Wealthy People Capable of Evil? Get Out!
A writer at Vanity Fair watched Ken Burns documentary about The Civil War and was dumbstruck by the revelation that John Wilkes Booth lived a mostly charmed life prior to becoming a presidential assassin.

Shia LaBeouf, who I’m ecstatic is no longer attached to the “Y: The Last Man” project, went into details about the reconstructive surgery he had following a nasty crash crash in July 2008.
