• The Chief is staying. Killing any rumors that he was headed to London, LAPD Chief William Bratton said that he has no interest in becoming the head of London's New Scotland Yard. So wait, what happened to the OLD one?
• Miley Cyrus is celebrating her Sweet 16 at Disneyland tonight. "The Happiest Place on Earth" will close early to kick out the regular people and allow the 5000 folks who dropped $250 a head to come in and party with Hannah Montana.
• Sinking to a new low, some lawyers are now soliciting the victims of the Metrolink tragedy. The State Bar has now had to issue a warning to lawyers if they are found to be initiating contact with the the victims.
• At least one person has an idea of how the economy has turned south. Too bad its "Azzam the American", the infamous Southern Cali Al-Qaida member. He released a video with his opinion of the economy and other rantings which is a surprise considering he was supposed to have been killed by a missile fired from a drone (not unlike the opening scene in Eagle Eye... but we digress).
• Racing is said to blame for a deadly head-on crash this morning. The driver, who was killed, was believed to be going more than 125 miles an hour when he ran head on to a minivan. The investigation is still ongoing.
• Eating Tacos is NOT a Crime! The great Taco Truck Wars may have come to an end. The DA has announced that it will not appeal a judge's ruling to throw out a law that required taco truck operators to move every hour or get stuck with a 100,000,000,000,000 peso (that's $1000) fine and possible jail time. Viva Los Tacos!!!
