From our celebrity castration correspondent... what the wha? I mean, I don't question their motives at alll but...
Hit men arrested in alleged castration-murder plot involving Justin Bieber were out for blood
One of the arrested men, 23-year-old Tanner Ruane, allegedly said he and his uncle had the heart to execute the killings. But police nabbed the two separately last month. Alleged mastermind Dana Martin, who's serving time in jail, wanted the first two victims castrated before they were strangled. His main victim, however, was Bieber, police said.

The uncle-and-nephew nutjobs — foiled before they could allegedly act
out a bizarre murder-for-hire plot involving Justin Bieber — were sorely
disappointed when the bloodthirsty scheme went bust.
The plan unraveled in Vermont, where 23-year-old Tanner Ruane and his uncle, 41-year-old Mark Staake, had gone to allegedly kill two of their four victims — first by castrating them with Dura Sharp clippers and then strangling them with paisley ties, according to arrest affidavits obtained by the Daily News.
But Staake was unexpectedly picked up on an unrelated warrant on Nov.
20 as the pair drove near the Canadian border. That left Ruane to fume
over the missed opportunity to Dana Martin, the felon who allegedly
hired them.
Martin said he would pay them $2,500 per testicle.The plan unraveled in Vermont, where 23-year-old Tanner Ruane and his uncle, 41-year-old Mark Staake, had gone to allegedly kill two of their four victims — first by castrating them with Dura Sharp clippers and then strangling them with paisley ties, according to arrest affidavits obtained by the Daily News.
Good choice on the paisley ties... they're coming back into style I hear... but only 2500 per testicle? You could get 100 times that on Ebay.
3. Solo, Piano NYC
From our Rear Window correspondent.. not really sure how to describe this so I'll let the writer do it...
‘Solo, Piano — N.Y.C.’
Solo, Piano - N.Y.C.:
On a cold winter morning, a lone piano stands curbside in New York City.
Over the next 24 hours, this poetic short documentary chronicles the
interactions of passers-by as the piano awaits its fate.
By ANTHONY SHERIN
Making this film was pure serendipity. After a January snowstorm in New
York City, I decided to do some work on another film, in my home in
Washington Heights. But as I approached my desk, I thought I heard a
piano plinking. I looked out the window and saw a piano on the curb
below. I was mesmerized by the pattern that emerged. Passers-by would
slow, stop and play. Some played well. All day long they collected and
dispersed, and into the night they measured, shoved and deliberated the
piano’s fate. (If it stayed on the sidewalk, the city could have issued a
fine.) I was riveted. Pianos have histories. No one who stopped seemed
eager to leave it behind. Their thoughts were obvious: Can we take it?
Who abandons a piano? Is it worth anything?
I eventually started snapping stills and thought I would end up with
just that — a lot of stills. To my surprise, I discovered after 24 hours
that I had captured a story with a beginning, middle and end. My friend
Art Labriola created an original piano score, and I had a film. It has
screened at several festivals, and I’m pleased to share it with the
world on Op-Docs.
Anthony Sherin is a New
York-based filmmaker and editor. His documentary “Original Intent: The
Battle for America” was broadcast on PBS in 2009.

AVC: So how has your portrayal shifted over the years?
MB: Well, not much. I mean, honestly, it’s Hitler. There’s a German accent, and there’s a little mustache
Exactly.

Good job Daily Beast... thats why you're the original..
‘Duck Dynasty,’ ‘Buckwild,’ ‘Honey Boo Boo,’ and the 99 Percent
Tricia Romano explores the rise of redneck television, from Honey Boo Boo to ratings smasher Duck Dynasty, which last week beat Survivor and The X Factor.
Spoiled, gaudy rich people are so over. Spoiled, gaudy rednecks are in. With the wild success of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, and Redneck Island and the January debut of MTV’s newest reality-TV offering, Buckwild, the people have spoken: give us your unwashed, your unvarnished, your uncouth. Or, as the trailer for Buckwild proclaims, “We’re young, we’re free, we’re buckwild.”

Best part of the night for me was that Alicia Keys cellphone commercial. Not sure what brand it was for, but I'm buyin! Cant seem to find a video anywhere for this.. when she woke up today with that Molly hangover she must have ordered her people to take it down.
Only thing more awkward than that WHo set... was Kanye's.. by the way nice skirt.. looks good on you though.
