From Ireland’s RTÉ comes word that 67-year-old actor Nick Nolte battled a fire at his Malibu home with a garden hose:

Inspector Sam Padilla, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, said that Nolte suffered smoke inhalation and minor abrasions in the fire, which was caused by an electrical problem.

Inspector James Barnes said: “Nick Nolte was there apparently with a water hose trying to extinguish the fire himself and of course we came to help him out.”

BREAKING: Michael Cera backlash brewing. First Defamer put it out there that M.C. is apparently passing on the long-rumored much-anticipated A.D. movie. Today, Wells springboards off this Sun.’s NYT profile and pretty much nails it.

But, to [over]simplify, maybe it’s just all about the damn fleece zip hoody sweatshirts.

Juno. (obvs.) One of a couple of hoodies donned by the character throughout the film, the signature one of course, the bright red track team pullover, while not a zippered hoody, still a hoody nonetheless.

Superbad. Progressing to a somewhat better fitting, more mature solid color hoody.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Promisingly, this hoody is sungly fitted, suggesting a bit more confidence. Also of note, it appears from this photo still that this particular hoody mysteriously has its hood drawstrings completely retracted or removed entirely (the Freudians among you please feel free to go nuts with this bit).

The Raconteurs are a solid band. Not the colloquial “solid” that equates to faint praise—i.e., “solid effort, sport”—as if mere molecular coherence alone is commendable—but in the fullest, multi-dimensional sense of the word, as in substantial, united, without division, genuine. Solid on record, solid live—perhaps even more so the latter.

The four-piece so-called super group, augmented for this tour by Mark Watrous on keys and a mean fiddle, expertly executed a rapturously received short and tight set of capital-R Rock, culled from their 2 records this past Monday, the first of a pair of nights in town at The Greek Theater. The crowd was a fun mix, industry cool dad types in denim dragging along long haired offspring in ill-fitting hoodies and $80 Beckham jerseys, Jack White fanboys and their dates (Overheard: Guy: “You’ve never seen Jack White before, have you? He’s a hell of a musician. Gal: “…”)

The sign itself is modest, muted behind tinted glass, belying the certain impact the contents of its message are soon to reak upon a neighborhood and retail district. It is a simple banner, somewhere between the sort you might make at Kinko’s for a birthday party and one you might hang over an aircraft carrier deck to celebrate the victorious end of the Iraq war, bearing four words in happy fonts that simultaneously elicit giddy anticipation from prospective shoppers while striking the fear of God into the very hearts of Westwood Village food and drug retailers: Trader. Joe’s. Coming. Soon.
