A teacher in the city of Rolling Hills Estates has been arrested on charges of having sex with an underage girl, reports KTLA. Anthony Angellano, 31, faces charges for oral copulation and digital penetration with a minor. The girl was reportedly 16 and 17 years old when the incidents occurred, and while she was a student at Peninsula High at the time, the encounters allegedly took place at Angellano's house in Wilmington.

A two-month-old baby suffocated and died after allegedly being left alone the night before Halloween, reports NBC Los Angeles. Corrina Atuatasi, 27, was watching her infant son on October 30 while her husband and two-year-old daughter were away visiting family.

The housewives dialed it down a bit this week in anticipation of what looks like another epic battle next week, and also, out of a humble, quiet respect for shoes. The episode opens as a scattered Lisa wanders home just in time to help Pandora with her wedding planning. Pandie - who we’ll all recall was once described as something along the lines of tasteful and classy - has selected invitations for her wedding, she tells Lisa, and they will cost a very tactful total of $15,000.

Actress and comedian Olivia Munn recently took to the Huffington Post to decry the terrible treatment of animals at Ringling Bros. circus. She told the story of Sarah, a sick 54-year-old elephant who collapsed over the summer, but was forced to get back up and board a train rather than receiving medical care.

Violence against sex workers doesn't exactly get the attention from law enforcement that it deserves. And because of stigma, zoning laws and lack of legal protection, both women and men involved in the business of sex face unnecessary risks in their daily lives. Because of all this, the local chapter of sex work advocacy group Sex Workers Outreach Project is holding an event on Saturday, December 17

Many of us who watched the 2011 Academy Awards found the hosts to be somewhat...underwhelming. James Franco appeared stoned and practically asleep next to hyper, overzealous Anne Hathaway. Since then, the two have been getting panned right and left for their odd and ultimately not very compelling performance, but one man is speaking truth to power about the whole incident.

The feud between drivers and cyclists runs deep in Los Angeles. Now, a local cycling advocate is asking the city to set up more license checkpoints for drivers. Alex de Cordoba was riding his bike in Echo Park when, he says in a Huffington Post column, he was "nearly killed by a hit and run driver." A week later, while driving to work, he noticed a checkpoint for unlicensed drivers -- and a man holding a sign to alert fellow car enthusiasts.

UCLA announced today that they have fired their head football coach, Rick Neuheisel -- or, in PR parlance, Neuheisel has been "relieved of his duties." The firing comes on the heels of UCLA's brutal 50-0 loss to USC over the weekend.

There are few episodes of reality television that will ever rival last week’s epic tea party showdown in terms of drama and tension, so this week was all about the calm after the storm. When last we left the ladies, Lisa’s tea party, such as it was, was still in full, painstaking swing. Camille had made her point about Taylor’s abusive marriage and hightailed it out of there, and the rest of the ladies were left to deal with the fallout.

Kim Kardashian hasn't been garnering too much favor in the eyes of the nation lately. After force-feeding us her gaudy, overstuffed nuptials, she then filed for divorce just 72 days later, prompting an online petition asking E! to rid their network of the Kardashian family altogether.

It's not exactly news that Hollywood doesn't offer up equal treatment of men and women. For every hulking male that crashes through a plate glass window to save the day, there's at least one scantily-clad woman whose primary function is to seduce/be seduced/smile and look pretty. But now, for the skeptics in the room who would argue that equal treatment is in the eye of the beholder, we have some numbers...
