Sharon Stone Paints a Little Dream

Whit Honea — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:58:00 GMT

The other day I was walking through our local mall, which I try to avoid whenever possible, and I noticed that the Coffee Bean was gone and in its place was this store where you paint ceramic stuff. You know, ashtrays, coffee cups, picture frames and other items with varying levels of sentimentality. In fact, my boys made me a "Best Dad" frame at one of these places for Christmas (and they were right). Also, a lizard. I think it's a paperweight.

Anyway, that's the kind of place that Sharon Stone and her son Roan were spotted in. I think they're making me a coffee mug!

Ready for your close-up, Miss Bell.

People (me) were complaining that they couldn't see Tina Fey, so here's a better shot! Her expression is awesome.

The original photo by Annie Leibovitz can be found here. Enjoy.

MAD Invites the "Ladies" Over for the Holidays: Yes, Alfred E. Neuman, You Worry

Whit Honea — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:39:00 GMT

Honestly, I didn't even know that MAD magazine still existed. The last time I even thought of it was when Beck did that video* that folded up like the back cover of any given issue.

Norman Rockwell must be rolling in his grave.

I'll give it to MAD, they're spot on. So is that morning sickness for Nicole or bad soup?

Annie Leibovitz and Her Disney Magic

Whit Honea — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:07:00 GMT

Annie Leibovitz has done it all in her career. The lady is to photography what Warhol was to painting but without all the soup cans. In a nutshell, she's good.

Disney commissioned her to do a series of photos using some of the biggest stars from sports and entertainment to portray classic Disney icons. It's pretty freakin' cool.

Says Leibovitz, "It's thrilling to have an opportunity to re-create the characters we all loved as children. The stories are real to my own children now, and their belief inspires me."

Preaching to the choir, Annie.

In regard to the photos, here is a portion of the press release:

Actress Rachel Weisz is Snow White, tennis star Roger Federer is King Arthur from "The Sword in the Stone" and actress Julie Andrews is the Blue Fairy from "Pinocchio" with actress Abigail Breslin as Fira from "Disney Fairies" in a new wave of celebrity images celebrating "The Year of a Million Dreams" at Disney Parks.

They join Scarlett Johansson as Cinderella, Beyoncé as "Alice in Wonderland" twirling in a teacup and David Beckham atop a steed as Prince Phillip from "Sleeping Beauty" in a 14-page insert appearing later this year in several Condé Nast publications. Johansson, Beyoncé and Beckham also starred in the first flight of Leibovitz images last January.

The Beyonce photo also included Lyle Lovett and Oliver Platt. The previous three photos can be seen here.
