Newsgasm: Cause You Can’t See Tits on the Radio Edition

  • Since the world clearly is wanting for exposure to Britney Spears‘s breasts, midriff, and vagina, a New York sculptor has created a “pro-life” monument to Ms. Spears’s timeless act of motherhood. The life-size sculpture features Ms. Spears on all fours on a bearskin rug, ass in the air, ready to pop out some younguns. I imagine the Franklin Mint miniature is not far off. [Send2Press]
  • The season finale of Grey’s Anatomy will be THREE HOURS LONG: an hour in the usual timeslot on Sunday 5/14, followed by two hours on Monday 5/15. I understand that they’re eager to get ad money and try out the show on a different night, but that seems like a little much. [Variety]
  • Tom Cruise has continued his manic, showily affectionate, couch-hopping ways, this time at a Yahoo! corporate event in Silicon Valley. It would kinda be great if he just went away. [AP]
  • And Randy Quaid is suing the Brokeback Mountain producers, claiming they characterized the film as an art-house picture that would never make any money, thus duping him into accepting minimal pay. What, the jumbo-size Eros Bodyglide and Barbra Streisand: The Television Specials DVD weren’t sufficient compensation? WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT? [Defamer]

    Isn’t it sad knowing Michaelangelo died before getting a chance to express his creativity with the inspiration of Britney’s nude form?

    OK, this is sculpture in the round. Obviously one is going to wonder what this thing looks like from all angles. Seriously, that cannot be a pretty sight.

    And what the eff does a bearskin rug have to do with anything. Not that I’m a member of PETA or something, but does seem a bit of an incongruous prop for something meant to celebrate “life”.

    In short, wtf x infinity.

    I think the face on that sculpture looks more like Katherine Heigl (Izzie) from Grey’s Anatomy. About the rest of the sculpture : EW????!

    That sculpture is completely offensive and woman-hating. And I don’t really believe that it’s an actual pro-life monument, I think it’s a hipster’s idea of a hilarious joke. I mean, that’s what we’re all assuming, right?

    chronic (#2) wonder no more

    “…posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean’s head.”

    That is disturbing to even me, someone who just gave birth 8 weeks ago and should still have those wacky hormones that would make this sorta thing seem okay. (props to Tvgasm for helping get me through bedrest).

    I thought she had a scheduled C-section anyway?

    First of all that does not look like Britney Spears. Even if you factor in labor and stress change to the face. I am so glad the website didn’t show the back view.
    Molly- the positioning is only ridiculous from an aesthetic standpoint. It is an actual position for birthing though rarely done in the western world.
    As to Mr Quaid, he may have a good case but I doubt he’s worth $10 mil but then no actor is in my opinion.
    And I agree the Mr Cruise needs to send his theton hating persona into the closet and never come out again. So tired of the antics. Hail Xenu!

    I also love how the article says something about Brit putting “family before her career”. Of course, that’s only if its her family.

    If it is someone else’s family, *cough shar jackson cough* then it is ranked lower on the priority list. Probably right below wearing shoes in public restrooms.

    I agree it’s a hoax. Considering what neighborhood it’s in, and the other art the gallery shows, and the fact that the quotes in the article are completely outrageous (like anyone has to study a “Canadian” bearskin rug for accuracy), it’s yet another chapter of the trendy ironic hipness that is life off the L train. SO worth all the time and effort…

    Actually its conceptual art. Since the pictures on the website avoid showing us the “money shot” from behind, we’re left to conceptualize in our head what her cooter looks like.

    Trust me, I went to art school.

    Good lord.. that statue is freakin hideous.
    There is nothing motherly.. nothing beautiful about a pregnant woman on elbows and knees… looking like she’s ready to be pounded doggy style.
    That thing ig grotesque.

    Does anyone know if Britt Britt has released a statement? (or submitted a bid to buy? This looks about her decor style, from what i’ve seen in ‘in touch’)

    I do not understand this country’s fascination with that white trash, beat down, ragged out, filthy hillbilly skank Spears! Now, some nutcase makes a pregnant statue of her? Disgusting.

    ” Puts family before her career” she says? What career? It should say, “Puts family through a car windshield”.

    She has offered nothing to pop culture or the music industry, ever.

    Her endless ridiculous antics are analyzed and brought to the our attention, and for what reason? To what end? It is an outrage.

    I won’t this disease to fade away.

    But isn’t it best to let sleeping dogs lie, or something?

    KatiesHole, I agree with you completely. Further reflection on the statue at the news website leads me to believe it isn’t even Britney. I think the artist couldn’t get anybody to pay attention to his statue so he claimed it was Ms Spears so everyone would go “ooh” and “ahh”. Since baby Sean was not even born naturally this makes more sense. The gallery’s art director said the bear skin was traditional but who’s taken naked pictures of their kid on a bear skin in the last 50 years? What a bunch of tools.

    I suspect that we will see Britney in this position when she tries to jump start her career, when the secret sex tape makes it way to the internet…just like our girl Jenna Lewis from Survivor…
