Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke for a musical salute to New Orleans, led the nominee field going into tonight with nods in eight categories. Even Robin Thicke got it all the way in, he was groovin’ wasn’t he? Still think he got jerked on the Album of the Year but hey, that’s life for ya! In addition to Jennifer Hudson's televised win for R&B album of the year, pre-show awards were also given.
There can't be many better authorities on good lovin' than silky smooth soul man, Robin Thicke. So at a pre-Valentine's Day party thrown by 1-800 Flowers, OK! talked to the Lost Without U singer about the perfect February 14th, some of the most romantic treats he's given his wife — actress Paula Patton — and the couple's baby plans. What I’ve learned is just to make sure the day is not like any other day of the year. You can’t just take her to the same restaurant you always go to. That won’t work.
But I remember one Valentine’s Day she was filming. We couldn’t be together so I sent her a box of like 50 different gifts. Karma Sutra stuff: candles, lingerie, chocolate, a brand new computer, an iPod — everything I could think of to tell her how much I loved her from far away.When I met her, the reason I wanted to be with her is because she made me want to be a better person. And when you have somebody to answer to that you want to answer to, that’s what love is.

Cynthia Sommer

Cynthia Sommer was convicted of Todd’s murder. But did she actually poison her husband, or was she being judged for her scandalous behavior Usually a verdict means the end of a case, but for Cynthia Sommer, the biggest surprise was yet to com. Marine Sgt. Todd Sommer, 23, seemed to be in peak physical condition before he suddenly collapsed and died in February of 2002.
Prior to that fatal day, Todd had complained of severe stomach pains and nausea, information that led NCIS to order a rarely performed test on some of Todd’s tissue samples. The results, prosecutors said, proved that Todd Sommer was the victim of a lethal dose of arsenic. And only one person had both motive and opportunity – his wife, Cynthia.
Although authorities never uncovered direct proof that Cynthia purchased the deadly powder or poisoned her husband, prosecutors believed Cynthia’s questionable behavior in the aftermath of Todd’s death still gave them plenty of ammunition against her. The military police officer who drove her to the hospital recalled that she never shed a tear, and instead of being in a hurry to get to Todd, she asked if they could stop for cigarettes.
