Times Starts (Las Vegas)Observing

I guess the LA Times decided if it couldn't beat Kevin Roderick (though he beats them daily with bloggy 2x4s) it would join him.

We received an email from the Times' Nikki Brown pointing our attenion to something called "The Movable Buffet." The "Buffet" is what LA Observed would be like if it was produced by a high school journalism class. Oh, and if it was Las Vegas Observed.

Brown features the same celebrity worshipping, pop culture drivel you find on LA Observed, but far more ad nauseum and minus at least the cool stories (such as the tale of the at-risk LA landmark "Tail of the Pup.") that Roderick places between anti-Times screeds and oogling TV news-babes. Only difference its from a Vegas angle, though many of the glitteratti covered show up in LA to be (LA)Observed.

Among Brown's dispatches are the very exciting tale of a party headlined by disgraced baseball player Pete Rose and non-celebrity celebrity Paris Hilton. Add to that her non-interview with Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie Presley and man, you have a blog!

Not to join the bandwagon, but the LA Times is become less and less relevant every day.
