Go Luck Yourself: Happy St. Patrick's Day With Jimmy Failla
March is full of day drinking and debauchery between St. Patrick's Day and spring break.
Host of FOX Across America and FOX News Saturday Night, Jimmy Failla, sits down with Kennedy before they head off to indulge themselves with Guinness and corned beef. You may catch them at their favorite Irish pub later today… if you're lucky enough.
Jimmy also details how he spent his weekend in Florida watching the co-eds party just a wee bit too hard.

Jane Larkworthy, 62, a top magazine writer and editor on beauty, dies
Later moving on to W magazine, Ms. Larkworthy became its executive beauty director. She was active online, too, writing for websites including Air Mail and New York magazine's The Cut, where for a time she was beauty editor-at-large. Ms. Larkworthy looked the part of an editor at a glossy fashion magazine, the kind satirized in the 2006 movie 'The Devil Wears Prada,' with her straight long hair in a refined shade of celebrity-colorist-applied straw and, more often than not, polished outfits that might have well brought Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy to mind. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But while her fields of expertise might seem superficial, her views on fillers and face creams were infused with industry knowledge and a large dose of well-grounded skepticism. Advertisement 'There is never an overly sappy 'I'm obsessed with' kind of thing in my beauty writing,' she told online beauty magazine Into the Gloss in 2011. 'If anything, it's like, 'Let's weed out the BS; let's weed out the stuff we don't need,' but I'm a great admirer of all things beautiful.' 'She definitely wasn't a pushover,' said Kerry Diamond, editorial director of the food publication Cherry Bombe and a former beauty editor who was a friend of Ms. Larkworthy's. 'You certainly had editors who would just write what was expected of them, and that was never Jane.' Advertisement When she especially liked something -- a Le Labo candle redolent of sandalwood and cedar, a nail polish in the perfect neutral shade of greige -- Ms. Larkworthy championed it. Her tone was that of a trusted friend rather than a pushy evangelist or fawning fan, leavened by a clever sense of humor. For a 2016 W magazine roundup of citrus-scented perfumes, she wrote, 'No one wants to smell like lemon Pledge.' After trying out a new cream with yogurt in its formula, she wrote, 'I wake up with supple skin -- and sometimes a craving for Fage.' Her joie de vivre extended beyond the latest beauty products. She had a cooking blog, 'The Fraudulent Chef,' offering recipes like a sesame chicken salad, which was an attempt to replicate a dish from a favorite lunchtime takeout spot. She also wrote posts on subjects like dishware, entertaining, and places to buy fancy ingredients and sugary drinks. As someone who appreciated food but wasn't professionally entrenched in that world, the name was selected, she wrote in her first blog post, in 2014, 'because I consider myself a fraud of many, master of none.' Ms. Larkworthy drew a different sort of attention in 2007, when she testified in the trial of Peter Braunstein, a former Women's Wear Daily writer and her ex-boyfriend. He was ultimately found guilty of a violent and theatrical attack in which he dressed in a firefighter's uniform on Halloween night to gain entry into the apartment of a woman, whom he drugged and molested. The victim, prosecutors said in a sensational trial that garnered wide media coverage, was a surrogate of sorts for Ms. Larkworthy. Advertisement As The New York Times wrote, 'Prosecutors say that in Mr. Braunstein's twisted mind, the victim was a stand-in for his ex-girlfriend Jane Larkworthy, the beauty editor of W magazine, who had rejected him.' When the trial was over, her husband, Bertrand Garbassi, said, 'She very much wanted to put it behind her.' On myriad subjects -- beauty, music, theater, food, dogs and more -- Larkworthy often had a witty comment. But when it came to the Braunstein case, Garbassi said, 'She had a quip about everything but that.' She drew scrutiny again in 2020 with the resurfacing of a comment she had posted years earlier on Twitter (now X) that was seen to support a post by Adam Rapoport, then editor-in-chief of the magazine Bon Appétit, that was widely considered to be racist. In the wake of that episode, The Cut suspended her from her position as beauty editor-at-large. By that point, she was already well into a period of reinvention, consulting for beauty brands, acquiring a real estate license, and settling full time in the Berkshires, with her husband. Jane Hazen Larkworthy was born Nov. 27, 1962, in Oceanside, N.Y., and raised in nearby Merrick on Long Island, the youngest of three children of William and Marjean (McKay) Larkworthy. Her father oversaw community relations for South Nassau Communities Hospital (now Mount Sinai South Nassau) in nearby Oceanside. Her mother, who was known as Midge, remained at home rearing Jane and her older siblings, Kate and Peter. There, she also designed and sewed hostess skirts that were sold at Bergdorf Goodman, as well as place mats for local boutiques. Advertisement She also made clothes for her daughters, including a checked cape for Jane that inspired her lifelong love of that type of garment. And she did some freelance writing for publications like Woman's Day Magazine and Family Circle. Like her daughter Jane, she died of breast cancer, in 1980, also June 4. Jane was 17. 'For most people, something like losing your mother at such a young age might be the only terrible thing that fate deals you,' said Diamond of Cherry Bombe. 'Unfortunately, Jane had to deal with a lot of complicated things over and over and over.' Ms. Larkworthy earned a bachelor's degree from Ithaca College in 1984, then started at Glamour, landing a job through a temporary employment agency (though it proved not to be temporary). Ms. Larkworthy and her husband, Bertrand Garbassi, in New York in 2007 after she testified in the assault trial of her former boyfriend. JOHN MARSHALL MANTEL/NYT She married Garbassi in 2006. In addition to him, she leaves her siblings, two stepchildren, and two step-grandchildren. This article originally appeared in

These are the most popular Irish baby names for boys and girls
Naming your baby is a big deal. Seriously. Once you've locked the title in, there's no going back. Unless you're Kylie Jenner, that is. Which means new parents or parents-to-be often spend ages going back and forth on potential ideas, trying to agree on the perfect name for the newest addition to their family. These days, picking a name isn't as simple as it was when your mum, gran, or great-gran were naming their kids, either. There's less pressure to pass down titles to keep them in the family, and more of a focus on creativity. From seasonal to traditional to vintage to geographical, it's also popular to give a nod to your heritage, too. With that being said, if you're looking for the perfect Irish baby name, we've got you. Whether popular in Ireland or traditionally Irish, we scoured the data provided by the Central Statistics Office to see which names, for both boys and girls, are big hitters right now. The list of most popular baby names in Ireland is currently a mix of names with English origins, Irish origins, and Latin origins, so we've also sought out some well-known and more unique Irish names for you to browse for inspiration too. Good luck! Some Irish names can be a challenge for people to pronounce if they're unfamiliar with Gaelic (and, as we all know, there's nothing worse than having somebody butcher your, or your child's, name). So, with that in mind, we asked our good pal Brooke Scullion, a bona fide Derry girl, to lend a hand with how to correctly say some traditional Irish names (which are also listed below). Sophie Williams is a Freelance Journalist and Copywriter, covering everything from Fashion to Entertainment to music, Lifestyle and Features. She has interviewed a range of musical artists and authors including Alyssa Edwards, Courtney Barnett, Confidence Man, The Vaccines, Loyle Carner, Gabrielle, and John Niven, and has written for publications like Metro, Reader's Digest, ITV's Woo! and Vice's NBGA. She is also working on a book for HarperCollins about Taylor Swift, due to be published in 2024.
