Did anyone really think that Jay-Z was going to stay retired? All his records were multi-platinum, his girlfriend is multi-platinum, hell, bro burped the other day and it went gold. Last year he put the rocking chair back in the garage, and now he's back and teaming up with the NBA talking about his "truths". Tonight's Midnight Movie is directed by Spike Lee in the back of a limo as the Jigga man waxes......

Six Degrees doesn't start at 10:00 pm. It starts at 10:01 pm. Ohhhh, but LA Times says 10:02 pm. Now that's true drama. Does it really matter?

He could have put a Michael Moore hit piece on FEMA and the President and also thrown the New Orleans Mayor and Louisiana Governor under the bus.

This LAist contributor would watch a BMW ad if it promised Clive Owen, so we happily handed over the $ to see Inside Man yesterday without complaint. Plus Denzel Washington? Crime thriller — whatever. We know a chick flick when we see one. We kid. It is a crime thriller, and director Spike Lee knocks it out of the park. Everything moves along at a good clip, and it's got some nice twists and......

Orange County's Movieland Wax Museum is, eh, liquidating its inventory. Marilyn, Arnie, Michael J. Fox and the Little Rascals could all be yours at the March 11 auction. A lot of these figures were obviously made a while ago: Michael Jackson is brown. Stars start at $500; extras $100. You could almost get a live extra to stand around for that, although you'd have to buy him lunch. Spike Lee came to town to speak......

This week's installment of Good Grove/Bad Grove was going to focus on the impact the Grove shopping complex at Fairfax and Third has had on other local businesses, and as it turns out, our timing couldn't be more apt. As anyone who attempted to see the exclusive L.A. engagement of She Hate Me this week (anyone?) discovered this past Sunday, the struggling AMC Beverly Connection cinemas breathed their last breath and, without any warning,......
