“I feel like even though the world feels big and intimidating, it’s almost calming to realize that even within the smallest thing, like a cell, there’s an infinity.” - Amandla Stenberg

Madea

Everything Else

People just love them some Madea. A year after the first one, Boo 2! A Madea Halloween came in at number one at the box office with a healthy take of $21 million. It is now director Tyler Perry’s 10th number-one film, and he certainly has a devoted fan base. Nevermind the fact that the film only ended up with an 8 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The man is critic-proof, and you can already expect A Madea Family Funeral next year, naturally. Nothing else released this weekend will probably wind up with a sequel or continuation. Geostorm certainly won’t. Starring Gerard Butler, the $120 million disaster flick was rumored to have had all sorts of issues and even had to undergo extensive reshoots late last year to save what Deadline called an “unwatchable” original cut. Despite all that, the film only racked up a hair over $13 million.

Yayoi Kusama

Your Selfies

Yayoi Kusama is an 88-year-old who lives in a mental hospital in Japan. She is also perhaps Instagram’s favorite artist—this despite not having an account of her own. Known for polka dots and mirrored rooms that create the perfect selfie backdrop, her exhibits are hot tickets wherever they open. The 90,000 tickets released for her latest at Los Angeles’ Broad Museum quickly sold out, and the museum had to institute a special rule mandating that museum goers can only have 30 seconds each in her Infinity Rooms, which, of course, means they only have 30 seconds to get the perfect selfies. Of course, you can look at any selfie taken at the museum for as long as you want. Some of the best from the show’s opening days are here.

Justin Bieber’s 26-Hour Tattoo

Pristine Flesh

We’ve seen Justin Bieber grow from tiny, untattooed little Canadian to a tattoo-curious teen. Now, right before our eyes, he’s fully formed into his final state: Guy who has a so many tattoos that, actually, it’s a little weird, but hey, if it makes him happy, so be it. Last week, Bieber added to the collection with a marathon 26-hour tattoo session spread out over three days. The result: Basically the front half of his torso is almost completely inked up. The new additions: skeletons, an eagle, gargoyles, and a portrait of a lion and a bear that stand guard over each pec. Biebs debuted the new work on his Instagram, and fans are going nuts.
