Apparently Terry Richardson cannot get enough of Lindsay Lohan. He just did a shoot of Lindsay Lohan for LOVE Magazine and then these new images from a shoot at LA’s Chateau Marmont showed up today.

The Old Milwaukee slogan says it best, It doesn’t get any better than this!

Common, embodies every bit of what is means to be a Renaissance man.  The 39-year-old rapper is probably best known as a hip-hop heavyweight with a signature style responsible for churning out such classics as the Grammy-winning “Love of My Life.”  But it doesn’t stop there the Chicago native is also an author, after his recently released memoir One Day It’ll All Make Sense, and an actor, thanks to memorable roles in films like Wanted, American Gangster.  With plenty to discuss, Common sat down with online lifestyle magazine, Interview, to give some insight as to what makes him so damn cool. Check out an excerpt below and the full article through Interview Magazine.

Did you act when you were growing up?
I acted when I was young—there was one play that I did. I felt I did well, but I remember my mother raving over my friend’s performance [instead]. I kinda lost my faith at that point in acting, and I had interest in other things. I loved plays, I loved films, but I had no desire to act until I had just put out my album Like Water for Chocolate. Creatively, I felt like I’d hit a ceiling, and I needed something else to express myself, and I just decided to take acting classes. The first opportunity that came up was with Girlfriends—someone that I work with was just talking about that, saying, “See how far you’ve come, from Girlfriends to Hell On Wheels. We’re very proud of you!”

But you’ve also done some acting in your videos.
Yeah. Technically, my first acting job was in one of my videos for a song called “Retrospect For Life,” which Lauryn Hill directed and featured an actress by the name of N’bushe Wright, who played my girlfriend who was about to be pregnant. I remember being so nervous about it, but now I feel like I can conquer the world with it. I got a long way to go—I want to keep growing, but it’s something that I’m very into.

What made you decide that it was time for you to write a memoir? You’re quite young.
I felt like I had experienced a lot of things in the first chapter of my life, and I wanted it to inspire and motivate people, so I just started writing.

There’s a part in the book where you talk about living with J Dilla.
Yeah, we had an apartment together in LA. It was incredible to have J Dilla in your dining room making beats—it was one of the greatest experiences I’ve had. I used to get really, really excited when I was getting a JD beats CD. But to have that access and see him create things live every day. There were times when he was sick and couldn’t work as much, but every time he was able to, he would work. He loved music.

What do you think made him so special?
God gifted him with that talent, and then he just loved it so much—he was born to be that creative. One thing that allowed him to continue to be special was that he wasn’t controlled by the industry. He didn’t care if it was the popular rapper calling him or the label telling him they wanted something, he really did stay focused on the music. He had a unique perspective—he was brought up in the hood in Detroit, but he was into jazz music, and sampling Bobby Caldwell and people like that. He had a wide variety of information and talent.

Interview Magazine recently spoke to Scarlett Johansson in Glasgow on the set of her next film Under the Skin.

Check out an excerpt of the interview below and you can read the full interview here.

How are you?
I’m good. I’m in dry, sunny Glasgow right now, enjoying the tropical weather. [laughs] I’m doing a film here called Under the Skin. It’s a project that I’ve been talking about with Jonathan [Glazer] for a few years now—I think he’s actually been working on it, in different incarnations, for about eight or nine years.

What is it about?
It’s hard to give a kind of warm-up line for the story because it’s almost like giving the plotline of a Bergman film, but I’m playing a character called Laura, who is an it that becomes a she . . .That’s what the story’s about—it’s about that transformation . . . It basically has no written dialogue, and I don’t think it’s really character-driven. Jon is an incredible visionary, and in the place I’m in right now, it feels really fresh. It might be an impossible project . . . [laughs] We’ll see.

How is your brother, Hunter?
He’s great. He’s been working on Scott Stringer’s campaign for a couple of months now, so he’s super busy with that. He’s really happy to be working with Scott—and, you know, the family’s proud.

I remember he promised to blog for us. I’ll invite him into the newsroom to meet our editors.
He’d absolutely love that. He always has so much fun when we’re out together. I’m already planning what I’m going to wear to the next White House Correspondents’ dinner.

I loved being at the dinner with you, watching all of those senators from both sides lining up to meet you.
Next time I go I’m going to find Anderson Cooper’s table and camp out there. My brother was totally geeked-out by Katie Couric. I think he followed her around the entire night. I was chasing after him, and I turned around, and I had a bunch of Republican senators chasing after me. [laughs] But honestly I think it’s the best party in town. I’d rather go to the White House Correspondents’ dinner than any awards show.

“Extraodinary personality” is an understatement. In 1958, Salvador Dali appeared on Mike Wallace’s ABC television show The Mike Wallace Interview. During the 30 minute interview, Dali responded to Wallace’s questions in an endearing and completely surreal manner.

Stanley Kubrick wrote and directed memorable classics such as Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining, now he is revered as one of America’s most influential filmmakers.

Directors ranging from the Coen Brothers to Tim Burton have paid visual homage to his works in their own films, and Steven Spielberg is quoted as saying: “Nobody could shoot a picture better in history.”

VandM.com is featuring an exclusive sale of photographs by the late director. These 25 dramatic black and white limited-edition images, represent the iconic director’s first job as staff photographer for LOOK Magazine from 1945 to 1950. VandM will offer these fine art prints in limited editions of 50 with a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by the museum’s Curator of Prints and Photography. They will be priced from between approximately $400 to $800 USD per photo.

The whole thing is literally so perfect it almost seems fabricated. You’re a teen-bop-bullshit “musician”, your biggest hit song is named, “Baby,” and your involved in a paternity suit! Fantastic.

Everyone’s joking about it, but Jimmy Fallon really took it to magnificent new extremes when he performed Justin Bieber’s anthem, “Baby.” Fallon was dressed as Bieber, complete with that god-awful hair, cheesy dance moves, and squeaky little man-child voice. Fallon did however get a little creative with the songs lyrics to reflect a claim by a 20-year-old girl that Bieber knocked her up. The song’s appropriately called, “It’s Not My Baby.”

I didn’t know the little guy had it in him. Literally, I did not know his body was physically capable of producing swimmers…

“You said we did it and I’m a dad. My lawyer’s trippin’ cause this looks bad. You only said this to get my cash. Now Selena Gomez is going to kick my ass,” it’s not my baby, baby, baby.”

His passion and design genius transformed both Apple and Pixar into two of the world’s most successful companies. And despite Steve Jobs’ declining health and recent departure from Apple, the future of both companies looks stronger than ever.

When Steve Jobs announced his resignation on August 25, 2011 everyone wanted to know more.  Who was this man that seemingly single-handedly not only saved Apple from near death but piloted them to overcome one of the largest companies in the world – Microsoft – to take the #1 spot.  So who’s next?  Apple can’t be king forever.  So now we wait to see who the next great visionary will be.  Maybe it’s you.

Regardless we can all learn a thing or two from the man that won our heart, dreams and wallets.

We pulled out our 20 favorite Steve Job quotes, listed in chronological order.  Start feeling inspired.

We’re gambling on our vision, and we would rather do that than make “me, too” products. Let some other companies do that. For us, it’s always the next dream.

-Apple product event for the first Macintosh computer, January 24, 1984

That’s why I think death is the most wonderful invention of life. It purges the system of these old models that are obsolete. I think that’s one of Apple’s challenges, really. When two young people walk in with the next thing, are we going to embrace it and say this is fantastic? Are you going to be willing to drop our models, or are we going to explain it away? I think we’ll do better, because we’re completely aware of it and we make it a priority.

-Playboy, February 1985

We attract a different type of person-a person who doesn’t want to wait five or ten years to have someone take a giant risk on him or her. Someone who really wants to get in a little over his head and make a little dent in the universe.

-Playboy, February 1985

If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away.

-Playboy, February 1985

As you’ve pointed out I’ve helped with more computers in more schools than anybody else in the world and I’m absolutely convinced that is by no means the most important thing. The most important thing is a person. A person who incites and feeds your curiosity; and machines cannot do that in the same way that people can.

-Smithsonian Institution Oral and Video Histories, April 20, 1995

I think the artistry is in having an insight into what one sees around them. Generally putting things together in a way no one else has before and finding a way to express that to other people who don’t have that insight….

-Smithsonian Institution Oral and Video Histories, April 20, 1995
A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

-Wired, February 1996

Ultimately, it comes down to taste. It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things in to what you’re doing. Picasso had a saying: good artists copy, great artists steal. And we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas, and I think part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best
computer scientists in the world.

-Triumph of the Nerds, PBS, June 1996

People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.

-Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, May 13–16, 1997

I told [Bill Gates] I believed every word of what I said but that I should never have said it in public. I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He’d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.

-New York Times Magazine, January 12, 1997

One of my role models is Bob Dylan. As I grew up, I learned the lyrics to all his songs and watched him never stand still. If you look at the artists, if they get really good, it always occurs to them at some point that they can do this one thing for the rest of their lives, and they can be really successful to the outside world but not really be successful to themselves. That’s the moment that an artist really decides who he or she is. If they keep on risking failure, they’re still artists. Dylan and Picasso were always risking failure. This Apple thing is that way for me. I don’t want to fail, of course. But even though I didn’t know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn’t really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I’ve tried my best.

-CNNMoney/Fortune, November 9, 1998

I’ve never believed that they’re separate. Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and a great scientist. Michelangelo knew a tremendous amount about how to cut stone at the quarry. The finest dozen computer scientists I know are all musicians. Some are better than others, but they all consider that an important part of their life. I don’t believe that the best people in any of these fields see themselves as one branch of a forked tree. I just don’t see that. People bring these things together a lot. Dr. Land at Polaroid said, “I want Polaroid to stand at the intersection of art and science,” and I’ve never forgotten that. I think that that’s possible, and I think a lot of people have tried.

-Time, October 10, 1999

In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains and the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service.

-CNNMoney/Fortune, January 24, 2000

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.… I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.… It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.

-Commencement address, Stanford University, June 12, 2005

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown our your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

-Commencement address, Stanford University, June 12, 2005

All we are is our ideas, or people. That’s what keeps us going to work in the morning, to hang around these great bright people. I’ve always thought that recruiting is the heart and soul of what we do.

-D5 Conference: All Things Digital, May 30, 2007

Let’s go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday.

-D5 Conference: All Things Digital, May 30, 2007

People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true. And the reason is because it’s so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up. It’s really hard. And you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don’t love it, if you’re not having fun doing it, you don’t really love it, you’re going to give up. And that’s what happens to most people, actually. If you really look at the ones that ended up being “successful” in the eyes of the society and the ones that didn’t, oftentimes it’s the ones [who] were successful loved what they did, so they could persevere when it got really tough. And the ones that didn’t love it quit because they’re sane, right? Who would want to put up with this stuff if you don’t love it? So it’s a lot of hard work and it’s a lot of worrying constantly and if you don’t love it, you’re going to fail.

-D5 Conference: All Things Digital, May 30, 2007

My job is not to be easy on people. My job is to make them better.

-CNNMoney.com/Fortune, February 2008

It’s not about pop culture, and it’s not about fooling people, and it’s not about convincing people that they want something they don’t. We figure out what we want. And I think we’re pretty good at having the right discipline to think through whether a lot of other people are going to want it, too. That’s what we get paid to do. So you can’t go out and ask people, you know, what’s the next big [thing]? There’s a great quote by Henry Ford who said, “If I’d have asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me ‘A faster horse.”

-CNNMoney/Fortune, February 2008
We’re not going to be the first to this party, but we’re going to be the best.

-Apple event for iPhone OS 4.0, April 8, 2010

iPad Inspires iPhone

I actually started on the tablet first. I had this idea of being able to get rid of the keyboard, type on a multi-touch glass display. And I asked our folks, could we come up with a multi-touch display that I could rest my hands on, and actually type on. And about six months later, they called me in and showed me this prototype display. And it was amazing. This is in the early 2000s. And I gave it to one of our other, really brilliant UI [user interface] folks, and he called me back a few weeks later and he had inertial scrolling working and a few other things. I thought, My God, we could build a phone out of this. And I put the tablet project on the shelf, because the phone was more important. And we took the next several years, and did the iPhone.

-D8 Conference, June 1–3, 2010

Mila Kunis is as cool as she seems in the movie films!  Or at the very least her PR team is.

The ex of Macauley Culkin and Jackie from that 70’s show really has made a name for herself with memorable performances in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Black Swan.  And now she’s about to do something that will make the entire US Military and ‘Merica really fall in love with her.

A marine, Sgt. Scott Moore with the 3^rd Battalion 2^nd Marines in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, made a video onYouTube under the name GoWithMeMila inviting her to the Marine Corps. ball in Greenville, North Carolina.  It sounds like it’s actually going to happen!  Check out the video that got the ball rolling below:

Brian Wilson, baseball’s number 1 funny man, describes his gorgeous freaking term that he uses when papa’s feelin’ pretty delicious. Got Heeeem! Filmed for Showtime’s The Franchise: A Season With The San Francisco Giants, premiers July 13, 2011.

Lupe Fiascno recently premiered the above video.  A disturbing video about war, the 9/11 attacks, politics and censorship.  Between the video and some of Lupe’s recent statements Bill O had a bone to pick.  Hence the below video face-off:

So who comes out victorious?  Neither really. Though if they went fist-to-fist I’d bet on Bill O the man is six foot six, constantly enraged, and completely insane.  What’s most interesting is that Lupe Fiasco’s naming of the greatest terrorist in the world – Barack Obama and the United States government – made O’Reilly so angry.  Woulda thought he’d jump right on the Barrack Obama part of that statement!

Mostly the clip just involves O’Reilly crusading against the hip-hop generation, slyly berating Lupe Fiasco’s audience and being his usual ass of a self.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is easily my favorite show on television.  Rob McElhenny is the show-runner and creator of the series, but I didn’t know how completely and utterly dedicated to his art he was.

He has gained 50 pounds for the next season of It’s Always Sunny.

The whole thing’s hilarious for a number of reasons. Mac is always bragging about his ripped physique and getting into fights.  And fat is funny.

Ryan Matthew Dunn: June 11, 1977 – June 20, 2011.

After tweeting that he was out and about having a good time and few drinks with the boys, Ryan Dunn left a bar in West Chester, Pennsylvania, with a friend in his awesome but deadly fast 2007 Porsche 911 GT3.

The West Goshen Township Police found Dunn, his male passenger and his Porsche in the woods, engulfed in flames just after 3:30 a.m. The car crashed through a guardrail and plunged into a thick growth of trees and brush. Both bodies were badly burned, and Dunn was initially identified by his facial hair and tattoos.

If you’re a fan of CKY & Jackass, you’re well aware of who Ryan Dunn was and his work.  He loved playing the line between absolute stupidity and comedy and the chemistry between him and his buddies was undeniable.

A police representative stated that excessive speed was more than likely a contributing factor in the accident, and that an investigation would follow to determine other factors, as well as the official accident report.

Friends who were with Dunn have reportedly stated that he didn’t seem intoxicated when he left the establishment. According to their reports, over the course of a few hours, he had three beers and three girly shots.

It was somewhat surprising when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver announced that they were separating after 25 years of marriage, but apparently it gets worse.

The LA Times, who broke the story last night, say Arnold had a relationship with a woman who worked for Arnold and Maria as a member of their household staff for 20 years. About 10 years ago they had a child, but the woman, kept working for the couple until this past January.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife, Maria Shriver, separated after she learned he had fathered a child more than a decade ago with a longtime member of their household staff.
Shriver moved out of the family’s Brentwood mansion earlier this year, after Schwarzenegger acknowledged the paternity.

Arnold issued this statement:

“After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago. I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among my friends and family. There are no excuses and I take full responsibility for the hurt I have caused. I have apologized to Maria, my children and my family. I am truly sorry.
I ask that the media respect my wife and children through this extremely difficult time. While I deserve your attention and criticism, my family does not. “

Shriver has only issued a “no comment”, probably in hopes that Oprah can squeeze her in this week, but Arnold picked the right girl to cheat with because she was still sticking to her story last night.

In an interview Monday before Schwarzenegger issued his statement, the former staffer said another man — her then-husband — was the child’s father.
She said she voluntarily left her position with the couple earlier this year after reaching a longstanding goal of working for them for two decades. “I wanted to achieve my 20 years, then I asked to retire,” she said, adding she received a severance payment and “left on good terms with them.”
Schwarzenegger took financial responsibility for the child from the start and continued to provide support, according to a source.

I’m surprised the woman’s husband didn’t have questions.  Like, why does our child have 20 inch arms and a bulging chest?
