With visions of sugar plum fairies dancing through their heads, the -Ists began to get into that holiday mood. Well, some did. Austinist wasn't, as the NY Times dissed them and a local Tex-Mex institution sold out. Making them feel better was music, sweet music and the local theater getting name checked on "Heroes". Chicagoist tried to wrap their heads around a religious movie being banned from a Christmas themed park. To wash that......

Although it might be tempting to stay home tonight to watch the results come in, they won't all be in until early tomorrow morning. So do yourself a favor and look at that list. Look at it. That is probably the best lineup of shows we've seen in LA all year. If you don't see a show tonight, on a beautiful night, pretty much the last day of summer, then well... good. More beer......

LAist has seen at lot of fucked up shit in our day, but this has got to be the most childish move between divorcing love birds ever. Travis Barker, the talented and tattooed drummer of Blink-182, who came off as a geniune prick on the reality show "Meet The Barkers", went on his MySpace page yesterday and described what his wife's day consists of - by hour. If we are to believe the percussionist,......

American Idol. Even when it's over, it's never really over. Silver-haired American Idol champion Taylor Hicks (the guy with the mixture of Ray Charles moves and Tourette's Syndrome), was named the No. 1 "Hottest Bachelor" by People Magazine today. Say whaaaat? The 29-year-old Hicks outranked other familiar names like Matthew McConaughey, Nick Lachey, Jake Gyllenhaal, Kenny Chesney, Jamie Foxx, Owen Wilson and even AI's host Ryan Seacrest. Another AI contestant makes it a trifecta......

Since LAist mentioned Drew Lachey’s dance move earlier this week, we thought we’d give equal time to Drew’s older brother -- and the former Mr. Jessica Simpson – Nick, who’s helping launch a safer social networking website for kids. According to a Chicago Tribune story yesterday: Actor/singer Nick Lachey was eating lunch at a Los Angeles restaurant when he heard some disturbing news. Parry Aftab, a cyber safety advocate, approached Lachey and told him......

Not that we care much about Dancing with the Stars or the fact that Drew Lachey and partner Cheryl Burke won the dance off last night, but we heard through the grapevine that ABC censors were hard at work Friday, saving the morals of the West Coast. In a nutshell: Drew and pardner did a freestyle dance to the country tune "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" -- yeah, you read that classy title......

In a town where most restaurants last about half as long as Nick Lachey’s and Jessica Simpson’s marriage, the Venice staple -- Joe’s Restaurant -- proves that its California-French menu has staying power to last at least thru the rest of Jess’ singing career -- and then some. Joe’s opened in 1991, making '06 its 15th year in the business. Along the hip Abbot Kinney Blvd., Joe's exudes the same aura: the stylishly cool,......

File this one under "not that we care that much": Though Jessica Simpson has often been dinged in the media for being well, a dingbat -- LAist can never ever look at a can of Chicken of the Sea in the same way again -- she was brilliant at image control this weekend. (Yes, we did use Jessica Simpson and "brilliant" in the same sentence.) Our favorite former newlyweds, Simpson and Nick Lachey, were......

Just because a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it doesn't mean it doesn't make a sound. Right? And here at LAist, we believe the same goes for Celebrity sightings. Just because you didn't see a Celebrity doing something, doesn't mean that they weren't doing such a thing in the first place. And so, in an effort to keep Los Angeles up to date on the things celebrities are doing without your......
