via la.guestofaguest.com It seems like the party scene has gotten a little, well, immature lately. We pay ridiculous amounts of money to do gussied-up versions of stuff we did as kids, like bowling, swimming, and carnival games, and half of these hipsters are wearing the exact same t-shirts they did 20 years ago. The pool party is the perfect example of this...MORE>>>

As regular readers of this site may already know, we, like many media outlets, were following the Casey Anthony trial. On a largely unrelated note, we've also had a thing for cocktails lately. It's safe to say that we did not expect these two interests to come together in quite this way. But then again, when you're Franklin Village institution Birds, known primarily for keeping up the BAC of the outrageous comedians of the next-door Upright Citizen's Brigade Theatre, I guess you have to try a little harder.

[Diplo planking with elephant photo via] Planking. Are you down with it yet? If you're not, the odds are you've been extremely confused at least once in the past few months, as you walked through some public park, store, or landmark, only to see some young person lying facedown, arms and legs board-stiff at their sides, having their picture taken. Maybe you tried to call it in to the police, only to be told the only crime being committed was your woeful ignorance of the latest and greatest in inexplicable trends. Here's a quick catch-up guide, in the form of our nation's favorite celebrities jumping on the planking bandwagon. Enjoy it now, before it goes away forever! More»

The 2011 Glamour Women Of The Year Awards took place yesterday in London, and based on the "star" power, one of the prerequisites to being a Woman Of The Year seems to be that you can't be anyone that anybody's ever heard of. And while that can be understandably frustrating for our nominees, it seems that their solution involved several unforgivable capital crimes against fashion. Where's Kim Kardashian when you need her? What's that? She was there? Uh oh. More»

Last week was a pretty big one. Spring officially turned into summer, and it seems like everyone from our usual motley crew of pool partiers to the largest man (formerly) in the NBA had a statement to make. And this being a superficial town and all, they made their statements the old fashioned way: with fashion.

So let's look back at some of the most outrageous outfits from last week, before we turn the page on them forever. More»

On Saturday night EMM Group debuted their Hamptons nightclub, SL East, in East Hampton. The party included a live performance by Dawn and Kalenna of Diddy Dirty Money alongside DJ Chachi behind the turntables. We questioned whether the east end version of this club would be as star-studded - looks like with guests including Matthew Settle, Russell Simmons, Lance Bass and LuAnn de Lesseps the new spot is holding its own.

We don't like to admit it, but sometimes people leave this wonderful city we have here. Their reasons are always varied: maybe they're moving to D.C. to teach Spanish at a boys boarding school. Maybe their significant other got sick of the West Coast and decided that they were going to live out their natural lives in suburban Connecticut. Or maybe they accidentally stepped on Snoop Dogg's sneakers in a movie line and were given 24 hours to leave town forever. Luckily for us, even though Underground Rebel Bingo Club is saying "Bye Bye to L.A.", they're not being hounded by a fiancee or hunted by an army of Crips- they're just headed to the U.K. for the summer, and they've promised they'll be back.
