RICK OWENS MAKES FURNITURE

So cool ... it's cruel.

LINDSAY DEFENDS RACY PHOTO SHOOT

You know, the one where she's dazed, glazed and holding a gun to her mouth?

She took to her Twitter page: “It’s not soft core porn hunny, it’s called ART.”

OK ... whatever you say, girl.

Bloated Lohan-with-a-gun wishes all you "hunnys" out there a fabulous day! Dont't forget your garter belt and fake blood on the way out the door!

COURTNEY LOVE FOR VANIDAD MAG

I'm pretty much dying for that lightning-bolt bodysuit she's wearing in the first pic ... anyone know who made it? It looks like Ksubi.

LINDSAY, IS THAT YOU?

3. Gucci

4. Chanel

5. Hennessy

"I WAS TOUCHED BY TERRY"

DAILY AFFIRMATION

Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte.

YES! IT'S HOLE!

So the long-awaited Courtney Love album Nobody's Daughter (that became the fourth Hole LP) has leaked ... you can hear all but one track here.

Pitchfork gave it a so-so rating. I haven't heard it yet, but as a rabid fan of '90's-era Hole, I have to concede that it would be a miracle if Love reclaimed the glory of her days as reigning Grunge Queen. The lady has lived through this, that and the other during the last twenty years (all very publicly, mind you) and I feel that she may have fallen a bit too hard down that Hollywood-rabbit hole. She lost that priceless sense of humor, that "fuck-em-all" attitude that gave her guttural wailings a certain depth and spirit that set her apart from the countless copycat bands that sprouted in her wake in the mid-1990's. At any rate, I'll be watching Courtney and wish her new "Hole" all the best.

P.S. I love how she brought back the Barbie font! And the painting of Marie Antionette that she used in the liner notes of My Body, the Hand Grenade. So awesome!

M.I.A. RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO

The voice of a generation M.I.A. released a new music video today, presumably from her forthcoming and third full-length album due sometime this summer. She also took over Pitchfork.com's Twitter account to celebrate. See the NSFW, graphically violent video for "Born Free" below:

M.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.

The song reminds me a bit of "Sabotage"-era Beastie Boys, if the Beasties were cool enough to sample Suicide's "Ghost Rider:"

INTERVIEW: HENRY HOLLAND MEETS ALEXANDER WANG

NAOMI STRIKES AGAIN OVER BLOOD DIAMOND INQUIRY

Naomi Campbell never backs out of a fight, and a question from a TV reporter regarding a gift from Liberian president Charles Taylor sent her over the edge (again). Taylor stands accused of war crimes against humanity involving "blood diamonds," or uncut stones retrieved from war-torn areas of Africa where people are frequently mutilated, killed or tortured by mob-style kingpins bent on cashing in on black market gems. See the video below:

Seems like Ms. Campbell needs another reality-check (a.k.a. "meet your new orange jumpsuit!").

COBRASNAKE DOES JEREMY SCOTT'S COACHELLA TOGA PARTY

Har Mar Superstar gets cheeky with Beth Ditto.

Remember when all you wanted to do was be photographed by Mark "the Cobrasnake" and have your picture broadcast all over the world? Well, those days are behind us, thankfully. The infamous party snapper was at Coachella last weekend for Jeremy Scott's Toga Party, and the resulting photos are shiver-inducing (and not in the good way). I'm glad to have outgrown this hipster bullshit way before it's expiration date, which was approximately 2006 (unlike Johnny Makeup; I don't recommend clicking that link if you've just had breakfast).

That isn't to say I'm not guilty of hipsterish hooligan-ery; I was at a Justice after-party once (it was actually a "green room party") and Mr. Cobrasnake was there taking pictures. Someone asked me and my friend for a photo, and just as we were posed, poised and ready, Cobrasnake suddenly had to pee or something, dashing my dreams of instant internet celebrity forever. Oh well, I learned a valuable lesson: it's actually better to be known for something other than looking fabulous and getting stupid drunk with famous people!

"ANDREW WENT TO THE RODARTE SALE TODAY!"

Kelly Cutrone has her own YouTube channel and Andreamy makes an appearance in episode one!

Andrew, baby, I'm gonna let you leave those shades on ... just this once (since they're Margiela).

VERSACE HOME COLLECTION

My favorite Versace wares have always been home furnishings (the ridiculously overpriced china, the tea sets, Andrew Mukamal's throne), and the latest from Versace doesn't disappoint. The new home collection debuted during Milan design week, and I'm loving the table (shown above). It's very Dan Flavin meets Miami, n'est-ce pas?

The overall collection is decidedly feminine in tone, and I'm not sure about the blown-glass drinking vessels in the last photo, but that wouldn't stop me from allowing Versace to bomb my apartment with everything they've got!
