Today, the city is a melting pot of high-end couture, streetwear, and eco-conscious labels.Yet, it’s not all glitz and glamor – LA’s fashion scene has its challenges, too.

By Farnoush Amiri and Stephen Groves | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The stunning removal of Kevin McCarthy as speaker has left the House adrift as Republicans struggle to bring order to their fractured majority and begin the difficult and potentially prolonged process of uniting around a new leader.The House convened briefly Wednesday and then went into recess, with North Carolina Rep. Patrick McHenry, the caretaker speaker pro tempore, serving in the job with very little power for the foreseeable future. Other Republicans left Washington, awaiting the next steps.The House will try to elect a speaker as soon as next week. The timing is nowhere near certain as Republicans line up for their chance at the gavel amid the bitter divisions that sparked the chaos.The House majority leader, Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., is in line for the post, but he faced an immediate challenge from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the Judiciary Committee chairman and a favorite of conservatives, who quickly announc...Julia Ormond sues Weinstein saying he assaulted her

By Deepti Hajela and Andrew Dalton | Associated PressNEW YORK — Julia Ormond, who starred in films alongside the likes of Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford in the 1990s before her spotlight faded, filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting her in 1995 and then hindering her career.Ormond, who also accuses The Walt Disney Co., Miramax and her former agents of knowing Weinstein was a problem but doing nothing about it, filed the case in state Supreme Court in Manhattan under the Adult Survivors Act, a law passed last year that allows a temporary window for those who allege sexual assault to file past the state’s normal deadlines.In her suit, Ormond says she was a star on the rise when she met Weinstein in 1994. She says she kept in touch with him to discuss scripts and projects, and in 1995 entered into a production agreement with Miramax, where he was co-chairman. She accuses him of committing sexual battery against her in Dece...Is 49ers QB Purdy capable of epic comeback over Cowboys?

SANTA CLARA — A generation after Joe Montana launched the 49ers’ dynasty with a fourth-quarter comeback over the Dallas Cowboys in “The Catch” game for the NFC crown, inquiring minds want to know if Brock Purdy can do the same, albeit in Sunday night’s regular-season showcase.Well, at least one guy still wants to know: Micah Parsons, who leads the Dallas Cowboys (3-1) up against Purdy and the 49ers (4-0) at Levi’s Stadium.“There are still things we want to see from Purdy, not when Purdy is winning, but when Purdy is down,” Parsons said last month on his Bleacher Report show. “The adversity aspect of the football game is huge, learning how to play from behind, learning how to play situational football.“I’m not saying he can’t do it,” Parsons added. “It’s something we haven’t seen yet.”It’s something Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson and Mac Jones could not do in lopsided losses to Dallas this season for the N...‘You ought to be making this money for me,’ Bay Area man allegedly told ‘prostitutes.’ Unfortunately for him they were undercover cops

OAKLAND — Last week, a pair of undercover Oakland cops dressed up like sex workers and headed off to the 500 block of International Boulevard with the hopes of attracting suspected pimps or men attempting to buy sex.Apparently, their disguises were effective.At about 6:15 p.m., the officers were accosted by a man who pulled up in a 2005 silver Dodge Magnum and rolled down the window, authorities said.“You ought to be making this money for me,” he allegedly called out to them. “You making hella contact for nothing.”The women promptly signaled to another police unit waiting nearby in the shadows, who swooped in and arrested the man. Two days later, Alameda County prosecutors filed two felony charges against him, related not to pimping, but to a loaded gun with an extended magazine allegedly found in the Dodge.The man was identified as 24-year-old Zaire Rucker-Jackson, a Santa Rosa resident. He was charged on Sept. 29 with carrying a concealed weapon in a ...Grimes sues Elon Musk after she said he wouldn’t let her see their son

It turns out that even Elon Musk and Grimes are vulnerable to ordinary human hassles like child custody disputes, as evidenced by the ethereal singer going to court to sue the billionaire over a matter regarding their three young children and her petition to establish “a parental relationship.”During their three-year relationship, Musk and Grimes (who’s known in court documents by her real name Claire Boucher), tried to portray themselves as intellectually superior beings who presumably were highly evolved on matters of the heart and procreation.But the publicly available records in San Francisco Superior Court suggest that the Tesla CEO and his ex-girlfriend are just like other aggrieved ex-partners. They’re having trouble working out how to co-parent their children, who, in their case, are ages 3 and under and bear the highly unusual, space-age names X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus.Indeed, reports and Grimes’ since-deleted social...Oakland missing person considered at risk
