Bling Ring Bad Boys and Girls
Facing a possible 6 years in state prison for her role in the burglary of Orlando Bloom's home, Bling Ring teen Alexis Nelers agreed to a plea deal that includes a 6 month jail sentence, hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution and three years probation. Later in the week, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge rejected a bid by alleged bling ring leader Nicholas Prugo to force prosecutors to give him a favorable plea deal in exchange for his cooperation.
Ralphs Supermarket
Los Angeles County Officials Tuesday charged Ralphs Supermarket Chain with overcharging customers, false advertising, and false labeling. A company spokesperson assured the press that any discrepancies were unintentional. Ralphs was scrutinized for similar practices in 2000 and 2008.
LA Foodies
Although they can drown their sorrows with a Stormy Weather (black rum, fresh lime, ginger syrup and soda) or console themselves with the Steak Frites at his cozy bistro Comme CA, LA foodies are loosing a good one this week with the closing of David Meyer's Sona, the fashionable La Cienega restaurant with devoted fans and a Michelin star.
