Daniel Edwards' headline-making nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez has found a new home. The life-size statue of the two teen stars will make its way to a Dallas-area porn shop in the very near future, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The shop, New Fine Arts, confirmed to the site that the statue will be on display there. Cory Allen, a rep for Edwards, also told The Reporter that the artist is planning a companion piece inspired by a 1968 cast made of Jimi Hendrix's private parts. The second statue will display Bieber's in the same way, using what he described as a "Warner Bros. cartoon" vibe.
So, why has Edwards decided...

The phrase “Tmi” was invented for situations like these. Also, “My Eyes!” Because that was our reaction when we heard Us based artist Daniel Edwards had created a sculpture of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez nude together. Can we please repeat this? Justin Bieber. Selena Gomez. Together. Naked. They’re supposed to be a 21st Century Adam and Eve. And just to up the ick factor, he’s called the piece. “Justin and Selena as One.” Seriously? And check this out, their most naughty bits have been covered by a Canadian maple leaf and a Texas lone star respectively.
It gets even more freaky. Right in front of the couple, he’s created a sculpture of a Canada goose — how should we say this politely — getting it on with a Texas armadillo. And in the best “explanation” we’ve heard, Edwards’ rep Cory Allen has said of the whole thing,...

The Internet was abuzz this week when controversial artist Daniel Edwards released his latest piece of art: a nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez with the words "Justin & Selena Forever" inscribed at the base of the statue.
The bronze statue, called "Justin and Selena as One," plays on the idea of Adam and Eve, with Bieber wearing a strategically placed maple leaf and Gomez wearing a strategically placed Texas Lone Star — references to Justin's native Canada and Selena's home state. But Edwards told MTV News the images aren't meant to be provocative for the sake of being provocative.

Teen couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone naked in the name of art. Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards has created a bronze metallic statue of the twosome almost entirely nude with only a Canadian Maple Leaf and a Texas Lone Star covering their intimate parts.
Titled "Justin and Selena as One", the life size portrait presents the "Baby" hitmaker and his songstress girlfriend as a 21st Century Adam and Eve. To be unveiled at Dallas' New Fine Arts, it features them conjoined at the torso with Selena appearing to lead Justin toward "Eden". In front of them are a Canada goose and Texas armadillo.
Of the statue, Daniel said in the press release, "The portrait represents both Canadian exceptionalism and Texas-American exceptionalism, but I believe Justin and Selena would ultimately choose Canada for their Garden of Eden, because Canada's Medicare and Aaa credit rating make it easier for young...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a new home in Oklahoma they haven't spent a cent on.
The Hollywood couple's five-year romance has inspired a new spread in Edmond, which is 50 miles (80.4 kilometers) from Pitt's native Shawnee.
The Brangelina estate will open to the public on 16 December.
Buyers must sign an "honorary ownership provision" which allows the celebrity couple lifetime access to visit the home, according to Life & Style magazine.
The home is priced at $500,000 (£312,500) and features a life-size casting of Pitt and Jolie in the throes of passion in the master bedroom.
Cory Allen, who represents the home's artist Daniel Edwards, says, "It was installed to inspire the room's occupants with love. The statues are embedded with crushed glass that contains Brad and Angie's DNA, obtained from wineglasses they (reportedly) drank from while celebrating the anniversary of their first meeting on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith."...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will always have somewhere to stay in Oklahoma.

You might remember Daniel Edwards from his oddball statue of Britney Spears birthing a baby on all fours. Well, the man with a penchant for all things weirdly celeb is back and this time he’s interested in Angelina Jolie breastfeeding two babies at the same time. At the same time! Only Angelina Jolie could do something so superhero-esque and nurturing…at the same time.
The statue has just been unveiled at the Mainsite Contemporary Art Gallery in New York City. The work, which is entitled Landmark for Breastfeeding, features Jolie au naturel while providing motherly milk to two newborns.
“People have a problem separating nudity and sexuality, and it’s just a human form, so I don’t see any problem with it,” said Cory Allen, project coordinator.
After the exhibit runs its course, the statue may wind up in a public park to be ogled by trench coat...
