Man charged in the killings of an 'American Idol' exec and her husband called 911 afterward, DA says
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man accused of killing an 'American Idol' executive and her husband used the couple's gun to kill them and later called the police, authorities allege. Los Angeles police previously said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary that afternoon, July 10, but left after finding 'no signs of forced entry or trouble.' Officers found the bodies of Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca four days later at their home in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles while carrying out a welfare check. They had been shot to death. During a town hall meeting Monday, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman told concerned residents that the man charged in the killings, Raymond Boodarian, made the initial 911 call, ABC7 reported. He said Boodarian used a gun registered to one of the victims in the attack, which authorities believe happened when they arrived home unexpectedly while he was burglarizing the place. Boodarian, 22, was arrested the day after the bodies were found. His lawyer, Brad Siegel, didn't immediately respond to an Associated Press voicemail Tuesday seeking comment. Kaye had been with 'American Idol,' the hit singing competition TV series, for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season 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.

Don't know how to deal with mental stress? This club has a wild solution; you usually can't do it at home
Every Sunday night in Chicago, a group meets at North Avenue Beach for a unique therapy. They scream out loud. Scream Club Chicago is a weekly meet-up where people come to release stress by screaming. The event is free, and more people join each week. The group meets every Sunday at 7 PM near Castaways in Chicago. One mother, Mamie Amin, even brought her 5-year-old daughter to show her how to express tough emotions. "We've had a lot of change in our life lately, and my daughter has been feeling a lot of feelings, and I feel like it's a really good thing for her to see grown-ups handling all their sad, hard feelings in a healthy way," Amin told ABC7. Scream Club Chicago was started by Manny Hernandez, a coach who moved from Los Angeles. He explains why he decided to start the club. "You never have permission to scream in the middle of your apartment, because the police will get called, so I decided to start something where people can meet up," Hernandez said. According to co-founder Elena Soboleva, it's a 'safe space' where no one judges. People feel supported and free to be themselves. Xander Ruvalcaba joined once and now comes every week. He says shouting made him feel lighter and happier. "I attended one day, and it made me feel happy at the end of it, getting all that screaming out of my system," he said. The session starts with deep breathing. Then, members throw biodegradable paper into the water. These papers carry written frustrations. After that, everyone screams into the lake three times. Tears are common. Hernandez says life builds up stress and emotions we don't always understand. Screaming helps let go. "There's things that happen in our everyday life that we don't necessarily know how to deal with, and I think that we're all just balls of energy of things that happen in our day-to-day lives, and we just hold on to that stuff a lot," Hernandez said. Bollywood fans have seen this before. Remember this scene from Life in a Metro?
