First thing Monday, 11.28.05
Nearly a dozen posts made their way onto the blog during the so-called holiday break, including the first (exclusive) list of which familiar names look to be leaving the L.A. Times during the current buyout-slash-purge. Scroll down to catch up. But first:
| Today's front pages |
| New York Times See/Read Washington Post See/Read LA Times See/Read Daily News See/Read Daily Breeze See/Read Press-Telegram See/Read Register See/Read Star-News Read Variety Read Hwd Reporter Read La Opinión Read |
♦ The Firm's Jeff Kwatinetz dissed Jennifer Lopez by not showing up for two meetings he set up, Page Six says.
♦ Art blogger Tyler Green, who lives in the East, cracks the Times op-ed page today to excoriate LACMA for not saving the art in its parking garage, doomed to be razed on Thursday. CityBeat's Mick Farren also has an op-ed piece.
♦ Mayor Villaraigosa hurried back from the Hawaiian wedding celebration for Speaker Fabian Nunez to ride in the Hollywood Christmas parade, and this morning at 8 am he will finally appear on KABC's Doug McIntyre show after delicate negotiations that Rick Orlov explains in the Daily News. Villaraigosa is still just a councilman on McIntyre's website. Also from Orlov: Villaraigosa's union troubles, plus Herb Wesson and Jose Huizar should make their City Council debuts this week.
♦ Metroblogging has added Miami and Dubai, giving them 37 cities including L.A.
♦ The Daily News looks in on the empire of (and controversy around) San Fernando developer and newspaper publisher Severyn Aszkenazy, "the son of a Polish Jew and a Mexican-American mother who raised him alone on Pacoima's rough streets" and who is sometimes called the man who owns half of San Fernando.
♦ Why there's still no dancing in Westwood Village.
♦ BoifromTroy dubs Encino Homeowners president Gerald Silver Mr. Gridlock for his stance against widening the 405.
And also, Monday's usual selective look back at the week that came before:
