Lake Murder
"Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands," Brenda Ueland once said. It is also what Dateline and the ID Network have built their brands on as of late. Each story should start with the spoiler that the husband did it. Christopher Leclair decided that he was done pretending to be a happily married man, and instead of getting a pesky divorce, he would kill his wife, throwing her in Lake Erie. The only problem was he had told another lady that's precisely how he was going to get rid of his spouse. And just in case, spoiler alert: The husband did it!

The Truth About Incels
Over the past year or so, there has been a new word creeping into the erotic scene. Incel. After checking its definition, it made no sense at all. An incel is a man who is involuntarily celibate. Grandma's and gay best friends in romcoms always say "there's a lid for every pot," so if that's true, why can these guys not get laid? The answer was laid bare for me.

Traitor Trump Tweet
A few days ago, there was an email that came in from work. In essence, it said to be careful what is posted on social media because it can come back and bite us in the ass. Today, Rudy Giuliani proved this with an accidental tweet that implies he believes something that many Americans do as well about Donald Trump. And just wait until word of this gets back to Trump, it will not be pretty. Though it is unclear what, if anything, will be said about it—after all, after firing Jeff Sessions and pushing off a press conference out of deference to mourning former President George H.W. Bush, Trump has to use his time to try and discredit the Mueller investigation. So, there's a chance that "Uncle" Rudy's tweet will go unnoticed or at least not talked about.

Execute the Innocent
"There's always such a rush to judgment. It makes a fair trial hard to get," John Grisham has said. In his one and only true crime book, The Innocent Man, he proved that this was true. In that book, Grisham explores the case that saw Ron Williamson nearly being executed for crimes that he didn't commit. As the hours clocked down, his life literally hung in the balance because someone wanted a conviction, no matter what the cost was.

The Countdown to the End of Tumblr Begins
Where do you turn when you want to see some dick or tits? Most will say they do a Google search, which is fair. Most of the searches, though, will lead to a long list of Tumblr accounts that have the desired content that's being sought after. In the coming weeks, however, that will change as Tumblr has decided to ban adult content on the platform.

5 Things to Know About Stealthing
"I'm kind of a good girl—and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect." That is how Katy Perry describes herself and her views on sex. The important here should be respected, if a couple agrees to have sex, all of the terms should be met. There is a new trend that is upending that trend called stealthing.

Cross Country Serial Killer
"I am a serial killer. I would kill again." Aileen Wuornos once warned police and the community at large. It seems that most serial killers have a code that their needs matter more than anyone else's, seems to be a statement that doesn't need to be said. Samuel Little allegedly took both the Wuornos statement and the selfish characteristic to dramatic new heights with his killing spree. What's fascinating is that for the most part, he got away with it. If not for a confession and some handy detective work, Little could have performed 90 or so murders and never have been tried for most of them.

Why Do Prisoners Get Laid So Much?
Have you ever googled prison porn? The results are almost as popular as daddy does babysitter or MILF porn. It's why Darren Criss became a sex symbol when he played Andrew Cunanan for American Crime Story: The Assination of Versace. Seriously, read the comment sections of the recaps or discussions, and people went crazy for him. Some of us still think that he was cuter on Ryan Murphy's other show, Glee, but to each their own. So why are violent offenders and prisoners the source of so much erotic attention? A fetish known as hybristophilia could be the answer.

Twisted Prison Love
This story is almost too strange to be true; the weird thing is that not only is it true but when the TV mini-series (Escape at Dannemora) was being made, they had to find ways to make it seem more logical. Why? Because a married, 50-something woman slept with two prisoners at New York's Clinton Correctional Facility. That part is the only logical part of this sordid tale.

Hef's Secrets Are Under Water
There was never any doubt that the "King of Porn" had sex tapes and naked pictures of celebs, that was almost a given. The real question was what would he do with them, or what would happen when he was no longer among the living. It has been revealed that Hugh Hefner had already thought about this and decided that his secrets would follow him to the grave, or at least as many of them as he could possibly take with him.

Do Me Raw
"Must be DDF (Drug and disease free) and into raw sex," so said one dating profile, and the person claimed that he was looking for a husband and a partner to spend the rest of his life with. His profile proclaimed that safe sex was not an option, so "don't even ask." What? Dating has always been weird but as of late, it has become even more twisted. Since when is raw the only way to have sex? And why is it that way?

Ariana Grande Owned the Internet
There is nothing better than an older person trying to stay relevant by fighting on the internet with a younger person. As a gossip columnist/podcaster/writer this is what I live for. Mostly, because the older one is almost always way out of their league and really searching for a way to get followers on social media. Such was the case with Piers Morgan when he tried to drag the girl group, Little Mix and for some reason the saint on Earth known as Ellen DeGeneres. An eclectic mix of celebs to be sure, and weird because, except for Piers, none of them are usually involved in anything scandalous. We needn't fear about the ladies honors though, superheroine Ariana Grande is here to put the hypocrite in his place (and in such a classic way too, boo!)
