Above is a photograph of Phil Specter during his court trial. The photo below is his post-conviction mugshot where wigs aren't allowed. No glamour shots for convicted murderers, kids, although both photos are really a big Hair Fail.

T-Pain shares with the world his Big Ass Chain.
An amusing article with TV actor Mike Doyle whose recurring role as Ryan O’Halloran, a forensics expert on "Law and Order: SVU" came to an end tonight in the season finale. That makes it seven on-screen deaths for Doyle now.
“I’ve been shot with a shotgun, shot with a machine gun. I’ve been blown up in a boat. I’ve been burned in a submarine fire. I’ve been strangled and today, stabbed.”
He paused, counting on his fingers.
“Oh — and I was electrocuted on a fence. After being gang-raped.”
SO MAD I MISSED THIS PARTY!!!1!

How many of those braces that are part of his trademark look do you think Larry King owns? In a Q&A for TIME, he responds:
Never counted 'em. But my guess would be--there are suspenders in New York and Washington and, of course, at my home in Los Angeles--150. But they can't be clip-ons. Every pair of pants I buy--jeans, anything--we sew in the suspender buttons.
Now you know. You're welcome. Now go away.

[Hey Munira: Why don't you hire Ryan Gosling to help you move to your new apartment at the end of this month? Actor Ryan Gosling was spotted in the East Village recently with a moving company Steinway Movers as part of his research into his next role in which he plays, yup, a mover. Here he received a bouquet of flowers from "Susan" a longtime neighborhood local. How convenient the company's phone number is right in the photo. I suspect they'll receive an uptick in phone calls from women requesting a very specific mover.
Apropos of nothing, other than Moye's wrath. Megan Fox wearing something on the set of something. More photos here.
Surprised she doesn't appear more often on Us Versus Them.

He gave me advice, like: “Talk low, talk slow, and don’t say too fucking much,” and “Never wear suede shoes, because one day, Michael, you’ll be taking a piss, and the guy next to you will recognize you, and he’ll turn toward you and say, ‘Michael Caine!’ and piss all over your shoes.” I couldn’t make this shit up.

Time's TV critic James Poniewozik ponders this question (I shared the Susan Boyle clip over at Sundance Channel). He writes that the spread both online and in "replays on talk shows, news shows, and on and on" of dowdy Susan Boyle's appearance on Britain's Got Talent eclipses a behemoth such as the Super Bowl audience and suggests that "the growing Boyle phenomenon...shows that mass-media experiences still exist in the fragmented-media era—they're just different."
The 30 second sound bite has now been replaced by a 30 second video moment that "tell a story in a short time [with] a character, conflict, triumph and resolution in scant minutes."

Brilliant photographer and artist Shawn Mortensen passed away yesterday.
Particularly renowned for his portraits of musicians, artists, and entertainers, Shawn photographed a stunning array of pop culture demigods in his 20+ year career including Keith Haring, Tupac, Henry Rollins, James Brown, The Notorious BIG, Bjork, Jun Takahashi, Leo Fitzpatrick, Christopher Wool, Mark Gonzales, Ed Ruscha, Vivienne Westwood, The Bad Brains, Dash Snow, Grandmaster Flash, Neil Young, MIA, John Lee Hooker, Nigo, Sofia Coppola, Agnes B., Sonic Youth, The Beastie Boys, Keith Richards, Chloe Sevigny, The Foo Fighters, Everlast, Kraftwerk, Wu Tang Clan, and The Sex Pistols, to name but a few. Shawn was also a successful commercial photographer who worked with clients like SUPREME and NIKE, and publications like VIBE, and I-D Magazine, where his streetwise eye was a highly prized commodity.
You probably recognize this iconic photograph of his:
Ruan Milborrow and Mark Nightingale at Mr.H created witty postcards for their client, department store Harvey Nichols where they will be sold later this week.
