Former Mudslide (I guess that's a band that existed?) frontman Steve Thunderbolt is ready to rock your face off with a new project he's putting together, and
this is your golden opportunity to be a part of it. IT'S ONLY BEEN ATTEMPTED ONCE BEFORE IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF MUSIC! He may have blond hair, but he doesn't do glam songs: he's all thrash and metal. Just one thing: no blacks allowed, so don't even bother to respond if you're black. He's not racist, though. It's just a drugs and safety issue, as he practices in his home.

Terry Glenn Doxey is a selfless, loving, self-loving boyfriend who wanted to do nothing more than provide comfort and support to his incarcerated girlfriend, and now
he's been arrested for felony indecent exposure. The 47-year-old Doxey's girlfriend is serving time in a Michigan jail, and he decided the best way to help her through this difficult time was to pleasure himself in his car in the jail's parking lot while one of the vehicle's interior lights was on, giving not only his girlfriend but all of her fellow inmates a show.

An Israeli fashion magazine called
BelleMode is set to
publish a provocative spread that will surely upset the conservative Haredim, or ultra-Orthodox contingency. The spread features a number of scantily clad men and women posing provocatively (and sexily!) in outfits that resemble the clothing favored by Haredim, except with some minor differences. Like, some of the shirts are see-through. And some of the models have forgotten to wear their pants.
More of the pics available here.

Last night, on the eve of New York Fashion Week, I attended
Vice's 2012 Fashion Issue party. It's a
Vice party -a doggy fashion show party, no less-so I expected the self-serious mob of ripped tights and v-neck shirts in the same way I expected the floppy-hat wearing doorgirl struggling to read from the VIP list. I even expected the promise of an open bar until midnight to mysteriously and abruptly end at 11. I had imagined Westminster meets Lincoln Center meets a sterilized petting zoo. What I got was the double-sided dildo scene from
Requiem for a Dream.

In 2007
Rolling Stone published a
devastating investigative piece on pig factory farms in the United States that made Upton Sinclair's
The Jungle look like a pamphlet for Omaha Steaks. How devastating? Since reading it I am still barely able to consume pork products unless they're on some Williamsburg/
Portlandia tip where the waiter is like, "This bacon comes from a pig named Steve that was raised on a farm one hour outside of Albany and fed on a diet of organic Georgia green grass." Unless I'm drunk or hungover, in which case I'll eat the dirtiest of dirty bodega bacon.

The release of images of
U.S. Marines with a Nazi SS flag has forced the U.S. Marine Corps to announce two things: First, that it does not condone the use of Nazi iconography. Second, that it is possible to have "no malicious intent" when displaying the SS symbol because some Marines have reinterpreted it to symbolize "Scout Sniper."

Recently Snooki and JWOWW gave an interview where Snooki said she is bisexual (no, Snooki, you just like to make out with girls every once in awhile when you're drunk) and they both alleged that reality show Gargamel, The Situation, has gay tendencies. Well, now he's pissed.

Greg Kelly, NYC Fox News anchor and son of police commissioner Ray Kelly, is
off the hook on
rape charges after police decided that his accuser actually had a consensual encounter with him, then changed her story when her boyfriend found out. Fine. Only Kelly and the woman really know what happened. But why is the New York Post such an extremely
gleeful Greg Kelly defender?

If you tune into Fox News or Conservative talk radio, you're not likely to have to wait a long time before they mention the Liberal Media. They talk about it as if it's a monolithic, cohesive organization whose aim is to brainwash the American public so they can install a Tsar atop a new world order that forces people to gay marry and use energy efficient lightbulbs. In addition, Conservative politicians never miss a chance to dismiss a story as coming from the Liberal Media if it happens to cast them in any kind of negative light. Here are a couple of things that are infuriating about this.

Lindsay threw the parties along with another preschool teacher, Audrey Beidleman Grabarkiewicz, who will face less severe charges because she, apparently, showed a little more restraint. The U.K.'s
