We started today looking at a massive dead rat , so let’s end it looking at a beautiful sunset. Did you catch tonight’s? Johannes Brahms started playing from the skies when it appeared! It was that epic. Send us your photos or tag them “Gothamist” on Flickr, and we’ll post them right here so we can relive that moment in time forever and ever. [ more › ]

Anyone Catch That Amazing Sunset Tonight?
As we learned in 2010 , James Franco brought his own crew on the set of General Hospital to film footage of his own. This was part of a performance art show at Deitch Projects already, and now it’s a whole film. Francophrenia (though we liked the original title better: Don’t Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is ) will premiere this year at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, and consists of clips from his appearances on the show.

James Franco Turns His General Hospital Experience Into A Movie
Having lost his appetite for politics and become embroiled in a “Words With Friends” scandal for the ages, it seems Alec Baldwin has started making an inventory of his decisions over the last year. And prime among those decisions was his repeated insistence that he wasn’t interested in returning to 30 Rock for another season. Despite declaring the upcoming season his last, it’s now been reported that Baldwin “quietly re-upped” with NBC recently for another year of the show—that is if the show returns for another season.

Elin Nordegren, whose life was turned to shambles by a philanderin’ Tiger Woods, has turned her $12M Palm Beach, Fla., mansion into shambles by demolishing it to smithereens. Nordegren bought the 9,000-square-foot spread in March—could a future rebuilding effort parallel her emotional rebuilding, perhaps? [TMZ via Gawker ]

Photos: Heather LEGOGirl/Flickr All hail Seattle-based Flickr user Heather LEGOGirl, who has taken a dual fascination with Legos and dollhouses to unprecedented heights. The photos above represent her “Lee Jones Memorial Dollhouse,” the second and largest dollhouse she’s completed, and the details are insane: refrigerator drawer pulls, bedspreads, roll-top desks, a dryer (complete with a vent hose!), a four-poster bed, and lots more. (Is “Blocky Americana Classic” a style of interior design? It should be.) From the looks of things, the photos were uploaded between May and September 2010. Take a look above and then head over to Flickr for the full set. · The Lee Jones Memorial Dollhouse [Flickr via MinilandBricks ]

An army of Christians have been sounding off about the End of Days lately (according to them, it’s this Saturday May 21st… however, according to Buffy The Vampire Slayer , there’s an apocalypse at least once a television season). Anyway, you’ve seen the subway posters and billboards… but have you made plans yet? Because Judgment Day is nearly upon us, and you don’t want to be stuck at home eating leftovers. Here are our top five picks on where to watch in New York, and don’t forget to send us your photos of true Christians floating to heaven (or tag them “Gothamist” on Flickr!). [ more › ]

No Plans For Judgment Day? Five Places To Watch The World End In NYC
With both Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee having backed out of the 2012 presidential race in the last week, we’ve started to get worried about the snore-inducing field of Republican candidates left, such as Tim Pawlenty and Mitt Romney. Who will entertain us with pull-quote gaffes? Where will SNL find material to fill up a whole season? And for the love of God, who will play bass at the RNC? Thankfully, one Tea Party darling wants to make sure we can all still find something to laugh about next election season: Michele Bachmann. [ more › ]

Last week’s warm weather is but a hazy memory with tonight’s thunderhail! Or maybe it was thundersleet! Some sort of frozen precipitation pelted us in the early evening, and then the thunder came rolling in… prompting Tweets of the thunderhail and thundersleet varieties. The thunderhail-sleet-snow action is supposed to end by tomorrow morning . If you have photos, you can share them with us by tagging them “gothamist” on Flickr or email them to us at photos@gothamist.com . [ more › ]

Last night the moon’s elliptical orbit lined up such that it appeared larger to us than it has in about 18 years—a situation known as the ” supermoon .” And aside from being a pretty cool astronomical phenomenon, it makes an excellent subject for artistic photography! If you have photos of the supermoon, send them our way at photos[at]gothamist[dot]com, or tag them “gothamist” on Flickr. [ more › ]
