Former member of the Manson family and convicted murderer Susan Atkins, aka Sadie Mae Glutz, has requested a “compassionate release” from her home of the last 37 years, a state prison in Corona, CA.

Atkins, now 60, has little time to live as she is dying from terminal brain cancer. A supervising board will look over the request, though no timetable has been set. The sister of deceased actress Sharon Tate (whom Atkins held down while being stabbed and later wrote “PIG” on a door in Tate’s blood) had this to say:

“I don’t want to seem like a heartless creature, but in all my years, I never considered this could happen. She showed no compassion. She told my sister as she slit her throat that she didn’t (care) for her or her unborn baby.”

Atkins, who is apparently now a born-again Christian, has an estimated one month to live.

King of crazy Charles Manson released a new record this week via the opensource copyright organization Creative Commons just like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails. What’s Creative Commons? Well…

Creative Commons provides free tools that let authors, scientists, artists, and educators easily mark their creative work with the freedoms they want it to carry. You can use CC to change your copyright terms from “All Rights Reserved” to “Some Rights Reserved.”

You can download it here I’m sure it’s less than awesome.

In other news somewhat related to both crazy and Manson Lindsay Lohan will star in an upcoming movie about Charles Manson aptly titled Manson Girls. She will play Nancy Pitman, one of Manson’s cult followers/whores in the movie. She’ll also be getting naked in front of the camera (again).
