NY Magazine recently commissioned a bunch of designers to reimagine the mistress of all the surveys, Lady Gaga, just in time for her new album's release. While it's hard to out-weird someone who wears a meat dress and goes to a Mets game in her underwear, several cartoonists gave it a shot, including Ariel Shrag, David Reese, Tim Hensley and Mike Keefe.

MAC's Wonder Woman cosmetics have blurred the line between chic and geek and created excitement among lady nerds everywhere. But it's just not rouge and pomade: You can buy Mike Allred-drawn Wonder Woman merchandise online. We don't need another tote bag -- lordy, we don't -- and yet somehow we need that one.

Last night's Golden Globes held no wins for any comics-themed material, but lots of stars of comic book movies were out, providing a stunning parade of nerdlebrity pulchritude.
