On L.A.'s Radar

I had to skip Radar's Wednesday night "launch" party (does a third time around really count as a launch?) at The Standard for a media panel discussion at UCLA, but if I had gone I'd have heard editor in chief Maer Roshan say that the magazine has more readers in Los Angeles than in New York. "They're our people, the people who are building the culture," Roshan told W's Gabriel Snyder, who posted a party report at WWD.com's Memo Pad. (FishbowlLA also has a long, gushy report.) Over at Radar's website, L.A. freelancer Shana Ting Lipton has a piece up on the history and art of crashing the Oscars ceremony.
