Trying to keep it light today people... HBOs 'Entourage' makes Los Angeles a character While "Entourage" is a show about four close buddies, the HBO series gets much of its charm from what is arguably the group's fifth member: the city of Los Angeles. El Lay's status at the center of the U.S. entertainment industry means lots of shows nominally take place here. But few — if any — shows approach the city with......

After all the hubbub about a little porn in the backyard on Easter Sunday, will there be any outrage over "reality porn" in the sex shop? We won't link to Midnight Prowl (it's awfully NSFW) but Fleshbot (pretty NSFW in it's own right) points us towards it and notes that by the looks of things in the trailers and photos, this pornographic romp through some of LA's many adult video and toy shops seems......

Listen to this little tale about these five chicks (above) and their crazy Saturday night out. They're ready to rock'n'roll, so they head out to the swankiest club Tinseltown has to offer, you know, that hotspot with the revolving dance floor (below). They drink. They dance. They sweat. They get funky: We mean really funky: One of them wakes up Sunday morning with a really bad hangover and says, "I feel like poop. Like......

This time they're calling it the Nightmares of Bunker Hill; it will tour downtown LA and tell tales, we're guessing, of nefarious activities on and around the Bunker Hill of yesteryear. Most of Bunker Hill was covered by grand old houses that got chopped up into......

LAist got out of the house today and attended the 75th La Benedicion de los Animales/Blessing of the Animals at Olvera Street. An annual event held on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, this year attracted a large crowd. Since unexpected (and expensive) dental surgery sidelined our feline companion, we didn't participate in this year's procession and blessing. Instead, we stood on the sidelines and took pictures. However, we found a canine correspondent, and LA......
