Ed. Note: Unfortunately, we were asked to take down the photograph which originally ran with this story. Which is great because it gave me an excuse to have Jim Cooke illustrate a new one. Just like the last time, he's very disappointed with the results because he was rushed and insisted we say 'Bad Drawings by Jim Cooke.' But instead we will acknowledge his heroic patience once again.
Jessica Hische, Designer of 'World's Most Hipster Wedding Announcement,' is a Delightful Human
A.J. Daulerio · 07/31/12 05:05PM
Yesterday, we ran a post devoted to trashing the online wedding announcement of Jessica Hische and Russ Maschmeyer, two well-respected graphic designers with shitloads of friends and fans who all defended them and praised the announcement for its advanced doohickeys and blinkity-blinks. Drew Magary, who authored the post, was impressed with how gracefully Jessica handled his evisceration and suggested we extend an opportunity for her to counterpoint. She declined, but did say we can publish her email response instead:
Vince Vaughn and CBS Developing Brady Bunch Reboot
Neetzan Zimmerman · 07/31/12 04:40PMToday's Song: Miguel 'Adorn'
Rich Juzwiak · 07/31/12 04:35PMFor his new EP, Kaleidoscope Dream: The Water Preview, singer-songwriter Miguel has expanded a highlight of the free Art Dealer Chic EPs he released earlier this year. At full single length, "Adorn" is more stunning than ever — the perfect meshing of modern minimal R&B and easy, breezy quiet storm classics like Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" and Gregory Abbott's "Shake You Down." This will soon be everywhere that R&B is welcome.
Who Invited the Elephant?: Parched Pachyderm Shows Up Uninvited to Pool Party
Neetzan Zimmerman · 07/31/12 04:06PMEveryone knows it isn't a pool party until an elephant shows up and sticks his trunk in the water.

Leah Beckmann · 07/31/12 04:05PMWhy James Holmes Has Fans On the Internet
Adrian Chen · 07/31/12 03:50PM
There are fans of everything on the internet. Even James Holmes, the 24-year-old accused of killing 12 and injuring 58 in the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting. What would drive a bunch of seemingly normal internet geeks to worship a mass murderer? To understand this, you'll have to journey to the dark heart of internet fandom.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson will not share custody of their dog, because people who share custody of pets post-breakup are weird.

Hamilton Nolan · 07/31/12 03:10PM
The Daily, News Corp's big fancy well-funded "iPad newspaper" project, was never really a good idea from day one. A once-daily, hugely expensive, geographically nonspecific newspaper that is not available on the internet: just not a great business plan. Now, a year and a half after the launch, the reality appears to be crashing down.

Caity Weaver · 07/31/12 03:05PMMiley Cyrus' Character Has a Snappy Bald Vagina in the Buried Flick LOL
Rich Juzwiak · 07/31/12 02:50PMThe scene above is a great indication of how bad noted sex enthusiast Miley Cyrus's LOL is. It's a movie that Lionsgate all but buried during its millisecond run in theaters. In the clip above, Demi Moore bathes with one daughter and chastises her other, Cyrus' character Lola, for having undergone a Brazilian wax, which she brazenly shows off — well, as brazenly as PG-13 will allow. "Maaahm!" is the wost answer you could possibly give when someone asks if you have a Brazilian. Moments later, Cyrus and Moore spoon in bed. So that's how it is in their family.

A.J. Daulerio · 07/31/12 02:35PM
About 8 years ago, while in the midst of his book promotional tour after he was caught fabricating and plagiarizing quotes for the New York Times, I did an email interview with Jayson Blair. At the time, this was a great get for a website called The Black Table and our media interview series, even though Blair was trying to sell his book and had pretty much accepted any request without hesitation.

The Time Whitney Houston Saw The Prince of Tides and Pulled a Woman's Hair
Rich Juzwiak · 07/31/12 02:00PM
Gospel singer BeBe Winans' memoir based on his friendship with Whitney Houston, The Whitney I Knew, is out today. Winans stole the show at Whitney's funeral with his tale of "crazy Whitney" (as much as a funeral is a show that can be stolen), and he expands on his point further in Knew's Crazy Whitney chapter. He writes about Whitney's tendency to talk through movies and details a spat she had during a showing of The Prince of Tides. This excerpt from it made me laugh harder than anything I've read all month:
