Occupy The Wall On 9th Street: Protests Come to East Village’s Charas Center

Protestors took to the East Village on Sunday afternoon to beat on the walls of the empty Charas Community Center, on 9th Street and Avenue B to demand its reinstatement to the people. In what could have passed for OWS looking for a residence, demonstrators held a traditional rally with a human microphone, music and of course, the drum circle. This time however, they bought their own batons in the hope of  ”turning the wall into a drum”, which unfortunately for the neighbors they achieved. Read More

Ezra Miller

The Most Misunderstood Kid In America? Ezra Miller's Star is on the Rise.

At the recent New York premiere of We Need To Talk About Kevin, a scruffy looking kid with thrift store apparel and long-unattended to hair, told The Observer of the decision he’s made to never play a character  he doesn’t deem “honest”. We had just seen him depict an intense psychological battle with his on screen mother, Tilda Swinton, which concluded in the most unforgiving of ways. Read More

Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson Shows You The Woman Under the Meat

Lady Gaga x Terry Richardson is a photographic glimpse into the woman behind the meat-wearing, coffin-bearing, gregariously surreal pop singer. It launched yesterday at the New Museum, much to the delight of New York’s Little Monsters.

This hardback begins with a short address, entitled “Terry And Me,” which talks of the bond the two of them forged while Mr. Read More

The World Premiere of Scorcese’s Hugo

The Ziegfeld Theatre was the chosen venue for the world premiere of Martin Scorcese‘s Hugo, his first venture into 3D cinema. Cast and crew, along with the finest that New York has to offer, turned out in full force to watch this epic.

The evening began with the anticipation of the long walk down the red carpet for the likes of Steve Buscemi, Courtney Love and Ewa Da Cruz at least one of which was (hopefully) going to be adorning the red and blue 3D glasses. Unfortunately for us, and for them, they waited until they were in the confines of the theater, thus banishing us to use nothing but our imagination.

Mayor Bloomberg Has 99 (Percent) Problems But Noise Ain’t One (Well, Until Now)

Occupy Wall Street made their way up Fifth Avenue on Sunday armed with drums, frying pans—some so recently used they still had remnants of  lunch in them—buckets, cow bells, sticks, tambourines, flagpoles, paint pots, lids, hands, harmonicas, trumpets, guitars and children. In short, anything and everything they could find to use as an instrument. This was with the aim of “annoying the rich people who live around here,” said protestor, Charles Young. The more specific aim was to “annoy” mayor Bloomberg, whose residence on 79th and 5th, was the chosen location for the Sunday afternoon,  24 hour drum-circle. Read More
