Lucky No. 7: One of the Valley’s newest residents is Elizabeth Taylor’s soon-to-be seventh ex-husband. In a court motion filed Tuesday, Larry Fortensky said that after the couple separated, he moved from Taylor’s Bel-Air mansion to a small rented Valley home “in an area I do not want to live in.” Taylor is paying Fortensky $5,000 a month in spousal support. . . . So what’s the going rate for a nice rental these days?

Up and Away: Noisy aircraft may soon have a 10 o’clock bedtime at Van Nuys Airport. The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners voted Tuesday to roll back by one hour the takeoff curfew for loud planes.

Welcome: Janie, a 2-year-old koala, got her first whiff of L.A. air at Burbank Airport on Tuesday. She and another koala were en route to the Los Angeles Zoo, where they will go on exhibit after a 30-day quarantine. . . . A fact sheet about the pair notes that koalas, although resembling bears, “are not bears at all,” but marsupials. The zoo then points out that at birth, the two koalas were “about the size of a candy gummie bear.”
