Fear not, fans of Posh and Becks, the high-profile pair are not going to be packing up and heading out of our fair city, as rumors have been circulating. While Los Angeles Galaxy's star midfielder has been passing the ball as part of some MLS off-season training of late, he has not been in talks with the Newcastle United team about a possible signing. The UK's SkySports reports that Beckham "played under [Newcastle's new manager......

My asshole has been clenched in anticipation since October 18, 2006 for the fourth season of the Bravo hit show Project Runway. On that Wednesday evening, I was at a Project Runway finale viewing party my friend threw at her apartment in West LA watching local designer and Cosa Nostra founder Jeffrey Sebelia win the whole kit and caboodle. Starting tomorrow there will be 15 brand new contestants vying for: An editorial feature in......

Remember when you were a very little kid and someone else was in charge of getting you to eat? They'd sit immediately in front of you within arms' reach, and scoop up a manageable bite of whatever was on the bland and pureed menu and aim it at your mouth, and when it was perhaps a tougher task to get you to open wide and chew and swallow the spoon became a space ship or......

We need more movies like The Nines. While it may only make complete sense to its creator, John August, there's enough in it to puzzle and delight that I recommend it without reservation. It raises and (sort of) answers questions about the nature of existence, the multiplicity of universes and the role of a Creator in both. It features one of the best performances of the year by--of all people--Ryan Reynolds and heralds the......

I had been looking forward to settling in on my comfy couch in some comfy only-wear-around-the-house clothes with some snack foods and my television-watching co-conspirator to watch the season finale of Fox's Hell's Kitchen for a couple of weeks now. I say "couple" of weeks because those programming devils split the finale into two parts and unecessarily stretched the drama over two of my Monday nights for an hour apiece. But instead of seeing......

The folks over at the World of Wonder (WoW) production company never cease to amaze LAist with their entertaining documentaries. Anyone paid to probe the minds of Tammy Faye Bakker, Linda Lovelace or showbiz parents at the bidding of WOW principals and directors, Fenton Bailey & Randy Barbato, must be super-fascinating in their own right. At least, that's what we told ourselves when we selected WOW employees, Steven Corfe and Moye Ishimoto, as two of......

While not always on the top of our Tivo to do list, David E. Kelly has come up with some pretty good televsion shows over the years. "Ally Mc Beal", "The Practice" and "Boston Legal" were all solid, if somewhat overly-dramtic tv that served to cement his popularity and his reputation for quality programming. What does a man like this do for an encore? Why get into reality television, of course. Following the "if......

Reality TV has been such a popular discussion topic of late on LAist comment boards, and in the culture at-large, that it behooved us, as typical jaded Angelenos, to get the straight dope on the "reality" of un-scripted television. Therefore, Morgan Fahey, a reality-TV insider, is the subject of today's LAist Interview. We've posed 20 Questions to this behind-the-scenes professional who’s partially responsible for selecting fresh, mostly young faces to star in reality shows.......

Can you imagine if the host of the Grammys used his monologue to gripe about the popularity of rap music and how it was crowding the kind of music he liked off the charts? Or what if the host of the Oscars blurted out, "You know what? Sound effects editing is for hacks!" Well, what Garry Shandling did to reality television as the host of the Emmys last night was no different. Like it......
