  • For those of you still mourning the soon-to-be loss of the bachelor drama "Entourage," another nail has, we regret to inform you, been placed in the show's coffin. The Encino house that served as the boys' television pad has been sold, according to AOL Real Estate.
  • If you've ever wondered what it would be like to live a la Tony Micelli, now's your chance to find out: Tony Danza's Malibu house is for sale for a measly $9,100,000, reports the Real Estalker. The 3,000 square foot estate overlooks the water, and is built beneath street level for privacy, as stars are wont to...want.
  • Coyotes in the Laguna Woods area are getting bold, and more deadly than usual, reports ABC7. Coyotes often attack pets at night, or in yards. But the wild animals in the OC neighborhood have recently attacked pets on leashes, while their owners are walking them, sometimes even dragging the owner along behind.
  • Police are on the lookout for a suspect who fatally shot a retail store manager last Friday, according to the LAPD.
  • In tonight's Extra, Extra, parents are pissed at AMC, Miranda July gets a little more famous, LAUSD courts the middle class, and the "Modern Family" cast may scratch each others' backs this Emmy season. Plus: Keep up with us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter: @LAist @LAistFood @LAistSports.

  • In tonight's Extra, Extra, Whoopi Goldberg issues an apology, Arnold plays nice, a kitty in Mid-City, and where will all the Dodgers go? Plus: Keep up with us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter: @LAist @LAistFood @LAistSports.
  • Jury duty is always good for people watching, and one state courthouse may provide particularly good fodder this week, as Governor Jerry Brown is slated to make an appearance as a juror, reports NBC LA. The CA state governor has been asked, by the same kind of summons received by civilians like you or I, to call in and see if his services are needed on Wednesday.
  • After having one felony charge against her dropped and the other reduced to a misdemeanor pertaining to her care of Anna Nicole Smith, psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich is now facing new charges that her lawyers claim aren't kosher, reports L.A. Now. Dr. Eroshevich is accused by the California medical board of signing off on paperwork for two people's worker's compensation claims that she never actually saw.
  • The LA County Board of Supervisors are really pissed that someone shot a known pot dealer -- so much so that they're offered a $10,000 reward for any information that leads to a conviction. The Long Beach Press-Telegram reports that Supervisor Don Knabe hopes the money will entice reluctant witnesses to break their silence on the murder of Philip Williamson, 29, in Long Beach on March 24.
  • Recently, we broke the good news that Los Angeles is actually quite walkable, despite the haters hatin'. Ranked 13th out of 50 by WalkScore, a website that measures the walkability of certain areas, L.A. is not as pedestrian-friendly as no-one-drives-here New York, but it's more conducive to foot traffic than San Diego, Denver, and even Austin.
