Long before Tatiana Maslany was #SheHulk, she had an affinity for mean, green fighting machines. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Tatiana Masaly's love for the Ninja Turtles may explain why she decided to make her superhero debut as Jennifer Walters in the Disney+ series “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. latimes.com/entertainment-…
It was the idea of unpacking what Jennifer Walters' physical transformation meant that convinced Tatiana Maslany she had to audition for the role of #SheHulk latimes.com/entertainment-…
Tatiana Maslany said the conversation about women's bodies is "the juiciest thing" #SheHulk can tackle. "The perception and what it is to occupy a different body and to be received, societally, differently." latimes.com/entertainment-…

How do you will a baseball team into existence? Jesse & Emily Cole had a vision (but no money) and brought it to a skeptical Savannah community.

This must be a joke, a resident said of the new team's nickname. It isn't. And @TheSavBananas are thriving.
The logo – a cartoon Banana with bat cocked, lips twisted in a grimace. Bright yellow uniforms and a costumed mascot named “Split.” An elderly cheer squad called the “Banana Nanas.”

If fans were angry, Jesse Cole thought, they were paying attention. latimes.com/sports/story/2… Image
It was no secret baseball was lagging behind a quick-twitch world, young fans loath to sit for games that stretched past three hours. Cole and his staff started playing “What if?”

“We looked at every boring play,” he says. “And we got rid of it.” latimes.com/sports/story/2… Image

In the first episode of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” audiences not only learn how Jennifer Walters gains her superpowers — they also discover that she’s a tad obsessed with Steve Rogers’ sex life. #SheHulk latimes.com/entertainment-…
One of the things about the Disney+ series that struck Mark Ruffalo, quoting head writer Jessica Gao, is “how horny-forward [the story] is” compared to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he shares with a laugh.
latimes.com/entertainment-…
The #SheHulk series explores how Jen learns to navigate a world that treats her differently according to her form at the time and the distinct perceptions and expectations through which our culture views women and their bodies.

With #HolyFvck, Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) is embracing her shadow side: “You can’t have light without dark. The dichotomy was really important to me, and I had to take my anger out of the shadows in order to heal.” lat.ms/3QSpblV
The new album is “a thundering, hard-rock horror maze through Lovato’s psyche as a superstar in recovery — not just from drugs and alcohol but also from the sexual and spiritual repression that had long eaten away at her sense of self,” writes @HexPositive lat.ms/3QSpblV Image
Lovato addressed the obstacles they’ve faced in a previous album and docuseries, which detailed a near-fatal overdose. In 2018, Lovato suffered a heart attack, multiple strokes and brain damage that left her legally blind. lat.ms/3QSpblV Image

During Demi Lovato’s most recent stint in treatment, she began a deeper survey of her personal boundaries, especially around intimacy. One formative experience bubbled up to the surface in new the rock ballad “29.” lat.ms/3QSpblV
The track is a crushing rock ballad in which she marvels at turning the same age as a man she fell in love with when she was 17 years old.

“I didn’t understand it at the time,” she says, declining to name the ex. “I was like, ‘I just like older guys.’” lat.ms/3QSpblV
“I have a guy friend who relates to the song, who was with [a woman] in her 40s and was praised [for being the] younger guy,” says Lovato. “Culturally, I love that it’s changing now. I love that people are being held accountable for it.” lat.ms/3QSpblV

Los Angeles has rolled out its curbside composting program to an initial group of 40,000 homes.

Because of its vast scale, L.A. could have a transformational effect on diverting food waste, experts say. latimes.com/environment/st…
The program encourages residents to deposit coffee grounds, egg shells, moldy bread, spoiled fruit, uneaten lasagna and all manner of other kitchen leftovers to the green waste bins where they already dump their yard trimmings. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
L.A. is scrambling to meet a state-mandated deadline to move food waste out of landfills by the end of the year.

To make the program available to all of L.A.’s households, the city must build the capacity to handle a huge wave of organic waste. latimes.com/california/sto…
