Extra, Extra: The Britney Spears Pumpkin
- It's Halloween and that means it's a big day at CreepyLA.com. Among many stories posted today, an interview about today's holiday with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
- How does one do a green Halloween? Do like Siel: organic pumpkins, drink and go by public transit and send eco-Halloween e-cards.
- There's plenty to do in the ghost town that was tonight. Head Downtown!
- And while Downtown, Mayor Sam has some updates from political ghosting at City Hall.
- Blogging.la says the real Halloween is found at the Staples Center tonight at 7:30 p.m. where the Kings will produce real blood slashing sticks on ice against Columbus.
- Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce to you the Britney Spears, ahem, excuse me, the It's Britney, B!+¢h! pumpkin. And who carved it? Well, the L.A. Business Journal of course. Because that makes sense.
- Here's your 411 if you're heading down the WeHo tonight. The partying begins...now, actually.
- What a day to print this article: California may be forced to redesign executions.
