For most of us, 15 minutes, several putty knives, and a giant canvas would not be the ideal way to go about turning the art scene upside down. But then again, Nigerian born Austino Okafor is not most people. Like if it were me, i might need a few days, or a few weeks, and at least a paint brush for chrissakesAside from creating the Di-Fusion art movement, Okafor plans on contributing more to humanity...

Nothing special to report there.But NBC just changed the Megan Mullally Show from 4pm to noon. Is the Megan...

If you are a "large lady" or "one of the men who loves them", the odds are that you've already heard of Club Moxie, located on the Redondo Beach Pier.
