  • 17-year-old actor Daniel Radcliffe has been stirring a media frenzy by participating in a nude photo shoot to promote his role in the London revival play "Equus". Radcliffe is most known for his breakout role as the main character of the Harry Potter series of films. The Tony award-winning play tells the story of a stable-hand who has an erotic obsession with horses and a psychiatrist who deals with treating him. In the photos,...
  • Lamar: "It's about time that KCAL started broadcasting us in HD." Kobe: "Yeah? It's about time your fuckin knee healed. How 'bout that?" The Lakers are #2 in the Pacific Division with a .643 record and have a .636 record in games broadcast in High Definition. Pretty good, since the games are only broadcast in high def when they play top teams... until now. Starting February 2nd, all Laker away games on KCAL 9...
  • LAist has been a subscriber to Netflix and until today, Blockbuster Online Total Access. Today we were canceling our subscription to Blockbuster Online and it prompted the question, "Why are you canceling today?" Since we were only able to give them a 255 character answer, we decided to write a post here to fully explain why they fall short of being a good service. First, we never received the movies we wanted from the...
  • Wanna' know what's hot and fresh on our playlists? Look no further. Here's the 411 on what your favorite LA-centric blog is listening to. Whether it's sick and twisted or straight up embarrassing to mention -- it's all here: Lisa, Music Editor: The new Shins - Wincing the Night Away, the new Of Montreal record, Talking Heads - 77, Lily Allen, Randy Newman good old boys, Velvet Underground Loaded, and a mix my friend...
  • It was roughly 2 months ago when Mostafa Tabatabainejad was repeatedly hit with a Taser gun after failing to initially comply with UCPD officers in an on-campus library. He is suing UCLA, UCPD, as well as the officers involved in the incident. The suits allege that the officers used excessive force, illegally used their Taser equipment, and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act -- Tabatabainejad's lawyers claim that the officers were informed and therefore...
  • It was a tough afternoon in San Diego as the Chargers watched their lead dissipate late in the fourth quarter to a relentless Patriot offense. The Chargers opened up the fourth quarter with a second touchdown from LaDainian Tomlinson, putting them up 21-13. It looked bleak for New England as they trailed by 8 points with 5 minutes to go. With 41 yards to go, Brady threw a short pass that was intercepted by McRee....
  • It was just 18 years ago when snow miraculously blanketed the city of Santa Clarita but history could repeat itself tonight. A combination of two cold fronts could bring snow to the SCV early tomorrow morning, even possibly closing part of the I-5 down. The expected low will be in the mid-20's, while rising back to a low of 40 degrees on Saturday. Photo by Perfecto Insecto via Flickr...
  • If you're a hooligan comme moi, you frequently find yourself situated in the pavilion seats at Dodger games. The greater powers that be decided that although the right-field pavilion is already a madhouse of drunken debauchery, it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw all-you-can-eat Dodger Dogs in with the cost of admission. Free peanuts and soda to boot? Damn. But calm down for a second sports fans, beer will not be comped --...
  • In a stunning victory, bouncing back from their previous night's loss, the Ducks managed to defeat the Bruins last night 68-66. This takes UCLA out of their undefeated season. With UCLA down, Darren Collison nailed a crucial 3-pointer to tie the game at 66. Aaron Brooks then nailed a jumper to give Oregon a 2 point lead over the Bruins. UCLA came back trying to fight the clock but ultimately could not penetrate. Josh...
  • This is LAist's mutherfuckin' Snakes on a Plane review. This should have happened months ago, but like every other person we neglected to cough up the bucks at the box office and opted instead to wait for its DVD release. To make the case for SOAP, it doesn't live up to the internet hype but it does however manage to pull off death by snakebite to the penis quite gracefully. The sickeningly twisted snake...
