- Back to the Bratz... Well, the Bratz trial that is. The judge denied the mistrial in the case Mattel has brought against MGA, the Bratz toymakers, so the case continues...
- Opening soon in Temecula: A winemaking facility that will be for amateur vintners wanting to bottle their own grape elixirs.

- Fly JetBlue? Like to be cozy when you settle in for that nap? Make sure you have $7 on you.
- Woody Allen's dislike of LA is well-known, so maybe while he's here he's trying to act like he's in NY. TMZ caught the director with his wife Soon-Yi walking in Beverly Hills.
- And congrats to the LA Times for picking up some noms in the Online Journalism Awards. They've got chances in a few categories for a variety of topics they covered, including politics, fires, and the Homicide Report.
