Peaches no longer lives in Toronto, but that doesn't mean she's not concerned that her beloved city is being run by an alleged crack-smoking mayor.
During a recent visit home for a screening of her quasi-autobiographical transsexual musical "Peaches Does Herself" at the Lgbt Film Festival, she teamed up with electro duo #entertainment to record a send-off for the city's embattled mayor titled "Bored of Rob Ford."
Ford has made international headlines — and fodder for Jon Stewart, Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel — after journalists from Gawker and the Toronto Star reported being shown an iPhone video of him appearing to smoke crack. Rob Ford has responded to the allegations by saying "I don't use crack cocaine nor am I an addict of crack cocaine."
"It couldn't be avoided," Peaches told Huffington Post Canada of how she first heard about Ford's crack video scandal. “It was world news and then I...

PETA is calling on New Zealand authorities to investigate the deaths of several animals associated with the production of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and to prosecute the people behind the abuse. In a letter addressed to Minister of Primary Industries David Carter, the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals argues that the production company should be held "criminally responsible" if allegations that it ignored reports of mistreatment of horses, chickens and other livestock prove accurate. "New Zealand authorities must send a message to the international film community...

President Obama paid his respects - and offered a shoulder to cry on - at Dover Air Force Base Tuesday as he consoled families of the 30 U.S. troops whose remains were brought home from Afghanistan. "I told him, I want you to give me my grandson back. I want him alive," Madeline Bernice Strange tells People. Her grandson, Navy Seal Michael Strange, 25, was among the servicemen killed Aug. 6 when their Chinook helicopter was shot down in eastern Afghanistan - the single deadliest loss in the decade-long war there. "I told the President we never should've been there" in Afghanistan,...

The First poster and character shots have been unveiled for upcoming 80s-set cannibal/slasher film The Locals, as well as full details of the story and cast.
The poster (see above) was designed by comic book artist Dennis Willman. The film is directed by Eric Anthony Pereira, who previously did second unit directing on Piranha 3D and various episodes of the TV series House.
The Locals is a 'found footage' movie that takes place in 1987. It depicts a group of low-budget filmmakers (Matthew Landon; Devanny Pinn - Nude Nuns With Big Guns, Piranha 3D; Greg Duke - Lake Death; Angelina Armani - Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2) who head to the hills to film a slasher movie called Splatter Mountain.
Accompanying them are three of their actors, including an ageing, coke- addicted former centrefold (Tawny Amber Young - Nude Nuns With Big Guns), a bubbly, ditzy porn queen who is out...

Well, British actor Andrew Garfield has officially been cast as the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I don’t know how to break it to you, but looking at pictures, I think he’s – he’s a ginger. How do you put that up against the traditionally red haired Mary Jane?
Retired Army Capt. Flagg Youngblood testified at Elena Kagan’s confirmation hearings that her policies towards the military were segregationist. “He asserted that Kagan’s decision to deny military recruiters access to Harvard’s career services office as dean of the law school was akin to the treatment blacks received in the South before the civil rights movement. “
Roger Ebert made some comments that video games could never be art. He would now like to retract those comments in the most exasperated way possible,...

While we grapple with such problems as whether or not the recently out but obviously gay Sean Hayes is believable as a heterosexual in love with Kristen Chenowith in the delightful Broadway revival of Promises Promises, it is good to remember this privileged debate is hard won. Going back to a time when same sex coupling was a crime, marriage unthinkable, a new documentary, Stonewall Uprising, directed by Kate Davis and David Heilbroner, closely following David Carter's book, Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution, has now opened at Film Forum and tells the amazing story of this evolution in human rights. Tracing the untoward history of gay liberation in America, from what it was like in the 'sixties, a fairly recent past, when homosexuality was demonized, and thought to be a disease that might be cured with electric...

News, like nature, abhors a vacuum and as the wire goes quiet on Roman Polankski’s incarceration at the hands of the Swiss Authorities, the director’s industry peers have jumped in to offer their own views on his probable extradition to the Us in connection to his 1977 conviction for raping Samantha Geimer, then 13.
Whoopi Goldberg astonished Guardian readers on Wednesday when she was quoted making a distinction between “rape-rape”, as in the classic definition most of us are familiar with and rape (formally rape-rape) which she’d confusingly rechristened “something else.”
Showcasing the understanding of legal distinctions for which the Jumpin’ Jack Flash actress is rightly lauded around the world, she told The View chatshow on Us television:
“I know it wasn’t rape-rape. It was something else but I don’t believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and when they let him out he was like,...

Three projects that plow new ground in a genre once reserved for kids.
Unless you've got kids, you probably haven't given a second thought to pop-up books since your own childhood. But really, they're one of the original forms of "interactive entertainment"--so it's no wonder that top-notch graphic designers have piled their talents into them. Here's three examples:
David Carter specializes just in pop-up books. His newest is 600 Black Spots, which is exactly what it sounds like---a compendium of 3-D graphic design, starring black spots throughout. Part of the fun is hunting for the spots
A bit more elegant, and a bit more modern, a pop-up calender by Johann Volkmer:
And finally, a recent classic by Marion Bataille, ABC3D, which caught fire on the Web and should make any type geek drool:
