Angelina Jolie Drops By The Eagle Rock Target For Hot Dogs, Leaves Disappointed

So you're Angelina Jolie and your daughters want hot dogs. Do you go to the Fountain Coffee Room at the Beverly Hills Hotel for a $20 Maison Hot Dog? No. How about a classic dog from Pink's on La Brea? Nope. Maybe you go to Oki-dog for a chili cheese dog. Still no.
You go to the Target in Eagle Rock.
As Page Six reports, Jolie took her daughters Shiloh and Vivienne to the location on Saturday to grab some hot dogs, but left when they were told the location didn't serve any. “The kids were disappointed, so they all left,” an unnamed source told the paper.
Besides the Eagle Rock location's smaller size and mellow vibes (stop by the West Hollywood Target for a stark comparison), Jolie recently bought the former Cecil B. DeMille estate in nearby Los Feliz, which may help explain her decision to visit the specific location.
Support for LAist comes from
LAist called the Target to confirm the visit, but was told that no one at the big box store could confirm or comment on the report.
Next time Ms. Jolie and kin are in Eagle Rock looking for hot dogs, may we suggest Dog Haus or even The Slaw Dogs in Pasadena.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
