Hooowwl-oween: The Best (Cutest) Costumes From The Doggy Halloween Parade
We love dogs. We love cute dogs. These are two incontrovertible facts. So you just know we're going a bit insane over these photo's from 21st annual Tompkins Square Park Halloween Dog Parade here in New York City. What can be cuter than dogs forcibly put into adorable Halloween costumes and made to walk in a parade?
In no particular order, here are the ones we thought were the cutest of the pack. and we grade them from 1-10 on our patented (actually patent pending) Cute-O-Meter.
Look at that poor thing. He looks like he's having the shittiest time. On the cute-o-meter though this is a solid 5. but for the clever A-train/Rat combo, we're gonna boost that up to an 8.
Come on. This is a 9 - Bumble bee anything always scores high on the cute-o-meter. Look at his little face. Don't you just want to call him your little schmoopy schmoopy?
If this Occupy Wall St. dog doesn't occupy your heart, you have no heart. Extra points for the little Ipad on his shoulder. No self respecting fiscal protester would be caught dead with out his I-Whatever. 9 on the Cute-O-Meter.
Apparently this was suppose to be a Rastafarian doggie but it looks like they couldn't get the little guy to wear his locks so we have to take some points off. 7!
Umm, Raptor Doggy, nuff said. 10 on the Cute-O-Meter. Wait, not nuff said, do you see how his little noggin looks like it's being eaten by the raptor? Do you see!?! okay, now nuff said.

LockOut:  Unemployed NBA Stars Now Want To Invade Hollywood
If you've been living under a rock then you probably haven't heard that the current NBA season is in danger of being canceled, due to a financial dispute between the billionaire team owners and the millionaire basketball players they own that play for them. For now, it looks like the lockout will only take out the pre-season (and who really needed that long ass pre-season anyway?) but that still leaves many super rich athletes, super unemployed (damn you economy!).
We know what you're thinking "Om my god what are these multi-millionaires (get it, they're rich!) who get paid a disgusting amount of money to play a game going to do!?!"  That wasn't what you were thinking? Damn, you heartless yo!
But seriously, the answer is Hollywood, They're going to Hollywood. Amare Stoudemire, New York Knicks, is making the rounds out in tinsel town (do people still call it that?) pitching a half-hour scripted comedy (we're guessing it's going to be about basketball and uh..a lock out), Meanwhile, Oklahoma City Thunder's Kevin Durant is shooting "Switch" a  body switch comedy where he plays himself opposite Brandon T. Jackson, a fan who "magically" gets his skills.
And a few others, like Philadelphia 76ers forward Elton Brand and Cleveland Cavaliers Baron Davis, are just fronting production companies (which we can't really be down on). Brand  is president of Gibraltar Films, which produced Werner Herzog's 2007 drama Rescue Dawn and Davis co-founded Verso Entertainment, which produced  2008 documentary Crips and Bloods: Made in America.
So there you have it, since they can't play basketball for living, these b-ball players (now we know people still say that!) are going to be Hollywood big-shots. That's a good thing because we would hate to see these guys applying to food-stamps like so many many lazy none athletes.

Stranger Than (Horror) Fiction: Brazilian Doctors Convicted For Organ Harvesting.
You know all those urban legends about people who get their organs harvested while abroad in some strange foreign (Read: Dem don't speak English) country? Well, it's like totally real, almost. Well, at least the part about people selling organs on the black market is.
In Brazil, the big culo capital of the world, three doctors were recently convicted of killing their patience so their kidneys could be sold to "expensive private clinics".
One of the deadly docs was identified as a neurosurgeon who declared a patient brain dead, then proceeded to divvy up the organs for sale. The other two were convicted because they removed the organs before the patient was dead, which basically killed them?
We're guessing these guys didn't really follow that whole "Hippocratic oath" thing too seriously. They'll have plenty of time to study it though as each one of them received a sentence of 17 Years and 6 months in prison

Girl Problem: Does Wearing Make-up Make women More Successful At Work?
Hey, Ladies, Have you ever wondered why nobody at work seems to trust you? Or why they all think you're barely competent enough to change the coffee filter? It maybe because you spend a disturbingly large amount of the work day recapping last nights episode of basketball wives or it could be that you come to work everyday with not an ounce of make-up on your face?
A new study coming out of Boston university recently, says that a little makeup can go a long way for women in the work place. It can make you feel confident and give others a feeling that you're capable, reliable and amiable.
Now some of you plain Jane anti-makeup chix out there are probably already outraged by the mere thought of something so "artificial" determining how your job performance is viewed. Before you dismiss these findings as just another instance of society's dumb focus on superficial nonsense, think about it. Wearing makeup is just like dressing up. It's another part of your wardrobe.
The study goes on to say however, that packing on a ton of the magic stuff gives off the opposite effect of that aforementioned beauty halo. Which can make your trust level decrease.
So it basically comes down to treating how you wear makeup the same way you choose what to wear. That cute sparkly top you got from forever 21 would look totally out of place in you depressing cubicle but a nice cardigan might fit right in. Get the picture?
Just so you know, this study was sponsored by Procter & Gamble, which owns CoverGirl cosmetics so take it all with a grain of salt. Do what ever you want. Wear make-up, don't wear make-up, wear too much of it, either way if you start talking about Basketball wives in the break room we'll have to fire you for incompetents.

Fashion Snapshot: First Lady Michelle Obama Stuns At South Korean Presidents Dinner.
For reasons that should be clearly evident we're, completely in love with first lady Michell Obama. But if you would like one anyway, just take a look at our illustrious Lady O in this stunning plum one-shouldered jersey dress by the Korean-American designer Doo-ri Chung.
Whenever the White House hosts important foreign dignitaries, the first lady typically picks an American designer with a cultural and ethnic background related to that of the visitors country. Just as she did with Naeem Khan, a designer with Indian roots who is based in America, when the prime minister of India visited Washington back in November of 2009. 
Michelle is so beautiful, you don't even notice President Obama who was hosting South Korean president Lee Myung-Bak.  The two heads of state were there to hammer out some sort of trade agreement between their countries that would bring jobs and blah, blah, blahbitty, can we just stare at Michelle?
Interviewed by the NYTimes Style blog, Chung said,
“Purple is the color of royalty, and she wears it beautifully.”

This Looks Good: The Trailer For The New Muppets Movie Is Adorably Awesome!
Over the past couple of months we've seen a slew of clips and spoof videos from "The Muppets" movie. Now, with a the premiere a little over a month away, we get a full length trailer that gives us a much better idea about the plot.
In an effort to save the Muppet Theater from being put out of business by an evil oil man, ultimate Muppet fans set out to reunite Kermit and the gang to stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever.
Jason Segel, Who may remember from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" not only stars in the flick but he also wrote it. And by the looks of the trailer he's aiming straight for our nostalgia bone (those of us in our twenties and thirties have fond memory's of the series). And adding to the must see factor, Flight of the Conchords co-creator James Bobin is directing the film and Conchords star Bret McKenzie acted as music supervisor.
The Muppets come at us this thanksgiving and stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams, along with Kermit, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppet gang.

Oh Baby!: Talk Show Host Wendy Williams Questions Beyonce's Pregnancy.
This "fake baby bump" conspiracy has been buzzing around ever since the "Single Ladies" songstress revealed her pregnancy at last months MTV Video Music Awards.
But what started as the howls of a few conspiracy hounds, has been gaining speed in the entertainment media. In this video, Wendy, gives her own expert analysis (apparently having a baby makes you an expert) on beyonce's baby bump saying,
“I was on bed rest the whole time. I’m not exactly sure. But, I can tell you when I would get out of the bed and sit up at a kitchen table, I wouldn’t be able to sit like that.”
Watching the video, it actually looks like her dress did all the folding and crumpling (the lighting helped out too). It doesn't take a genius to imagine that a pregnant women would wear a rather loose fitting dress that folded as she sat. Secondly, why does everyone give two hoots what's going on in Beyonce's vagina? The only person that matters in this situation is her family and her husband.
But if it gives people a fun little distraction to get their minds off the fact that we're all broke, no sweat off our backs.
What do you think, are you joining the fake baby bump band wagon (whew, say that five times fast)?

Chill MuthaF**ka: Samuel L. Jackson is here to make twitter a little cooler.
Sam Jackson has only been tweeting for less than a day and already he's proven himself to be just as cool in 147 characters as he is on film.
He started his twitter voyage by sending out some pic's from the 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' dressing room. Okay, so it's not exactly the most illuminating Twitter but it's Sam Jackson! He's bound to put us on to some crazy shit in the future.
Speaking of the future, Jackson is set to start filming his role in the new Quentin Tarantino film "Django Unchained" next month. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and Kurt Russell. And we can only hope that he tweets out a bunch of goodies from the set.
So go ahead and follow this MuthaF**ka [@SamuelLJackson]

The House Of Precious: Lee Daniels to bring Gay "Ball" Subculture TV show to Showtime
You remember that movie about the fat overweight girl who got abused by her mother, stole fried chicken and got Aids? Yeah, neither did we. Apparently, it was a pretty hot button movie - the big boned girl, playing the overweight girl in the movie even got an Oscar nomination.
Well anyway, the director of that movie we don't remember, is planning to bring us another hot button project, this time about trannys (Lesbians, Bi's & Gays too but we just love to say "Tranny" )
From:[Deadline]
The contemporary drama, which...Daniels is attached to direct, is set in New York City and centers on the disenfranchised multicultural transgender youth of the Ball subculture, previously portrayed in Jennie Livingston’s 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning.
Today’s underground ball house society consists of New York City’s disadvantaged black, Latino, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual communities who come together to compete for trophies and prizes. They all belong to different fraternity-like “houses,” or “drag families,” that serve as surrogate families for their members banded together under one leader.
__
We bet you didn't know that the ball culture started out in the 1930's in Harlem? What, you did? But did you know they invented "Voguing"? Really, you knew that too? Well I guess there's nothing else we can tell you. Wait, what about Madonna taking the dance into her video "Vogue"? of course you did.
Seriously though, this is kind of major. Depending on how it turns out it can be a huge thing that broadens peoples mind or a hot tranny mess, either way, we're watching. Yet, one can't help but wonder, is this topic too narrow for a mass audience? Does it matter?

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: 7 Reasons Why Your Photographer Hates You.
It's no secret that most people feel like "photography" isn't a real job. It's hard for them not to think that it's mad easy to do, yo! After all, all you have to do is turn on the Black and white function to get a super classy pic, right? Right?
And So when it comes to dealing with people who make their living as photographers, you treat them with the sort of reverence typically reserved for some lowly hobbyist. They slave away at your stupid wedding, snapping your drunk uncle and swatting away the advances of your ugly bridesmaid.
Nope, unless they're super rich and famous (like most creative jobs) photographers get no respect.  So it's no wonder they pretty much have a seething current of hate for you and your obnoxious demands, rude hagg-itude (haggle + Attitude), and over all "UGH" factor.
So stop!, stop it! And if you don't know what we're talking about,  straight from some real photographers [Photozz] here are 7 obnoxious things you do that probably has your photographer wishing he could crop you out - of life.
1. Free Cause It's Me!
The ridiculousness of asking your accountant friend to do your tax for you for free is readily apparent to most people. So is getting your dentist friend to do a bit of free root canal work. For some reason, that doesn’t extend to photographers. This one seems to be unique to photographers too.
2. Must Be The Tools
When a painter comes up with a fantastic painting, do you say, “Wow, you must have a great brush and paints!” This is a pet irritation of a lot of photographers. If you really think that it takes an expensive rig to take a great photograph, then you need to check out what can be done with the humble iPhone.
3. Anybody Can Do It
Well, your brother probably can take photographs at the wedding. Just like he can do your tax. Or fix your car. Of course if you want your car to keep going, or avoid getting slammed by the IRS, then you might like to get a professional to look at your tax return and car. Just like you might like to check out some professionals if you want good wedding photographs. 4. Public: No Pictures!  
The truth is that if a photographer is in a public space in most western countries then they can shoot just about anything. That includes you, security guards, police, children, your house – anything. If they are on private property, then it’s different, but in public there is usually no legal expectation of privacy. (Check the laws in your own country for specifics). That’s not to say they shouldn’t be polite, but rights are a whole different issue to manners. 5. I Call Fake!
A talented photographer knows that getting an image right “in camera” is the best way to end up with a great result. Many are actually very good at it and get stunning images before they get anywhere near a computer. That is what makes them good at their craft. That is why they study. That is why they practice.
6. Be Grateful for the Work and Work Cheap
This one again goes back to professional respect. You don’t ask your dentist for a discount. You don’t ask your child’s teacher to throw in Maths and Science, but don’t charge you for geography. You don’t ask your waiter to throw in dessert for free. So don’t do this to a photographer. If you cannot pay for the service, then don’t ask for it. 7. How Much!?!
Yes, yes, everybody knows a friend of a friend who can do the photography job for a third of the cost. The kicker is that a photography business is an expensive one to run and you get what you pay for. If you’re happy enough to risk your cheap shooter, then go for it. Just don’t use it as a cheap bargaining ploy when you’re talking to a professional.
