While gathering information for our weekly book event listings, LAist couldn’t help but notice the title of Suze Orman’s new book, which she’ll discuss on Friday night at Vroman’s in Pasadena: Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny. The heart of Orman’s sage advice for women is “Get your own account in your own name.” She has even made arrangements with Ameritrade to give every woman $100 if they make 12 consecutive monthly deposits into their new savings account.

- Mayor and Police Chief booed this morning at a multi-million dollar groundbreaking - Daily News - Girls Gone Wild's Joe Francis gets 200 hours of community service over 2 years and must pay a half million in fines for creative bookkeeping and quasi kiddie porn since he admitted to filming underage girls getting naked.

We think Morningwood's "Nth Degree" is a catchy song and we love the lead singer Chantal's attitude. Did you see her on Letterman? Man!

So LAist (ok, this poster in particular) likes American Idol. We’ve been watching closely this season because we actually like some of the singers. They’re kinda good (except that Bucky guy who really has to go tonight). Now, will we ever buy a record? Probably not, but for mindless entertainment in the background while cooking dinner, it’s the best damn thing on TV.

So LAist caught V for Vendetta this weekend at the Pacific Theaters in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, and we were pleasantly surprised by the popcorn flick. What we didn't like was the ending. No, it wasn't the thousands of Guys marching toward revolution so much, but it was the sound. The volume was cranked up loudly during the Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture-fireworks scene at the end that many audience members were forced to stick their fingers in their ears.

With six of the Dodgers final 10 games against the Giants, these next two weeks are extremely crucial. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, September has been cruel month since 1990. Few people realize just how poorly the Dodgers have faired down the stretch in recent years.

The utter unpredictability (and potentially huge impact area of tremors) heightens the fear factor. Until now. So LAist doesn�t know which is worse�knowing credible evidence that one be on the way, or complete blissful ignorance.

With the Lakers desperate for a big man, Vlade Divac told ESPN.com's Marc Stein that he would like to rejoin the Lakers.
