The outcome we all expected would eventually happen, happened earlier this week when convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein was extradited from his prison cell in New York to Los Angeles, where many more sexual assault charges against him were patiently standing by. Harvey was arraigned yesterday in a Los Angeles courtroom. He’s facing the following charges (deep inhale): four counts of forcible rape, four counts of forcible oral copulation, two counts of sexual battery by restraint, and one count of sexual penetration by use of force. Even Captain Obvious’ never-sure cousin Lt. Undecided could look at the situation and think, “Yep, he’s guilty.” But still, Harvey has pleaded not guilty.

Times up (again) for FOP (friend of Putin) and Russian citizen Gérard Depardieu (too much égalité going on with the French tax code) who, in 2018, avoided being charged with the rape of a 22-year-old actress when “after nine months, the case was dropped for lack of evidence,” according to Page Six. But last year, the case was reopened “after the woman re-filed her complaint,” and now, Gérard has officially been charged with rape. Hopefully he’s pissing himself now instead of dribbling it all over the aisles in economy class.

That Time’s Up pin is really, really coming back to bite James Franco in the ass. The New York Times is reporting that Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal, two former students of James Franco’s acting school, Studio 4, filed a lawsuit against James Franco yesterday in Los Angeles. Sarah was one of the five women who spoke out against James Franco back in January 2018, after Ally Sheedy got the ball rolling on Twitter.
Roman Polanski Says His “Harassers” Don’t Know His Truth

If, like me, you were fantasizing about a buddy film starring R. Kelly and Roman Polanski as cellmates who get hilariously disfigured during a botched prison escape attempt, then I’m sad to say, it must remain an unfulfilled fantasy. Roman’s not in danger of getting thrown in American prison at the moment, because he’s afraid to leave France. So, even though his newest film An Officer and A Spy is premiering at the Venice Film Festival tomorrow, he won’t be there because Italy would extradite his ass. But Roman being Roman, still managed to take the opportunity to once again reiterate his status as the 20th (and 21st) century’s most aggrieved man.

Washington state is inches away from passing a bill that will end clock changes and make it Pacific Daylight Time year-round. Sloth-like humans are saying HELL YES to the change, with only a few sadists in the state House voting to continue the evil tradition of rising in pitch blackness in the bowels of winter with a Vote of 89 to 7. Regardless of this potential bucking of the system and upset of the status quo, the world is still spinning, the birds are still chirping, and Chris Brown is still being an asshole. In other words, nothing has changed. There’s a new tale of Chris Brown assholery today, this time against the Scottish band Chvrches, who publicly stated their disappointment in DJ/Producer Marshmello for working with Chris and Tyga on an upcoming project.

Dame Emma Thompson knows what time it is, and when your #TimesUp, she ain’t fucking with you no more. Dame Emma put her own ass on the line to ensure that ex-Pixar head John Lasseter’s alleged sexual misconduct doesn’t get swept under the rug and forgotten by dropping out of the upcoming animated film Luck in protest of him being hired by the movie’s production company Skydance Media. As soon as Emma heard that Skydance had hired John to head their animation division, despite the fact that he had been fired from Disney/Pixar for being a super creep at work, she threatened to walk. When that didn’t send them back to the drawing board to look for resumes that didn’t list “surprise handsy hugs” as a special skill, she quit. That was on January 20th. Three days later she sent a scathing yet measured “here’s how you fucked up” letter letting them know exactly why. Today she let the L.A. Times go ahead and publish it.
