Twitter : credit: TimOfLegend Tim Schafer (@ TimOfLegend ) sent out two unnerving Twitter messages this morning. A crime, it seems, occurred on the J Church during the AM commute. "Holy crap! A guy just pulled a gun on a lady and took her iPhone on the J Church!!! WTF?" And: "Someone chased the mugger down the block until the dude stopped, turned around, and waved his gun at him." [ PIC ] Anyone else witness what went down? We'll update as soon as we know more.

But, at least one crusader is using a so-called narcissistic and shallow avenue to disprove those Information Age haters. The RoofCoffeeCup Twitter account is attempting to prove that...

Kate may dream of movie roles , but judging from JoGo’s awkward mugging, we’d be surprised if he scored a cameo in Daddy Day Care 3 . Stick to Insider appearances , dude. Better yet, make a video...

Review: Women in Trouble: PHOTO
By Jette Kernion (reprint from 3/17/09 -- SXSW Film Festival) I'm wary of movies that try to be instant cult/camp classics, with intentionally overdone dialogue and outrageous costumes and actors who are metaphorically winking or even non-metaphorically mugging for the camera. When the characters are in on the joke, it isn't all that funny. And when I learned that the writer-director of Women in Trouble also co-wrote Snakes on a Plane , I grew even more skeptical. But the actresses who populate...

Wyclef Jean: "Streets Pronounce Me Dead" (Video)
Wyclef dies and is reborn in what I suspect is some heavy symbolism in the video for "Streets Pronounce Me Dead," a single from his From the Hut, to the Projects, to the Mansion . It's an interesting thought--Wyclef is "dead" on the streets because he's no longer a "street" rapper--but having Drama mugging in the video is never a good idea, even if you're Lil Wayne.   From the Hut is out now.

Jon Gosselin & Hailey Glassman are your new Heidi & Spencer
Considering TLC is suing Jon Gosselin up the anus, it's no surprise he spent the weekend with Hailey Glassman mugging for the Paparazzi to make some extra money. Now, I don't know what's sadder: that somebody's actually using Heidi & Spencer as a business model, or that these shots almost make me miss Fleshbeard and Chins McJugs. Call them the vapid taint of civilization, but at least they were photogenic. -- Goddammit, Jon, now look what you made me say. I hope Hailey has 100-tuplets and gets...

A string of Central Park robberies stoke fears
Heather Haddon The bad old days may be sprouting again in Central Park. Three Muggings have taken place in the leafy retreat in the last month, with the crooks working in teams and largely eluding authorities. “Sounds like the old and wild Central Park back in the day,” said Tony Walker, 40, a native New Yorker from Queens. Just after midnight Sunday, robbers stuck up two men in their 20s near 102 Street and East Drive, swiping a bank card and wallet, police said yesterday. When a...

Quick Bits: Harry Potter Spells: PHOTO
Harry Potter Spells on the iPhone seems like a good idea. I mean who wouldn’t want to be a wizard and shout out Lumos or Expelliarmus and wave their wand? This could have been the equivalent to the Lightsaber Unleashed iPhone App for wizarding fans. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t play as advertised. It uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to track your movements. Each spell has a distinct gesture, but when you actually try it, nothing goes right. This is a case of good idea; poor...
