These photos here look like a scene out of a movie as the infamous "Hollywood" sign that overlooks Los Angeles is in jeopardy as a wild fire rages towards it.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A brush fire in the foothills above Los Angeles sent dark plumes of smoke over the famed Hollywood sign on Friday and threatened an apartment building.
Television pictures showed thick black smoke billowing over the 50-foot (15-meter) sign, long a Hollywood landmark, even though the actual fire was about a quarter mile away and across a canyon, fire officials said.
About 200 firefighters battled the fire, assisted by water-dropping helicopters, said Ron Myers of the Los Angeles city fire department. Early reports said the fire had charred about five acres.
Smoke drifted into both Warner Bros and Universal studios but the flames were blown away from the affected areas.
City authorities have said that two teenagers admitted deliberately starting the fire.
The Hollywood sign, which was built of wood in 1923 and read Hollywoodland as an advertisement for a housing development, is now made of steel and painted white.
My grandmother used to say that you aren't safe anywhere, and I'm starting to believe her!
Early Sunday morning, three people were injured when shots were fired at a post-Kid's Choice Awards party. Police suspect it was an act of gang violence. The slime vs. the blimps?
The party, held in Los Angeles, was mainly attended by teenagers. Police say the three people were shot were all hit below the belt and did not face life threatening injuries.
The shooting went down at about 12:30 a.m. at a drapery store rented for the party, which drew about 200 young people. No arrests had been made by Sunday morning, police said.
The 20th Annual Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards took place on Sunday night and were hosted by Justin Timberlake.
Vivica A. Fox was busted earlier this week for drunk driving by the California Highway Patrol.
The CHPs pulled Fox over for speeding when they spotted Vivica in her silver Cadillac SRX driving on Los Angeles' 101 Freeway "at a high rate of speed" and swerving out in and out of her lane.
The cops clocked the 42-year-old actress going 80 mph and observed that she was showing "signs of alcohol intoxication."
After a little detox, Fox was booked and released on her own recognizance. She will also have to appear in court at a later date.
The Harry Potter franchise has been in the news a lot this month. Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, is calling it quits. JK Rowlings is going green by offering an energy conscious publication this time. And of course Daniel Radcliffe is bearing all in an on stage production of Equus that is likely to be picked up on Broadway in the near future.
Out of all this news, Daniel Radcliffe's naked play seems to be getting the most attention. Over the past month, I have gotten tons of e-mails asking me publish pictures of Radcliffe's naked 17 year old body. A fellow blogger even offered a few hundred pucks if I could locate the pictures for them.
I am sure my publisher would cut off my harry potter if I posted pictures of a 17-year-old boy on this site!
The simple answer is no. I will not publish the pictures of the boy wizard's nakedness here, and I will not sell the photos if someone sends them to me.
Radcliffe is a 17-year-old boy, and in America that is technically considered child porn.
Designer Anand Jon seems to be in deep trouble as more allegations on sexual offenses have surfaced. We first told you about this story last week, now the finger pointing has really began!
Los Angeles, March 20: An Indian-born fashion designer accused of rape was hit with a further 13 criminal charges for a range of sex offences involving four more women, authorities in Los Angeles said.
Anand Jon, 33, who has dressed celebrities including Paris Hilton, was last week charged with rape and a string sex crimes on three people -- two women and a 15-year-old girl.
Prosecutors yesterday announced a series of new counts involving four additional alleged victims, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Country District Attorney's office said.
Maybe he should pull a Mark Jacobs and head for rehab?!
The same people who have banned gays from marching in the New York City St. Patrick's day parade have just banned New York's bravest too! The fire fighters will still get to march, but they won't lead the parade as they usually do.
The chief organiser of the annual St Patrick's Day parade in New York, which takes place today, has incensed the city's firemen by accusing them of turning up drunk and making the Irish look bad.
Members of New York's fire department - many of whom are Irish-Americans - will no longer be marching at the head of the 246-year-old parade after they were accused of skipping planning meetings, ignoring direction and spending the day getting drunk.
Many New Yorkers revere their firemen - popularly dubbed "The Bravest" - as the heroes of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the city. The slur on their good name has caused widespread anger and prompted interventions all the way up to Michael Bloomberg, the mayor.
Isn't this holiday all about getting drunk? I thought that was the purpose of this parade.
During his radio address the Mayor said,
"Usually, I march with the Police Department the whole way. This time, I'll try to march with the Fire Department as much of the whole way as I can. My advice to the guy running the parade is: Look, nothing's perfect. Lighten up! You have rules. Rules are there to be guidelines. Don't enforce 'em at this level."
Many members of the New York City council are marching in Dublin to support openly gay city council speaker Christine Quinn who is not welcomed to march in NYC due to her sexual orientation.
Can we ban the whole parade and start over??
A well known fashion desginer has been charged with rape, sexual battery and lewd acts on a minor. He is being accused of assaulting two women and a 15-year-old girl.
The Indian-born Anand Jon said (through an attorney) today that the sex was consensual and suggested the women were lying because he did not make them famous.
"He's very distraught. He's never been in jail before," attorney Ronald Richards said.
Anand Jon has made cameo appearances on America's Next Top Model and was named by Newsweek as one of it's people to watch in 2007.
Well we won't be watching too much of him if he's behind bars!
Ann Coulter... what is there that a gay person can say nice about this bitch? Nothing.
If you don't know Coulter, she is the right wing puppet who says everything that that people like Dick Cheney, George Bush, Mitt Romney and John McCain wish they could say.
Today, while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the bitch called John Edwards (the presidential candidate, not the medium) at "faggot."
“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”
You used the word 'faggot,' bitch. Our publisher hates her, so there is change I will be reprimanded for being so harsh.
This isn't the first time Coulter has showed her biggotry in public. She has previously put "even money" on a bet that future president, Hillary Clinton, will come out of the closet, said former president, Bill Clinton, shows "some level of latent homsexuality," and called former VP Al Gore a "total fag."
Who does this bitch think she is? Is she gay? Hardly! Therefore the whore shouldn't be dropping the "faggot" bomb.
That's why we are inducting Ann Coutler into the GaySocialites.com Stupid Bitches Club today.
Singer Bobby Brown has been sentenced to 30 days in jail over $19,000 in unpaid child support payments. We told you Tuesday that Brown was picked up by police while attending his daughter's cheerleading performance.
An arrest warrant was issued in October after the former singer and reality star failed to show up at a hearing for overdue child support owed to the mother of two of his children, Kim Ward.
Brown's reps say they are still trying to come up with the money.
A few years ago, Bobby Brown could have seamlessly come up with $19,000 to bail himself out of jail. Today, that seems to be a different story. A judge has ordered that Brown be held in jail until he comes up with the money he owes in back child support.
"We're diligently working on getting those funds available from outside sources," said Phaedra Parks, Brown's Atlanta attorney.
Wow! I didn't realize Bobby Brown was in such bad shape! Maybe he should call up Whitney Houston and see if she has a house somewhere that she can auction off to get him out?
Oh wait, Whitney is on a come back tour that doesn't include her soon-to-be ex-hubby. It looks like you're on your own this time Bobby!
