Dalia Dippolito gets her (unwelcome) close-up on “Snapped”

By Leslie Gray Streeter   |  Breakups, Documentaries, Gossip, Reality TV, TV, commentary  |  January 09, 2012

Guilty? The law says yes. But her hair looked fabulous.

I love “Snapped,” or as I sometimes called it, “Crazy Beyotches,” Oxygen’s pulpy documentary series about women who snap (get it?) and kill or attempt to kill somebody. It’s usually short, full of punchy interviews, great editing and twists and turns that make you go “What? Did that really happen?” I love it so much that in my occasional stand-up act I joke that it makes my husband a little nervous. (“He says ‘Gee, honey, I hope we never wind up on that show’ and I say ‘We would never be on that show….They would never trace it back to me…More peas? No?’”)

So I was extra-excited for Sunday night’s premiere of one of the most mind-blowing homegrown murder-for-hire plots I’ve heard of – the Dalia Dippolito case. You remember – the gym bunny convicted of hiring someone to kill her hapless husband, caught giving the performance of all performances on a police tape pretending to be distraught when notified of his “death.” Because he wasn’t dead. Whoops.

The episode is not only interesting because of the weird details, like the tape of her convincing her would-be accomplice to smile while she’s making “sure, sure” that he can get a gun, or because it’s local. It provides the inspired commentary of not one but two of my former Palm Beach Post colleagues, court reporter extraordinaire Susan Spencer-Wendel and police reporter turned Boynton Beach Police public information officer Stephanie Slater. Susan, you might know, has resigned to deal with the effects of Lou Gehrig’s Disease, while Stephanie’s been working with the police for a while.

Fun fact: “Working with the police” is my family’s metaphor for being detained by the authorities for an extended period on an involuntary basis…as in the hoosgow. Which is where Dalia, she of the pouty lips and awesome “I’m a widdle lamb” innocent eyes, will be headed if her appeal of her conviction doesn’t pan out (she’s currently on house arrest).  I had followed the case, perhaps like all of you, but there were some tidbits that were delicious:

- The tape of Dalia’s reaction to her husband’s “death,” where she quite clearly asks several times to see the body. Police take this as evidence that she wants confirmation that her deal, and subsequent inheritance from her hubby, has come through. Of course, she could have just been in shock but…the tape of her setting things up with an undercover cop posing as a hitman says “Liar, liar, surgically enhanced boobs on fire.”

- The unexpectedly hilarious tape of post-arrest Dalia, who, as Susan says, is completely delusional in her denial of the plot, even as police explain she’s been recorded planning it. In a shocking twist that tells me that someone at Boynton Beach Police has watched a lot of “Perry Mason,” we see her lay eyes on Michael, who she’s been told was dead. She keeps saying “Come here! Come here!,” to which he responds something like “Sister, please.” It reminded me of those Scooby Doo cartoons when Scoobs and the gang are fleeing from the villain of the week, who holds out a spindly evil arm and says “Come back here!” Yeah Evil Guy, and wife who’ve I just seen on tape plotting to kill me. That’s gonna happen.

- The fact that Mike Dippiito agreed to be on the show, despite his admittedly shady past and apparently poor character judgement. He’s kinda funny. I feel bad for him that his wife tried to kill him. But weirdly he seems to be taking it in stride.

Did you see it? What did you think? And if your spouse was caught on tape planning your death, would you be in a documentary about it?

AP NewsBreak: Demi Moore to divorce Ashton Kutcher

By Associated Press   |  Breakups, Celeb Stalker  |  November 17, 2011

Demi Moore is ending her marriage to Ashton Kutcher.

The 49-year-old actress announced her divorce plans to The Associated Press Thursday, saying she’s doing it with “great sadness and a heavy heart.”

She said that “as a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life.”

Moore adds that it’s a trying time for her and her family, so she asked for people to respect her privacy.

Moore and Kutcher were wed in September 2005. The couple’s relationship became tabloid fodder in recent months as rumors swirled about Kutcher’s alleged infidelity.

Kim Kardashian: Intuition led to divorce decision

By Associated Press   |  Breakups, TV  |  November 03, 2011

A grim-looking Kim Kardashian said “intuition” led her to end her 72-day-old marriage, insisting in an Australian television interview on Thursday there was no “right or wrong” way to handle the situation.

The hosts of Australia’s “Sunrise” program grilled the 31-year-old reality TV star on how hard she worked to save her brief marriage to pro basketball player Kris Humphries, asking whether she had sought counseling before filing for divorce.

“I think when you know so deep in your heart that you just have to listen to your intuition, and follow your heart,” Kardashian replied. “There’s no right or wrong thing to do.”

Kardashian, who is in Australia with her sister Khloe to promote a line of handbags, has faced withering criticism since she filed for divorce from Humphries on Monday after just 10 weeks of marriage. Her lavish, black-tie wedding was featured in a two-part, four-hour special on the American entertainment network E!, and critics have called it a greedy, moneymaking publicity stunt that garnered her millions of dollars. E! executives denied they orchestrated the nuptials.

“I think what really just, I think, upsets me most is that there has been from the start so many rumors of money and dollar signs … and so much of it not being true,” Kardashian said.
