joking around

It seems Halloween comes early for Mickey Rourke. The actor wore what he considers to be "The Joker" costume out clubbin' Thursday night. I guess his bro didn't get the memo.



He looks more like "The Coker." And what's up with the porn stash, and Miami Vice blazer? Somehow this is a costume that just works for him.

saving face

I thought I'd give you some much needed face time with one of my favorite celebrities. Anybody else remember a little movie called Diner? That was my favorite Rourke movie--back in the day when he actually looked handsome. For those of you who have not just eaten, please to enjoy this slideshow of horror.

what's next for Mickey Rourke?

Mickey Rourke will be playing the part of The Joker in the next Batman movie. Just kidding.

never never again land

Let me just start by saying, from the neck up--gorgeous. However, from the neck down I can't quite figure out if Madge is wearing a Peter Pan costume or an Oscar The Grouch pelt.

gone to the dogs

Mickey Rourke's career is going nuts!

LEGO no you di-in't!

"who's bad?" This reenactment of The King of Pop is pretty bad! For starters, the last time Michael Jackson had freckles, he had his original nose to display them on and we all know how long ago that was. They gave him fringey bangs and a cute little grin--hmm, he almost looks like a young boy. Ewww. On a positive note I thought the one white hand was a nice touch, and it's fitting to see Michael constructed out of plastic--art imitating life, no?


Where to begin? I get that it's tough to transcend the skintight pants look to minifig but why did they have to dress up Prince like Colonel Sanders? The head alone bears absolutely no resemblence to Prince. It sorta makes him look like a lesser character from the movie Tombstone. Kudos to using a comparison photo that shows the real Prince with totally different hair and clothing!

LEGO my identity

Okay, so as cool as this is, I think the mark was missed a little. I'm all for capturing the face of a celebrity in LEGO form, but Louisa May Alcott is not the first name that comes to mind when I think celebrity. Besides, that looks an awful lot like LEGO Princess Leia who is shown here in her Imperial Members Only jacket. You cannot fool the Force.

Next we have the obvious choice for celebrity LEGOism: Elvis! The problem that I'm having with this design is that he looks a lot more like Johnny Cash on crystal meth.

riddle me this

For those of you who didn't know, the world of LEGO has transcended to video games and Hollywood. The latest video game from LEGO is Batman, and it is just as adorable as the Indiana Jones, and STAR WARS games before it. LEGO has even gone as far as commemorating entertainment figures in true plastic form to celebrate their 30 year anniversary.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their entourage.

The highly talented and curvaceous Amy Winehouse (they couldn't make a little LEGO crackpipe?)

they keep rolling...and rolling...

At first I thought this was a picture of the well-known geriatric rock band The Rolling Stones, but upon closer inspection I realize I was way off. It's actually a candid photo of (L to R) some lesbian couple, the Count from Sesame Street, and Detective Lieutenant Columbo after a long night of club hopping.
