A severed head was found near the landmark Hollywood Sign yesterday… by the dog of a hiker, which was attracted to a plastic bag, out of which rolled the head.
Police report that the head might be that of an Armenian man, not believed to be a Kardashian.

Turban Tuesday has been preempted to bring you this special edition — Pillbox Hat Tuesday, marking the 48th anniversary of the murder of President Kennedy.
Here’s Jack and Jackie, arriving at Love Field in Dallas on that fateful day, November 22, 1963.
Jackie’s pink suit was made in 1961 by the New York dress salon, Chez Ninon. It was a copy of a Chanel pink boucle wool suit trimmed with a navy blue collar. The pillbox hat was designed by Oleg Cassini, and outsourced to be constructed by Marita at Bergdorf Goodman.
By request of Caroline Kennedy, Jackie’s Dallas outfit won’t be on public display until 2103. It is being stored by the National Archives and Records Administration in a dark, windowless, temperature-controlled bunker at the agency’s complex in Maryland. It was never washed and is still bloodstained.
No one seems to know what became of the pillbox hat. According to a Secret Service agent, it was last known to be in the hands of Jackie’s personal secretary, Mary Barelli Gallagher, who won’t discuss it.
Chexydecimal Studio City Bureau Chief Andy (also former London Bureau Chief) spotted the catastrophic lamp (I think it’s a lamp) at the Pasadena City College Flea Market this morning. It might have been owned by Andy’s favorite drag queen, Isolde Thandirt. But I doubt it.
If you’re going for the Retrocious look, this mess is for you.
The shade is a lullaby of something someone once thought was a good idea. Imagine it lit. Just don’t eat first.
The base, which I suppose could be said has a sub-Saharan feel to it, includes plenty of nooks and crannies for dust to gather, or for adding smaller decorative items.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, refuses to give up on this hideous Dr. Seuss skirt and unflattering jacket. Here, she’s seen at Wimbeldon, greeting ball girls and boys. She wore the dress last June 22 as well.
Let’s have a look, once again, at the dress I love to hate.
She wore it to the Flower show last July 28 (above), and just five days prior to that at the West Wiltshire show (below).
and last June 22…
and in April before that…
It’s time for the future Queen Consort to give this dress to charity… and the jacket, and the shoes. My nerves.
The Scientologists have purchased the former PBS affiliate KCET in Los Angeles, reportedly for $14 million, and it looks like they need a studio to produce television programming to spread the word about their loony fanaticism.
