I was channel surfing earlier today, when I stumbled on a TV show featuring a couple of local celebrities, and was aghast to spy more than one fashion faux pas!

For weeks now, I have noticed somethin’ mighty [...]

On a high over his recent spat of publicity in the wake of his dialogue with John McCain, the man who caught the Nation’s attention for about a nano-second – Joe the Plumber – has taken a ballsy political step and labelled Barack Obama a “socialist”.
But, what is a socialist exactly?

How would you liked to be labelled the “worst person in the world”?

Got nothing to do on Thursday, October 30th, just prior to the wild bash on Halloween night in West Hollywood?
Why not prep yourself for the ghoulish celebrations on spooky Friday – by attending a couple of trick-or-treat Horror Classics – sponsored by American Cinematheque at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood?
The prestigious organization is screening 2 [...]

When film director Michael Moore unveiled his new documentary SiCKO – amid a lot of fanfare in earlier this year in Sacramento – some said:

In this neck of the woods, local thrift shops are packin’ in excited masqueraders, in search of the perfect accessories for their titillating costumes, for West Hollywood’s much-anticipated annual Halloween Carnaval party extravaganza, October 31st. (2008 Gay Edition)

The main street in “Boys [...]
