Finding NIMO (and Pierce and Halle and...)

Veronique de Turenne Bio • Email

Not in my ocean - the unaninous feeling at the anti-liquefied natural gas protest hosted by our leading local anti-LNG luminary, Pierce Brosnan.

Hundreds of Malibu locals attended a pancake breakfast on the pier, joined by celebs like Halle Berry, Ted Danson, Cindy Crawford, Dick Van Dyke, Tea Leone and Jane Seymour. Just yards away on scenic Surfrider Beach, hundreds more, including Laird Hamilton, Minnie Driver, Daryl Hannah and Gabrielle Reece, took to the waves in a traditional paddle-out.

A news story here. More pix (my paparazzi moment) after the jump.

Innovation chief Abrams not too impressed with Times

Lee Abrams, Tribune Company's chief innovation officer, doesn’t seem too impressed with the Los Angeles Times. That’s the feeling I got when he appeared at the Los Angeles Press Club.
