North Carolina police are on the hunt for a man who they believe murdered his son and injured his wife . Earl Valentine allegedly forced his way into his ex-wife’s house and shot her. His reign of terror did not end there. He then shot his 15-year-old son, killing him. The police have no idea where Valentine is, but they stressed that he could be armed and dangerous. “We got a call from Valentine’s son, who told dispatchers, ‘My dad just shot me and my mom,’ ” Police Chief Taylor Bartholomew revealed to PEOPLE. “We got to the home, and they were taken to the hospital with severe injuries.” “The young man passed away soon after.” This is such a heinous crime. If it wasn’t bad enough that he murdered his son, Valentine had the audacity to confess to it via Facebook. He basically blamed it all on his ex-wife. However, that does not explain why he opened fire on his son. “She lied on me, had warrants taken out on me. She drug me all the way down to nothing,” Valentine said on the video, which has been removed from his Facebook page. Bartholomew also revealed that he had a chat with Valentine, but Valentine revealed his tirade of terror was not over. “He wanted to know if his ex-wife was dead, because he told me she deserved it,” Bartholomew said. “He said he was going to kill the rest of her family, and I tried talking him into coming back.” “But he told me he was gonna throw the phone away and kill himself after murdering her relatives.” Thus far, Valentine has not attempted to attack any of his ex’s family in Virgina. Bartholomew also revealed that Earl expressed no remorse for his crimes throughout the phone call. What the heck? We hope this sick man is apprehended and brought to justice soon.
We did not see this one coming. Elizabeth Gilbert, she who has been blessed by Oprah and inspired every girl in her 20’s to customize an Eat Pray Love vacation of their own, has followed her happiness and fallen in love with her best friend, Rayya Elias. Back in July, Gilbert confirmed that she and husband Jose Nunes – whom she famously met in Bali during the “Love” section of her best-selling book, Eat Pray Love – were separating. At the time, Gilbert chose not to reveal the reasons behind the couple’s split, but today the world-famous author wrote a note to her fans on Facebook, admitting that she has fallen for Elias, who was diagnosed with cancer this past spring. Dear Ones – There is something I wish to tell you today — something which I hope and trust you will receive with grace. This spring, I received news that would change my life forever. My best friend Rayya Elias was diagnosed with pancreatic and liver cancer — a disease for which there is no cure. In the moment I first learned of Rayya’s diagnosis, a trap door opened at the bottom of my heart (a trap door I didn’t even know was there) and my entire existence fell straight through that door. From that moment forward, everything became about HER. I cancelled everything in my life that could be cancelled, and I went straight to her side, where I have been ever since. Something happened to my heart and mind in the days and weeks following Rayya’s diagnosis. Death — or the prospect of death — has a way of clearing away everything that is not real, and in that space of stark and utter realness, I was faced with this truth: I do not merely love Rayya; I am in love with Rayya. And I have no more time for denying that truth. The thought of someday sitting in a hospital room with her, holding her hand and watching her slide away, without ever having let her (or myself!) know the extent of my true feelings for her…well, that thought was unthinkable. Here is the thing about truth: Once you see it, you cannot un-see it. So that truth, once it came to my heart’s attention, could not be ignored. But what to do with this potentially life-shattering truth? Now let me tell you something I’ve learned from Rayya, over the fifteen years of our friendship. She is the most brave and honest person I know, and she has taught me more about courage and honesty than anyone I have ever met. Here is her mantra on truth, which I’ve heard her express so many times over the years, in so many difficult situations: “The truth has legs; it always stands. When everything else in the room has blown up or dissolved away, the only thing left standing will always be the truth. Since that’s where you’re gonna end up anyway, you might as well just start there.” So. Here is where we stand now: Rayya and I are together. I love her, and she loves me. I’m walking through this cancer journey with her, not only as her friend, but as her partner. I am exactly where I need to be — the only place I can be. Gilbert gently encouraged her fans not to send tips/stories/remedies for Elias’ cancer, because they have been overwhelmed by information in the past months. Instead, Gilbert requested that people send “whatever extra love” that’s being carried around in their hearts. “It will be felt,” she wrote. “And it will help. We will resonate with it, and we will thank you for it.”
As you’ve probably heard by now, Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston have broken up after just three months of dating. We’ve already broken down the big theories regarding where it all went wrong for Swift and Hiddleston , but despite the mountains of speculation on the Internet, two important questions remain: 1. Who was the one that finally decided to pull the plug on this brief, possibly fake relationship ? And: 2. Who’s “winning” the breakup in the eyes of fans? Sadly, it’ll probably be a while before we get any concrete answers with regard to the first question. Of course, the truth will come out eventually as Taylor’s exes generally do talk to the press at some point (as evidenced by the Calvin Harris interview published by British GQ today). And of course, Taylor always vents her frustrations in song form. But this time she may have met her match in terms of coming out on top after a highly publicized breakup. Yes, it seems that the answer to the second question – that of who’s being perceived as the more likable of the two in the wake of the Swiddles split – seems to be pretty clear. Maybe it’s the fact that Taylor is disliked by so many social media users these days that the “Taylor Swift is over party” became a worldwide trending topic during her recent PR troubles… View Slideshow: Taylor Swift Is Over Party: Twitter Users Celebrate Singer’s Downfall …or perhaps it’s the fact that Hiddleston has such a solid reputation as a nice guy that he’s beloved by a legion of devote fans, even though he’s most famous for playing a supervillain. Whatever the case, the court of public opinion has spoken, and the verdict is nigh-unanimous: According to social media, Hiddleston is the good guy here. “Insiders” from both camps have blamed the other party for being overly concerned with fame and appearances, and unwilling to put in the time and effort necessary to make a relationship work. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the split comes on the heels of the worst week of Taylor’s career (during which she feuded with Kim Kardashian, got dissed by Harris, and took multiple hits to her reputation), but the public is only buying Hiddleston’s story. Interestingly, Taylor’s “hell week” may have contributed to the conditions under which the breakup took place. View Slideshow: 14 Famous Dudes Who Have Dated Taylor Swift Several sources have indicated that Hiddleston badly wanted Swift to attend the upcoming Emmy Awards ceremony with him. Apparently, she had previously agreed to do so, but then decided against it, as she’s lying low until her current mini-scandals blow over. Taylor skipped the VMAs last week to nurse her ailing ego/reputation, and she apparently informed Hiddleston that she’s had a change of heart about working the red carpet at the Emmys as well. According to some sources, this sparked an argument which the young relationship simply couldn’t survive. Like we said, it may be quite some time in tell you find out exactly what happened. But we wouldn’t be surprised if Taylor is in a studio somewhere trying to think of words that rhyme with “Emmy.”
