Five pop culture items we missedPermanent art: the watercolor tattoos of a Lower East Side artist.

1. Tattoos of the day: Amanda Wachob’s ink has been all over the Internet lately.  Which is awesome, because her tattoos really are works of art. And also I have one.

2. Poker game of the day: Tobey Maguire was busted for illegal underground gambling in a card ring that included Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio! Now they’ll have to go to celebrity jail!

3. Celebrity karaoke of the day: Jason Segel, Alison Brie, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski crashed a bachelor party in Ann Arbor, Mich. Insanity and singing ensues.  (Please let this mean Segel is dating “Community’s” Brie!)

4. Former “Deadwood” cast member of the day: Ian McShane, last seen in “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” will be playing a dwarf named Ceasar in Universal’s ” Snow White and Huntsman.” That’s the one with Kristen Stewart as Snowie, and Charlize Theron as the wicked stepmother, not the adventure comedy “Snow White” project with Julia Roberts and Lily Collins.

5. Gay slur of the day: Chris Brown. Wait, really? Didn’t we already have to take Cee Lo to task today for his anti-gay tweet this morning?
