Chick-fil-A

So who digs this fast food chain?

(People lined up in Hollywood, waiting for some free Chick-fil-A once they open their doors for the first time.)

A Chick-fil-A just opened up yesterday in Hollywood and is already sparking a protest and it has nothing to do with PETA. Here's a little backstory.

This restaurant is known to have strong Christian values. They're closed on Sundays and have even been nicknamed, Jesus Chicken. Chick-fil-A has also been known to allegedly base their hiring standards on someone's church affiliation and marital status, according to Time.

Now back to the protest. Chick-fil-A is known to donate campaign contributions to anti-gay politcians. Although the restaurant has denied they are anti-gay and in fact say they value all people, this isn't stopping pro-equality peeps from staging a protest tomorrow (Saturday), according to TMZ.

Be there or be chicken... get it? Yeah, we suck.

Riot On Hollywood Boulevard


Usually, a movie premiere on Hollywood Boulevard does cause some chaos with blocked streets, gatherers gathering, stars and their handlers walking red carpets but this is not what happened yesterday at the premiere of "Electric Daisy Carnival Experience." A documentary featuring electronic music popular at raves, created major pandemonium due to an immense crowd showing up that got way out of hand. DJ Kaskade, a performer featured in the movie, invited fans to a 6pm block party (on Hollywood Blvd) via tweet saying, “ME+BIG SPEAKERS+MUSIC=BLOCK PARTY!!!” Around 6:30pm is when shit hit the fan.

A cop got on a loudspeaker talling fans they had 5 minutes to leave the premises and at that moment, some dancers arrived and excited the crowd, dancing so hard, that the cop nor his car could take it anymore which resulted in him driving off, as reported by the LA Times.

Chief Executive Pasquale Rotella of Insomniac Inc (the company behind "Electic Daisy Carnival") tweeted that he could not get to his own shindig sarcastically saying, “What genius organized the street party!” then “I’m pretty bummed.” At the time, guess Rotella (also the name of a canned good) didn't realize it was one of his feature acts in his movie that's to blame.

Although Kaskade later tweeted, “EVERYONE CHILL NOW!!! The block party has officially been shut down! BUT THIS IS TOO CRAZY AND WE NEED TO BE SAFE!”... “I AM REALLY CONCERNED FOR EVERYONES SAFETY AT THIS POINT! PLEASE RELAX”... “EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO HOME NOW!” You'd think since his fans listened to the tweet to show up they would listen to the tweet to leave, but NOPE.

Around 15 officers showed up to get the crowd the hell out of dodge but the crowd didn't leave. Instead they gathered around the cops. About 15-30 minutes later, the ccps tried to push the crowd toward a street off of Hollywood Blvd and was somewhat successful with some but that is also when others in the crowd jumped a cop car breaking the windshield. Police then shot off nonlethal beanbags to try to get the crowd to leave however many in the crowd ran back to Hollywood Blvd.

Within a 2 hour span, the crowd eventually left. Cops arrested only a few people for f-ing up the cop car and failure to disperse.

I wonder how the city feels about cutting some of the funding toward law enforcement.

American Idol Tuesdays

Did you watch the hopefuls audition in Hollywood tonight? Who should've gotten the boot and who should've stayed?

I'll just say the guy who made those faces did not have a bad voice... attitude hmm yeah but voice... I guess they felt his face is not something that could have gotten better throughout the competition.

One More Thing About Paris and Benji...

Trust me, i have no idea why I am writing this much about Paris and Benji, but they are the latest casualty of breaking up due to, "being too busy/work getting in the way," right? This goes for other "celeb couples" that break up for this reason. What I do not get is how do they have time to hit Hollywood hotspots?
