Banksy’s making videos now

International art man of mystery Banksy, who’s currently stencilling his way around New York, interrupted the usual flow of graff pics on his website yesterday with this odd video, in which Arab rebels shoot rockets at a beloved Disney cartoon character.

“What does it even mean?” yelled the internet, while an international religious war broke out in the video’s YouTube comments. Good one, Banksy.

Justin Bieber’s new song and Paris Hilton’s new song and R.Kelly’s new song all want you to listen to them

And they’ll all make you feel various levels of shame. Bieber’s song is called ‘Heartbreaker’ and sounds like tropical teenage masturbation. Paris Hilton’s song is called ‘Good Time’ and sounds like cheap drugs. R. Kelly’s song is called ‘Cookie’ and will wreck Oreos forever. Take your pick!

Lady Gaga’s ARTPOP cover is real art

Well, I guess that kinda depends on your opinion of Jeff Koons? Gaga revealed the album artwork on Twitter this morning: overlaid on snippets of Botticelli’s The Birth Of Venus, she’s been turned into a provocative naked sculpture clutching a blue ball by the guy famous for turning colourful flowers into a giant puppy and gold-plate into Michael Jackson and Bubbles.
