Rich Juzwiak · 06/23/13 09:45AMLast 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.
