KTM 1190 RC8 Superbike
Looking for a superbike that will set you apart from the crowd? Import the KTM 1190 RC8 that’s available internationally but not in the U.S. The KTM 1190 RC8 is KTM’s flagship superbike. With 155 horsepower (@10,000 rpm), it’s lighter and faster than “anything that calls it competition.”

Get ready for Fall with this zip-up Y-3 Ninja Hood sweater ($305). Features include two front vertical pockets with plastic pull tabs, rib knit trim waist and thick wrist cuffs, and fully lined drawstring hood with leather details on string.
Dsquared2 Mid-Length Jacket
Style doesn’t come cheap, especially with this mid-length jacket from Dsquared2 ($930). The jacket features multiple pockets, zip fly closure, dual rear slits and lined interior. I wonder if a coat hanger is included in that price? Nah, that’s probably extra.
Kana Tsugihara Pics and Bonus Video
It’s been a while since I wrote about one of my favorite Japanese idols — Kana Tsugihara. Kana is out with a set of new pics from her Bomb TV photo shoot. She’s beautiful no doubt, but I have to give props to the photographer for the skills in these shots. I would love to
Kim Kardashian Needs to Learn How to Dance
If you think a girl with a body and ass like Kim would know how to shake it, you’re in for a surprise. Kim performed the mambo on Dancing With The Stars, and it was just utterly painful to watch. Baby got back alright, but she ain’t got the moves!

Do You Like the New Leah Dizon?
It’s been almost two years since Leah Dizon has moved to Japan and made a name for herself as a Japanese model and TV host. She’s been a much bigger success in Japan than here in the States because of her anime-like features which the Japanese absolutely love. Do you like the new dewey eyed
Aubrey O’Day Wants to be a Porn Star
That’s the feeling I get when I see these pics of Aubrey O’Day of Danity Kane fame in Complex Magazine. They’re just a bit too trashy for my taste. I can see why Diddy gets on her case constantly about her image not fitting in with Danity Kane. The big hair, the excessive makeup and
Tonchidot Shows You How to Give a Crowd Pleasing Demo
Tokyo based Tonchidot gave an amazingly cool demo of their mobile social tagging product named Sekai Camera. The app is definitely sweet, but what is even sweeter are the answers they gave during the Q&A portion of their demo. My favorite answer of the bunch — “We have a patent!”
Canon 5D Mark II and 24mm f1.4 L II USM Lens

If you’re wondering who Danny Choo is, he’s the crazy storm trooper on YouTube (over 1 million views) that dances at various places in Tokyo to the song “Let’s Groove Tonight.” Danny also has his own website dannychoo.com, where he talks about his life and work in Japan. It’s a site I visit every so
Marissa Miller Malibu Magazine Photos
Malibu Magazine has a great set of photos as well as an interview with veteran Sports Illustrated and Victoria Secret supermodel Marissa Miller. Did you always want to be a model?

Hyori Models for Top Girl 2008
The Fall 2008 collection of TOP GIRL is out, and they’ve chosen Hyori yet again as the face of their fashion line. TOP GIRL is very similar to U.S. clothing brand Bebe, which makes Hyori a perfect fit for their sexy ad campaign.
Nozomi Sasaki Spotted in Hawaii
Some lucky fella was vacationing in Hawaii and caught Nozomi Sasaki (in the white towel) and her friend strolling along the beaches of Waikiki. The duo was there for a photoshoot with Pinky Magazine and had everyone’s head turning. Hmm… I wonder why?
Nissan Skyline GT-R x BBS LM Wheels
I *heart* this combo. Pure ownage. It’s really true what they say about LMs — they look perfect on any car. For more pics, check out this thread on VWvortex.
Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) on Conan O’Brien
Curtis hits up Conan to talk about his new movie “Righteous Kill,” with Robert Deniro and Al Pacino, his record beef with Kanye West, owning Mike Tyson’s mansion, and a kissing scene he’d like to have with Eva Mendes. Fifty is pretty funny and entertaining. I actually wouldn’t mind watching Righteous Kill after seeing this
Mr Jones – The Average Day Watch
This Mr Jones “The Average Day” watch eschews the conventional division of a day into 24 hours, instead it divides into units of median daily routine. The dial shows a breakdown of what average people do on an average day, so you’re able to see what you yourself should – on average – be doing

Her American debut track “Eat You Up,” will hit stores on November 10th. For the last two years, S.M. Entertainment (BoA’s management company) has been prepping BoA for the big
MTV Video Music Awards 2008 in Photos
Why they chose an obscure British comedian to host the VMAs, I’m not sure? Jamie Fox did better as an awards presenter than Russell Brand did the entire night. Maybe his humor got better as the night went on? I’m guessing not. I wouldn’t know for sure since I fell asleep after the boring first
