Ultimate Obam'art (+ Madonna)

Obama's beaming face, the title of a 90s' catchy anthem, flashy colors? It's simply a t-shirt sold during Madonna's American leg of the Sticky & Sweet Tour. It would probably have sold well among European fans too. You can still get it from the official merch site!

Talking about Madonna, here's a video of the intro during the Paris show. The film is titled "Sweet Machine" along with the whole theme of the show and the diva's latest album. The video was produced by British studio Rockstar, after original drawings by Eugene Riecansky. Veneno Inc is the firm responsible for the video installation of the show.



One last Madonna info? Her outfits... They leaked on the Internet a little before the tour began and I was in awe with this brilliant pink and black bohème-inspired piece of clothing by Givenchy. A hit on stage!

OK I'll stop about Madonna for now ;)

Sarah Palin in SNL

The videos everyone talks about: Saturday Night Live axes Sarah Palin!
The wonderful American actress/comedianL'excellente Tina Fey (the creator of the amazing NBC comedy show "30 Rock") impersonate the aspiring vice president.

In a first skit, Fey and Amy Poehler are Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton.



This week, it's the interview with Katie Couric and Palin's most twisted answers that are parodied. We are so close to the truth!



These skits (that are hopefully just the first of a long series) mark a certain come back for SNL. Even commented in France, they certainly highlight the new spirit of this emblem in US TV.

They did it!

Obamart

The Democrat candidate to the US presidential election of November 2008 started a cultural and historical enthusiasm almost never seen before. Barack Obama revolutionize American politics with the hope he helped to revive and the incredible mobilization of a new generation. The Y generation.

Dead in jail, aged 19

An article (in French) with a terrible realization: overpopulation in French jails. Can a young 19 year-old boy, whatever the crimes he committed, die this way in prison...?

Dignity

Question: Which one of these characters keeps his dignity?

Remark: Ray-Bans for more discretion? Not sure...

Another so-called "stolen" picture...
