Lindsay Lohan everyone's favorite drunken, road-raging, coke-head, Hollywood-washup starlet bet's $50K that she will sleep with David Beckham by December when Posh hits the Spice Girls Tour. Sure Linds, why not? Of course it might be hard to sneak him into a jail cell, considering her recent DUI arrest is a sure sign that is where she will be headed. Look Lindsay, you cock-eyed slag. Just because Becks and Posh are nutty enough to......

Starting tomorrow, lots of folks are going to be rushing area theaters to check out the latest Quentin Tarantino+Robert Rodriguez splatterfest, Grindhouse. And yes, Los Angeles has definitely gone grindhouse crazy in general. But before running off to The Grove, consider a truly authentic alternative. We think the best way to see the Tarantino/Rodriguez homage to 1970s and 1980s schlock cinema is by heading to an equally entertaining relic of a bygone era; the......

Current Record: 29-30, 3rd Pacific, T-7th West Last Week: If LAist didn’t know any better, we would have assumed the latest rash of injuries to hit sports stars across LA was just another insidious terrorist plot hatched up on 24, given the number of attacks our fair city has received over the years on the show. We saw Becks go down before even getting to LA. We saw Lamar Odom getting injured again and joining......

We're sorry, tomdog, that you missed the first ten minutes of the Grammys, because that's when Stewart Copeland was on stage. As millions of people saw last night, The Police got back together to open the big award show at the basketball arena. If LAist ran the world we wouldn't have allowed Sting to ruin those first few moments at the Grammys to announce the band was coming back, or introduce themselves. Everyone knows......

- If LAist smoked (cigarettes) we'd be so pissed at Santa Monica - Martini Republic - If LAist had a Book Club, If I Did It would be next month's selection. - Defamer - If LAist was in a rowboat in Uganda, we'd call you from this payphone. Probably collect so be cool - payphone project - If LAist ran any southland Fire Departments we'd take it easy with the black firemen - KNX......

If there's one thing we've learned about sushi from all our recent experience, it's that it's darn near impossible to find a decent sushi restaurant open for lunch on Sundays. We couldn't wait til dinner. We couldn't think of somewhere not too far over any of the hills in the 323 to try. So we roamed the valley floor until we stopped at Ahi Sushi on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City. It was dim......

If LAist was still in high school, we'd probably be faking sick, playing hooky or attempting to convince our parents to reconsider their aversion to home schooling this week. It is not a good week to be a teen in Los Angeles. In our best local newscaster hyperbole: No Place is Safe! We know that Jefferson High School and Santa Monica High School had huge brawls last week (Jefferson fighting continued on Monday) but......

Earlier this month, LAist brought you the story of Cynthia -- the proprieter and potty-mouthed owner of Cynthia's on 3rd. Today, LA Weekly waxes on about how the event that spawned the e-mail that spawned the LAist post that spawned a supposed LA.com tirade has already encircled the Earth 10,000 times and which caused LA Weekly to find out the true story from Cynthia herself. In response to hearing what was said about her,......

Had enough of Oprah? Sick of Maury? Wish that you knew exactly what kind of medical degree that Dr. Phil guy actually has? Well fret no more fellow Angelenos. Our humble little town is about to be blessed by the presence of greatness. That’s right: "The View" is coming to L.A.! (Insert happy TV Theme music here) Yes, Meredith, Joy, Barbra, Elizabeth and newlywed Star are about to bless us with their witty banter......
