Growing up in Louisiana, Dana Gourrier — who plays Odessa “Bird” Clay, the mother of Muhammad Ali in Prime Video’s new series “The Greatest” — watched her parents navigate segregation firsthand. Now, she brings to life a woman who helped shape one of the most influential figures of the 20th century
The New Orleans native, whose credits include Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” and “The Hateful Eight,” explains how she pieced together Bird’s story, exploring the experiences of Black women in the 1960s and portraying the complexities of Ali’s family life.
Gourrier's portrayal brings closer look at the woman behind the legend and the sacrifices, strength and devotion that helped shape Muhammad Ali.

Costumed Angelenos poured into The Victorian in for Halloween to say their final goodbyes to the tri-level, multi-room restaurant and club, this past weekend, Oct. 30 and 31.
The Main St. mainstay brought in its regular weekend post-college party crowd, who danced, stumbled, made out, and laughed, then eventually dumped into the surrounding square and sidewalk en masse once the lights came on, where they lingered and tried to get that last contact for about an hour more.
The closure marks the end of an era for the property, which dates back to 1892, relocated to Heritage Square in 1973, and began its restaurant and nightlife concept in 2010.
City officials have approved a plan to transform the city-owned estate into The Santa Monican, a family-oriented membership club that will include a pool, spa, fitness facilities, a restaurant, and spaces for kids. Renovations are expected to begin later this year, with a reopening targeted for mid-2028.

On October 16 at Ace Mission Studios, a sold-out Los Angeles crowd gathered for the release of Sara Landry’s second album “Divine Intervention” on her own label HEKATE. She still had a few minutes left, so she reached for her friend Alt8’s edit of “Sweet Nothing,” climbed onto the decks, and danced.
Landry mixed the 14-track record herself, tested the songs in secret as unannounced IDs, and kept the masters. Fully independent, she says the album largely decided its own shape — a progression through hard bounce, psytechno, and psytrance that starts in one place and ends in another.
That same sense of connection runs through how she talks about the music. “My relationship with the divine is very strong,” she said. Fans leaving the room reached for the same language: church, something that lifts you up.
Los Angeles has been part of the story since her first show outside Texas in 2021. Latino fans have long shown up in force for her sets. Her own roots reach into Mexico City through her grandmother, and she keeps a folder of Latin techno tracks ready for the right moment.

Fleurs de Villes THE GILDED AGE brings the HBO series’ lavish fashion and memorable characters to life through floral mannequins at the historic Greystone Mansion and Gardens in Beverly Hills.
“Hundreds of hours go into one model,” says Fleurs de Villes founder Karen Marshall.
More than a dozen local florists transformed thousands of fresh blooms, tropical leaves and preserved botanicals into intricate portraits of the show’s cast, including Bertha Russell, Peggy Scott and Mrs. Astor. Even the hair is made entirely from botanical materials.
The exhibition winds through the mansion’s historic rooms and terrace, complete with a floral staircase worthy of the Russell family. Best in Show went to Bloom Bloom Floral Boutique’s Bertha Russell design.
The exhibition runs through Nov. 4.

LA’s speed cameras are live, so we built an overlay with each location that you can add directly to your Google Maps app in full detail.
On Monday, Oct. 26, the city switched on the first 26 of 125 camera corridors, and the rest are set to go up by the end of the year.
We mapped every monitored stretch of road, with live cameras in red and the ones coming soon in purple. It’s free, and you can add it to Google Maps on your phone or computer in about a minute.
For now they only send warnings. After each camera’s 60-day grace period, going 11+ mph over the limit will cost you $50 to $500, mailed to the car’s registered owner. Be sure to always drive safe and within the speed limit.

Bryson Tiller brought his Neo Trapsoul World Tour to Inglewood’s Intuit Dome last night, Oct. 25.
@austinmillz and @tydollasign kicked off the evening, with Ty Dolla bringing out @jasonderulo and @wizkhalifa. R&B duo @majidjordan followed with a performance alongside @naomisharon before Tiller took the stage to close out the night with fan favorites “Don’t” and “Exchange.”
The 61-date global tour celebrates the legacy of Tiller’s debut album, “T R A P S O U L,” which marked its 11th anniversary last month. The Grammy-nominated artist is entering a new chapter following the release of his latest single, “IT’S OK,” with more music on the way.

Ten years of filth, horror and glamour, and the Boulet Brothers are still raising hell. Before “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” became a global phenomenon, Dracmorda and Swanthula Boulet built their following in Los Angeles’ underground queer nightlife scene, launching a horror-infused drag pageant at the now-defunct Faultline leather bar in Silver Lake.
Now, with Season 7 premiering Oct. 27 on Shudder and AMC+, the Emmy-nominated horror hosts are celebrating a decade of exterminations and gloriously twisted television. The new season channels the grainy VHS aesthetic of ’80s horror, with campground massacres, Troma-inspired challenges and a soundtrack featuring Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Ministry.
And their legendary LA Halloween Ball returns for its 26th year, still built on that same DIY spirit that once turned egg beaters and fans into animatronics overnight. With @impoppy headlining, it’ll be killer — all proving the Boulet Brothers have no plans to rest in peace.

From haunted military barracks to a Louisiana pet cemetery with a chilling past, these historical ghost stories remain mysteries.
At Fort Tejon State Historic Park in Lebec, paranormal investigator and author Marie Mason returns Oct. 24 to lead ghost tours and investigations across six locations. Visitors will get hands-on with ghost-hunting equipment while exploring legends of spirits said to linger around the historic grounds, including the grave of Peter Lebec, the town’s namesake.
Meanwhile, HBO’s “The Pet Cemetery Murders: A Ghost Story” revisits the 1985 killing of Dorothy Thompson, a Louisiana pet cemetery owner whose murder went unsolved. Decades later, lost evidence, reports of a ghostly encounter and a psychic’s depiction of a possible suspect add unsettling twists to the case.

“God Loves You” graffiti pieces have appeared on freeways, underpasses and street corners across Los Angeles, joining a growing movement of Christian graffiti that puts scripture front and center.
We spoke with four longtime LA graffiti writers — VOX, JER33R, WES 77 and HIPPIE — who share how faith helped share their lives and their art. All are members of ISI Crew, short for Iron Sharpens Iron, a collective that brings together artists committed to spreading the gospel through graffiti. The crew also requires members to paint only on legal walls or with property owners’ permission.
For VOX, a series of major health scares prompted a reconsideration of what he wanted his art to represent. JER33R found tranquility in surrendering his life to Jesus, while WES 77 returned to painting after stepping away from graffiti’s darker side. HIPPIE’s son’s extraordinary medical journey deepened his sense of divine protection.

Alex Lewis has spent fall 2026 performing eight shows a week in “Slam Frank,” the provocative and hilarious hip-hop musical in New York. Lewis plays Peter van Daan — a nonbinary dancer invented by a fictional progressive theater company that decides the original Anne Frank story centers too many privileged white European Jews.
He’s also a producer on the show, which gets huge laughs, plus some controversy and audience walkouts. Lewis is also one-third of Lewberger, the LA comedy band that built a following through viral songs, America’s Got Talent and an Off-Broadway musical.
A Jewish Angeleno who grew up in Calabasas, Lewis says working on “Slam Frank” changed his relationship with Judaism. We caught up with the self-described “unwitting theater geek” as he gave us the deep dive on the show and growing up in the Jewel of the Southland.
