Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

lol Baldwin has always been such a useful idiot

hooooly shit @ Sheen allegation, didn't see that coming

you didn't see a Charlie Sheen allegation coming

Charlie Sheen is a piece of shit but people have always found him charming bc he's so self effacing and lol "winning" and so on. his post-scandal success is a pretty good example of ppl tolerating shitty behavior from shitty men and even celebrating it.

it's not that I ever thought Charlie Sheen is a good person, it's more that I forgot he was even in a movie w Haim and that the two had crossed paths during the time in question

xp I think all that 2011 tiger blood winning shit went away when he came out and said he had HIV in the fall of 2015. Bree Olson went on Howard Stern the same morning as Sheen was interviewed by Matt Later on the Today Show, iirc they were on at the exact same time.

Sheen's early 2011 run was definitely a watershed moment / turning point for media & pop culture in the USA... such a strange year

I know I've read basically that exact Sheen allegation before somewhere.

the closest thing our culture has ever come to a "run forrest!" moment.

Yeah, ever since Feldman began talking publicly about child molestation in Hollywood, I've heard the Sheen rumors.

i guess???????? i can't for the life of me remember why ppl were paying attention to him

did he tweet a bunch of stuff

Yep.

The guy who makes the allegation in the Radar link above though has also been the subject of those rumors as well. Would be nice if Corey F. would just open up about everything.

the way the whole Two & a Half Men thing went down, his insane media blitz, the tweeting, getting together with one of the most famous porn stars at the time, that weird tour he did... it was unlike any other celebrity "breakdown" before. was of a piece with the Arab Spring imo, which happened just a month or two earlier, had a lot to do with traditional gatekeepers of information being undermined by social media

ah ok i wasn't aware it was a "breakdown", i thought he was just being a "bad boy" or something

nah he was completely gakked out on coke and steroids and giving all these insane interviews everywhere and posting videos on twitter and shit

i sort of get what you mean in the sense that i was like "wait why does everyone care about this, what is going on, did US magazine buy the internet"

xp

ah ok got it

Ancient bore Gay Talese tries to interject himself into the discussion, is annoying and stupid https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/11/08/author-gay-talese-feels-sorry-for-kevin-spacey-says-his-accusers-should-suck-it-up/

this was actually a funny post gj

Gay Talese, living by the code of conduct he learned in 1950.

I feel like this could go in, um, any which direction. https://t.co/N0l6bpBxxE

I didn't think I could think any less of Seagal.

Didn't he movie to Russia specifically because he felt (a la Gary Glitter) that the West was too uptight about sexual predators?

there is absolutely no way the keith urban thing is a good idea, holy shit

Will the Keith Urban song be better or worse than the Brad Paisley/LL song?

Has Nicole Kidman said anything about Weinstein yet?

I like my country songs like I like my Law and Order episodes: ripped from the headlines

"The Angry Urbanian"

Country music world not known for boldly challenging conservative conventions. Hollywood is more likely to be his main target, not sexual predators.

Isn't he married to Nicole Kidman? I guess the best we can hope for is rage.

Imagine what the reaction would have been a year ago if Rose McGowan had said, "I'm surrounded by secret ex-Mossad agents who are taping our conversations and trying to destroy me" pic.twitter.com/v4KjakNY8a

I've got to say that the warrant for Rose McGowan's appearance for leaving a bag behind that had drugs in it is... extremely suspect

He was the poor man's Robert Downey Jr. comeback story - seemingly wasted his career on drugs, made a big comeback starring on the most popular TV sitcom of the '00s, then proceeded to meltdown again.

Also he seemed to be genuinely deranged, so mean lols.

The lyrics of Keith Urban's new song "Female," which he wrote because of Harvey Weinstein, are really something elsehttps://t.co/7BwItDE5ot pic.twitter.com/nvWQBCjkk2

lol!

that keith urban songwriting process in full:

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0332/6549/products/3632-nastywoman.jpg?v=1498150940

Lyrics perfect for yarling. I don't know if he yarls, but he looks like he does.

Here’s the outro:

Mhm

Female

Keith Urban demonstrating how the creative process can be aided by fishing discarded notebooks out of junior high trashbins.

there seemed to be a brief window after sheen meltdown #2 or 3 where it seemed like he was going to have a 'comeback' and then he admitted to having HIV and I believe perhaphs knowingly sleeping with women and not telling them, and then that was over. I can't really remember the last time he came up though. where is he now?

Keith Urban - "Female"

"These are all the types of female that exist, and Keith was very thorough."
