"I believe in God."
Michael LaSane, who pleaded guilty to the 1996 slaying of Middletown, NJ, teacher Kathleen Weinstein, as quoted in a transcript of a tape recording Weinstein secretly made as she repeatedly begged for her life. LaSane carjacked Weinstein and suffocated her so that he could keep her car as a present to himself for his 17th birthday. LaSane's plea was overturned in 2004 when it was revealed that his public defender engaged ina sexual relationship with LaSane's mother. LaSane is currently set to be tried again.

"It's amazing to me that God took three different women from three different walks of life and created the Dreamgirls. We were meant to be together."
American Idol also-ran, Golden Globe winner, and Best Supporting Actress nominee Jennifer Hudson, as quoted in Essence. It's nice to see God taking time out of his busy schedule of keeping the universe in order to cast a movie musical.
