamed celebrity (Rance, anyone?) has started a new series called "Celebrity Body Parts," in which she posts a short video every four days featuring a close-up on one of her body parts. She then talks about said body part and, if someone correctly guesses her identity, she claims that she'll immediately reveal herself (at which point we'll learn that she's not, say, Keira Knightley, but actually some Channel 5 presenter we've never heard of). Above, the first episode deals with the woman's hair; episode two delves into elbows. Fascinating stuff, really. Also, the talking hair kind of freaks us out.
