The holiday season must be upon us, as we’ve been seeing more and more fair isle sweaters out here on the east coast. The knitting technique used to create patterns with multiple colors has been around for a minute, but first gained popularity back in the 1920’s when the Prince of Wales began rocking shirts with this type of knit in public. Now this throwback has returned with a slick modern styling. But are they too cheesy and festive? Tell us if these sweaters should be HUMP‘d or if they need to be DUMP‘d. Vote below…

If not for sassy Sandra Bullock, this young black man would be living on the streets.
The Blind Side, a new sports drama based on Michael Lewis‘ book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game, tells the real-life, against-all-odds story of Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Michael Oher, who came from a broken home and lived alone on the mean streets of Memphis, Tennessee before becoming a football star. How did he do it? He was saved by some well-to-do white folks, of course!
Not to take anything away from Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, the good people who took Oher in and helped him realize his potential, but seriously, why do sports movies always have to focus on black ghetto kids going nowhere fast until their great white hope comes along to teach them how to not be illiterate or go to jail? Whatcha tryna say, Hollywood Honky-wood? Black people can’t make it without benevolent whites? Don’t make us call Rev. Al on you! To see why we’re suspicious and steamed, check out these other, pattern-forming sports movies about light-skinned saviors.

In case you didn’t catch our recent Wake N’ Watch post, Fight Club celebrated its 10th anniversary this week by holding special midnight screenings and releasing a special edition DVD. Aside from its themes of social and economic upheaval, crazy fight scenes and lessons on soap making, Fight Club also boasted one of the most eccentric characters in film history: Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt).
Almost as crazy as his personality was his style of dress, which was a complete departure from the straight laced style of his alter ego The Narrator, played by Edward Norton. Halloween’s long gone, but you can still co-opt both their looks into your own style. Check below to see how to dress like the dudes from the timeless classic…

Penelope Cruz for Mango, 2008
Oh, Penelope Cruz. What more can we say about the Spanish stunner that hasn’t already been said? Well, not only is Cruz one of the hottest girls of the decade, #23 to be exact, but she also has no problem starring in movies where her sexuality is explored.
In her new Almodóvar movie Broken Embraces, which opens this weekend, Cruz plays a call-girl named Lena who becomes a mistress to one dude, and then falls in love with another. Yeah, she’s getting it in. Her latest role is just another bullet point on her scandalous resume, that includes making out with Scar Jo, and hooking up with Charlize Theron. As much as we’re jealous of her past conquests, we’re also very thankful they happened. Which is why we gave her the Ultimate Archive treatment on this fine Friday. So sit back, and enjoy clicking through PC’s hottest pics…

Grammy-award winning singer Robin Thicke is an expert at writing sensual music the ladies love. Don’t think that makes him soft though—he’s still your favorite rapper’s favorite R&B crooner. His fourth LP Sex Therapy drops on December 15th, and we think there’s a pretty good chance that keeping it in rotation will help you get laid. Seriously.
Given the theme of the album, we set out to get some sexual confessions from the man who landed the gorgeous Paula Patton, but (always the gentleman) he refused to “kiss and tell.” Instead, we got him to reveal his favorite tunes to get down to and why he thinks Nicki Minaj is a dope date. Check out the quick Q&A and watch the “Sex Therapy” video below…
