Family, the great little bookstore on Fairfax is celebrating its one-year anniversary with a huge art show that opens tonight at 8pm and you're invited.

I know, I know, KevCheng is a food blogger, what's with the DJ spinning up there? Now, I've never been a huge "Let's go hear a DJ spin" kind of guy, so when I was invited by a friend to go to a "lounge" and listen to "House Music," I just wasn't very motivated; especially when I learned it's on Sunset where it's usually $15 just to park. $15!? That's one night at Korean...

I am not going to mention Ann Coulter's visit to LA this week or the location. To be honest, I am at a loss for words with THAT woman. I mean does someone ever anger you so much that your nose just twitches and your head shakes side-to-side like a horse swatting a fly and shivers are sent through your whole body? Yup, that pretty much sums up Ann for me. I went to...

Foothill Cities blog has done it again. They have made us turn our attention ever-Eastward and into the nutty world of local council meetings. Today's gem comes from Monrovia (fast-forward to around 12:30 into the video) where Stephen Grollneck, a man who wants to run for Mayor of Monrovia, shows up at the meeting and insults the sitting Mayor, Rob Hammond, and his Campaign Manager, Gloria Crudgington (who saw a family friend killed by...

Leah (pronounced Lay-uh) is a great blogger. Born in Canada, she's been blogging since she was 14. We wont hold it against her that she lives in Austin. With her husband. Here's Leah top ten best movies of 2006: 10. Monster House Even though this is a kids movie, I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me the heebie jeebies. 9. Hard Candy I wouldn't watch it again but it was intense...

Ten days before Halloween and so many killer shows to choose from tonight. Clearly the obvious choice for the season would be dressing up as Eddie and going to the Maiden show. Imagine that parking lot scene. Sun Ra Arkestra, Money Mark, Watts Prophets @ Arthur Nights, Palace Theatre Bob Dylan @ Long Beach Arena Iron Maiden @ Irvine Meadows Rancid @ Henry Fonda The Decemberists @ Wiltern Meshell Ndegeocello @ Temple Bar Lucinda...

New Collapse, The Matachine, Fifty on Their Heels @ The Smell

Phillyist notes a fistfight between local pols that leaves one man down for the count. Jehovah's Witnesses get a Philly contributor out of bed, things get a little geeky with a film festival and geeky gets taken to a whole new galaxy when they talk with the Dragon Queen of the Dark Kingdom.

By gum they did it — they actually made a funny movie about politics. Thank You For Smoking stars Aaron Eckhart as a tobacco lobbyist, who's so ballsy and charming you have to love him, even while you know he's entirely evil. He's what Ari Gold and Rush Limbaugh think they are — but neither holds a lighter to Eckhart's Nick Naylor.

While The Other Venice Film Festival finishes up this weekend, three local film fests hit Los Angeles. Tonight through Sunday, Perspectives International Film Festival, at Laemmle's Music Hall 3, features films that challenge stereotypes of the lives of people with developmental disabilities. The Silver Lake Film Festival, in its 6th year, begins next Thursday. Joining them at the ArcLight, will be the Fringe Fest '06 & mp-4 Fest.

So, yesterday we caught director Jason Reitman's (son of Ivan) hilarious film, Thank You For Smoking, which is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Buckley (son of William F.). Before the film rolled, Jason got up to let us know that a scene was missing from the film. Not just any scene, but a Katie Holmes sex scene. According to Jason, there was a "projection error in Los Angeles" that resulted in that scene being trimmed from the second reel.

LAist provides plenty of tips, opinions and anecdotes about life in LA designed for the public at large. But what if you're not the public at large? What if you're Lindsay Lohan? Maybe you, Lindsay, read our site and say, "How can you help me, LAist? How can I best enjoy life in this crazy city?" Well, Lindsay, your prayers have been answered. This week, we introduce our new feature, "The Lindsay Lohan Guide to LA." We promise to make it chock-full of facts, tidbits and fun, all directed at just one person in particular, the adorable, breathy-voiced, barely legal (like, yuck, did we just say that?) star of Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and the eagerly-awaited Love Bug update Herbie: Fully Loaded. We're totally super-excited about this new feature, which we really think will have a most appreciable (envy our vocab much?) effect on the quality of life in LA. So please read on and enjoy The Lindsay Lohan Guide to LA... if you're Lindsay Lohan, that is.
