Don’t get me wrong, most of the shows in my DVR are there because they feature sweeping views of LA and give me tips on cool (often douchey) places to check out that I haven’t heard of. It just seems a little soon for the Real World to be heading back to town after it was just here a few seasons ago for the Real World Hollywood. That season featured some roided out maniac with a bunch of racists (that’s how I remember it.) Before that we had the Real World LA (Venice) which mostly focused on a drunk Irish guy, a karaoke cowboy, and a lesson on inappropriate times to cry “rape.”
Hey whatever, I’ll cue it up and record it, and probably skip past the drama to get to HD shots of my neighborhood. If you’re looking for your opportunity to humiliate your family and ruin your future, LA Metblogs has the scoop.
Jason Segel stopped by The Wiltern last night to woo Swell Season fans with his latest piece. In the song he mentions his other piece. Yeah I don’t know.
If you follow this here Snark, you realize that we exist for one mission and one mission only. To bring Dunkin Donuts to California. It seems I’m not the only former East Coaster willing to fight this fight. Below is the message that Boston-themed Santa Monica bar Sonny McLean’s posted on Facebook and Twitter:
Get fresh Dunkin’ Donuts at Sonnys! If we get enough orders, we’re driving them in from Vegas this Saturday morning, November 21.
In a nutshell: donuts and munchkins get delivered to a DD in Vegas at 4AM from the bakery; boxes are immediately saran wrapped; tasty goodness arrives at Sonny’s approx. 9 AM.
They’ll actually be fresher than stumbling into a DD in Boston at 9!
ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED AND PAID FOR IN ADVANCE AT SONNY’S BY TONIGHT @ 11:30 PM. (That’s right, TONIGHT, by 11:30)
Order forms and envelopes will be on and behind the bar.
Cost:
Doughnuts: $20/dozen - option of 3 types per dozen. (see list below)
Munchkins: $20 for 25 - choose any percentage from the following 3 types. Traditional Glazed; Chocolate Cake Glazed; Powder Sugar filled with Jelly (personal favorite, goes well with Guinness). (For example: 9 glazed, 8 chocolate, 8 jelly; 10/5/5; 1/1/23; etc.)
By now you may have heard that Steven Tyler and Aerosmith are on the Rocks (Aerosmith joke.) If you haven’t heard this then cheers to us for breaking the “Aerosmith is looking for a new singer” news.
To recap: Aerosmith had been falling apart health-wise, the biggest headline coming when Steven Tyler fell off the stage and the band had to cancel shows. Behind the scenes Tyler had apparently distanced himself from the band so much that the other members of the band didn’t see or hear from him until they hit the stage. After his most recent show with Aerosmith, Tyler mentioned that he was going to focus on “Brand Tyler” for a bit. This prompted guitarist Joe Perry to hit the Twitter with complaints of how Steven Tyler hung up on him and other maybe-this-shouldn’t-be-publicly-broadcasted things. Joe Perry then went on to tell journalists that he doesn’t want to wait for Steven Tyler to be ready to play with Aerosmith again, and that they’d look for a new singer if that’s what it took to make the train keep a-rollin’ (another Aerosmith joke.)
