Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow Accuse Harvey Weinstein Of Sexual Harassment

Posted on Tue Oct 10th, 2017 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Where were they when Rose McGowan was getting dragged through the mud?!

Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow were both sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein earlier in their careers, they revealed to the New York Times today.

Angie claims the movie producer made "an unwanted advance" towards her in a hotel room while she was promoting Playing By The Heart in 1998. She rejected him, but never went public with the inappropriate incident until now.

"I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warned others when they did," she told the NYT.

As for Gwynnie, the blonde beauty had a similar situation happen. The Oscar winner was just 22-years-old in the mid-90s when Weinstein cast her in Emma. During a meeting with the industry big wig at the Peninsula hotel, he put his hands on her and suggested they move things to the bedroom. Gross!

Paltrow told then-boyfriend Brad Pitt what had happened, and the A-list actor confronted Weinstein at a movie premiere. Consequently, Weinstein called Paltrow and screamed at her for exposing his dirty secrets.

"We’re at a point in time when women need to send a clear message that this is over. This way of treating women ends now," she said in a statement accompanying the piece.

The New Yorker just released a bombshell audio recording of Weinstein sexually harassing a Filipina-Italian model named Ambra Battilana Gutierrez back in 2015. How did they get it on tape? Gutierrez was part of a NYPD sting operation. The NYPD was going to arrest him for sexual misconduct, but apparently there wasn't enough evidence to charge him.

Actually hearing him do it is so creepy!

We've got a lot to catch you up on!

Kylie Jenner hasn't even confirmed her pregnancy, but she's certainly enjoying messing with her fans, because they think she just dropped some major clues about her unborn baby's gender. The LipKit queen posted a photo of herself lounging in a baggy blue button down, and now everyone thinks she's expecting a boy! It's been reported that she's actually expecting a little girl with boyfriend Travis Scott, so we don't know what to believe.

Why are Ky and Khloe waiting so long to announce to the world they've got buns in the oven? Well, it might have to do with a super secret pregnancy reveal photoshoot!

Kris Jenner posted a photo of herself hanging with famed photographer Mario Testino at her house, and we have a feeling he dropped by to take some artsy belly shots for Vanity Fair or Vogue. You just KNOW the momager is aiming to make a splash by sharing the happy news with a major outlet. Gone are the days of giving the exclusive to In Touch!

Not only are they both pregnant with their first child, but Kylie and Khloe are starting to look alike! The two posted Snapchats of themselves hanging out while promoting Kylie Cosmetics yesterday, and they could be twins with this matching blonde hair!

 

Harvey Weinstein Accused Of Rape By Three Women, Including Anthony Bourdain's Girlfriend Asia Argento

Posted on Tue Oct 10th, 2017 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is going from bad to worse.

Harvey Weinstein was fired after his decades of sexual harassment came to light in a bombshell New York Times expose, but now we're learning that three women allege the studio boss raped them, the New Yorker reports.

One of the women is Anthony Bourdain's actress girlfriend Asia Argento, another is aspiring actress Lucia Evans, and the third has yet to be named. Wow! Not only that, but four more women told the publication that they had experienced unwanted sexual advances and touching by Weinstein. More than 16 former executives and assistants at the Weinstein company confirmed that they had either witnessed or known about the incidents.

Bourdain isn't holding back his opinions on Twitter, and he's praising his lady love for having the courage to come forward.

"@AsiaArgento I am proud and honored to know you. You just did the hardest thing in the world," he wrote in one tweet. "@rosemcgowan has been way out in front of this thing . Took a lot of courage. Can everyone who dismissed @rosemcgowan now do the right thing and go f*ck themselves?" he wrote in another. "Can we use the word “rapist” now? #Weinstein," he continued.

The Parts Unknown host then took aim at Matt Damon and Russell Crowe, who allegedly worked to kill a New York Times piece about Weinstein's sexual misconduct years ago. "Wow. Just, wow. Damon and Crowe and The NYT got some 'splaining to do," he added.

Finally, he had some choice words for Donna Karan, who had the gaul to defend Weinstein and basically say that the women "asked for it."

"To @dkny How many seventeen year olds have you dressed like they are, in your words, "asking for it "? he captioned one of her provocative fashion ads.

We have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's already horrifying!

 

It's Good To See Kanye Smiling Again

Posted on Tue Oct 10th, 2017 9:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's been a while!

Kanye West couldn't contain his grin after a meeting at the studio with producer Rick Rubin yesterday, and we can't remember the last time we saw him in such a good mood. Ever since his breakdown last October, Yeezy has seemed solemn and zombie-like, but it appears he's getting back to his old self.

Working on new tunes and waiting on baby #3 with Kim is apparently just what the doctor ordered! Kimye is expecting the newest addition to their family this January via surrogate, and 'Ye will have ample time to focus on the baby with his new toned down lifestyle. He skipped Paris and New York fashion weeks this year, and he's largely been staying out of the spotlight as his mental health recovers.

One thing not helping? The evil Internet trolls that are fat shaming him! Multiple headlines have been written about Yeezus' weight gain, but we think he looks great! He's pulling off this Canadian tuxedo with such swag!

 

George Clooney, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet And Others Slam Harvey Weinstein Amid Sexual Harassment Scandal, But Donna Karan Defends Him!

Posted on Tue Oct 10th, 2017 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


We find it funny that nobody said anything until he lost his job.

George Clooney, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet and other huge stars are finally breaking their silence on Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment scandal and subsequent firing, and a lot of them are making it seem as if they hadn't heard the rumors about the power producer, even though it was an open secret in Hollywood for years!

"It’s indefensible. That’s the only word you can start with. Harvey’s admitted to it, and it’s indefensible. I’ve known Harvey for 20 years. He gave me my first big break as an actor in films on From Dusk Till Dawn, he gave me my first big break as a director with Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. We’ve had dinners, we’ve been on location together, we’ve had arguments. But I can tell you that I’ve never seen any of this behavior — ever," George Clooney told The Daily Beast.

Kate Winslet is equally as outraged!

"The fact that these women are starting to speak out about the gross misconduct of one of our most important and well regarded film producers is incredibly brave and has been deeply shocking to hear. The way Harvey Weinstein has treated these vulnerable, talented young women is NOT the way women should ever EVER deem to be acceptable or commonplace in ANY workplace,” Winslet said in a statement to Variety.

"I have no doubt that for these women this time has been, and continues to be extremely traumatic. I fully embrace and salute their profound courage, and I unequivocally support this level of very necessary exposure of someone who has behaved in reprehensible and disgusting ways. His behaviour is without question disgraceful and appalling and very, very wrong. I had hoped that these kind of stories were just made up rumours, maybe we have all been naïve. And it makes me so angry. There must be ‘no tolerance’ of this degrading, vile treatment of women in ANY workplace anywhere in the world," she added.

Here are some other celeb reactions:
    Jennifer Lawrence: "I was deeply disturbed to hear the news about Harvey Weinstein’s behavior. I worked with Harvey five years ago and I did not experience any form of harassment personally, nor did I know about any of these allegations. This kind of abuse is inexcusable and absolutely upsetting. My heart goes out to all of the women affected by these gross actions. And I want to thank them for their bravery to come forward."
    Olivia Wilde: "Let's be clear. What Harvey Weinstein did to those women was nothing short of abuse. I am disturbed, and disgusted. It's appalling. Though I never witnessed it, I stand in solidarity with his victims, and hope their bravery sends a loud message to all abusers of power. The victim blaming needs to stop. As does the shaming of women who didn't come forward earlier. They spoke, and we are here to listen."
    Jessica Chastain: " I was warned from the beginning. The stories were everywhere. To deny that is to create an environment for it to happen again.”
    Mark Ruffalo: "To be clear what Harvey Weinstein did was a disgusting abuse of power and horrible. I hope we are now seeing the beginning of the end of these abuses."
    Meryl Streep: "The disgraceful news about Harvey Weinstein has appalled those of us whose work he championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported. The intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes.”
    Judi Dench: "Whilst there is no doubt that Harvey Weinstein has helped and championed my career for the past 20 years, I was completely unaware of these offences which are, of course, horrifying, and I offer my sympathy to those who have suffered, and wholehearted support to those who have spoken out.”
    Lena Dunham: "The reason I am zeroing in on the men is that they have the least to lose and the most power to shift the narrative, and are probably not dealing with the same level of collective and personal trauma around these allegations. But here we are, days later, waiting for Mr. Weinstein’s most powerful collaborators to say something. Anything. It wouldn’t be just a gift to the women he has victimized, but a message to the women who are watching our industry closely. They need a signal that we do not approve of the abuse of power and hatred of women that is the driving force behind this kind of behavior.”
    America Ferrara: "This abuse of power must be called out, however powerful the abuser, and we must publicly stand with those brave enough to come forward.”
    Julianne Moore: "Coming forward about sexual abuse and coercion is scary and women have nothing to be gained by personally doing so. But through their bravery we move forward as a culture and I think them. Stand with @AshleyJudd @rosemcgowan and others.”

Designer Donna Karan, however, came to Weinstein's defense, and actually suggested that perhaps his accusers were "asking" for it!

"How do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and sexuality? You look at everything all over the world today, how women are dressing and what they’re asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble," she told the Daily Mail during an interview at the CinéFashion Film Awards in L.A. on Sunday.

Of course, she got MAJOR backlash, and was quick to apologize.

"[I] made a statement that was not representative of how I feel or what I believe. My statements were taken out of context and do not represent how I feel about the current situation concerning Harvey Weinstein. I believe that sexual harassment is NOT acceptable and this is an issue that MUST be addressed once and for all regardless of the individual. I am truly sorry to anyone that I offended and everyone that has ever been a victim," she said in a statement to Us Weekly.

We bet Weinstein wishes this was just a bad movie!

Posted on Mon Oct 9th, 2017 2:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim's starting to nest! The soon-to-be mother-of-three brought along some experienced help today on a shopping trip to buybuy Baby in Woodland Hills. Kourtney's already got three kids, so she's the expert on stocking up for baby #3 and Kim probably needs all the help she can get!

Of course we all know Kim and hubby Kanye West are expecting a baby via surrogate in January, so it's time to start preparing.

The overly-glam duo arrived in heels and short shorts to stock up on supplies. Kim wore cut-off sweatshorts with an oversized forest-print tee and her favorite Yeezy heeled lace-up booties. But the most striking thing about her look was the glam-girl high blonde ponytail -- so different for Kim!

Kourtney looked stunning in a black off-the-shoulder blouse and denim cut-offs with stilettos. These two stormed the store in haute couture looks as if to say, "Watch out! MILFs coming through!

Megyn Kelly Finally Got A "Juicy" Interview ... She And Others Cover Harvey Weinstein's Alleged Sexual Harassment

Posted on Mon Oct 9th, 2017 12:26pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Finally Megyn Kelly gets a winner! After numerous interview FAILS, including her Will & Grace segment and others, producers for Kelly's new Today Show block finally realized that sex sells and the biggest story today is Harvey Weinstein exposing himself, masterbating and otherwise sexually harassing women. Hello ratings!

This morning, reporter Lauren Sivan details her story of inappropriate advances by Harvey and we're pretty sure viewership climaxed during the piece. And Kelly wasn't the only one to talk about X-rated Weinstein activity this morning -- Kathie Lee Gifford also talked about p*nises and ejaculation while viewers will drinking their morning coffee and probably gagging on their cornflakes. Gifford's friends will Weinstein so she chose to pass over his p*nis stories and move on to an experience she had with a Hollywood producer she chooses not to name -- but basically the same thing her pal Harvey was doing, was done to her, too. Oh man, cum on!

The Weinstein news doesn't stop there ... Oscar heavy-hitter Meryl Street weighed in with this statement this morning: "The disgraceful news about Harvey Weinstein has appalled those of us whose work he championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported. The intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes. One thing can be clarified. Not everybody knew."

Glenn Close said in a statement to The New York Times: "I'm sitting here, deeply upset, acknowledging to myself that, yes, for many years, I have been aware of the vague rumors that Harvey Weinstein had a pattern of behaving inappropriately around women. Harvey has always been decent to me, but now that the rumors are being substantiated, I feel angry and darkly sad. I'm angry, not just at him and the conspiracy of silence around his actions, but also that the 'casting couch' phenomenon, so to speak, is still a reality in our business and in the world: the horrible pressure, the awful expectation put on a woman when a powerful, egotistical, entitled bully expects sexual favors in exchange for a job."

Others like Susan Sarandon, Heather Graham, Mark Ruffalo and Lena Dunham have Tweeted in support of Ashley Judd and Rose McGowan having the courage to come forward with their stories.

And last but not least, Saturday Night Live is being SLAMMED for not addressing the Weinstein story in this weekend's show. Legendary SNL producer Lorne Michaels, when asked why the show skipped this obvious topic, said, "It's a New York thing." Well here's another three-letter acronym, SNL ... WTF?!
