Lina LecaroThe biggest show -and wildest crowd- Nokia Theatre may have ever seen. Kiddie faux-hawks, fashionably mismatched tutu ensembles and tattoos (fake on tykes, real on moms and dads) swarmed upon L.A. Live in downtown this past weekend, when the trendster tyke sensation Yo Gabba Gabb ... More >>
In this week's Nightranger column, we cover last week's Macy's Passport "Glamorama" event at the Orpheum Theatre downtown.

Josh Kun and Roger Bennett's secret history of Jewish-American music
What's there to say about America's favorite trainwreck, except, well, the meds seem to be working. On The Record, the MTV doc that aired this past Sunday, and every night since, sought to be a sympathetic, somewhat real attempt at changing Britney Spears image and launching her new record, Circus, ...

Think nodody dresses up to go out in LA anymore?

Another LA Fashion week has ended and now that we’ve recovered –from the clothing cacophony and that nasty cold that’s been going around- it’s time to survey the overall style statements. Yes, there actually were some, and not surprisingly, many came from the crowds not the runway (remember ... More >>
The leopard loving lass is a special kinda gal. She can be a sweet kitty cat, but get on her bad side and she'll scratch you. I've been a leopard print fan since I was a kid. My nana had a super-comfy animal print couch and I loved lounging on it and pretending I was a movie star. When I got old ... More >>

The Isley Brothers at the Henry Fonda Theater
I'd like to think that I'm way more popular in real life than I am on Myspace. I've only got like 50 friends, but that's probably because I only say yes to requests from peeps who truly are friends. Call me a weirdo. Anyway, the pals I do have, happen to have thousands of friends and way too much ... More >>
