- Oh L.A. and your crazy kooky vagrants! Please meet Crazy Doll Lady (as we are calling her), pictured in the photo above. She and her scary puppet friends hang out around Sunset and Vine every day, and wait outside the Hollywood Public Library every morning for food handouts. Say hi to her if you see her...or drive by real real fast like I do!
- Even if the Globes are cancelled, Academy Awards organizers are claiming that the Oscars will indeed go on.
- Remember the 13-year-old girl who committed suicide because of heart-breaking and harassing MySpace messages she received from a woman pretending to be cute teenage boy? Well, lawyers may have figured out a way to prosecute and convict the adults responsible.
- Some drugged-out crazy man pulled a Michael Jackson last night in Sylmar, dangling a 18-month-old baby over a railing. Incidentally, police used a taser to subdue the guy, instead of firearms.
- A Wii Battleaxe? IPhone knockoffs? A 150" flat-screen TV? Gizmodo has these and many more highlights from the Consumer Electronics Show.
- Tom Cruise is now beaming up disgruntled striking writers into his UA spaceship: "writers have reached a deal with Tom Cruise's production outfit United Artists Films to resume working while the strike continues against other studios."
- NPR reports on The Guvnuh and the budget deficit: "The governor has said he will propose deep budget cuts Tuesday and declare a "fiscal emergency" within a month."
- It's a slow news day. Why don't you get out and enjoy the quiet and the crisp air, and see some movies? American Cinematheque is hosting foreign film screenings all week long.

i vote to change crazy doll lady's name to "the master of puppets"
hahahahahahahahahahah awesome.
They are everyday in Hollywood Blvd. I don't know if they make any money in there, but for sure if you walk by on hollywood blvd next to Cahuenga, you won't miss them!
There's a third doll, other than the two in the pic, I wonder who they pimped it out to.....
i love how the commenters, and more importantly the "writer" have decided to label oree and betty crazy. they are far from it. the reason why they have those dolls is because that is how they used to earn a living -- as ventriloquists, before they ended up on the street. which could likely happen to any one of you, living pay check to check. carrie, if you truly knew them, or even tried to get to know them before making them the lead joke of your posting, you would realize that they are great people.

PS it takes talent to grab a photo from flickr simply to make fun of someone...very mature.
I may not be mature but at least I have a fucking sense of humor.
it still appears that others find your posting humorless

why was this posting deleted the first time?
discarted, why don't you do an interview with Puppet Lady, take some great pix, and send it over to Zach, our editor, and we'll post it up? Show us we're wrong by being cool & helpful, not by being negative and humorless.
okay. i will. but talking shit about them is being postive? not negative? you just struck a nerve that's all
