Katherine Heigl to Take On Carolyn Jessop's Polygamy Story

BuzzSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:31:10 PDT

Carolyn Jessop's memoir Escape will be adapted for the big screen, with Katherine Heigl attached to star and produce, Variety reports. Jessop, whose testimony helped convict polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs, "was born into the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints sect. At 18 she married a man 32 years her senior; at 35, she fled with her eight children."

Another memoir focusing on this same Warren Jeffs case was also recently acquired by a movie studio, Elissa Wall's Stolen Innocence. Apparently this particular case is becoming a favorite headline for filmmakers to rip.

Do you think Heigl will do well with this weighty drama?

Or does she? Watch Luna painstakingly jump, again and again, to grab hold of the handle and yank open her front door. But once the deed is done - without even breaking a sweat, thank you very much! - Luna doesn't make a run for it. She hovers in the doorway for a few. Nosy neighbor, much?

Dog Is So Over This Place

I once had a dog who had the most elaborate and creative ways of escaping the backyard when he had the urge. We could never figure out how he always got away without damaging the lawn and digging underneath the fence. A magic carpet maybe? Silly us...

Everyone needs a break from time to time, whether it's from your job, your family, your friends, or everything combined. While we know how you choose to blow off steam, what I want to know is what do you do when you just need a break? Are you the type that gets in the car to hit the open road, or do you go stay with friends for a long weekend? Ladies, do tell, what is your escape plan when you have just had enough?

Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian Breaks Out Her Bikini For a Tropical Getaway With Scott and Mason

Katie Henry — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:48:32 PST

Bikini-clad Kourtney Kardashian, boyfriend Scott Disick, and son Mason escaped their hectic schedules in LA for a few days and headed south of the border to Mexico last month for a family vacation. Kourtney sunned her baby bump in colorful two-piece suits while Scott and Mason wore bright swim trunks. Scott and Kourtney turned up the PDA on a romantic stroll and spent a fun afternoon on the beach with Mason playing on the sand.

This year is just kicking off and so far it's already been a busy couple of weeks for the Kardashian family. Kourtney, Kim and Khloe went topless for their latest Sears campaign, and if that wasn't enough the series finale of Kourtney and Kim Take New York finally aired on E! Close to 4.5 million viewers tuned in to see Kim tell Kris she wanted a divorce, which ranks as the third most-watched show in the network's history.

11 Things You Need to Throw Away

Emily Co — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:05:07 PST

The first step to taking care of yourself and de-stressing is to make sure that your environment is in order. Seeing your house full of clutter can affect your mood negatively and make your personal space seem like a place you want to escape from, rather than something to look forward to coming home to. Organize a "throwing out" day every month to make sure that you don't have clutter building up. Here are some things you should consider purging from your home:

Old magazines. Get rid of old magazines you have lying around because chances are, you aren't going to read them again. Find places where you can donate your magazines to such as child care centers, doctor's offices, nail salons, nursing homes, and libraries. If there's an article that really speaks to you, scan a digital image of it and keep it in your computer. Or keep a folder of magazine clippings if you like saving magazine articles.
Receipts, bills, and documents. Throw away receipts for items that you aren't planning on returning, and ones that you won't need to use come tax time. If you're wary of throwing away receipts, you can make a digital copy of them with a basic scanner, a pricey specialized receipt scanner ($174), or a smartphone app ($2). See here for a full list of documents you should keep forever or temporarily.
Clothes. Use the two-year-rule for clothes - get rid of apparel that you haven't worn in two years. Sell them to a thrift store (find a thrift store at thethriftshopper.com) or donate them to the needy.
Books. Go through your bookshelf and gather together books you haven't touched in months and ones that you aren't planning on rereading. Be realistic and make sure you're ruthless. If you haven't touched it in a year, you're most likely not going to read it again. Sell the books on Amazon, Craigslist, or eBay. You can even trade them for something else on swap.com. You can always donate them as well!
Medicine and vitamins. Take a look at your medicine closet and clear out drugs that have expired, medicine that has sat on your shelf for too long, or ones that you no longer use. First, check to see what the proper disposal methods are for the medication, and if you can't find any, check to see if your community has a drug take-back program. If there isn't a program near you, then the FDA advises mixing medicine with "used coffee grounds or kitty litter" in a container or sealable bag before throwing it away to make the drugs less appealing.
