Evoking thoughts of various skateboard/skatedeck inspired releases from Nike SB in the past including a rendition by Michael Lau, Brad Douglas raises the bar to another level with his “7-Ply” Blazer customs. The detailed lasered wood grain leather also includes various grip tape hits throughout as well as truck hardware on the heel.
Olympic cyclist Chris Boardman shows off his unique bike design which he not only says will be common in 20 years but is also theft-proof and features puncture-free tires. The futuristic-looking creation boasts a complete carbon fiber body with a built-in locking anti-theft mechanism which can only be activated by the touch of the bike owner’s fingerprints. Addition features include a calorie monitoring system, battery-powered assistance, and aforementioned puncture-free tires that have the ability to self-inflate. “It could be built now if there was a will. All the technologies are already there, it’s just that nobody’s put them all together before,” Boardman says.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all. And just in case you're wondering, this was the last film Heath Ledger did before his untimely death early last year. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrel joined the cast to finish his role without pay. The money went to Matilda, Ledger's daughter.
According to TMZ Sara Stokes, former member of Diddy's "Da Band", has allegedly stabbed her husband.
This bloody mug shot was taken after Stokes was arrested for domestic violence August 2 at their home in Moreno Valley, CA. According to law enforcement sources, Sara stormed out of the house after arguing with husband Tony — she tripped, fell down and accused him of doing it. We’re told Sara — who hurt her head in the fall — grabbed a knife and stabbed Tony in the arm — while their 3 kids watched. Paramedics and cops came and Stokes was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence. The D.A. is deciding whether to charge her. Sara’s lawyer, Eric Kayira, tells us, “Sara and Tony have a very passionate and loving relationship that on August 2, while having an evening of fun, she slipped and fell, hitting her head heavily on the ground and somehow in the process of helping her Tony got injured.”
Well, I can say I am quite shocked. I always thought she was the good one. Click the pic[s] for a larger view.
Look at Maxwell making a mini movie! Kudos to whomever got Kerry Washington to play the "other woman". I'm just mad they cut the song short. Hopefully this guy will release a longer version in the next few weeks.
Over all, I'm not really feeling the collection as a whole. It doesn't say "cohesive" to me. The zipper detail on the one cardigan was pretty fresh, but the distressed jeans are a thing of the past. I prefer my denim dark and fitted. I think it would be in Diddy's best interest to do some guest designing for other brands, such as H&M and a really high end brand like Alexander McQueen, to establish him as a real designer.
