We've seen our fair share of aggressive behavior while taking the Red Line, but this video, taken between Hollywood and Highland and Universal City, is pretty disgusting.

Earlier today, we told you about the Gibbon Research Center up in Santa Clarita (they're having a vegan breakfast fundraiser on Sunday morning) where every morning, they sing--it's a territorial thing. On a recent visit to the center, we were very lucky to hear them for about 20 minutes and got a little of it on video.

It rains and all of the sudden there are crashes everywhere. In fact, there were 186 between midnight and earlier this morning.

It's not surprising but Orange County Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Yorba Linda) this afternoon announced his resignation, according to KNX1070 on Twitter. "I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly," he said in a statement.

Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work." Last night, KCAL9 aired a report on a leaked video of him talking about a tryst with at least two women, one of whom that is suspected to be a lobbyist that deals with his committee assignment.

...however, this clip from The Donald's appearance on last night's Letterman may give you insight into how Trump and Letterman feel about the issue of same-sex marriage. In discussing the beauty pageants run by the Trump empire, the name Carrie Prejean--the ousted Miss California USA who took heat for her response to Perez Hilton's question about marriage--inevitably came up (1:15 in the clip). Explains Defamer of the awkward moment:

Trump offered his admirable but weak defense of her for being a dolt, prompting Letterman to jump in with an "anybody who wants to get married ought to be able to get married" comment. The studio audience then went nuts while Trump sat silent, all alone in the world for a few seconds with only a banana-yellow tie and a big, garish head as his friends.

Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood visited Los Angeles last week and took a tour of the Gold Line Eastside Extension, which is expected to open soon (no date had been announced, though). The line will run between Union Station and East LA. "This whole rail line is way ahead what we are talking about in Washington," exclaimed LaHood. "This is what we mean by livable communities. You build it and they will come."

I think we all learned that the United States is a melting pot of people and cultures and that it began that way and continues in that direction, in spite of recent immigration hassles. Award winning choreographer/director Keith Glassman has taken off from that fact and created Far From Home, a multimedia, interdisciplinary evening length piece he will premiere this weekend at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica (June 26-27).

Here's that baby gray whale we mentioned earlier this week. He's been hanging out in Marina Del Rey, showing off bits of his 20-foot long body when he surfaces, creating quite a spectacle for locals and tourists.

We first threw this brand new Whispertown 2000 video out there as a bonus to our twitter followers--an exclusive if you must apply a label. But the song and video are to good to not share with the rest of you. Props go out to the local band's singer/songwriter Morgan Nagler, and the video's animator: Morgan's brother.

Oh, please...like we'd actually have (and show) the real video of Whittier's Nadya Suleman, aka OctoMom, giving birth to her eight babies. But she is looking for a buyer for her labor room video (hey, girl's gotta eat...and feed her 14 children) for the tidy sum of $1 million. Since they don't have the real thing (phew!) Jimmy Kimmel instead offers his version of Suleman's delivery in this quick and silly clip.
