We all have our favorite TV shows. But let's take things one extra step: do you have a show that you can say influenced your life?
Though it's a great escape, television can be a lot more than just a form of entertainment. There are examples out there of people who have considered careers, or changed how they thought, or gone on to do something awesome, or even just tried something new, because of something that they watched. I know of a few cops who became police officers because of the Fox show Cops (including at least one who was later on the show!) and others who said they thought about the career because of NBC's Third Watch. One of my friends wanted to be a marine biologist because of SeaQuest Dsv.
As summer arrives and we celebrate the holiday weekend, let's share some of those stories. They're the ones...

The Arizona shooting suspect's legal team is likely to use a mental defense, which could leave him in a hospital, rather than in prison, for life, a forensic psychiatrist tells Eve Conant. But whether Loughner ever sought or needed mental-health care is unclear. Plus, full coverage of the Arizona shooting.
Just how mentally stable is Jared Loughner?

Answering that question is the crucial next step in the investigation and criminal case for Saturday's shooting spree that left six dead, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded, and 14 injured.
"You can take it to the bank that lawyers will raise a mental defense. There is zero question in my mind about that," said Steven Pitt, a forensic psychiatrist and consultant to the Phoenix Police Department. "The case is not a whodunit. It's a case about why he did it and why he did it now.

HollywoodNews.com: Forget about losing your chips at a poker tournament, how about getting a migraine?
Ben Affleck had to pull out of the World Series of Poker “Ante Up for Africa” at Rio in Las Vegas for that very reason. The event was established by Annie Duke, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon and Montel Williams.
Speaking to Page Six, Affleck exclaims, “This is the one poker event I go to each year, and I didn’t even get to play.”
But if there’s one game to never underestimate celebrities in – it’s poker. “American Pie” beauty Shannon Elizabeth came in second with $80,000 while professional poker player Phil Gordon drew $129,086.
If you ever get the chance, be sure to watch “The Mentalist” star Robin Tunney play whenever she’s on TV – the actress is quite the smooth operator at the game.

Watch out, Grand Canyon State. You're about to get a visit from the She Wolf. And she's not too psyched about making the trip. Shakira is heading to Arizona this afternoon to inject herself into the controversy surrounding the state's new immigration law. "As a Latina, I'm very concerned how this law can impact working Hispanic families," the popster told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show. "I think that being detained in the street just because of the color of your skin is just wrong, and it's a violation of human and civil rights." The Colombian-born Grammy winner will hold a press conference with Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon followed by...
