Carolla scores! | Photo courtesy of the Weinstein Company Most people have probably pegged Adam Carolla as little more than a snarky morning DJ, but The Hammer reveals him to be a talented and occasionally inspired filmmaker. His inclusion of his longtime, almost unintelligible friend Oswaldo into the film was a stroke of pure genius. In Bruges didn't break any new storytelling ground but it was a completely satisfying piece of indie pie. Brendan Gleeson......

LAist was on hand for the world premiere of The Hammer and the subsequent Stoli-fueled afterparty (read our review of The Hammer here) and got exclusive interviews with the cast, crew, and celebrity guests (read the interviews here); and now that I've finally figured out how to upload photos, here are some photos from that evening as well!......

Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla at the Hammer premiere | Photo by Gary Reisman This past Wednesday night, stars convened at the Arclight Theaters in Hollywood for the Los Angeles Premiere of The Hammer, starring radio/TV personality Adam Carolla. (Read the LAist review of the movie.) The event drew a healthy number of famous faces, including Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Carson Daly, David Allen Grier, Dr. Drew Pinskey, Jeffrey Ross, Joel McHale, Mark Walberg,......

I'd rather have a Windy City Heat 2 but the The Hammer will have to suffice. | Photo courtesy of Hammer the Movie I've been a devoted fan of Adam Carolla since his early days on Loveline so don't expect any objectivity in my coverage of The Hammer. I've been waiting to see this movie since it played at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and tomorrow it finally hits theaters. Even non-fans of the......

If you've lived in the greater Los Angeles area for any length of time, you know Adam Carolla. You may know him as the longtime partner of Dr. Drew Pinsky (read the LAist interview with him) on the popular late night call-in radio show Loveline; or perhaps you've heard The Adam Carolla Show on KLSX 97.1 in the morning on your way to work. Comedy Central viewers will know him from The Man Show, Crank......

After being kicked off the Adam Carolla show, Danny Bonaduce was given his own radio show 2-3pm every weekday, only to remind listeners that Danny isn't like-able and is seriously lacking talent. He seemed to try to be more appealing on Carolla's show, maybe because it wasn't HIS show. Bonaduce started off on Thursday by telling us about the memo's he received from management "Don't talk so much about yourself, don't try and top everyone's......

After a year of working together, it appears that Adam Carolla and Danny Bonaduce do not get along, resulting in Bonaduce's removal from morning radio, and reassignment to an affiliate station in afternoons, Perez Hilton says. Radio-info.com posted the following chronology of events:- On 12/10, there was a lead in bumper that said "Only four more days of Danny Bonaduce .... for us at least" - On 12/11, Carolla and Bonaduce threw small shots at......

San Gennaro (also known as Januarius -- yes, as in the month) was one of those fantastic early Christian martyrs who suffered incomprehensible tortures and survived inexplicable violence under equally fantastic Roman persecution. He was tossed into the flames but did not burn; the ever-resourceful Romans then tried to feed him to wild beasts, but (le sigh) the animals laid down at his feet instead of devouring him. Exhausted and frustrated, the Romans beheaded......

Another festival alert, this one concerning cheese! Hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla will be celebrating the Italian-American immigrant experience this weekend in Hollywood at the 6th Annual Cheese Feast of San Gennaro. Eat some excellent Italian food, play some bocce ball (courts will be set up all day), research your heritage, and watch a parade of the saint through the streets of Hollywood. (San Gennaro was one of those indestructable superhero saints who......

When Howard Stern left the airwaves, many of us in LA were too cheap, or too lazy, or too broke to follow him to Sirius. Adam Carolla took over, coming from years of experience in radio, and a frequent guest on the Stern show when it was on KLSX. Adam has since built his following, fine tuned the show, and is kicking ass in morning radio. That isn't to say it has been a completely......

With the NFL preseason underway and no team in LA, why would anybody dance for joy? Flashy wideout Chad Johnson challenged Adam Carolla (who broadcasts out of Los Angeles) to enter his Touchdown Celebration Showdown on Yahoo! Here's what Adam came up with. You can probably do better, so submit your 30 second clip and show the world that even though we can't technically win any NFL games here in LA, we can win......

With the year winding down, LAist is asking famous celebs, local politicians, and other movers & shakers of LA to tell us what they thought were tops of 2006. Before founding PostSecret, Frank Warren grew up in the Valley and attended Colfax Elementary School with Adam Carolla. If you missed his book signing last month, you can catch him on January 15th at Borders Books in Torrance as he signs the next PS book, "The......

120 year old Indian woman died this week. She claimed that smoking marijuana every day was the reason for her long life. - All Headline News "Weeds" star and Hollywood Blvd. preacher, Craig X, was arrested last month for distributing marijuana. He says the "sacrament" that he sold to people at Temple 420 on Hollywood Blvd. is protected under the freedom of religion and Prop 215. The LAPD, who officially pressed charges this week,......

Is LA really that tough of a market that no one can stand out as the perfect fit in morning radio? Is it really that hard to entertain the infamous Los Angeles morning commute? With billboards in LA proclaiming him The King of Free Media, and with KLAC's station manager calling him not just the future of radio but proclaiming that "there is not a more talented performer on the air today," starting Monday,......

The best all-girl rock band ever to come out of Palo Alto is scheduled to rock the Universal Studios City Walk tonight as part of the festivities for the Dodger Rally, as the home team prepares to travel to the big apple to take on the New York Mets. From 6p-8p, FreeFM's morning radio cellar-dweller Adam Carolla will MC the party that will star Dodger greats like Ron Cey, Steve Garvey, and Tommy Lasorda.......

Congratulations to Jose Canseco for winning the Home Run Hitting contest at the Golden Baseball All-Star game yesterday. We wont mention his "perfomance" on the mound. Congratulations Dave Navarro, for using your blog perfectly to answer the pressing questions: What does amicably separated mean? It means that Carmen and I love each other, we are and always will be best friends. In fact, we are supporting each other through this time. What better way......

"Love Pearl Jam. But Pearl Jam now is like the Gap crowd. The baggy trousers. It's a date. It's nice, lovely music. You know, there is a whole other world out there. But people are snobbish and don't want to mix with it. We love those people. We embrace them. They are as loyal as they can be." - Sharon Osbourne, LA Times 7/6 “We cannot allow political pressure from critics of unpopular ideas......

There are hundreds of sketch comedy shows in LA, but this one is definitely not to be missed. Laist was lucky enough to catch a preview of Charlie and the Chocolate Sunday Show at the ACME Comedy Theatre on La Brea this Sunday. ACME is famously known as the stage where comedians such as Adam Carolla, Wayne Brady, Alex Borstein, Sean Hayes and others perfected their comedic chops. It's refreshing to see that the......
