A few months back Leslie Turret went to Graceland, the place famous for being in the song by Paul Simon. We also think the guy who invented Burger King was born there or something? But seriously, Leslie took his camera with him so if you can’t afford the $500 return airfare at least you can vicariously look around and see how the world’s first super-celebrity lived.

Pretty much no one in Britain manages to go a whole summer without going to at least one festival. Once there you’ll somehow convince yourself that a field with 100,000 strangers and no formal sanitation is the perfect environment to take a ton of drugs. Here’s a heads-up of what you can expect.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is our pleasure to introduce you to the best thing to come out of Atlanta since Usher - Tammy and Tommy. They’re the band of 1000 unanswered questions… Is he for real? Are her boobs for real? Are they really a couple?

As trendy young liberal types, you don’t need me to tell you how bad Iran’s international reputation is. But to their credit, the Iranian government are trying. Just last week they set up their own version of Heat magazine’s ‘circle of shame’. Click through to find out more.

These days owning a car seems like the kind of ‘life goal’ you should hope to achieve by 30. But what car to save up for? You don’t want to wait all that time just to climb into a vehicle (status symbol) that outlines just how unsuccessful your life has turned out to be. So which depressingly realistic cars are the best to buy? Leslie Turret investigates.

Last week a scientist in America created his own artificial form of life. This has pretty much flung open the doors for humans to just create whatever life forms we want from scratch! In that case, instead of having expensive focus groups to determine what people want to introduce to the planet, let’s have internet memes tell us what we like.

Don’t get us wrong, women in real life can be funny, cute and give you the belly laughs. But that doesn’t seem to translate to famous women, or any kind of women on TV or in films. What the fuck’s up with that? Leslie Turret asks the question, can women be funny?

Danny Dyer has been in the news a lot recently because he keeps saying stupid things. The erudite observer would realise that Danny is just one big bullshitting liar, like all lads, and just ignore him. But what if we didn’t just ignore him? What if we took every word he said as gospel? In fact, what if Danny Dyer was God?

Have you seen Truelad.com? It’s the latest internet sensation to sweep laptops screens that are normally occupied by redtube or pornhub, and unlike chatroulette there is no ‘cover story’ as to why it exists. That means there’s absolutely zero chance that you might meet a 13 year old Mexican boy trying to make new friends.

Stoners are always trying to tell you that ‘it’s the end of the world’ and that something dark and sinister is going on. Similarly, some Catholics will tell you that natural disasters like this Iceland volcano business and the Chinese earthquake are God punishing those who have sinned. But you know what, that’s all rubbish because shit just happens.
