Actress/choreographer Debbie Allen looks pretty fab, all 'done' in the above picture. She owes her look to Dr. Boogie, a hair stylist whose Hollywood credits include Snoop Dogg's Malice in Wonderland film shoot and styling the likes of Vivica Fox and Christina Milian.

Now, the doctor is in...in Hollywood, that is. Dr. Boogie is bringing celebrity magic and outrageous glamour to the masses with the opening of the new Dr. Boogie's Hair Studio at 1149 N. Gower, Suite 103, in Hollywood.

The doc takes 'walk-ins' but is best booked via email.

Richard Lee has obtained 57% more signatures than the required 433,971--more than enough to qualify for a California state ballot measure in 2010 that would propose legalizing marijuana. According to the LA Times it was easy for measure proponent Lee to obtain the signatures. All of this is of course taking place amidst the backdrop of an ongoing battle between marijuana dispensaries in LA and City Attorney Carmen Trutanich.

Under the proposed state-wide initiative, cities and counties would adopt laws that would allow pot to be grown and sold. For a state in the throes of insolvency that would mean taxes on marijuana production and sales. Like alcohol, marijuana possession would be prohibited for those under the age of 21.

The article goes on to say that an April poll revealed that 56% of state voters support marijuana legalization and taxation, and 60% of LA County voters support it. Did I just hear Bill Maher howl out his window?

The rain is over. The air is clean (for now). The busiest week of the season for holiday parties and events begins. So, come on down to The Viper Room on Thursday the 17th to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Solstice at 8mm's holiday/Christmas gig.

For those of you not familiar with the local trio, they're a trip-hop influenced band consisting of Sean Beavan (a producer/engineer who worked with Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails), wife Juliette Beavan on lead voals and Jon Nicholson.

8mm released a great holiday album last year, On a Silent Night--which makes a cool spirited gift for that difficult-to-buy-for musichead who's got everything.

The show starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $8 in advance, $12 at the door.
