Maybe Farrah was in labor in the day her high school English class learned about feminism… Somehow, the Teen Mom star managed to miss out on the definition.

Kelly Siegler of Cold Justice made famous during her prosecution of Susan Wright

TNT’s reality show Cold Justice, premiering tonight, features two seasoned professionals who venture across small-town America to lend their expertise to try and resolve unsolved violent crimes. The concept has the makings of a hit and when you add in Dick Wolf’s (Law & Order) name as an Executive Producer, hopes are high for the show. The idea is the brain-child of prosecutor Kelly Siegler. She’s a Texas legend whose fame was ignited during the high-profile 2nd-degree murder case of defendant Susan Wright in 2003. Siegler prosecuted Wright, who was eventually found guilty of murdering her husband after she tied him to their bed, stabbed him over 200 times and buried him in the back yard. To drive home the visual, Siegler actually brought in the original blood stained mattress, had a male colleague tied to bedposts and straddled him while making a stabbing motion with a knife. See rare footage of that courtroom drama as well as additional information about the hard-nosed lady who rarely loses.

Why do people still get Catfished even though it’s so easy to avoid?

With his documentary film and MTV television show Nev Schulman and his production teams have shone a light on a new problem for our technologically advanced age: “Catfishing,” or entering into a romantic relationship with someone online while pretending to be someone that you’re not. If you’re chatting with someone online, there’s a simple solution to see if they’re who they say they are. If you absolutely cannot meet up with them, you can video chat. This capability wasn’t as widely available a few years ago, but now that webcams and cellphone cams are so prevalent, it’s no longer an excuse. If your online professional crush says they can’t afford any sort of camera on their model salary, they probably know someone who does and would let them use it for a few minutes. Getting Catfished is so easy to avoid, and even more so now that the TV show Catfish is so popular, probably making many people face the truths of their online relationships that they’ve been trying to avoid. So why does Catfishing still happen?
