By the time of his death at just 33, singer Sam Cooke had become a bona fide superstar, as well as being an effective activist in the movement for Black equality in America. He had also been married twice, and it's in the story of his second wife, Barbara Campbell Cooke, where things get very complicated, very fast. Because Barbara did not attend Sam Cooke's funeral alone. She was escorted by his friend, protege, and guitar player Bobby Womack, who drove her there in Sam's car, dressed in Sam's best clothes. And the story only gets worse from there. Want early, ad-free episodes, regular Dumpster Dives, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more? Join us at patreon.com/trashydivorces!

The Miami Hurricanes had a disappointing 2023-24 college basketball season, and now coach Jim Larranaga will have to rebuild without Norchad Omier or Wooga Poplar after the two stars entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday. Kyshawn George won't be of help either as he is keeping his name in the 2024 NBA draft, putting the 'Canes in a tough spot as they look to compete in the ACC.Sticking with the ACC, Louisville and new coach Pat Kelsey have added eight big time players in the transfer portal, the latest being former Wisconsin point guard Chucky Hepburn. Joining Hepburn will be Koren Johnson from Washington, J'Vonne Hadley from Colorado, Terrence Edwards from James Madison and Aboubacar Traore from Long Beach State. Will Kelsey be able to get the Cardinals into the NCAA Tournament in his first season?We close the show discussing the Big 12 - Big East challenge, wondering why the three marquee matchups - Baylor vs UConn, Kansas vs Creighton, and Marquette vs Iowa State - are all on the same day, and why Houston drew Butler and Texas Tech drew DePaul.Join the Locked On College Basketball Discord: https://discord.gg/bsKxDp8Qqb Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Some stories contain great seeds of trash that bloom instead into a resilient forest, and that's our story today. Actor Robert Downey Jr., Marvel's Iron Man, famously had a rough start to his career. For years, he was in and out of rehab, in and out of jail, and keeping the Los Angeles Police Department plenty busy with various drug-fueled bad decisions. Talented though he obviously was, he was all but written off by Hollywood in the early 2000s, when he finally found the strength to sit with his demons and chose not to let them control him any longer. There was also a long relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker and a doomed - for obvious reasons - first marriage along the way. Here's Robert Downey Jr. performing a snippet of Joni Mitchell's 'River' on Ally McBeal: 2006 Robert Downey Jr. - Joni Mitchell's 'River' (YouTube link) Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

When The Sopranos premiered on HBO in 1999, no one knew how thoroughly it would change television for a generation. Mob boss Tony Soprano, portrayed so ably by actor James Gandolfini, was a complex anti-hero who was capable of both shocking violence and everyman confusion and ambivalence about his role as a father, husband, son, mobster, and human being. Gandolfini himself may have been the perfect actor for the role, but becoming Tony Soprano was harder than the public knew. He battled his own demons throughout the series run, including during his divorce from his first wife, while the few years he had remaining post-Sopranos at least seem to have represented a fresh start.

Content note: Discussion of suicide. For a vanishingly brief few years in the late 80s and early 90s, America fell in love with a French actor most known for his small stature and high excitement at new arrivals. When Herve Villechaize opened Aaron Spelling's Fantasy Island with the exclamation, "The plane! The plane!" the public knew they were about to treated to another charming adventure featuring stars old and new. Unfortunately for Herve, his ego and excesses - he claimed to have slept with 35 women while filming a Bond movie in the 70s, during his first marriage - would get in the way of his continuing stardom, and increasing medical complications would rob his life of joy.

Poison is a bad way to go. Overtime, poisoning has become known as a "feminine" mode of murder. But do the facts support that contention? And what are some of the stories behind the most famous poisoners in history? Are there lesser-known cases that are just as interesting? What motivates somebody to start dabbling in poisons?We were fortunate enough to speak about all these topics with author and illustrator Lisa Perrin. She recently published a wonderful book called The League of Lady Poisoners: Illustrated True Stories of Dangerous Women, filled with beautiful — and spooky — illustrations and fascinating stories about toxins, trauma, and torturous murder.The Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases.Buy the book here, or wherever you buy books: https://www.amazon.com/League-Lady-Poisoners-Illustrated-Dangerous/dp/1797215884/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&&qid=&&sr=&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=f89951a7dd212cdbabe32c9d3a86dafa&camp=1789&creative=9325Check out Lisa's website here: http://www.madebyperrin.com/Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Here on the Murder Sheet, we're all about real-life mysteries.

That an actor and a musician would be divorcing isn't really news, but in the case of Jonas Brothers frontman Joe Jonas and his recently filed divorce from wife of four years, Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, a dumb PR move turned it into a huge story.

Alicia has the delightfully dapper - if frequently ill-timed - story of English actor Roger Moore and his four marriages. Three of them featured a surprising amount of violence directed at him; two of his wives simply refused to allow him to divorce for years after he had moved on to new relationships. In spite of the tumult, the third James Bond seems to have permanently remained a caring, deeply decent person. Want early, ad-free episodes, bonus divorces, limited series, Zoom hangouts, and more?

Back in September 1990, Lisa Pruett, a sixteen year old resident of Shaker Heights, Ohio, slipped out of her house for a late night rendezvous with her boyfriend. She never made it home. They found her body the next morning; she had been stabbed to death just about 30 feet from her boyfriend's house. A man named Kevin Young ended up being charged with the crime.But he was acquitted. Yet that didn't remove the clouds of doubt around him; law enforcement investigators and others believe Kevin got away with murder. Others maintain it was a travesty that he was even charged with the crime in the first place. Now James Renner steps into the fray with LITTLE CRAZY CHILDREN, a meticulously reported new book on the subject. Renner- a reporter with a long track record of investigating and writing about true crime- came to this story convinced that Kevin was wrongfully charged and that another man was in fact responsible for the crime. You can find James' book on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/Little-Crazy-Children-James-Renner/dp/0806542551/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2YYMPUPNTRZV7&keywords=little+crazy+children+james+renner&qid=1689872428&sprefix=james+renn%252Caps%252C110&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&_encoding=UTF8&tag=murdersheet-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=15b3e6211f3eb347fd8a7b0db47d0330&camp=1789&creative=9325The Murder Sheet participates in the Amazon Associate program and earns money from qualifying purchases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Love mysteries?

Atlanta's Bishop Eddie Long made himself a prominent voice in the fertile world of Prosperity Gospel preachers in the early 2000s. His charismatic preaching style and internationally broadcast sermons grew his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church to more than 25,000 members, and landed Bishop Long behind the wheel of luxury Bentleys and enjoying time aboard private jets.
