Waitin for that weekend to begin and thanking the Icky Thump above for having you here today to help me watch that clock tick tock tick me into three days of blissful bbq love. Awwww, that's awesome LAist. Yep and after the jump are ten more trippy-ass videos by the White Stripes over the years....

Last night we showed you the Rosie O'Donnell vs Elisabeth Hasslebeck catfight. We felt sorta lame posting it because it was already 14 hours old and figured everyone had seen it by then, but today it was the most popular post all day on LAist. During the onslaught of traffic we got an email asking if we saw what happened to Elisabeth right after the break. Whaaaat? Apparently Alicia Silverstone, despite being a vegan...

If Perry Farrell wants to have a Flash Mob situation happen in Venice on Sunday, fine. Bro invented Jane's Addiction, an LA band so great it ranks right up there with the Doors, Guns n Roses, and the Beach Boys. Like Brian Wilson, Perry could have holed himself up in a house doing drugs and thinking about surfing, but instead he invented Lollapalooza and then made the underground classic film The Gift. So if...

Recently the British company behind Doc Martens boots hired the famous ad company Saatchi & Saatchi to put together an advertising campaign that featured four dead punk rock heroes in Heaven wearing nothing but a sheet and a pair of the iconic combat boots. The ads were placed in a UK publication in April called Fact Magazine, which is often found given away for free at British record stores and clothing shops. Controversy erupted...

You'd think with all the tee vee we watch, and as large as our hard drive is (nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more), The View and their attention-starved hosts would be a show we'd have on Season Pass. But no. Therefore when we heard that Rosie O'Donnell went back on her promise not to attack Elisabeth Hasselbeck - now that she'd been knocked up again - and indeed had our...

Dear LAist, I read your article about Prince being at the Roosevelt Hotel this summer. I remember seeing a sign that said something like, "the revolution is coming". Were they telling us something? - I'm Not Usually Around Hollywood & Highland, Really While his multi-night residency at the Roosevelt Hotel has not been officially announced, if Prince does go ahead and play seven consecutive Friday night concerts in the cozy comforts of the Hollywood...

Days after LAist said that Doc Martens should have its ass kicked for approving a new ad campaign depicting four punk icons in Heaven wearing nothing but sheets and the famous combat boots, the shoe manufacturer claimed no responsibility, and infact severed ties with the famous ad agency. In a statement released today and emailed directly to LAist, Doc Martens' PR reps, Exposure, explains that Saatchi is to blame and the ads are as...

MTV doesn't show music videos any more, they make tv shows that have music in them. It's sorta genius except for the fact that we loved some of those videos, and it helped us learn what bands we should go out and, you know, support. Whatevs, MTV and VH-1 keep on pumping out some quality reality-based programs that you might not like but we freaking love. The Real World, Charm School, and Rob and...
