Support the "LA Clean Sweep" campaign to end corruption at City Hall by electing candidates who will serve the public interest -- not special interests. For too long, concerned residents throughout Los Angeles have fought their own separate battles against the powerful forces that run City Hall and control our elected officials. The city's financial crisis, cuts in core services, layoffs of city workers, selling valuable assets, massive subsidies to insiders -- we have reached the point of no return. Only you can save LA. Join the Clean Sweep campaign and come together with people from all over the city to make a difference. Get more information on volunteering your time or contributing to at lacleansweep.com http://lacleansweep.com or contact me at ron@ronkayela.com..
This Sunday, Aug. 29, LA Clean Sweep will provide training sessions from professional politicial consultants to help you become a more effective activist and help candidates mount successful campaigns in the March 2011 or future elections. The sessions will be held at the Mayflower Club, 11110 Victory Blvd., North Hollywood. The morning session from 9 a.m. to noon is for activists; the afternoon session from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. is for potential candidates. Lunch will be provided to all participants at noon.

He would have shown up if Osama Bin Laden was helping light the tree.
LOL! Oh dear, this one made me laugh a lot.
I don't mean to be sarcastic---really---but could there be a more inopportune time to open a big thing where Angelenos can spend money in L.A.? I heard on the radio today that the national unemployment rate is at 6.7%, and that doesn't even include those people who used to be full-time workers but now can only work part-time.
There are two L.A.s, aren't there? One half can afford to go to places like this. The other half can afford to watch all this spectacle on TV and shake their heads in wonder and confusion....
And is Brittney supposed to be representative of life in L.A. for the young, or the young professionals, or the young moms who live here? I feel so sorry for her because she can't figure out what else to do with her life but be an imitation of Marilyn Monroe or Madonna.
In my opinion, she's someone who wants to be a Mouseketeer forever. She tried being married, it was too real. She tried being a mom and that was too real also. So now she has gone back to what her handlers want her to do because it makes them rich, and what she's familiar with because it's all she's learned how to do.
Somewhere along the line someone thought it would be a good idea to exault this image of "togetherness" and "wealth" to the people of Southern California who are supposed to be so inspired by this young, tragic woman that we go flocking to L.A. Live for dinner?
What demographic was this aimed at? I dunno. I guess I'm just old and old-fashioned. I don't get it.
this is unbelievable--how out of touch can this dying city be? at least the switch says ON/OFF so these vapid morons would know which way to turn it. gosh, LA LIVE, what a wonderful, pretty inviting place destined to make LA the cultural capital of the universe--ha ha ha
it's an orgy of logos, lasers and shoddy craftsmanship--why not erect a status on the WALK OF CHAMPIONS to Fabian Nunez? Or better, his murdering, gang member son? Celebrate the best LA has to offer, I say!
This picture shows a real "meeting of the minds"!
Opening another monument to materialistic overindulgence (and the perfect representatives to do so), with restaurants, stores & clubs so overpriced that the average City citizen will never be able to afford to go there.
This is our new icon of culture?
I didn't realize that Britney Spears was so short.
The mayor could not avoid another two minutes Hall of SHAME photo opportunity.
They look good together "wouldn't nobody know a loser like that but another loser"
