GABRIELLE UNION IS FIRE PERSONIFIED

Gabrielle Union knows how to dress for the occasion. She’s in London, on her way to the exclusive Chiltern Firehouse for dinner, and it’s an unusually chilly night. So naturally she tossed on a fire engine red ensemble and she looks adorable. She can also have a bit of a fiery disposition- remember when she appeared as a judge on the 14th season of America’s Got Talent and she couldn’t STAND Simon Cowell’s chain smoking in her presence. She complained, and her contract was NOT renewed for a second year. She spoke freely about the show’s “toxic” environment and is suing them for racism etc. So don’t blow smoke in HER face!

DOES OFFSET HAVE A CONSCIENCE?

We’ve always thought Offset had a dead-serious scary face and indeed, he does get into a lot of fights. In 2020 he rented a luxurious Bentley for $600 a day from Platinum Transportation Group. He stopped paying a month later and explained that he didn’t know WHERE the car was! PTG filed a police report for the missing Bentley, which was not found. They estimated they lost $100,000 on potential income for the absent vehicle. Offset ignored the situation and he has now been slapped with a $950,027.35 lawsuit. Coincidentally, he just bought his very excited wife Cardi B a house in the Dominican Republic for her birthday- we wonder if she has SEEN it yet….hmmm

JOHNNY ROTTEN’S NO-FRILLS BOOK TOUR

John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten wants you to know he’s BROKE. The Sex Pistols lead singer is currently touring the UK (he has dozens and dozens of personal appearance dates) and he’s promoting his new book I Could Be Wrong, I could Be Right.” (currently selling on eBay for $150) To save money he’s traveling from date to date and sleeping in a rented camper van. (above) Lydon lost an expensive court case where he refused to allow Sex Pistol songs in Danny Boyle’s new Pistols biographical series Pistol. The other band members cooperated, but John wanted nothing to do with the Disney FX series- the judge defended “majority rules” – and it was an expensive loss for Lydon. Hence the low budget tour…

JOHNNY DEPP: HOW NOT TO GET A DIVORCE

There’s no doubt that Johnny Depp’s career has taken a severe beating since he split with wife Amber Heard in 2016. The lawsuit he filed against The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater” was a nightmare- he was drilled about his behavior in court and all sorts of negative conduct involving drugs and alcohol were dredged up and he looked BAD. And he lost. It cost him all his big ticket movie roles (Fantastic Beasts, Pirates of the Caribbean etc) His current 50 million dollar defamation lawsuit against Amber (she wrote in the Washington Post that she is a “domestic abuse survivor”) will no doubt repeat those debauched stories about him. He’s in a bad place and he and Amber are both spending a fortune on lawyers. Depp did manage to make a movie –City of Lies- that is showing, but not in competition, at the Deauville American Film Festival. His fans were happy to see him there, even if he did a lot of complaining about being blackballed in Hollywood…

NO SYMPATHY HERE FOR GORILLA GLUE GIRL

We felt sorry for the TikTok celeb Tessica Brown who sprayed her hair with Gorilla Glue when she ran out of hairspray. Her hair is hard as a rock and we can’t imagine WHAT her scalp feels like, but she’s tried everything – including a trip to the ER. The Gorilla Glue company’s suggestions (rubbing alcohol) didn’t work and the glue hasn’t budged. She set up a GoFundMe to pay her hospital bill and sympathetic people donated over $12,000. But that wasn’t enough. Tessica decided to hire a lawyer and SUE the Gorilla Glue company and blame THEM for her own stupid actions. THAT’S when we STOPPED feeling sorry for her…

FKA TWIGS DIDN’T WANT TO RUIN SHIA LABEOUF’S CAREER!

Wow – it turns out Shia LaBeouf could have avoided all this career damage created by FKA Twigs’ sexual battery lawsuit. Before anything became public, Twigs attempted to settle the lawsuit quietly because she DIDN’T WANT TO RUIN HIS CAREER. All she asked of Shia was that he make a donation to a domestic violence victims charity, and seek psychological treatment so he wouldn’t harm any more women. He did NOT agree, so the suit was revealed and he lost his coveted role in Olivia Wilde’s new thriller Don’t Worry Darling. Shia had already clashed with the cast and crew, and Olivia promptly replaced him with Harry Styles. Career prospects are now dim. Shia’s new lawyer worked for OJ Simpson and she is playing up Shia’s “honesty” in admitting to abuse and alcoholism. But of course, alcoholism is no excuse for violence.

WE ADMIRE FKA TWIGS FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING

UK singer FKA Twigs showed remarkable courage when she filed her lawsuit accusing her ex-boyfriend Shia LaBeouf of sexual battery and assault. She documented in detail numerous violent and controlling situations he inflicted upon her when they were together. Keep in mind, HE is the more famous and powerful person in this relationship. Another of his ex-girlfriends joined Twigs in the lawsuit with similar charges. FKA Twigs stated that she wants other women to understand that this can happen to anyone, and she wants to raise awareness about the tactics that abusers use to control their victims. When confronted with the charges, LaBeouf admitted almost everything “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression,” he said “I abused myself and everyone around me, and I’m ashamed and sorry about those I hurt.” And this guy has had a long string of girlfriends! We celebrate FKA Twigs for her bravery – she has little to gain from this purposeful but embarrassing lawsuit, and will probably be taunted online by LaBeouf’s fans.

JOHNNY DEPP IS NOW OFFICIALLY A WIFE BEATER

Johnny Depp was WARNED not to pursue his lawsuit against The Sun newspaper for calling him a “wife beater” because it could only damage his already questionable reputation. But he INSISTED. His ex-wife Amber Heard came to court and documented no less than fourteen incidents of violence against her. She also provided many unsavory details about Depp’s alcohol and drug abuse and revolting behavior. In addition, Amber pointed out that she had taken flak for speaking out against Johnny and it had a negative affect on her career. Johnny lost his suit and we were gratified that the judge defended free speech and the media’s right to publish. Amber was praised for courageously reporting the domestic violence. This does NOT bode well for Johnny’s upcoming lawsuit against Amber for implying he was an abuser in an article she wrote for the Washington Post. Will he do this all over again?

EVERYBODY STANDS TO LOSE IN JOHNNY DEPP’S LAWSUIT AGAINST THE SUN

Today was the last day in the Johnny Depp vs The Sun newspaper lawsuit in London, and everyone involved has a lot to lose. If The Sun wins and does not have to retract calling Johnny a wife-beater, his reputation has still been considerably worsened by details revealed during the trial. If he loses, his ex Amber Heard will seem like a brave crusader to the #MeToo crowd. If Amber’s claims are NOT believed and The Sun loses, the paper could be in great financial jeopardy due to the newspaper crisis made worse by coronavirus. And Amber might be ostracized by #MeToo for trumping up false charges. There is no date yet set for the provocative verdict to be read.

FINALLY, SOME JUSTICE FOR ASHLEY JUDD

Nothing makes us happier than to see Ashley Judd get some legal justice where Harvey Weinstein is concerned. She was one of his earliest and bravest victims and filed a lawsuit against him two years ago which was dismissed. Judd charged that Weinstein was angry with her for not being sexually cooperative and badmouthed her to damage her career. We LOVE that director Peter Jackson came forward and said that he wanted to cast Ashley in The Lord of the Rings in 1998, but Weinstein told him she was “a nightmare to work with and should be avoided at all costs.” (Words like that get around. Who knows how many other people he said that to!) He aimed to destroy her career at the peak of her earning years. Weinstein is currently serving 29 years for rape and other sex crimes – let’s add a few more…
