The New York Times Magazine released 11 artsy micro-short films today, each featuring a famous celebrity being beautiful.

Well now! This month's edition of the New York Times Magazine features an online gallery called "Touch of Evil," a series of shorts that depict some of Hollywood's finest in villainous roles.

"I think I was put on this earth to instill self-esteem in young girls," Tyra Banks tells Lynn Hirschberg, who wrote this Sunday's New York Times Magazine cover story on the model turned mogul.

The New York Times Magazine is on a roll with its Jezebellian cover subjects. This Sunday, the cover story is about Tyra Banks, and naturally we were absolutely stoked, but our hearts practically fell out of our butts when the press release informed us that among things, the profile will cover Tyra's "275 smiles from…
There's a public school in Alabama where little girls and boys are separated. The girls' classroom walls are yellow, the boys' blue. The girls' room temperature is kept at 75, the boys' at 69.

Fetuses may be able to feel pain as early as eighteen weeks, claims a story in Sunday's New York Times Magazine. (Also in the weekend's Times: a review of a book that makes the scientific argument that life begins at conception. Fun!)
