Jade Uribe was arrested for stealing a $1,200 Ridley Howard drawing from the wall of a gallery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn during a party. Partygoers chased him down and busted him. Now the gallery's owner is begging for leniency.

A cross-country skier found a roll of film in Brooklyn's Prospect Park after the December 26th blizzard and, curious, developed the film. Now he's trying to track down the unknown photographers, using the power of YouTube. Help him, won't you?

What's the Internet's scariest hivemind like in real life? A bunch of geeky twenty-somethings hanging out in a bar in Brooklyn. This is what I learned last night at the first official meetup for the notorious message board 4chan.

Movies and their trailers have always been symbiotic. These days, there's a trailer to preview any upcoming film—and if there isn't one, well, good luck at the box office. A new trend, though, is *drumroll* trailers for books!

Brian Williams has a definite opinion on what the media story 2010 is, and it's not the iPad. Watch his deadpan diatribe praising the NY Times for finally venturing into the outer borough of ironic glass frames and artisanal cheeses.

According to weather reports, the blizzard that's dumped on the Southeast is headed our (New York's) way! There is a "Winter Storm Watch" in effect today for many parts of the Northeast! SNOWMAGEDDON 2010!?!?!?!? Let's get panicky, sweaty, ready.

[It's like a toy store exploded in the front yard of this Brooklyn home, one of many that had elaborate lighting displays—and huge power bills—for Christmas. A few more pictures from the 'hood below.]

The amount of profane graffiti in the Brooklyn Criminal Court's men's bathrooms has gotten out of control. So bad, in fact, that even the offenders are offended: "It makes it depressing to come here," one lawbreaker told the Daily News.

Playboy TV, the fuzzy obsession of every teenage male, is trying to rebrand and find new audiences with programming that will appeal to couples. Their newest reality show Brooklyn Kind of Love is just as befuddling as you'd imagine.

Williamsburg is the "new front line of the gentrification battle." Who knew?

Today the New York Times tells us that the urban locavore purist population of New York's still-hippest neighborhood, Brooklyn's Williamsburg, are furious about the encroachment of Duane Reade and Starbucks into their 'hood. Well, most residents are, anyway.

Times are grim in urban America. And, as one would expect, hard times lead to teenagers trying to shoplift entire turkeys by shoving them down their pants and "waddling" out of stores, nonchalantly. Thank god for surveillance cameras.

This Halloween, teens descended on a Brooklyn neighborhood and proceeded to act like snotty teens on Halloween. A local blogger documented the mayhem, befriended some of the teens on Facebook, then posted their profiles and incriminating status updates.

A group of Brooklyn teens this summer took to the streets of Bed-Stuy to count billboards and posters that promote alcohol in their neighborhood. The most frequently spotted ad? "A Spike Lee Collaboration" with Absolut Vodka. How shocking!

[A rainbow was spotted over Brooklyn today. This would have been cool if it hadn't been ruined by that stupid "Double Rainbow" guy. A video after the jump.]

Is Williamsburg ditching Dov Charney for Jesus?

Surely you've heard of Brooklyn's own Jimmy McMillan, founder and CEO of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party, and candidate for governor of New York. He's fighting rent-hiking slumlords for you! Well, he's fighting everyone except his landlord.

Jon Golbe is an actor/TV writer/Brooklynite. Tonight, Golbe was a contestant on Jeopardy!, and—for several, possibly unknown reasons—he stole the show more than any other contestant in recent memory. Inside, a compilation of Golbe's best (or worst?) moments.
