Then, just to make sure Maury and his studio audience get that point, Mia Farrow runs to the monitor at the back of the stage and points repeatedly at the facial similarities between her son and Ol' Blue Eyes. ("Look at their noses, Maury, look at their noses!!") (Maury: "Up Next: The DNA Results Are Read! Will Ronan and Mia receive the news they've been waiting for? And later on in our broadcast, it's another, star-studded DNA drama, as we learn, once and for all, who is the biological father of "Stranger Things" star Sean Astin!")

If ever someone needed to appear on "Maury"....

ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?
If she were a movie star on the same level as, say, Julia Roberts, then I would understand the bitchery. But, come on, aside from ten years on a "soap opera" that people only watched to make fun of, what has Lindsay really DONE with her career? Does "Saved by the Bell: the New Class" carry some high cache that I don't know about?

ICAM. But I also agree with dragonflies: GG's got them over the proverbial barrel. If they allow her to exit the franchise at this point for any reason other than she simply doesn't want to play WW anymore, the backlash that will result from that decision will be EPIC. (No pun intended.)

To me, it sounds as if the "conversation" between Trump and Putin went down like this: TRUMP: Say, Vlad, did you interfere with the election? PUTIN: Nope. T: You sure? P: Yep. T: Okay. Real or not, it's the most absurd thing ever.

No, Celeste Holm was definitely fired. I remember reading somewhere how pissed she was that the producers just up and let her go without giving her a real reason.

Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread
Days after defending his son, Harry, who had come forward with a story about how Kevin Spacey tried to force himself on him, Richard Dreyfuss gets hits with a sexual harassment allegation of his own. I tell you, I'm starting to feel like we're all trapped inside a Franz Kafka novel. Also: IDK if this has been posted already (because, heck, can we really keep track anymore?), but Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, AMC) was sexually harassed by Steven "Hard to Kill" Seagal.

I wish to God KS had never been allowed to make that godawful movie.

. He was one of my faves on "Lou Grant." IIRC, he also played Scott Easton on KNOTS LANDING. Easton, who was working with Abby on some shady business deal at Lotus Point, heard Abby remark, offhandedly, how much easier her marriage to Gary would be without Val and their babies in the way. He took that as a sign that Abby wanted the babies gone, so he ended up engineering the events that led to Val's twins being abducted at birth. (Val was told they were stillborn, but she knew all along that was a lie.)

Simple. It's the same reason (sort of) why 75 million people are ready to run off a cliff for a certain White supremacist (and admitted sexual predator) who now runs this country. At a certain point, people like MJ and Donald Trump stop being mere celebrities to people and start being more like messianic (sp?) figures, able to persuade others into believing whatever they want you to believe.

Will Kevin Spacey (or his career) ever recover? Look, it's one thing to be a drug addict or alcoholic who wrecks his career through his addictions. The list of actors who have come close, only to emerge healthy and whole and with their careers back on track, is long. That's because Hollywood, as well as most audiences in this country, are forgiving folks. But pedophilia...? That might be the proverbial bridge too far. Even if KS were to seek treatment, come forward with all sorts of admissions and apologies, and appear truly remorseful about everything he's done, I don't know whether many audience members would be willing to sit through another performance of his, or whether many producers, directors and actors would be willing to work with him on their projects, stage OR screen. IOW: anything is possible...I guess...especially in an industry that keeps the likes of Woody Allen and Roman Polanski employed. Nevertheless, I wouldn't put money on KS' reaching again the heights he had scaled before all hell broke loose.

I'd say ol' Harv fits that bill, since they're currently pursuing criminal charges against his ass. But, who knows? Given the way things're going, he'll probably skate.

I don't know whether this has been reported here, but according to the Hollywood Reporter (which I can't link to, for some reason), FX has officially cut all ties with Louis C.K. Apparently, the shows he was EP'ing will remain on the air, but his name will be removed from the credits, he won't be involved in any aspect of production anymore, and he will receive no further financial compensation from them. Oh, and his reps have dropped him as well. Eureka! Another article! This one from the NYT: Louis C.K. Admits to Sexual Misconduct as Media Companies Cut Ties That's my takeaway as well. Before these allegations, the worst thing I'd ever heard about Takei was that he had bad breath. Meanwhile, I hope Bryan Singer's all nice and cozy in his underground bunker. I have the feeling he's going to be there for awhile.

Oh, Sister Brazile. (sigh) Forgive me, Lord, but I'm takin' this one to the cross. Take this tip from the son of a church lady: don't EVER put other people's bidness out in the street unless you've got it verified. Because the only thing worse than a gossip...? Is a gossip who got it wrong.

To be fair, there's infighting going on within the Democratic Party as well. (If we didn't know that before the likes of Bernie Sanders came upon the scene, we certainly know it now.) But I think the Democratic Party will weather the storm, so to speak, because, at the end of the day, they are built on core values that pulls us through the worst of times (such as these). I don't believe any could say the same about the GOP of today. "I'm gobsmacked," said no one. More like "welcomed back to Planet Earth."

It's kind of like what Will said recently on "Will & Grace": the minute the LGBT community forgets how far they have come, that's the minute it all could be taken away. Trump Nation has proven that they're beyond the pale when it comes to things like morality. So, no, I DON'T expect voters to "send a message" to the GOP by not voting for Moore. Like you said, Carl: if anything, they'll probably believe Moore's assertion that this is just a smear campaign being orchestrated by the leftist media and come out even stronger for him. But that's okay. They showed me a long time ago who they really were; and in the end, that's all I ask. To me, the concept of being innocent until proven guilty in this country is about the biggest joke ever, if only because that's invoked too often to shield individuals who are almost always 1) White and 2) male. A White man is accused of raping and/or molesting a woman or underaged girl -- "but maybe she's lying." A White man is arrested for gunning down and killing a Black (or other non-White) male -- "but maybe that Black guy said or did something to make him feel threatened." OTOH, let it be a Black man -- or again, any other, non-White man -- who is accused of similar crimes, and suddenly, being innocent until proven guilty isn't even an option. Nope. If they're Black, or Asian, or Hispanic, or whatever, they're automatically guilty. And not just guilty, but guilty as hell. So, no, creeps like Roy Moore don't get the luxury of being innocent until proven guilty. Not from me, anyway.

I don't read Stephen King's books because, quite frankly, they scare the [!@#$%^&*] out of me. Nevertheless, I think he is one amazing guy. Yup. I'm with @marceline and with @Eric83. I almost WANT Moore to win. It would serve the GOP right after all the terrible things they've said and felt about homosexuality. (Could I just say again how SUPER proud I am of the LGBT community these days? When Kevin Spacey released his ridiculously self-serving public "apology," I was so sure GLAAD and other organizations were going to rally behind him. Instead, they proved THIS cynic and misanthrope wrong, and condemned him for using his coming out as a shield to hide behind allegations of pedophilia. In the process, the LGBT community proved, once and for all, that they possess WAY more morals than these folks from the GOP who rally now behind Roy Moore.)

I cannot keep up anymore with all who have been outed as sexual predators. It is just too overwhelming.
