Sometimes, especially in the middle of the week, you really don't want to have people over to your house. But then again, maybe I can only say that because Snoop Dogg has never been a guest at my place. For although it appears that he's been a weekly fixture at the Levi's Haus showroom/event space in West Hollywood since he played a show there in between Coachella weeks, I really can't imagine anyone has a problem with a weekly appearance from Snoop. Especially after reports have The Doggfather keeping the party rocking through a short power outage Tuesday night. More»

It's not our place to say whether the anger and outrage of the neighbors of Sunday's Hudson Block Party is inappropriate. We're just saying if the residents occupying the same vicinity as the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval, Elton John's Oscar viewing party, or just the routine shitshow that takes place outside the Hudson and the rest of Santa Monica Blvd on the weekends are this "disgusted" over the Hudson Block Party, it must have been one helluva messy rager. And actually, we know it was from everyone who was there and have photos of the good times to prove it. More»

Every country in the world has their own pop stars, but only a rare and special few can take it to the next level and conquer an American market already saturated in homegrown talent. With an electrifying debut performance at DJ Casey Alva's birthday party at West Hollywood's Hype at The Factory/Ultra Suede, it seems that Israeli pop sensation Hayla is poised to become dance music's next crossover star.

Fantastic news for those of you who thought you were going to have to choose between paying for your heart medicine this month and getting the traffic cops off your back! After going back and forth on their beleaguered red light camera system, the LAPD has finally declared that they will not pursue the 65,000+ drivers with unpaid red light camera tickets, most of which are in the neighborhood of $500 per violation. So if you're still holding an unpaid L.A. red light ticket, congratulations! Go treat yourself to an iPad. More»

With all due respect to the L.A. Weekly's Squid Ink blog (even if the departure of Jonathan Gold gives them a kind of "Van Halen with Sammy Hagar" vibe these days), we have a bone to pick with their recent "Top 10 Late Night Eats" list. It's pretty simple: 11 p.m., when several of the restaurants on their list close, is not even remotely "late night." More»

Eating after midnight: even if you're not worried about turning into a Gremlin, it's not exactly good for you, right? But let's face it, we've all had nights when the bars are closing, the booze is burning a hole in your stomach, and you'd rather lay down in the middle of Wilshire than go home to a fridge full of condiments and frozen broccoli. These are the nights when you need our indispensable guide to the best restaurants on the west side (east side guide coming soon!) that will still be open when tonight turns into tomorrow. More»

What a magical place Sweden must be! Their automobiles are dream machines that last forever. Their social democracy extends a safety net America can only dream of, while still maintaining a robust entrepreneurial class. But most importantly, their pop music is (and has always been) bubbly, infectious, and inescapable. All of which brings us to last weekend's Robyn concert at the Hollywood Bowl, or as it's known in WeHo, The Greatest Show Of All Time. More»

Traditionally, men want to downplay the importance of strippers in their lives, as this helps us convince the women whom we do not ply with dollar bills that our relationships with them are more meaningful. But West Hollywood Mayor John Duran has never been big on tradition and next month his city will be honoring those warriors of the Champagne Room with an official Go-Go Dancer Appreciation Day, and he seemingly couldn't be happier about it.
