Netflix Poised to Buy Radford Studio Lot at Auction for Steep Discount

Nine months after lenders repossessed the historic Radford Studio Center lot from Hackman Capital Partners, the property is headed to auction. Janelle James Does Not Go to Trader Joe's Anymore -- She's Famous Netflix had been in talks to buy the 55-acre Studio City lot from Goldman Sachs-led lenders for as much as $400 million, a fraction of the $1.85 billion Hackman paid for it in 2021. The deal was expected to close earlier this year, though the deadline passed without a sale. Now, Radford is going on the block. A foreclosure auction is scheduled for Nov. 24 in Pomona, according to a notice recorded in Los Angeles County. The lenders are looking for an estimated $1.3 billion — roughly the amount of debt tied to the property — though the final purchase price will likely come in far below that figure as production levels in Los Angeles hover around historic lows. The expectation is for Netflix to come out of the auction as the top bidder, giving the entertainment giant ownership of a major Los Angeles production campus. “The deal is progressing on the agreed upon timetable and with the agreed upon sets of milestone dates,” says a Netflix

Meet the Readers Turning Santa Monica Sidewalks Into a Book Club

SANTA MONICA - Generation Z has gained a reputation as the online generation seeking offline connection. Young entrepreneurs Samantha Dockser and Morgan Messing are using social media to bring people outside through their walking book clubs. Preoccupied LA is the duo's hub for weekly book event roundups and their signature monthly book clubs on Instagram and Substack. Since launching in 2024, the platform has gained thousands of followers and expanded to include 12 book club chapters across the U.S. and Canada. Dockser and Messing met shortly before forming Preoccupied. Messing's author-focused social media company Logue Social, of which Dockser is now a partner, hosted an event and invited Dockser, who has her own social media following as a book influencer. The two hit it off and became friends, bonding over the fact that there appeared to be no centralized resource for finding book events. "There are so many book events," said Dockser, "and we were just feeling frustrated that we couldn't Google a place that would list all of them for a week." Preoccupied was their solution. As their community grew, the pair realized that they had created a group of people who might be interested in an event of

It's ‘Harvest Festival' time at LA County Parks, and admission is free

There's a sweet and easygoing road between Halloween and Thanksgiving, a route that contains some of the mellowest and most golden days on the calendar. You might not always need a sweater during these warmer LA days, nor even your coziest pair of socks, but early November can put images of pumpkins in your mind, and critters gathering acorns, and colorful leaves, even here in Southern California where palm trees are the arboreal icons.

Gram Parsons celebrated in song by Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello on eve of his Rock Hall induction

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Joy and sorrow were in harmony at a musical tribute to Gram Parsons , the country-rocker who on Saturday will enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 53 years after his death at age 26. At the legendary Los Angeles-area Troubadour club, Parsons’ songs as a member of the Byrds , as a founder of the Flying Burrito Brothers and as a solo artist essential to rock's early 1970s turn toward country were performed Wednesday night by Elvis Costello , Sheryl Crow , the Black Crowes and, most important by far, Emmylou Harris . In a partnership that lasted less than two years, Parsons and Harris combined to create some of the most heartaching harmonies ever recorded. Then he died from an overdose in 1973. Before she sang a song many consider the pinnacle of that partnership, “Love Hurts,” with Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Harris said, “Gram taught me this one. We did it a lot of times.” Then she added, quietly as if to herself, “But not enough.” Harris, who had been an unknown folk singer when Parsons met her at a club in Washington, D.C., had thought she'd

Fritz Coleman – Great Fun In His Third Year as the Longest-Running Solo Show in the History of the El Portal

One of the things about living in Los Angeles is bumping into people that the rest of the country only see on screen. Years ago, I went up an elevator in West LA with Dustin Hoffman and politely thanked him for his amazing performance in “Death of a Salesman” on Broadway years earlier. More recently, we saw Jay Leno in Hermosa Beach doing an impressive stand-up routine.

SNL pokes fun at LA mayor election. What happened?

Saturday Night Live cast a spotlight on the Los Angeles mayoral election in its latest episode. “Nithya Raman, democratic socialist, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. That’s right,” Michael Che, co-host of Weekend Update said. “Because LA is always a year behind us on every trend.” The quip got some cheers during Weekend Update’s roundup of major headlines coming out of the midterms, including that top aide Stephen Miller was tapped to be White House chief of staff. Raman has garnered comparisons with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for their democratic socialist ties throughout the race. Mamdani, who earned the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America New York City chapter, was sworn into office at the start of the year. “I’m LA’s Nithya Raman,” Raman said when asked if she’s the city’s Mamdani in an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson . The progressive Los Angeles city councilmember defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass with 55% of the vote, according to the latest Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk results. County elections officials are scheduled to certify election results on Nov. 27. It is the first time since 2005 that an incumbent Los Angeles mayor has lost. “Here in Los Angeles,
