Free art is hard to come by these days. Sometime as time consuming as a multi-piece collage would be pricey at a gallery. That is not the case here, at Gawker Giveaways! Today we'll be giving away two collage pieces from collage artist and photographer MaryLaura Mau.

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.

The clip of James Franco kissing himself from the NY Times series "Fourteen Actors Acting" is just the start; the whole thing couldn't be more pretentious. Now, for your entertainment, the most ridiculous moments from the set.

The Jane Hotel's crotchety neighbors were about to get a big ol' story about just how noisy downtown's latest celebrity hangout is, but then the Jane Hotel's owners stepped in and killed it. At least that's what the writer says.

For a walking science book, the Body World exhibit and its ilk sure court a lot of controversy. In Europe, the bodies are now having sex and scandal has erupted once again.

The PR push for Johnston's article in Vanity Fair started yesterday and people are already hating America's babydaddy and rooting for Sarah Palin. But her reality-television-turned-politics spectacle was getting stale and nothing reinvigorates an aging soap like a good rivalry.

Eddie Murphy, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson: All indisputable geniuses in the 80s. Hit-or-miss in the 90s. And, at least before the outpouring of adulation for Jackson today, you probably wouldn't want to trade reputations with any of them.

The NY Times took a break from glad handling Google to report after 10 years in business, the massive server farm Internap Network Services finally posted two whole quarters of profit. Congrats on not getting delisted from NASDAQ!
