At the six-bedroom, multimillion-dollar home featuring an infinity pool, guests would be treated to mini-makeovers using antimicrobial products after strolling on a red carpet, according to the invite.

That's not all: latimes.com/entertainment-…
Triller initially issued a statement saying it was “unaware” of the party. The company later acknowledged it, but said it has been canceled.

However, statement from another company appears to contradict this:

The first — and only — randomized controlled study of the use of face coverings to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is finished.

The conclusion: masks are most effective if everyone wears them. latimes.com/science/story/…
The study, which began in Denmark at the start of the pandemic, involved 6,000 participants.
Half of them were given 50 surgical face masks and were asked to wear them whenever they left home for the next month.
latimes.com/science/story/…
Overall, 95 of the 4,862 volunteers who made it to the end of the study became infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers couldn't find data to support that mask-wearing participants were better protected than non-mask-wearing participants.

A TikTok star was about a million clicks away from her goal of a whopping 100 million followers on the platform.

Then, one video made everything go south.

@christicarras explains what happened: latimes.com/entertainment-…
Charli D’Amelio has been hemorrhaging followers — nearly a million of them so far — on TikTok because of a recent video of her family sharing dinner with YouTube beauty star James Charles latimes.com/entertainment-…
Charli, 16, and her sister, Dixie, 19, have been accused of disrespecting their private chef, who served them a meal.

It was the extreme reaction to the main course that set viewers off. You can watch here:

In 2018, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti proposed to open a homeless shelter in each of the city’s council districts.

18 months and $200 million later, 20 facilities are up and running, but most who enter the shelters return to the streets.

Garcetti’s plan, called A Bridge to Home, promised to move people on the streets into permanent housing and improve the communities around the shelters with enhanced policing and increased sanitation services. latimes.com/homeless-housi… ImageImage
Of nearly 1,500 people in the shelters, only 15% moved on to permanent housing. Two-thirds either went back to the street or left without saying where they were going. latimes.com/homeless-housi… Image
