DID HEIDI KLUM SELL HER SOUL TO HARVEY WEINSTEIN?

Way up there on the list of women who AREN’T talking about Harvey Weinstein is Heidi Klum. Harvey Weinstein was the executive producer of her show Project Runway during its 16 successful seasons. Of course the show gave Harvey access to literally HUNDREDS of young and vulnerable models and opened doors to the entire fashion world. We can’t be sure that Heidi was forced to watch Weinstein take a shower or massage him, but we are CERTAIN she knew plenty about his revolting activities. She’s been DEAD QUIET about the subject, but finally when forced to speak about Harvey she didn’t condemn him, but vaguely remarked “We’d be naïve to think this behavior only happens in Hollywood.” Did Heidi cover up for Weinstein?

TOM FORD HATES WOMEN

The immaculately attired designer is beloved by many female fans, but Tom Ford’s new film Nocturnal Animals is dead proof that he privately despises women. Tom has no problem being accused of OBJECTIFYING women (remember he posed fully dressed on the cover of Vanity Fair with two naked actresses half his age.) But after seeing his film, we insist that “objectify” is not a strong enough word – he HATES women! It’s sometimes a decent movie, BUT it opens with two mature, morbidly OBESE stark naked women in garish makeup DANCING and rolling on the ground flapping their rolls of fat in all directions. No men, just women. That sets the inexplicable mood and theme of the movie: Tom theorizes that -like it or not – all women eventually turn into their mothers and hurt the sensitive men around them! Tom is fond of bragging that he can identify with women because he’s gay, but he couldn’t be more off-base. His contempt for women burns up the screen in this movie and it’s a shame he’s so oblivious because he is a talented filmmaker.

DR DRE MADE SURE HIS BRUTAL VIOLENCE TOWARD WOMEN WAS NOT FEATURED IN “STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON”

We have to admit that a part of us was very disappointed when the movie “Straight Outta Compton” became a hit. Why? Because we’ve had a bone to pick with NWA since their beginning. They were a group of ignorant thugs who got lucky in the music business. They had no respect for anyone- especially women. Misogynistic Dr Dre was convicted on multiple cases of violence against women, including the brutalization, on a nightclub ladies room floor, of female journalist Dee Barnes. Not only did the despicable Dre punch and beat women, his lyrics depicted them as “bitches and hos.” Since Dre executive produced “Straight Outta Compton” he made sure these episodes were NOT included in the movie. Dre prefers the reputation of a reformed gangster with heart. It couldn’t be further from the truth.

SHOW US YOUR STRETCH MARKS, HARVEY LEVIN!

tmz-news-1

We usually love TMZ, but no way can we avoid taking them to task for a truly revolting and sexist “gossip” story they concocted. It’s called Guess The Celebrity Stretch Marks.” Close-ups of various women’s thighs, butts, and other body parts are provided for readers’ amusement. Talk about haters. Harvey, does someone over there HATE women? Of course, TMZ has never insulted MALE celebrities with “Guess the Celebrity Love Handles.” This photo set-up is not news – at best, it’s just downright cruel and mean spirited – at worst it’s clearly misogynistic. And it’s not okay.

SHARK TANK DOESN’T WELCOME WOMEN

We knew there was a reason why we didn’t like Shark Tank. That’s the ABC business-reality series in which a panel of five venture capitalists are pitched potentially profitable new ideas by inventors. There’s only one woman on that panel of five, and that’s real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran. Barbara feels women are not adequately represented on the panel and having an even number of both sexes would make for better TV. Producers, specifically one named Clay Newbill, believe that women would “argue with one another and fight” and it might become snark tank. We agree with Barbara that THAT is an absurd, insulting, and antiquated notion. Amazingly, Newbill assumes women have bigger egos than men when, in fact, they are proven to be more cooperative and less competitive. Misogynistic producers like Newbill need to be retrained, and Barbara might be the woman to do it.

ATTENTION JAY-Z: DROPPING THE “B” WORD MEANS NOTHING!

Memo to Jay-Z, who supposedly vowed to give up using the word “bitch” in his songs in deference to his new daughter Blue Ivy: TOO LITTLE TOO LATE! Your songs degrading women are already out there and always will be, even if you don’t record any more. The damage has been DONE by you and your fellow rappers and it will take more than erasing a word to change your revolting attitude toward women. If you’re looking for a pat on the back because you might have finally realized the damage you’ve done to the female sex, don’t hold your breath. Blue Ivy will grow up in the misogynistic world you and your fellow rappers created.
