Things to do
- Rebel Wilson, LiveTalks LA: Actor and comedian Rebel Wilson’s upcoming memoir, Rebel Rising, is certainly causing a stir in the entertainment world this week. The brassy Australian doesn’t hold back in her new book, talking about everything from losing her virginity at 35 to stories from the Pitch Perfect set to some quite serious sexual harassment allegations star Sacha Baron Cohen. Wilson joins former People Magazine editor-in-chief Jess Cagle for a no-holds-barred chat that’s sure to make headlines Tuesday morning.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
