MGK


Named for the way he rapidly spits tight rhymes, Machine Gun Kelly is taking a gangster’s moniker into the hip-hop arena—and instead of being a gangsta, he’s making a difference.

There’s something about Hawaii that makes leaders of the men who are drawn to its islands (Sailor Jerry and Barack Obama being two of the more famous examples)...

MICHAEL MADSEN

“There’s a huge snow blizzard. Holy shit.” Michael Madsen is getting snowed in at his ranch in Montana. Married with six kids, I ask him if his entire family is with him. “Yes, except for my two older ones. They’re 16 and 18, back in L.A. pumping pussy. I don’t blame them.” With most actors, you can get a sense of what their real-life, off-screen personas are from talk-show appearances and the like. But Michael Madsen, while a fine actor and a modern day icon for badassity, isn’t exactly a mainstay on the celebrity circuit. So the only thing I had to go by was his on-screen personas, most notably ...

MICHAEL SYMON

Cleveland has had a tough run. From time to time its river would catch on fire, and more recently, favored son Lebron James publicly dissed it by televising his “decision” to leave for Miami. But what Cleveland does have going for it is hope that this will be the Indians’ year (one can always hope) and one of the culinary world’s sharpest knives, Michael Symon...

MICHAEL VOLTAGGIO

Working in a hotel or restaurant basically breaks down like this: There’s the front room staff of fawning maître d’s, suave managers, and polished hostesses, and there’s the back room staff, including the (more often than not) tattooed guys and girls working in the kitchen. And then there’s Los Angeles–based chef Michael Voltaggio, a back room guy who’s been thrust into a front room situation since capturing the grand prize in Bravo’s Emmy-winning season of Top Chef...

MIKE JONES

Mike Jones is known for giving out his cell phone number, screen name, and e-mail address to fans, but, ironically, he can be a hard man to get in touch with. Some calls to him go straight to a busy signal, and once, while attempting to schedule this interview, his manager said he had just dropped his cell phone in a swimming pool. But eventually he answers the phone while driving his Phantom to the Houston airport. He’s headed to Atlanta to check out a producer for his upcoming album, The American Dream. He just got in from Los Angeles this morning, and it sounds like he’s holding his cell ...

MIKE LEDGER TATTOO

“No one knew who I was when I moved to Hawaii,” says Mike Ledger. “I really had to work my way up from nothing again.” Originally from Farmingdale, New York, Ledger went from having a three-year waiting list to starting from scratch. “I had to prove myself and get accepted by the locals in Hawaii,” he remembers. Now he’s back to a waiting list. Inspired by his grandfather who had a full body suit, Ledger began his apprenticeship at 16 and has been inking for almost 20 years. His specialty (thanks to Granddaddy) is large-scale body suits, mostly Asian-inspired, and the occasional portrait work and photo-realism. Mike Ledger Tattoo resembles an upscale gallery setting, as Ledger’s paintings decorate the walls, creating an ambience that’s less tattoo parlor and more modern ...
