A few years ago, a Palos Verdes Peninsula High alumnae was less than enthused about showing up to her 10-year reunion. Luckily, the comedic side of her thought up a little prank in which she would send a doppelgänger from Jumbo's Clown Room to play the role of the former drama geek, Andrea Wachner.

When it comes to crotch identification, no one works harder than LAist. Last week one of our favorite LA blogs, Defamer, ran the underwear photo above (and to the right), accompanied with a story about a movie and blah blah blah. But the mystery remained: Who's Crotch is That?" Happily, our tireless hours of up-close interviews and in-your-face journalism have not been for naught. Thanks to an amazingly reliable source close to the project,... more ›

Last week an Orange County jury saved a former cop from a 10 year prison sentence when they said that although David Alex Park's semen was found on the sweater of a woman he pulled over soon after leaving her job at a gentleman's club, that the sex was consensual, because, as the defense attorney told the jury, "she got what she wanted, she’s an overtly sexual person."

We try to probe our impacted pop culture memories of the recent... more ›
