Always ahead of the curve, MeanRed brings you this annual event that celebrates a slice of your hometown life in New York. Since then PARKED! has grown in five to this years to 30 trucks making a home in beautiful outdoor venues such as BKLYN Yard, Governor's Island, and now... South Street Seaport!

On top of our 30+ food trucks we'll have a beer garden, a mainstage with incredible bands and DJs, face painting, Foodie diversions and a playground on site for kids, and you can even buy a PARKED! pass which gives you reduced price food at the trucks and one free drink!

That's not all, They've worked with our trucks to pick the best of the best from their menus, and all trucks will be offering items at a five dollar and eight dollar price point along with their regular menu, so everyone can swing by and affordably purchase a quick bite.

Happy happy joy joy, I can't wait for this!

BOXER BERNARD HOPKINS NEW FACE OF PRADA EYEWEAR

Boxing great and future Hall of Famer, Bernard "The Executioner", has been tapped by Prada for a new ad campaign in support of their eyewear line.
The boxer was photographed by Brigitte Lacombe, a world-class portrait photographer, as he showcased the new Prada "Linea Rossa" eyewear collection, named after the "sweet science": Prada Upper Cut, Prada Jab, Prada Barnburner.

"I am thrilled to be a part of this campaign," said Hopkins. "Prada is known throughout the world as a top luxury brand and as a world champion, it is great to represent the sport in ads that will be seen around the globe. People are already familiar with the way I work my uppercut and jab in the ring, now they can see me wearing them in my Prada ads."

The new Prada will run in Italian and international press beginning this month.
Hopkins is joined by fellow pugilists super lightweight world champion Amir Khan of the UK, and 2008 Olympic super heavyweight champion Roberto Cammarelle of Italy, who appear in separate ad layouts.

"Not just thanks to their prestigious track record, but also because of their strong personalities and their sporting talent and determination," a rep for Prada said of the athletes chosen.

I personally am happy for Bernard Hopkins, I don't think he gets the acknowledgement that he truly deserves. Kudos and hand claps to you champ.

 Before her death, Amy Winehouse was working on a clothing line for Fred Perry, with whom she'd signed a four-season deal. Following uncertainty over the fate of the remaining two seasons after Winehouse's death, Fred Perry has talked things over with her family and decided to release the fall 2011 and spring 2012 lines, which will be available in Fred Perry and other stores carrying the brand. Profits from the line will go to the forthcoming Amy Winehouse Foundation, which her dad says will "help children and young people in her name."

The Outré Designer Delves Into the Mystic In His Entangling Short Film

Stepping into the role of High Priestess, muse and artist Taiana Giefer gets intimately acquainted with a writhing octopus in multimedia artist Paris Kain's gnostic short film. A frequent runway collaborator of Alexander Wang and Francisco Costa, Kain is best known for his talismanic jewelry line Abraxas Rex, founded in 2007, in which he embeds materials including meteorites and dinosaur bones into gold and platinum-silver alloy. With Octo-Pussy he expounds upon his favored themes of mysticism and the occult. "In tarot, the octopus represents insight and esoteric vision. It is in constant motion, waxing and waning to the moon and guided by its goddess the High Priestess," he says.

MARTIN MAY BE RETURNING TO TV!

Nearly fifteen years after leaving the small screen, Bad Boys and Big Momma's House star Martin Lawrence is eyeing a TV comeback. Vulture has learned that CBS is deep into negotiations on a deal with Lawrence that would have the actor star in and executive produce his own comedy series for the network, whose sister studio CBS Television Studios would produce. There's no word yet on a writer for the project. Usually, talent-holding deals like the one Lawrence is close to signing result in several writers pitching possible projects for the actor, with the talent, network, and studio all ultimately deciding to move forward with one idea.

Before becoming a major late-nineties box office draw, Lawrence starred in one of the Fox network's earliest live-action sitcom successes, playing the titular role in more than 130 episodes of Martin from 1992 until 1997. (Sheneneh, "Damn, Gina!" etc.) The show went on to have a successful and profitable run in syndication. Assuming the Lawrence deal results in a series — most likely during the 2012-13 season — Lawrence would add diversity to a network-TV comedy landscape which currently boasts few African-American actors as the central focus of a sitcom. As long as Lawrence stays out of drag for his CBS series, his return to TV could be a good thing.
