LADY GAGA COVERS APRIL 2010 Q MAGAZINE W/ “SOMETHING EXTRA” IN HER PANTS...!!!

Pop superstar Lady Gaga dons the cover of the April 2010 issue of the UK’s Q Magazine topless, and with a little something “extra” in her pants. Making light of rumors suggesting that she could possibly be a man or a “hermaphrodite,” the “Bad Romance” singer decided it’d be funny to wear a dildo on the cover of the mag.

“I want to wear a d**k strapped to my vagina. We all know that one of the biggest talking points of the year was that I have a d**k, so why not give them what they want? I also carry myself onstage in a masculine way and sing in a low register. This is not of nowhere, right? I want to comment on that in a beautiful, artistic way. How I wanna show it. And I want to call this piece ‘Lady Gaga Dies Hard’. Come on, come see me try to persuade everyone to let me wear a penis.”

But even though she has a d*ck in her pants in her cover shoot, Gaga says she still believes in tradition.

She said: “Well, I believe in certain institutions: cooking, serving dinner, taking care of my family. So I consider myself quite the lady.”

Be on the look-out for Lady G, who is currently on tour in Europe and is rumored to bring her “Monster Ball” tour back to the U.S. this summer. And in even more exciting news for Gaga fans, her new “Telephone” music video featuring Beyonce and appearances/cameos from Tyrese, Semi Precious Weapons and whoever else Lady Gaga and Beyonce decide to to surprise us with, is scheduled to premiere within the next few days to a week!

MGMT "CONGRATULATIONS" ALBUM COVER!!!

Previewed is a look into the cover art from MGMT’s upcoming album release “Congratulations,” due out in stores
April 13th, 2010. The art was done by famed surrealist cartoonist Anthony Ausgang, interviewed below courtesy
of Daniel Lahoda from JetSetGraffiti.

You are one of the original “Lowbrow” guys and have watched the whole arc of this movement. What are your
thoughts on how the scene has evolved?

Lowbrow Art was originally based on a wide assortment of aesthetic insurgencies, like the surf and hotrod subculture. Many of those cultural influences are now outdated and have been replaced by more recent stimulations. For example, the major influence that Saturday morning cartoons had on Lowbrow has been replaced by the new youth culture’s video and computer games. There were also certain orphaned subcultures that were initially attracted to Lowbrow as a good place to enter the Fine Art world. As time passed some of these subcultures, like Graffiti, moved away from the Lowbrow and became their own art movements.

PIANO TABLE!!!

Another good idea. The Piano Table was designed by Georg Bohle and is meant for city apartments where size always seems to
be an issue. The table is made out of Oakwood with an electric piano built in. $6000.

SONY ALPHA DSLR!!!

Great looking concept by Sony. The power of a SLR which can still fit in your pocket and unlike the Sigma DP series, you will be
able to change lenses which is definitely a plus.

ASTON MARTIN RAPIDE WATCH KEY!!!

Yes, you read it right. This watch by Jaeger-LeCoultre($33,000) can be used as the key to your Aston Martin. It will lock/unlock it, flash the headlights(probably not necessary unless you park your A.M. at the dealership) and start the car. All of this while remaining quite stylish. Bond would be very proud!

ANGRY OFFICIAL VERSION WITH ARTWORK!!!

MUSIC VIDEO: KANYE WEST – "COLDEST WINTER” + DRAKE SPEAKS HIGHLY OF YEEZY’S NEW ALBUM!!!

Kanye West is preparing to put out his 5th studio album later this year. But in the meantime, Yeezy released this dark, chilling music video for “Coldest Winter,” a track from his last album 808’s & Heartbreak (released in 2008) to hold fans over for what “is going to be the best hip-hop albums in the last 10 years,” according to Drake who talked about Kanye’s new project in the Young Money rapper’s piece for GQ Magazine.

The So Far Gone rapper revealed to GQ that he’d spent some time in Hawaii recently with West working on his album as well as the Chicago superstar’s next effort. The Lil Wayne protégé may be hip-hop’s next big thing, but he told the magazine — which featured the Toronto native in a dress-shirt selection photo spread — when it comes to dividing ‘Ye’s attention between both projects, it’s not exactly a 50/50-type thing. “More like we work on his album until he gets tired,” Drake joked about the process. “His album is going to be one of the best hip-hop albums of the last 10 years.”

Kobe Bryant Featured on March 2010 Cover of GQ Magazine

NBA star Kobe Bryant is featured on the cover of the March 2010 issue of GQ Magazine. Along with the cover, the issue includes an in depth article on the basketball giant, where Kobe and Gentleman’s Quarterly discuss a number of things, including that beef he had with Shaq and how tight he is with his wife Vanessa. Check out a snippet of the interview below…

"What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me. That dark side that’s coming to get you – ha ha! I’m not losing this fucking game – that’s not who I am. That’s part of me. Off the court, I’m completely different.”

ON HIS PAST “BEEF” WITH SHAQ: It was Bryant’s fourth championship and the most satisfying, because it was his first without longtime teammate, archrival, and overall irritant Shaquille O’Neal. (Shaq had publicly mocked Bryant for failing to win without him, chanting in a bizarre karaoke rap: Kobe, tell me how my ass taste?) Now that he’s shut Shaq up, Bryant can look back on their time together with newfound perspective. “The biggest mistake I made was responding to what he was saying about me. Once I responded, now that made it seem like I was part of that whole thing. It’s like, Okay, these two are against each other. As opposed to just staying quiet, which is what I’ve been doing the last few years. Let him say what he needs to say.”

ON HIS WIFE VANESSA: They met in 1999. He was a global superstar working on a rap album, never to be released, and she was a high school student dancing in a rap video. They were engaged quickly, over the strenuous objections of his parents, who didn’t attend the wedding in April 2001. Most reports said the Bryants thought Vanessa too young. Whatever the cause, there was an ugly split—which has apparently healed, because Bryant says he and his parents are tight: “I talked to my mom today.”
