  • Hey, remember when that LAUSD Police officer faked being shot in the chest outside a school in Woodland Hills, and caused a subsequent lockdown of the neighborhood as well as a several-hour-long manhunt? Yeah...so does the LAPD, and today they filed an investigation into the actions of officer Jeff Stenroos, who later admitted to fabricating a story about being shot by a man who was attempting to break into vehicles near El Camino Real High School on January 19.
  • There are some things a man can do that cause him to go crazy. There are other things he can do that, one assumes, would just make him sick. Among the latter, we may well find this man's mission: over at Serious Eats, writer J. Kenji Lopez-Alt has attempted to sample everything on the In-N-Out public menu, the secret menu and the super-secret-menu.
  • In tonight's Extra, Extra, massive amounts of bike lanes, a new 7-11 for Echo Park, a heroic 14-year-old, and Bell's ongoing problems. Plus: Keep up with us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter: @LAist @LAistFood @LAistSports.
  • A Los Angeles man was sentenced today to serve 26 years to life behind bars after bludgeoning another man to death with a sledgehammer.

  • If there's one thing the world needs more of, it's naked girls on film. And thanks to indie-porn darlings, the Suicide Girls, we're about to get just that. The company is in the midst of casting a reality show for VH1 that will follow a group of young women on tour with the Suicide Girls Burlesque Show.
  • After 25 years as the Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger Mahony has handed over the reigns to Archbishop Jose Gomez, the first Latino to hold the position.

  • Phillip and Nancy Garrido of northern California confessed today to the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard, who was 11 at the time of her abduction.

  • Sylvester Stallone has battled boxers, enemy combatants and mobsters. Now, he's turning his fighting skills towards his most worthy opponent yet: pudding. Stallone and businessman John Arnold are being sued by William Brescia, who claims that the two stole his recipe for a high-energy, low-carb pudding and marketed it as their own. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge today ruled that the lawsuit can continue, reports the Daily News.
  • Here's a tip, that we all should have learned from a certain fairy tale years ago: if you leave a trail of food, people will be able to follow it and find you. This might come in handy if you're two children lost in the woods, but maybe not so much if you're someone who's trying to rob a Domino's.
