Honor Student (an up-and-coming Los Angeles sketch/short-film troupe) brings you the latest installment of the Peabody-winning* sports series, "PE With Coach Wiener." *J/K on the Peabody! It was actually a Pulitzer. Or was that a Razzie? We don't keep track.......

Gingersnaps and cocoa and rum balls and Italian knots and Kolacky and biscotti and chocolate chips, oh my! LAist has been in the kitchen, cooking up a Cookie Exchange. I Can Has JGoldBurger? Omg the PULITZER PRIZE WINNING JOURNALIST uses LOLspeak, I don't know what to say, my world has been all shook up like a snowglobe. It's entirely possible I was Afghani in a previous life (as well as Korean, Persian, Icelandic, and......

"You see this watch? You see this watch? That watch cost more than your car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see, pal, that's who I am. And you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you -- go home and play with your kids! You wanna work here? Close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker? You can't take this......

While rightly lauded for originating The Office, I think Extras is Ricky Gervais' true masterpiece. I mean, how can you possibly top Harry Potter flicking a rubber into Dame Diana Rigg's hair? I'll tell you how--have David Bowie improvise this song for Gervais' hapless Andy Millman. Unfortunately (really unfortunately), Gervais decided against another season of the show, but Season 2 is now available on DVD. Buy it. Watch it. Live it. What else is......

Sex is something that drives us, empowers us and gets us into really stupid situations with people we have no business seeing naked. Jen Sincero is the bestselling author and sexpert with the carnal knowledge you need. Ask her your questions (all are posted anonymously). Cuz there's no such thing as being too good in bed. Dear Jen, My relationships all tend to follow a frustrating pattern, something along the lines of: 1) Meet......

It was one of those lovely Sunday mornings down in the Valley: sunny and clear, not yet hot enough to send San Fernando-ists scurrying indoors towards the comfort of central air conditioning. We were looking for a casual and parent-friendly place along Ventura Boulevard to enjoy some lunch and a cold beer with our nearest and dearest. Mexicali Cocina Cantina seemed to fit the bill: reasonably priced, easy parking, and a wide array of......

The nicer the weather gets, the busier we get across the Ist-A-Verse. But we like being busy. Here's a peek at what we've been up to since last week! Chicagoist had an interview with Audrey Niffenegger, whose popular book, The Time Traveler's Wife, was based in their fine city. They also had a heated discussion about Rush Limbaugh's controversial Barack Obama parody, talked about whether Uncle Julio's Hacienda is a good place to get......

I am probably in the minority here, and I couldn't care less. I am sick and tired of these solid as a rock tittie implants that women in LA are boldly carrying around on their chests like camels with cement humps. There are a fair number of people who believe I have some sort of implant fetish because I feel the need to shout "LOOK FAKE BOOBS!" whenever I see them (as if the......

members and ex-members of Mara Salvatrucha The Annenberg School at USC is hosting the Getty/TNT/Canon/LATimes World Press Photo Award-Winning Images of '06 thru Feb. 1 and it's bloody horrifying. And not just because TribCo axe-man David Hiller is in town (photo below -- James O'Shea was on hand but held fire, er, I mean he didn't speak). Matter o' fact, USC's Annenberg School is the only host of this traveling Dutch-based show in the U.S.......

This is LAist’s mutherfuckin’ Snakes on a Plane review. This should have happened months ago, but like every other person we neglected to cough up the bucks at the box office and opted instead to wait for its DVD release. To make the case for SOAP, it doesn’t live up to the internet hype but it does however manage to pull off death by snakebite to the penis quite gracefully. The sickeningly twisted snake......

Tim Sullivan writes a weekly column for the San Francisco Chronicle. He says he still has no idea what it's about. He likes punk rock music and posting photos on Buzznet. And, according to this list, he likes Frisco over our beautiful paradise. We can only wonder which is worse: not having a football team, or having two of the worst teams in all of football? Timmmmmmmay's Top 11 Reason's SF is Better Than......

In a publicity move you'll find under the "How to Revive a Flailing Career" chapter, Tara Reid went public today with the story that she had to undergo more surgery to undo damage to earlier boob job and lipo procedures. According to a Reuters story: In an interview released on Wednesday, the "American Pie" actress told the magazine she had surgery last month to reduce the scarring on her breasts and to even out......

You know there's really nothing on television when LAist watches a pregnant Britney Spears' sit-down with Matt Lauer for Dateline on NBC last night. (Do you need ratings this badly, Matt?) It was a tiny little pity party for the Malibu princess -- just in front of a nationwide audience. Getting all teary-eyed when talking about how tough her life is with the media hounding her and her hubby Kevin Federline relentlessly... or how......

We're bouncing back and forth between the NBC and E! red carpet broadcasts. Woah, Dean Cain is carpeteering for NBC and he still looks like Scott Peterson. Dean, it's time to lose the highlights. At the other end of the spectrum, Matt Dillon looks perfect. Really. Just perfect. In the post-Dawson's Creek runoff, Michelle Williams has easily trumped Katie Holmes for best career, best father of her child, best husband. Look how cute she......

Now, let's be honest with ourselves here and just speak the truth: Showgirls is the best movie ever made...ever. Disagree with LAist? Well, you're wrong. It even has a website saying as much with quotes and a picture of Elizabeth Berkeley's dad placed gloriously on her ass. Nomi Malone even has 72 friends on MySpace, many of whom, it seems, have no idea that she is a fictional character. Joe Ezterhas is like a......

Well, not quite, but she does plan on breaking bread with the Commander -in-Chief in June. The Porn Star turned recall candidate for Governor will join her boss, Michael Kulkis (of Kick Ass Pictures), at National Republican Congressional Committee events (NSFW) in Washington DC next month. Carey also announced her intention to run for Lt. Governor next year and hopes that hobnobbing with the Republican faithful will get her in good with Schwarzenegger. The......
