Los Angeles: Tina Turner, Legs Take Staples Center Stage
Posted 1 day ago

As if we didn't feel lazy and flabby enough, hunched over our glowing screens, pecking away about the few places we've visited and many places we haven't, we have Tina Turner to make us feel worse.

Not only did she stick it to that of an ex-husband of hers, Ike, by staging an incredible comeback in the 80s, but, 20 years later, she's still touring. Tina Turner Live in Concert hits the West Coast this coming week.

Starting Monday, the only woman who can make Madonna seem sprightly will perform three nights this week in and around Los Angeles before heading up the coast and over to Arizona. Tickets start at $65. Not bad, since Madonna's are usually double that.

Los Angeles: The Hills Travel: That's... Loyalty
Posted 4 days ago

"If She Never Met Spencer..." how would we know where they were going? Good thing we put all down on the Hills Season 4 Map.

Previously: Justin and Spencer are still jerks. Audrina and Heidi are still in denial.

This week, Holly continued to work on her application for sainthood by acting as a go-between--or as Lauren put it, "trying to play matchmaker"--between her and Heidi. When Heidi protests that their friendship ended over "something I had nothing to do with" over lunch at Cuvee, Holly suggests she write LC a letter and explain herself.

Los Angeles: Airport Photo Shoot: Zac and Vanessa "Break Free" of American Fans
Posted on Sep 30, 2008 03:00 PM

Wait, Sweden gets it first? Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens bravely risk the ire of American tweens by leaving for Stockholm via LAX to promote their forthcoming flick, "High School Musical 3: Senior Year."

To the best of our knowledge, "HSM3" is the final chapter in the Disney phenomenon that began as a January TV movie and spawned a world of merchandise and a reality show, locking Efron, Hudgens and costars like Ashley Tisdale out of the Disney stable.

Tisdale shot a New Zealand-set children's movie earlier this year, but Efron's turn as a young stage actor in Richard Linklater's latest project "Me and Orson Welles" got just lukewarm reviews. Hudgens is still known as the one with the nude-picture scandal.

Make way for "High School Musical 4: The One Where They All Magically End Up at the Same College"?

Los Angeles: The Hills Travel: What Up, Shady Guy?
Posted on Sep 30, 2008 01:45 PM

"Don't Act Innocent..." You know which way is up. Get informed with our Hills Season 4 Map.

Previously: Lauren went away and everyone had lots of fun without her. Hope y'all enjoyed it, 'cause it's over.

This week's episode opens with LC with boxing gloves on. Cue, much? Even the personal trainer weighs in on Lauren's dilemma as she and Whitney work out: Should she let Stephanie go ahead and date her ex? Or should she make a deal out of it? Please, this is TV. We have to make a deal out of it.

Here's how it went down:

Los Angeles: SLS Beverly Hills Might Actually Open On Time
Posted on Sep 26, 2008 07:30 PM

One of the final finishing touches at the SLS Beverly Hills was the placement of the SLS Crest above the main entrance this week.

Crest, you ask? Yep, you see the chandelier with those little monkeys that look like they are up to no good? Yeah. That's the crest - or logo - for SLS Hotels.

So the Crest is up. Construction is finishing up. But when can you stay?

Los Angeles: Airport Photo Shoot: Natalie Portman's One Bag Alert
Posted on Sep 26, 2008 04:20 PM

Now here's a girl whose packing skills we envy: Natalie Portman has one hand free for her pooch as she slings her checked bag casually over one shoulder. Such grace! Such skill!

We're guessing Portman, who recently broke up with singer boyfriend Devendra Banhart, is headed home to New York City for Rosh Hashanah, which begins Monday at sunset. Hope you've bought your apples and honey!

Los Angeles: Airport Photo Shoot: Reese's First-Class Fashion Move
Posted on Sep 23, 2008 09:00 PM

We know they're not really cool any more. We know you can buy knockoffs of them for $5 on the corner. But for our money, no woman's travel wardrobe is complete without a pashmina or other megascarf--and Reese Witherspoon shows hers off on a recent arrival to LAX.

Too cold? Too casually dressed for your next stop? Spilled something on your Michael Stars tee? Toss this on and suddenly you're a jet-setter.

So if your boyfriend happens to be in London filming a video-game blockbuster, your fashion sense doesn't have to suffer.

Los Angeles: The Hills Travel: There Are A Hundred Million Guys In This City!
Posted on Sep 23, 2008 01:45 PM

Let the mice play "When Lauren's Away" at our Hills Season 4 Map.

Previously: Holly and Lauren had a summit of sorts, and Audrina finally saw the JustinBobby we all see.

A couple weeks ago, when data on the ridiculously inflated "salaries" of the people on "The Hills" was leaked, we wondered not why LC was making so much but why glorified cameo players like Brody and Stephanie were making anything for essentially being friends with LC. Well, this week they had to step up their game when LC went to Italy on vacation and suddenly they needed to start creating some plot. Well, it sort of worked!

While Lauren was out, Audrina and Lo buried the hatchet. And just in time, because Stephanie came over to ask Audrina's advice about the cute guy that just asked her out -- Duh Doug! She ought to wait to go out with him, but...
