Leah Beckmann · 10/03/11 04:26PMWelcome to the neighborhood, Frances Bean Cobain! The angsty progeny of authoress Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain has purchased a 3,350 square-foot home all her own. Frances reportedly attends Bard College in upstate New York and spends the majority of her time on the East Coast, so it remains to be seen how much time she'll actually spend in L.A.

Seth Abramovitch · 09/23/11 12:31AMBack in April, we brought you the story of two L.A. traffic cops caught participating in a guerrilla porn production, "spanking and fondling" an adult actress who approached them in the street.

Lauri Apple · 09/18/11 09:25PMIf you're acrophobic, then this video of a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy being lowered out of an airborne helicopter by a thin cable to rescue some canyon climbers trapped on a cliff side will probably freak you out a bit.

SpongeBob SquarePants Detained by LAPD
Seth Abramovitch · 09/15/11 02:15AMThere have always been a few particularly bad apples amongst the never-ending parade of costumed ne'er-do-wells that loiter outside Hollywood's famed Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Jeff Neumann · 08/18/11 04:36AMLast Friday, not so great rapper The Game tweeted a phone number that his followers should call about getting a music internship. The number was the Compton Sheriff's office, which was unsurprisingly bombarded with calls. After a little more shittalking, The Game decided to apologize on CNN: "My sincerest apologies to the Sheriff's Department.... It was a joke gone wrong." He then blamed the "mishap" on a friend and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department accepted. Oh God, is it still August?
