Photo by Nancy Updike (This American Life) C'mon, admit it...you've got a serious crush on Ira Glass of This American Life. Maybe it's an intellectual bromance, maybe it's a schoolgirl geek chic sweet-on-you kind of thing. You know it's the voice (who else can say "From Chicago Public Radio, this is..." and make you grin?) but how about in the flesh? Well, we can't guarantee you just how close to the flesh you'll get,...

Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox Avatar continued its inevitable crawl towards history, taking in a robust $36M ($552M) to pass The Dark Knight in domestic receipts and Titanic on the international front. By next Monday, it should be the all-time box-office champ (not accounting for inflation, of course, in which case Gone With The Wind would be the easy winner and Avatar would be a mere 26th). The awful Legion had a respectable...

Kathy Griffin's latest DVD D-lister Kathy Griffin recently released her sixth Bravo stand-up special She’ll Cut a Bitch to coincide with a winter tour. The 60-minute DVD, from a show that originally aired last April, includes stories from last year’s Grammys--where she proves she’s definitely not a Jonas Brothers fan--and an Emmy moment(s) with the taciturn James Gandolfini. FIlmed in Portland, the audience is your typical Griffin crowd dominated by gay men, women and...

A view from the top of Sandstone Peak in the Santa Monica Mountains (more photos here) | Photo by Zach Behrens/LAist Relevancy makes for the best kind of blog post. And that concept is not lost on Modern Hiker's Casey Schreiner, who today gives us L.A.'s Best Post-Rain Hikes. That's because the best time to hike is after a winter storm, he says. "The rain has a lot of effects on SoCal trails. Obviously,...

With international acclaim celebrating its "raw" and "brilliant" mix of hip hop and contemporary dance (quotes from London's The Guardian), the company will perform H3 here in the City of Angels. Against a quiet...
