Folks In Los Angeles Having The Most Sex, Folks In Philly, The Best

Ami AngelowiczJune 21, 2011 //

A new sex survey conveniently sponsored by Trojan found that people in Los Angeles are getting busy more often than the rest of us. According to the survey, Angelinos do it about 135 times a year, while the rest of us poor cads only get laid about 120 times a year. They also scored the highest in sexual adventurousness. I’m not impressed. We all would be more sexually adventurous if it was 75 degrees and sunny every day where we lived. Anyhow, don’t be too jealous of those highly sexed Angelinos. They were found to be the biggest fakers — of orgasms that is. Sigh. Actors. And their satisfaction level was not ranked number one. That prize goes to the people of Philly, who were found to do it less often, but enjoy it more. It’s quality, not quantity, right? Ring that Liberty Bell! [LA Times] Keep reading »

Alex Pettyfer Has A Bad Attitude, A “Thank You” Tattoo Over His Penis

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comApril 28, 2011 //

His last name may sound a lot like “petit four,” but “Beastly” and “I Am Number Four” star Alex Pettyfer is far from sweet and sugary on the inside. First there were the rumors of vicious phone threats he made toward ex Dianna Agron. And his new interview in VMAN magazine doesn’t do much for his rep. In it, Alex says that he has a tattoo positioned above his member that reads “Thank You.” Which … gross. And he also had some pretty nasty things to say about Los Angeles and acting.

“Being an actor is like being in prison,” he said. Keep reading »

Josh Radnor Says Women Are Just More Alluring In New York

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comMarch 16, 2011 //

“New York and L.A. both have a lot of beautiful women, but in New York that beautiful woman will be reading a book. That, to me, is intensely sexy. If I was going to live in L.A., it would be on the condition that I not sell my soul in order to do that. I deliberately moved to a house that felt away from everything—until a girl from ‘The Hills’ moved next door. The paparazzi were always there and I kept wishing they’d leave. Then she moved.”

—Josh Radnor of “How I Met Your Mother” answers the age old question of whether the women are hotter in New York or Los Angeles. Man, I knew I loved this guy for a reason. [Playboy] Keep reading »

You Know You Want To Look Inside Lady Gaga’s Manor

Bianca PosterliJuly 7, 2010 //

Just a few years ago, Stefani Germanotta was living in a small apartment in New York City while working hard to make it in the music business. These days, she’s headlining Madison Square Garden, capriciously writing on Birkin bags with Sharpies, and strutting around in Alexander McQueen heels. But that’s not all. When Lady Gaga isn’t on the road entertaining her little monsters, she’s chilling in some majorly spacious digs — her six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion in Bel-Air! Talk about a lifestyle change. And though she’s experienced some money issues in the past, having already reported losses of about $3 million dollars, Gaga clearly can’t put a lock on her expenses, and is shelling out $25,000 a month for her brand-new house. The gorgeous property spans about 6,143 square feet, boasts a gate, marble floors, curved staircase, huge pool and a gourmet kitchen. Hopefully, her good luck and fame continues in order to keep up with the spending habit she’s acquired. Check out another photo, after the jump … [Real Estalker] Keep reading »

Hugh Hefner Saves The Hollywood Sign And Subsequently, The World

adminApril 27, 2010 //

We all know that Hugh Hefner is an American hero, but now he’s gone even further by single-handedly (kinda) saving the Hollywood sign! The land around the sign is known as Cahuenga Park and was originally owned by Howard Hughes who wanted to build a house for Ginger Rogers there. Then he sold it to some Chicago-based developers who wanted to build luxury homes or a new hotel, but offered to sell the 138 acres to Los Angeles if they could round up $12.5 million in a week. Lots of Angelenos, studios, and actors gave money but they were still $1 million short until Hef fronted $900,000 … on top of what he’d already donated, to finalize the deal. The Trust for Public Land has donated Cahuenga Peak to the Los Angeles park system. Thank goodness! I can’t imagine living in Hollywood without the Hollywood sign—it makes me blissfully happy every time I see it. And I would have had to find a new clichéd make out spot. [NPR] Keep reading »

People Fight For Their 90210 Zip Code

Nikki DowlingAugust 11, 2009 //

Did you know that the zip code 90210 actually covers a section of Los Angeles, not Beverly Hills? Yeah, we didn’t either, but it turns out the actual zip codes for Beverly Hills proper are 90211 and 90212. This confuses the Los Angeles police and fire departments. The power of ’90s television nostalgia is so strong that when they’d get a call from a 90210 zip code, they’d ignore it because they thought it was the Beverly Hills department’s responsibility. Beverly Hills city councilman John Mirisch tried to make things simpler for everyone and proposed that the community switch their 90210 zip code. Residents said: “Hell no!” They voted four-to-one against it. I wonder if the protest was as big as when West Beverly’s principal said Donna Martin couldn’t walk at graduation because she was caught drinking at prom. “Donna Martin Graduates!” [LA Times] Keep reading »
