A man riding a motorcycle was killed in a collision involving another motorcycle in Long Beach, police said Friday. The crash occurred about 11:55 p.m. Thursday on Artesia Boulevard near Long Beach Boulevard, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Information was not immediately available on the identity of the fatally injured man, who died at the scene. The other man was treated at a hospital for unspecified injuries. “The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2004 Harley-Davidson was traveling eastbound Artesia Boulevard directly next to a 2005 Harley-Davidson,” police said in a statement. “The two motorcycles collided, which then caused the male rider of the 2004 Harley Davidson to collide with a parked vehicle on Artesia Boulevard,” the police statement said. The cause of the collision is still under investigation. Speed, distracted driving or impaired driving are not believed to be factors in this collision.” Anyone with information on the crash was urged to call LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Kevin Johansen at 562-570-7355. Tipsters may also call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS, or use the website www.LACrimeStoppers.org.

A 29-year-old man suspected of prowling around Menifee apartment complexes in an attempt to commit burglaries, going into one residence and fleeing when the occupants awoke, was behind bars Friday. Irving Willia Firtha Morrison of Menifee was arrested and booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta Thursday on suspicion of first-degree burglary. Morrison is being held in lieu of $35,000 bail. According to the Menifee Police Department, detectives initiated an investigation earlier this month after receiving reports of an unknown man clad in dark clothing, roaming through apartment buildings in the predawn hours, grabbing door handles and pushing on doors to find ones that weren’t locked. “Several (security) recordings of this individual were shared on social media platforms,” police spokesman Chase Coburn said. He said that in one instance, the prowler “entered an occupied home through an unlocked door but quickly fled when the residents awoke.” Detectives began carrying out surveillance operations where they expected the suspect to appear and hit pay dirt in the early morning hours Thursday on Town Center Drive, near Park Plaza Avenue, Coburn said. “Detectives observed a subject matching

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores is set to buy a 27% stake of the Chargers, two people familiar with the transaction told The Times on Friday. They spoke on the condition they not be identified because of the confidential nature of the deal. The transaction will resolve a long-running dispute between Dea Spanos Berberian and her siblings — including Chargers controlling owner Dean Spanos — that spilled into court in April 2021. Gores and his wife, Holly, are buying Spanos Berberian’s share of the franchise, the people familiar with the transaction said, but he won’t control or have a path to control the organization and will not influence the day-to-day operations of the team. Dean Spanos will retain full control of the franchise as he and his siblings, Michael Spanos and Alexis Spanos Ruhl, own approximately 69% of the Chargers. While alleging her brother’s mismanagement of the team led to debt that jeopardized the family’s wealth, Spanos Berberian hoped to force a sale of the team through a petition filed by attorney Adam Streisand. He previously represented Jeanie Buss in her fight to gain control

Angel Reese said earlier this year she is willing to “take the villain role” in the interest of “growing women’s basketball.” Now, however, the Chicago Sky star feels that approach has “backfired on me.” The WNBA released a statement Wednesday night saying it “will not tolerate racist, derogatory, or threatening comments” toward anyone affiliated with the league, after being called out by Connecticut Sun star Alyssa Thomas about hate speech directed toward her and other players on social media. On Thursday, Reese started a series of posts on X that seemed to address the media’s coverage of the matter. “Y’all know i’ve been going through this for the last 2 years but was told ‘save the tears’ & ‘stop playing victim,’” Reese wrote. “Y’all a little late to the party and could have tried to put out this fire way before it started.” In a second post, Reese wrote: “I’ve never in my life had privilege but I definitely know the power I have through my platform. That didn’t come overnight. I grew that on my OWN. With that being said, I will continue to

Actors Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, a comedy duo who also run a cannabis company, sued a California public health agency over new rules that would ban certain hemp products. “This draconian regulation alone will essentially devastate an emerging industry that consists largely of small business owners. It’s akin to requiring candy to stop containing sugar,” the lawsuit against the California Department of Public Health states. The lawsuit, filed this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, highlights the battle between cannabis businesses and California regulators that are attempting to regulate the hemp industry amid concerns that certain products could harm the health of young people. The U.S. Hemp Roundtable and other hemp businesses such as JuiceTiva, Blaze Life and Boldt Runners are also suing the state to challenge the new regulations. The businesses allege that they will lose millions of dollars, forcing some companies to shut down, if the rules are enforced. Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced emergency regulations that aimed to protect young people from dangerous hemp products. The regulations, which took effect this week, ban the sale of hemp food

About halfway through the new season of “Monsters,” Ryan Murphy’s anthology series about people who do very bad things, Kitty Menendez (Chloë Sevigny) explains why she hates kids — not just her kids, the parricidal Lyle and Erik Menendez, but all kids. “They strip the calcium from your bones as they grow inside you,” she tells her therapist. “They wreck your body as they eat you alive.” Is it a particularly gruesome description of how it feels to carry a child? Of course it is. For Murphy, whose imprint often seems to be on every other work of television, entertainment is a series of baroque monstrosities, human and otherwise. “Monsters” hit Netflix only about a week before the first two episodes of the new series “Grotesquerie” arrived on FX and Hulu. That’s a big dose of Murphy, who co-created both projects with flourishes familiar to fans of his oeuvre, including “American Horror Story,” “Feud” — the most recent installment of which focused on Truman Capote’s crash-and-burn relationship with ladies of New York high society — and “Ratched,” a macabre and admirably vivid prequel to “One

A day I have been dreading is now upon us: Dame Maggie Smith has died. She was 89, of course, and spent much of her final acting years playing women who were facing the inevitable: Her iconic Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of “Downton Abbey,” confesses she is ill in the first follow-up film and dies in the second. The reformed racist Muriel Donnelly of “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” bids a fond farewell to those she has aided in “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” In “The Lady in the Van,” the tragedy of Smith’s odorous squatter Mary Shepherd is revealed only after her surprisingly touching death. And while the disabled Lily Fox survives “The Miracle Club,” which would be Smith’s final film, she does so with a late-in-life reconciliation prompted by a visit to Lourdes. So she offered us all a long goodbye, did Maggie Smith. Her career spanned seven decades; two centuries; stage, screen and television and virtually every genre, from Shakespeare to “Harry Potter” and her brilliance never dimmed. No matter the general state of the project she was in, Smith never

New tech helps archaeologists explore the past New technology helps archaeologists explore the past 03:37 Archaeologists said they’ve unearthed more than 50 well-preserved Viking skeletons over the past six months, providing rare insights into how the sea-faring society lived and traveled.  “This discovery offers extraordinary opportunities to perform a wide range of scientific analyses, which can reveal more about the general health, diet, and origins of those buried,” said Michael Borre Lundø, archaeologist and curator at Museum Odense, in a statement. He added that it was “truly unusual” to find so many well-preserved skeletons at once.  The 2,000-square-meter Viking burial ground was used during the 9th and 10th centuries. It was discovered on the southern outskirts of the village of Åsum. More than 50 well-preserved skeletons were uncovered in a Viking burial ground in Denmark. Museum Odense The skeletons are so well-preserved archaeologists believe they will be able to pull DNA samples for scientific analysis. Subsequent analysis might reveal whether some of the buried Vikings were related — something that had never been examined in similar grave findings, said Borre Lundø. “It will be incredibly

California, home to many iconic landmarks like the Hollywood Sign, Golden Gate Bridge and Balboa Park, is also home to one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world, according to Time Out magazine. East Hollywood was ranked as the 26th coolest neighborhood in the world due to its growing culinary scene. “Free of Tinseltown’s tourist traps, neighbor East Hollywood has begun to stake its claim as LA’s buzziest culinary destination. Much of that rep can be credited to Melrose Hill, a developer-driven block at Melrose and Western Avenues whose brick buildings house a cluster of casual restaurants as well as the Erewhon-esque LA Grocery & Café,” the magazine said in part. East Hollywood was the only neighborhood from California to be named on the list. Time Out considered Notre-Dame-du-Mont in Marseille, France, to be the coolest neighborhood in the world. These are the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world:  Notre-Dame du Mont, Marseille, France Mers Sultan, Casablanca, Morocco Pererenan, Bali, Indonesia Seongsu-dong, Seoul, South Korea Kerns, Portland, USA Stokes Croft & St Paul’s, Bristol, UK Chippendale, Sydney, Australia Principe Real, Lisbon, Portugal Glória, Rio
