@kirwan said in Harvey Weinstein:
Terry Crews has lodged a police complaint against Adam Venit for his groping incident. He’s been stood down, a powerful guy.
Terry Crews is an absolute legend. It's actually a pretty big thing considering he's a guy that could smack the shit out of any AB forward let alone some Hollywood slimeball. The urge to bust out some ghetto justice must have been almost impossible to resist.

Hollywood Reporter a few hours ago...
Louis C.K.'s Movie Premiere Canceled in Advance of N.Y. Times Story
The 'I Love You, Daddy' screening was abruptly axed just hours before it was set to take place.
The New York premiere of Louis C.K.'s upcoming film, I Love You, Daddy, set for Thursday, has been canceled. Reps for the premiere, due to take place at the Paris Theatre, cited "unexpected circumstances."
A source tells The Hollywood Reporter that a New York Times story on the comedian is about to break, and the premiere was canceled in case it is damaging. Additionally, Louis C.K.'s planned appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert was also canceled, with William H. Macy taking his place on the CBS show.
Louis C.K. wrote, directed and stars in I Love You, Daddy. The comedy-drama tells the story of a successful TV writer-producer who attempts to stop his 17-year-old daughter's (Chloe Grace Moretz) growing admiration and relationship with a 68-year-old filmmaker (John Malkovich). The film also stars Pamela Adlon, Rose Byrne, Charlie Day, Edie Falco and Helen Hunt.
C.K. shot the film entirely in secret last June. He also financed the project and edited it as well. Dave Becky of 3 Arts produced the film alongside C.K., Vernon Chatman, Ryan Cunningham and John Skidmore. Tony Hernandez executive produced.
The film has generated controversy following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. TIFF programmers screened and gave I Love You, Daddy a world premiere after C.K. surprised Toronto organizers and let them know the film existed.
Controversial dialogue is included throughout the film, including the use of the N-word by C.K.'s character and multiple jokes about child rape. C.K. previously defended the inappropriate content to THR. "We're depicting oxygen-rich people who live in these beautiful apartments and offices saying whatever they want," he said. "Folks say shit to each other. You can't think about the audience when you're making the thing. If you do, you're not giving them something that came out of your gut. You'll be making something that you're like, 'Is this OK for you?'"
The film pays homage to the cinematic work of Woody Allen, particularly the 1979 film Manhattan. In the Allen film, a 17-year-old girl (Mariel Hemingway) begins a romantic relationship with a 42-year-old man played by Allen.
A common criticism of I Love You, Daddy is that the film parallels the long-standing sexual abuse allegations against Allen. "We're at the bleeding edge of 'That's not OK to do now,' but those people are still around," C.K. said about dealing with the controversial topics in the film. "That's a very interesting line to be on."

It ain't exactly new "news" to anybody who's listened to the Howard Stern show for two decades where this has been a running joke, but it was published today and is one helluva great headline:
Steven Seagal accused of telling actress to sit on his face in 1991
Looks like she left her pubes on his chin and upper lip......

Today more women stepped forward and pointed finger at Al Franken. Big time pressure for him to resign. Then there was rumours past 24 hours that a big media personality was going down Monday. Many thought it was New York Times star reporter Glenn Thrush when he was exposed by Vox. He's going down. But nope, the big fish is Charlie Rose. Eight women have stepped up to tell their story to the Washington Post, and Charlie is suspended from PBS, CBS and Bloomberg.
"Rumors about Rose's behavior have circulated for years. [...]
"The young women who were hired by the show were sometimes known as "Charlie's Angels," two former employees said. Rose frequently gave unsolicited shoulder rubs to several of them, behavior referred to among employees as "the crusty paw," a former employee said."

And now breaking, the longest serving Member of Congress John Conyers has been accused by four women. So, if I'm counting correctly today, that's an ex-President, a Senator, a Congressman, a record producer mogul, a reporter for the New York Times, and Charlie Fucking Rose... and the day's not even over. Wonder what tomorrow will bring...?
