Is Eataly Now Looking Downtown for Los Angeles Turf?

It is still unclear where Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich's Italian mega market will land in LA, though until now sources have cited the vicinity near West Hollywood and Mid-City, namely The Beverly Center. But Brigham Yen is jumping on the rumormongering wagon, writing that "a source who wishes to remain anonymous" says that Eataly is in "serious discussions" to open at Macy's Plaza, or rather what will become The Bloc after a $160-million remodel by developer The Ratkovich Company. Supposedly, Eataly would occupy much of the space that now functions as the food court below Macy's.

The Only Things You Need To See From Last Night's BET Awards

Posted 13 hours 18 min ago by Rachel Samara for Global Grind Staff


Soooo the BET Awards happened last night.
Everyone and their mothers were there [except the Illuminati members - Beyonce, Kanye, Jay-Z, Solange, Lil Wayne, Usher, Rihanna and Drake] so it left for a good awards show, but not as good as last year's.
But, anyway, the red carpet fashion was interesting and over-the-top as expected, and there was a Charlie Wilson tribute that was the best fucking thing I've seen in awhile.
The show was supposed to run from 8-11:30PM EST but went a bit over [ending around 11:40] and a few of the award categories were cut out because of this. Like the major ones - video of the year, song of the year, etc. But it's live TV, it happens.
Anyway, were you watching? Most of twitter was, but if you weren't, don't feel bad, here are the only things that were really important that happened....
-------
El Debarge was at church during Charlie Wilson's performance

Chris Brown took his shirt off backstage and posed with T.I.

Erykah Badu came out to perform "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" with Kendrick Lamar, but her booty stole the show
K. Michelle's booty stole the red carpet

And so did all of Meagan Good

Jamie Foxx wore an epic Trayvon Martin t-shirt, then Carmelo Anthony tweeted about it

R. Kelly performed a mini-medley of his classics in this get-up

2 Chainz and Angela Bassett became new BFFs

Stevie Wonder wore this epic jacket during the Charlie Wilson tribute

Chris Brown avoided all drama by bringing his artist Sevyn Streeter as his date

Then he won the Fandemonium award for the fourth year in a row. Team Breezy doesn't play around.

And that's about it. Happy Monday.
