The Historic Photos of Los Angeles
By Dana Lombardy.
First Contact: Admiral
Final Score: Captain
The good people at Turner Publishing, sent me a copy of this coffee table book.The picture book shows, a visual history of the City Of Angeles- that starts from the city's tar-pit beginnings to just past Watts Riots and the first Superbowl.
Lombardy does a great job of hitting the reader- with breezy, but well researched factoids,while letting the photos (some of them rare and once-in-a-lifetime shots) speaks for themselves.
For example, there is a photo of a bunch of cops around the 1920s, including few African-Americans, which as Lombardy states which was indicative of- the pride of largest minority of that time, which would continue til the early 90s.
Also, there is a roll call of cowgirl beauties- who engaged in a shooting event during the 1950s. Lastly, there's a early '60s shot- of strong and half-naked JFK (while president) blatantly scoping out a bikini babe,while taking a swim at the beach.
The book should be a must read for historians, or people into local culture,which this book proves for those of us that live here in L.A., have one.

Young Jack Taylor- is currently writing a thank you note- to Capt. Jack Sparrow for keeping his promise. Deep was in Wisconsin (back in April),to film a biopic on anti-hero '30s bank thief, John Dillinger. Neighborhood residents got to witness the filming, including Mr. Taylor, "who especially admired Depp/Dillinger's
hat."
So, the young man asked the thespian- could he have the fedora hat. Depp, 45, stated that Taylor would receive it "once the movie was finished."
Seven days ago, a local Wisconsin newspaper (the Northwestern) confirmed Tom 21 Jump St. Hansen "made good on his promise" and the boy received man's hat.
Deep also included prizes for the boy's four relatives,
"from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as a note from
the star himself, telling Jack to enjoy what was sent."

BRITNEY SPEARS BEATS VEHICULAR ASSAULT CHARGE.
LAPD stated that NO charges will be filled against Britney Spears- for using her car, to run over a photog's foot, as she driving away from a pack of paps.
The victim filed a report- half year after the occurrence. The cops claim, there's was NO legal way to win with video evidence provided.
Joseph Shidler, deputy district attorney, noted:"We have no evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was aware that the victim's foot had been struck by the car. There was much commotion and noise at the time and
there is no proof that the suspect was aware of what had happened."
Also, the police report indicated that "a voice on the
video told her to back up" and no proof of that is on the tape either.
The Prosecutor showed in the Internet video, no physical damage to the pap's foot.
Shidler concludes that "the only way the victim's foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location."
