The internet (or internets, if you're George Bush) has helped change the way news gets reported. Take for example, R. Scott Moxley's story on Los Angeles County Sheriff's Commander and candidate for Orange County Sheriff Ralph Martin's call for Mike Carona's immediate resignation. On Thursday at a press conference on the steps of the old county courthouse in Santa Ana, Martin denounced Sheriff Carona for his relationship with a Vegas mob associate and other wise guy-friendly types. "This is unac
Crazy animals have begun invading Long Beach by sea and land.
Yesterday, a six-foot female blue shark was spotted swimming in circles near docked boats at the Marina Pacifica. The shark was in good health except a for a fishing hook and line hanging from its mouth. Marine workers were forced to scoop up the shark with a giant net and release it back into the ocean before it could confuse any innocent byswimmers. No rescue workers were harmed in the transportation process.
The revolt continued
Debbie Carona wants out: On Halloween day, the Weekly sat in a crowded Santa Ana courtroom and watched the odd trio of sheriff, wife and mistress twitching as they sat cuffed and in uncomfortably close quarters. Debbie Carona sat a lawyer away from her hubby and did not so much as look at him the entire time, though she seemed obsessed with the room's double doors. That chick wanted out and by George, she's working on it. Peggy Lowe at the Register reports that Mrs. Carona has asked that prosec

The star of tonight's American Idol eighth (I know, only eight?) season premiere of American Idol is surely Katrina Darrell, already known the world over as "Bikini Girl." That clever nickname is derived from the fact that she wore a bikini to the audition, which seems to be the only reason she made it through despite a subpar version of Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love."Anyway, even though the auditions shown were shot in Phoenix, she's actually from Chino Hills (according to no less a source tha
College Hospital in Costa Mesa just became on of the most charitable hospitals around, but not out of its own goodwill. As part of a settlement agreement in a lawsuit filed by the LA City Attorney's office against College Hospitals in Costa Mesa and Cerritos for their egregious patient dumping schemes, the two facilities will pay $1.2 million to a handful of charities in LA that work with the homeless and $400,00 in penalties. A year ago when it was revealed that the hospital might be involved i

Once upon a time, there were two Beard Papa's in Orange County. Now there are none.

Last week, as reported by Weekly contributor and Chowhound Professor Salt, the very first Beard Papa's in Orange County inside the Marukai Market has also shuttered.
