Ain't misbehaving?
Is Paso Robles getting a taste of Hollywood misbehavior? Just as news of the visiting film production of “Farm House” spread, Paso Robles police received two reports of partying early Wednesday morning at the local Motel 6, police logs show.

Bloody "Farm House" filming up north

Moviegoer comedians
So we saw “Knocked Up” over the weekend, and — as expected — it was a clever comedy with lots of laughs. But one of the best lines from the night came not from stars Seth Rogan, Paul Rudd or Leslie Mann. It came from my friend Dan. The packed theater was watching a preview […]
