Is it possible to explain the magnificence of Jazzfest through words and photographs?

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (www.nojazzfest.com/) takes place every year over two weekends, always occurring the last weekend of April and the first weekend of May. It has been going on for 41 years, and in my opinion is the greatest collection of live music, food, culture, and joy that occurs in one place on planet earth. Read More »

It was a wild night in Westwood on Monday, November 16, as the premiere of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" swept into the Mann Village Theatre.

And they were not disappointed, as teen heartthrobs Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, and the rest of the "New Moon" stars all basked in the adulation, posing for pics, joking with the crowd, and even bestowing a smooch or two on their delighted fans. Our Christina Radish was there in the thick of it, and got some fantastic shots of the vampires, werewolves, and the humans who love them. The film opens everywhere Friday, November 20, 2009 (www.newmoonthemovie.com/). But you knew that already, didn't you? Read More »
