Winfrey talks to jailed mom

ORANGEBURG, S.C.

Talk-show host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey has conducted a jailhouse interview with a South Carolina mother who pleaded guilty to killing her two sons.

Winfrey went to the jail in Orangeburg last week where 30-year-old Shaquan Duley is awaiting sentencing.

Winfrey interviewed Duley’s family in September 2010, a month after Duley suffocated her 2-year-old and 18-month-old sons, then tried to stage their deaths by driving her car into a river. Prosecutors say she killed the children after being badgered by her mother about being a poor parent.

Duley faces 30 years to life in prison when she’s sentenced Friday.

The interview will air at 9 p.m. Sunday as part of “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on OWN.

Man pleads guilty to hacking

LOS ANGELES

A Florida man has pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to charges he hacked into the email accounts of such celebrities as Christina Aguilera and Scarlett Johansson, whose nude photos landed on the Internet.

Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Fla., entered his plea Monday to nine counts including wiretapping.

Prosecutors say Chaney illegally accessed email accounts of Aguilera, Mila Kunis and Johansson.

Authorities say Chaney forwarded celebrity photographs to two gossip websites and another hacker, but there wasn’t any evidence that he profited. He has apologized.

Chaney will be sentenced July 23.
