The pits of L

Can't say we're big Danielle Lloyd fans at Scoopt, but we're happy to promote her appearance at a London nightclub last week where she subtly touted for work in the next Lynx commercial...

£900 for a phone? Genius! This was the scene at the UK launch on Friday...

Subliminal messaging?

Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton hasn't been having the best of times on the Grand Prix circuit these past few weeks, but this track marshall - giving Hamilton a lift back to base after a breakdown during practice -  seems to have sussed the problem.

iPhone scoopt

No, don't worry, you won't find any pros/cons analysis of Apple's latest gadget here. Truth is we couldn't care less.

Still, when Steve Jobs is in town - any town - that makes for a photo opportunity. But at this morning's London launch of the iSnore, professional photographers were banned. Clever move on Apple's part, as it ensures that Mac fanboys the blogging community live-blog and photograph the event instead, giving it an air of... well, of excitement and mystique which it so richly doesn't deserve.

Anyhow, we were just chuffed to get some shots of Jobs on stage taken by Scoopt member Andrew Tobin, which we've been pushing out to the press all day. Witty caption suggestions very welcome.

The Curse of Scoopt?

Rather spookily, just after posting the pictures of Lana Clarkson below, we received some shots of Norwegian pop star Thomas Hansen, aka Saint Thomas.

OK, we had't heard of him, but the point is that these photos were taken just two weeks before his untimely death at the age of 31 (presumed suicide). As with Lana, these are probably the last photos of him alive.

We wouldn't like to see a 'shoot to kill' pattern developing here, folks, so take it easy out there...

Last pictures of Lana Clarkson

As the trial jury spends a fourth day deliberating the fate of the weirdly be-wigged Phil Spector, accused of murdering actress Lana Clarkson, now might be a fitting moment to remember the victim.

These two photos show Lana working at  a comic book convention on February 2, 2003, in Pasadena, California. The following day, she was found dead at Spector's home. Are these the last pictures of her alive?

Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas munches her way through 39 hotdogs to lose Nathan's Annual Hot Dog Eating Contest.

The winner managed 66 dogs before presumably exploding Mr Creosote style. For those of you unfamilair with Mr Creosote...

This is just bonkers
