Yep. You read it right. This is the 20th Annual Los Angeles Film Festival. Running from June 11th to 19th, this is a big anniversary for LA’s favorite and biggest film fest. 20 years. When I look over the list of filmmakers and actors presenting films this year, I can’t help but think that some were in diapers when the festival first started and others, not even born yet. Technological advances over the past 20 years have opened up filmmaking, making it more accessible and mor...

The severe drought has given Los Angeles County residents another reason to flock to local beaches - water quality has significantly improved up and down the coast in the summer months, according to Heal the Bay's annual Beach Report Card released Thursday. In what has become an annual tradition before the Memorial Day weekend, the Santa Monica nonprofit doled out grades based on the amount of bacteria in the ocean for all the beaches along the West Coast over the past year....

Remember that restaurant scene in "When Harry Met Sally"? While sampling some of the offerings at LA Spice Café I came close to emulating Sally, except my reactions were to the food and totally and deliciously genuine. For that I must thank Executive Chef Chris DeVillier, truly a magician in the kitchen, who recently joined LA Spice and brings his 25 years of culinary experience to this Culver City café. As the former lead culinary consultant and associate producer for M...
Within months, Los Angeles County will have the power - for the first time - to enforce tougher restrictions on development in its scenic Santa Monica Mountains, including banning the building of mansions on ridgelines and vineyards on hillsides. Under a land-use plan debated for decades but now approaching final approval, the county would become the primary guardian of an 80-square-mile area with gorgeous landscapes and fragile ecosystems that impacted by multimillion-dollar...

I have known Ben Allen since he worked for The Observer in 1998 gathering subscriptions. Since then, he's gone on to Berkeley Law School, and the SMMUSD Board. I caught up with the Candidate for Ted Lieu's vacant State Senate Seat today. He has gathered some major endorsements, raised over $250,000, and appears to be the leading candidate for the seat that stretches South from Santa Monica to Manhattan Beach. I asked him the following questions. Why are you running for State...
Based on my actions of the last 30 years or so, I made a startling decision last Friday. Without question, if the Lakers were playing that night I'd go there. It's been my work. I need to know what's going on with the team. But reality set in. The story wasn't at the Lakers' game. They're out of playoff contention and they were playing the Sacramento Kings, a similarly awful team. No, I needed to spend the day at the Clippers' training facility, where there was plenty of actio...

Take one look at the purity of a magically light, bright and ethereal fountain scene in AT MIDDLETON and you immediately know how love feels, or should feel; how bliss and joy feel, or should feel. Take one look at Andy Garcia's face in the car or hear the sweet sadness in his voice as his character George and son Conrad "take the long way home" so the beauty of a day can linger a bit longer and that also tells you not only how love and bliss feel, but also heartbreak. One...

Now the company is leaving its headquarters in Santa Monica and moving into a larger facility in Playa Vista called The Reserve, where many big-name companies already reside, such as the You...
1) Tell me a little about your past career(s) I grew up an avid equestrian (horse-a-holic) in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village; singing, dancing, acting in musical theater and riding horses were my daily passions, my reason for being. Arriving in Hollywood's glamorous entertainment industry was a quick 30 minute drive down the 101 when I landed my first union TV job at age 18, Go-Go dancing opposite Garry Shandling. I co-hosted 'Up All Night' on USA Network with Rhonda...

The hearing will determine whether defendant Nathan Campbell must stand trial on one...
