Sherman Oaks Porn Candy
Too often one walks into Ralph's Grocery in Sherman Oaks store at 1 or 2 am to find porn stars shopping.
- andPOP reports that Body & Soul Tattoo at Ventura Blvd./Van Nuys Blvd. "has been inundated with new customers since the pop star's impromptu visit." The local Business Improvement District (BID) and Chamber of Commerce owe Britney Spears a thank-you letter.
- Daily News thinks celebrities feel comfortable flipping out in the Valley. Interesting observations, but not really true -- they're just more fun out here.
- However, we have noticed an increase in celeb spottings [margarita drunk fests] at Casa Vega at Ventura Blvd/Fulton Ave. While it has always been a spot to see them, we're seeing them more often in the tabloid blogs, etc (most recently, George Clooney and Reese Witherspoon).
- Another good place for Sherman Oaks celeb gawking... Max, which Esquire Magazine recently named as one of the top 30 restaurants in the country.
- Never mind calling this part of Los Angeles The S'oaks because it's bound to happen anytime now: some clever porn director will make all the Notre Dame High School boys' locker rooms jokes come to fruition with the wide release of Spermin' Oaks.
