Instagram’s most famous animal rescue foundation is beloved by celebrities and millions of fans, and completely and utterly terrifying. Scrolling through the Black Jaguar-White Tiger™ feed is like seeing the beginning of Grizzly Man play out on social media.
Using indie video game designer Phil Fish as an example, this video explains the cycle of fame and hate, and how it generates more and more fame. Why do we hate some famous people so much? Why does hate generate even more attention and fame? It's a fascinating process.
Here's a little something for the impatient Sherlock fans: via the Wrap, it's our first image of Benedict Cumberbatch as computer pioneer Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Nice suspenders, dude.
Peter O'Toole, one of the best stage and screen actors ever, has died at the age of 81, according to his agent. Though he was nominated eight times for an Academy Award, O'Toole never received one, which is so absurd that it deserves its own Monty Python sketch. For some good Sunday reading, check out Gay Talese's …
Miley Cyrus in a thong. Ke$ha in a thong. Rihanna in a thong. Lady Gaga in a thong. Miley Cyrus in pasties. Nicki Minaj in pasties. Miley barebreasted, Rihanna topless. The young women on today's pop charts are stripping down, right before our eyes. And you know what? It's not very interesting.
Yesterday Sinéad O'Connor told Miley Cyrus to stop behaving like a dumb prostitute, but in a motherly way. Cyrus replied making fun of her past mental health issues. Now O'Connor threatens to sue the devil child, which has prompted Cyrus to reply with the twattest of tweets:

Last night at the 65th annual Emmy Awards, there were plenty of nice, safe, beautiful gowns… But the red carpet also saw a few ugly dresses and ill-conceived ensembles. Let's just jump right in, shall we?
It was really just a matter of time before Rihanna's notorious Instagram account helped police solve an international crime, wasn't it? There's always so much going on in her pictures, from giant spliff-lighting to exotic-animal caressing — eventually, one of those Instagrams was going to reveal, Blow-Up-style, a…
Did an exotic actress from Vienna, considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood in the 1940s, really invent wireless? Not exactly, but the non-sensationalized facts of the matter are no less fascinating, involving Hollywood, the World War II Axis Powers, and remote control technology.
Last night, the Church of Scientology held its 44th Anniversary Gala — nicknamed the "huh, I didn't realize that person was a Scientologist" mixer — in Los Angeles. Tom Cruise was apparently busy piloting Xenu's personal DC-8 into the far reaches of the galaxy, but Scientology backup quarterback John Travolta was…

Let's just say you're a 14-year-old actor/rapper — the son of an actor/rapper and an actress/singer — and you're dating a 15-year-old pseudo-Kardashian.

Fashion writer Suzy Menkes says that during the Met Ball, Madonna climbed on the Temple of Dendur to get a better view of Kanye West's performance. And that she wasn't wearing any underwear while she did it.
2012 was a pretty epic year for visual trickery. We stared through telescopes, transfixed by Venus' cosmic trick of the light; gaped in disbelief at a Rubik's Cube that wasn't; and watched with morbid curiosity as celebrities transformed into grotesque mutations of their former selves.
