Secret photos of famous people
Posted by katiesol in Beautiful things, From around the web, film on February 4th, 2010
There are 125 rare, unlikely and occasionally brilliant photos of the crazy-famous here. Here are five that make me feel like it’s ok just to be a normal person.

Marilyn Monroe and JFK share a moment - I feel so sad for Marilyn Monroe every time I think about their doomed affair. Just goes to show that you can have everything and nothing all at once.

George Clooney - Let’s file this one under ‘there’s hope for us all’.

Johnny Depp and his niece at the beach - Johnny Depp has the most amazing hands I’ve ever seen. Also, gutted to be his niece and it not be acceptable to fancy him.

Francis Ford Coppola showing Akira Kurosawa his new Polaroid - what’s not to love about this photo? They’re these two wildly successful filmmakers but here they just look like your embarrassing dad showing his new camera off to his weird old Japanese friend.

The Star Wars cast - they don’t look anything like you expect them to. Apart from the swoon-worthy Harrison Ford, of course. Carrie Fisher looks ridiculously short! She’s 5′1″ apparently. Carrie: I feel your pain. But half an inch more of it. Damn you.
Pure unadulterated grade-A awesomeness

Unborn children of mine take note: this is what your future holds.
I’d rather have the Lego version, to be honest.
Waterfall sink - like an infinity pool in your kitchen. Yes please.
As good a motto as any.
Finally, a use for all those old boring books I buy from library sales because they look nice but actually they’re rubbish. Happy day.
I just adore this AT-AT Walker inspired lamp, even though it’s completely ridiculous that the light lives in a drawer.
Great finds from around the internet

Just a few of the brilliant things I’ve come across lately. Needless to say, I want them all.
Origami tea bags - Beautiful origami green berry tea bags by Natalia Ponomareva. Just a concept for now.

BookBook - A MacBook cover that looks like an old book from TwelveSouth. Lush, but it’ll set you back $80.

Amazing chairs - it’s not always easy to get excited about chairs, but these are exceptionally beautiful with their Rob Ryan style cutout fairytale design. By Kranen/Grille, via DesignBoom.

I’m Here - a short film by Spike Jonze that debuted at Sundance this week. It’s a robot romance, somewhere between Wall-E, Where The Wild Things Are and 500 Days of Summer with a typically dreamy aesthetic and inspiring soundtrack.

Bits and pieces of inspiration and loveliness relating (sometimes loosely) to the upcoming film version of Where The Wild Things Are. Bookmark it.

I think pretty much everyone on the internet has seen this now, but I’m posting it anyway:

The King of Pop lives on: BillieTweets

Sad though we all are about his demise, it’s ok Michael Jackson fans: he didn’t die in vain. Out of darkness cometh light and so I give you BillieTweets. Go. Enjoy.

Brought to my attention by almost every single person I follow on Twitter
Embarrassingly girlish post

I’m afraid there’s only one vaguely irritating internet-word to employ whilst perusing the following pictures: ‘Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!’



All from the incomparable Tada’s Revolution - highly recommended for the improvement of a bad day, squeals of delight guaranteed.
I always felt bad for Mother Teresa
