Jeff Bridges

What with winning an Oscar for his latest film, Crazy Heart, and an upcoming starring role in Tron Legacy, these are sweet times for Jeff Bridges. Talking to the press at the Academy Awards, the veteran actor admitted that he was still "digging the Dude", the White Russian-sipping hippy he played in the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski. One trip to his official site will tell you why: it's because Bridges basically is The Dude. Instead of type, the site is hung together with drawings and doodles and scrawled handwriting. While there are no photographs of Bridges himself, several can be seen of a catfish with a basketball stuck in its mouth. There's space for his own strung-out music, while the links to some of his favourite web places range from a panda golf game to a conspiracy theory about restaurants spreading germs via lemon slices.

Bad Stock Art

A good deal of media images are provided by stock agencies – the people who offer photographs of two-stone denim-wearing models with a beaming child to represent the average British family or a mangled Amex card to illustrate the credit crunch. Within their bottomless library lurk plenty of bizarre, strange and seemingly inappropriate pictures. This site is dedicated to innocent image searches that have turned up deranged photos – such as a the top choice for the word "broken" being a shot of a woman eating shards of glass, and the results for "barbie" including a close-up of a hairy mole. Meanwhile, you might expect a search using the word "crazy" to locate something mad, but a deer in a rollneck drinking coffee?
