Here's the Plot for Your Next Cooking-Themed Mystery Novel

Report: TV chef planned killing of wife for love - Yahoo! News: "The TV celebrity chef known as the 'Calorie Commando' had cooked up quite a plot: He would attend a party for his latest cookbook, 'The Love Diet,' while two homeless hitmen murdered his wife of 17 years.

The bizarre murder-for-hire plan was foiled when the would-be killers tipped off police.

What made the plot even stranger was what Juan-Carlos Cruz told police. He said he did it for love.

'Even though I was planning on whacking her, I'm very devoted. I know that's weird,' Cruz told police when he was arrested."

Oh yeah, a few weeks ago "The Soup" showed a clip of the book's co-writer, who was still making the rounds of the morning shows, trying to cook something while Kathie Lee Gifford asked her about Cruz's arrest. It was bizarre.
