I spoke to Harvey Weinstein on Monday night.
'Harvey…how's your life?' I asked, winning myself the Most Stupid Question of the Year Award.
He sighed loudly, paused for a second or two, then chuckled, wryly. 'My life? It's really not that great right now to be honest, Piers…' At the time, he was still fighting to save his movie mogul career, and his marriage, after the New York Times bombshell report disclosing he had paid off eight women for sexual harassment.
Weinstein asked to go off-the-record, and we talked for another minute or so before I heard urgent mutterings and he suddenly said: 'I have to go….this is a very important call… I'm sorry… I'll call you straight back.' He didn't call back.
Within 24 hours, a blizzard of horrific new revelations erupted in the New York Times and New Yorker magazine featuring fresh allegations against Weinstein from myriad famous and non-famous women of rape, sexual assault and harassment.
Perhaps that 'very important call' was from one of those publications, or his lawyer, who knows?
It doesn't really matter now.
As I write this, Harvey Weinstein's career is gone, his marriage is gone, and his reputation as one of the greatest, and most successful, power brokers in Hollywood history is gone too.
Fired by his own company, and dumped by his wife Georgina, beleaguered Weinstein has escaped to a sex addiction clinic somewhere in Europe. It's a staggering fall from grace, even by the brutal standards of Hollywood. Yet it's a fall that deserves not a scintilla of sympathy, given the scale of his appalling behaviour.

I imagine Mr. Clarkson appearing from random doorways and closet portals just to punch Piers in the nose like some personal Bogeyman.
It would be hilarious.
He was also very critical of Streep’s hypocrisy at the Golden Globes.
Cory Haim. It’s going to blow Hollywood and the Democrats win Weinstein’s name is attached.
This was from 2016

believe that Haim’s rapist was probably connected to something bigger and that is probably how he has remained protected for all these years,” Feldman said in the 2016 THR interview. “This person uses intimidation and threats as a way to keep people quiet. And all these men were all friends. Ask anybody in our group of kids at that time: They were passing us back and forth to each other.
“I would love to name names. I’d love to be the first to do it,” he continued. “But unfortunately California — conveniently enough — has a statute of limitations that prevents that from happening.
“If I were to go and mention anybody’s name, I would be the one that would be in legal problems and I’m the one that would be sued.”
But now someone might finally be stepping up to the plate to name and shame the alleged abuser. RadarOnline says they’ve been investigating for four years and have the name of the predator: an A-list star who is the “kingpin of a child sex ring.”
And while they are not revealing the name — probably due to that same threat of lawsuit Feldman fears — they say one of Haim’s closest confidantes is preparing to tell all, and has been offered a primetime TV special to do so.
Everyone knew...except Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan is innocent, knew nothing, nothing at all, but everyone else knew.
Right....
