HOLLYWOOD: It's the end of an era. This past Sunday, legendary newsstand World Book & News ("California's largest 24-hour newsstand") officially closed its doors. A tipster tells Racked: "Hollywood character Diz will no longer be selling magazines to locals in her eclectic outfits and fabulous nails [...] She will be missed and Hollywood will notice."
