Updated: 9:30 Am Sunday: The Maria Fire is now estimated at 50% contained, as evacuation orders were lifted and residents gradually trickled back to their homes this morning.
The blaze has consumed 9,412 acres and destroyed two structures (officials previously put the count at three). Cooler temperatures and lighter winds overnight helped firefighters get a handle on containment, but dry conditions remain for Sunday.
An estimated 7,000 people in the Santa Paula and Somis areas in Ventura County were evacuated after the Maria Fire started late on Thursday.
Updated 8:30 Am Saturday: Diminishing winds are helping firefighters get a handle on the Maria Fire, which is now estimated at 20% contained. But red flag warnings are still in effect because of low humidity and bone dry vegetation.
USA Today reported that Southern California Edison said it re-energized a 16,000-volt power line minutes before the Maria Fire erupted nearby last week. The company issued a...

Sony Pictures has confirmed that starting at 10am Pacific time today, you will be able to rent James Franco and Seth Rogen's comedy The Interview on YouTube, Google Play, and Xbox for only $5.99. You will also have the option to buy it for $14.99 which is pretty much the cost of admission for seeing a movie here in Los Angeles. There's also an official website that has been set up for anyone who may not have access to those services. There have been talks of the film being made available on Netflix in the next few days as well, but there's no confirmation of that yet. It's good to see that Sony didn't let the hackers win. Enjoy the movie! Hopefully it was worth all the insanity.

After North Korea threatened 9/11-style violence at movie theaters that would screen Sony's "The Interview" comedy, most theater chains dropped the film, which then causes Sony to officially announce that "The Interview" will not be released theatrically. But after pressure from President Obama, lots of Hollywood actors and the general public, Sony has decided to release "The Interview" on December 25th is select theaters, but will not provide any security. One theater owner said: "It's not so much that we believed anyone from North Korea would be running into theaters with an Ak-47, but more that there enough people around the country who are mentally unstable who might use this as an excuse to do something." As a result, most theaters will have extra security and not allow backpacks or large overcoats. Seth Rogen commented on the decision to release the film, stating: "The people have spoken! Freedom has prevailed!

Refresh for latest… Here’s a list of theaters confirmed to be showing Sony’s The Interview on Christmas Day after the studio worked with indie chains on a release plan finalized this morning. The venues have a deadline of 6 Pm Pt today to decide whether to run the movie on December 25, as Sony must send theaters the movie hard drives in time to make Christmas Day screenings. Some theaters are booking the film for later in the month or into January, so that deadline isn’t looming as large. As of 4 Pm, more than 200 theaters had signed on.
This is all happening fast so this list will continue to grow. We’re hearing that there are still internal discussions among art houses about whether to add the pic to their schedules, with security and previous commitments among the concerns. Some of the theaters had planned to be dark on Christmas Day,...

"I had an uncle in show business, so it's been in my family in one form or another," the Thousand Oaks resident said. "I was always kind of enamored with that aspect -- having a relative in the business."
Judging from the estimated 200 people who turned up for a "Showbiz After 60" presentation recently, plenty of seniors are eager to unleash their inner thespians.
The seminar, aimed at showing seniors how to break into TV, movies and the stage, was scheduled to take place at a senior-living facility in Thousand Oaks called The Reserve. But because so many people signed up, it was moved to a larger venue, the Goebel Senior Adult Center.

He played the role that made him an icon to kids everywhere for 11 years and he’s not done yet. I talked to him as he was in rainy San Francisco researching a role in the musical, Wicked.
He’s got some great stories, fantastic advice and tells us what he’s up to next.
So, when I told people I was going to interview you, everyone just completely, automatically smiled, and you just –
Isn’t that nice?
Yeah, you just seem to be so loved for your character, Mr. Belding. You bring back these –
Warm fuzzy feelings (laughter).
Exactly. You bring back these happy memories from childhood. That’s gotta be great for you.
Well, you know it’s funny because I was just glad to have a job when I got the job.
