Going into F8 (the Facebook Developers Conference) yesterday, there was an expectation of learning something new and exciting about the uses of Facebook as a means of building a business, evangelizing a movement or business or brand (in LA all of that means preaching to others about yourself) and how Facebook now is going to help application developers make money on its platform.......

Last Saturday Ford and "Band from TV" partnered together in Downtown LA to launch the Ford Flex with a charity scavenger hunt through that roamed throughout Los Angeles, raising money for various charities. Basically the event challenged each team to use the interactive technologies of the new vehicle - Ford brands the Flex as a vehicle for "urban adventures" so it seems the scavenger hunt was created to showcase exactly that. Too bad one of......

Anyone under the age of 35 these days has a tendency to switch phones, well, as soon as the newest, coolest gadget comes out - which these days can be every couple of months or so. It appears that the slider Helio Mysto is one gadget you might want to keep around for a while. Consider the fact that this thing has GPS with turn by turn voiced navigation to help guide you while......

Yep, I said it. Ketchup. Now, you, like LAist's editor, might be asking, what does Ketchup have to do with hipsters, doesn't it attract the trendy set? It is owned by the Dolce Group right? Well you would think the place would be packed with that little subgroup of hipsters called trendsters - you know, actors, musicians, those prettier, a lot cleaner and label conscious hipsters out there. Say what you will (and I know......

Is the word Hipster even allowed to be used anymore without disdain dripping from the user's tongue? Is it outdated? What about the connotation - good, bad, both? The Anti-Hipster's Guide to LA is a listing of people, bars/clubs, musicians/DJs, artists, installation, etc etc that may be deemed hipster-centric but don't really carry the negative connotation of the word (meaning pretentious, inaccessible, you get my drift) If you haven't seen her bouncing around a club......

I first interviewed the guys almost a year ago for another online publication and we decided to sit down again, have a chat and see what had happened with and to them as Current's go to guys. The boys are blowing up. Last year they won and Emmy, this year they landed a spot in the pages of Interview Magazine and an advertorial spread in L'Uomo Vogue. That's right people, Current TV does high......

Can I just say that after giving up TV, I have had a bitch of a time trying to find Family Guy and Sex and the City episodes (which I have recently gotten re-addicted to over the Christmas holiday) online. I found a solution (and something else to get addicted to) – OVGuide.com. OVG is now on my Firefox toolbar – and that's a big deal to me, though maybe not you because you......

So we heard that at 12:00 a.m. EST, 9:00 p.m. PST (or LA time for those of us who could give a crap about the rest of the West Coast) tonight, those sexy boys at Current TV, Max Lugavere and Jason Silva, will be hosting the exclusive (yes, exclusive) US broadcast of Radiohead playing In Rainbows. In its entirety. Sexy, exclusive, entirety. After the broadcast, M and J will be hosting a very special Best......

Not sure if you remember, about two years ago, about the young fellow who had this internet phenomenon in early 2006 by the name of Myspace: The Movie. Well, his name is Dave Lehre and since then, I've been seeing him everywhere – Esquire, Myspace (obviously), YouTube, 20/20, New York Times. His YouTube channel has over 4500 subscribers and he just directed a video for Pittsburg Slim. There have been many who have chased......

So at first this was going to be a whole “Chronicle in the Life of a Hollywood Hipster” type of deal. But let's face it. I'm not a hipster, I am hip (in the non-sarcastic, semi-sincere sense), but definitely not a Hollywood Hipster. I hate Hollywood hipsters. Even more than that, I hate Silverlake/Los Feliz hipsters. You know them, they take themselves way too seriously with their severe haircuts and super tight pants. Bastards. Anywho,......

Man arrested for stealing 26 cars so that he could go see his girlfriend. He'd steal them in Inglewood, vist her in Santa Barbara, and then stole another one to get back home in LA. That is love. Girl you better keep him... or I guess wait for him until he gets out. - AP Villaraigosa Q & A with US News and World Report - US News Joey Buttafuoco released from LA County......

Illinois teens arrested in Hollywood Hills fire A wildfire that authorities say was ignited by two teenagers tore through the brush-covered hills surrounding the famous Hollywood sign Friday, putting a scare into the city but doing little damage other than coating the area in a thick blanket of smoke.
