E3 has once again left the City of Angels, leaving in it's wake a trail of litter advertising the newest, hottest games, tons of Starbucks cups, the swag no one wanted, and booth babes sporting a bit more money in their wallets. Everyone that exhibited during the week of videogames is still probably recuperating, we can only imagine. Best thing overheard at E3 this year? "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Our...

E3 has once again hit town, and you've probably been seeing banners, billboards, and strange signs announcing new and upcoming games and platforms. The coolest of them all has the strangest name, the Nintendo Wii. No, it's not French, but it really is stealing the show here. With the innovative new wand-like motion sensing controller, at least it promises to have kids (and we'll admit it, some adults) waving their hands around like a...

So, you're seen the banners (Bruce, and otherwise) all over town, hanging from lightposts. You've wondered what they are all about. Well, it's time to activate your latent mutant genes, and go find out for yourself at the California Science Center. Last month they opened the brand spanking new Marvel Superheroes Science Exhibit, and it's one of the most exciting and innovative ways we've seen to get both children and adults interested in science....

If any of you saw "American Idol" last night, then you saw something shocking. And we don't mean Simon Cowell's outfit, or Ryan Seacrest's lame "facial fuzz". No, we mean something far more disturbing. That something was the apparently overly surgically enhanced and polished face of Kenny Rogers. Apparently, the guy really is a Gambler, but we think he went over the limit with this one. Examine the before and after photos above. On...

You remember how the City's contract with the Red Light camera providers ran out, so they had to stop using them to give out tickets? Well, your heydey of driving through those intersections at top speeds and deciding your own yellow light entrance/exit time is coming to an end. While the cameras haven't been working since last June, the city sat down and worked out a new contract. Not only that, but they are...

If you happened to catch The Shield's season finale last night, then you can skip this post. However, if you happened to miss it, and it is waiting for you patiently on your Tivo, then run, do not walk, over and watch that thing. We're dying to talk to anyone about it (and we don't want to give away any spoilers here), and all we can say about the ending is: holy crap. It's...

KABC has wasted no time in getting the awkward questions, stammered remarks, and best wishes to everyone coming down the red carpet. So far we've already heard them refer to Ben Stiller as "studly", and Naomi Watt's very current gown as "vintage". It's almost too painful to watch, but you know we'll keep doing it. Our highlight so far has been hearing Paul Giamatti say, in reponse to the interviewer asking if he'd ever...

Anyone who saw American Idol last night was probably scratching their head over Paula Abdul's bizarre failed anecdote about a moth finding a melon and/or a cornflake. What the hell was that all about? A quick Google search for "moth", "cornflake", and "melon" yielded a bunch of very odd hits, but no ancient bit of Chinese wisdom that would have dovetailed nicely into the show and made one of the leaving contestants understand the...

Showcasing some of the delicious drinks we've had around town, we're inagurating this feature with Luna Park's very tasty "You're A Pepper Too!". This $9 drink comes served on a fancy little silver tray, complete with a tiny carafe full of Absolut Vanilia, another carafe full of organic vanilla syrup, a Dr. Pepper in the old style glass bottle, a tumbler full of ice, a whimsical animal swizzle stick (we scored a giraffe), and...
