Kevin Bacon Sculpture, Made Out Of Bacon

J&D Foods, a US company specializing in bacon products, has commissioned an artist to create a life-sized bust of actor Kevin Bacon out of bacon.

The piece — which took three months to make — is called “Bacon Kevin Bacon” and comprises of a Styrofoam core covered in dried “bacon bits” a bacon-based crunchy salad topping.

Looks more like Conan O’Brien, no?

J&D Foods’ co-owner Justin Esch told AOL:

“It should be in art gallery somewhere, but it would also look nice on a coffee table. I think it’ll tie together any room nicely. Bacon makes everything better, including art.”

Artist Mike Lahue created the artwork, which is due to be auctioned on eBay this week for the charity Ashley’s Team, a non-profit organization that helps children with cancer and their families. (Already 22 bids, $305.00)

The eBay ad advises that Bacon Kevin Bacon is not edible. The sculpture has been lacquered to ensure that the buyer doesn’t have a revolting piece of rotting meat on their hands.

Ha! Like someone would try and eat it.

Kim Kardashian Gets Botox

On Sunday night’s episode of ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians,’ Kim Kardashian got Botox injections. And her website’s been blowing up with feedback–good and bad–since.

The reality star, 29, took to her blog Wednesday to talk about the episode and her thoughts on the procedure.

Great, now she looks even more plastic and fake.

“I’ve been getting lots of emails and comments regarding the Botox episode of ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ so I wanted to address this today to clear some things up,” she wrote.

Kardashian continued, addressing the bruising around her eyes seen during Sunday’s episode. “On the show you saw I had some bruising around my eyes after the procedure, which is totally natural, but because I hadn’t looked into the side effects, I freaked out. In no way was Dr. Kassabian a bad doctor… it wasn’t a botched job at all!! In fact, I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get a procedure done.”

And while the reality star thinks her procedure went well, it’s not something she plans on doing again soon. “I am not against botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non surgical procedure, but I think when you’re young there are other ways you can look after your skin… that help keep you looking young and beautiful. Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age.”

“Remember, if you are going to get any sort of cosmetic work done, make sure you are well informed of all the side-effects. You can never be too safe,” Kardashian concluded.

20 Of The Craziest VMA Outfits

The 2010 MTV Video Music Awards take place this Sunday so Billboard decided to go down memory lane and take a look at some of the craziest VMA outifts.

20. Lil Mama looks more like child than mother at the VMAs in 2009.

19. At least Rodman rocked the red AIDS ribbon on his train wreck of a look in 1995.

18. Let’s hope Missy Elliot, pictured here in at the 2003 VMAs, didn’t use her MTV Moon Man to tee off.

17. Katy Perry was a “teenage dream” with her vintage Barbie look at the 2008 VMAs.

16. Slipknot looked slightly respectable in their suits and ties at the VMAs in 2008.

15. Before Gwen Stefani was a fashionista, she was “just a girl” in ’98 — who had blue hair and futuristic skirts.

14. Fergie‘s hat is reminiscent of “A Clockwork Orange,” but the rest of the outfit screams saucy schoolgirl at the 2006 VMAs.

13. Lenny Kravitz‘s 1998 single “Fly Away” wasn’t joking, but the rocker didn’t prove it until six years later at the VMAs.

12. How could Shakira even sit down in those skin-tight leather pants is the outrageous part of her outfit at the 2001 VMAs.

11. Jack Black is a not-so-”smooth criminal” at the 2003 VMAs, ripping off Michael Jackson’s look with more humor than style.

10. Destiny’s Child channels a Native American vibe at the VMAs in 2001. It’s more Dances With Beyonce than “Dances With Wolves.”

09. Pink — at her most, well, pink — rocks leopard and gold for a wild child look at the 2000 VMAs.

08. His eyebrows might be the most surprising part of Axl Rose‘s sporty look at the 2001 VMAs.

07. Lil Kim was as brave as they come in 1999, letting it all hang out.

06. Big Boi and André 3000 of Outkast somehow make furry pants and orange overalls look good at the 2001 VMAs.

05. Schoolgirl no more. Britney Spears debuted her biker side at the 2002 VMAs.

04. For once, Mudvayne‘s brightly-colored mohawks were not the most eye-catching part of the band’s appearance, pictured here in 2001.

03. Christina Aguilera definitely needed double-sided tape in order to avoid a “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2002 VMAs.

02. For once, Marilyn Manson, pictured here in 1998 with then-girlfriend Rose McGowan, is not the center of attention.

01. Lady Gaga showed off her many, many sides at the 2009 VMAs.

How the hell is GaGa number 1? Rose McGowan was practically nude and Mudvayne have bullet holes in their head – either of them should have been number 1. To see the full 50 craziest VMA outfits head over to the source.

PETA Upset Over Lady GaGa’s Raw Meet Bikini

Yesterday we posted this cover of Lady GaGa wearing nothing but raw meat, which has now been dubbed the meatkini, on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan.

At the end of that post I predicted PETA would lash out at the cover, well I was right. Ingrid Newkirk, the President of PETA, released a statement saying…

“Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body. No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so that’s the look they were going for, they achieved it.”

That’s it? I was expecting some fiery letter from PETA and for them to throw a bunch of raw meet on her while she’s performing. But I guess they were tame on her because she spoke out against wearing fur in the past. I am disappointed in PETA.

Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom To Unveil Unisex Fragrance

Khloe Kardashian is teaming up with her husband, Lamar Odom, to bring us a new unisex fragrance…and it’ll be just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Why does this Sasquatch think that anyone in their right minds would want to smell like her? For crying out loud, we can go native and get that stench for free. Just ask Robert Pattinson or Sarah Jessica Parker.

Lamar blabbed the news last night while attending Casio’s Rock the World event in NYC. Khloe later confirmed the news on her Twitter, saying, “My hubby just spilled the beans on our unisex fragrance.”

I wonder what they’re going to call it? Anyone want to take a stab at this one? They should name it “Funk”, “Beard”, or perhaps “Troll” would work.

What do you think?

Jackie O’s Fake Pearl Necklace For Sale

So we all know that diamonds are a girl’s best friend—but pearls sure come in close second.

Maybe that is why lovely lady Jackie O never left the White House without her pearls, which are about to be auctioned at Bonhams‘ “Pioneers of Popular Culture” sale on August 15, predicted to go for a cool $47,000.

The three-strand pearl necklace with an emerald and diamond clasp was worn by the iconic first lady in the early ’60s as a symbol of her American royalty. Yet, insider sources said that Mrs. Kennedy’s neck candy actually may not the real thing!

Surprisingly, the pearls are only worth about a few hundred bucks, and it’s been rumored that the First Lady chose to wear cheap pearls since she was prone to misplacing them.

It’s Jackie O’s legacy that seems to have seriously increased the price. So if you care for a little bit of historical glamor, now’s the time to empty those savings.

Whoopi Goldberg Accused of Abuse

The cast members of “The Real Housewives Of DC” appeared on “The View” yesterday to promote the upcoming show, but the drama that went down was far better than I’m sure the show will ever be.

Michaele Salahi was babbling on about who insulted who on the show, when Whoopi Goldberg emerged from the back area and touched her. Whoopi asked her to stay on topic, saying, “Can we go back to the White House, please?” She promptly left the stage, but most of the drama happened back there after the show.

Apparently Michaele had accused Whoopi of hitting her upon approaching her when the show was being taped. This set Whoopi off, prompting her to vehemently deny the kerfuffle. View the tape, below:

“The Daily Beast” reports that Michaele was claiming abuse at the hands of Whoopi Goldberg:

According to Lisa Bloom, the Salahi’s lawyer, Goldberg grabbed Salahi’s arm and said, “Move on, move on! Get to the White House!”

…Then, after the show finished taping, Goldberg, according to the Salahis’ lawyer, Lisa Bloom, burst into a room Michaele was sitting in with Tareq and screamed: “I didn’t f*cking hit you! Did you say I f*cking hit you?”

According to Michaele’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, she was defamed on the show by being referred to as the White House party crashers, when they were told not to mention that. They’re still claiming that they were invited, even though that’s unlikely.

Lisa Bloom said, “I think they treated her horribly. I think they defamed her. I was really shocked by the way she was treated. It’s one thing to ask tough questions, it’s another to use defamatory language when you’ve been warned not to.”

What do you think? Are they just famewhores seeking more publicity?

Lance Bass Bags New Boyfriend, Marc Jacobs’ Ex

Lance Bass has been seeing Lorenzo Martone, the onetime fiance of designer Marc Jacobs, for two months, People magazine reports.

“They’re dating each other regularly, really like each other and enjoy each other’s company,” a friend of the couple tells the magazine. “They’re going to take it one day at a time and see how it goes.”

Various media had debated whether the former ‘N Sync singer and Martone were romantically linked or just friends. “Lorenzo always thought Lance was really attractive, and Lorenzo is gorgeous, totally Lance’s type — tall, dark and handsome,” says the source. “They like the same things — movies, dinner with friends. They’re very low-key. And it’s nice that everyone in their social circles get along.”

The two met several years ago, but reconnected in June.

“Lance wasn’t interested in dating right away because he was getting over his own breakup with ['Queer Eye for the Straight Guy' star] Kyan Douglas. But Lorenzo was persistent, so they started talking and slowly spending more time together and really hit it off.”

Martone runs a New York public relations agency he founded. The two have been spotted together in Manhattan and Miami. “When they both found themselves single at the same time, and Lorenzo found out Lance was now living in New York, he jumped at the opportunity to get to know him better,” the friend says.

Lindsay Refuses To Leave Jail, Wants Hair Done

A corrections officer source explains it is the jail, not Lindsay Lohan, that decides what time and date she will be released, saying it will most likely be around midnight to minimize the press circus that will gather outside.

UNRELATED PHOTO - Ha, Ha, Ha - I couldn't help myself!

Once Lindsay is told she is free it will take her around 2 hours to be processed. During this time she will be able to call her mother, Dina, to come and get her. After all the paperwork is signed, and her belongings returned, she would be free to leave. It is at this point her glam squad has its work cut out for them.

“There is a small, dirty public bathroom in the reception area that she will be allowed to use briefly before she leaves,” an insider very familiar with Century Regional Correctional Facility said.

“She will not be allowed to plug in a hairdryer and get a blow out and she can forget about using a flattening iron. There will be no full-length mirror and only if the corrections officers decide to be nice will they close the area to the public. Remember everyone who works at that jail hates the press. They don’t want to be bothered with all this nonsense and want to rid themselves of Lindsay as quickly as possible.”

When Paris left the same prison a few years ago image experts choreographed her 30 second walk to her waiting SUV step by step, even down to when she cried out “mommy.” Lindsay’s exit will be no different and it has already been decided she will leave wearing her own brand of leggings called ’6126 by Lindsay Lohan.’

“This is Lindsay Lohan’s chance to hit the restart button. To tell the public she has learned her lesson and wants to start over fresh,” says public relations expert, Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5WPR.

“No crazy messages on her nails, looking calm and collected. She can’t look like she’s on a fashion catwalk; rather she should walk quickly with her head slightly bowed. She had her roots touched up before she went into prison and has been gone for such a short period of time, she doesn’t have to worry about that. Expect little makeup and simple hair pulled back into a ponytail.”

And don’t forget Lindsay, you are a great actress, this could be the most important 30 seconds of acting of your her career.

Jennifer Aniston Goes Topless To Sell Perfume

Jennifer Aniston is known for her girl next door looks but in a series of promotional shots for her new perfume line the actress looks anything but.

Aniston looks sexy and stunning in the three black and white shots, showcasing her perfect body, naked apart from a white skirt positioned low on her hips.

Aniston’s perfume is called Lolavie, which roughly translates as ‘laughing at life‘, and is launching Wednesday at Harrods where the perfume will be sold exclusively.

Aniston will be at the department store herself, signing bottles for customers in Harrods’ Georgian restaurant.

It’s the debut fragrance for Aniston, 41, who says she has been involved with every step of the development process over the past year and a half, from creating the scent to conceptualizing the ads which were shot at Aniston’s favorite holiday getaway spot, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Yes, Jennifer has an awesome body — but I can’t get past how desperate she always acts.
