Keeping the spirit during the holidays can be a bit of a doozy, but somehow, you’ve pulled it off. You wined and dined those gathered at your table with patience and panache. You’ve even managed to masterfully convince your relatives to ditch your inflatable bed in lieu of a hotel room (thanks mainly to this...

For some, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. For others, it’s brunch—that glorious chunk of the weekend when both breakfast and lunch fixtures make appearances on menus, and orange juice gets a boozy boost. We’ll take that situation any day if we could, plus all the other good things the meal brings....

A good cuppa coffee can serve as many things—a wake-up elixir, a social drink, an energy booster. When the temps drop, it can even act as a very delicious hand warmer during a weekend stroll around town. Which is why it is totally acceptable (if not encouraged) to plan your day around this ubiquitous, treasured...

It might be a light-jacket kind of weather now, but soon enough, temperatures will drop enough to merit coats and scarves (yes, even in Newport Beach). And, as soon as the exciting newness of this chilly climate wears off, we’ll be faced with an important question: What do we want to do indoors? Here’s our...

While the tots are out looking for treats, we’re inclined to do the same. It’s just that our version of a treat involves a scrumptious meal—and something cold to wash it down with. During a month that celebrates witches and cauldrons, we’re looking at local breweries and restaurants slinging devilishly good brews. Whether you’re a...

The Angels believe they can help newly acquired catcher Jonathan Lucroy improve both offensively and defensively.

The Angels have a new closer in Cody Allen and there isn't any manager in baseball who knows him better than Indians skipper Terry Francona.

Mike Trout and owner Arte Moreno met separately with the media on Monday, but neither would confirm that extension talks have begun between the Angels and Trout's agent, Craig Landis.

The Angels will be without left fielder Justin Upton early in Spring Training, as he's dealing with right knee patellar tendinitis but is expected to be ready for Opening Day, manager Brad Ausmus said on Monday.

The next five weeks will see lots of shuffling on Major League rosters. Here are the most intriguing positional battles on each of the 30 MLB clubs.

Angels first baseman Albert Pujols met with the media for the first time this spring on Sunday and said he's fully healthy after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in late August.

Shohei Ohtani is continuing to make progress in his rehab from Tommy John surgery. On Sunday, he said he is hopeful he'll be able to start hitting off a tee in the next week.

Who do the Angels have in the pipeline? Get scouting reports, video, stats, projected ETAs and more for the Halos' Top 30 Prospects on MLB Pipeline's Prospect Watch.

On this opening week of Spring Training, all 30 Major League teams have one thing in common: optimism. Here's an optimism cheat sheet for each of them.

The Angels added a veteran lefty reliever, as Dan Jennings officially signed a Minor League deal on Saturday and joined the club for workouts at the club's Spring Training complex. Jennings will earn $1 million, plus incentives, if he makes the club.

The Angels announced their Minor League coaching staffs on Saturday, including former Major League catcher Lou Marson being named the new manager of Triple-A Salt Lake and former big leaguer David Newhan as the new skipper at Double-A Birmingham.

After undergoing surgery in late June to repair a torn left labrum in his left shoulder that required nine anchors to be inserted to keep everything in place, Zack Cozart is healthy and looking for a bounce-back season with the Angels.

After Ohtani's nearly unprecedented two-way success during his American League Rookie of the Year campaign last year, more clubs are looking into the possibility of having players who can both pitch and play a position. Walsh fits that bill, as he has been a power-hitting first baseman and outfielder in the Minors, but he's made 10 pitching appearances over the past three seasons as well. The Angels are experimenting with him doing both this spring and this upcoming season.

Right-hander Matt Harvey sustained a glute strain while participating in agility drills on Wednesday and will be out for roughly a week and a half, Angels manager Brad Ausmus said Thursday.

The 2019 MLB season feels so close now. Spring Training has begun. Players are taking the field. So it's time to rank the best of the best.

Shohei Ohtani, who is aiming for a return in May as a designated hitter but won't pitch in 2019, isn't able to participate in the on-field workouts with his teammates, but has progressed to swinging the bat and working out indoors.

The 30 prospects below all are getting very long looks this spring with an eye toward breaking camp with the parent club. Even if they start the year in the Minors, they all should get the chance to contribute at some point in the very near future.

Christopher Rountree and his L.A. ensemble Wild Up also score a nod, while the Yuval Sharon-directed "Lohengrin" is up for best opera recording.

The Museum of Contemporary Art announces the 2020 date when general admission becomes free. Here's a deep dive into what it takes to make that happen.

After fans were bewildered by the first trailer for "Cats," the latest sneak preview of the musical film features more dancing and a new Taylor Swift song.

New York's commercial theater culture is changing. Just look at "American Utopia," "Slave Play" and the work of Tom Hiddleston and Mary-Louise Parker.

Earth meets fire in the Cal State Long Beach professor's "Crucibles" and "Cauldrons," on view now in Glendale.

Some look like riffs on M.C. Escher. Others seem like three-dimensional origami. A look at how Takako Yamaguchi's art plays with the eye and brain.

Created iconic portraits of Elton John, Brigitte Bardot and Winston Churchill

The London hit "The Inheritance," inspired by E.M. Forster's "Howards End" and directed by Stephen Daldry, is playwright Matthew Lopez's magnum opus.

Los Angeles Opera brings back Barrie Kosky's fanciful, silent-movie-era production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," this time with James Conlon conducting and a cast of mostly emerging singers.

New museum shows in L.A. this week, Nov. 17-24, include "Balthazar: A Black African King in Medieval and Renaissance Art" at the Getty and "Building an Electric Future" at the Petersen

Somebody, a new messaging service developed by filmmaker, artist, and writer Miranda July, debuts today. The app is a new way to communicate: rather than connecting directly with another person, Somebody helps mediate interaction by introducing a third party to the mix. It works like this: when a message is sent from person A to person B […]

I remember visiting the Picasso Museum in Barcelona and being fascinated by one of Picasso’s school text books on display. I can’t remember the textbook’s subject because that part was irrelevant. My fascination lay in what had been drawn in the margins. I imagined a young Picasso bored by his teacher and distracted by a […]

Kimono for a Modern Age, currently on view in the Pavilion for Japanese Art, showcases how kimono designs evolved to integrate traditional and modern patterns with new chemical dyes and textile techniques during the first half of the 20th century.

For better or worse, every family has a unique dynamic. It’s a vibe that can be difficult to describe and only sometimes is intentionally cultivated. But despite its predominately subliminal nature, a family’s dynamic exerts a strong force. As kids, we began to realize what differentiated our home only by comparing ours to others. As […]

Few artists come along who blur the lines of the aesthetic paradigms of “fine art” or “folk art” and transcend both with a truthfulness and verve that allows us to see within the mythology. Sam Doyle is such an artist. He gives us more than mere images of vivid clarity, he opens an intimate world […]
