The rapper Flo Milli had given herself a deadline: She was going to be famous by 18.

The 100 Sequences That Shaped Animation Presented by The 100 Sequences That Shaped Animation Presented by When we set out to reimagine the iconic ’80s heroine She-Ra’s transformation for She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Sailor Moon was an obvious reference point. For a child, nothing is more satisfying than a good transformation sequence. Kids are constantly going through their own transformations as they grow and change, and it’s awkward and mysterious and sometimes scary — there’s nothing powerful or glamorous about it.

Even the title of Elizabeth Wurtzel’s Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America sounds like an excuse. With more than a hint of grandiose self-pity (and some MTV-style marketing savvy), it strives to position its author as a poster child for a putative bluesy youthquake, pretending to offer us not just the memoir of one woman’s early sorrows but a newsworthy generational complaint.
Way harsh: An Internet Famous painting of a nude Bea Arthur went for just $1.915 million after auction house Christie’s estimated its value at anywhere between $1.8 and $2.5 million. You’ve already seen it. John Currin’s infamous portrait, titled Bea Arthur Naked, is not necessarily an accurate rendering of the late Arthur’s bosom (the actress never sat for Currin), but has made quite a stir online.

It seems appropriate that J.K. Rowling, creator of a rich world of witches and wizards, would hold her 50th birthday celebration on Halloween despite the fact that her birthday is in July. And her party last year wasn’t your average birthday slash Halloween party (did you really think dressing up as a plain old black cat to celebrate the woman who created creatures like hippogriffs would suffice?)— she instructed her guests to come dressed as their own “private nightmare.

’Black Swan’ Fox Searchlight has responded to a lawsuit filed by former Black Swan interns Alex Footman and Eric Glatt, who claim that the (mind-numbing) unpaid work they performed on the set of the movie violated U.S. labor laws. The studio, which distributed the film, isn’t trying to argue that brewing coffee for Natalie Portman constitutes valuable industry experience. They’re just saying that director Darren Aronofsky’s production company is responsible for all those hours of wasted youth: “These interns were not even retained by Fox Searchlight and, in fact, were working for the production company that made Black Swan well before Fox Searchlight even acquired its rights in the film.
