The paintings in Bob Dylan's "The Asia Series," which are currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery in Manhattan, have come under fire for their resemblance to widely available pre-existing photographs.

Jay-Z & Kanye West: Watch the Throne - review Jay-Z gets all the best lines, but it's Kanye who seems to be in creative charge here, says Alexis Petridis 'Watch the Throne feels more like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy than a Jay-Z ­album' … Alexis Petridis on Jay-Z and Kanye West's album. Photograph: Sipa Press / Rex Features You have to be impressed with Jay-Z's resolve when it comes to the matter of collaborative albums, perhaps the one chequered area in an otherwise triumphant career. A mini-album with nu-metal band Linkin Park was at best a minor addition to his oeuvre, but it looked like a roaring success compared to his collaborations with R Kelly, which spawned two terrible albums - the latter promoted by a tour Jay-Z colourfully described as a "nightmarish odyssey", and which abruptly concluded when Kelly was maced by one of Jay-Z's entourage en route to the stage at Madison Square Gardens.

Before the Rodarte show, one of the photographers made a crack about the "teenage front row." Elle and Dakota Fanning, next to Tavi Gevinson, were facing Taylor Swift (who is an adult), next to Anna Wintour. While it is true that Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the Rodarte designers, skew young in their fan base, I think that is part of what fuels the appeal of their collections, at least among a fashion set that is eternally nostalgic for that moment in high school when anything seemed possible. (See Rookie.) Beyoncé and Solange Knowles made a late entrance, so maybe the appeal is even broader.

NEW HAVEN - It is set to begin again Monday morning in a claustrophobic courtroom here: photographs of two girls burned to death, witnesses fighting back tears, testimony about the night and day a family endured horror.

TUNIS - Like the flight of Tunisia's dictator or the trial of Egypt's, the capture of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi on Thursday afternoon captivated the Arab world, giving a renewed sense of power and possibility. But the photographs of his bloody corpse that circulated just moments later on cellphones and television screens quickly tempered that exhilaration with a reminder of the many still-unresolved conflicts that the Arab Spring has also unleashed.

The FBI investigated, and then arrested, 10 Russian spies last year in a case that captured the nation's attention. Now, in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the law enforcement agency is posting photographs, documents, and video clips of the suspects in secretly-taped meetings with undercover FBI agents.
