Peter Facinelli is known for a lot of things: his various roles (Touch the Top of the World, Six Feet Under, Babel, the Scorpion King, etc.); looking somewhat like Tom Cruise; being married to Jennie Garth (the lucky fellow) - but what we didn't know was that he worked hard to lose a hardcore Queens accent and that he actively courts paranoia. LAist had the chance to talk to Facinelli last week to ask him...

Last week we celebrated the 30th anniversary of KCRW's flagship show, Morning Becomes Eclectic with interviews with Jason Bentley, Chris Douridas, Nic Harcourt, Anne Litt, Liza Richardson, and we conclude our special with Gary Calamar, the host of KCRW's Sunday night staple, The Open Road. For those of you who might be watching tee vee at night instead of listening to the radio, you might not know it but you were probably listening to...

This Sunday, HBO will say goodbye to its biggest hit and hello to what could be another staple for the cable network. Following the long awaited Sopranos finale, David Milch's latest creation, John From Cincinnati, makes it debut. LAist caught up with Austin Nichols (Day After Tomorrow, Wimbledon and Glory Road) who plays the title character to get the scoop on the show. Sunday’s a big day, got any plans? Having a viewing party at...

For $45, English-language readers will now be able to subscribe to a year's worth of the magazine (11 regular issues + 1 special issue). Cahiers will also offer free online supplements.

Stomp the Yard - I'm a sucker for movies that end in dance-offs. DJ, a troubled street-dancer from Los Angeles, avoids jail by enrolling in a black college in Atlanta where two rival fraternities both want a piece of his talent, so they can win a national step show competition. Meagan Good (Brick, D.E.B.S.) plays his love interest.

t-shirt porn: In case you haven't had enough of American Apparel's Dov Charney, he's the subject of a profile in today's NY Times. They go to his pepto-pink factory, they go to his Echo Park house. We're not sure what happens after that because we just couldn't go on any further. Anybody want to tell us how it ends?

The SAG awards start with a bunch of actors telling their stories to the camera.

Those are Jill Soloway's words -- from her debut literary collection Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants -- and we couldn't agree more. It reminds us of that lame Cornell article from late summer. "Los Angeles is the color of dreams," Jill writes. If you can't get that when you land in our town, shut up and go home.

The week ended oddly for some us here at LAist (editor's note: mainly me) so we didn't get a chance to tell you about some of the other cool stuff going on this weekend. We did mention Instant Gratification which had a very successful opening last night. Much of the featured artwork was sold and they even had a Six Feet Under alum, Anne Ramsay, make her way through the deceptively large Kraft Studios.

Our three prize packs can help you with that.

We're not in love with the Curtis Mayfield Remixed album. Outside of an excellent reinterpretation of Superfly as a latin dance joint by Little Louis Vega and our love of Freddie's Dead in any form, it's simply OK. Tonight's birthday tribute to Mayfield at Little Temple, though, should be anything but just OK. DJ Jeremy Sole and KCRW's Tom Golubic (who is also the music supervisor for Six Feet Under *ahem* Contest!) should be funking you up in the main area and Rhino records is giving away a bunch of stuff (including full albums and samples of Remixed) so you can decide about this stuff for yourself. $10 at the door or email here to get up on that Dervish friends list for a discount.

We love the happenings at Fisher & Sons and we're pretty sure you do, too. The new and final (sniff!) season of Six Feet Under premieres on HBO on Monday, June 6th at 9PM. This truly is our last chance to crush on Claire Fisher and hope that David and Keith finally get it together and pray that Nate and Brenda will help each other find happiness. They broke down the sets this past week so there's no coming back.

While we are madly in love with LA, we do have a little crush on New York. So when this week’s copy of the New Yorker arrived, we were thrilled to find a piece by Dana Goodyear on LA’s own Ambassador Hotel and one of its pioneering architects, Paul R.Williams. The hotel, which closed in 1989, has been the subject of a massive financial, cultural and ethical tug-of-war between the LAUSD, who own the land and plan to raze it to build a school, and a number of preservationists, most notably LA Conservancy, who want to have the historic site saved and restored.

The LA Times Home section takes a look at the static stars of Hollywood. No — not dead or wooden, talent-less actors, but examples from the city's vast stock of residential architecture that's seen by audiences all over the planet. After all, we do live in the world's largest back lot.

It has been a massive six or seven weeks in the making via HBO's complicated episode-per-season equation. It has kept some of us on the edge of our seats while others have simply sat back wondering, Either way, HBO matriarch "Six Feet Under" ("The Sopranos" is, of course, the patriarch) and it's snotty little second-cousin twice-removed, "Entourage", wrap up this weekend in, most likely, a not-so-neat little bow.

For fans of , no thanks to the over-the-top humor of the late Paul Lynde, you may be overjoyed to know that his spirit has been revived in the new show "An Evening with Paul Lynde." Starring and co-written by Michael Airington, the musical comedy will have you questioning yourself as to whether or not the man really passed away or pulled another "Uncle Arthur" on us all. Performances are Friday and Saturday nights at Ultra Suede in West Hollywood. Tickets can be purchased at Tix.com.

In the July 18 episode, Nat is reading the paper, and says (paraphrasing), "Man that Bush just lies and lies and nobody does anything about it."

Meanwhile, Six Feet Under continued its fantastic new season with the usual - aggrieved Nate, crazy Ruth, restless Claire. But the show got all Sopranos on us when David gets carjacked and taken hostage by a maniacal thug who forces him to go on a crack run to MacArthur Park. He spares David's life as the episode ends, so we hope that the show hasn't its action bent - we'd love to see the crackhead receive some payback. Can't wait for next Sunday...

Additionally, one might imagine that Six Feet Under, proclaimed by their own website to be "The World's Premier Death Metal Band," is pretty teed off by all the billboards and buzz about the show. And maybe we've missed it, but does anyone know what neighborhood the Fisher home is supposed to be in? Los Feliz or something? First commenter to respond usefully wins the LAist No-Prize!
