It's time to play another round of 'Wait, Is Mila Kunis Married Or Not?' The Jupiter Ascending actress is a guest on the inaugural episode of The Late Late Show With James Corden, and the question of her marital status came up again, because that's more important than anything else she's done lately, apparently. Kunis played coy at first until Corden spoke for everyone and said, "Either you're married or you're not." She then showed him her ring finger and he seemed to gather Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, who are parents to 5-month-old daughter Wyatt, secretly got hitched and didn't immediately announce it to the world.

Fans of AMC's The Killing will be saddened to hear that the series has been cancelled once again. The cable network has decided not to bring the crime drama back for a fourth season. Originally cancelled after Season 2, The Killing was revived after a strong backlash from fans when it was made known that a third season was not planned.

From June 1962 through January 1964, 13 single women between the ages of 19 and 85 were murdered throughout the Boston area. Many people believed that at least of 11 of these murders were committed by the same individual due the similar manner in which each murder was committed. It was believed that the women, who all lived alone, knew the attacker and let him in, or that he disguised himself as a repairman, or a delivery man to get the women to voluntarily let him into their apartments. “In every case, the victims had been raped – sometimes with foreign objects – and their bodies laid out nude, as if on display for a pornographic snapshot. Death was always due to strangu…

On July 10, 1942 the first of five brutal murders and rapes began with the 20 year old red-haired wife of a man named William Brown. Charles Floyd entered the Brown’s home and strangled his wife to death before brutalizing her body. She was pregnant at the time so police ruled the murder as a double homicide. Six months later Georgina Green and her happily married daughter were alone in their home when Floyd broke in. He bludgeoned both of them to death. They were both redheads, which helped police understand that the killer had an affinity for red-haired women. On May 15, 1945 the killer struck again.
