There was a ton of birthday suit action last year, a lot of it resulting from protests over censorship regarding nudity, which of course gave us some lovely flesh-flashing in the first place. So genitals begat screaming, which begat more genitals and of course (they never learn) more screaming. An ... More >>
From a deranged Dirty Harry to the rise of Honey Boo Boo, it was a long, strange, sad, and silly trip
Here they are, loveys! Don't they look like marvelous little crumpets in the sun? Or maybe like some bangers waiting for some mash? And lord knows what kind of Shepherd's pie the woman has!
By Chris Gray The passion of Randy Travis has been one of the saddest and most compelling musical dramas of the past year. One of Nashville's most beloved and seemingly mild-mannered singers (now a North Texan) has suddenly gone full-on Johnny Paycheck, brawling in church parking lots, popping out ... More >>
I don't want to see any reality shows, actually, but here are some I'd particularly kick in my set to avoid: *Head Games Severed heads are used as bowling balls in this macabre slice of life, filled with trailer trashy people looking for cheap recreational thrills. See if you can spot some of you ... More >>
The British dailies are generally scum-sucking, low-level, trash-scouring rags that wouldn't be fit to stuff up a Prince's mistress as a tampon. And that's what I love about them. But they were suddenly oh so tasteful when those bare-bum photos of Prince Harry emerged from a Vegas game of "strip b ... More >>
Two yogis battle over the fate of a tradition (and a pile of money)
Like anyone who's recently moved, Governor Cuomo has been doing a lot of shopping (for the Executive Mansion, in his case), spending "about $300 in recent months" reports the Daily News. State workers have been sent to Albany-area Walmarts for supplies for Cuomo's official abode. This is to k ... More >>
Big news: Prince Harry is getting his own comic book and graphic novel come August. Both are called "The Royals: Prince Harry" and both feature creepy cover art. In one version Harry has brown hair and kind of looks like George W. Bush (anyone else see it?) while a framed picture of Diana in ... More >>
Polo is once again coming to Governors Island this weekend for the fourth annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, but this year it is without what has become its main attraction: Prince Harry. The city tittered with excitement last year when Harry landed on our shores for a summer jaunt. Back the ... More >>
The number of dead from the tornados that ravaged the South this week has climbed to 342, officials say. Wednesday's storms are the second deadliest tornado outbreak in U.S. history.

British bookmakers William Hill have released odds for a series of events on and around the royal wedding. They are also changing their name for the day to "William & Kate" because what are gambling addicts going to do, not gamble due to a stupid name? The list of odds includes standard offer ... More >>
via Kate Middleton For The Win Kate Middleton, lest we even begin to forget, is a commoner. Naturally, she has some embarrassing family members, as the British tabloids have been sure to uncover thoroughly. For example, there's Katrina Darling, a burlesque dancer and second cousin of Kate. Then t ... More >>
via Kate Middleton For The Win The Most Important Wedding Of Our Time is less than a week away, and the official guest list and seating plan have been confirmed. Not a lot of surprises among the 1,900 lucky invitees: Elton John, David Beckham and Posh Spice, Guy Ritchie, other royals from aro ... More >>
While the House of Windsor knows full well how to make a media splash (just look at the Royal Wedding website) they are being curiously reticent about the matter of Prince William's bachelor party. All we know is that the party involved 22 of William's "closest friends," that they went to a f ... More >>
#76, Golden Girls Xmas OrnamentsSo many gift guides, so little time. But how many lists of gifts under $50, or gifts for moms-to-be, or gifts for boyfriends and girlfriends and dogs can you really look at before wondering, where is the gift guide to end all gift guides? Where is the gift guid ... More >>
At long last, the Queen of England has a Facebook page. Well, actually, it's the entire "official British Monarchy" page, which went live this morning and allows you to receive thrilling updates from the British family if you "like" it. Similar to England itself, the page represents dueling f ... More >>
Fourth of July weekend is when Americans get all giddy about independence and democracy, right? Well, that's the case most years, at least until the beer-guzzling numbs the patriotism, but this year was different -- this year, American pride shared the weekend spotlight with the World Cup qua ...

via the Huffington PostFrom childhood onward, books, fairy tales, and idealistic parents condition women to desire a handsome prince. Then, eventually, the notion is accepted as a metaphor for whatever acceptable guy you've got (He held the door for me -- what a prince!). But when a real prin ... More >>
Ladies, ladies, ladies. It's time to dig deep for that Chelsy Davy impersonation and maybe freshen up your roots, because a real, live prince is in town this weekend. And even though he's only third in line for the throne and has, to be fair, exhibited some behavior perhaps ill suiting the cr ... More >>
Okay, we're just assuming that the rather pricey single shoes recently found in the streets of Manhattan are due to some rather drunken single lady behavior. Why else would one allow a $600 shoe to simply fall from a presumably well-pedicured foot and then lie in the street unclaimed? Why not ... More >>
Prince Harry saddles up on Governors Island
Apparently, a trend has been sweeping the land that somehow escaped us here at Fork in the Road. It's called "vodka eyeballing," and it's pretty much what you think it is.
Lynn Hirschberg was adamant in an interview Tuesday with the Observer's John Koblin that, although M.I.A. had tapes that seemed to show that Hirschberg misquoted her in Sunday's now-famous Times Magazine profile, she'd gotten her reporting right. At issue? A disputed quote involving the Gramm ... More >>
Via the New York Post, Prince Harry is going to play Polo in the Hamptons against a guy named "Nacho" who's also a model for Ralph Lauren. Previously, that time he dressed as a Nazi and called a fellow soldier "Paki" and "Towelhead." Thankfully, he will never be regarded as anything remotely ... More >>
She released an incoherent polemic of a video featuring nudity (NSFW!) and some truly distasteful violence (child murder! landmines!). For some reason, Pitchfork handed her the keys to their Twitter feed; she's spent the day spewing out streams of "go egosurfing DRINK A SHOT OF TEQUILLA spamouflag ... More >>
Oh, Jesse James. We at the Voice are so over people dressing like Nazis. Here's a tip, JJ: If Prince Harry apologized for it in 2005, it's a trend that's jumped the shark. (Personally, I thought it was over in 1945, but then I've never been into the military look ... Grey-green? Not my color. ... More >>
This amazing photo brought to you by M.I.A.The weird Time 100 fairy tale gets even weirder for M.I.A.. On Tuesday, she was invited to, and then attended--as this amazing picture to the left clearly shows--a gala at Lincoln Center in celebration of the most influential people list the mag just releas ...

Let's think for just a moment about how much M.I.A. actually supports the Tamil Tigers
Sass, radical chic, and the inevitable emanation of shanty house theory, but is that enough?
