When Jim Carrey isn't belting out Radiohead tunes on the Lower East Side, or rollerblading on the streets, he's channeling his inner-starving artist at the Church Of FFC (which he says is "the name I've given my art studio" in New York). We contacted some galleries and museums to give their thoughts about Carrey's works (his latest is a 16-foot by 12-foot painting titled "Visible")—but everyone was pretty mum. The Guggenheim, for example, told us "no comment," and the New Museum said "all our curators are traveling right now" (or washing their hair?). Lucien, the director of the Invisible Dog, however, wanted to see more. He told us (and please, pardon his French):

Jim Carrey Joins The Ranks Of NYC Artists
Video: Jim Carrey Sings Radiohead At Arlene's Grocery
This is arguably the best thing to ever happen inside the Lower East Side venue Arlene's Grocery: Jim Carrey, along with "his band," performed a set on Friday night. It included Radiohead's "Creep" (which he introduces as his new theme song) and Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet With Butterfly Wings." He didn't seem to publicize the concert, though earlier that day he Tweeted: "Tonight at midnight, NY time, on www.jimcarreytrulife.com 'Something happy for a hard day' Let's all find a #UnitedStateOfGrace?" You can check out some amazing photos (and everyone's favorite font Comic Sans) from Friday night's show right here, and video below:
Jim Carrey Spots Angel In Manhattan On Judgment Day!
This morning Jim Carrey, who has been in town lately—though it's unclear what for—took a photo from his window in Manhattan and Tweeted: "If by apocalypse they meant sunny and warm with a high of 73 degrees, then they were right, THIS IS THE END!!!" But at the top right of the photo you might notice something that looks like... an angel? A saved person being floated to Heaven early? Even Carrey Tweeted that "someone pointed out an angel on a rooftop." We've highlighted it in the image above—and when you spot a True Christian being lifted up in a beam of sunshine towards the clouds, don't forget to send us your photos!
Videos: SNL Mocks Mayor Bloomberg's Snow Response
Now that David Paterson has left office, Saturday Night Live performer Fred Armisen is tackling a different New York politician: Mayor Michael "Yeah, there's a blizzard, but go to Broadway and see a show" Bloomberg. While Armisen didn't quite nail Hizzoner's disdain for the little people, there were a few amusing parts during this Bloomberg blizzard cold opening, like how he hoped New York City would be plowed. And then maybe they'd get to Queens. Click through to see the video, as well as other videos from last night's show featuring host Jim Carrey.
Spotted: Penguins, Jim Carrey in Park Slope
While it's not as exciting as seeing Mel Gibson run around town with a beaver puppet on his hand (what is?), Jim Carrey has been spotted in at least 3 boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Staten Island)... sometimes with penguins! The actor is in town shooting scenes for the movie Mr. Popper's Penguins, which tells the story of a businessman begins to change after he inherits six penguins and transforms his apartment into a winter wonderland. According to this blog they're in Park Slope today, where they've brought in some spotless white snow with them. Other Hollywood-in-New York magic happening during filming: Tavern on the Green is still up and running!
The Cinecultist's Weekly Movie Picks: Kooky Families edition
Billy Bob Thorton sets aside his raunchy also comes to big screens this weekend.
Pencil This In
THEATER: Adventures in Mating uses the “Choose Your Own Adventure” novel device to stage this comedy about “a girl, a boy, and their stunning inability to make even the most basic of decisions. Miranda and Jeffrey are on a blind date... a magical date? A disasterous one? Only you, the oh-so-fickle public, can decide.” The show opens tonight in New York after a successful debut at the 2005 Minneapolis Fringe Festival. - John Del Signore
Suckers For A TomKat Wedding
It's so embarrassing, but when we saw how adorable little Suri Cruise was as she was toted by her parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in Rome, we were goners. (She does not look particularly Asian, either.) We suddenly believe in media circus weddings abroad with a motley group of celebrities (Leah Remini and Jenna Elfman we get - they're Scientologists - but J. Lo and Jim Carrey?) and unions bound by carefully vetted contracts. Tom Cruise's children with Nicole Kidman are so damn cute, too. We can't help it if we feel like Kelly in The Office. (Speaking of, the Lazy Scranton video is on the NBC website.)
Jim Carrey Renting $45,000/Month Apartment
New York Magazine reports that Jim Carrey is renting an apartment near Lincoln Center for the smokin' figure of $45,000 a month. The apartment is for sale - if you have $11,800,000 to spare - and has a 2,000 square foot living room! We saw Carrey on a Barbara Walters special, and he was talking about being all Zen and we think took her to his meditation retreat for the weepy part of the interview; this apartment has tons of terraces, so he can commune with Buddha there.
Liveblogging the Maybe Transit Strike, Take 2
2:04 AM - The media is being told they have to wait a while before the TWU will talk. So with that, Gothamist is going to bed to get ready in case there is a strike - we're going attempt to check out the Brooklyn Bridge in the morning, which is supposed to be really cold tomorrow morning. Dress warm and dream of the strike being resolved by the time you wake up. Thanks for waiting with us - we'll be all over this in a few hours as well!
Brad And Jen Are Over
This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.It's a moment for everyone to have Schadenfreude, even though some New Yorkers were shocked - "Oh, my God! I really thought it was going to last," said one to the Daily News. Anyway, translation of the press statement: Gothamist salutes the couple for confusing the tabloids, even bringing Star to put them on their cover, saying they were back together and ready to make a baby. Anyway, cynically speaking, their film careers have been a mixed bag since their marriage. Sure, Aniston had The Good Girl, but it was more to establish her acting chops; she's been relegated to playing Jim Carrey's and Ben Stiller's significant others, which is never a good things...and a faux-sequel of The Graduate with Rob Reiner directing? Egads. Pitt has remained looking hot, which is all Gothamist asks.
Go Go Gadget Weblog
Overpaid comedic actors with serious depression issues aside, the real question is whether the competition will cause a pricing war, causing the fake profits to disappear (where will the Monopoly money go?). Gothamist believes that both companies will grind each other into the dust and end up getting acquired by a Japanese USB noodle cooler manufacturer, a subsidiary of Bratz, or an internet casino.
It's Okay Not Being Renee
Since life lately has seemed to be all about keeping up with the Joneses, Gothamist was amused at Molly Norton's experiences as fledgling actress, competing with Renee Zellweger, in Salon. Mainly because the moral is you can wonder and envy all you like, but when it comes down to it:

I've never had to see Jim Carrey naked. I've never had to kiss Tom Cruise and pretend to enjoy it. No one monitors my weight, and there was no painful breakup with White Stripes guitarist Jack White.We'd amend "breakup" to "relationship," but the rest is right on.
Six Million Dollar Man Movie
Variety reports that Jim Carrey is in talks to star in a comic version the Six Million Dollar Man. "The long-in-development action film became a fast-tracked comedy after Carrey and his managers Jim Miller and Eric Gold had the idea to marry an exaggerated sendup of an action film to the six million dollar man title." Well, sure, exaggerated works for Carrey, but call us purists, but there's something so cool about Lee Majors's seriousness as Steve Austin. With Carrey, it'd be Six Million Dollar Bruce Amighty, which Gothamist can do without.
Bewitched, the Movie, Casting
In a truly inspired turn, producers are looking at Will Ferrell to play Darrin to Nicole Kidman's Samantha in the film version of beloved television show, Bewitched. At first, Jim Carrey was mentioned to play the hapless, mere mortal husband, but how many times do we really need to him play a bumbling everyman? Will Ferrell, on the other hand, we could watch 24-7 and not get tired. It's 'cause we got a fever and the only prescription is a cowbell.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
So far, the work of Charlie Kaufman has only been adapted by two directors: Spike Jonze, with Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, and Michel Gondry, whose Human Nature was tepidly received but has directed the eagerly awaited 2004 release, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Eternal Sunshine stars Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Tom Wilkinson, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, and Mark Ruffalo, with Carrey as a man trying to erase memories of ex-girlfriend Winslet from his mind. And by the looks of the trailer, it looks like vintage Kaufman AND Gondry, with tiny human bodies in normal size enviroments.
Clay Conan Crushes Competish
Conan O'Brien's May 16 show in clay was the highest Late Night in over a year! How does Conan feel about that, glad that months of hard work paid off or upset that Clay Conan drives more guests that Human Conan.
