Leading up the ceremonial duties for the largest Hollywood gathering since the revelations of just how deep the culture of sexual harassment (and misogyny) runs in the film and TV industry—and really, anywhere—was going to be a tough task for anyone. And while handing over that kind of platform to a white man again…
Whatever else can be said about Ridley Scott’s ripped-from-the-headlines thriller All The Money In The World, you’d never guess—if you didn’t know already—that one of its key roles was occupied by an entirely different actor just six weeks ago. Gone is Kevin Spacey, who buried himself deeply under mounds of old-age…
While maintaining his new, no-print-media rule, Morrissey has still managed to break the news of his denial regarding some shitty comments he made to a Spiegel Online interviewer last month. In mid-November, the Smiths frontman spoke with the German outlet about a variety of subjects, including the still-cresting wave…
It remains to be seen how permanent the consequences will be from this year’s avalanche of sexual assault and harassment allegations: Noted bigot Mel Gibson, to give a similar but unrelated example, seems to have rebounded just fine after about a decade in Hollywood time-out. And director Bryan Singer, whose own…
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sony has pushed the release date of Ridley Scott’s All The Money In The World—a movie that does not have Kevin Spacey in it, so don’t bring up Kevin Spacey—from December 22 to December 25. Apparently, this has nothing to do with any Kevin Spacey-related controversies (because he’s…
There’s entitlement, impunity, and privilege, and then there’s Kevin Spacey causing a production stoppage on a Bryan Singer movie thanks to his “inappropriate sexual behavior.” This perfect circle of shitty dudes acting out inappropriately in professional settings was revealed by Spacey’s The Usual Suspects co-star…
Hollywood is facing a long-overdue campaign of housecleaning at the moment, as decades-worth of accusations of sexual harassment and assault against powerful men are finally coming to light (and actually being listened to, for once). This sweeping out of the alleged bums has had any number of knock-on effects in the…
It’s nowhere near as long, detailed, or accompanied by a Zombies song as the first preview for Ridley Scott’s kidnapping drama, but the new All The Money In The World trailer now has Christopher Plummer in the role of J. Paul Getty.
These days, it should be generally accepted that getting Morrissey’s take on current events is a bad idea for everyone involved, since he usually ends up saying something bad and we’re all left to try and parse his weird political takes. So, it should be wholly unsurprising that a recent interview Morrissey gave to…
For the most part, the condemnation of Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey has been near-total, as the two Hollywood figures—whose allegations of serial sexual misconduct set off the industry’s current wave of outing its long history of abuse—have seen themselves swiftly shunned from the community that kept its open…
In 2006, while accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for Syriana, George Clooney gave a speech that instantly became such shorthand for celebrity smugness that South Park based an entire episode around making fun of it. “We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while, I think. It’s probably a…
In a move that makes it pretty obvious just how poisonous Kevin Spacey has become since the allegations about him sexually assaulting underage boys came out, Ridley Scott and Imperative Entertainment have decided to completely remove Spacey from All The Money In The World, a movie that was not only finished, but also …
Former Boston TV news anchor Heather Unruh held a press conference today, in which she read a statement from her 18-year-old son accusing Kevin Spacey of sexual assault. Unruh, an award-winning journalist for ABC affiliate WCVB, was accompanied by her daughter while addressing reporters, according to The Hollywood…
Celebrated author and journalist Gay Talese served up a much less celebrated plate of bad opinions last night, when he decided to wax poetic on Kevin Spacey’s various harassment and assault accusations to Vanity Fair. “I feel so sad, and I hate that actor that ruined this guy’s career,” Talese told a VF reporter at…
Yet another network cut ties with actor Kevin Spacey today, with Variety reporting that the former House Of Cards star has been booted off of the roster of talent for CBS’s upcoming 50th anniversary tribute to The Carol Burnett Show. Spacey’s ouster from the CBS program—which filmed last month, and is scheduled to run…
We’ve already touched on Seth MacFarlane’s long-running penchant for calling out some of Hollywood’s not-so-secret secrets. At an Oscars nomination ceremony in 2013, he alluded to Harvey Weinstein’s predatory behavior, and a Family Guy joke from 2004 hinted at Kevin Spacey’s supposed taste for (much) younger men…
Netflix has already fired Kevin Spacey from House Of Cards, meaning the show will wrap up its final season without its star—and also, as Netflix surely hopes, without the significant amount of controversy that now follows him. Of course, that’s probably going to necessitate a significant number of rewrites on House Of…
The growing list of sexual harassment and assault allegations against Kevin Spacey (and his poorly received “apology”) have already started bringing down his acting career, with Netflix firing him from House Of Cards’ final season and abandoning plans for his Gore Vidal biopic, and now Sony Pictures has announced that…
Harry Dreyfuss—an actor and writer, and the son of Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss—has added his name to the ever-growing list of young men accusing Kevin Spacey of groping or sexually assaulting them in their youths. Dreyfuss wrote about the incident, which took place when he was 18 and visiting his father while he…
Yet more allegations against actor Kevin Spacey have come to light this week, with three more men coming forward with stories that Spacey groped them, called them a “coward” for refusing to have sex with him, and, in one case, served alcohol and displayed pornography to a 16-year-old visitor to his home.
