Did Steve Madden blatantly steal Alexander McQueen’s popular Faithful shoe?

Do you sail away on the boat to Dullsville or wait for a passionate shipwreck to occur?00

For our latest Twirlit video interview, we were lucky to snag an interview with Savannah Auger, handbag/shoe designer of Libertas Designs. Oh did I mention that she’s also a rock star?

They say she’s spoiling THEM. A retirement community in Largo, FL, is trying to kick out 6 year-old Kimberly Broffman, who lives with her grandparents there. The development’s bylaws state that all residents of the community must be over the age of 55. Will a judge send her to foster care?

The body of a child found in a south Georgia landfill has been identified as 7 year-old Somer Thompson. The girl from Clay County, FL, had gone missing on Monday on her way home from school. Authorities were able to ID the body based on a birth mark and her clothes.

Is it possible for me to love Michelle Obama any more? Apparently so, since the First Lady had a Healthy Kids Fair on the White House South Lawn and worked on those obliques via hula hoop with about 100 parents and kids from nearby elementary schools. Check out the video!

Last week, three people died and several others were hospitalized after attending one of James Arthur Ray’s sweat lodge self-help seminars. “Mr. Ray created a death trap,” said one of the survivor’s lawyers. How is this guy allowed to continue charging $9k for this??

Carving a jack-o-lantern with some triangle eyes and a toothy grin is like sooo 1994. Pumpkin carving is still cool, but you’ve gotta impress your friends and family members with intricate, creative designs. Here are some ideas!

Four-month-old Alex Lange weighs in at an impressive 17 pounds, and was denied health insurance for it. His “pre-exsisting medical condition” of obesity, claims the insurance company, was the reason for his denial. Can a four-month-old, who is breastfed and considered completely healthy, really be denied coverage for being too fat?

I am not a big fan of home associations. I understand their appeal, that they keeps property values high, communities “safe” and so on, but more often than not their draconian rules seem to offer more room for complaint than for praise. Case in point, today’s story about a six-year-old girl who is likely about to be evicted from the home of her grandparents.

Seriously. This is the worst letter any woman can get.

Today marks the launch of a new national campaign called Bring Change 2 Mind, which aims to take down the stigma surrounding mental illnesses. Glenn Close has been speaking out about the cause, since it hits close to home. Check out the PSA she did with her sister!

Joseph Wiseman, an actor famous for playing the evil scientist and title character of Dr. No in the first James Bond feature film, died yesterday. He was 91.
