Exclusive: Hln has lined up a trio of topical true-crime specials that will examine the cases of Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, Sherri Papini and Gabby Petito.

“She weaponized sexuality,” we hear of Maxwell in a promo for the first one, Sex Ring Secrets: Exposing Jeffrey Epstein (watch it below). Set to air August 15, the two-hour show exposes her as the mastermind behind the recruiting and grooming of young girls for Epstein, who died in jail while awaiting trial in 2019. It features interviews with Epstein accusers Alicia Arden and Jennifer Araoz, reports from people who were inside the courtroom during Maxwell’s trial and shocking details following the trial uncovering death threats on Maxwell. She was convicted on five sex-related felony counts late last year and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

1933: Radio soap opera One Man's Family expanded from being broadcast on the west coast only to the full nationwide NBC network.

B-actress Alicia Arden is literally betting her ass, that a hot Diy car wash will get Hollywood's attention. Arden -- who was Theresa Carter on "General Hospital" back in the early 2000s -- is still soaping it up as evidenced by her public strip down to a bikini -- at a West Hollywood car wash.
