A motorcyclist was struck by a red Toyota Camry around 3:15 a.m. at the intersection of Magnolia Boulevard and Lankershim Boulevard, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

Over July and August, more than five million foreigners will come to Canada on their summer vacation. For the rest of the summer, the National Post presents this series on the revolutionaries, luminaries and criminals who have taken time out from shaping world events to pay us a visit — and how that visit shaped them. Today, the time Hollywood star Errol Flynn came to Vancouver … and came back in a box.

Only hours before, Errol Flynn had a drink in his hand and in his signature high-brow accent, was regaling Vancouver society with tales of globetrotting swashbuckle.

HOLLYWOOD—
Two people were found shot dead in the front yard of a Hollywood home early Saturday, police said.

Authorities were dispatched to a call about shots fired at 5:50 a.m., Officer Anthony Gomez said. When officers arrived to a home on the southeast corner of North 25th Avenue and Wilson Street, they discovered a man and woman dead on the lawn.

"No suspect at large is what our investigation has revealed so far," Lt. Derik Alexander said. "It appears to be domestic-related."

HOLLYWOOD —
Forget the chips and chocolate.
Vending machines at City Hall – and all city-owned buildings in Hollywood -- will soon display smarter, healthier choices.

Think apple crisps, granola bars and herbal teas.

High-calorie goodies like Doritos and M&Ms won't disappear, but there will be fewer of them thanks to a new deal with Miami-based Gilly National, the city's vending machine supplier.

The signing of Alexis Sanchez has got all at the Emirates Stadium in a buoyant mood this summer, with transfer prospects supposedly looking up before the new season gets underway.

And it doesn't look as though Arsene Wenger is set to stop there, with a host of top-flight talents being linked with their own moves to north London.

Louis van Gaal will seek to enact a revolution in his Manchester United post, a challenge that all starts with the reshaping of the Red Devils' squad, from top to bottom.

David Moyes' lack of transfer window initiative has already been trumped by United's early moves on Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera, but there remains a bounty of work to be done.

Having sold their very own Elvis in Luis Suarez, Liverpool will be hoping they can replace his encapsulating talent with a few players with comparable ability. Not too dissimilar perhaps—and somewhat appropriately—to The Beatles.

Brendan Rodgers has a reported £75 million burning a hole in his pocket after confirming Liverpool had sold Suarez to Barcelona, per Oliver Todd of the Daily Mail, and now the Reds boss is looking to bring in a host of high calibre players to replace the mercurial Uruguayan.

Mumbai: We all know that ‘Comedy Nights with Kapil’ wasn’t the same after the departure of funny man Sunil Grover aka Gutthi. Well here’s some good news, he’s back on the show.

The greatest trick Shrekfest ever pulled was convincing the world it didn’t exist.

Comedy Nights With Kapil: Guthi back on Kapil Sharma's show

But this time Sunil Grover returns as his father-in-law; meanwhile, Kapil also gives in, show remains a bi-weekly.

Sunil Grover, whose monkey tricks and high jinks became the talk of the nation, is tying up his laces, as he gears up for a comeback on the show that made him a household name, Comedy Nights with Kapil. His on-screen avatar Guthi was everyone's darling till he was wooed away by a rival channel with the dream of his own show. The dream quickly went bust! Meanwhile, Kapil too was getting a little too big for the small screen after bagging a film. He wanted his show to go on air just once a week because he had no time to spare. But after getting the boot from the film production house, the still popular comedian is back to hosting bi-weekly episodes. A friend of the actor told Mirror, "It makes no sense now for him to reduce his visibility on TV by 50 per cent."

‘It Could Be Worse’ Comedy Series

Moves to Hulu

Although, as Wesley Taylor says, “show business is the best platform for humiliation,” he and his fellow Broadway performer Mitchell Jarvis have turned their personal and professional setbacks into victories. Their DIY web series, “It Could Be Worse,” about a struggling and somewhat hapless actor played by Mr. Taylor, seems to be doing better in its career than the fictional character at its center.

I've just taken my son and daughter to school and nursery, which are in opposite directions so I'm sitting in the car, as I do when I'm trying to get stuff done. We just moved house, about 500 yards from where we were, to get a garden for the kids.
