By Tori Richards - AOL NewsLOS ANGELES -- A defenseless Monica Burgos cried and screamed for help as she was beaten and smothered inside a Cancun hotel room by her TV producer husband, who then dumped her lifeless body in a sewer, a Mexican prosecutor said in an affidavit filed here Monday.

The Weird World of Steven Tyler
By Monica Garske - AOL News"American Idol" isn't exactly known for being edgy or weird, but judging by new judge Steven Tyler, times they are a-changin'. Tyler spoke briefly with the press Tuesday about the brand-new season of "American Idol," which kicks off at 8 tonight on Fox. Instead of sugar-coating his new job on the show or touting specific contestants, the outspoken, clearly unpredictable Aerosmith rocker said what he wanted, when he wanted. Even if it made no sense. Michael Becker, FOX Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are the latest celebrities to join Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest on "American ...

A Magical Life Cut Short, but Lived on Her Own Fierce Terms
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyIt seems like yesterday. It seems like a hundred years ago. After my friend Linda Elizondo died of cancer last week, her sister-in-law sent me an old photograph which, she thought, captured Lindy's joie de vivre. "A magical life cut short," Lindy's sister-in-law wrote, "but lived on her own fierce terms." I had taken the picture 35 years ago. I don't remember taking it. Not a very natural pose. (Is it any wonder I didn't last long in photojournalism?) What is Lindy doing? What's with the unopened bottle of wine leaning against her leg? The answers are lost to history. Except for the color ...

Shark Attack Survivors Fight to Save Sharks
By Larry Knowles - AOL News

A group of shark attack survivors, all of whom either lost limbs or suffered permanent injury in their attacks, came together in New York City recently to fight for the very predator that nearly killed them. On Sept. 13, the Pew Environment Group held a press conference in which the survivors called on the United Nations to adopt shark conservation measures, including a ban on "finning," or killing sharks solely for their fins. Three of the survivors recounted their attacks in gory detail before explaining why they had turned to defending sharks. ...

By Mara Gay - AOL News(Sept. 10) -- Jeane Burgos and Carla Van Bastelaar want justice for their sister, the slain wife of former "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, and are asking the U.S. government for help.

Top 10 Best and Worst Reality TV Shows
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe flurry of posts by my female colleagues on movies and TV shows has gone Right. Over. My. Head. I have never heard of this Julie-whatever movie they are debating. What's the big whoop? And although I've seen a couple episodes of "Mad Men," I think the show is boring and unwatchable. I'm way out of my league trying to debate these TV shows that -- let's be frank -- don't have a chance in heck of being on the cover of Us Weekly. So really, why watch? Go ahead and call me superficial, low-brow, cheesy, trashy, shallow and unsophisticated; I accept all those descriptions. So I'm ...
