Event Report: Rick Ross Helps VICE Launch Its New Website In Style
Notoriously *kewl* and edgy global lifestyle brand VICE launched its newly integrated website Vice.com last night with a party that may have cost almost as much as that domain name.

Gallery: VICE Recreates Its ‘Dos and Don’ts’ with Kids
For better or worse, VICE’s “Dos and Don’ts” are essentially a cultural institution at this point.

On Wednesday night, I pulled out my most coolly contemptuous look (winter box, next to a Santa Sweater) and headed to the premiere.
Before the screening, there was a cocktail hour (lest we be expected to site through an hour of television sober!) where we were served mixed drinks of Coke and Sailor Jerry brand spiced rum — which, all Ed Hardy associations aside, was actually rather delicious. Spike Jonze (who appeared in the pilot episode) was there along with Nick Zinner from The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and lots of good-looking kids. More »
