Hey August,
I'll look it up on HBO Go. 
BTW I used to work on the WB lot next door to to where they film the 'Merlot's' exteriors. The interior of the bar was across the lot on a soundstage. Sometimes I'd hang out after work and watch them shoot. Never really got into the show but it was a friendly crew.
Cheers,
Sam

    The episode is called In the Evening if that answers yr query. Amazing.
    Think its season 6 now and its 7 or 8 (Google TB in the evening)--at

    paid a pretty penny or this was to drum up excitement. BTW they sound just
    like BD's CD transfers only much better.

Ashlee Simpson , her boyfriend Evan Ross and Lenny Kravitz were also seen at the club till 3 a.m. The trio had earlier met up at Darby Downstairs.

{allcanada} LIONS ROOKIE GUARD FABIEN OUT FOR SEASON WITH KNEE INJURY

US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store

SURREY, B.C. -- Kirby Fabien's promising CFL rookie season has come to a premature end.

B.C. coach Mike Benevides confirmed Wednesday the Lions' guard will miss the rest of the season after suffering a devastating knee injury a night earlier in a loss to the Argonauts in Toronto.

"It's unfortunate, because he was having a great start to his career," said Benevides after the club returned to its Surrey, B.C., training facility. "It's unfortunate, but he's done for the year."

Fabien, a 22-year-old Calgary native, was injured when he was hit after a Travis Lulay pass was intercepted in a 38-12 loss to the Argos that ended B.C.'s winning streak at three games. A 2012 first-round draft choice (seventh overall), Fabien had quickly established himself as a starter this year after electing to return to the University of Calgary last season.

Fabien, who returned from Toronto with the team, is due to have an MRI exam on Thursday to determine the full extent of the damage and what surgery is needed.

"The (team) doctor said there were several (torn ligaments), or more than one, so we'll find out what happens after that," said Benevides.

Veteran Dean Valli, who replaced Fabien after he went down in Toronto, will assume the starting role when the Lions (3-2) host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1-4) on Monday.

"(Valli) stepped in and he did a wonderful job," said Benevides. "He's got tremendous experience. So he'll be the guy that steps in for us, and then Matt Albright is also there on game day for depth for us."

Benevides said the club has discussed bringing back veteran guard Jon Hameister-Ries, who has been plagued by injuries and has not been with the team this season. But it is unlikely that Hameister-Ries will be called back.

"Right now, we're going to focus on the guys we have in house, which would be Matt Albright and would be Angus Reid and would be, obviously, Dean (Valli) stepping in to play the guard position," said Benevides.

Veteran centre Reid has been placed on the nine-game injured reserve list due to a back injury that sidelined him early in training camp. But the Lions have the option of bringing him back early, if he is healthy.

Reid, 36, watched a practice Saturday while wearing his gear and holding his helmet. The Richmond, B.C., native's early return would allow Matt Norman, his replacement at centre, to shift back to the guard position. Norman played guard last season while splitting the year between the Lions and his University of Western Ontario teaching studies.

Albright, a 21-year-old rookie out of St. Mary's University, was drafted 42nd overall by B.C. this year.

Fabien was B.C.'s second Canadian rookie in two games to see his season end prematurely. Defensive back Matt McGarva, a 22-year-old Surrey, B.C., native, was also felled by a knee injury July 20 in a win over Edmonton, but his injury was not as apparent during the game and received little attention.

"It's one of those things where it's very unfortunate and sad for the athlete," said Benevides. "But they'll be stronger for it, and we'll have to adjust as a team."

Fabien's injury spoiled a run of relative good fortune by the offensive line, which was plagued by injuries last season after three guards, including Valli, went down in training camp but was managing well in spite of Reid's absence this year.

"Those guys were doing a really nice job working together, and we had a lot of continuity in that area, and certainly didn't get that done," said Benevides.

While Fabien starts to mend, Lions coaches, players and medical staff will also try to counsel him through the recovery process.

"It's very tough for any athlete to go through, you've gotta work him through it and try to get the guys who have been through it before, maybe, to speak to him," said Benevides. "It's not an easy process to go through, so we're there for him. He understands that, and I think he saw that from his teammates (Wednesday) morning on the plane."

Benevides hopes the revamped offensive line can help the Lions get into the end zone against Winnipeg. The Lions advanced within 10 yards of the Toronto goal-line on four occasions Tuesday, but had to settle for field goals.

"That's going to be a discussion point -- there's no doubt," said Benevides adding the entire team needs to solve the problem.

{allcanada} Sophia Bush: Cory Monteith's Death Even More Shocking Because "He Had Just Gone to Get Help"

US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store
Cory Monteith, Sophia Bush 

While agreeing that Cory Monteith's sudden death earlier this month was an untimely tragedy, Sophia Bush feels that his fatal overdose was even more shocking because he had just seemed to turn a corner.

"When someone who I think is such a light in your industry, when something that devastating happens, nobody expected it," Bush said yesterday on HuffPost Live. She crossed paths with Monteith at last year's Do Something Awards, at which the Glee star was a celebrity honoree, and she is hosting this year's ceremony, airing tonight on VH1.

"I don't know how to phrase it, because you don't want to say that you're expecting that from anyone," the former One Tree Hill star said. "Sadly, I think, there are some people who we watch as they sort of unravel, and if something like that were to happen, you'd be sad but not necessarily shocked. You'd just be so sad that they never got help." 

"And it's, I think, more emotional for the people who knew him and loved him because he was working toward that," Bush continued. "He had just gone to get help."

Monteith, who talked candidly about struggling with substance abuse throughout his life, starting when he was a teenager, voluntarily checked into rehab in March. He walked his first—and, sadly, last—red carpet after treatment with girlfriend Lea Michele at the 12th annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in L.A. in June.

The 31-year-old actor was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room on July 13. Cause of death was determined to be a toxic mixture of heroin and alcohol.

Bush tweeted that night upon hearing news of Monteith's death, "I saw him a few weeks ago in NY, looking so happy. heartbreaking… #corymonteith" And she hopes that, if nothing else, the tragedy sends a loud and clear message that this can happen to anybody.

"I think, if anything, it signified to so many people—and hopefully to so many people who loved him from around the world, who watched him, who looked up to him, who might be struggling—that addiction is serious and it is not to be taken lightly, and it comes for you in ways you can't imagine," the actress said Tuesday.

"I hope that there's some sort of push for people to realize that they need help, and maybe that they need more help than they think they do."

Lea Michele, , Cory Monteith, Twit Pic Twitter

Michele, who helped put on a memorial for Monteith with Glee creator Ryan Murphy last week, broke her personal silence on Monday, tweeting, "Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart."

The singer-actress then tweeted today, "Spending the day surrounded by great friends.. Hope you all are having a good day.. Sending lots of love to you all.."

Sending love right back to you, Lea Michele.

{allcanada} Justin Bieber Won't Be Charged With Hit-and-Run for Bumping Paparazzo

US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store US iTunes, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store
Justin Bieber 

Even if Justin Bieber's Ferrari did cross paths with a paparazzo last month, it's likely the pop star was unaware amid all the confusion.

So has determined the L.A. County District Attorney's Office, which is opting to not file hit-and-run charges against Bieber, whom a photographer had accused of taking off after knocking him down while pulling away from The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood.

The entire incident was caught on video that was subsequently reviewed by authorities. And according to the charge evaluation worksheet obtained by E! News, police basically determined that there would be no way to prove that the 19-year-old star left the site of what seemed to be a minor collision on purpose.

Bieber's attorney had previously told police that his client was unaware that he had hit anyone, an explanation police found "reasonable and creditable."

"There were over a dozen paparazzi surrounding his car and on the sidewalk, and it was noisy with camera flashes and bright lights surrounding him," read the notes from Kaarin Axelson, the deputy investigating photographer Damon Walter's complaint. 

"Security had motioned for Bieber that it was clear to leave, and the video showed a clear path for the car until Walter suddenly stepped in front of it," Axelson continued in the report. "The Ferrari's engine is loud. The impact was minor and given the chaotic scene and stress of the situation, it is likely that Bieber did not know he had hit Walter."

The report concluded: "Insufficient evidence to prove that Bieber knowingly left the scene of a collision in which someone was injured."

White Ferrari, Justin Bieber 

When police went to Bieber's house after the June 17 incident, they observed a scratch on his white Ferrari consistent with Walter dropping his camera on the hood before falling down.

Walter was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital at the time to be treated for two abrasions on his leg, per Axelson.

{allcanada} BAUTISTA HITS GO-AHEAD DOUBLE IN THE 10TH, BLUE JAYS TOP A'S

iTunes, App Store and Mac App Store iTunes, App Store and Mac App Store iTunes, App Store and Mac App Store iTunes, App Store and Mac App Store iTunes, App Store and Mac App Store

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Jose Bautista hit a go-ahead double in the top of the 10th inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Wednesday for a series win.

Bautista lined a double to right against Jesse Chavez (2-3). Rookie catcher Stephen Vogt's second costly passed ball of the game allowed Jose Reyes to advance after a leadoff infield single, and Reyes scored on Bautista's hit.

Casey Janssen (4-0) pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the win, while Brett Cecil finished for his first major league save in two opportunities.

Colby Rasmus added a two-run single off Jerry Blevins for insurance in the 10th.

A's starter Bartolo Colon and Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey each settled for no-decisions, leaving after six innings apiece with the game tied at 2.

A's All-Star closer Grant Balfour struck out the side in order in the ninth, but Chavez couldn't hold down the heart of Toronto's batting order.

Oakland lost for the first time in nine games with Vogt starting behind the plate. His passed ball in the fourth allowed a run to score.

The A's missed plenty of chances in losing for only the fourth time in 11 games -- and the fourth in 11 extra-inning contests this year.

Aaron Loup allowed back-to-back singles with one out in the eighth, then gave way to Steve Delabar. He struck out Chris Young and Vogt.

Dickey wasn't helped by four errors, two of which allowed the A's to score, and the knuckleballer did not yield an earned run. The right-hander is winless in his last five starts, going 0-3 since beating the Tigers on July 1, and has only one victory in nine starts against the A's.

Dickey collided with third baseman Brett Lawrie on an infield popup behind the mound to allow Eric Sogard to reach leading off the fifth, then Sogard scored on Maicer Izturis' second miscue of the game when the second baseman chased down a popup in shallow right field but dropped it as he appeared to lose the ball in the sun.

Colon, a 14-game winner and All-Star at age 40, allowed seven hits and two runs -- one earned -- struck out one and walked three.

The AL West-leading A's lost consecutive games for the first time since opening the second half by dropping two in a row in Anaheim.

They wasted a chance in the fourth against Dickey after loading the bases with no outs. Oakland last faced a knuckleballer when they beat Tim Wakefield 15-5 on Aug. 26, 2011.

A's right fielder Josh Reddick was a late lineup scratch after he showed up at the ballpark with a headache, a day after teammate Jed Lowrie's knee hit him in the head after both chased a foul ball along the right field line.

Manager Bob Melvin said it wasn't considered to be a concussion but the team would be cautious and give him until Friday's series opener with the Texas Rangers after an off day Thursday.

NOTES: Rajai Davis earned a start in LF for the Blue Jays against his former club and Melky Cabrera didn't start for the second straight game with tired legs. He struck out as a pinch-hitter Wednesday. "Get him a start in his old stomping grounds," manager John Gibbons said of Davis. ... Cabrera said he hasn't heard anything from Major League Baseball about whether or not he will face a suspension for his ties to the Biogenesis lab in Florida. "No, I don't know," he said. ... A's LHP Brett Anderson is scheduled to face hitters Friday. Melvin said he likely would throw 15 pitches, sit down, then make 15 more. He might do another simulated game of sorts before beginning a rehab assignment. ... New A's INF Alberto Callaspo, acquired from the division rival Angels on Tuesday night, joined his new team after flying in from Dallas. He flied out to right in the seventh as a pinch-hitter then stayed in at 2B.
