The identity of one driver caught in the horrific fire on the I-5 Friday night might now be identified by the last call he made. Reports surfaced that the fire in the tunnel was so hot, the concrete began to melt. But, things are going smoothly today, officials said. Or as smoothly as rush hour on the I-5 can be. A cockfighting raid in San Diego over the weekend netted 4,400 birds at a......

Sex is something that drives us, empowers us and gets us into really stupid situations with people we have no business seeing naked. Jen Sincero is the bestselling author and sexpert with the carnal knowledge you need. Ask her your questions (all are posted anonymously). Cuz there's no such thing as being too good in bed. Dear Jen, I've been in a relationship with a man 11 years my senior for the better half......

We've been bombarded with ill-conceived, soulless and zombie-like statements out of Washington over the past 24 hours. None more insulting and ridiculous than an unnamed Defense official comparing Baghdad to L.A.:"You do it neighborhood by neighborhood," said the Defense official. "Think of L.A. Let's say we take West Hollywood and gate it off. Or Anaheim. Or central Los Angeles. You control that area first and work out from there." Who is and how can an......

The 93rd Rose Bowl kicks off just after 2pm on Monday, and anybody with tickets (or hope of scalping them) had better be prepared for more than just traffic. It's bad enough that almost 100,000 people will attempt to cram into a small area, but additional street closures and crowds from one of the world's most famous parades creates a formula for disaster. When USC and UCLA played on December 2, Pasadena Police blocked......

Tod Brilliant is a self-made eco-celebrity and decided his top 10 list to share with LAist readers would be about the most critical websites that will help you learn to save our massively fucked planet. Now in his words: Surely you’ve heard of me, seen my billboards, listened to my interviews. I’m grateful to LAist for giving me yet another venue to promote my mission. My apologies if I’m approaching overexposed status. My team......

One of my favorite technocratic pastimes is cruising the iTunes store and finding new bands by the "Listeners Also Bought" feature. Joining forces with LAist last year brought me new avenues to discovering music and I am always excited to share my zeal for something. And in no specific order... 1. Nearer Than Heaven by The Delays I discovered these guys on one of the best shows on INHD called London Live. 2. Plan......

We'll confess, Studio City's Asanebo was not our Plan A for sushi eating. Our visit to this small, strip-mall sushi spot located in the middle of the Valley's boulevard of sushi bars happened on the fly, a Plan B that was put into action when Plan A failed miserably. What was Plan A, you might ask? Well, we'd been plotting a trip to Hollywood's Sushi Ike for ages, only to discover that they'd opted......

You'd think Los Angeles, city of sin, would be able to lay claim to some of the greatest adult-entertainment sites in all of the world. But if you thought that, you'd probably be wrong. Being over the age of 18 (combined ages, not solely the age of this contributor), LAist felt it was time to "take one for the team" and get to the bottom of which strip clubs in Los Angeles were worth......
