Books Signing With Slash…We Think

Tina Dupuy — Sat, 31 May 2008 16:23:41 +0000

The book Reckless Road was being signed by Slash. Well…it was either Slash or a washed up Cher impersonator. We’ve heard conflicting stories so far.

Barbara Walters at BEA

There was a swarm of people gathering around. We used our rather pointy elbows to push through and see who they were there for. It’s Barbara Walters.

Fawn.

FBLA at BEA

Tina Dupuy — Fri, 30 May 2008 15:41:11 +0000

It’s a tsunami of swag at the Book Expo America 2008. If you come down tomorrow bring your handy mule to haul all the books you should take but probably won’t ever get around to reading.

Is L.A. Observed Dissing Ron Kaye?

Greg — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:59:25 +0000

We honestly can’t tell by this post.

We’d normally just e-mail Kevin Roderick directly and ask, but we decided to take a page out of John Mayer‘s play book. Really, just so we could post a picture of John Mayer.

LAT in 90 Seconds

One Nation, Under YouTube: James Rainey does a spot analysis of how John McCain is portrayed on YouTube. The results are unflattering. And totally fun to watch.

Harvey Korman, 81: Harvey Kormin, the “luminous second banana” has died. From the obit: “Korman made more than 30 films, including four comedies directed by Brooks, who first discovered him when his wife, the late Anne Bancroft, singled Korman out on The Carol Burnett Show.”

Taking The Stand: A judge has ordered Chicago Sun-Times Music critic Jim DeRogatis to take the stand in the R. Kelly case, saying the 1st amendment doesn’t protect him because he was the first person known to possess the sex tape at the heart of the trial.

FBLA Arrived (at) ‘In The Flesh’

Tina Dupuy — Fri, 30 May 2008 09:54:51 +0000

FBLA showed up at the West Coast debut of the reading series In The Flesh in Culver City. A couple of blocks from the new offices of the LA Weekly.

Pictured are authors Rachel Kramer Bussel, Carly Milne, Shana Ting Lipton, Stan Kent and Maxim Jakubowski.

The audience was 80% women and the authors were 80% non-American. Not that we’ve turned into statisticians but we were told that is indicative of the erotica market…which we find harder to report about because it robs us of making our own dick jokes. Ahem.

Noticiero Azteca America Moves to Mexico

Tina Dupuy — Thu, 29 May 2008 17:05:54 +0000

Well, it’s not exactly Ross Perot‘s ‘giant sucking sound’ but it does suck for the 29 people that have lost their jobs.

Our thanks to Veronica Villafane for the tip.

She writes:

Azteca America today sent out a press release proudly boasting an HD news studio in Mexico City and a new “alliance” with Fuerza Informativa Azteca.

Bottom line: Azteca America will be feeding U.S. Hispanics with a regionalized news service, produced in Mexico.

In ten years they’ll bail to China.
