Sadly, a lot of classic rock is rooted in men’s resentment towards women. During an interview, one of The Eagles revealed that “Best of My Love” was about the band’s issues with women in their lives. The American people rewarded The Eagles for expressing these resentments.

Don Henley said ‘Best of My Love’ was about a contradiction within The Eagles

During a 2003 interview with The Uncool, The Eagles’ Don Henley discussed the origin of “Best of My Love.” “A lot of the lyrics were actually written in Dan Tana’s at a booth we liked to sit in, on the front side of the bar area,” the “Boys of Summer” singer said. “Jd Souther wrote the bridge and it was perfect.

“That was the period when there were all these great-looking girls who didn’t really want to have anything to do with us,” he added. “[The Eagles] could be...

Anderson .Paak, the Grammy-winning musician who’s also half of Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, opens Andy’s on Sept. 25. It’s an intimate throwback live-music venue with a focus on R&b and jazz. His partners are his friends: seasoned L.A. nightlife impresarios Mark and Jonnie Houston, whose other industry-favored ventures include La Descarga, Break Room 86, No Vacancy and Level 8.

“It’s going to be a little like you’re in my home studio, or mom’s basement,” .Paak says of the West Hollywood club at 9077 Santa Monica Blvd., right between the Troubadour and Dan Tana’s. “But with bomb-ass food and a top-notch sound system for the stage.” (.Paak also debuted as a director earlier this month at TIFF with K-Pops.)

The space most recently was known as the Doheny Room and before that The Lounge. In 2002, the property entered into pop-culture legend as the site of a...

Dabney Coleman made anything he appeared in better. That was the consensus as news reached his show business colleagues of his death today at 92.

Words like “perfect,” “exceptional” and “the best” were all used to describe Coleman’s body of work, which carried many of the projects he appeared in. As Richard Roeper said of Coleman’s frequent villain roles, “He was the best at playing guys who were the worst.”

Some of the early reactions:

Ben Stiller, James Woods, John Ales and more Hollywood notables have taken to social media to pay tribute to Dabney Coleman, who died at 92.

The legendary comic actor known for his roles in 9 to 5, Tootsie and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, died Thursday at his Santa Monica home, his daughter, singer Quincy Coleman, told The Hollywood Reporter.

Following the news of his death, fellow actor Stiller took to X (formerly Twitter) to write, “The great Dabney Coleman literally created, or defined, really – in a uniquely singular way — an archetype as a character actor. He was so good...

The meetings are conducted with the secrecy of a national security briefing. Attendees pledge not to disclose deliberations. Attorneys steadfastly stonewall reporters who try to probe the proceedings. And no one ever alludes to the fact that there is a ghost in the room.

At stake is a $30 billion merger of two revered publicly held companies, CBS and Viacom – a deal that will likely trigger a new cycle of corporate mega-deals, perhaps reshaping the landscape of the media industry.

And the ghost? It’s Sumner Redstone, age 97, the master dealmaker responsible for creating the teetering corporate edifice. His presence still hovers over the company, but his mental health is the subject of litigation, as is his potential influence over the deal. His secret trust documents may

impose inhibitions on future maneuverings, given that he and his daughter, Shari, still control by far the most shares in this public company.

Given his addiction to corporate intrigue,...

While writing this review, I became unstuck in time. Suddenly, I was seeing stars on Halloween 1988 in New York City, then shooting off to Australia to meet people in February 1993 followed by Christmas caroling edged with snowflakes in 1974 West Virginia. Before I knew what I was doing, I was watching The Hunger in a Manhattan screening room in 1983. And then Chicago, briefly, in the 1990s, don’t know exactly when—July something. The women kept changing. But they were the same in that they all married someone else, not me. What’s up with that?

Was it something I said?

Or more likely done (or maybe not done or will yet do)? I blame time travel. You see, in studying time travel romance (as presented in this movie), I have discovered/will discover that going missing at (in)convenient times can stress a relationship. “Honey, can you take out the trash?...

This is a hookup we definitely did not see coming! George Clooney and Paris Hilton have allegedly been spotted together. According to In Touch and Life & Style, George and Paris grabbed a bite to eat at Dan Tana’s in Hollywood recently. They were joined by director Ridley Scott and Paris’ new Bff Brittany Flickinger, so chances are, it was just a work-related meeting. But why would George Clooney ever want to do a movie with Paris??? It seems like career suicide for him! An eyewitness tells the magazine, “It was an odd group for a dinner party. It...

Paris Hilton's La home was robbed last week, and it doesn't look like she spent much time there over the weekend. She and her Bff Brittany had dinner at Dan Tana's on Saturday, and on Sunday they joined Ryan Seacrest at Stk before heading on to Hyde. The burglary has really upset Paris, she said, "I am devastated. I cannot believe someone broke into my home. They took items that had such sentimental value that no one will ever be able to replace. I'm just thankful that I wasn't there when it happened." Besides Brittany, it looks like Paris has another shoulder to cry on - after trying to reconnect with Benji last week, they were spotted publicly making out and they even still spend some nights together. If Paris feels insecure about sleeping at home alone, sounds like Benji is a welcome bed buddy. To see more...

Brad Garrett is off the hook. The Los Angeles District Attorney's Office confirms to E! News that the erstwhile Everybody Loves Raymond star will not face charges for a Nov. 11 incident in which he allegedly roughed up a heckling paparazzo outside the celeb-friendly eatery Dan Tana's. In a document released by prosecutors, the D.A. puts most of the blame on the shutterbug, who "initiated contact...outside a West Hollywood restaurant" and then "attempted to provoke a violent reaction from [Garrett] by using hostile and derogatory language." The comedian, who had repeatedly told photographers "that's enough" as they videotaped him in a parking lot, became increasingly...

Charges have been dropped against U.S. funnyman Brad Garrett following a police investigation of the actor who was accused of attacking a paparazzo.

The former Everybody Loves Raymond star took offence when snappers photographed him and his date alone as they left Hollywood hotspot Dan Tana's last month, despite his pleas for them to stop.

Local authorities looked into claims the comic chased a paparazzo before breaking another's camera, but the Los Angeles District Attorney has decided not to pursue charges against the actor.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ.com, the photographer in question "attempted to provoke a violent reaction from (Garrett)... by using hostile and derogatory language... The interests of justice do not support the filing of criminal charges."

Garrett faced a possible criminal battery charge in the case.

George Clooney was back in La and back with his mustache out to dinner at Dan Tana's in La last night. Talk continues to heat up about George coming back to ER for the final season, with Noah Wyle recently hinting that the actor was trying to make it work. For now, George is focusing on bigger issues like speaking out against Proposition 8 recently passing. He said: "At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black." George is just one of the stars proving that their political opinions and involvement don't end with the election. The proposition is still being hotly contested all across the country, and we will see how much of a difference it makes.
