The plot thickens as more information is revealed about the teens who robbed such celebrities as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. The 'gang' was led by 18-year-old Nicholas "Nick" Prugo and 19-year-old Rachel Jungeon Lee. The crime of the century? Nah. These bling bandits were apparently just after designer clothing (and drugs) belonging to their favorite celebs.

If the story couldn't get any more shallow or gross, TMZ is now reporting that the teen robbers used their gossip site to figure out where celebrities lived. You would think that that might make you rethink the contents of your website but, it's TMZ after all...

As the story goes, most of the stars didn't even bother to lock their doors, giving the young criminals easy access. This totally reminds me of an 'open house' I shared with roommates in Beachwood Canyon. It ultimately got robbed as well. The celebrity thieves' next victim was apparently going to be--gasp--none other than Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) of The Princess Bride.

It appears Prugo may have also been pursuing a (child) acting career based on this IMDB page. Looks like TMZ and other tabloids are prepared to give him that with all the continued coverage.

Nightlife in LA has been at its creative pinnacle in recent years, in my humble opinion--mixing all different kinds of entertainment and settings for a more unique experience. In that same vein, this Wednesday, a new weekly nightlife event, The Lucent Dossier Experience, launches at H.Wood.

The Lucent Dossier Experience is known to tour venues performing with a live band, singers, aerialists, dancers, acrobats, jesters, clowns, burlesque dancers, stilt-walkers, contortionists and so on creating an interactive spectacular.

Their weekly hedonistic happening will include a rose water foot bath along with the usual DJ sets and dancing (sounds like a great way to reward yourself for some fancy footwork!). In true LA fashion, there will be aura readings and cleansing herbal elixirs. They've also promised a couple of other enigmatic, wait-and-see highlights such as the "Post Portal Post Office" and the "Sweet Teddy Bear Tea Party."

Doors open at 8 p.m. and the 21 and over revelry runs until 2 a.m. The shows are set to run betwen 9 p.m. and midnight. Cost of entrance is $15.

Tomorrow, Saturday, all you would-be 'Barflies' will get the chance to spend the evening at Vroman's Bookstore, Charles Bukowksi-style. At 7 p.m. the Pasadena retailer will host a celebration of the nomadic fringe South LA writer's work and life. This will consist of a slide presentation--of Bukowski's life through photos-- by the Huntington Library's lead archivist and curator of literary manuscripts Sue Hodson. Also on-hand: John Dullagahn, director of the documentary Bokowski: Born into This. LA poetess Linda Lee Bukowski (wife of the late scribe) will read from a new book about the Barfly's life: The Continual Condition.

Home and food are the core building blocks of life. On Saturday, from 12:00-6 p.m. the Mak Center for Art and Architecture (at the Schindler House in W. Hollywood) will present a free day, focused on both of these basic themes.

The activities launch at noon. First up on the day's agenda is a graphic workshop (with community nutrition advocacy group Project Food/LA) in preparation for the Edible Endeavors Convention. Participants will get the chance to lend their creative hands, fashioning 'foodie flyers, posters and banners.'

At 1 p.m. visitors will get a walk-through of the Otto Neurath/Gypsy Urbanism exhibit with guest curator and architectural critic and theorist Nader Vossoghian.

A panel discussion focusing on exhibition strategies will be moderated by MAK Center director Kimberli Meyer at 2:30 p.m. Panelists include designers, historians, artists and architects.

Finally, the day's events will culminate at 3:30 p.m. with the Edible Endeavors Convention featuring rapid-fire presentations on food issues in LA. The centerpiece event is being billed as a combo political convention, lecture, panel discussion and rally.
