Naomi Campbell Loses Her Arms on the Cover of W's October Issue

W magazine has just released five different covers for its October issue, each featuring a woman dubbed one of “The New Royals” by the oversized fashion glossy.

You’ll find Kristen Wiig in a retro bouffant; Ellen Page sporting a menswear-inspired ensemble; model Cara Delevingne looking ’60s chic; Monégasque royal Charlotte Casiraghi in a glamorous black gown; and supermodel Naomi Campbell looking … armless. 

Yes, poor Campbell (this may be the only time you’ll ever hear that) appears to have had her arms removed in her cover portrait, which was shot by the fashion industry’s beloved photography duo Inez and Vinoodh. Presumably, this isn’t an all-to-common Photoshop fail or the result of a tragic accident, but rather just an awkward pose that hides her arms completely hidden behind her torso. (At least, we hope so.)

Otherwise, she looks stunning!



PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi Signals Support for Roger Goodell


The National Football League, which on Wednesday was criticized by Anheuser Busch InBev, got a much-needed vote of confidence Thursday from PepsiCo, which like the brewer is a major NFL advertiser and sponsor.

Indra Nooyi — the food and beverage giant’s CEO and one of the highest-ranking females in corporate America — said the recent player incidents are “casting a cloud over the integrity of the league,” but she also lent support to embattled NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league in general.

“Given PepsiCo’s long-standing partnership with the NFL, I know Roger Goodell. We have worked together for many years. I know him to be a man of integrity, and I am confident that he will do the right thing for the league in light of the serious issues it is facing,” Ms. Nooyi said in a statement. “Over the past several days, it is increasingly apparent that the NFL is starting to treat these issues with the seriousness they deserve,” she added.

Latinos. We’re all over the fucking place

Não importa para onde você vá. Há grandes chances de encontrar um latino – ou pelo menos algum produto ou referência latina – por lá. Afinal, estamos “all over the fucking place”, como aponta o divertido comercial criado pela Santa Clara para a 17ª edição do festival El Ojo de Iberoamérica, que rola entre os dias 19 e 21 de novembro em Buenos Aires. O evento é voltado para a fomentação e valorização da criatividade latino-americana.

Produzido pela Fantástica Filmes e Post, o filme tem direção de Marlon Klug com música e letra da S de Samba e direção musical de Simoninha.

Segundo Felipe Cury, que assina a campanha junto com Felipe Ribeiro, Fernando Campos e Leo Avila, a ideia era mostrar como os latinos realmente estão presentes, de alguma maneira, em todos os cantos do planeta. “E nesse processo de miscigenação global, eles levam toda a sua efervescência cultural muito característica: suas crenças, sua exuberância, seu jeito ‘caliente’, entre outras maneiras e costumes”, explica.

O resultado ficou bacana e é divertido ver como a “latinidade” aparece nos lugares menos esperados.

CP+B and James Harden Call on Master Groomer ‘The Beard Guru’

In this new, extended clip created by CP+B to promote NBA2k15 (set to be released in October), Rockets guard James Harden has a problem. Not, it’s not his defense: it’s his beard, which is too intense for the game’s new “face scanning technology.”

In order to address the matter, he turns to the appropriately Germanic “Beard Guru”:

As people with beards, we love this spot. Anthony Davis’ cameo really makes it, and we’d like to test that scanning technology ourselves.

Unfortunately, the Guru is not real. Germans’ ability to grow and preen amazing facial hair, however, is almost too real.

Benedict Cumberbatch Gets Wet, Mr. Darcy Style, for Charity Campaign

There are moments in cinema when a collective wetting of panties results in an advertising ripple heard through the decades, as marketers struggle to give the people what they want.

One such moment was when Colin Firth exited a lake in a dripping-wet white shirt during the BBC’s 1995 remake of Pride and Prejudice. The moment so captured the minds and eyes of the viewing public that just last year, a 12-foot-tall statue of Firth’s wet torso was erected in a British lake and summarily moistened.

Now, in a genius move, Benedict Cumberbatch, today’s No. 1 British heartthrob, has been talked into recreating the Mr. Darcy scene and is about to win a bazillion pounds of awareness for his chosen charity, the anti-cancer initative Give Up Clothes for Good.

The photographer was Jason Bell. He’s a guy whose photos you’ve seen even if you’ve never heard of him. He was the official photographer for Prince George’s christening, and you might also know him as the guy who took that picture of Kate Winslet that GQ Photoshopped into controversy back in 2003.

Boy, did he do a most excellent job capturing a grumpy wet Cumberbatch. You almost get the impression that you’ve dumped him in the lake and when he gets out he’s going to be very PUT OUT. You might also imagine that inspiration for the execution came from Cumberbatch’s recent viral Ice Bucket Challenge video, in which he got soaked in not one, not two, but three various states of undress. Or the cut shower scene from Star Trek Into Darkness, which also went viral.

It’s like a Russian nesting doll of surly wet Cumberbatches—a batch of ‘Batches, if you will. Also, we may have found something to rival cats in Internet ad stardom. Shirtless torsos of hot dudes. Also known as Cold. Hard. Abs.

The Give Up Clothes for Good campaign of getting celebrities to take off some clothes, all PETA style, is going on its 10th anniversary, and there are a bunch of other celebrities lined up to remove their clothes to celebrate this year. But who cares?



People in Japan Are Making Tiny, Adorable Beds for Their Wallets and Purses

Here’s an odd slice of weird from Japan. As seen on Japanese blogs, people are putting their purses and wallets into tiny beds before going to sleep themselves. The resulting pictures are strangely charming.

Kazuyo Matsui

TV and Internet personality Kazuyo Matsui recently made the following statement on air: “We sleep to recharge ourselves, don’t we? Well I believe that if we don’t let our purses and money sleep and recharge, they won’t have any power.”

This has inspired several people to start photographing their tiny little sleeping money holders in the hopes that the next morning their wallets or purses won’t be tired, and perhaps good luck will follows the.

If you’ve got a little extra cash in your pocket, and you’re not really feeling the DIY thing, you can order one of these restful creations from Matsui’s blog for ¥2,800 (which is about $26). Take a look below at some of these perfect little sleepy bundles of Yen.

Butterflies and floral patterns inspire wealth, apparently.

But real flowers might just inspire more.
