In Other Blogs: Best Mugshots Ever, Angelina Jolie’s Nipples, and More

What’s the word on the bloggin’ streets? Scanner brings the news, and the crazy:

Best. Mugshots. Ever. (Take note: best not to wear your “I love midget porn” T-shirt over the long weekend, no?)
Lil Wayne has been reading Mayan prophecies: check out what he’s learned.
Two celebs we haven’t heard from in awhile suck face in public.
If you look closely, you can see Angelina Jolie’s nipples. For reals.
Penthouse owns online Christian dating sites. Also for reals.
Meet the new DC Comics character, Shy Crazy Lolita Canary.
Guess which Star Trek star will take advantage of California’s new gay marriage law? Live long and prosper! All this and so much more at your Daily Scanner.

Over at the Screengrab, we’ve got Joan Collins dishing on why Sean Connery never walked in one her naked body painted gold (and other deep thoughts on the James Bond franchise); Shreveport, Louisiana: not just for birthin’ Spears’ kids!; are you Jaman?; David Bowie calls “bullshit” on stage musical version of The Man Who Fell to Earth; and check out the latest from Cannes.

The Modern Materialist brings us the most evil calculator ever (don’t tease me!); Got Milk? Get this awesome milk-splash chair; all sorts o’ hour glasses; a dog house bigger than your apartment; the smoking cigarette gun; egg pants; and “You Condoms.” As Materialista Wendy says, “They're the modern day calling card — they feature an image on YOU right on the package. Just send in a photo of yourself and they'll make a stylized black and white image to create your very own calling card condoms. Klassy!”

And new video game blog 61 Frames Per Second brings us the trailer review for “The Conduit”; going vertical: how Capcom’s developers are changing the landscape of 3D games; a YouTube-r re-imagines Gradius as an old-fashioned text adventure; and are you “casual” or “hardcore”? Or is there another option…?

Can you feel the excitement? Today marks the birthday of Nerve’s new video game blog, 61 Frames Per Second. As Nerve editor and yellow-shirt wearer Peter Smith says, “Whether you’ve been playing since the '70s or your first time with a controller was when your parents bought a Wii last month, chances are you’ve played a videogame. Now you can enjoy Nerve's writers bringing their usual laser-like critical focus to bear on this most exciting young medium, in our new videogame blog, 61 Frames Per Second. You can also enjoy these outtakes of us clowning around on the roof.”

Yes, they climbed to the top of our building…

This shit is serious, yo...
