When you make your living selling bizarre items, it's hard to be shocked -- unless, of course, you're looking at the death mask of a two-headed baby.That strange item stopped Evan Michelson and Mike Zohn in their tracks recently when they were looking for a special item for an artist who creates lifelike wax models and needed a death mask for inspiration.Michelson and Zohn own Obscura Antiques & Oddities, a New York City store that specializes in one-of-a-kind artifacts such as monkey race cars, possessed ventriloquist dummies and artworks made of human hair.Even after years of buying and selling the world's most bizarre items, Michaelson and Zohn were shocked by the sight of the two-headed baby death mask shown to them by Mike Drake, a well-known mask collector.'That's pretty creepy,' Zohn said. 'It's probably a little too much inspiration [for the client]. She wants something a little more ... traditional.'Drake then offered an alternative death mask, one known in French as 'L'Inconnue de la Seine,' or 'Unknown Woman of the Seine.''I believe it was around 1880, this woman drowned and, when they pulled her out from the river, they couldn't identify her,' Drake said. 'So they made a cast of her face for the purpose of identifying her later on. And it was unusual because she was smiling.'Drake said that the death mask was considered so beautiful that many copies were made and displayed in homes.'What's interesting is that she's been called the 'most kissed woman in the world,' because this is the face they used to make the first Resusci Anne doll,' Drake said. 'So if you took a CPR class, these are the lips you kissed.'Both death masks will be seen on the June 2 season premiere of the Science Channel series 'Oddities.'

A small town cinema in rural Ireland in the 1950s becomes the setting for a dramatic struggle between Rome and Hollywood, and a man and his conscience. Martin Sheen (THE WAY, THE DEPARTED, 'The West Wing') stars as Father Daniel Berry in a story about the excitement of the unknown versus the security of the familiar, as those in the town find themselves on the cusp of the modern but still clinging to the traditions of church and a cultural identity forged in very different times.

It's 2001 before Twitter, before the flash mob and before Obama. A political unknown named Grant Cogswell (Joel David Moore) decides he must take down Seattle City Councilman Richard McIver (Cedric the Entertainer). Grant has only one dream, but it's a big one: an elegant monorail gliding silently above the city's wet streets, with only a tiny footprint - 'like a kids' lemonade stand!' - on the ground. He is apoplectic with rage over McIver's mass transit proposal: a ground rail train he thinks will destroy lower class neighborhoods, wreak environmental harm on the local salmon population, and destroy the city. Grant has no campaign contributors, a tendency toward outbursts of profanity, and a snowball's chance in hell - until he lures recently fired alternative-weekly reporter Phil Campbell (Jason Biggs) to run his campaign. Phil may be a political neophyte, but he has the tact that Grant lacks and a 'what- the-hell-I-haven't-got-anything-better-to-do' attitude until he recruits an army of wild-eyed young volunteers to back their unlikely crusade, and the impossible begins to happen.

At the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, Russell Brand mocked Justin Bieber, Charlie Sheen, Michael Fassbender's penis and Katy Perry.'Justin Bieber is so pretty that even if he was attacking me, I'd do a little orgasm,' Brand joked, referencing Bieber's recent scuffle with a photographer. 'It's his hair!'The comic -- who co-stars in the upcoming 'Rock of Ages' and made many references to its June 15 release -- also goofed on Charlie Sheen, who was in the audience for reasons unknown. Brand told Sheen that he stashed a bottle of alcohol and some cocaine under the actor's seat in case Sheen wanted to imbibe.Brand also made jokes about his short-lived marriage to pop star Katy Perry through Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.'Wait until you see what I have to say about celebrities with short-lived marriages!' Brand said on Sunday night. 'Kanye storming the stage the last time I hosted took a lot of pressure off me, and Kim's record-breaking short marriage also took pressure off me. Cheers.'Brand and Perry met at the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2009 and were engaged by January of the next year. They married in India on Oct. 23, 2010.'The last time I hosted I did marry someone who was there, so I'm keeping my eyes open for a new wife tonight,' Brand said, before shouting, 'Fassbender!' That would be Michael Fassbender, who was at the MTV Movie Awards to represent 'Prometheus' and provide Brand with the opportunity to make penis jokes.For more on the MTV Movie Awards, check out HuffPost Entertainment's full coverage here.Actress Emma Stone arrives at the MTV Movie Awards at Universal Studios, in Los Angeles, California, on June 3, 2012.
