The 101 Coffee Shop - Hollywood

October 31st, 2008 by jsnark · 1 Comment

I’m never disappointed when I visit the 101 Coffee Shop.. maybe because it’s usually 2am and my food standards have lowered, but I always leave happy.  Lots of vegetarian/vegan options on the menu, and the ambiance is old-school diner meets chic LA.  By far the best hotel diner you’ll find around LA.. take THAT Santa Monica Best Western IHOP!

Michael Jackson’s publicist reveals exclusively to PerezHilton.com that the singer is NOT getting back together with his brothers and there will be NO concerts next year.

Michael Jackson’s spokesperson, Dr. Tohme, in response to the rumors - begun by Jermaine - regarding Michael’s participation in a Jackson 5 reunion, has issued the following statement from Michael Jackson to PerezHilton.com:

“My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them. I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon.”

Filling in for Michael Jackson…?

WeHo Starts Halloween Celebration Early this Year

October 29th, 2008 by Chad · 1 Comment

A Halloween display resembling Sarah Palin hanging by a noose in front of a house and mannequin resembling McCain emerging from the house’s chimney with paper flames around it was found in West Hollywood. Looks like the citizens of WeHo are starting their annual Halloween celebrations early this year.

The West Hollywood mayor condemned the display resembling Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin hanging.  The house is located on North Orange Grove Avenue.

All the major networks have picked this up, but that is basically the gist of it…poor taste, insensitive artists, blah, blah, blah. Let’s just get Nov 4th here and be done with it all.

For more on it click here for CNN’s story and here for CBS2’s story.
