20 famous Los Angeles restaurants actually worth trying
What is it? One of L.A.'s most quintessential seen-and-be-seen restaurants, complete with a stunning oceanfront location so close to the beach that you'll overhear children playing on the sand. Why we love it: Nobu Malibu is one of those places that's so stunning, you may just hear yourself muttering, 'Is this real life?' Whether you're looking to gawk at celebrities or just want to celebrate a special occasion, the current location on PCH offers excellent views of the water during the day—and a moody, somehow even better atmosphere at night. The pricey fusion-style Japanese cuisine may no longer be cutting-edge, but in our experience it's still quite delicious and extremely consistent, from signatures like the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi and miso black cod to newer seasonal dishes. Beyond food and ambience, top-notch service and plenty of well-lit nooks and crannies for snagging the perfect selfie make the hassle of booking a table here worth it.

Los Angeles-based influencer arrested in connection with fatal car crash
A Los Angeles-based influencer turned herself in to authorities Monday after a warrant for her arrest was issued in connection with a car accident that killed a 44-year-old man last year. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department booked Summer Wheaton, 33, on suspicion of manslaughter and drunk driving, according to sheriff's records. She was released at around 3:30 p.m. local time Monday after having posted a bond of $230,000. Wheaton was named as a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in December by the family of Martin Okeke, who died on July 4 after a vehicle struck him on the Pacific Coast Highway. Okeke's family alleges that Wheaton was hired to attend a party at the restaurant Nobu Malibu, on the Pacific Coast Highway, and was 'expected to consume intoxicants.' The suit, which also names Nobu Malibu, the Hwood Group LLC and DBDJ LLC as defendants, alleges that the restaurant had not received the proper city permits to hold the party and 'were not complying with the City's plans to control for the danger of drunk driving.' Wheaton 'was booked for the charges of Gross Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol Causing Bodily Injury, and Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol with a BAC of 0.08% or above Causing Bodily Injury,' officials said in a statement posted to Facebook. Direct messages sent to Wheaton on Instagram and through her website were not immediately returned. It is unclear whether she has an attorney. Attorneys for Okeke's family did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. Representatives for Nobu Malibu, the Hwood Group LLC and DBDJ LLC also did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday. The event at Nobu was supposed to be attended only by people who were being given rides by secondary parties, such as ride share services or limousines, according to the Okeke family's suit. However, Wheaton drove herself from the party in violation of its rules, the suit says. Wheaton 'failed to keep a proper lookout, drove at an excessive speed, and made an unsafe lane change, causing a head-on collision,' according to the suit. In a statement to the Los Angeles Times in December, an attorney for Nobu denied that the restaurant hired or contracted Wheaton and said that it abided by the city's initial conditions for the permit. Okeke's family requested a full jury trial and is seeking damages 'without limitation.' Wheaton, who makes content about travel, fashion and faith for her 101,000 followers on Instagram, has not publicly addressed the crash. But in a video posted to her Instagram page in December, she reflected on how 'the last few months have been hard.' 'You know that feeling when life seems like it's all falling apart, but somehow it's a start of something really beautiful?' she said. 'Well, that was me.' She went on to promote her $34.99 'faith-based planner.' This article was originally published on

Scott Disick's ex claims he pushed her into plastic surgery, reveals alleged body-shaming messages
Holly Scarfone is shedding light on her alleged past relationship with Scott Disick. The "Too Hot to Handle" alum, 26, revealed on Tuesday's episode of her "Suite 'N Salty" podcast that an ex-boyfriend, whom she described as an older man, had "pressured" her into considering plastic surgery while they were together. Although she did not explicitly name the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star, 41, during the episode, she hinted at his identity by displaying messages from a contact saved with the initials "SD." She also playfully referred to him as "Rot Shnisick," a name that rhymes with the Talentless founder's. "I felt pretty secure in myself. I felt good in myself," Scarfone began, explaining that the topic arose when she sent her ex a "Happy Easter" message. "He was like, 'Oh, can we get that boob job you were talking about?' and like, 'Why don't you just take some of that fat and throw it in the back? And we can just do it in one sitting because why would you want to do all of that down time? You can just recover from it all at once,'" she recalled. The reality star continued, "By the way, a BBL is one of the statistically most dangerous procedures to have," referring to the Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. At the start of the podcast episode, Scarfone explained that she was hesitant to name the person in question due to concerns about potential legal consequences. She also emphasized that she did not want to "put anybody down." "I have been silent about this for years. … I was really young when this happened and the whole thing was quite scary to me," she recalled. She said her decision to finally speak out came as she grew more "comfortable" being in the public eye, adding that she hoped "maybe [her] story can help anybody else out there." Scarfone was previously rumored to be dating Disick in 2022 after the two were spotted having dinner together at Nobu Malibu in Los Angeles.
