Lede of the week: Imagine if Peter Pan had been a fucked-up teenage vagrant with a permanent hard-on, Wendy had been a cum-drenched junkie living in Brooklyn and Captain Hook had looked something like Mickey Rourke - you’d think to yourself, “I bet Larry Clark had something to do with this”. - LA Weekly's Style Council Stoke of the week: "While no one would ever confuse Paris Hilton with Mother Teresa, a homeless man......

LAist likes Matt Dillon. "My Bodyguard", "Drugstore Cowboy", even "Crash" were decent films where Dillon played that tough guy with a heart. But Matt Dillon isn't Charles Bukowski. Bukowski was ugly and bloated and got laid in spite of his looks, not because of them. That's why a fucked up Mickey Rourke played a passable Chinaski in the stinker called "Barfly". Ironic because now would be the perfect time for Rourke to play the......

LAist and our friends at New Line and Fandango would like to send you and a friend to see the new film Domino which opens this Friday and stars Kiera Knightly (and Mickey Rourke and Brian Austin Greene and Ian Ziering!). In addition, the lucky winner will also receive a Domino prize pack, featuring a silver White Trash Charms necklace with a special Domino charm, t-shirts, shot glasses, a keychain and a poster from......

Speaking of Sin City, we weren't invited to last night's premiere of the film at Mann National in Westwood but, by the look of things, all the rest of Hollywood was. Every time we find something about the flick, we're surprised by another actor or actress being in the movie that we didn't previously know about. The premiere revealed Carla Gugino is in the film. She plays Lucille. This is very exciting. We're still......

LAist once saw someone do a karaoke rendition of Cheap Trick's "Surrender" that involved a blow-up guitar; particularly considering that the act took place in a coffee house, it was an impressive show. LAist is willing to concede, however, that tonight's actual Cheap Trick show at the Canyon Club will probably top it. Doors open at 6:00 PM for dinner reservations; the show starts at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $42.50. In film, the Silver......
