Verne Troyer Finds a Tux to Go, Sinbad Tapes a Reality Show; Paul Reiser Cooks at Raphael, Marilyn Manson Hikes a Trail

Also read what ‘Teen Wolf’ star was spotted, what local starlet is ready for the Oscars and more.

Mini-Me Verne Troyer loves to Twit his every move, big or little, so it was nice this week when he waltzed into an alteration shop on Ventura Boulevard to get his tux pants altered for an upcoming Oscars party. He took a picture of the menu of the place where he was having an “early snack” he said, while waiting for the alterations. He was at . . .

What a funny Thursday. Went with some rowdy PTA moms to on Thursday and there was Sinbad the comedian sitting across from us, just finishing up taping a reality show at the place. The staff was overwhelmed and understaffed so Sinbad’s personal assistant jumped in waiting tables. Sinbad told me, “Everybody thinks they can do a reality show these days, but someone has to have some talent in all of this. You have to show some kind of talent. The last great reality show was The Osbournes and I hope mine’s going to be something like that.”. . .

Later that night, Mitzi the waitress recognized at a late night private party at the new hotspot in No Ho, l. There we were honoring the great , adult porn legend, and she had some porn pals attending including , who eventually fell asleep in a chair in the corner. She was making money for a surgery she needs, and used the opportunity to point out how the adult industry should get health care for its actors . . . .

Jerry Levine, Stiles from Teen Wolf was spotted walking around Studio City this week, and even though that was a 1985 movie, that’s still what he’ll always be recognized for, it seems. . . .

Studio City resident looked hot and comfortable coming out of a gym this week, just before Valentine’s Day. She’s in great shape for all the photography that is going to happen with her during the Oscars and her Black Swan cast. . . .

The Paul Reiser show is filming all over Studio City, like every corner. They’ve used Ventura Boulevard and they also filmed a lot at the posh restaurant Raphael. One of the owners told me that the new sitcom centers around a chef and the kitchen of the restaurant is being used a lot in the show. Can’t wait to see it .  . 

A hiker on ’s more remote trail Tweeted that they thought the saw Marilyn Manson hiking on the trail, too. The Tweeter talked to the Rocker and said he was very nice and spent a nice time chatting. The Tweeter thought the Rocker had been in jail . . .

Coolest Thing to Do this Weekend:   is doing an Afternoon at the with great local performers this weekend. And, if that ain’t enough, it’s all-star weekend at Aura, and all reports say it’s going to be crazy!!

Coolest Drink: At 8 ½ Taverna you have to try the Fire & Ice. It’s a mixed beer drink with Prosecco and Allagash Black, and it’s a take-off of a Black Velvet cocktail made with Prosecco and champagne.

If this is a photo of Studio City in the banner up there, then it's a beautiful place. My mom wasRead More raised in Hollywood, and I grew up in Long Beach. The trees are really lush in that pic!

Born of the 4th of July and Johnny Got His Gun are definitely not movies honoring our veterans.

With all due respect, Mr. Ortiz, I'm curious about how much you sell the puppies for, do you screenRead More the potential buyers, do you take back a dog if the buyer can no longer care for it, what happens to those dogs that are not bought? I ask these questions because I volunteer at animal shelters and often see purebred dogs being dumped by people who say they cannot commit to the pet. In fact, a purebred Dachshund was recently dumped at the South L.A. shelter. When unwanted dogs and cats are abandoned at shelters and they become overcrowded, innocent animals are being killed to make room. I also recently met two people who "rescued" their dogs from breeders who determined that a puppy from a litter was "not perfect" and could not be shown or used for breeding. One puppy was taken to a vet to be put down, but the vet would not do it and instead gave it to a couple he knew would care for it. The other dog was simply given away, thankfully to a person who is caring and adores the dog. The puppies you are advertising are adorable and I hope they go to loving, responsible, committed people. I also hope you understand where I am coming from and why I urge people to adopt a pet from a shelter. I stand by the slogan "Adopt, don't shop."

I wish the media had countered Garcetti's claims with an examination of the facts and had exposedRead More his relationship with BIG development. Only the LA Weekly covered these stories--keep reading it and keep posting.

Oh, it was under announcements and not opinion so that is why I did not understand the post whichRead More appeared as facts.

Presumptuous? What about my "endorsement" is presumptuous. You don't really need toRead More respond😃, I just didn't understand the comment.

Somewhat presumptuous this early on Voting Day.

I attended N.H.H.S. in the mid-seventies. Mr. Reeves and Mr. Moelter were two of my favorites.Read More Loved Mr. McLeroy for Sociology.

great article Mary! Ms. Korney, she sometimes scared me to death! But always around christmas IRead More think of her and pronounce my letters clearly at the end of a word when I sing. I can still remember the song I had to sing for my final, "If ever I would leave you..." She taught me a lot. I agree with everything you said about Mr. Reeves. I had Mr. Pesin for Algebra, he did nothing to help further my math skills. The biggest flirt around, ick. We had a girl in school at the time that flirted her way to an A and hardly ever went to class. Go figure!! I also thought quite highly of Ms. Requiam. Glad she's still around.

glad you lost Wendy...not even your mafia DWP bedfellows could push you through..now go away...
Alex Daniels May 21, 2013 at 09:05 pm
I also notice Wendy Gruel has no platform, except taking money from special interest (most notablyRead More her puppet masters at the DWP) and having one of the most negative campaigns I've ever seen......no thanks, negative Wendy, fool me once.....Eric is our next Mayor....

The signs are everywhere! Please vote for Wendy, Nora. He is also running ads about Wendy GreuelRead More that he knows are outright lies.
