It got a little awkward Monday night when the $13.4 billion dollar man himself (and his mom) reportedly weren’t allowed into the Met Gala after-party at the Manhattan Standard’s Boom Boom Room, and “waited outside in the rain at 1 a.m. but didn’t make it past the velvet rope,” says Page Six.

In Los Angeles last night, a suspected car thief stopped and exited her plunder in the middle of a high-speed pursuit with police to dance to a few bars of Future’s “Where Ya At,” then returned to the car. Officers swarmed the vehicle and arrested her moments later, ABC 7 reports.

Surgeons at the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi'an, China, say they transplanted a genetically modified piece of pig liver into a Tibetan macaque this month, according to the state-run China Daily. The gene-altered pig-monkey was reportedly in stable condition at the army-affiliated research facility.

The annual Evolo skyscraper award celebrates novel, bizarre, and whimsical designs for vertiginous buildings. In its aim to award innovative use of materials, building organization, aesthetics, and technology, Evolo often opts for the most beautifully outlandish structures you ever did see. This preference is obvious in the three winning proposals and the 24 honorable mentions.

Ciara's "Body Party," the umpteenth effort to launch the singer's upcoming One Woman Army album, is something sex jams by people other than Prince and R. Kelly rarely are: legitimately clever in concept. Based on a sample of the opening of beloved 1996 bass anthem "My Boo," "Body Party" achieves an extremely modern atmosphere in its open nostalgia. The "Boo" foundation also gives "Party" a dance-music element without killing the sex vibe, another extremely modern choice. Ciara's flirtation with the melody of "My Boo" ("Boy you should know that...") and her boyfriend Future's adlibs are just right, weirdly tasteful for a song called "Body Party."

A Kindle's one thing, but what about clear digital displays you could mash around like a plastic bag? Bendable screens have long been a tech prototype phantom, but E Ink's got the goods—and it could actually be useful!

On June 30th, 1999, officers in St. Louis, Missouri, found the body of Ricky McCormick, 41, in a field. He had been murdered. There were no clues, with two exceptions: two notes written in code in McCormick's pants pockets.

It's hard to tell what this commercial is for - or that it's a commercial at all. Batelco, a telephone company in Bahrain (a country in the Persian Gulf) thought it'd be cool to watch objects transform and stuff.

We're living in the future! Decades ago, we dreamt about life with the technology used today. Is it not what you thought it would be? Let this video re-contextualize just how amazing life is for you, man of the future.

In a warm dystopia many years from now, New York City will be underwater and ginormous mutant crustaceans will roam the globe, mouth-wateringly. Here's hoping the cows don't die, because we're going to need butter. [NatlGeo]

The heartwrenching saga of the Wasilla Hillbillies, the most recent installment of which features the dramatic break-up of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston, cries out for a reality show. It could be on VH1.

This is just like the other night when we flipped past ABC and Charlie Gibson said "up next, the robot revolution," which is a story we thought he probably should've led with. Anyway, monkeys finally control robots with their thoughts and mankind is basically defunct, now. [NYT, Drudge]

Newly launched FileRadar.net —the new website from Magazine publisher Future, the media conglomerate responsible for magazines like PC Gamer, Mac|Life, and Maximum PC—puts some extreme Digg-styled social media into the already saturated PC downloads market. Organizing files by Blips (i.e. popularity) won't be the easiest way for file seekers to find what they're looking for. (Isn't searching by topic simpler?) FileRadar's debut follows last month's launch of video sharing with Gloob.TV, an edited list of popular Internet videos. Future has been grasping at straws to compete with sites like CNET's GameSpot and Ziff Davis's 1UP Network by implementing all sorts of Web 2.0 tomfoolery. Future's thinking, apparently, is someone will love it if it's coated in enough Ajax, right? If this launch rate continues, some idea is bound to stick.
