Last night, Lifetime aired the quickie cash-in TV-movie version of Jodi Arias' saga that resulted in the murder of her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Travis Alexander. Perfectly overacted, Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret featured Nomi Malone-sized breakdowns, a blowjob-to-Mormon-baptism transition, the line "I feel like a prostitute, Travis — a piece of toilet paper," a murder scene that stretched on for two full minutes and a wannabe haunting rendition of "O Holy Night" sung by Tania Raymonde (as Arias). Those highlights are above.

Who's the Chic Middle-Aged Drug Peddler in the NYT's MDMA Story?

Cord Jefferson · 06/21/13 07:09PM

The New York Times website just published a Style section piece on hip downtown party drug MDMA, aka "molly."
