Idol-heads and Runway-heads have a lot to celebrate tonight and I'll be damned, look at how busy the schedule is in the 10:00-11:00pm time frame. Since I don't think any of the options are fantastic is it better to have a little or a lot of mediocrity to choose from? more ›

Pop the pink champagne and slip on that tiara to help welcome the arrival of 2008's first celebrity socialte and rock star spawn, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, who came into the world at the nicest hospital money can buy, aka Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, today. more ›

Watching Nip/Tuck has always been a dirty and guilty pleasure. Season five of the show returns tonight on FX and McNamara/Troy are moving the business to our own Los Angeles (as if you haven't been pummeled incessantly by the promos for the last month, and particularly during the World Series). The overpromotion irritates me a bit because it can set up what has been a pretty good show for a fall. Since Nip/Tuck has always... more ›

Did you know you can still get tickets for Monday night's Rilo Kiley show at the Santa Monica Civic? Do you know why you can still get tickets for the show? Because it's in Santa Monica. And when the people of Santa Monica aren't trying to destroy old trees and houses, they're looking for things to do Other than see great rock shows. Let's think of things they do on the Westside other than... more ›

A Word or 47: Full disclosure - tonight I might watch the cultural trainwreck that is Idol and then it's on to Lost and then an evening culminating with LCD Soundsystem on Letterman, they will kick ass!

We give a cross-country thanks to our pal Spencer over at Goldenfiddle who clued us in on the disastrously uninspired performance by Hilary Duff on Leno this week. But we will have to politely disagree with him when he said, "Honestly, we weren’t aware they still let people lip synch this piss horrible on TV. Well, besides J.Lo… who Duff is starting to look like." We take offense in comparing Ms. Duff with Mrs.... more ›

Not likely. At least not at tomorrow's NFL Kickoff Event. Based on his press conference yesterday, it looks like Kanye isn't even allowed to mention Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath in any context when he performs or promotes the concert. Who's to say what he'll do on his $2 Bill show or the weekend's relief benefit airing across the cable music channels. That doesn't mean it'll be a bad show though and the entire NFL Kickoff concert is free to the public. All you have to do is get to the Memorial Colisseum by 2:30 tomorrow (the NFL recommends the Metro) and you should get a seat for the show which also includes Rihanna (whose Pon de Replay is the dance song of the summer), Good Charlotte and Maroon 5 at the home of the NFL's first Super Bowl. more ›
