The less we say to prepare your for this cock-rock tribute to Hollywood's most accomplished practitioner of the blowing-up-shit arts the better, as we hope you'll be open to experiencing its glory without the interference of prematurely heightened expectations. Have we already said too much? Probably. Enjoy, and don't let the suspicion that the celebrated fauxteur himself somehow commissioned the piece himself reduce your inevitable rapture.
You know you've reached the most elite circles of the fashion world when you're covering a show by a seventh-place-finishing "Project Runway" contestant at 10 A.M. on the first day of Fashion Week. For such a momentous event, we sent Gizmodo's Adam Frucci and lovable videographer Richard Blakeley to the dregs of Chelsea to try to find some value in it all.
It was a party for a photographer, seemingly attended solely by photographers. We made a video of people photographing themselves and each other at this party. Hit play and then take a picture of your computer. If you send it to us and we post it, maybe we'll create some kind of rift in the space/time continuum.
Many thanks to the alert reader who informed us that Factory Girl star and former Jude Law nanny-zapping victim Sienna Miller could be heard saying "fuck" on the Today show this morning in the brief interval between the video cutting out and the show going to a commercial, for we feel it's the responsibility of everyone with access to the YouTubes to share such special moments with the world. We're grateful that there are several panes of expletive-resistant glass between Today's visiting, potty-mouthed talent and the Rockefeller Center tourists who gather behind them in the hopes of getting some fleeting screen time, for we'd hate for their trips to the big city to be ruined by the shocking profanity being uttered by famous people whose internal censors have failed them.
Tess Lindgren is a Parsons student with bracelets, ribbon-dreds, and an upper lip piercing that doubles as a speech impediment enhancer. How much easier can a target be? Seriously, we've done a full 180 and now we love Tess and are currently looking at tickets to Minnesota on Priceline so that we can hit the same secondhand store that her coat comes from. But after the jump, Intern Alexis has Allison Castillo and Chris DeLuca share their thoughts, which are a tiny bit less charitable.
When you read the words "young, single, and living in the city" on a computer screen, don't you just want to gouge your eyes out (a little)? Well, you must not be the kind of under-35 year old the AP is going for with its new youth-targeted ASAP service, which brings us the videoblog Reel City Tales. Our heroine, one Donna Arazie, is going to "vlog" (ugh!) about "men, careers, money, [and] big decisions" — like whether or not to booty-call. Giving credit/blame where it's due, Arazie admits in her intro post,"Sure, there was "Sex and the City," but that's so 2003." Omg, you guys, let's totally all watch this vlog on our portable handheld devices! Shoot. us. now.

Many of you have contacted us, curious about Starved, still-single douche par excellence Eric Schaeffer's FX series about his bout with manorexia. We assumed that you were also interested in watching him jerk off using olive oil as lube. That's your warning. You've been warned. Splashguards up!
Ball is the founder — the big cheese, the super hefe, if you will — of Rock & Republic jeans, and in this clip, he's talking about a shoot that fashion photographer Marcus Klinko had just completed for his $200 denim brand's Spring collection. Ball seems pleased with Klinko's work, right? "I look forward to working with him again and again?" Well, that wasn't quite how things ended up going down. Oh, and 'paying for this whole thing'? That didn't really happen either . . .
You thought filling in for Matt Lauer for a whole entire week would be easy, didn't you, David Gregory? Just banter with the ladies, read the teleprompter (or whatever), say "and on a lighter note" whenever someone tosses to you . . . yeah, you know the drill! You've done it before! Yet somehow, things started to go horribly wrong this morning, and then they just didn't stop. If we were you, we'd blame it on Janice Dickinson.

Our simple words would do this no justice. Here, New York, is Ian Benardo, 'American Idol' casualty. Watch it now!
Rudy Giuliani made an appearance on "Today" this morning to discuss President Bush's State of the Union address. The appearance fueled speculation that - holy crap, did he have some kind of eye job? Watch this brief clip from the interview and see if you can count how many times his peepers pop out or blink. He's definitely looking a little softer around the edges. It's kind of creepy. Okay, it's a lot creepy.
NICK DOUGLAS — I don't watch Lonelygirl15 either. Okay, like, two episodes, and they didn't entertain me. So here are seven YouTube stars, all less known than her (though you definitely saw a few of them before) who will rock you in the face.
