Robert Durst, subject of the HBO documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, has been arrested in New Orleans in connection with a Los Angeles murder.

Durst, 71, is a member of a prominent New York City family that owns a multibillion-dollar real-estate company. He was taken into custody in a hotel lobby Saturday night and was being held Sunday on a first-degree murder warrant, Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office documents said.

The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement Sunday that it has been investigating the slaying of writer and Durst confidant Susan Berman since her body was discovered in her West Los Angeles home on Christmas Eve 2000.

I knew I wasn’t and have been on a journey to have my mind meet my heart with that knowledge but it didn’t really change until a little over a year ago.

My other hoody is Tom Ford. (this executive hoody is for sale by Betabrand. Really.)

I live between two worlds which both have heavily skewed versions of reality: Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Both are in love with youth and with bling. Don’t let the hoodies of Palo Alto fool you. What this creates is also a false sense of success, since it is…
