‘Beautiful Women of North Dakota’

Twenty-two "Beautiful Women of North Dakota" get their place in the sun in frigid Fargo, ND -- and ET takes you behind the scenes. From a 25-year-old woman living courageously with disabilities to a 102-year-old woman who is more active than many people half her age, plus a mom and soldier getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan, photographer Bill Black and his wife, bestselling author Chris Linnares, have found true beauty in 22 women who call North Dakota home. It all began when Bill and Chris set out on a road trip and discovered where beauty truly lies: in the soul. What started out as a project to teach their daughters about true, inner beauty, turned into an empowering book and an art exhibition. Check out the video and the Web site: www.beautifulwomenof.com.

Lawyers for Anna Nicole Doc: Don’t Suspend His Medical License

Lawyers for a doctor accused of illegally providing Anna Nicole Smith with drugs are requesting that his ability to practice medicine not be suspended pending an outcome of that matter. Lawyers for Dr. Sandeep Kapoor are petitioning a California court, asking a judge to disregard a request from the Medical Board of California which would prohibit the doctor from practicing pending a possible conviction. The lawyers say in court papers that taking away Kapoor's ability to practice medicine before any possible conviction was a violation of due process rights provided by the constitution. Kapoor, along with Smith's former companion Howard K. Stern and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, has been ordered to stand trial on charges of allegedly providing the late star with prescription drugs illegally. The decision was made following a three-week preliminary hearing that was held to determine if the three should stand trial. Read More »
