Lawsuit alleges trendy Pinkberry product isn't actually frozen yogurt.



According to Williams' suit, the Pinkberry dessert is nothing more than a powder-based product mixed with water or milk that is "sold in this adulterated state without notice to consumers of its ingredients."

Pinkberry is marketed as frozen yogurt "to deceive the public and to profit from that deception," the suit states.
We told you bitches we were over Pinkberry and that we are now into Snowberry. Catch up you dumb ho bags.

Check out this guy's petitition in favor of sending Paris Hilton to jail.
Paris Hilton has made a living off of being and doing absolutely NOTHING! I have no hidden agenda or vendetta....I just feel that it is only right that she serve her time.

Many people (non-celebrities) are faced with these same circumstances hourly and don't have the resources nor support to find themselves immune to the law.

Let us not buy into her celebrity status and allow her to walk free just because she's pretty and we could not stand to not see her party for 45 days.

Of course when she comes out of jail she will be more famous than she already is and will probably get a book deal and have a movie shot about her starring The "Olsen Twins" but nonetheless I believe this time served might do her some good. Perhaps she might realize that she hasn't done much for mankind but just "exist" and have a complete turnaround in her views and responsibilities.

The San Jose Museum of Art presents the first major museum exhibition outside of Los Angeles of Camille Rose Garcia, an artist emerging from the Los Angeles underground scene, whose narrative-based works express an acute political consciousness. The artist’s seemingly light-hearted paintings and drawings of charming cartoon-like characters actually depict dark tales of violence, corruption and greed, and seek to comment on the turmoil of contemporary society. Her first museum solo exhibition surveys her work with an emphasis on her most recent creations, showcasing paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, prints, sculpture, and site-specific installations, and is complemented by a book-length catalogue.Saturday, May 12, 2007 through Sunday, September 23, 2007. Click here for more info.

The main room will have R. Crumb original drawings and covers. Also, a group called Restitution Press will be in the room.

The Restitution Press group contains the artists: Ryan Graeff, Eli Sipsas, Devin Strother, Anthony Cioff, Stephen Mimiaga, Shawn McKinney, and Damon Robinson.

In the side room, they'll be showing Kate Brinkworth and SHAG. (Via Mendenhall Sobiesky Gallery and Restitution Press.)

May 3, 2007 -- KINDERGARTEN kids in ritzy L.A. suburb Calabasas have been coming home to their parents and talking about the "weird man" who keeps coming to their class to sing "scary" songs on his guitar. The "weird" one turns out to be Bob Dylan, whose grandson (Jakob Dylan's son) attends the school. He's been singing to the kindergarten class just for fun, but the kiddies have no idea they're being serenaded by a musical legend - to them, he's just Weird Guitar Guy.

Los Angeles Chief Says Inappropriate Force Used During Rally


Los Angeles' police chief said Wednesday some officers used inappropriate force when they fired rubber bullets into crowds that included children and wielded batons against demonstrators in an incident that marred an otherwise peaceful day of immigration rallies across the United States.

News footage aired Wednesday of the events from the day before showed police beating at least two television camera operators and shoving people who were walking away from officers. They also showed injuries from the rubber bullets, including images of a Hispanic man with a bleeding welt on his stomach.

I went to Sabor a Mexico at 8940 National Blvd. in West L.A. and was not very impressed. So unimpressed I didn't even snap any pics to use on my blog. The pic you see was from lvgoodfood. I ordered the chilaquiles with tomatillo sauce which were not bad but a little overpowered by the tomatillo sauce. The chilaquiles came with a side of refried black beans and this blogger likes his black beans whole. I also ordered the potato taco which was also very uninspiring. Maybe I have to go back on the weekend when they have $1 tacos on their patio but until then I will stick to East Los for my "Sabor a Mexico".

This is the War on Terror, the boardgame: A quality boardgame for 2 - 6 players, lovingly illustrated and politically correct (in a very literal sense). Playing it will bring out the nastiest, greediest, darkest, most paranoid aspects of your character. It's all great family fun. Everyone starts with the best intentions. Then things start to get cramped. Then you notice your neighbour has more oil than you. Before long, war is waged, nukes are dropped, revolutions are fought and terrorists are doing your dirty work, before turning on you...
