There are those saying this is just a “bit” to troll the Left, which it very well may be. But I just keep asking why would Laura Ingraham do a bit that makes her look like a complete fucking idiot?

Heads up: The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip has debuted early on Peacock, and you can watch the first three episodes now.
George Clooney has some thoughts about the shooting on the Rust set: mostly that it is “infuriating” and that gun safety has to be the highest priority on sets.
The famous CBS Studio Center is being sold for $1.8 billion, which is half a billion more than expected.
IATSE’s members voted to approve their new contract with the AMPTP, averting a strike that would have halted production everywhere.
It’s the 40th anniversary of the Luke and Laura wedding on General Hospital, which some 30 million people watched. This article gives some good perspective, both on what a phenomenon “Luke and Laura” was, and on the problematic start of the relationship, in which Luke raped Laura, and the show tried to romanticize it.
#MeToo
The biggest news of the week is that Britney Spears is finally free from the conservatorship that has controlled her entire life and career for the past 13 years.
Eliza Dushku testified to Congress today on her harassment and firing from Bull, on a committee hearing about forced arbitration and non-disclosure agreements.
Rolling Stone did a long piece about Marilyn Manson’s history of abuse, including how he would lock women in what he called “The Bad Girls Room,” a soundproofed solitary-confinement room, how he raped and abused multiple women and made them fear for their lives, and how he attacked multiple people, including his own mother. It’s a rough read.
Summer Zervos has abruptly dropped her defamation suit against Former President Serial Assaulter without any compensation or an apology. He was expected to have to sit for a deposition in the case next month. She does now have the right to tell her story, as her NDA was voided, which makes me wonder if she decided a book deal might be the best resolution in the long run. Stay tuned.
Andy Dick has been arrested again for domestic battery.
Anaheim Ducks Executive Vice President/General Manager Bob Murray has resigned after being accused of creating a toxic work environment.
A documentary about the Liberty University sex abuse scandal is in the works.
Emily Ratajkowski was on a media tour last week promoting her new book which revealed that Robin Thicke groped her on the set of the “Blurred Lines” video. But her take on the situation is actually more nuanced and generous than initially reported.
Actor and playwright Wallace Shawn wrote a very long defense of Woody Allen and takedown of Dylan Farrow in The Wrap, and just … why? Is there a new Woody Allen movie coming out? Is there some new accusation about to come out? Shawn is welcome to his opinion, but this feels needless and comes off as cruel. So is it trying to get out ahead of something?
I say this with an extremely heavy heart. Fuck Wallace Shawn https://t.co/3gZYtIaDtH

Oh thank goodness, we can all rest easy now. Wallace Shawn has “personally… concluded that Woody didn’t commit the crime." https://t.co/vzRZAdrm4I

Wallace Shawn's defense of Woody Allen rests on the idea that Dylan Farrow's memory is wrong. It's very telling whose memory he chooses to question, and whose "memory" he chooses to take at face value.

And to think, Wallace Shawn could’ve just kept his mouth shut and remained beloved.

By the way, here’s where I will point out that back in May, Shawn was accused by The Nanny actress Lauren Lane of sticking his tongue in her ear when he guest-starred on the show. So maybe, just maybe, he isn’t exactly the best person to be judging another man’s behavior.
