    Comedian Seth MacFarlane admitted Wednesday that he ripped Harvey Weinstein ahead of the 2013 Oscars after learning the movie mogul preyed on his pal Jessica Barth. Back then, the “Family Guy” creator notably cracked, “Congratulations, you five ladies no longer have to pretend to be attracted to Harvey Weinstein,” as he read off nominees for the Supporting Actress category. The clip has gone viral since the Weinstein scandal came to light.

    Washington Post ^ | October 9, 2017 | Erik Wemple
    ESPN doesn’t deserve to retain the services of Jemele Hill, its opinionated “SportsCenter” anchor. Proof? On Monday, the Disney-owned sports-broadcasting colossus suspended Hill for issuing an insightful tweet about the NFL, a league that ESPN supposedly covers. At issue was Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, a guy who is sounding a lot like the president of the United States these days. “If there’s anything that is disrespectful to the flag, then we will not play,” said Jones on Sunday after his team sustained a difficult loss to the Green Bay Packers. “Understand? We will not … if we are disrespecting the...

    Harvey Weinstein has today been accused of threatening to sabotage the careers of A-list stars, including Sienna Miller, if they didn't wear his wife Georgina Chapman's designs on the red carpet. The British-born mother-of-two, 41, set up Marchesa in 2004 and even before the scandal over rape and sexual harassment allegations broke, she faced the accusations that the label was only successful thanks to her husband's Hollywood connections.
  • Michael Smith Sits Out ‘SportsCenter’ Episode After Jemele Hill Suspension

    Real Clear Sports ^ | October 10, 2017 | Will Levith
    On Monday, ESPN suspended SportsCenter anchor Jemele Hill for two weeks after a series of tweets critical of Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones’ stance on standing for the national anthem—as well as calling for a boycott of Cowboys advertisers. The network said Hill had violated the company’s social media policy. As you might remember, ESPN seemingly went to bat for Hill last month, after she slammed President Trump on Twitter, calling him a “bigot” and “white supremacist.” That said, there were reports that the network had, at the time, attempted to replace Hill on that evening’s SportsCenter broadcast, but received...

    Following the publication on Tuesday morning of two more exposes detailing sexual assault and harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein, actress Heather Graham recalls indirectly being propositioned by the studio mogul.In the early 2000s Harvey Weinstein called me into his office. There was a pile of scripts sitting on his desk. “I want to put you in one of my movies,” he said and offered to let me choose which one I liked best. Later in the conversation, he mentioned that he had an agreement with his wife. He could sleep with whomever he wanted when he was out of town....

    Millions of people around the world over know the Northeast Heights home as the one owned by teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White in the AMC show "Breaking Bad," but it's not. It belongs to real humans. After years of taking vandalisms, trespassing and general rudeness in stride, the real-life homeowners have said enough, it's off limits. For Joanne Quintana, it's been a pretty ridiculous four years. "We feel like we can't leave because when we, do something happens and that's ridiculous," she said.

    Mike Ditka may want to stick to football after his most recent interview. The legendary Bears coach, who was a guest of NBC’s Jim Gray during the Bears-Vikings game on “Monday Night Football,” was asked little about Chicago rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky but instead weighed in on anthem protests going in the NFL. Ditka isn’t a fan and doesn’t see a reason for them either. "There has been no oppression in the last 100 years that I know of,” Ditka said. “Now maybe I’m not watching it as carefully as other people. I think the opportunity is there for everybody...
  • With ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Struggles, October Box Office Looks Rough

    Despite underperforming, “Blade Runner 2049” could still have the biggest box office opening this month After an “It”-fueled surge in September, the box office is slowing down again in the early stages of October. After “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” closed out last month by taking the top spot with just $17 million, “Blade Runner 2049” surprisingly underperformed with $32.7 million, well below hopes of a $45-50 million start. But despite that letdown, it could still have the highest opening weekend of this month, as the remaining releases on the October slate aren’t expected to do any better. This weekend, the...

    Jessica Chastain Says She Was ‘Warned From the Beginning’ About Harvey Weinstein’s History of Sexual HarassmentPerhaps like you, Jessica Chastain has been weighing in on social media with her thoughts on the recently revealed history of sexual harassment surrounding heavyweight Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The Academy Award-winning actress took to Twitter Monday to offer her opinion on the many moving parts of the still-unfolding scandal, retweeting Vulture’s own “heart shattering” story on allegations that Matt Damon and Russell Crowe had a hand in stifling similar accusations against Weinstein in 2004, and praising Kate Winslet’s acknowledgement that the Avatar 2 actress...

    A 35-year-old actress who has starred in off-Broadway shows and played bit parts on TV allegedly tried to push a fellow straphanger into the path of a subway train at Union Square over the weekend, law-enforcement sources told The Post. Keira Keeley’s random target was 57-year-old Leonore Gonzalez, of The Bronx, who was waiting on the 4-, 5- and 6- train platform. Keeley allegedly walked up and shoved her from behind at 12:15 a.m. Saturday. Gonzalez grabbed a pillar and narrowly avoided falling onto the tracks from the platform, police sources said.

    Fashion designer Donna Karan has come to her pal Harvey Weinstein‘s defense ​in a bold way ​– saying sexually harassed women may be “asking for it” by dressing seductively, according to the Daily Mail. “You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble,” she told the British tabloid in a red-carpet interview at the CinéFashion Film Awards in LA. “To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do...

    The Crown has so far taken no prisoners when it comes to depicting the secret life of the Royals, from the blazing arguments between the newlywed Queen and Prince Philip to the love life of Princess Margaret. Next series, it is to go one step further: exploring the relationship between the Windsors and the Nazi party. The Crown, the Netflix drama, will dedicate one future episode to the Edward VIII, the Duke of Windsor, and his dealings with the Nazis, in scenes set after he abdicated the throne to live in virtual exile.

    Rush was discussing the many Hollywood starlets who seemed to come out of nowhere, whose careers skyrocketed because of their "association" with sickening perv Harvey Weinstein. All of them were probably seriously sexually harassed but kept quiet because of their personal lust for fame and fortune. So in that sense, they enabled Weinstein's disgusting predatory behavior. This is a starting list of names. Please add to the list if you know of others: Amy Adams Gwyneth Paltrow Jennifer Lawrence Ashley Judd
