The $65 Million Art Heist That Put ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ to Shame

After photos of Del Rey and her new boyfriend Jack Donoghue surfaced online, many complained that he looked too pedestrian, Midwestern or like a January 6th insurrectionist. But really, who did you expect?
Lana Del Rey is never not on-brand. Any accusation otherwise only reveals the extent to which she’s successfully curated an illusive persona begging for misinterpretation. All of her perceived “misses” in the public eye over the last few years — dressing like she only shops at TJMaxx , the old-timey souvenir-style album cover for Chemtrails Over the Country Club , even dating a cop — have all perfectly aligned with the core reality of who she is : the romantic, poetic equivalent of the girl you went to high school with who never left your hometown. Her latest boyfriend, Jack Donoghue, only extends this narrative further.

Earlier this week, Donoghue, half of witch-house duo Salem , posted two photos of himself and Lana on Instagram outside of Cook County Jail in Illinois with the caption “family visit,” cementing earlier rumors that the two were dating. When the photos hit Twitter, Lana fans were immediately split. Many of those familiar with Donoghue felt they were an ideal match, while others accused him of looking like a January 6th participant.
In reality, with his Illinois T-shirt and carpenter jeans, he looks like any salt-of-the-earth Midwestern white man in his early 30s. While the idea of beautiful women dating “just some guy” has become an obnoxious trope, this is ultimately what Donoghue looks like: just some guy , albeit a hot and large one. You can imagine him in a plethora of American settings: attending the methadone clinic, constructing a deck, walking along the side of a sprawling suburban strip mall, buying a pack of Camels, waiting in line at Dunkin’ or, obviously, visiting a family member in county jail. He only looks like someone who might have been involved in the insurrection to the extent that those who actually participated look like much of the rest of the country.

No offense but every guy that Lana del rey dates looks like the adult man that got me hooked on Xanax when i was 14 that now has 2 kids named aunaleigha and waverlyn. And furthermore I feel this is on purpose

And yet, there’s seemingly an expectation from fans that someone with her celebrity status ought to date some sort of wealthy European aristocrat, one who can clothe her in linen and sail her along the coast of southern France. But doesn’t that actually feel kind of… boring? Sure, it sounds gorgeous, but drinking a pile of Bud Lights and shooting guns, as Donoghue’s Instagram suggests he does, has a little more thrill to it. And frankly, it’s far closer to the all-American everygirl reality that Lana portrays, whether it’s genuine or not.
Together, Lana and Jack look precisely like a couple of young parents you might see at any Walmart in the contiguous U.S. Being famous and presumably wealthy means that this is unlikely to be their reality, and surely, some poverty cosplaying is involved here. Regardless, Donoghue aesthetically embodies a sense of contemporary Americana, one that has lost the stars in its eyes and replaced them with a chaotic grit and messiness. Isn’t that exactly the type of man who Lana has always sung about?

It has been 25 years since Monday Night Raw debuted on the USA network. Now, as WWE prepares to celebrate the milestone, some of the company's wrestlers are getting in on the fun.
WWE has released a new photo gallery featuring several of the biggest modern superstars as they recreate some of the biggest moments from Raw during the Attitude Era. Whether it's New Day reenacting the reveal of Vince McMahon as the Corporate Ministry's "higher power" or Rusev and Lana cosplaying as the Rock N Sock Connection, the attention to detail on the photos is pretty amazing. You can see both of those photos below.
While WWE has announced a massive lineup for the upcoming Raw 25th anniversary episode--including Shawn Michaels, Trish Stratus, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Mark Henry, Eric Bischoff, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and so many more--it's unfortunate they can't just have the current superstars fill in. After all, would you rather have Chris Jericho or Lana as Chris Jericho? The Princess of Staten Island surely has the look in the gallery.
You can check out all of the photos--which reimagine Natalya and Charlotte as Edge and Christian, and Breezango as D-Generation X--at WWE's website . WWE Raw 25 airs Monday, January 22, at 8 PM ET on USA.

We're not talking massive wardrobe malfunction or disastrous mix-ups, but a mere waste of aesthetic potential.
Everyone can appreciate the time and effort cosplayers put into their outfits. Not only are they dressing up as the characters, but they're embodying their personas to a tee, replicating their idiosyncrasies, bringing along sidekicks, and wielding weapons made famous in the movies or comics.
From the Super Smash Bros. roster, over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC Comics, The Hunger Games, and everything in between, there is no shortage of opportunity when it comes to cosplay. With that in mind, some cosplay girls still make the wrong choice. We're not talking massive wardrobe malfunction or disastrous mix-ups, but a mere waste of aesthetic potential.
These cosplay girls should have shot for the stars, yet instead, they barely left Earth.
We can't help by gawk at this particular Samus Aran cosplayer. Her choice to dress up at Nintendo's Metroid main character (and one of the beloved Super Smash Bros. characters) was a good one, as the tight-fitting bodysuit clearly highlights her features. However, she could have taken it up another level if she went a little more au naturale .
Whether her long, blonde locks are natural or dyed for the purposes of this outfit, we feel like this cosplayer could have chosen an outfit that would flaunt her features a little better. Some black leather, Katniss Everdeen-style would contrast her blonde hair beautifully, while something a little more flattering to the curves wouldn't go awry either.
After first appearing in the Marvel UK series, Captain Britain, Psylocke has become most known for her appearances in the world of X-Men. This cosplayer has plenty of potential, and seems to have done at least a fair job in replicating the character, but she could have delivered so much more in a Wonder Woman outfit, for instance.
With a rocking steampunk feathered hat, a frilly shirt and a mix of fur and metal sleeves, this cosplayer has done a commendable job on her outfit, to say the least. Despite the impressive costume, it doesn't really do her any favours in terms of turning a few heads. She could have pulled off a killer Black Widow.
This cosplayer could have taken any comic book, video game, or MCU character, and turned it into something drool-worthy. Instead, to the detriment of all wandering eyes in her vicinity, she made the conscious decision to suit up in a head-to-toe, obstructive Samus suit. To twist the words of Uncle Ben - with great assets comes great opportunity.
It takes more than just sliding into a costume to turn a wannabe cosplayer into a good one. Apart from donning the outfit, you need to embrace the character with authenticity and intent. This girl has had no issue with the costume, but she's clearly lacking enthusiasm when it comes to playing the part.
Princess Peach might indeed be a princess, but that doesn't mean that she needs to repel any wandering eyes by wearing elbow-length gloves and a dress down to her ankles. While this cosplayer has certainly done a job worthy of applause as far as accuracy goes, she's hiding plenty of talent with her choice of outfit.
While Daisy's gloves are at least only wrist-length, we're of the view that gloves and puffy below-knee dresses should be avoided entirely, that is, if the cosplayer is wanting to turn heads. The crown might be a nice touch, but overall the outfit seems rather childish - she could have been the center of attention if she wanted to.
This woman has slid in excellently into her Captain Marvel persona and even has a little bit of a resemblance to the MCU actress, Brie Larson, with her wavy blonde hair. While there's nothing wrong with her choice, per se, she has the piercing stare that could have turned a few other characters into serious eye-candy.
We love Zelda (the titular character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda, of course), and this cosplayer has done a pretty darn good job at replicating her. While the long, blonde hair is clearly the main selling point for this cosplayer, the darting, pointed elf-like ears detract from the overall aesthetic. Not bad, but not the best.
Forgetting about the little black feline sidekick here for a second, this cosplayer's attempt at Hellgirl is actually rather impressive. Then again, how hard is it to slap on some red paint and a giant glove? Her eyes are piercing, but there is surely some more talent on display that another choice of costume would have better highlighted.
Queen Mera was played by Amber Heart in the recent DC film, Aquaman, so any cosplayer is going to have a might difficult time living up to the aesthetic presented by Heard. That being said, this cosplayer's attempt isn't all too terrible. However, it could have been elite if she'd forgone the headgear and kept the focus on the bodysuit.
Everyone loves when a cosplayer clearly puts in a significant amount of effort for an outfit and aces it - that we can agree on. Unfortunately, this Pikachu outfit, while it does present a little bit of eye-candy to the average onlooker, it seems extremely last-minute and budget-friendly. She would have aced it with some more time and dedication.
Just another friendly neighborhood spider-man at your service. Well, in this case, it's Spider-Woman, and a fully-covered one at that. Just like Samus Aran and Katniss Everdeen before her, this cosplayer could have turned plenty of more heads if she'd gone for something a little sheerer. She hasn't done a poor job by any means, but she's made the wrong choice.
There are just too many similarities between Gamora and the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz for Gamora to completely fall into the eye-candy category. While this cosplayer might not sport the big-nose or the boomstick, she could have been so much more than what she is.
We're all big fans of Katniss Everdeen and The Hunger Games, there's no doubt about that. While we admit that this cosplayer has done a formidable job in replicating the District 12 hustler, it seems a shame that she's wasted her potential on a full-body suit. She could have turned heads, but instead, she just blends in.
While we absolutely adore Iron Man as a Marvel character for his wit and intellect (or Iron Woman, in this case), the outfit certainly isn't the most flattering for any female cosplayers out there. This girl could have presented as a knock-out Pepper Potts, especially with her dramatic red hair.
There are two ways to replicate Harley Quinn: there's the jaw-dropping, psychotic Margot Robbie version that is guaranteed to drop jaws and turn heads, and then there's the slide-into-the-background full-body-suit type version like the one pictured above. There was a 50/50 chance to ace this costume, but unfortunately, she's made the wrong choice.
This cosplayer was spotted over at Gen Con at the Indiana Convention Center back in 2018. The handmade costume isn't the best we've seen, but we can appreciate the effort. If she wanted to turn a few more heads, she could have opted for something a little less, well, menacing.
