Los Angeles Earthquake: 4.4 Quake Hits Near Pico Rivera
LOS ANGELES — A pre-dawn earthquake shook Southern California on Tuesday, startling residents from their sleep. The magnitude-4.4 quake, centered about 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, struck shortly after 4 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage. Though the quake was considered small, it was felt over a large swath of Southern California. Online citizen reports gathered by the USGS show the temblor was felt as far west as the coast. Los Angeles County Fire Department supervisor Andre Gougis said the agency was surveying the area, but had received no immediate reports of damage. The quake hit not far from the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, a magnitude 5.9 quake that killed eight people and caused more than $350 million in damage. The latest jolt was not likely to inflict the same damage. “I’m sure people would have felt it, but this is not an earthquake that will be damaging,” said USGS geophysicist Amy Vaughan..

Los Angeles Times Front Page Taken Over By Disney Ad
The front page of Friday’s Los Angeles Times was taken over by an ad for Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland.” The ad, which featured Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter character, was superimposed over a mock front page. The paper’s real A1 appeared behind it. “We worked very closely with Disney to come up with an exceptional and distinctive way to help them open ‘Alice in Wonderland,’” John Conroy, a spokesman for the LAT, told The Wrap’s Sharon Waxman. “It was designed to create buzz, and to extend the film’s already brilliant marketing campaign. ” Conroy expanded on his comments to the New York Times’ Richard Perez Pena, saying, “Stretching the boundaries was what we were going for.” Perez-Pena also interviewed LAT editor Russ Stanton, who would only say, “Obviously, it was not my decision.” The Los Angeles Times has experimented with front page ads before: last May, it ran a front page ad on NBC’s “Southland” that was designed to look like a story. This is its first experiment with an ad that completely takes over the front page, ripe with the Los Angeles Times banner atop it. This has caused at least one of the paper’s reporters to worry. “People are worried about what it does with the brand, the paper’s name,” one anonymous reporter told Perez-Pena.

Michael Blosil Suicide: Marie Osmond’s Son Dies In Los Angeles
Marie Osmond’s son Michael died Friday in Los Angeles after leaping to his death from his apartment. He left a note as described below saying he intended to commit suicide after a life-long battle with depression. Michael had struggled with depression and in 2007, at age 16, he went to rehab for undisclosed reasons. His friends and rommates told authorities on Saturday that he was clean and sober now. In March 2009 Marie gave an interview to People magazine saying he was out of rehab and better, “Those kinds of things are really very hard for a teenager to deal with,” she tells PEOPLE. “And if he ever wants to talk about it … he will, but it has to be their choice. It’s not my choice.” Now out of rehab, Michael Blosil is finishing up his last year of high school while living with his mom in Las Vegas (where she and brother Donny headline in a show at the Flamingo).

Storm Prompts Evacuations North Of Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — About 200 homes in Los Angeles-area foothills have been ordered evacuated as another powerful winter storm heads toward Southern California. The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for parts of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara counties that were charred by wildfires. Deputies will go door-to-door Friday telling people to leave their homes by 6 p.m. in La Canada Flintridge and La Crescenta, two areas at risk of mudslides. Forecasters say a storm Friday night and Saturday morning could dump up to 2 1/2 inches of rain in those areas. A mudslide earlier this month damaged 43 homes in La Canada Flintridge..

California Storm Evacuations: Los Angeles Braces For Mudslides
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says residents of more than 170 homes in two mudslide-prone foothill communities are being told to prepare to evacuate in anticipation of a storm system that’s headed for Southern California. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said calls went out Thursday night to residents of 134 homes in La Canada Flintridge and 42 homes in La Crescenta. She says sheriff’s deputies will begin going door-to-door at noon Friday and hope to have evacuations completed by 4 p.m. The homes north of Los Angeles are threatened because they lie beneath slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains that were burned bare by wildfires. Rainfall totals through Saturday are expected to range between a quarter and three-quarters of an inch. But forecasters say thunderstorms could bring downpours up to 1 1/2 inches in burn areas..
