Get Free Perfume & Win A Holiday & Stuff
Two things we like but, as professional bloggers, haven't done in years are go on holiday and smell nice. We've forgotten what both of those things are like. But you, you lucky sods, have the chance to do both. After the jump is a widget where you can sign up and get sent free samples of 212 Sexy. Plus, if you submit your 'sexy places', you'll enter a competition to win a weekend in New York. That's geographical sexy places, obviously. You can't just write 'my balls'. That's not allowed. Apparently. Anyway, it's all after the jump.

Madonna/ Britney/ Timberlake Queasy Threeway – Tonight
If you're a fan of awkward sexually-charged small-talk, you could do a lot worse than getting to Madonna's concert in Los Angeles tonight. Why? Because Madonna plans to have two very special guests performing with her - Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. If Madonna pulls it off, it has the potential to be the messiest reunion in history - don't forget that all three of them have had their tongue inside Britney Spears' mouth at one point or another, with the possible exception of Britney Spears. If you ask us, this reeks of publicity stunt. And not even a good one - if Madonna really wanted people to go to her show tonight she wouldn't just stop at Justin Timberlake - she'd hire everyone Britney Spears has ever slept with. Britney and Justin? Pah. Britney and Justin and Kevin Federline and Adnan Ghalib and that guy Britney married for like half an hour? All voguing like their lives depended on it? Now we're talking.

Angelina Jolie Snarls Up All Traffic In New York Forever, Possibly
You might be pleased that Angelina Jolie has returned to New York with Brad Pitt and all her children, but your joy could be misplaced. That's because the logistics of shipping the world's most famous couple plus all their assorted children to one of the world's busiest cities are a nightmare. Such a nightmare, in fact, that Angelina Jolie's gigantic army of family and staff apparently brought traffic to a grinding standstill in the area surrounding her hotel yesterday. However, we get the feeling the this giant traffic jam was nothing more than a clever promotional stunt for Angelina Jolie's new movie The Changeling. After all, it used to be known as the boring-looking movie that Angelina Jolie only did because she thought she'd get an Oscar out of it, and now it's the movie that made a few New Yorkers a couple of minutes late for their tea. And that's probably better, we'd imagine.

David Blaine Idiot Update: Upside Down & Expecting Us To Care
As we speak, David Blaine is hanging upside down six storeys above Central Park, and nobody seems to have told him that it's a crap idea. Nobody seems to know exactly why David Blaine has decided to hang upside down above Central Park for 60 hours in a row without food or sleep. It's probably best to presume that it's just another one of those attention-seeking stunts he does from time to time because his mother didn't hug him very often. However, with this stunt David Blaine runs the risk of doing some very serious damage to himself. Apparently some kind of medical genius has decided that being upside down for 60 hours might make the blood go to David Blaine's head, which could harm his eyesight. Bad news for David Blaine, but good news for those of us who want the stunt to end with David Blaine's eyeballs popping out of his head, sending jets of blood spraying around in all directions over a crowd of screaming onlookers. And, face it, deep down that's all of us.

Awesome Or Off-Putting: Sasquatch Family Sighted
Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, myths, ancient artifacts, religion, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable. So some town in New York state has had a rash of Bigfoot sightings recently - and of multiple creatures at a time too. To quote one witness referring to a sighting she had on her property: "It had a juvenile with it about my height." To quote another witness: "I kind of wanted to shave it, put it in a silk shirt and bring it to a German discotheque." OK - we made up quote #2 - but the first one is authentic! Read on!

Boy George To Punish (ex) Co-Workers With Free Concert
Boy George is taking it back to the streets of New York; the very same ones that he tore a new a-hole a couple of years back. But rather than being armed with a sweeping brush and a dashing outfit, he'll be back to what he's more used to. Well, he'll be back to what he was more used to a decade or two back when he still had a career beyond 'celebrity' DJing. That's right sanitation workers of NYC - Boy George is going to play a gig for you! All for you! Even you! And you! Not you though.

Lindsay Lohan Might Have Stolen A Coat Once Or Something
The world of partially uncorroborated celebrity coat-theft accusations has just got a whole lot hotter, and it's all thanks to Lindsay Lohan. According to a woman by the name of Masha Markova, Lindsay Lohan stole and was photographed wearing an $11,000 fur coat of hers in January, and it was only returned three months later after Masha started threatening everyone with lawsuits. And now Masha Markova is chasing Lindsay Lohan for a $10,000 'rental fee'. There's been no official word from Lindsay Lohan about these accusations yet, but that's probably just because she's ashamed of herself. If the claims are true, you see, it means that Lindsay's just been outwitted by a woman who leaves $11,000 fur coats lying around in bars. Nice one, shithead.

JK Rowling: That Unauthorised Harry Potter Book Is ‘Theft’
As if yesterday's thrilling installment of That Court Case Where JK Rowling Gets Upset Because Someone Else Wrote A Harry Potter Book wasn't enthralling enough, there's more. That's because yesterday JK Rowling made it into court to speak about her outrage that a third-party Harry Potter reference book, The Lexicon Of Harry Potter, was being published without her say-so. "We all know I've made enough money. hat's absolutely not why I'm here," JK Rowling told the courtroom. And that sounds fair - quite often the mega-wealthy lose the thrill of making money and replace it with a new interest.
