Extraordinary pictures have emerged of the British chef Nigella Lawson - host of the ABC TV show The Taste -  being physically abused by her husband, the billionaire art collector Charles Saatchi, while sitting outside a fashionable London restaurant. The pictures, which are printed on the front page of the Sunday People, appear to show Saatchi, 70, reaching over and squeezing her throat four times.

The shocking abuse saw Nigella, 53, leave Scott's restaurant in Mayfair in floods of tears. No-one intervened.

The paper reports: “It was utterly shocking to watch,” said one onlooker. “I have no doubt she was scared. It was horrific, ­really. She was very tearful and was ­constantly dabbing her eyes.

Think your dad’s cool? See how he stacks up against The Daily Beast’s list of the coolest movie fathers. Keep in mind, this list ranks the coolest movie dads, not the greatest, so you won't find Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird), George Bailey (It’s A Wonderful Life), or Captain Von Trapp (The Sound of Music) here. But we love them, too.

In Paul Edwards’s comprehensive tome How to Rap, the author surveyed a plethora of rap emcees—104, to be exact—in order to demystify the rap process. The second chapter of the book, titled “Content Forms,” explores the role of braggadocio in rap; or more specifically, why boasting and dick-measuring is so prevalent in the genre. 

“When you’re a young black male in America, you feel powerless—you feel like you don’t have a voice, you’re disenfranchised—so when you get the microphone, you wanna just pump yourself up,” claims the rapper Murs. “I think that’s where all the bravado comes from, where all the braggadocio comes from.”

Now, Kanye West is far from powerless. In a much-ballyhooed recent interview with The New York Times’s Jon Caramanica, West opined that he emanated “complete awesomeness at all times,” is “so credible and so influential and so relevant” that he can inspire change, and is the cultural heir apparent to Steve Jobs (an odd comparison, given West’s history of abusing Apple products). But West still feels powerless. He’s never satisfied. And the celebrity-industrial complex is completely anathema to him. It’s this queasily symbiotic relationship between celebrities and corporations that fuels much of West’s ire on his sixth solo album, Yeezus, which will be released on June 18. It’s a sonically audacious, fascinating work of art. And if you think his interviews are unfettered, well, you ain’t heard nothing yet.

The Lonely Island: “Go Kindergarten”

In Man of Steel, the ghost of Jor-El appears and disappears and appears again while helping Lois Lane escape from a spaceship. Russell Crowe, stumbling into every shot, seems to be channeling Javert from Les Miserables. If the Kryptonian Council had seen this unintentionally hilarious scene, maybe it would’ve acted to save the movie.

Director Zack Snyder had good intentions. He has said that Man of Steel would “not be based on a comic book in particular,” a smart instinct, and mostly executed—he’s cobbled together his story from an exhaustive canon. But a good chunk of his inspiration comes from the 2010 graphic novel Superman: Earth One. Here, our hero, like Earth One’s hero, has a predisposition to wearing hoodies (before he wears the cape), and his eyes glow red when he’s angry. Thankfully, neither iteration relies on lazy storylines involving kryptonite or Lex Luthor (at least not yet).

10. Bluthfighter: The ‘Arrested Development’ Fighting Game

With the Arrested Development fervor waning, fan and computer animator Brian Anderson generated some new buzz with this video of what he imagines a game based on the show may look like.

There’s obsessed, and then there’s Herbert Chavez.

Since 1998, the native of City of Calamba in Laguna, Philippines, has had around 17 plastic-surgery procedures to make him look like his childhood idol, Superman.
