“Is this the brave new world of professional basketball now? Are

people just going to be making Kobe look bad until he retires?”

BILL HANSTOCK AT SBNATION.COM thinks we might see more players showing up the Lakers star following John Wall’s shimmy on the ground after he hit a 3-pointer and was fouled by Kobe Bryant

during the Wizards’ 111-95 victory Wednesday.

“For the love of street-style photos of

men in shorts, someone had better step in.”

VERONIQUE HYLAND AT NYMAG.COM/THECUT begs sponsors to

pony up the $2 million the Council of Fashion Designers of America needs to realize a separate men’s New York Fashion Week. According to The New York Times, the CFDA began seeking

out interest in a July men’s runway week last fall to join the slate of those

held in London, Milan and Paris.

“It’s undoubtably one of the most entertaining music

videos of all time. Still just as great the 300th viewing

as it was the first.”COMMENTER SHANE-O AT MUSIC-MIX.EW.COM isn’t surprised that

at more than 2.1 billion views, Psy’s “Gangnam Style” video almost broke YouTube’s view counter.

Programming had limited the number of digits it could display, but Google

announced this week that it can now display into the quintillions (19 digits).

“I can’t think of a stranger or more delightful way for the biggest newspaper in

the country to leave physical pages behind.”

CHRIS ZIEGLER AT THEVERGE.COM is giddy about news that The Wall Street

Journal will begin subtly animating some of its famed headcut portraits on its

website. While Grumpy Cat’s took a few rounds of editing, the first published

animation was of a puppet of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, left.

“During her annual rendition of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,’

[Mariah] Carey missed most of the high notes she’s famous for, leaving

her backup singers to pick up the slack. It was disappointing.”

GABRIELLE BLUESTONE AT GAWKER.COM chooses the nicest words to critique the singer’s live performance Wednesday night on NBC. Many on social media
