Interest in the Menendez brothers continues, thanks to the hit Netflix series. And there's a new twist… Does married Lyle Menendez have a girlfriend? And, earlier this week we aired our exclusive interview with Jay Leno who was walking to a restaurant when he says he fell and was badly bruised. Instead of going to the hospital - he went for lunch - chicken parm to be exact. We spoke with the Manager of the restaurant. Plus, the mounting questions about Matt Gaetz alledged sexual misconduct - including accusations he had sex with a minor - today formally took its toll. Gaetz officially withdrew his name from consideration as attorney general. It was clear the former Florida congressman could 'not' get the votes needed for confirmation. Gaetz denies any wrongdoing. And the Country Music Awards were handed out last night and the moment that still has people talking is Carrie Underwood's surprise performance.

30 years after she was convicted for drowning her little boys in her car, Susan Smith is asking a South Carolina parole board to free her from prison. Three decades ago at her press conference seen round the world, Smith cried crocodile tears, now people are again accusing her of faking her emotions. And when athletes make a touchdown or score a goal, they often do a little celebratory move. But lately those post score celebrations look an awful lot like that quirky dance President-elect Trump does. Now the NFL is officially weighing in - saying they've got no problem with it.  Plus, funeral services were held outside of London today for singer Liam Payne. It was a private service, attended by friends and family, his One Direction bandmates - and Simon Cowell, who formed the band nearly fifteen years ago. He was in tears.  And no one likes getting traffic tickets, but most people just pay the fine and try to do better next time. Not this guy. He set fire to a house that he thought belonged to the trooper who pulled him over. Turns out it was the trooper's father's house.

In an exclusive interview with Inside Edition, Leno says he fell down a hill outside his hotel. It's just the latest in a series of accidents for the former Tonight show host - but his sense of humor remains intact. And Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, continues to deny allegations of sexual misconduct.
