A retired California appellate justice who carried on a four-year affair with Tom Girardi has returned numerous gifts from the now-disgraced lawyer to a bankruptcy trustee, an attorney for the former justice said. latimes.com/california/sto…
Tricia A. Bigelow handed over the gifts this week after The Times asked for an explanation of checks Girardi wrote to her in 2017, including one for $5,000 from his law firm’s bank account. latimes.com/california/sto…
An attorney for Bigelow said that she could find no record of having cashed that check or one for $10,000 from an account Girardi shared with his wife, Erika, #RHOBH star. latimes.com/california/sto…
Hundreds of former Girardi clients say the legendary lawyer stole tens of millions of dollars from their settlements, and are hoping to recoup their money through bankruptcy proceedings. latimes.com/california/sto…

Last year, 10 people died at Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival in Houston, which was produced by Live Nation. Concert experts and government officials believe the tragedy was preventable and cite a raft of security shortcomings. lat.ms/3T19PgK
Among the issues at the Travis Scott-topped event were a failed chain-of-command to stop the show, poorly designed barricades and a festival layout that all but guaranteed a crowd crush, experts say. lat.ms/3T19PgK
Fans breached perimeter barricades early in the day, but immediately after Scott took the stage that night, an over-packed crowd heaved against the railings. The show continued for 40 minutes, even after officials declared a mass casualty event. lat.ms/3T19PgK

Over the past decade, Brazilian artist Amanda Maciel Antunes has been having conversations with Anaïs Nin — the “invisible woman.” latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
Maciel Antunes traces this cosmic relationship to when she first immigrated from Brazil to the U.S. at age 20. Speaking little English, she sought used books to learn the language. The first book she chose was Nin’s “Diary Vol. IV.” latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
When she was working at an antique shop in Boston, a patron donated his entire collection of Nin’s books. In L.A., the first gallery to offer Maciel Antunes a solo show was named Luna Anaïs. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…

Roughly 6 in 10 respondents to a new poll are against Biden trying for a second term in 2024 — a striking reluctance in the solidly Democratic state of California.

Another Trump campaign would be even less popular, with more than 70% in opposition. latimes.com/politics/story…
According to the poll from UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, Vice President Kamala Harris also struggles to find traction in California, her home state, lagging behind Gov. Newsom and Sen. Sanders as voters’ choice for president if Biden does not run. Graph: If California’s Democratic primary were held now wi
But no candidate emerges as the consensus favorite for the Democratic nomination in this early gauge of potential 2024 contenders. Quote card: "While many California Democrats are not co

How do you will a baseball team into existence? Jesse & Emily Cole had a vision (but no money) and brought it to a skeptical Savannah community.

This must be a joke, a resident said of the new team's nickname. It isn't. And @TheSavBananas are thriving.
The logo – a cartoon Banana with bat cocked, lips twisted in a grimace. Bright yellow uniforms and a costumed mascot named “Split.” An elderly cheer squad called the “Banana Nanas.”

If fans were angry, Jesse Cole thought, they were paying attention. latimes.com/sports/story/2…
It was no secret baseball was lagging behind a quick-twitch world, young fans loath to sit for games that stretched past three hours. Cole and his staff started playing “What if?”

“We looked at every boring play,” he says. “And we got rid of it.” latimes.com/sports/story/2…

In the first episode of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” audiences not only learn how Jennifer Walters gains her superpowers — they also discover that she’s a tad obsessed with Steve Rogers’ sex life. #SheHulk latimes.com/entertainment-…
One of the things about the Disney+ series that struck Mark Ruffalo, quoting head writer Jessica Gao, is “how horny-forward [the story] is” compared to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he shares with a laugh.
latimes.com/entertainment-…
The #SheHulk series explores how Jen learns to navigate a world that treats her differently according to her form at the time and the distinct perceptions and expectations through which our culture views women and their bodies.
