Ken Block co-founded DC Shoes. Somehow, he's also one of the world's top rally drivers.
Watch the video. It's SICK. As ol' Kenny boy would say.
Trademark, smug-arse grin? Check. Pap trying to snap him? Check. New-found hobby of papping back at the paps? DEFFO.
From his blog:
So, one week done of principal photography on the feature film Cemetery Junction. Six to go.
For that entire period we have hired a unit photographer who is one set
all day. I discovered a new fun game to play. I make him take pictures
of the paparazzi. We also have an EPK crew. (Electronic Press Kit) They
record interviews with the cast and get B-roll on DV cameras.) I will
start interviewing the paps too maybe. Possibly follow them home.
Here is the first in my series of pictures of people who hide behind walls for a living.
Michael Bay is DA MAN. And Transformers 2 is awesome. Well, apart from the bit where Shia ends up in a low-budget robo-heaven chatting to some dead metal.
But anyway, turns out that on May 4 at 19:07 exactly, Bay wasn't happy with Paramount's efforts in promoting the film, telling them they were "lame" and that the print campaign was an "abject failure".
But all was well again on June 6, when he emailed again, to pat them on the back and congratulate them on bringing their "A game".
Read the first email (pdf): Download Michael Bay is angry.
Now read the second one (also a pdf) when he realises they've made him another few hundred million bucks: Download Michael Bay is not angry anymore.

And he's done an ace job of making himself look like Elijah Wood.
More trippy pics and deets on the new Tim Burton epic over at USA Today.
QUITE a mouthful. But what else do you expect from a bike that's built for the military? Even if we're almost 99.99 per cent certain the military would have almost no use for a 24-speed mountain bike.
But it does fold. And it's made of aluminium. So maybe you could throw it at an approaching enemy.
Yours for eight hundred bucks (£484) here.
Just 11 inches tall, weighs a touch under four kilos. RAD.
Midge is a Chihuahua, if you hadn't noticed, and recently clocked up her first solo drug conviction after discovering drugs hidden in a burglar's vehicle. (There's no way you could have noticed that - don't be too hard on yourselves).
Not sure she should be driving, though. She can't even reach the pedals.

Retro D-SLRs are already big business - if you can afford them. Now the E-P1 makes them a bit cheaper, but no less cool.
"The 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens camera features in-body image stabilization, a 3-inch HyperCrystal LCD with Live View function, a dust reduction system, and compatibility with a selection of interchangeable lenses."
And it does HD video recording.
Suh-WEET. Michael Cera has posted this epic announcement on his blog:
Hey. So, I’m sure many of you have been wondering what’s the deal with Superbad 2. Is it happening or what? Am I right? Well, the thing with it is that most of the people from Superbad are far to busy with other things in their careers to sign up for it right now. We may still have it in the future, but it depends on what happens. For the plot of Superbad 2, we are thinking of having Evan and Seth begin college. We’re planning for Seth to want to get babes so he joins cheerleading (still not sure about that). Evan is trying to keep his relationship with Becca going strong, but meets someone which makes him have to choose between them. Evan also trys-out for a football team, when he gets in, he is surprised, then finds out he is in a team with midgets. For Foggel and the cops, they go in for military training (we’re going to build on to that later). We really hope to go forward with this film. So far we have me and Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan signed on. It may take a while, but keep your hopes up.

MEGA.

Like Anchorman, but in a used car dealership. With Jeremy Piven being Jeremy Piven.
Hit up the official site here. No. We are NOT the official website.
Easy mistake, though.
Is Mariah Carey looking ACE again? Is that why this new album art shot up on Twitter?
Or did we only notice because of the rising damp on the wall behind her? Looks serious. Anything that high has to be serious. But then she's only about six inches tall, so maybe it's just above the skirting.
Best call it in anyway. Insurers want to know about this stuff.
More on her Twitter here. But we weren't looking, right? We just, um, found it.
Hmm. Might be time to cancel the subscription.
Actually, we DO need to get to know our inner bro. And what with Brüno's indispensable sartorial advice (even if SBC has just rehashed the Marie Claire gags), they can keep our cash. For now.
Over to Brüno in US GQ:
Dear Brüno, is it okay to “manscape” down there?
It’s more zan okay; it is most essential. Be careful if you do it
yourself, though—yesterday ich tried to self-wax mein arschenhaller und
glued meinself to ze bed. Manscaping ist important, but not as crucial
as getting regular anal bleaching. If Brüno didn’t get his schmutziger
arschenhaller bleached twice a month, his shtinker vould resemble Dizzy
Gillespie during a trumpet solo. In Austria anal bleaching ist
considered so important zat it’s paid for by ze state. In fact, you
cannot run for office if you don’t have a vhite arschwitz. Indeed,
ex-chancellor Kurt Waldheim vas elected on ze back of a prishtine anus.
Zere are added benefits to getting ze bleaching—on my last session,
mein beautician, Klaus, found ze long-lost head of a David Beckham
action figure up zere.

We know. Weird. But bear with us.
"The story begins in 1941 at an army depot in Seneca County, NY when some soldiers noticed a couple white deer roaming inside their 24-square-mile fenced-off base. Realizing that something strange (and wonderful) was afoot, the General ordered the soldiers to protect the white deer. While the soldiers continued to hunt brown deer inside the confines of the reserve, the white ones were allowed to breed. With predators were kept at bay by a giant fence, and pressure put on the brown deer by hunting, the white deer population was able to explode. (These blanched deer are not albinos, as you might assume, but rather possess two copies of another rare recessive gene for whiteness.) There are now 200 of them roaming the grounds, the largest herd of white deer anywhere in the world."

JJ Abrams. Tom Cruise. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 4 O'CLOCK!
Well, according to American TV Guide:
"I am incredibly honoured that Tom has invited me back as a producer on 'Mission Impossible 4'," Abrams told them. "Tom and I have come up with a really cool idea we are pursuing."
But that's it. He's not willing to give up the deets on that multi-million dollar franchise-extending, guaranteed blockbuster "idea". Typical.
How do you party after scoring a world record £80m deal with Real Madrid? By scoring again... with Paris Hilton. And her sister. And $20,000 worth of champagne.
LIVIN' THE DREAM.
Because it's a bit like she fell over and some kids ran up and started crayoning all over her. But whatever. She's dropped the clothes for the new issue of PHOTO and gone full-ink. It's like full-retard, but with tatts.
That doesn't make sense.

In honour of General Motors becoming the fourth largest bankruptcy in history, here's some more businesses-going-under doom and gloom - the biggest sinking ships of business history (note: this has nothing to do with actual ships). Click on the pic to go MASSIVE.
One upside: it looks nice.
And it's cool mainly because it's got such a ridiculous name. But also because it looks like that.
It's electric, made from recycled materials, has three individually suspended cutting decks, an LCD display that tells you how fast you're caning it across the lawn, cutting height, cutting width, remaining battery time, service needs and warns you about objects - like kids - that are too close. You navigate around using paddles on the steering wheel. Paddles!
Want one. Want one. Want one. Don't have a lawn. Still want one.

But that's because he's GOING DOWN.
Busted, Philip. BUSTED.
Let's remember some of his better hair days:

Not complaining.

Unbelievable. Unless it had happened. And was then posted on YouTube.
"Anthony Van Loo (Roeselare Belgian first division) got a heart
attack in the 44th minute of the game. He has a heart condition and he
got an implanted defibrillator. This automatically gave his heart a
shock after 4 seconds (that's the movement you see) and this saved him."

In a word: exciting. In five words: where's the rest of it?
The Mickster's playing Whiplash - a bad ass with some gadgets of his own.
"The villain's alter ego, Ivan Vanko, is a Russian who 'has constructed
his own version of a suit,' Favreau says. Among the creative
innovations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit's glowing chest
piece, that are expected to keep Iron Man cracking."
More here. And check out Favreau's Twitter here.
