Angel >> Ed "Big Daddy" Roth On April 4, a heart attack took lowbrow legend Ed Roth, aged 69, to the big scrapyard in the sky. He was worshipped by cartoon creeps and hot-rod hooligans alike. As a car enthusiast, he pinstriped some beauts and even customized his own, including the awesome "Beatnik Bandit," and as a cartoonist/T-shirt pimp, he gave the world a menagerie of gearshift-trashing mutants and monsters, focusing on his iconic Rat Fink. More than just a leader of '60s California kustom-kulture, Roth was a champion of arrested adolescence and gross-out as an artform.

Insect >> Paramount Pictures In the sum of all cheap stunts, the makers of the latest Ben Affleck feature being filmed in Montreal plan to take advantage of the Canuck buck, tax breaks and now, free star-struck extras. Sum of all Fears producers are offering Montrealers the glorious opportunity to spend a day on an authentic Hollywood set! For eight Hollywood hours, local extras get to heed a bitchy third AD's cattle calls and, get this, "It's absolutely free!" The magnanimous Americans will even treat locals to a free sandwich and a T-shirt for those who stick around to hear "That's a wrap."
