Giuliana Rancic I feel nothing but empathy for Giuliana. I thought she lived a fairy-tale life and wondered what it would be like to be her and have it all. I guess this proves that things are not always what they seem. Hang in there, Giuliana . . . for every person that finds you “disgustingly thin,” there are as many people that find you talented and beautiful. Robbie via e-mail

Erin Corwin, the wife of a U.S. Marine whom we wrote about in our Aug. 11, 2014, issue, expected a proposal from her alleged lover before she disappeared last June and was discovered nearly two months later at the bottom of a mine shaft near Joshua Tree National Park in California. At a pretrial hearing on April 2 for Chris Lee, her accused killer, prosecutors stated Corwin thought Lee was taking her to the desert to propose. “It apparently takes two hours just to get there,” she texted a friend. “The location is only half the surprise.” An autopsy revealed she was strangled with a homemade garrote, which was found next to her body, but it could not confirm whether Corwin was pregnant, because her body had decomposed.

A Copilot’s Dark Secrets
Though I admire Angelina Jolie’s bravery, each time I read about her decision to have surgery, I am left wondering about the other half of the story. How did she go about getting these types of tests and elective surgeries? It would be good to know if the same options are available for all women or if these procedures are something only afforded to the rich and famous.
Angelina Jolie has revealed many private issues for the benefit of others in her situation and is my hero.
