You might remember Gregory Tree from when we interviewed him before he and his band The Hollow Trees were to play Stagecoach out in Indio. Well luckily Greg is an accomplished blogger and he has a full-on report from yesterday's Stagecoach on his blog, plus lots of photos and even a video clip. Here's a taste from Mr. Tree who seemed to be hooked up pretty nicely back in the Artist's area: We were...

Paris Hilton is scheduled to go to jail next month after being pulled over twice while having a suspended license. The judge gave her 45 days in a women's jail in Lynwood , near Compton. LAist was able to conduct a long interview with a deputy at a facility very similar to where Paris will be doing her time. We talked about what's in store for model/actress in regards to dealing with the inmates,...

Following up on a news item we told you about on Friday, apparently the residents of Venice are in alignment with those in Mar Vista who are pissed that Santa Monica has passed a law that only allows dogs with SM tags to legally play in their new park on Bundy and Airport Drive which is right next door to Mar Vista. In the letters section of yesterday's Times were two correspondences that we...

Clearly we aren't as big of Howard Stern fans as some would have you think. When we heard that the "Killers of Comedy" (members of Stern's staff and "Wack Pack") were scheduled to be at the Avalon Saturday night we dilly-dallied and didn't make it to Vine until 9ish. Unfortunately the show starring Rev. Bob Levy, Sal Governale, Richard Christy, Shuli, KC Armstrong and the lovable Beetlejuice started at a head-scratching 6pm so the...

We know you love your momma. She knows you love her. But today the post office needs to know. Mother's Day is on Sunday and even if you're lucky and you mom lives in Cali, you really should go to the post office today, slackers, and get your shit in order. Go over to the record store, go to the Target, go to the jewelry store, but then immediately go to the post office...

One's a middle aged crooner, the other are young bucks from across the pond. They're both playing concerts this month here in LA and we've got tickets for both of em. Keane is a trio from Sussex and Connick is a Sinatra-fan from Louisiana who married a Victoria Secrets model. Although they're great piano-based artists, neither seem all that street-tough, which is why we ask Who Would Win in a Fight: Keane or Harry...

The Dermatology Industry have developed a genius way of getting people to think about their moles. Not the ones in their lawns, or the ones they wack, but the ones on their noggins and faces and chins and necks and backs and whereever. The first Monday in May is Melanoma Monday when we should all go and get our moles checked out to see how they're doing. Because sometimes you little accent of personality...

Unless you've been living under a rock - in which case ow - you are aware that next month your girlfriend Paris Hilton is scheduled to go from the penthouse to the jail house. While on probation for a DUI, Paris failed to enroll in a mandated alcohol education program and was caught twice driving with a suspended license. The second time being on February 27th when sheriff's deputies pulled her over and charged...
