...Capitan, the majestic 3,000-ft. cliff face that is America's most famous climbing spot. On a busy day in the high season, there can be as many as 50 climbers on the face of El Cap, and each one is dragging up a considerable amount of equipment, trash and human waste. "On big walls, people get very intense after a few days up there--they feel more at risk, and ethics tend to go out the window," says Lincoln Else, Yosemite's sole climbing ranger. He regularly finds gear and trash left behind on the top or cast...
...share a sensibility that combines seemingly disparate elements of the culture. It's a Marc Jacobs jacket with a $3 vintage dress. It's Christian Louboutin's Trash line--one-of-a-kind shoes with found objects like boarding passes, foreign currency and feathers tucked into a clear outer lining. It's a music collection that includes everything from a vinyl EP of the disco-punk band the Rapture to Whitney Houston singing The Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl.

It's the kind of empty-calorie video flypaper at which VH1 excels. Channel-flip across it and, try as you might to resist, say goodbye to the next two hours of your life. Filled out with reminiscences from every B-list celeb who ever came within 50 yds. of a VH1 camera (Ed's Michael...
...surprising that London's hottest musical is a send-up of America's looniest talk show. Of course, its creators clearly love their trash TV, even as they skewer it. The opera skillfully parodies the TV show's demented-circus atmosphere, and star Michael Brandon does a bang-on impression of Springer's smarmy solicitousness ("Chuckie, I sense you're not too happy about Shawntelle's pole-dancing dreams"). Even the backstage scenes ring true, with Springer trotting out knee-jerk defenses to his critics: "I don't do conflict resolution." At times the musical even makes you care...
