It's a hard knock life: Actress Lindsay Lohan checked in to jail last night, and made it out unscathed in under five hours. Lohan, following strict orders from Judge Stephanie Sautner, surrendered into custody at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood at 8:48 p.m. to serve a 30-day sentence.

Here's the tally from the Drug Enforcement Administration for last Saturday's Prescription Drug Take-Back Event: Los Angeles area residents turned in 16,560 pounds of medicine - more than 8 tons. Dang. That's a lot of pills!

When Bank of America announced they were going to implement a $5 monthly fee for debit card users, Americans signed on in protest, and BofA relented. Still, Americans are mad as hell about big banks, and on Saturday, November 5, they will not take it any more: It's Bank Transfer Day.

One of Angelenos' biggest grumbles about taking public transit at night is that service is limited, both in frequency and how late the service runs. Now Metro says they are about to launch what they're calling a "major expansion" of night service on their rail lines. So what kinds of big changes can we expect?

The Los Angeles Police Department say they are focusing on the last batch of women depicted in photographs seized from the residence of Grim Sleeper serial killer, Lonnie Franklin Jr. Of the initial 180 females whose images were included in Franklin's extensive collection, a "Final Forty-Eight" are the last to be identified, and possibly counted among his victims, say the LAPD.

If you get stuck in some heinous traffic this morning in Hollywood, blame Twilight. Thanks to a 10:30 a.m. handprint ceremony at the Chinese Theatre for the bloodsucking sensation film franchise's Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, streets in the area will be closed down to make room for the stars...and their hordes of screaming fans.
