1990 - Press Conference with Milli Vanilli. The Pop Group Duo announced to the world that they didn't sing one note on their 7 million plus selling album, "Girl You Know It's True." It spawned 5 top 10 hits including 3 number 1 songs. The duo won 3 American Music Awards and the Grammy Award for "Best New Artist" (1989).
"Milli Vanilli" returned the Grammy Award. The Academy didn't give it to either of the other 4 nominees - in that category.
Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus (Milli Vanilli) lost everything in 24 hours since that press conference. They would become infamous as the "Lyp-Sinc" Duo. Rob died in 1998 from an accidental drug over-dose. Fab continued a solo career since 1990.
Singer, John Davis died from COVID-19 in 2021. It's his voice and not Milli Vanilli, on the hit song, "Girl You Know It's True" (1988).
A new motion picture is now shooting called, "Girl You Know It's True." It is based on Milli Vanilli's rise and eventual fall in the music industry.
Below are the actors in this film.
Elan Ben Ali as Fabrice Morvan and Tijan Njie as Robert Pilatus.

UNSOLVED MYSTERIES - "When a life-long abduction experiencer, going by the alias -Suzie- to protect her privacy, was just fifteen, she began having unexplainable dreams of alien encounters. Decades later, she meets Abduction Researcher and Counselor John Budrys, who has spoken to many people with stories just like hers. For the first time, Suzie is ready to share her experiences."
INTERNAL AFFAIRS from DATELINE (NBC). The podcast drops the 2nd episode called "Busted." The running time stretches to 40 minutes. The murder of a cop's wife searches for a suspect at Greeley, Utah... Note - this is a real life soap-opera inside a police department.
The SERIAL Podcast 2014. Season One was hosted and narrated by journalist Sarah Koenig. It focused on the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee. She was found strangled to death and lying inside a shallow grave at the well-known "Leakin Park" (Baltimore, Maryland). Her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was charged with her murder. He was convicted and sentenced to "life" in prison. He always maintained his innocence....
Monday Sept. 19, 2022. Adnan's murder conviction has been vacated by a Maryland Judge. He was set free from prison and has to wait 30 days to see if prosecutors will re-charge him with murder.
The SERIAL Podcast aired from October through December in 2014 over 12 episodes. It became a huge phenomenon hitting 80-Million online downloads by February 2015.
Its' popularity produced an HBO documentary, a novel and countless news stories. Rumors of a possible movie production never materialized.
I listened to the 12 episodes three times. It had everything a murder mystery can have involving intrigue, lies, suppressed witnesses and a possible suspect other than Adnan. SERIAL covered it all including his ineffective defense counsel, the old 1999 cell phone evidence and those missing hours of police officer interviews. Most important is the man who claimed to be Adnan's accomplice. His story has changed numerous times since 1999.
The question is, "Who killed Hae Min Lee"?

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT on NBC. The 2022 Finals are coming soon this September... I used to watch and vote each season, but stopped before COVID-19. I decided to catch up on YouTube with most of the talent acts.
This is a family show which airs in Prime-Time during the Summer on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. It runs from May until the Finals in September.
There are many Talent Acts including "Horror Magicians" who add magic into their scary presentations. They never make it to the finals because they run out of original ideas that bring the "screams." Or they open up the Act onstage which loses the fear factor. They also go away from the "up close and personal" magic that scared even the judges.
Below are 3 of my favorite "Horror Magicians" who scored big with their auditions. All of them were cut before the semi-finals.
THE SACRED RIANA - She was creepy and her magic horror story was un-explainable. She performed intimately at the judges table. Riana later opened up her Act on-stage and it didn't execute the "scares."
