Burn Hollywood, BURN!

I was in LA this week. Had a few memorable nights, but the one that will stay with me was when Raphie (who runs my LA office) lost his mind at Apl.de.ap's (From the Black Eyed Peas) birthday party.  On a double-dog-dare, Raphie ran up on stage-- with zero authorization and managed to get himself in the middle of the party.  Whoa. The running man????  Raph--you could of got your ass beat for that one!!!!

Than Raph proceeded to violate the cake with his face.  Pictured above is Raph (face in cake--foul ball!), Apl.de.ap and the creator of the most beautiful mess of our day--my friend Chad Hurley (founder of YouTube).

"I wouldn't hit on 20," Favre said. "But I sure would hit on 16."

Brett Favre has Balls, no doubt. He is a gunslinger, who can't help himself-- even when he is winning...he has to risk it-- like betting on 20 in a blackjack game of 21. Maybe that is why we love him, and love to hate him. Atleast the Jets won. Phew---

Above: A pass by Favre was picked off by Jabari Greer and he returned the interception 42 yards for a touchdown to make it a 23-17 game with 10:53 remaining. It was the third time this year that Favre had a pick returned for a score. Bet on 20????

Yesterday afternoon, 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, on the road, up by 13 points, first down for the New York Jets in their own end of the field.

Kanye channels Jimi Hendrix for new Heartless single

Kanye West definently gets the power of nudity lately.  Considering the look and feel of his last video "Love Lockdown",  and the look of his upcoming single "Heartless"-- he is clearly channeling the rawness of the 1960's Rock and Mod movement with a splash of Stanley Kubrik's trippyness.  Peep the cover of Jimi Hendrix's classic album "Electric Ladyland" above...and images from Kanye's new video "Heartless" below.

I'm hyped to see the video when it is done!   Kanye doesn't allow the industry to put him in a box.  He keeps stretching the boundaries.  I always say it...Kanye is the John Lennon of Hip-Hop.  Expect the unexpected.

Banksy is the artworlds Batman---

He's a genius.  So simple. So smart.  He did this  "pop-up" street art installation--- which poses as a innocent pet store on 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City.  It is a populist's version of Damien Hirst's exhibition at the Seagrams Building(Lever House) last year.  Banks is pushing it to another level!  The concept speaks for itself.  And the tension of who he is, and how he pulled this off really represents what is in the air for street art....and where it can and will go.

From Banksy:

“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."
