Posted: 08 Jun 2012 10:46 AM PDT

Since its debut, "Girls" has received both rave reviews and some backlash, which was mainly regarding the lack of diversity amongst its characters. "Girls" star and creator Lena Dunham hasn't been shy about acknowledging the perceived problem, and in a new interview with The New York Times Magazine, Dunham jokes about her character making a new black friend next season.

HBO gave "Girls" a Season 2 order and "Community" star Donald Glover was spotted filming the new episodes with Dunham. In her interview with The New York Times Magazine Dunham was asked about the race issue again, although the Times interview does not mention Glover's casting.

Huffington Post: Working-Class Incomes Fell After Crisis, While The Bosses Saw Pay Rise

Posted: 08 Jun 2012 10:50 AM PDT

The sluggish economy has been more sluggish for some than others.

The median earnings of working class people fell more than 4 percent between 2007 and 2010, according to an analysis of Census data prepared for Bloomberg. That's while college-educated professionals or managers saw median earnings jump nearly 2 percent.

The findings add evidence to a widely reported trend -- that the recession's losses and the recovery's gains have actually hit middle class and poorer Americans harder than the rich and corporate elite. S&P 500 companies made an average of $420,000 per employee last year, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis from earlier this year. That's a full ninth more than in 2007 before the recession. Top Wall Street CEOs also saw pay grow by 20 percent.

Huffington Post: How High Art Goes Viral: YouTube's Best 'A Photo A Day' Videos (PHOTOS)

Posted: 08 Jun 2012 10:51 AM PDT

What makes a video go viral? There's an alchemy to the process that we'd like to investigate through the lens of art. By exploring the art of the viral video, we often find that lowbrow entertainment can stem from highbrow art concepts.

Today we are looking a the sensation that is a "Photo a Day" video, in which people chronicle their lives and appearances by snapping daily photos for an extended period of time. (Some extend for one year, others for half a decade or more.) We have compiled a slideshow of the best variations on the theme YouTube has to offer.

Behind the cheesy fonts and bad background music we see hints of a radical performance piece by artist Tehching Hsieh. For "Year Performance 1980-1981 (Time Clock Piece)" Hsieh punched a worker's time clock in his studio, on the hour, every hour, for an entire year. Just to hammer it in, this made it impossible to sleep for over 59 minutes at a time for an entire year! With each punch he took a self-portrait on a single frame of 16mm film, combining them to create a film depicting a year in his life at one second per day.
