Combining elements of the Nutcracker and the Magic Flute into something this bland and forgettable takes some doing, in addition to an inert female lead
Rolling back the years, The Nutcracker and the Magic Flute returns us to the era before the advent of feisty young heroines in kids’ animations – back when the destiny of a female character, as often as not, was to wait around for a prince to show up, duff up the bad guys and make her his princess. That thankless role goes here to pretty, bland ballet dancer Marie (voiced by Alyson Leigh Rosenfeld), a young woman who, in the face of danger, shrieks and hides her face in her hands.
The film opens on Christmas Eve. Marie’s father has died leaving the family in debt. Odious pawnbroker Mr Ratter (Pete Zarustica) makes Marie a repulsive offer: marry him and he’ll let her family keep their house.

Fertility."It features Kim with an exaggerated (or maybe not) body, wearing the tiara and earrings similar to the ones she wore to her wedding to ex-husband Kris Humphries. Look closely and you can see Kim's signature lip pout, too.Visitors at the Lab Art Gallery were encouraged to rub the statue's belly (ala Buddha) for luck.Edwards' works have created controversy before. He's sculpted a nude Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, a dead Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears giving birth (click on the "Launch Gallery" link above to see even more of his art).We're not sure what message he's sending with "L.A.

The sculpture, which can be seen above, shows Kardashian in all her pregnant glory. Edwards tells Los Angeles Magazine that he created the figure as a response to criticism over Kardashian's pregnancy weight gain.
"People tend to look at the parts, like the creases in her armpits, or how she wore a dress that makes her look like a killer whale," he says. "I'm stripping it of the details people get stuck on, so they can see the beauty."

If you thought tabloids were invasive wait until you see the new work from pop culture savvy sculptor-provocateur Daniel Edwards. The sculptor has previously portrayed Britney Spears giving birth, Suri Cruise mid-bowel movement and Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber nude and attached at the hip. Now Edwards is turning his attention to the two most anticipated babies in town, baby Kimye and the royal heir.
Baby Kimye And The Royal Heir by Daniel Edwards, Courtesy of Cory Allen Contemporary Art
His new work, aptly dubbed "Baby Kimye and the Royal Heir," uses leaked 3D ultrasounds from Kim Kardashian and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton to predict the privileged bundles of joy. Edwards, who takes inspiration from baby photography hero Anne Geddes, portrays little Kimye with little Ks shaved into her head, while the Royal Heir gets a massive crown. We bet Blue Ivy is feeling really left out right now.

Five readers discuss the films they believe have best depicted older people
From 6 July 2012 you'll be able to watch the documentary Ping Pong online exclusively with guardian.co.uk/film. Ping Pong follows eight people with a combined age of 700 as they head to China to compete in the over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia.
Two of the film's stars, Terry Donlon, 83, and Les D'Arcy, 91, spoke to the Guardian earlier this week. The spirit and competitiveness conveyed by both men indicates how markedly different they are to the clichéd image of old age pensioners that cinema often puts across.
To mark the release of Ping Pong, earlier this week we asked readers to give their thoughts on the films that have done a decent job of representing older people. Below are five of our favourite responses. But what do you think? Which films in your opinion have best portrayed old age?...

So he can make something that's not borderline creepy. Sculptor Daniel Edwards is famous for creating works of art that make us wonder what planet he's on, but he set the craziness aside this time when he made a bust in tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. A press release states that the inspiration for this piece came from numerous Facebook fans from the U.K. who requested something be made in remembrance of the singer. So, in order to please the people, the New York artist put together Memorial Portrait for Amy Winehouse, which features Winehouse's nude bust, bare from piercings and tattoos, and with a songbird and lilies in her hair.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been immortalized as couple forever in the nude and in bronze. Yes, you read that right.
The artist is Daniel Edwards. The artist’s piece depicts both young actors/ musical artists without clothing and merged into one, three-legged being. The life-size bronze statue has the look of a Hollywood award statuette with the pair standing on a podium, which bears the inscription, “Justin & Selena Forever.” Bieber’s manhood is covered up by a maple leaf, while Gomez’s lower parts are hidden by a Texas star. An armadillo and a Canadian goose also adorn the bottom of the statue.
So, where does one display such an unusual sculpture? The Texas porn shop called New Fine Arts will display the piece. The assistant manager of the store, (which is open 24 hours and sells DVDs and novelties) Michelle Johnson, told The Hollywood Reporter that preparations are...

Daniel Edwards' headline-making nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez has found a new home. The life-size statue of the two teen stars will make its way to a Dallas-area porn shop in the very near future, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The shop, New Fine Arts, confirmed to the site that the statue will be on display there. Cory Allen, a rep for Edwards, also told The Reporter that the artist is planning a companion piece inspired by a 1968 cast made of Jimi Hendrix's private parts. The second statue will display Bieber's in the same way, using what he described as a "Warner Bros. cartoon" vibe.

If you were ever worried about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez fading away, a distant memory of 2011, fear no more: the teen stars have been immortalized in "Justin and Selena as One," a life-sized portrait from sculptor Daniel Edwards, the Dallas Observer reported on Tuesday.
"Justin and Selena as One," which the artist said will eventually be cast in bronze, depicts the teens almost completely nude, save for a Canadian maple leaf and Texas "lone star" concealing their respective nether regions. The portrait will be presented at New Fine Arts, an adult megastore in Dallas, at a later date.
Edwards explained the piece in a statement provided to HuffPost:
“Justin and Selena as One” features the ‘Adam and Eve’ couple conjoined at the torso, each seeming to emerge from the other’s rib. Together, they have three legs, sharing Selena’s right leg as she appears to lead the younger...

The phrase “Tmi” was invented for situations like these. Also, “My Eyes!” Because that was our reaction when we heard Us based artist Daniel Edwards had created a sculpture of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez nude together. Can we please repeat this? Justin Bieber. Selena Gomez. Together. Naked. They’re supposed to be a 21st Century Adam and Eve. And just to up the ick factor, he’s called the piece. “Justin and Selena as One.” Seriously? And check this out, their most naughty bits have been covered by a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star respectively.
It gets even more freaky. Right in front of the couple, he’s created a sculpture of a Canada goose — how should we say this politely — getting it on with a Texas armadillo. And in the best “explanation” we’ve heard, Edwards’ rep Cory Allen has said of the whole thing,...

The Internet was abuzz this week when controversial artist Daniel Edwards released his latest piece of art: a nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez with the words "Justin & Selena Forever" inscribed at the base of the statue.
The bronze statue, called "Justin and Selena as One," plays on the idea of Adam and Eve, with Bieber wearing a strategically placed maple leaf and Gomez wearing a strategically placed Texas Lone Star — references to Justin's native Canada and Selena's home state. But Edwards told MTV News the images aren't meant to be provocative for the sake of being provocative.

Teen couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone naked in the name of art. Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards has created a bronze metallic statue of the twosome almost entirely nude with only a Canadian Maple Leaf and a Texas Lone Star covering their intimate parts.
Titled "Justin and Selena as One", the life size portrait presents the "Baby" hitmaker and his songstress girlfriend as a 21st Century Adam and Eve. To be unveiled at Dallas' New Fine Arts, it features them conjoined at the torso with Selena appearing to lead Justin toward "Eden". In front of them are a Canada goose and Texas armadillo.
Of the statue, Daniel said in the press release, "The portrait represents both Canadian exceptionalism and Texas-American exceptionalism, but I believe Justin and Selena would ultimately choose Canada for their Garden of Eden, because Canada's Medicare and Aaa credit rating make it easier for young...

And more importantly, is this legal? After all, Justin Bieber may have a swag overload, but he is still under 18. Despite this minor issue, infamous sculptor Daniel Edwards grabbed his tools and created a statue of Bieber and his gf Selena Gomez (nearly) completely nakies with only a Canadian Maple Leaf and Texas Lone Star covering their privates, and the words "Justin & Selena Forever" at the base of the bronze likeness. Apparently he's a fan. But we're not really that surprised by this intentionally shocking portrait of the pair. Edwards is known for his over-the-top artwork such as Britney Spears giving birth, Suri Cruise's poop, Octomom in pink, Paris...

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez nude?! Calm down everyone. It's for art. American sculptor Daniel Edwards just unveiled a nude portrait of pop star Justin Bieber and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

Bieber hails from Ontario, Canada from while Gomez calls Grand Prairie, Texas home. Edwards has titled "Justin and Selena as One." This isn't the first celebrity couple Edwards has sculpted.

Why is this happening and what can I do to make it stop?
I’ve witnessed a lot of vom-worthy nonsense in my day, but this nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is a new level of gross. Like, Human-Centipede-meets-Octomom gross. Infamous sculptor Daniel Edwards just announced his latest creation: a bronze statue depicting Justin and Selena completely nude, with but a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star covering the couple’s naughty bits. I can’t even believe I just typed that.
I should note that Daniel is the same sculptor who made headlines with his statues of Britney Spears giving birth, Hillary Clinton topless, and Suri Cruise‘s poop — to name just a few delightful treasures.
And while the aformentioned three statues are all the stuff of nightmares in their own right, I think it’s safe to say a new line has been...

An artist has designed a tombstone dedicated to Charlie Sheen. The Mirror reports that Daniel Edwards' latest work, A Tombstone for Charlie, depicts the former Two and a Half Men star flanked by one happy and one sad-faced Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. Beneath the bust of the actor is an inscription, which states, "Charlie Sheen 1965 - [blank]". Edwards commented: (more)...

An artist named Daniel Edwards has sculpted a tombstone for Charlie Sheen. Which makes sense, because lately Charlie Sheen looks like a runaway zombie. Edwards says he hopes the statue will serve as a wake-up call for the actor. The tombstone features Sheen’s head between two "Winnie the Pooh" Tigger heads. Which is appropriate, because I always knew Tigger was on something. That kind of energy isn't natural. “It is sad for me to see such a vibrant guy as Sheen, who has entertained millions, end up on everyone's celebrity dead pool list," said Edwards. "Hopefully...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a new home in Oklahoma they haven't spent a cent on.
The Hollywood couple's five-year romance has inspired a new spread in Edmond, which is 50 miles (80.4 kilometers) from Pitt's native Shawnee.
The Brangelina estate will open to the public on 16 December.
Buyers must sign an "honorary ownership provision" which allows the celebrity couple lifetime access to visit the home, according to Life & Style magazine.
The home is priced at $500,000 (£312,500) and features a life-size casting of Pitt and Jolie in the throes of passion in the master bedroom.
Cory Allen, who represents the home's artist Daniel Edwards, says, "It was installed to inspire the room's occupants with love. The statues are embedded with crushed glass that contains Brad and Angie's DNA, obtained from wineglasses they (reportedly) drank from while celebrating the anniversary of their first meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith."...

Looking for a guaranteed turn-on? Artist Daniel Edwards has a surefire aphrodisiac for you—assuming that you're the kind of person who also gets aroused by images of wounded puppies and curiously sticky movie-theater floors. Edwards has created a statue, "Brangelina Forever," which depicts Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie "in bed, making love Harlequin Romance-style, with a cooing dove perched on Brad's finger." The statue is currently installed in an Oklahoma City-area house called "The Brangelina," which was created by Los Angeles artist Xvala, and hangs from the ceiling of the building's master bedroom, in order to "inspire a 'sexual healing' for the...

You might remember Daniel Edwards from his oddball statue of Britney Spears birthing a baby on all fours. Well, the man with a penchant for all things weirdly celeb is back and this time he’s interested in Angelina Jolie breastfeeding two babies at the same time. At the same time! Only Angelina Jolie could do something so superhero-esque and nurturing…at the same time.
The statue has just been unveiled at the Mainsite Contemporary Art Gallery in New York City. The work, which is entitled Landmark for Breastfeeding, features Jolie au naturel while providing motherly milk to two newborns.
“People have a problem separating nudity and sexuality, and it’s just a human form, so I don’t see any problem with it,” said Cory Allen, project coordinator.
After the exhibit runs its course, the statue may wind up in a public park to be ogled by trench coat...

No, you don't see this everyday, although for a certain segment of the population, I'm sure there's a wish that it were more prevalent. It's a statue of Angelina Jolie breastfeeding.
So outside of fetishism, what's going on? Daniel Edwards, the artist who rose to fame for his similar piece featuring Briney Spears birthin' on a bearskin rug, says it's a "celebration of family and home" but believe what you want. Edwards calls his latest work Landmark for Breastfeeding, and it will be on display next month in Norman, Oklahoma - outside of Oklahoma City - before debuting in London. Hailing from the Sooner State, I'm not entirely sure how this will go over there.
Said Sandy Wilson of Phantom-Financial, the group behind Edwards' sculpture, “We believe the statue sends a beautiful message by promoting the acceptance of public breastfeeding. Mothers should be encouraged to nurture their babies anywhere." The...

Daniel Edwards has been known to raise controversy with his celebrity sculptures aimed for high shock value. He has a way of taking our favorite stars and making them disgusting, like in his infamous 2006 piece depicting Britney Spears on all fours giving birth. So should a new work showing Angelina Jolie breastfeeding two babies while completely nude surprise us? Landmark for Breastfeeding, as Edwards' latest masterpiece is named, will depict Brangelina's twins Vivienne and Knox being nursed by mom on a park bench, and despite all the hysteria that will no doubt ensue upon its release, Edwards claims the piece has...

Apparently, no one is safe from Daniel Edwards' "art." The same guy who immortalized Britney Spears in the midst of childbirth, Suri Cruise's (ahem) poop, Oprah Winfrey and her dogs, Paris Hilton's organs and the Octomom in pink has taken on a subject a bit less laughable: Angelina Jolie. The result, however, is no less creepy. The New York-based artist has created a sculpture of the megastar nursing her and Brad Pitt's twins, Vivienne and Knox. Indeed, the work—called Landmark for Breastfeeding—is completely naked and meant to rest on a park bench. While the "football hold" for breast-feeding is meant to show Brangelina's twins, Edwards has depicted...

A naked Angelina Jolie will be gracing the streets of Oklahoma City in September - a life-size statue of the Hollywood actress breastfeeding has been created by New York-based artist Daniel Edwards.
The bronze sculpture of mother-of-six Jolie, titled Landmark for Breastfeeding, was inspired by the star's W magazine cover last year, in which she was snapped by boyfriend Brad Pitt breastfeeding her newborn twins.
The statue depicts Jolie sitting nude as she suckles twins, one of whom is of African descent.
It is set to be unveiled in the Oklahoma City Metro area on 11 September as part of World Breastfeeding Week.
Sandy Wilson of Phantom-Financial, the organisation behind the Jolie artwork, says, "We believe the statue sends a beautiful message by promoting the acceptance of public breastfeeding. Mothers should be encouraged to nurture their babies anywhere."
The sculpture will go on show in London later this year.

It's the stuff nightmares are made of, not fit for any nursery... But this collectible rubber toy can be yours for the bargain price of your immortal soul. Daniel Edwards, the artist who brought us Suri's poop, Britney birthing, Paris' insides and Oprah's head-with-dogs, has brought his sculptor's sensibility to Octomom with his latest creation, String of Babies', holds a baby bottle upright. The bright pink "toy" features octopuslike tentacles sprouting from a replica of Nadya Suleman's head and cradling eight little identical baby heads and a baby bottle. No word on which of the eight doll-reminiscent heads are supposed to be Noah and Isaiah, the two Suleman...
