Destroyed
Do, Dump or Marry? Rocker Andrew WK
Classically trained pianist, motivational speaker, and avowed feminist, Andrew Party Hard WK is a modern day Renaissance Man.
On top of all his other whirlwind activities, he hosts a new show on the Cartoon Network debuting June 20 called Destroy Build Destroy in which two teams of teens destroy buildings and rebuild them into something new. How does he have time to do all this while also being ridiculously hot?

Robert Downey Jr. to Try Defying Gravity
The Iron Man is going to blast off! Robert Downey Jr. has lined up his next big blockbuster: the actor is in talks to star in Gravity, a sci-fi film directed by Alfonso Cuaron.
This is just the latest in Downey Jr.'s string of action flicks — Iron Man 2 is out May 7, and he starts shooting the sequel to Sherlock Holmes this Fall.
Consumer Reports Files Petition Over Industry Misuse of "Organic"
Today, the publisher of Consumer Reports and the Organic Consumers Association filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission. They're asking for action against the widespread false use of the word "organic" on beauty, skin care, and personal care products.
Makes sense, since many beauty products claim to be organic or natural when they're actually nothing of the sort.

BuzzSugar's Top 20 Albums of 2006: Part II
Not every year can be a great year for music, and 2006 was just okay. It didn't help that this year was sandwiched between 2005—which gave us great albums by Kanye West, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Sufjan Stevens—and 2007, which promises new releases from Wilco, Arcade Fire, and Timbaland. While choosing my Top 10 for the year was a cinch, coming up with the bottom 10 was tough.
Song of the Day: Swan Lake, "The Freedom"
I'm a big fan of Dan Bejar's Destroyer and Spencer Krug's band, Wolf Parade, so I'm really not sure how I missed the album, Beast Moans, which came out in November. It's the debut release from Swan Lake, a collaboration between Bejar, Krug, and Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes, and from what I've heard, it really brings together the best of all three bands. I particularly like this rather invigorating track, called "The Freedom," which you can listen to below.
Early Listen: Of Montreal's New Album
Of Montreal may not be a household name, but the versatile band has been writing great psychedelic pop songs since 1997. Better yet, Of Montreal's music just gets catchier and more cohesive with each new release. Its upcoming album, Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?, follows in the frenzied footsteps of 2004's stellar Satanic Panic in the Attic, and although the album doesn't go on sale until Jan.
Backstage Pass To LFW Autumn 2010: Erdem
The vibe backstage at the 2010 Autumn Erdem Fashion Show was frenzied but fun. After giving famed hairdresser Charles Worthington a friendly kiss hello (more later on how I know him), I was able to snag a moment with his head stylist Marc Trinder to discuss the look du jour. He described the inspiration behind the hairstyle as "fierce bohemian.
Bella Interview: SJP Dishes About Her New Fragrance
Earlier today, we caught up with Sarah Jessica Parker at a brunch to celebrate the launch of her new Carrie Bradshaw-inspired fragrance, SJP NYC Eau de Toilette ($35-49). The fruity floral, which contains notes like strawberries, mandarin, honeysuckle, sandalwood, vanilla, and creamy musks, is available exclusively at Macy's for the time being, but expect to see a bit more hoopla surrounding the new scent when the Sex and the City 2 flick premieres this May. In the meantime, find out what Sarah Jessica had to say about her latest fragrance venture when you read more.
