♦ 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.

♦ 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.
