Cindy Crawford Goes Skydiving in Hollywood
Ever wanted to go skydiving but didn't think you were up for the whole jumping out of a plane bit? Then make like Cindy Crawford and head to Universal Studios City Walk in Hollywood where you can try out indoor skydiving. No plane needed. Heck, you don't even have to jump off a bench or anything.

Fake Town Square at Universal Studios Reopens After Real Fire
An essential landmark on the Universal Studios Tour in California has reopened after being gutted by fire a year ago. The blaze in Courthouse Square was accidentally started by roofers using a blowtorch, and before it was extinguished, it destroyed much of the square - which is seen in such films as Back to the Future and To Kill a Mockingbird - as well as the King Kong attraction, a video vault, and other outdoor sets.
