• Questions about the Montage Resort Killings in Laguna

  Initial media reports about Sunday's improbable double killing at a ritzy Laguna Beach resort didn't mention who did the killing. Call me jaded, but that's odd. Always pause when journalists fail to provide answers to the basics: Who? What? When? Where? How? In this case, the Who? and the How? were missing or wrong. Oops. Based on Sgt. Jason Kravetz, a Laguna Beach police spokesman, first reports in the Orange County Register suggested that a "wild . . . crazy" married couple may have perished

• Monday's Haul

  Save our gay bar: Gay activists are reaching out to George Clooney and Brad Pitt, asking that the actors buy Laguna Beach's Boom Boom Room—which is on its way to becoming a boutique hotel. Darn it: The Daily Pilot just snagged itself a new managing editor. We're still turning over rocks for one over here. Stabbing suspect arrested: A suspect in a three-person slashing at Dana Point was arrested in Long Beach yesterday night, reports the Times. Paris checks in early: Scared and stripp

• Ask a Mexican Wins Same Award As Brad Pitt!

  Buried deep in the pages of something called the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer was an Associated Press dispatch revealing that your favorite wab is amongst the winners of this year's Civies, an award given out by the Americans for More Civility, a group of exactly two people. In announcing my honor, the organization said that the Mexican "offered something novel to the immigration debate: a few laughs ..." Other winners this year included retired Supreme Court judge Sandra Day O'Connor and Brad Pit

• What you missed over the weekend: Part X

  Cobra Starship landed at the Pomona Glass House Friday night for the closest-to-OC leg of their "Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking Tour." Christopher Victorio caught the main act and support band Metro Station (but missed out on We The Kings and The Cab, also on tour with Cobra). The venue was packed, and some fans brought their Cobra Starship action figures along for the ride. Photos here. Saturday took OCW intern and Cal State Fulleron student Nate Jackson to the L.A. Convention Center

• Loathe Those Angels

  Orange County Register Angels Blogster Todd Harmonson wonders why no one outside Angel Stadium seems to notice that our Halos have the best record in baseball. He even has a poll asking which front-burner sports stories--including Brett Favre's on-again, off-again retirement, the yet-to-begin Olympics and "anything about the Lakers"--should be pushed aside in favor of Los Angeles of Anaheim coverage. But another poll may answer why the Angels can't bust into national sports consciousness. Richa

Not just celebrities from surfing, but music and movie people, real celebrities. Makes sense. We've got lots of celebrities. We've got lots of beach houses. Celebrities love (and can afford) beach houses. Two weeks ago, someone reported actor Aaron Eckhart shortboarding at Sano. Supposedly Brad Pitt has paddled out at Veni
