Lindsay Lohan everyone's favorite drunken, road-raging, coke-head, Hollywood-washup starlet bet's $50K that she will sleep with David Beckham by December when Posh hits the Spice Girls Tour. Sure Linds, why not? Of course it might be hard to sneak him into a jail cell, considering her recent DUI arrest is a sure sign that is where she will be headed. Look Lindsay, you cock-eyed slag. Just because Becks and Posh are nutty enough to...

Starting tomorrow, lots of folks are going to be rushing area theaters to check out the latest Quentin Tarantino+Robert Rodriguez splatterfest, Grindhouse. And yes, Los Angeles has definitely gone grindhouse crazy in general. But before running off to The Grove, consider a truly authentic alternative. We think the best way to see the Tarantino/Rodriguez homage to 1970s and 1980s schlock cinema is by heading to an equally entertaining relic of a bygone era; the...

Current Record: 29-30, 3rd Pacific, T-7th West Last Week: If LAist didn’t know any better, we would have assumed the latest rash of injuries to hit sports stars across LA was just another insidious terrorist plot hatched up on 24, given the number of attacks our fair city has received over the years on the show. We saw Becks go down before even getting to LA. We saw Lamar Odom getting injured again and joining...

We're sorry, tomdog, that you missed the first ten minutes of the Grammys, because that's when Stewart Copeland was on stage. As millions of people saw last night, The Police got back together to open the big award show at the basketball arena. If LAist ran the world we wouldn't have allowed Sting to ruin those first few moments at the Grammys to announce the band was coming back, or introduce themselves. Everyone knows...

If LAist has been learning anything from hitting up all these various sushi joints, it's that there is defninitely a core list of menu items. So we've started to look for the things that stand out, such as special cuts of nigiri sushi or sashimi, or rolls that deviate from the California topped with something norm. Ahi definitely has a couple of bright spots; their rolls have unique ingredients, like Lemon Jalapeno Sauce, Chilean Sea Bass, or Tempura Jalapeno. We zeroed in on the Sashimi Roll, which is Blue Crab wrapped in tuna sashimi, then wrapped in thin slices of cucumber, and drizzled in a creamy sauce. We're always bemoaning all the filling rice that gets loaded into rolls--this one is rice-free, and a refreshing break from the standard. The sushi cuts are generous, and hang far over their tiny mound of rice. The chef suggested we try the Spanish Mackrel, which comes dusted in salt and lemon, and now we're hooked on the fish. At the end of the meal he presented us with a cubed wedge of fresh mango, which left our already happy taste buds feeling fresh and sweetened. Ahi Sushi is not as raucous or wild as some other sushi spots, and the menu is compact but has a few great gems at reasonable prices. And, one thing we did make note of, Anna Nicole apparently loves it there--her picture is up twice behind the sushi bar. We'll forgive them that, because their sushi was great, and the chef friendly and full of suggestions. And so the sushi search continues...

If LAist was still in high school, we'd probably be faking sick, playing hooky or attempting to convince our parents to reconsider their aversion to home schooling this week. It is not a good week to be a teen in Los Angeles. In our best local newscaster hyperbole: No Place is Safe! We know that Jefferson High School and Santa Monica High School had huge brawls last week (Jefferson fighting continued on Monday) but we didn't know the streets weren't safe either. On Monday, Two Panorama City teens were shot on Terra Bella Street. One of them died.

Earlier this month, LAist brought you the story of Cynthia -- the proprieter and potty-mouthed owner of Cynthia's on 3rd.

Had enough of Oprah? Sick of Maury? Wish that you knew exactly what kind of medical degree that Dr. Phil guy actually has? Well fret no more fellow Angelenos. Our humble little town is about to be blessed by the presence of greatness. That’s right: "The View" is coming to L.A.! (Insert happy TV Theme music here)
