She Fought The Law Alert™: Casey Anthony may get away with murder!

Publication: People
Date: 4 July 2011

In early June, the Enquirer had a story in a week full of stories about Casey Anthony that said the mom accused of murder might walk. I considered the story far-fetched then, but now that it's in People, it has a little more weight. I also have to say that recent expert testimony about the sloppiness of the autopsy might sway the jury, and the prosecution's use of a jailhouse snitch might backfire.

This blog is not big on prediction, so we will wait and see what the verdict is. Recall that this trial is taking place in Florida, a legal cesspool of a state rivaled only by Louisiana and Texas.

Sandra Bullock's adopted son Louis

Publication: People

Date: 10 May 2010

I have often made comments about the trouble supermarket tabloids are in and how their business model works against them. Publishing once a week with a two day lag time between printing and hitting the stands means scoops are very hard to come by.

Okay, now I eat some crow. I like it cooked tandoori style if it's all the same to you.

People and Sandra Bullock conspired brilliantly to release two blockbuster scoops simultaneously. Yes, she will divorce the scumbag Jesse James, and, oh by the way, she adopted a baby from New Orleans named Louis three months ago.

This is the "50 Most Beautiful People" double issue, and usually it would be a great big picture of Julia Roberts or George Clooney or Halle Berry on the cover and no mention of anything like breaking news. But instead it's very happy Sandy holding little Louis, an adorably fat baby who is already working on his totally cool 'tude.

Congratulations to everyone involved. In the space of days, with one picture on the cover of one magazine, Sandra Bullock goes from being a sad victim to a happy and gracious champion once again.

On the rocks alert:Sandra Bullock and divorce

Three different supermarket rags have the word "divorce" on the covers regarding Sandra Bullock's situation.

In Touch just says "Sandra divorce drama". This is the magazine that broke the story, but their focus this week was on Angelina being a B-E-O-T-C-H.

Us Weekly says the divorce plans are underway and talks about what Sandy will do to remain a part of her stepkids' lives.

People goes into more depth. They have more details about Jesse cheating and they acknowledge that Jesse is in therapy. When it comes to Sandra, they talk about how she is coping and her plans about what to do with the kids.

Rumors about divorce papers still swirl, but actual legal action hasn't been taken yet.

People got an interview with Carrie Underwood, the country star created by American Idol, but didn't think it was important to mention who it was she's in love with.

She's getting married to a hockey player, if you needed a hint.
