La Flamme, the budget-friendly Harvard Square barbershop has apparently been featured in the January/February issue of Playboy magazine. The barbershop has quite the history — it was established in 1898 and has serviced many a famous Harvard alumni, including Barack Obama. If anyone, er, sees the issue around, let us know what you find! (Besides the obvious.) [link]

Oh hayyyy

You may think that The Voice has a thing for Emma Watson, but damn. Her brother is way hotter! Emma’s 17-year-old brother Alex debuted as a model alongside her for the Burberry Spring/Summer ad campaign.

We're not...in Kansas...anymore?

House Masters are resigning, the weather is going bat-shit, and the singer Peaches became an Honorary Member of the Harvard Lampoon tonight. Is the world ending? Probably. Peaches, decked out as a glammed up Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, rocked out with karaoke in front of the Harvard Lampoon at 7PM tonight, and was inducted later at a “private induction ceremony” inside the Lampoon Castle.

Peaches albums include gems like Impeach My Bush and I Feel Cream. She sang her hit single “Fuck The Pain Away” twice.

From Peaches’ blog:

In honor of her prodigious achievements as an entertainer and musician, the Harvard Lampoon has selected the electro shock-rocker PEACHES to be inducted as a special Honorary Member of The Harvard Lampoon. The members of the Lampoon staff are huge admirers of her career and will celebrate with her on December 7th at their Annual Canadian Synthpunk/Glam Rock Awards Dinner. The event will kick off with a public karaoke party on the steps of the Castle followed with a private induction ceremony inside the Castle to follow.

Today, Mr. Don Draper of Mad Men himself–Jon Hamm–was filming in the Square right outside ABP, along with Ben Affleck. But here we have pictures of Jon Hamm since we already posted about Affleck yesterday. Plus, Hamm is much more beautiful. Seriously.

They are continuing filming on the movie The Town, which also stars Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively.

Ben Affleck was in Harvard Square again today, filming his new movie The Town.

Justin Timberlake was also here yesterday filming The Social Network (the “Facebook movie”). He’ll be back though. He brings everything back. Like sexy. So hopefully tomorrow, it will be himself.

*Clarification: Affleck is starring in film titled The Town. Timberlake is starring in The Social Network. Both films are being filmed in Harvard Square. The Square is so popularrrrr.

UPDATE: Now with moving pictures! Slash videos.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise must be feeling a bit neglected lately. With HarvardFML.com launching Harvard students to fame almost daily, students just don’t get excited anymore by the so-called celebrities frequenting our campus. Rather, our attention has been captured by the likes of red scarf Polish girl, Wigg A girl, or — most recently – K-pop Loving Turk.

The last person — Mr. Turk, let’s call him — is perhaps the most obscure of all. Sure, we know where Wigg A is, and what red scarves are, and hopefully where Poland is, but what’s all this about a K-pop loving Turk? Is K-pop a type of soda? Should we stock up, so that we can sip it conspicuously during Gov20 in the hopes that we’ll capture the attention of some tanned Turkish hottie?

Noice knows such questions are running through the minds of Harvard students everywhere, so we’re here to unravel a bit of the mystery surrounding Mr. Turk. Thus, Noice presents A Guide to K-pop. Because how else are you going to impress this famed personage without versing yourself in his interests?

In addition to immersing ourselves in obscure texts, complicated p-sets, and generally tough shtuff, sometimes a Harvard gal (or guy) just has to pick up a copy of Glamour. We could spiel about how such magazines  reinforce gender stereotypes, lack racial diversity, support self-image problems, play into the maddening aspects of celebrity culture, etc. etc…. but we probably don’t need to. And as we say, here at Noice we don’t hate, we appreciate – or at least as much as possible.

All of that in consideration, the November Glamour issue made a small Harvard shout-out that we felt we absolutely must share. Kate Dillon fans rejoice, they’ve done a whole spread on plus size women and she’s in it!

Everyone at the Harvard-Brown football game was there for one reason, and one reason only: to see Emma Watson. However, sightings were rare and Harvardians openly speculated that she wasn’t actually in attendance. We would like to set the record straight. She was there, we saw her, we photographed, and here’s the proof. Take that!

Emma, we love you!

Note from the Editor: There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown. As for the photo, it was taken on happenstance — one of our photographers happened to leave the game at the same time as Emma and snapped a quick photo. (September 27, 1:47AM)
