Of course Supervisor Yvonne Braithwaite-Burke lives in her district. Or maybe not. (Los Angeles Times) Nicole Richie appears at the Glendale courthouse, reporter gets elbowed in the head (East of the 5/Daily News). As for Nicole, she gets 4 days in jail. (KCAL) Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out, Paris. The Hilton heiress' Hollywood home is for sale. (Curbed LA) How much do you love your botox?......

Apartment Therapy is seeking local submissions for their SMALLEST COOLEST APARTMENT contest. Check out pictures from last year’s contest and get all the details on how to enter.

Yeah, we see that the LA Times already provided us with plenty of food- and container-based puns regarding this event, but for some idiotic reason we can't resist telling you to get off your can and check out what's happening at the Westfield Fashion Square this weekend. Phew. Glad that's out of our system. It's the Canstruction design competition/canned food drive, come to our fair city at last. Competing teams work to make giant......

Apartment Therapy helped solve a personal 2 year mystery for us today. We knew we recognized the cover of LA-based DJ & Producer Greyboy's 2004 release Soul Mosaic from somewhere but, for the life of us, couldn't place it. One random ebay auction later and now we know that it was the cover of a classic Sunset Do-It-Yourself book. Why we couldn't place that is anyone's guess. The auction is still super cheap so......

Naveen Andrews loves Los Angeles: It kind of has an element of rootlessness, and it attracts rootless people. Google and the Da Vinci Code. We have to confess, starting off with an easy sudoku clone was a good way to get us hooked. The game began today. There's shaking going on at the San Andreas fault and seismologists aren't quite sure why. We do know that it wasn't why the Hotel San Diego fell......

Since we all live here we don't need to go to hotels, although a hotel bar once in a while isn't so bad. Especially when it's to soak up some nice high-end design that's popped up in a brand new spot. And when we visited Apartment Therapy LA today, we went a little gaga for the new Chamberlain Hotel in West Hollywood. The public spaces are a buffed-up movie-version of Regency style — your......

Today is the last day of Apartment Therapy's See My Artwork Contest, and so far they've put 10 submissions on display. We're torn between the tiny bathroom art (#7, pictured) and the portraits (#4). We'd like to see them do it again. We're voyuers like that. LA Foodblogging is giving away a pair of tickets to the Napa Nightlife wine event at the Hollywood Roosevelt next Monday. How can you win? Write a wine-y......

In a coup of who cares, the LA Times Home section today features a story on the sleep industry. Yawn. The lead, with 9 whole pictures of the Getty Villa's gardens, is better than usual for them. But click on over to the NY Times and once again, our hometown rag wilts in comparison. New York has a gorgeously photographed Park Slope brownstone complete with audio tour slideshow, a Texas butler, and fantasies of......

- The very cool Apartment Therapy now has an LA version. - This seems like an odd week to be profiling Chatsworth as an ideal place to buy a home. - Porn Valley gets the documentary treatment on Playboy starting this weekend and the documentary was done by the Wow Report folks. - What Latino-Black divide? South Los Angeles churches are seeing continued charity for Katrina across cultural lines. - Our friends at the......

We're still chuckling over ABC Carpet & Home co-founder Evan Cole's pronouncements in today's "New York Times" Home and Garden profile(found via Apartment Therapy). Cole has come to LA to reinvent himself with a new home furnishings emporium called HD Buttercup, which is located in the Helms Bakery building in Culver City. A new Brentwood resident, Cole should fit right in with the area's other visionaries. "I take A.D.D. to a new level," he......
