.@mrbobodenkirk reacts to the @BetterCallSaul series finale and bids farewell to the character of Jimmy McGill: “I’m a little shattered about it.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“People who are dialed into the show like I am will feel the same way I did when I first read it,” he says of the #BetterCallSaul finale script. “There’s a degree of self-awareness this character gains that I always knew he was capable of.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It was almost frustrating for me that he hadn’t shown it,” Odenkirk says of Jimmy McGill’s self-awareness. “In the final episode, he surrenders to the self-awareness he’s always had. It’s pretty cool, and very satisfying to me.” latimes.com/entertainment-…

"I like where his journey ends. And I think you’ll like it too," Bob Odenkirk said earlier this year. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Bob Odenkirk: “I’m just a guy who acts and works hard. I think people see me and think, ‘If I was an actor and had a great bit of luck, I’d be like him. He’s not a flashy guy. He’s not even particularly gifted. He just shows up and goes to work.’” latimes.com/entertainment-…
Fans are likely to feel as emotional as Odenkirk about the ending, which he points out is markedly different from that of #BreakingBad,” which concluded with a hail of gunfire and a high body count. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“It’s going to be hard,” Odenkirk said of #BetterCallSaul’s end. “It’s not something I’ve really thought about because I’m protecting myself emotionally. Compartmentalization is a real mechanism. The truth is, I’m trying to let myself feel it.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
The end of #BetterCallSaul also marks the end of Giancarlo Esposito’s time playing the bone-chilling Gus Fring. During the finale season, Esposito made his TV directorial debut on an episode in which Kim makes a life-changing decision. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Following in the footsteps of Esposito is Tony Dalton, who made his #BetterCallSaul baddie Lalo Salamanca into his own ultra-menacing character. Here, he looks back on his #BetterCallSaul journey. latimes.com/entertainment-…

For nearly 20 years, the stepsons of Palisades Media Group CEO Roger Schaffner were employed at his ad agency. There was just one problem. Managers at the now-defunct company say the stepsons didn’t perform their duties and rarely showed up for work. lat.ms/3wb9ize
They said the same thing about another person close to the CEO: his housekeeper. Former employees said they were unaware what work she actually performed at the once prominent player in the Hollywood advertising business. lat.ms/3wb9ize
One of the two stepsons was a creative designer and the other was an account coordinator, according to an organization chart. They were each paid $65,000 a year, said a person with direct knowledge of their compensation. lat.ms/3wb9ize

Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts has been in the public eye for two decades. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
She grew up in Dallas where her father built his Potter’s House empire, broadcasting on the radio, publishing bestselling books, rewriting the playbook for spreading the gospel and building a global ministry. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
Roberts enjoyed the simplicities of Christian adolescence — sitting in the pews of the Potter’s House with friends, trading in the normal currency of teen life: relationships, sex and whose CD you just copped.

From @GustavoArellano:

Jose Diaz’s grave lies in an elevated section of Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles, with views of the 60 Freeway and the Metro Gold Line. From here, you can see a good section of the Eastside.

What you can’t sense from here is how Diaz’s death profoundly changed L.A. His final resting place is one of thousands of long-forgotten tombs in one of the city’s oldest cemeteries.

He deserves so much more. latimes.com/california/sto…
On Aug. 2, 1942, the 22-year-old was found on the side of a road in what’s now Montebello with a fractured skull, a broken finger, pants pockets turned inside out and stab wounds to his abdomen. Diaz, who had just left a party where a fight broke out, died hours later.

🚨 Flex Alert today 🚨

Amid a heat wave that could push temperatures to 110 degrees in some areas of California, power grid officials issued a statewide Flex Alert for Wednesday.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The alert, which is a call for voluntary electricity conservation, will be in effect from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., officials with the California Independent System Operator said.

latimes.com/california/sto…
Customers are asked to conserve electricity, especially during those times because the grid is under the highest stress, officials said.

Reducing power demand during a Flex Alert is meant to prevent further emergency measures, including power outages.

The TV production class at El Monte’s Mountain View High School caught 14-year-old Cris Abrego’s attention — only he thought he’d be learning how to build TV sets.

“When I found that it was actually to make television, I was blown away,” Abrego said. lat.ms/3PtLA8c
That class would prove instrumental in shaping ambitions that would take him beyond El Monte.

Today, Abrego is one of Hollywood’s few high-ranking Latino executives, overseeing U.S. and Latin American operations for reality TV juggernaut @banijaygroup. lat.ms/3PtLA8c Image
“I’ve seen how hard it is to get into this business,” Abrego said.

He’s also familiar with assumptions made about Latinos. “I’ve had enough keys thrown at me while standing by a valet stand.” lat.ms/3PtLA8c
