Trying to keep it light today people...

HBOs 'Entourage' makes Los Angeles a character
While "Entourage" is a show about four close buddies, the HBO series gets much of its charm from what is arguably the group's fifth member: the city of Los Angeles.
El Lay's status at the center of the U.S. entertainment industry means lots of shows nominally take place here. But few — if any — shows approach the city with such precision and affection for its restaurants, shops and other neighborhood institutions.

The Apprentice Los Angeles Down To The Final Six
The final six candidates from NBC's "The Apprentice: Los Angeles" head to Las Vegas to help promote the newest Trump project, and a shocking boardroom ending leaves two people fired on this Easter Sunday. Oh, joy.

"Grave dancer" Zell sets sights on newspaper industry
I guess when you're worth that much money, it doesn't matter what you're called or what you call yourself. I guess in the context of what he does, it makes sense though.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be an obtainable goal...

osecutors say Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, was drunk when he steered his sport utility vehicle into the wrong lane of Pacific Coast Highway early Wednesday, striking Clark's car. The filmmaker and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, died at the scene.

'Onion Field' killer Smith dies
Jimmy Lee Smith, one of the two men convicted for Los Angeles' infamous "Onion Field" murder, died this week in jail at the age of 76. Convicted for the murder of Los Angeles Police Officer Ian Campbell in 1963, Smith spent most of his life since then in prison, and the Los Angeles Times said he was in the city's Pitchess Detention Center when he died of a heart attack Friday.

Thousands Protest US Immigration Reform Plans in Los Angeles
Protesters marched through the streets of downtown Los Angeles Saturday, with many carrying American flags and signs that said “Amnesty Now!” Organizers said the marchers want an end to raids designed to catch illegal immigrants, and an easier, less expensive pathway to citizenship than the one proposed by the White House. President Bush’s plan would allow undocumented workers to apply for three-year work visas, , (known as Z-visas, which would cost $3,500 to renew). If they want to gain permanent residency, illegal immigrants would have to return to their native countries, then apply at a U.S. Embassy or consulate for re-entry and pay a $10,000 fine.
