In the art world, one man's trash has always been another's masterpiece. And long before Dash Snow made his first semen-coated newsprint collage, there was self-taught conceptualist Joseph Cornell, whose acclaimed body of work gets revived tomorrow at the SF MoMA. Cornell's first-ever West Coast retrospective features nearly 200 pieces, from the whimsical "Pantry Ballet (For Jacques Offenbach)," 1943, which features a chorus line of plastic lobsters wearing tulle skirts, to the slightly creepy "Untitled (Penny Arcade Portrait of Lauren Bacall)," 1954 (above left), as well as 30 objects never before shown.

Rather stare at anatomically precise 16th-century paintings of decapitated heads? Swing by today's Anatomy as Art auction at Christie's in New York. The 230-item lot features a delightfully morbid hodgepodge of medical illustrations, paintings, and wax sculptures by anatomists like Leonardo da Vinci and Jacques Gautier d'Agoty (above right). The highlight (for fans of this stuff, anyway) may well be Andreas Vesalius' seminal 1543 textbook. Bring your checkbook: It's expected to go for $300,000.

Or, for a couple hundred grand less, you can own the flag patch that adorned Peter Fonda's leather jacket in Easy Rider. It's part of a 43-piece collection of the actor's personal memorabilia that goes on sale this weekend in Dallas. Also available: the Department of Defense badge Fonda wore in the film, and a drawing he made for his old man when he was seven (estimated sale price: $400). As for something you might actually consider buying, there's Fonda's 18-karat-gold Rolex GMT Master, which starred in Easy Rider's precredit scenes. Expected to fetch around $10,000, it's said to be in decent shape: "You remember the poster boy for the counterculture, throwing away his watch at the beginning of the film as a symbolic revolt against materialism?" asks Doug Norwine, who set up the Fonda auction. "He didn't throw the Rolex. He threw a cheap Timex instead."

What with all the recent MP3-player-related news—the release of the iPod Touch, a nifty new crop of Nanos, Microsoft's reworked Zune—it's easy to overlook one not-so-minor detail: They all come with crappy headphones. Allow us to recommend a solution that won't cost as much as another iPod: Shure's great-sounding SE110s. And while the $99 models don't boast the sonic range and bass response of the brand's higher-priced, dual-driver offerings, these iPod-friendly 'phones offer far more impressive low-end definition and high-frequency sparkle than stock earbuds. They're also remarkably comfortable, thanks to canal sleeves in three sizes and two materials (pliable silicon and forgiving black foam). And, though we can't verify that these headphones block out exactly 90 percent of ambient noise (as the company promises), they did an admirable job of keeping the standard cacophony of urban life at bay (with the exception of sirens and horns, which you're supposed to be able to hear, anyway). All well and good, but what about the most important question? Good news for all you iPhone and iPod Touch owners: no annoying recessed-jack adaptor needed.

Following the success of Hickey Freeman's puckish Hickey offshoot and Thom Browne's boundary-pushing Black Fleece collection for Brooks Brothers, Paul Stuart is unveiling its own younger-skewing second line. Dubbed Phineas Cole, the collection falls somewhere between the Bastian-on-a-budget of Hickey and the fashion-forward (and oddly pint-sized) shopper Browne is targeting with Black Fleece. Suit coats—there are also shirts, trousers, and accessories—are cut shorter and closer to the body, with smartly attenuated waists and shoulders, while trousers cut an equally lean profile: Belt loops are eliminated in favor of adjustable side tabs. ("We don't believe in belt loops for Phineas," says VP and design head Michael Ostrove.) So who exactly is this fictional Phineas? He's "the errant son of Paul Stuart," explains CEO Clifford Grodd, "a cosmopolitan and educated traveler who's a connoisseur of style." We'll have to trust him on the errant part, but given the line's rigorous tailoring and high-end materials (wool and cashmere in several weights are sourced from mills in England and Italy), young Phineas certainly seems to have good taste in clothes. And, apparently, he's also into exclusivity: Each combination of style and fabric will appear in a maximum of 20 numbered suits.

Phineas Cole Collection, suits from $1,384, shirts from $186, trousers from $344, sport coats from $1,284, neckwear from $107, outerwear from $697, and sportswear from $258; all available at Paul Stuart NYC, (212) 628-0320, and Chicago, (312) 640-2650, paulstuart.com

MOVIES: Fall can officially begin, now that Clooney has arrived with this year's Oscar-friendly drama tackling an Important Issue. Good news: Thanks to a taut Tony Gilroy script and a bang-up performance by George (not to mention some nicely tailored suits), Michael Clayton is good stuff. Elsewhere, John Cusack tries to make up for Must Love Dogs with Grace Is Gone, Ben Stiller stars in a surprisingly decent remake of The Heartbreak Kid, and Jake Paltrow directs his sis in The Good Night.

MUSIC: A big week for dad rock. To wit: The Very Best of Mick Jagger, John Fogerty's Revival, Dylan, a three-disc greatest hits package disguised as a collector's item, and Bruce Springsteen's anthemic Magic. Over in the mom-rock aisle, Annie Lennox shows she's got her finger on the pulse with Songs of Mass Destruction.

TV: Whether it's actually good can be debated, but Cavemen, debuting tonight on ABC, is certainly better than it ought to be. Tomorrow night, The Sarah Silverman Program returns to Comedy Central, tackling the always-hilarious subject of abortion. Also worth noting (or at least DVR-ing): the premiere of Pushing Daisies (Wednesday on ABC), and the return to NBC of both 30 Rock (Thursday), and Friday Night Lights (Friday).

DVD: Caligula, the most expensive X-rated flop that Gore Vidal ever wrote, comes to DVD (again) with a three-disc "Imperial Edition" featuring, among other things, a scantily clad 34-year-old Helen Mirren (above). Also out: Francis Ford Coppola's mediocre rendition of Dracula, the first season of Jericho, and the concert flick The Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996.

BOOKS: Julie Kavanagh's Nureyev: The Life (not to be confused with Diane Solway's Nureyev: His Life) tackles the  disco-rific ballet star's, yes, life. And first-time memoirist Shalom Auslander channels Philip Roth in Foreskin's Lament, which might as well be the subtitle to The Terror Dream, Susan Faludi's exploration of America's psychological state post-9/11.

Just in time for beard season comes a new razor that might make you think twice about growing out that peach fuzz. The Fusion Chrome Collection, a joint offering from The Art of Shaving and Gillette, combines the former's old-fashioned aesthetic sensibility with Gillette's latest high-tech wizardry. The result is a razor you'll feel okay about leaving out in the open (and actually using, but more on that in a second). Its polished chrome is manly without being flashy, and the handle is as satisfyingly tactile as a Tibaldi fountain pen, thanks to its texture grips and thermo-resin coating. "A lot of our inspiration came from the design of premium men's accessories like watches and luxury pens, as well as cars and technology items," explains The Art of Shaving cofounder Myriam Zaoui. So is the shave really the best a man can get?

With all due respect to our friend Shorty the barber, it may well be, particularly when you're using the $150 Power Razor, which vibrates as you shave (if your hands are just naturally shaky, you can get a nonvibrating version for $25 less). The Power model also comes with a built-in spotlight—the world's first. We gave the thing a few trial runs, and while the light was a tad underpowered, and those electric toothbrush-like vibrations were sort of off-putting at first, both helped achieve the desired goal: a much closer shave. In fact, the beard may have to wait till next fall.

The Fusion Chrome Collection, available today; manual razor, $125; power razor, $150; shaving brush, $75; two available stands, $100 each; available at The Art of Shaving stores nationwide, theartofshaving.com
