The Fiore/Jenkins Saga: Star 80 Again?

Jasmine Fiore thought it was true love when, earlier this year, she wed investment banker turned reality-television star Ryan Jenkins. Their courtship lasted 2 days.  Fast forward to August 15th, when her strangled body sans fingers and teeth was found inside a suitcase in a trash bin behind her apartment in Orange County. Her breast implants provided the only clue to her identity.  The suspected killer was none other than Jenkins, who fled to a motel room in Canada to end his life.  In an interview on NBC’s Today Show, Fiore’s mother, Lisa Lepore, stated his death brought the beginning of much-needed closure to this terrible ordeal and that he is no longer a threat to others.  Lady Justice shudders at the thought – could Fiore’s life will now be the fodder of a movie similar to Star 80, the 1983 vehicle about Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten who met a similar fate at the hands of her husband.

Conrad Murray’s Deadly Cure for Insomnia Propofol

Michael Jackson’s physician, Conrad Murray, might face manslaughter charges.  According to several news reports, police are now moving ahead to issue an arrest warrant against Dr. Murray.  He was administering 50 milligrams of Propofol (a powerful anesthetic) to combat MJ’s insomnia each night; the L.A. Chief Medical examiner reported lethal levels were in the pop star’s system. L.A. police have discovered 8 bottles of Propofol in MJ’s home and according to authorities, Murray failed to tell doctors he administered the drug, a critical omission that calls into question his method of treatment.
