Kate Upton For Beach Bunny Bride Campaign
Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigen has decided to try her hand at designing her own line of bikinis. According to her, she came up with the idea when she was planning her honeymoon and wanted to have a swimsuit that was sexy to show off to her new husband to be, John Legend. With that in mind, she decided to create bathing suits that future brides could feel sexy in on their honeymoons. Chrissy enlisted the help of fellow Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton to model the lines newest Beach Bunny Bride campaign.

If Superheroes Had Instagram
Are you tired of going on Instagram and seeing the same old photos of selfies or what someone had for lunch? Ever wonder what it would be like to follow one of your favorite superheroes on Instagram? Just take a minute and imagine the photos you would see and how cool they could make their photos look with the filters available.
We would get a glimpse of the world that none of us could possibly see without them, the shots of the clouds we see when someone has the window seat on the plane would be replaced by Superman's photo of the Earth from space. Those shots of peoples luxury cars would be replaced by Batman's shots of his fleet of rides. It would be pretty cool to see the world through the eyes of superheroes, and thanks to Sierra Katow, we get a chance to see what it would be like to follow them. The photos below were created by her and for more visit Comediva.

Rappers & Cereal
We've all become accustomed to artists putting their name on a number of products and really showing us their entrepreneurial spirit, from the clothing brands to alcohol, headphones, restaurants and even clubs. Many do anything to make a dollar, and for whats it's worth, I respect that artists venture into the world of business. But like any business, some succeed and well... some are destined to fail. Now think of all the products that we've seen rappers put their name behind, then imagine if your favorite rappers branched off into the world of cereal. The minds over at Rappers & Cereal made it a reality by creating some awesome images with our favorite rappers on the boxes of some of our favorite cereals. Check out some of the hilarious images below, and for more visit Rappers & Cereal.

Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza graces the pages of GQ for their August 2013 issue. The magazine caught up with Aubrey to talk about her new raunchy coming of age film The To Do List, her dream role, and her high school years. GQ enlisted the help of photographer Todd Cole to shoot Aubrey in a variety of bikinis for the issue and really captured a side of her we don't normally see.

First official photo of André 3000 from Jimi Hendrix biopic
When I first heard talks about another biopic about Jimi Hendrix, I have to admit I was pretty stoked. As a lifelong Jimi fan, I was excited to see the music legend resurrected on film. I was just curious to find out as to who would play the lead role, then I found out Andre 3000 would be the man. There's been a lot of issues involving the making of the film, and there was a point in time it looked like it wouldn't get made.
Lucky for us, the film will be premiered in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. What do you think of Andre 3000 as Hendrix? Let's pray this film is better than the Hendrix film made in 2000.

Summer of the Gun: Documenting Baltimore's Gun Violence
When it comes to summer and the weather heats up, the sad truth is one can assume that the level of violence will rise. Summer is a time that a lot of people wait the whole year for. It's supposed to be fun for those that are fortunate enough that are able to create long lasting memories that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. For others, they might have memories that they wished had never have happened. The reality is that violence is plaguing many city streets in the US, and many spend their summers hoping just to survive.
The same violence that has been affecting Chicago is also what's happening on streets of Baltimore. Photographer J.M. Giordano has been documenting the violence for Baltimore's City Paper in his Summer of the Gun series by talking to victims, their families, and attending funerals. He has taken it upon himself to shed light on the problem of violence and as he states, "The goal is to get some of the more complacent residents to give a shit."
This project puts a face on the people we only know through a blurb in a newspaper. It was created to acknowledge those that have been affected by the violence and who deserve to be acknowledged by society. Take the time to check out some of the images below, as well as the short interviews and more by visiting the Baltimore City Paper here. "By the time you read this, another funeral home will have closed the hearse door on a few more bodies and kids and grandparents and neighbors will mourn the loss of their own."
