I’m sympathetic to abuse defenses except when it comes to taking a life. “I killed her because he was going to kill me” isn’t much of a justification. You’re still making the choice to kill rather than defend yourself, run, or seek help. I can see some argument for diminished capacity if you’ve been abused to the…

That case is still so horrifying even all these years later. Her eyes haunt me. I never like to be one of those who judges a book by its cover but maaaaan, she actually looks like the psychopath she is.

Karla Homolka* ruined it for every woman who was truly a victim.

Not just a male partner, but black male. Get the right jury and the Pretty White Girl Forced Into Crime By Menacing Black Boyfriend defense just might work or at least get her a better deal.

It is possible to coerce someone, especially a victim of repeated sexual and physical violence. This doesn't take away from the fact that she helped to plot the murder of another human being. There are only a few circumstances under which people can be understood to take another life. Stealing Black Fridays profit…

I wrestle with the conflicting beliefs that A) women are often coerced through violence and intimidation to go against their own values in the interest of self-preservation so I will give this story the benefit of the doubt and B) These are exactly the lies I would tell if I got caught committing a terrible crime if…

Dita von Teese served Marilyn Manson with divorce papers on his birthday, which is one of my all-time favourite stone cold bitch moves. He was cheating on her with Evan Rachel Wood at the time, which is what moves it from dick move to wholly deserved dick move.

A friend is a colorist / stylist that works out of his home. When he’s cutting hair (scissors close to the face / neck), he wants his clients to sit still. For the ladies that can’t even do that, he puts on Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Ladies(of all ages) instantly stop talking / moving and are mesmerized by the…

your honor, it’s pirate shirts all the way down.

Your honor, just look at him.

Oh god that one got me. Bravo

Your honor, he wants to finger me with all his rings on.

All I got from this is Johnny Depp is single. And I am celebrating this news by pulling out my old 21 Jump Street Tiger Beat centerfolds and finding a witch who does love spells.

is skeeviness grounds for divorce? cokebloat? guyliner?

It still seems a touch harsh...on a more upbeat note, these two couldn’t look more alike.

Even at his drunkest, Captain Jack would have gotten a damn prenup. The man was always one step ahead.

Not that spousal support can’t be valid but her asking for it seems ridiculous. She has steadily acted through the marriage in some major roles and the relationship likely helped her visibility. He should owe her nothing beyond half of what they jointly purchased.

With such a high-powered attorney you’d think someone would have advised him to sign a damn pre-nup.

Vanessa Paradis is cackling most delightedly in her French mansion with a glass of the good stuff and the pool boy.
