I feel like time might be up for Jared Leto, which is about time:

quote:

I feel like I have been telling you about this A- list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee forever. The sometime singer and permanent jerk is finally about to get busted for at least some of the underage and legal women he has assaulted over the years. One he tag teamed assaulted with that awful photographer is about to sue them both.

There's been a lot more rumblings about Denzel Washington recently as well. Nothing that's illegal as such, but just generally lovely behaviour towards women, particularly if they want a part in a movie.

Quite literally anonymous whisperings on a site infested with crazy conspiracy theorists.

Leto's shenanigans from the set of Suicide Squad do make him entirely plausible as a raging shitbag though.

Yeah. I'm not sure how CDAN actually works because they will later do 'blind items revealed' where they will post the names. It's not for every story but it is for most. And the other name is Terry Richardson. I do usually take the site with a pinch of salt, but you can normally gauge when the stories are true or not.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

Three more women have accused Jeremy Piven of sexual harassment, including a woman who was underage at the time, and another who was working on Ellen. The latter has me super curious, because Ellen DeGeneres is pretty goddamn open about her beliefs and morals, and she's a hell of a public voice to be reckoned with. Piven has, so far, largely skated by on this in terms of broad public awareness (other than his show being cancelled, which nobody was watching anyway). If Ellen chooses to draw him on the carpet on her talkshow... I would suspect that hammer would drop hard enough to bend space and time.

Jared Leto is a tryhard idiot who probably sees Ledger dying shortly before the premier of the role that would garner him an Oscar to be The Height Of Art. As a result he tried to fashion his own romantic narrative into taking on the role by acting like an absolute maniac on-set. In his view he probably saw it as some kind of experiment in Method. To everybody else, it was just the acting equivalent of a Spencer's Gifts shop.

Songs do come in waves when you ask students to pick them. Back when I did film making in high school, about 20% of the short films made in my first year used 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack.

I used French rap group 'Assassin' because I was determined to stand out. It did not work, but this song is pretty cool

A fun game to play is "what does Alec Baldwin stand for, really?" Because time and time again he's been shown to be a contrarian dildo with no interest in being legitimately enlightened. I'd like to say I expected better, but this is the kind of Hot Take that I'd expect from him, especially having starred in two of Allen's films.

Yep. He likes to posture himself as this super progressive liberal, but his track record speaks for itself. Like you’d think working with Tina Fey for almost a decade would have smartened him up a bit in regards to stuff like Woody Allen, but Baldwin is nothing if not stubborn when it comes to learning from his mistakes.

everyone should take a moment to watch Kesha's performance at the Grammys, it is incredibly awesome. She's singing the song she wrote as a therapeutic exercise to deal with her abuse at the hands of Dr. Luke in front of an entire audience of people, most of whom either didn't believe her or enabled him or ignored her while it was going on, and you can see the nerves and anger and pain on her face while she's on stage and she loving kills it

i ran across this Twitter thread that I've seen before but i'm sharing it with you all because it's further proof that, even if the worst rumors are not true, Dan Schneider is a weirdo with a foot fetish who indulges his creepy lust for girl feet when filming his shows.

https://twitter.com/soberloren/status/909176761325375488

I'm not posting any of the actual photo evidence in this thread because it's weird and gross but in this thread there are at least 20 screen caps of the feet of the stars of the shows he produced and apparently there was an entire episode of one of them about feet? like he makes Quentin Tarantino look like Ward Cleaver.

not just that his subjects are teenagers, but the medium they're being shoved into is kid's TV. Like, if you like feet you like feet, that's fine, there are much worse things to like, but those much worse things include minors and putting fetish material in Nickelodeon shows and also (allegedly) abusing minors who star in your fetish material filled Nickelodeon shows.

This is literally all hearsay and speculation, and it includes 4chan memes about rape, so I don't know why you're taking this seriously. This is like the definition of a disingenuous attempt to hijack the movement for far-right ends.

the amount of sexualized content in his work is evidenced right there in that thread. Like, even if you completely discount the accusations of actual abuse in there (which, you are correct, there is no definitive evidence beyond hearsay and rumors), the weird creepy focus on the feet of teenage girls who are his employees is right there in the screen caps of his work and his social media.

IMO it's pretty creepy to look at any of those photographs and think that they're sexual; this really strikes me as a giant case of the worst dregs of the internet projecting hard.
