I need a dog.
You can not walk in Beverly Hills without one. People will give you the stink eye and the 24/7 circling Po Po will stare you down. Pity that my landlord will not allow pets. It would be amazing if I could rent one. Case in point:

This post is not about the upcoming Ryan Gosling movie. Although I am looking forward to seeing Ryan in any movie these days. This is about an obscure 1928 film directed by Raoul Walsh called Me, Gangster. The films’ release coincided with the coming of sound and so a synchronized soundtrack was added to the [...]
A couple of weeks ago I saw Russell Brand perform. He was hilarious. And brilliant. Equally impressive was the magnificent theatre I was sitting in: the Wiltern Theatre located on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Western Avenue in Los Angeles.

Swanson wrote all of her dialogue in the film and in the scene regarding Lombard, Gloria Swanson’s PA [...]
26 new pictures of Carole Lombard have been added to the Photo Archives. A couple of candids, a few lobby cards, and more pretty portraits like the one below.
