Jared Leto Shows Off His Skirt

Actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto posted a fun photo on his official Twitter profile yesterday with the caption “Real Men Wear Skirts” … Um … yeah, I’m really gonna look at the skirt he’s wearing in this photo. Just the skirt … nothing else … just Jared Leto‘s skirt. MMMM … [...]

Halle Berry, who we last saw tooling around SoCal on the back of boyfriend Olivier Martinez‘s motorcycle, decided to ditch her man so that she could take her only begotten daughter Nahla Ariela to the Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in Beverly Hills, CA for an afternoon of pumpkin picking fun yesterday afternoon … behold:

Awww … so cute. I gotta say, I much prefer photos of Halle with Nahla over photos of Halle with almost anyone else. Little Miss Nahla is just too cute for words. It really looks like mother and daughter had a grand time together :D

The Wheels On The Bus Go SCREECH! Driver Uses Two Cell Phones At Once!

Italians are known for talking with their hands, but maybe this Roman bus driver really should invest in some handsfree modes of communication - especially when he is working.
Check out this video of a bus driver using not one, but two cell phones while cruising Rome. (above)
FYI - He's been fired!

Still won't compare to the original, but we think the kiddies are all going to like this one!

Jamorama Guitar Lessons The Fun and Easy Way to Learn Guitar

Rap music, which traces its origin to the African-American culture, is now allegedly a chaotic-sounding-genre of music with provoking lyrics and videos showing random violence, gang intimidation and such themes. The earlier Hip-hop-rap scene of the 50s and the 60s spoke about hopes, dreams, ideals and aspirations of both the black and white teens in the quality music by the artists of that era. Early black music united the American youth and the country's choice of music was almost parallel.

Here in the US we have the Got Milk? campaign … in the UK, they call it the Make Mine Milk campaign. The campaigns to get kids to drink milk may have different names but they have the same goal and the same milk’stache gimmick. In new poster artwork released in the UK this month, Green Lantern (played by Ryan Reynolds) is rockin’ the milk’stache … which you can see below.

Hal Jordan is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris, if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax…he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Hee hee … I kinda love the silliness of this campaign poster. Yes, the milk’stache looks funny on most people’s lips … but on Green Lantern, it’s just too much. I’m not sure if this kind of stuff actually gets kids to drink milk but … more power to them. What do y’all think of Green Lantern‘s love of cow juice? Are you a fan?

Paiste Cymbals

The history of Gretsch drums goes back to the 1870s, when Friedrich Gretsch left Germany for a new life in America and settled in Brooklyn. His first job was with the Albert Houdlett and Son company, making drums and banjos. At the age of 27 Friedrich opened his own shop on South 4th Street, Brooklyn, in 1883, and was also involved in the production of drums, tambourines and toy instruments for various wholesalers.

Cultivating Creativity Part II

When learning how to draw a face you need to understand the structure, proportions and the various parts that make up that face. Before I offer you some kind of guideline for the structure, proportions and the various parts of the face, I need to make it clear, that whilst it is really important to get a good understanding of the components that make up the face, it is not an exact science by any means. If you have ever researched the topic you'll know what I mean, you'll find there is a lot of conflicting information and many offering some kind of proof to back up their own particular theory. I am sure no one is deliberately trying to mislead us of course; I believe it is because humans are very diverse beings and there are just so many variables to take into account.

Reflections Upon the University Level Art Class

As we progress on in our succession of art we boldly venture upon the 17th century Baroque style. This artistic endeavor was initially inspired by the mandates set forth by the Roman Catholic Church as they laid down specific rules which applied to art work. Their demands to the artist were that any work produced should be understandable to not merely the informed members of the society but to the illiterate as well. This moved art from a pure philosophical viewpoint to one of action.

How to Play Craps Using Optimal Strategy

If there were to exist one method by which a human being could be humbled it would be to position them in the center of a huge medieval cathedral such as Durham Cathedral. This Romanesque style cathedral was constructed between the years 1093 and 1133. As Sir Walter Scott so aptly remarked, "Half church of God, half castle "in reference to its immense size and purpose. To visualize what Scott had in mind consider for a moment a structure with an amazing length of 469 feet and a height of 73 feet with its towers extended upward to 218 feet. It is truly a magnificent creation. Located in the city of Durham, England this exquisite building is the seat for the Anglican Bishop of Durham.

While David and I spent most of the day at home together we managed to get out of the house last night for a pizza dinner date at Prizzi’s Piazza before going to the ArcLight in Hollywood, CA to see the final Dragon Tattoo film The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (Luftslottet som Sprangdes):

I am very happy to report that Hornet’s Nest is a fantastic close to a fantastic movie trilogy. The first film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is by far my fave of the bunch, The Girl Who Played with Fire and this final film Hornet’s Nest really work together to tell the amazing story of Lisbeth Salander. Salander has quickly become one of my fave fictional characters and I have enjoyed seeing her live in the acting prowess of Noomi Rapace. The original Swedish films have set a very high benchmark for the US version films to reach … but I am quite pleased that I was able to see the original films, in their original form well in advance of any remakes.

Tonight, David and I will be making our way to The Wiltern to see Florence + the Machine and we couldn’t be more excited! Mondays aren’t always the best days … but today promises to be a doozy :)

Training to Become a Successful Songwriter

If you want to write a catchy song, or next time when you're listening to your favourite tune, why not think whether the song has a Verse-Chorus or Verse-Verse-Bridge structure. It will help you to appreciate the message that you or the songwriter is trying to portray, how the overall message is related to the song's title and the feelings evoked throughout as you listen.

It's been four years since the duo have put out any new music, but still fans were hoping for the best. Unfortunately, we come bearing bad news.

As of this morning, according to the band's official website, The White Stripes have officially broken up. Meg and Jack White have decided to go their separate ways and continue to pursue other musical ventures without the other. On the site's main page they explain:

"The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health. It’s for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way…Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from the White Stripes in their Vault subscription record club, as well as through regular channels…The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”

All good things must come to an end, we guess.

We wish them both luck that they find happiness in their new musical lives and hope that perhaps one day, their paths cross again.

Is It Worth Getting A Live Party Band?

In the eyes of some enthusiasts, classics often exhibit both familiarity and novelty, and the Rickenbacker 360/12 12 string electric guitar exemplifies just that. As with all 12 string guitars, the 360/12 is shaped very much like a typical Rickenbacker guitar and plays just like about any other 12 string electric in a variety of popular tunings such as standard and various open tunings. It's unique and novel feature comes in the form of a headstock that fits all 12 tuners or machine heads into a six-string guitar headstock format.
