I've noticed that he seems to be good friends with Eggert and Sara Gilbert (who has a very prominent media platform).

Chachi might want this to go away but I don't think it will, especially if bigger media platforms pick this up.

 

One of these days Bill O'Reilly will wrap his head around the fact that it is a new day and he's no longer in charge of the narrative.

I wonder if Alexander Polinsky will go to the press, as he had threatened to do earlier. Here's his latest tweet:

In other news, good news for the cast and crew of a certain show who won't be losing their jobs, save one:

I don't remember if anyone mentioned it, but Gary Goddard, who is close to Singer, recently took a leave of absence.

If this is coming i guess it was coming for Singer no matter what but I do wonder how much Anthony Edwards coming forward had to do with it.

 

If he's really throwing things on set then it makes me wonder if he was spiraling out of control for a long time. 

 

It makes you wonder just how much power he has in Hollywood. Clearly not that much if he's being fired, but enough to get through what a lot of directors wouldn't have, especially since he's never really been a huge box office director compared to some, has he?

It's crazy. The Fox execs warned him that "they would not tolerate any unprofessional behavior" before he even started. So they were willing to take a risk on him knowing he could implode at any point. 

 

I'm sure there's an exposé coming, and he's been contacted over the past few weeks to respond to various claims as journalists vet stories from his alleged victims in preparation for pieces. He has a longstanding rep for being unstable (remember Halle Berry reportedly telling him to "kiss her black ass" on the set of X-Men?), so the coming bombshells have to be pushing him over the edge.

 

Speaking of Singer AND Spacey, look at this:

I think Singer's days have been numbered since Weinstein and Spacey. It was inevitable after that - the stories about him are everywhere and have been around forever.

 

What makes me curious is wondering how many people will be caught in that net. Seann William Scott was linked to stories about Singer's circle and various creeps for years. OLTL's Brandon Routh was Singer's Superman. Two young, cute writers Singer hired onto X2 and Superman Returns - his MO for hiring young guys he likes in bit parts or positions on various films - went on to do genre films like Trick 'r Treat and Krampus, and one is now doing the Godzilla sequel with Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things.

 

And Matt Bomer - who Singer wanted for Superman right off of GL, and who the studio refused to cast because he was 'too gay' - is married/partnered to Simon Halls, Singer's longtime publicist who just cut ties with him. It would not shock me if this hits them all.

Seann William Scott. I hadn't though of him in years. Looking at him used to give me the creeps, although that's just based on seeing him onscreen, I know nothing of him in real life. 

 

Routh seemed like a real nutjob and a mess when he was on OLTL but he seemed to turn his life around and I have enjoyed what I've seen of his work on the CW shows. I would hope he's clear of it, but I guess we never actually know these people though. This year has taught us that, along with many other terrible but important things...

 

In other news, MSNBC has dumped Sam Seder after a 2009 tweet about Polanski. I read at AV Club that there was a big push from the alt right to make this happen. Given the right wing bent of NBC News, I can believe.

I actually liked Krampus a lot, after spending years dismissing the guy who did it as another mediocre young dude with bland writing skills who only got jobs for being Singer's boytoy. But we'll see what happens with all these folks.

    • Me saying all the praise for Eva/Ambyr. Y'all..

    • Yeah, something is not right here. I will continue to have doubts about Leslie being Eva's mother for the time being. Until at least the writing/behavior of her character changes. She is acting way too cold/uncaring/hateful to be her mother. I know as soap fans, we have seen our share of rough around the edges, bad acting mothers. But even some of the roughest of soap mothers have acted like they love their children. Even if they don't always make the best decisions regarding them. Or are often at odds with them. Leslie has not shown anything for me to show that she even cares about Eva, even a little. It's all about what Leslie/wants needs and what Eva can do for her. As soon as she felt like Eva no longer served a purpose for her she threw her away. I am interested in seeing what happens with Leslie going forward. She really doesn't have anyone on her side. Eva at least now has Ted and Tomas to a lesser degree. I think that some others will eventually come to accept Eva in time.
    • I'm looking forward to seeing the first 18 minutes or so that we missed earlier this episode. But I loved what I saw today: I thought that what I saw of Bill's/Ted's interaction was realistic and interesting. I know we have hardly seen them interact, but I think that they have nice chemistry together. And Iiked the dialogue that they had about their roles/mistakes in this whole paternity reveal/hurting Nicole. I would like to see them interact more together in the future. I also enjoyed Dani being there for Nicole and giving her good advice. I did lol when Dani said she wanted to take off her earrings and be left alone with Leslie, Eva, Bill and Ted... I like Nicole as always acting mature and measured and trying to process what has happened to her along with support from her sister. I like that her family supported her and gave her space (including her parents) and then she went to them when she was ready. I enjoyed her scenes with her parents at the end. Speaking of parents, Leslie continues to act like this. Her behavior towards Eva is trash and she literally threw the picture of them together at the end in the trash. She really doesn't deserve Eva, and I continue to wonder if she really is her mother. She is just too cold towards her and sees her as a means to an end. I really wonder if she thought that Ted was going to help Eva. Or if she was hoping that he would turn her away as well. I'm glad he helped her and wants to try and have a relationship with her. It will cause conflict with the rest of the family, but it's the right thing for him to do, IMO.
    • What an interesting read @Paul Raven. Thank you so much for posting it. Annette
    • She’s riveting. And how she transitioned from utter devastation after the confrontation with Leslie to hopeful in the Ted scene—so seamless. She’s easily the most exciting actress I’ve seen in daytime in a looooooooong time. If she’s not the face of this show in a few months, they’re leaving money on the table.
    • Yeah either Leslie is a demented mother, or Leslie is not the real mother.
    • Ambyr is killing it per usual. The Eva and Leslie confrontation was GOOD. I gotta admit Ted taking in Eva and promising to do right by her made me cry.    See, he can still be a decent guy

    • Leslie threw Eva's photo in the kitchen garbage can.

      She threw out that picture of Eva. Im convinced Eva is NOT her daughter. She has no maternal instinct. Thats Nicole's kid   awww Ted is getting her an apartment and he said he would never leave his daughter. I love it! I bet it will be better than that dump Leslie had her in and she better not open the door for her
