The photos below show how the photos were exhibited...

Wolf’s installation in the US involved 16,000 toys purchased second-hand over 4-weeks from flea markets and stores across California.

Each toy had a face and was ‘made in China’.

The toys were shipped back to Wolf’s studio in Hong Kong where the back of each one was sanded down to create a flat surface. A magnet was then attached to the rear to allow them to be moved around the exhibit wall easily.

It took 3 people 10 hours per day for 3 days to install the toys. They were transported in 50 large boxes. The project involved 40 cans of black spray paint, 45,000 magnets and 45m sq of wall space

With only two weeks to go until the premiere of the final installment in the Twilight Series, Breaking Dawn: Part II, everyone in Hollywood is clamoring to talk about their involvement with the film.

Green Day bass player Mike Dirnt recently opened up about how his band contributed to the film’s soundtrack:

When we were asked to be part of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn  Part 2 soundtrack, we readily agreed because the films are an insane cultural phenomenon… We have always been impressed with the way the Twilight soundtracks are so carefully curated.

Wait just a minute there Mike.  Didn’t your buddy Billie Joe Armstrong just go on an insane public tirade against all things pop culture during the iHeart Radio Festival a couple months ago?

You’re gonna give me one minute?!  I’ve been around since f–ing nineteen eighty f–king eight, and you’re gonna give me one minute?! You’ve gotta be f–ing kidding me!

I’m not f–ing Justin Bieber, you motherf–ers!  Let me show you what one f–ing minute f–ing means…

Yeah.  That happened.  Now we know that since this outburst, Armstrong has checked into rehab and we totally applaud him for that, but c’mon – let’s call a spade a spade here.  The fellas in Green Day are looking for a sure way to make a buck and the easiest way for them to do that is to hitch their fading star to the Twilight Saga.

It’s a lame move, but the song is still pretty killer.

Check out the video for their single from the Breaking Dawn soundtrack “The Forgotten” below…

And yes, we do mean that kind of ‘adult’ doll…

According to reports, a ‘XXX’ blow up doll of pop star Justin Bieber has been released by the same company who made a similar doll of Miley Cyrus.

We sorry, call us old fashioned, but the only thing this doll could possibly be used for is a gag gift at bachelorette parties.

What do you think of the Justin Bieber blow up doll GossipTeen fans?  Sound off below!

Will you be purchasing an ‘adult’ Justin Bieber doll?
