Russian couturier Valentin Yudashkin, whose designs drew eyes at international fashion shows , sports events and military ceremonies, has died at age 59, Russian news reports said Tuesday. The reports cited his wife, Marina, as confirming his death but did not state a cause. Yudashkin was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2016 and reportedly was hospitalized last week. News of his death came two days after Russian media reported that Yudashkin's mentor and the Soviet Union's most renowned fashion designer, Vyacheslav Zaitsev, had died. Yudashkin attracted attention with highly dramatic fashions and began showing at events in Paris and elsewhere. His intricate, embellished designs were a sharp departure from the dull, Soviet monoliths of Odintsovo, the city on the outskirts of Moscow where he was born. As acclaim for his work grew, Yudashkin was commissioned to design the Russian Olympic team's uniforms for the 1994 Winter Games and 1996 Summer Games. He later created un...

Sen. Joe Manchin's committees  racked up significant charges on high-end dining and travel expenses in the first quarter of the year, continuing a trend of extravagant spending heading into the 2024 election cycle. The West Virginia Democrat spent over $50,000 from his campaign, leadership PAC and joint fundraising committee on the expenses in Washington, D.C., and other areas outside his home state, with costs running higher than $7,000 at some establishments. Most of the spending came from Manchin's campaign, which disbursed nearly $20,000 in charges at D.C. restaurants for catering services, according to a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records. JOE MANCHIN REIGNITES BATTLE OVER ENERGY PROJECT PERMITTING  The Manchin campaign's  lavish D.C. spending  went to various high-end restaurants, including $5,730.90 at Mi Vida, a premium Mexican eatery, and $5,189.66 at Bobby Van's, a well-known steakhouse considered a top-tier dining destination in the ci...

When Johnny Carson retired from "The Tonight Show" after 30 years, one man was determined to make the iconic set part of his burgeoning collection of television memorabilia. "I would love to say that I convinced him that I was the best guy for the job, but really, if I’m being honest, I had to convince him to save the set at all," James Comisar said. "He told me he had the tackiest set in Hollywood and who would ever want to see it?" That set is among a dizzying number of items from Comisar's collection of props, sets and costumes from beloved television shows that will be sold in early June by Dallas-based Heritage Auctions — from the bar where Sam Malone greeted customers on "Cheers" to the pink confection Barbara Eden wore in "I Dream of Jeannie" to the set from Archie and Edith Bunker's timeworn living room from "All in the Family." 'AMERICAN PICKERS' STAR MIKE WOLFE AUCTIONING HIS COLLECTION OF 62 VINT...

MANCHESTER, N.H. – In a Republican presidential nomination race currently dominated by former President Donald Trump , Michigan businessman and long shot GOP White House candidate Perry Johnson says he’s "Trump without the baggage." Johnson, who made a fortune through his successful companies in the quality control industry, described himself as "Yankee frugal" and touted in an interview Monday with Fox News in New Hampshire that "none of my companies have any debt. None of my companies have ever gone bankrupt." That appeared to be a swipe at the former president, a real estate and business mogul before winning the White House in 2016. Six of Trump’s companies over the years filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, which means a company can stay in business while wiping away many of its debts. "The reason I say I’m Trump without the baggage is that we both are businessmen. We both started companies. Both became successful. But I spent a lot les...

Hunter Biden ignored questions Monday concerning his dad, President Biden , refusing to acknowledge his unclaimed 4-year-old granddaughter born out of wedlock to ex-stripper Lunden Roberts. As he left a Batesville, Arkansas, courthouse for a lunch break amid a child support hearing for his daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, Fox News Digital asked Hunter whether his dad was doing a disservice by not recognizing his grandchild, but he did not give an answer. HUNTER BIDEN'S TWISTED ATTEMPTS TO KEEP HIS LITTLE GIRL FROM USING HIS NAME ARE NOW IN A NEW REALM Hunter was ordered to appear in person for the hearing after the child support case was reopened when he requested adjustments to the child support payments. The older Roberts had previously reached an agreement with Biden in 2020 regarding the child's paternity and child support payments.  In December, her lawyers filed a motion to have the girl's last name changed to Biden. WATCH: CHILD HAD TO REMIND BIDEN WHICH COUNTRY H...

Democratic Washington Gov. Jay Inslee will not seek re-election in 2024, he announced on Monday, ending speculation over whether he would seek an unprecedented fourth term in office. Unlike most states, Washington does not impose any term limits on its governors, and Inslee was the second governor to serve out three terms. Inslee also ran an unsuccessful presidential bid in the 2020 Democratic primary, where he focused mostly on climate issues. "Serving the people as governor of Washington state has been my greatest honor. During a decade of dynamic change, we’ve made Washington a beacon for progress for the nation. I’m ready to pass the torch," Inslee wrote in a statement. "Now is the time to intensely focus on all we can accomplish in the next year and a half, and I intend to do just that," he continued. "I look forward to continued partnership with legislators and community leaders to address Washington’s homelessness crisis, speed our efforts to expand...
