Watch this judge brutally berate a woman in a wheelchair. The woman died. The judge has quit.
A Broward County circuit judge delivered a blistering, arm-waving, face-palming, tongue-lashing to a frail, out-of-breath woman - pushed into court in a wheelchair - who was facing misdemeanor charges following a family feud. Three days later, the defendant died. Judge Merrillee Ehrlich has resigned, although it is unclear when that resignation was provided and when it becomes effective. News of the death of Sandra Faye Twiggs, 59, surfaced Friday. The courtroom rant last Sunday was so over the top that Broward's elected public defender, Howard Finkelstein, demanded that Judge Merrilee Ehrlich be banned from the criminal courthouse. "It is not appropriate for anyone to endure that kind of treatment,"

The Ever Stylish Loulou de la Falaise Was Far More Than Just Yves Saint Laurent's Muse
There was never a shortage of waify muses wandering through Paris in the Sixties and Seventies, but Loulou de la Falaise always stood apart from the rest. Even when she was in her fifties, the New Yorker declared her to have "always been the quintessential Rive Gauche haute bohémienne." Born Louise Vava Lucia Henriette Le Bailly de La Falaise, in England, to a count and a former model—the latter of whom the photographer Cecil Beaton famously said was the only English woman he knew who could be "really chic in really hideous clothes"—de la Falaise was part of high society. But she was also always a hard worker. After becoming a model, designer, and editor in New York, which led her to meet Yves Saint Laurent , she moved to Paris in the early Seventies to join the YSL couture team and become director of accessories. Along the way, she became a core member of his original, party-hard crew . And though she passed away in 2011, de la Falaise has hardly been forgotten; she's in fact now the subject of Loulou & Yves : The Untold Story of Loulou de La Falaise and the House of Saint Laurent , a new oral history written and compiled by Christopher Petkanas , who knew de la Falaise in the Eighties, and reunited with her in 2010, the year before her death at just 64. Featuring 150 original interviews, the book fleshes out how much more there was to de la Falaise than simply being Saint Laurent's muse. Here, a look back at her inimitable style throughout the years.

Both ladies opted for chic dresses, but while Meghan's cape design was muted, Eugenie's lightweight sheath had a bright blue floral pattern and lent her such glow. Eugenie, who often wears very trendy shoes, whipped out another style we took a liking to: patent leather peep-toe pumps that matched her skin tone and elongated her legs.

Kellyanne Conway interview goes off the rails after CNN host asks about her husband's tweets criticizing Trump
Counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway's appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" turned tense Sunday while addressing the president's tweets and possible legal peril - and her husband's tweets, too. The former Trump campaign manager dodged host Dana Bash's questions on Trump's tweets about potential legal implications stemming from an FBI raid on the president's personal lawyer Michael Cohen's office and hotel room. "Can you assure the American people that the reason the president isn't tweeting concern about Michael Cohen flipping because he is in potential legal jeopardy given whatever he knows that Michael Cohen has that the feds now have from that search?" Bash asked. Conway responded
