-- Sometimes I make internal pithy comments about photographers (sorry!), but not in this case. Some of the most astonishing pics I've seen in a while. The 2013 Sony World Photography awards. 

-- A wardrobe warning email was sent out regarding attire at ther Grammy's. No breasts, no buttocks, no Eric. Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. 

-- Next week, we're going to have an extremely close callwith a 'city-killer' of an asteroid. Their calculations predict Asteroid 2012 DA14 will whistle past Earth on February 15 closer than the orbit of some weather and communications satellites, speeding by at a distance of 17,000 miles (27,400km).

That would be the planet's closest shave with an identified flying object since records began.

Asteroids and meteorites that have come closer than that have ended up colliding with the planet but this one is not thought to be a danger to either us or satellites.

-- Those Star Wars stand alones haven't been confirmed. Ideas are just being kicked around. SW rumors has become it's own vivbrant cottage industry since the annonucement of another trilogy. 

-- Justin Bieber and Rihanna. Makes my stomach turn. He just comes off as smarmy. 

-- Adam Brody and Leighton Meester. What year is this? --

-- As a Star Trek fan this EW cover disappoints me. I'll get on with my life, and I realize a sci-fi movie has to be as mainstream as possible to inject itself into pop culture and not just nerd-dom, but someone made it a point to strip away all things Star Trek from this. I've been stunned by a phaser.

-- The album cover for JT's 20/20 Experience. 1 or 2, 2 or 1, 3 or 2. Better or worse. Worse or better. If you wear glasses you'll get that.
