For the discerning collector of Star Wars toys and memorabilia, Hasbro action figures certainly aren’t going to cut it. No, what they’re looking for is something on par with this remarkably detailed Darth Vader figure from Sideshow Collectibles. Measuring 13.5 inches, the figure has everything from a fully articulated body — complete with ten gloved hands for various gestures, as well as a severed gauntlet and hand — to lightsabers both lit and unlit. The fabric body suit and cape is complemented with chest and belt box electronics with functional light-up features, all of which can be displayed on an Imperial-themed figure stand. A separate meditation chamber stand for Vader’s helmet and mask is also included. Set to release early next year, the $250 figure is available for pre-order now.

Today we got up late we were so tired. Oh look it39s raining. We had a nice leisurely breakfast then packed up for the start of our journey back to Amsterdam. We did do some more sightseeing first we strolled through the Jardin du Luxembourg and it was very beautiful we sat and enjoyed this peaceful oasis in the middle of Paris. After that we did some window shopping and the great thing abo

The transfer fee being mooted is around $60 million (Bloomberg).French champions PSG would be looking to pair Rooney with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the maverick genius who led their quest to the French title and Champions League quarterfinals this season.Will Rooney take up their offer? And, if he does, what would United stand to lose without him? What might they gain?Equally, let us consider the implications for PSG should Rooney swap England for France next season.In this clip, B/R's Will Tidey breaks down the implications of a possible deal and weighs up the likelihood of it coming to fruition.

After he left his native New Orleans as a teenager, the great clarinetist and, later, soprano saxophonist Sidney Bechet for decades toured widely in the United States and Europe.

The music industry was all kinds of crazy this week, from the unexpected moments at this year’s Billboard Music Awards to Paris Hilton announcing her musical comeback. (FINALLY!) Soul sisters Kelly Rowland and Beyonce both released new music, while Katy Perry found herself in a bizarre Twitter war with rapper Chief Keef.  The drama was heavy on Idolator, too: This week’s Ibrawlator was a Billboard Music Awards-themed battle of performances by Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez, while our favorite Pop Princesses — Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears — went head to head in the first installment of “Magazine Melee.” Speaking of, have you voted yet? Check out some of this week’s best comments below! :: When we asked what RiRi was Googling in our Caption This contest for the week, Sasha J. knew just what was in her search history: “Does Amazon.com deliver combs Prime?” :: According to King L., there can only be one Pop Princess: “I can’t at you putting Britney in a post with them other girls. She’s on a whole different level.” :: The Glamberts expressed their approval of Adam Lambert possibly joining the Idol judging panel, including kitty: “I’m not sure I’d want a panel of only ex-Idols, but I definately want Adam Lambert on the panel. He is smart, witty, experienced in many types of performing, edgy, articulate, compassionate and just downright gorgeous.” :: Sebastian Red is just as excited about Paris Hilton’s comeback as we are! He exclaimed (with a hashtag, of course), “#SQUUEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL I’m seriously as happy as that pig in the Geico commercial.” :: Lazorkat thinks Daft Punk’s new album is on another level: “It’s a work of art that belongs in a museum, except that it’s music, and if it was in a museum I couldn’t listen to it on repeat for 12 hours. In all seriousness this is one to set aside an evening at home, get out the Hi-Fi cans, and just appreciate a Daft Punk masterpiece. This isn’t an album built for the charts, it is sincere and obsessively produced quality.” :: JoeDaMan critiqued Maroon 5′s performance on The Voice, saying ”The Adam Levine and Maroon 5 set design and outfits on The Voice reminded me of the old tidy bowl man commercial. All dressed in white and blue liquid flowing out of the toilet. How original!” :: Kathleen Stoughton-Trahan was disappointed with this year’s Billboard Music Awards, and the entire music industry: “The whole show was a joke and only pointed out what is wrong with music today. Lip syncing belongs in the pits of hell, not on live TV shows.” :: Many people were feeling Jennifer Lopez’s Billboard Music Awards performance, especially Britney Lover: “Holy crap J.Lo tore the house down!!!!!!!!! Flawless performance of an otherwise an average song! Werk it, Mama!!!!!” :: Finally, jus10 summed up the odd Katy Perry/Chief Keef Twitter beef perfectly: “That’s the sh*t I don’t like!” Have something to say about our daily pop coverage?

Sic Alps debuted a hazy, new music video for the first of three new tracks found on their She's On Top EP. Filmed in SF, it features hometown babes, images of Grateful Dead bears, and characters in various states of freaking out. Best of all, two more videos for the rest of the EP are on the way! [via tinymixtapes.com] Oakland's Shannon and The Clams' new LP Dreams in the Rat House got a ton of praise this week! Pitchfork said, "In the number of years they’ve played together, [Shannon] Shaw and [Cody] Blanchard have learned how to disassemble the parts and rebuild them in a way that sounds both classic and wild at the same time," while Consequence of Sound lauded Shaws "effortless voice," which steals the show. There are some band logos in the world that are more recognizable the world over than, say, a politician'sname or face–and quite a few of those come from the Bay Area. All Shook Down rounded up a list of seven homegrown band logos that fit the bill. [via SF Weekly] Adult Swim and Dr. Pepper collaborated on a surprisingly legit garage rock compilation, featuring a slew of Bay Area notables like Thee Oh Sees, former Oaklanders Weekend, Mikal Cronin, Gris Gris, and more. You can download it for free here. [via Adultswim.com] A few local clubs are alleging that the SF Entertainment Commission's sole inspector, Vajra Granelli, has been punishing them with official citations if the clubs do not choose to do business with Granelli's private security firm, Yojimbo Protection Services. Though Granelli denies it all, All Shook Down makes some interesting points on the matter. Crossing fingers that this isn't true. [via SF Weekly] It seems that even over in Paris, SF's ever changing psychedelic rock movement gets major props. In July, the City of Light will host the City Sounds Festival: San Francisco Edition, featuring the Bay's very own wigged-out musical wizards Thee Oh Sees, Warm Soda, Ty Segall and Shannon and the Clams, as well as further-flung White Fence and Moon Duo.

The tennis world descends on the City of Love in a sport where players aim to be loveless for the second major of the year: the French Open at Roland Garros. In tennis, love means nothing, and it's a score every player wants to avoid, no matter the cost.Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are no doubt the favorites. Serena's won 24 matches in a row while Rafa's streak stands at 15 after he bounced back from his first loss in Monte Carlo after claiming the tournament a jaw-dropping eight years in a row.But who can drop some jaws in Paris? Maria Sharapova is the defending women's champion, and over the past year, Victoria Azarenka has proven that she is perhaps the biggest threat to Serena's solid grip of power. Novak Djokovic has said it is his biggest goal of 2013 to win the French, while Roger Federer sits safely on the other side of the draw from his two biggest rivals.We'll take a look at the top players' draws at Roland Garros while placing odds on how they'll perform and breaking down just what they'll have to do to win seven straight on the grueling, unforgiving red clay.Begin Slideshow
