What do these five people have in common with Tinsley Mortimer's dad, George Mercer? Absolutely nothing, but they were all witnesses of Michael Fredo's ill-fated jazz set at the Plaza Hotel's Rose Bar. Who in their right mind compiled this guest list?

And you were thinking your apartment was tiny. The smallest apartment in the city belongs to Zaarath and Christopher Prokop, who paid $150,000 for a "microstudio" three months ago. It's about 14.9 feet long and 10 feet wide, but the apartment has a window with a view and the building has a doorman, so clearly it could be a lot worse, no? [NYP]

The following videos are quite the spectacle to behold. They were all filmed using tilt-shift photogaphy or as it's also known, "miniature faking." Enjoy!

The words "golf" and "urban" have never been and never will be a good combination. The same goes for "ghetto sweatervest" and "thug croquet."

The news has been filled with the scandalous details of Tiger Woods' (many) trysts over the past week. But even when there aren't such titillating bombshells to chew over, there are plenty of sex-related stories to digest. Because we're so thoughtful—and to keep up your mood on this dreary Monday—we took the liberty of combing through the past week's headlines and compiling the steamiest information out there.

An ad for a body waxing business shows a hairless beaver. There's also a hairless kitty and a hairless cock. When did we stop trying? [Copyranter, who would also like to show you Mona Lisa's tits.]

In America, at the worst, you'll break a bone as a result of a prank. In Germany, a prank can cause an existential crisis.

The Canadian edition of the free newspaper printed this picture of college kids frolicking in a hot tub. What they didn't notice is this guy's wang is totally hanging out. Your work will not be safe after the jump.

When the protagonist makes their inspirational speech to rally the troops at the end of a movie, it's hard not to get goosebumps. Well in this video, your goosebumps will get goosebumps.

Meet the "Prestwich Crew," touted on YouTube as "Record-breaking Cockail Geniuses". Tricks featured here: the "Six-setting Throw" and the old "Seven-flaming-Saumbuccas-in-8-seconds" trick. Are we to believe this staff has nothing better to do with their time?

Michaele and Tareq Salahi generated a week's worth of headlines for crashing the state dinner in Washington a couple of weeks ago. But they're hardly the only ones. According to a new report, there have been at least 90 breaches of White House security over the past three decades. [NYP]

War Journalism 2009: "Lauer and Roker will have the latest reporting from the war zone"

The Slim-Fast secret: bacterial contaminant-induced vomiting and diarrhea.

Hamilton Nolan has taken frequent aim at 'pansexual' self-promoter and editor Neal Boulton's public antics, usually with a disclosure that Genre magazine never paid him $250 for a story Boulton assigned. Today, they bury that hatchet. A letter from Boulton:

Today's fail teaches us why backwashing is gross! And dangerous, if you're trying to breathe fire. Gene Simmons, take note.

Dreary Washington Post media critic Howard "Conventional Wisdom In a Shirt" Kurtz has managed to write a profile of New York magazine that is clueless even by "Howard Kurtz explains NYC" standards. Let's get right into it, okay?

The funniest skit on SNL this week was a low-budget commercial advertising the worst music festival ever. Well that music festival exists in real life. And there is a heinous 14 minute YouTube video to prove it.

Remember those protests outside AIG last fall? Those angry hearings in Washington? The bus trips to visit the suburban homes of AIG executives.
