Man charged with killing an ‘American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
Raymond Boodarian, charged with the fatal shooting of "American Idol" executive Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, appears in court on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2025, in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes) LOS ANGELES — A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighbourhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

Georgio Russell and Anna Sokolova win 2025 RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award
TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Georgio Russell and Anna Sokolova have won the 2025 RBC/PEN Canada New Voices Award. It is the first time the prize has been awarded to two writers. Each will receive a $3,000 cash prize and mentorship from a Canadian author of their choosing. Two Toronto-based writers have won the prize, which celebrates and supports unpublished, emerging Canadian writers. Post this Through a blind adjudication process, this year's jury of Canadian writers Lydia Perovic, Madeleine Thien, and Shashi Bhat chose the two Toronto-based writers from 960 entries from across Canada, nearly double the number of entries from the previous year. Georgio Russell is a Bahamian poet, a graduate of the University of the West Indies, and a fellow of the Obsidian Foundation and the Undocupoets. His winning poetry collection, Regatta of Ghosts, was described by the jury as "evocative, compressed, and rich in history and allusion" while "boldly reclaiming the vocabulary of oppression with supreme confidence and style". Anna Sokolova is a Russian-Canadian writer with an English MA in Creative Writing from the University of Toronto, where they are currently working on the latest issue of the program's literary journal, echolocation. Their winning poetry collection, Fragments to a Friend, was described by the jury as "delicious, energetic, and playfully colloquial, exploring friendship, girlhood, and the pain of longing" with "extraordinary range and a fresh, inventive voice." The jury also selected five finalists: Edie Reaney Chunn (based in Vancouver; recognized for their poetry collection, The Letters of Puppet and Clown), Emily Gaudet (based in Montreal; recognized for her poetry collection, Catherine and Simone), Gwen Aube (based in Montreal; recognized for her poetry collection, Missed Connections with Tall Girls), Helen Han Wei Luo (from Vancouver; recognized for her collection, A Compendium of Humble Creatures), and Mona'a Malik (recognized for her story, "The Last Mystery"). Praise for each writer, and excerpts from their work, is available to read on First awarded in 2013, the RBC / PEN Canada New Voices Award has for over ten years encouraged new writing and provided a space for unpublished Canadian writers, aged 17 and over. Every previous winner has gone on to publish their first book, novel or poetry collection. Previous winners include Christine Wu, Em Dial, Deepa Rajagopalan and Noor Naga. The award is funded by the RBC Emerging Artists Program, which supports the arts and the role they play in building vibrant communities and strong economies. Since its inception, the RBC program has supported over 35,000 emerging artists across the globe.

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling fatal dose to Matthew Perry agrees to plead guilty
A woman known as the 'Ketamine Queen,' charged with selling Matthew Perry the drug that killed him, agreed to plead guilty Monday. Article content Jasveen Sangha becomes the fifth and final defendant charged in the overdose death of the 'Friends' star to strike a plea agreement with federal prosecutors, avoiding a trial that had been planned for September. Article content She agreed in a signed statement filed in court to plead guilty to five federal criminal charges, including providing the ketamine that led to Perry's death. Article content Article content In a brief statement, Sangha's lawyer Mark Geragos said only, 'She's taking responsibility for her actions.' Article content Article content Prosecutors had cast Sangha, a 42-year-old citizen of the U.S. and the U.K., as a prolific drug dealer who was known to her customers as the 'Ketamine Queen,' using the term often in press releases and court documents. Article content She agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Article content The final plea deal came a year after federal prosecutors announced that five people had been charged in Perry's Oct. 28, 2023 death after a sweeping investigation. Article content Sangha admitted in the agreement to selling four vials of ketamine to another man, Cody McLaury, hours before he died from an overdose in 2019. McLaury had no relationship to Perry. Article content Prosecutors will drop three other counts related to the distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of methamphetamine that was unrelated to the Perry case. Article content Article content Sangha will officially change her plea to guilty at an upcoming hearing, where sentencing will be scheduled, prosecutors said. She could get up to 45 years in prison. The judge is not bound to follow any terms of the plea agreement, but prosecutors said in the document that they will ask for less than the maximum. Article content She and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who pleaded guilty last month, had been the primary targets of the investigation. Three other defendants — Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming — pleaded guilty in exchange for their cooperation, which included statements implicating Sangha and Plasencia. Article content Article content Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home by Iwamasa, his assistant. The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death. Article content Sangha presented a posh lifestyle on Instagram, with photos of herself with the rich and famous in cities around the globe. Prosecutors said she privately presented herself as a dealer who sold to the same kind of high-class customers.
