ROSIE, RONAN, RIHANNA, RON PAUL

Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley is an English model and actress.

She was voted No.1 in FHM's World's Sexiest Woman 2011 poll.[30]

Her paternal great-great-grandfather was politician Sir Herbert Huntington-Whiteley, 1st Baronet.

Herbert's son, Eric, was the "black sheep" of the family, and had married Rosie's great-grandmother, Enid Kohn, who was from a family of Polish Jews who immigrated to England in the 1870s.[7]

Perez Hilton's Last Supper

"Just in time for Easter, pop artist Sham Ibrahim has completed his portrait of Perez Hilton, based on Leonardo da Vinci's the Last Supper. Perez is at the center of table as Jesus and seated at the table with him from left to right are: Joe Jonas, Lindsay Lohan, Zac Efron, Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, Madonna, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Spencer Pratt, and Heidi Montag. Headlines taken directly from Perez' website are written on the wall. For dinner, "fame" is being served and the stars are crowded around the table, gobbling it up." 

So Paris Hilton is Perez Hilton's Judas? I'd think of her more as his mother Mary, but I appreciate the connection. It's a perfect addition to the ever-growing pantheon of Last Supper parodies.

Rihanna's 15 Minutes Of Unwanted Fame

Is it a statement about violence against women? Some sort of odd homage?

"I thought the bruises in the police photo were interesting shapes to draw," artist Sham told E! Online, about his Andy Warhol-esque painting of Rihanna's now infamous police photo. "And it was cool to color them pink and blue. Those are two of my favorite colors. There is no message to any of my art," he says of his work, Disturbia. "It's meant to look cool hanging on your wall and that's it! I'm not into deep meanings."

It seems unlikely that an artist would be so flippantly uncaring about using such a controversial image and perhaps wants people to make their own interpretations.

Said one commentator: "In four quick panels he condemns Chris Brown and all his enablers * particularly the entertainment media * for the free pass Brown gets. And Sham indicates (through mass production) that we shall certainly see this crime again...and again...and again."

I'd like to hope so.

You're A Bad Man, Chris Brown

Good ol' Chris Brown, he just can't help himself, right? Who knew MAD magazine had gotten so edgy? Or that they were online. Well, not really, but I hope to see more of this.

It's funny, Peanuts hasn't had a new strip in nine years, but its cultural cache is as current as ever. Witness Charlie Brown as drawn by Frank Miller, as The Comedian from Watchmen and as Spider-Man.
