by Pierre Baltadano

Bloomberg News is reporting that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced plans to bring waterfalls to the East River off of Lower Manhattan, beginning around mid-Julyand ending around mid-October. The waterfalls will be created by famed artist Olafur Eliasson, who's well known for his exhibit, The Weather Project, which was a large-scale installation of a sun-like object that was installed in 2003 at the Tate Modern in London, and the newly constructed Serpentine Gallery Pavillion (2007).

The New York City Waterfalls will consist of four illuminated waterfalls, ranging from 90-120 ft, that will be placed at different locations, one by the Brooklyn Bridge, another by Governor's Island, and the other two locations have not been announced. They will also be environmentally conscious of the native wildlife and pumped using the power of the water current.

DIESEL PLAYS ROBIN HOOD AT SUNDANCE...TAKES FROM THE RICH AND GIVES TO THE NEEDY...

by Pierre Baltadano


Recently, Markus is the Drug was informed that Diesel won't be having a traditional gifting suite at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Instead Diesel will be giving the celebs a chance to put together outfits for some of the children from the In a Perfect World Foundation, a foundation started by Prince's ex-wife Manuela Testolini. At Sundance, the children will have artwork displayed and celebs will then be able to customize outfits that will be sent back to the kids. Now that is a gifting suite that REALLY gives.

The In a Perfect World Foundation is a program that partners with schools and community-based organizations to provide financial and expert assistance in hopes of helping children throughout the country to "become compassionate, socially-conscious, and responsible leaders."
