Fred Segal, whose West Hollywood store helped define the Los Angeles retail scene since its opening in 1961, passed away due to complications from a stroke, his representatives told TheWrap. He was 87. “He was a true artist who dedicated his life to evolving as a human being in every aspect,” a rep for Segal said in a statement. “He challenged us to expand our minds and our hearts, to go deeper and to do better. He was an innovator, a forward thinker, a rule-breaker, a mentor to so many, such a lover of life and a humanitarian. Anyone who knew him felt his powerful energy.

A conference dedicated to the future of the conservative movement turned into an ode to Donald Trump on Friday as speakers declared their fealty to the former president and attendees posed for selfies with a golden statue of his likeness. As the Republican Party grapples with deep divisions over the extent to which they should embrace Trump after losing the White House and both chambers of Congress, those gathered at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference made clear they are not ready to move on from the former president — or from his baseless charges that the November election was rigged against him. “Donald J. Trump ain’t going anywhere,” said Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, one of several potential 2024 presidential contenders who spoke at the event, being held this year in Orlando to bypass COVID-19 restrictions.

Lady Gaga’s dog walker is expected to make a full recovery, the family of the victim said Friday, after being shot in a dog-napping incident earlier this week. “Thankfully, Ryan is receiving extraordinary care in the hospital right now and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery,” the Fischer family said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “We cannot possibly say enough to thank all of the first responders, nurses and doctors who have worked so tirelessly to care for Ryan.” Ryan Fischer was taken to an L.A. hospital around 10 p.m. Wednesday night after being shot while walking three of Lady Gaga’s French bulldogs.

The suspects took two of the three dogs and fled the scene in the suspect vehicle.” The suspects are described as two Black males around 20-25 years old, one armed with a semi-automatic handgun, which was used to shoot Fischer. According to TMZ, which published graphic video of the incident on Friday, the LAPD is “seriously looking at the possibility the shooter/thieves knew the dogs were owned by Gaga” and were targeting her for ransom. A police spokesperson declined to comment on TMZ’s report. As previously reported, the singer is currently offering a $500,000 reward for “anyone who has her dogs, no questions asked.” “Of course, we also want to thank Lady Gaga who has shown nothing but non-stop love and concern for Ryan and our family right from the outset,” the Fischer family’s statement continued. “Ryan loves Gustav and Koji as much as Lady Gaga does; so we join in her plea for their safe return.” Read original story Lady Gaga’s Injured Dog Walker Expected to Make ‘Full Recovery,’ Stolen Bulldogs Still Missing At TheWrap
