  • The Los Angeles Police Department are still keeping quiet about the two men and a woman arrested yesterday in conjunction with the Bryan Stow beating case, however L.A. Now has received information about all three of the suspects.
  • The public isn't any closer to learning details about the death of the man whose dismembered body was found stuffed in a garbage bag and left in a Pico Rivera back yard this week. Investigators with the L.A. County Sheriff's Department have issued a "security hold" on information regarding the case, which blocks the coroner's office from sharing what they've learned about the body parts.
  • Vegans who love sweet, chilly treats, have you KindKreme's Brownie Sundae? The animal-free concoction has just been been named by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) as the best vegan frozen dessert in America.
  • Carmageddon, pfft! The real threat to our safety and sanity are the rabid bats that are flapping around SoCal, at the ready to bite and infect. If you believe the NY Daily News, who, with (sarcasm) zero scorn for us, warn we're experiencing a bat "take over" in L.A. and Ventura Counties.
  • The Los Angeles Police Department have not officially confirmed the Thursday arrests of two suspects in the Bryan Stow beating case, nor the clearing of Giovanni Ramirez, the man the LAPD insisted was the perp. The news broke yesterday evening and was first reported by the L.A. Times, though details of the arrests, and the suspects' identities have not been released by the LAPD.
  • Arriving soon at Los Angeles International Airport's Terminal 4: A Gourmet Food Truck. Yep, you read that right. Capitalizing on a trend that may have peaked in late 2009, HMS Host is planning to include a food truck "parked" inside the terminal's "Gourmet Food Court" that is slated to open in summer 2012.
  • It's not true that nobody walks in L.A., but our city's streets are less walkable than a dozen others around the nation, according to the recently-released Walkscore ranking. Los Angeles comes in at #13 (Long Beach gets #11) on their list.
  • Our once idyllic Governor and First Lady are now just two more players in the divorce game, and things don't seem to be getting any prettier. According to papers filed with the courts, Arnold Schwarzenegger has indicated he's not willing to pay spousal support or attorney's fees for his estranged wife, Maria Shriver.
  • Authorities in Pico Rivera are investigating the death of a young male, thought to be in his late teens or early 20s, whose body parts were found stuffed in a garbage bag and stashed in the back yard of a home. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau detectives were sent to the 8500 block of Pico Vista Road at around 8:30 Wednesday night, according to the LASD.
  • The tagline for the release covering the 2011 Xtreme Eating "awards" list is the very un-ironic phrase "Big eats...big Americans." The annual report put out by the Center for Science in the Public Interest points out a few of the nation's biggest gut buster menu items available around the country from some familiar restaurants. So if you're looking to pack on the pounds (or don't mind a big time gross out) take note of these enormous edibles.
  • Clearly, someone did not get the memo about the purpose of the "Summer Night Lights" program, which is meant to encourage safe, summertime evening park use in order to reduce gang violence. Shots rang out in Wilmington last night, interrupting the exodus of about 30 people from a "SNL" gathering at Wilmington Recreation Center, leaving two wounded.
  • If you're headed in or out of Long Beach this weekend via Metro's Blue Line, heads up, there's an important service change to make note of. Blue Line service in the area will be replaced by bus service this weekend due to City of Long Beach tree trimming maintenance work, says Metro.
