Once again Michael Moore is getting the last laugh. Claim that his films aren't documentaries, allege that his facts are wrong, complain that he's fat, etc., bro is getting a better deal on his latest work, SiCKO, than any other star in Hollywood - 50% of the gross. After theater owners have taken their cut, in other words, "Sicko's" profits will be split in half between Moore and Harvey and Bob Weinstein, whose Weinstein...

Dude, the Beasties tickets go on sale tomorrow, and to celebrate we are having a contest today. Which rhymes with Horray! First the good news for all.

by Jake Dobkin Hey everyone-- you may have noticed that we've made a few small changes to our commenting and feedback systems: 1.

If the commenter is also a LAist or Gothamist or Ist author, the page will include a list of their recent posts. Here's mine. You...

Trishelle Cannatella is our favorite Real World cast member even though we just discovered her last name. Yes we love her even moreso than Puck, but that's probably because even through the tv screen we can tell that if we met him he would probably reek and snort a nose rocket at us, whereas Trishelle would probably stumble into our arms and give us a real sweet hug. We loved her in the Surreal Life,...

What a better way to enjoy the longest Monday of the year than to enjoy free ice cream while listening to the mellow funky goodness that is The Mix Up, the new album by the Beastie Boys? In a deliciously and deviously cool way to get you to listen to their new collection of all-instrumental jazzy grooves that come out tomorrow, the three bad brothers you know so well have arranged for two listening...

Earlier this month UCLA held their infamous Undie Run which has been completely covered by serveral indepth LAist photo essays (and out of fairness we even covered the USC Fountain Run). This last Undie Run was bigger and even more successful, so therefore thanks to UCLA student and photographer Eric Kim, we are able to give you the biggest Undie Run photo essay ever. Because of the nature of the content - scantily clad...
