Eight Items or Less: Pink Floyd's Pig Was Found, Sebastian Horsley Is Allowed in U.S. and Rogan for Target Heads to Barneys
By Gary Pini

1. Pink Floyd's pig was found (deflated) in the California desert. The band's famous inflatable stage prop accidentally drifted away during their Coachella performance over the weekend. A La Quinta resident found a "big pile of shredded plastic" in his driveway early Monday morning and will receive a $10,000 reward from the festivals organizers. (via Yahoo)
2. British author/artist Sebastian Horsley is set to appear tonight and Saturday at two PEN World Voices events in New York City. Horsley was denied entry into the U.S. in March for "moral turpitude." UPDATE: We have received word from PEN that "Mr. Horsley was unable to attend this year and will not be appearing."
3. Spank Rock "experienced a sudden ailment" and was unable to perform at Coachella. After emergency surgery, he remains hospitalized in California and won't be appearing at Studio B on Friday.
4. Target is introducing a line of eco-friendly clothing designed by Rogan Gregory but the line will first be available only at Barneys New York. (Photo at right from the collection)
5. Twelve bottles of cream soda personalized with your photo for $29.99 (+ shipping) available here. (via WSJ)
6. Last year NOKIA sold 146 million cell phones.
