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…

Moncler and Pharrell Williams are set to work together on the Fall 2010 Moncler V Collection, the Italian outerwear maker’s collaborative initiative. Visvim has taken part in the past, so you know it’s gonna be fancy. [Freshness Mag]
The dark and fucked up world of Tim Burton is on display at the MoMa in New York City from November 22, 2009 to April 26, 2010. We haven’t seen it yet, but we’re gonna out on a limb and say this is gonna be a must. [MoMA]

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…
Cleveland Browns x Nike? No, actually Hiroshi Fujiwara x Nike. The man known for his understated designs on sneakers took over an under-the-radar silo in the Match Classic, and hooked up it up premium suede, and this Eric Manginifriendly colorway. The sneakers already hit CaliRoots, but those in the state should check 21 Mercer to cop. Oh, and keep them away from Mangina, please.
We’ve always repped for Quentin Tarantino (and his women) and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise in the past, so it was a pleasant surprise to run across this unique viral video that’s making its rounds on the web right now. Imagine if the worlds of Reservoir Dogs and TMNT were combined and this mash-up is what you get. Seems a bit odd, but trust us, if you like either in the least you’ll find this entertaining.

WHY WE COSIGN: As of late, sneaker boutiques have been popping up like babies in the ’50’s. And if you consider yourself a sneakerhead that should be good news. But what we’ve noticed are a bunch of stores with no differentiating qualities, all peddling the same semi-exclusives. What happened to having design concepts as dope as the products you were selling? Looking to distance themselves from the rest of the kick pushers, the folks behind Miami Beach’s Air Traffic Control have done just that with one of the most inventive shop themes we’ve seen: an airport. What better place to get fly?
Opened by three homies who shared a love of sneakers, it’s obvious as soon as you walk through the doors that this isn’t one of those fly-by-night pop up shops. The first think you’ll notice is the cool stainless steel shelving that holds sneakers sick enough to make Bun B drool—If you can’t find a pair in this consignment-type shop, you probably can’t get ‘em. You’ll then peep the large conveyor belt that shuffles sneakers around much like the baggage claims found in real airports. Pretty genius. And, of course, they also stock dope t-shirts and hats to match with your newly purchased kicks. All in all, this is easily one of the coolest sneaker spots we’ve visited. If you wanna get your shoe game proper, Air Traffic Control can guide you in the right direction.

News flash: pro athletes have it pretty sweet. If regular working stiffs get arrested, act like lazy assholes, or use hate speech, we lose our jobs and aren’t likely to find another one soon. But in the world of sports, it turns out that doing a little yay, a little time in the pen, or cussing out your boss will not only get you another job, but a better one!
This week came the news that running back Larry Johnson had signed with the 7-2, AFC Central-leading Cincinnati Bengals after being released by the 2-7, AFC West cellar-dwelling Kansas City Chiefs, who, despite their woeful performance this year, cashiered the former Pro Bowler for (among other things) Chris Brownin’ broads in the club, dissing Chiefs head coach Todd Haley on Twitter, and using gay slurs to address the media. It turns out though that LJ isn’t the first to make a similar worst to first upgrade based on his own fuckery, as you’ll see with our History of Upward Failing Athletes…
