With his doped-out rhymes, D.I.Y. videos, and name-checks of Rick Owens and Raf Simons, reformed drug dealer A$AP Rocky is vying to redefine New York City rap for a new generation of hip-hop heads.
Sarah Jessica Parker will replace Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem in Lovelace. She's always seemed feminist-ish, so sure! http://t.co/3a0mutnL
We've been waiting months for video of John Mulaney's impression of Ice-T to be available online! Today is a good day! http://t.co/k4fVjqIu
This new Wild Nothing song is perfect Friday-afternoon music: great to soundtrack that final burst of productivity. http://t.co/1uS1QTJm

Imagine a collection in 150 shades of blue, boots made from the gilt foil that envelops champagne corks, countless folds turned into a dress, Amy Winehouse embroidered back to life and the Age of Enlightenment expressed in a frothy, gossamer gown. Paris's Spring 2012 Haute Couture collections took to the high ground in ethereal, spirited collections designed to send the doldrums packing with an air kiss.
The 13th installment of Stockholm's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off this Sunday, Jan. 30, in what promises to be a bit of cultural sunshine in the Nordic city, where right now, temperatures are low and the sun rarely shines. The three-day event will see a line-up of Sweden's best designers presenting their Fall 2012 collections. Audiences will be introduced to rising design star Johanna Pihl.
Today's Haute Couture comes in all shapes and forms, the one common thread being exceptional attention to detail in a limited edition. From young talents like Bouchra Jarrar whose sleek suits put couture back in real life day time, to Versace who returned to Paris after a break of nearly eight years to show its glittering red carpet columns, this spring session is a mix from wearables for the impossibly pampered to pure, priceless fantasies.
Mystical Weapons, a band that has only played five shows so far, is significantly adding to its résumé this weekend with engagements tonight and tomorrow at The Kitchen. But the band is comprised of two members who cumulatively have played thousands of shows: Sean Lennon (Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, Plastic Ono Band) and Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), alongside video artist Martha Colburn.
Greenpot Bluepot, the iconoclastic solo project of celebrated New York artist Natalie LeBrecht, boasts intricate melodies and transcontinental influences that deceive her more minimalist pedigree. LeBrecht constructed a festive and eye-catching video to accompany the track "Royal Parade," off of her forthcoming record.
In a sleepy New England village, two bored teenagers sit behind the desk of the Yankee Pedlar, a small, quiet, soon-to-close inn. When they're not drinking beer or being annoyed by the employee at the coffee shop next door, they are amateur ghost hunters.
Last autumn, rumors of a Warner Brothers' Moses biopic ran rampant. On Wednesday, it was announced that not only was the film going ahead under the title Gods and Kings, but that Steven Spielberg would be directing it and that it would be "like a Braveheart-ish version of the Moses story."
Visionary comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim stormed Sundance this year with their debut feature Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, an absurdly funny film made on a low budget, and also co-starred in The Comedy, a drama.
This week: Casa de mi Padre vs. The Dictator, two movies starring chameleon-like funny men taking on new ethnicities and probably insulting some people along the way.
At long last we can stop speculating about which films will be nominated (or snubbed) for this year's Oscars and start speculating about who will win! The Academy announced the nominations for the 2012 ceremony this morning.
This week was filled with models, models, and more models, as Scott doubled down on the preparations for New York Fashion Week.
The young, attractive, slightly deranged, eyeblack-wearing Paul Abacus (as he is called, though he may not be real) was something of a celebrity on the streets of Park City last week, followed by a pair of Steadicam-wielding dancers and a hoard of paparazzi performance artists whose flashes were attached to resin cameras and lit the falling snow like confetti.
There are so many things we miss about the '80s: the soft drink Tab, Marty McFly's sweet Nike high-tops, the Corey's, River Phoenix, day-glo... Oh, and Ferris Bueller, the man who taught us how to take it easy and managed to normalize very ridiculous name.
James Franco is waging a single-handed war against that whole "men can't multi-task," gender stereotype. His latest effort: a web TV series about moderately debauched college students, filmed entirely on a flip-cam!
The art world too global for you? Each week, Interview highlights in pictures the shows you'd want to see—if you could jetset from one international art hub to the next.
Prada is in Paris for the evening! Alas, how we wish we were too. The purpose of Prada's Parisian visit is to present their "24h Museum," designed by artist Francesco Vezzoli and AMO (headed by Rem Koolhaas).
With work from 1919 to the present day, this sprawling survey features imagined languages, personas, cities, and objects includes gems like the first edition of Kurt Schwitter's 1919 Dadaist poem Anna Blume, original prints from the mid-century, utopic-minded Italian architecture firm Superstudio, and Adam McEwen's darkly gorgeous, contemporary graphite impressions of wooden chipboard.
"I'm a disciple of Nietzsche—I believe in a minimum of effort and a maximum of error," explains painter, poet, and Warhol underground film star/longtime lover Taylor Mead. "So I haven't bothered showing these paintings until now."
Ryan Foerster and Ben Schumacher collaborate in their first show together at Martos Gallery in New York.
Ryan Gosling has masterfully managed to avoid the mainstream movie-industry machinery that transforms young actors into slowly traded commodities—ironically, by playing a collection of brilliant psychotics, desperate romantics, crack-addicted idealists, confused self-loathers, and sex doll–infatuated delusionals fit for a hollywood boardroom. Introducing the heavy-duty, high-definition, next-generation, movie-stardom-avoiding movie star.
