Park 51, the Islamic center and mosque planned and protested near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, won't just be any ol' controversial, multi-story house of worship when it opens. The Post reports today that Sharif El-Gamal, the project's developer, has planned to turn the currently non-descript space into a "futuristic-looking building wrapped in a honeycomb of abstract shapes ... cosmopolitan and fun." In fact, it'll be so cool that it might even silence its critics. "I don't think that once this thing gets built, anyone will be picketing," El-Gamal said.

Though the company has called The Social Network "fiction" and urged the filmmakers to cut scenes involving drug use, Facebook went on a company outing last night to see the movie. "To celebrate a period of intense activity at Facebook, we decided to go to the movies," Facebook spokesman Larry Yu said. "We thought this particular movie might be amusing." Reportedly, even Mark Zuckerberg checked it out with them, perhaps for a second time. (Maybe the guy really likes this film!) It makes sense that the company founders would secretly want everyone to see this movie, particularly their own employees. Sure there's a whole bunch of back-stabbing, but if an interpretation of your boss's life hit the big screen, depicting him or her at coke-fueled tech parties in Palo Alto and hooking up with groupies in the bathroom rather than sitting at a cubicle, wouldn't you work that much harder?

Yesterday, we met hot Russian babe Kristina Svechinskaya, who is not only very pretty but also among the 37 people charged with participating in an Eastern European–based bank-hacking scheme in which $3 million was stolen from the bank accounts of small businesses and private individuals. But what's sexier than a college co-ed who stole $35,000 from strangers and then cried about it in court? A busty, blonde Russian hacker who's still on the lam! Meet Kristina Izvekova, 22, pictured, a "sexy coed" who acted as a "money mule," helping overseas hackers use a computer virus to gain access to individuals' bank account numbers and PINs, then transfer cash into accounts set up by Izvekova and her cronies. Izvekova used a fake Greek passport to set up the bank accounts here in New York this summer, but when she wasn't committing crimes, the Daily News will have you know, she was "frolicking at the beach and posing at New York icons like the 'Love' sculpture on Sixth Avenue." Sure, her beauty is less subtle than teary-eyed Svechinskaya's. But at least she's sexy enough to flee the country in time and not get caught.

It all started when Raymond Roberts was pulled over in his Hyundai by the Manatee County, FL (yes, that's a real place), sheriff's office on Wednesday for speeding. When the cops approached his car, it apparently reeked of weed, so they made the 25-year-old get out of the car for a search. From the Smoking Gun:

During the search, when Deputy Sean Cappiello "felt a soft object in the crack of his buttocks," the suspect "began to tense up." Roberts volunteered to remove the item. “Let me get it, hold on” he said, and proceeded to place a "clear plastic baggie with a green leafy substance" on the car's hood.

It was 4.5 ounces of marijuana — though probably any situation in which a cop is groping around your butt crack would probably make you "tense up."
