As shandrakor said above, the matter was settled in 1989 and he was in full compliance. The official reprimand does not mention any sexual component, but rather that McGraw hired a former patient to work in his office without waiting for an appropriate probationary period.

I like that Portman is attempting the terribly difficult New England/Miss Porter’s accent. So many try to play Kennedy with a refined Grace Kelly voice, but it’s incorrect.

Your username is fucking hilarious.

I couldn’t believe that comment. I’ve lived throughout the Midwest my entire life and I’ve never heard the slur “jew him down” or “jew him out of something,” etc. I guess in 2016 some people are still living for racist stereotypes.

Louella Parsons was a gossip columnist for Hearst newspapers. She and her arch nemesis Hedda Hopper (actress/gossip columnist for the LA Times) covered the Davis/Crawford feud extensively.

What about Kathy Bates as Louella Parsons? Hmmm. Yes, Ryan has to find her a juicy part for Feud.

Well, I have heard that Judy Davis is attached to Feud as well; I thought perhaps she would play one of the great gossip mavens, probably Hedda Hopper. But now that you bring up Ruth Gordon...she would make a fantastic Ruth Gordon.

I’m in tears, too. I had (yet another) negative experience at a pharmacy this weekend and this article couldn’t have come along at a better time. It is validating and comforting to know one isn’t alone.

Parker was acquitted, but his friend was convicted (all stemming from the same offense).

And it is absolutely infuriating to me that that third man (Kangas), who recognized something was wrong, just walked away. He saw his two friends raping an unconscious woman and he walked away.

I don’t know if you’ve had the opportunity to read the transcripts from the case released by Deadline, but I’d urge you to do so. I too thought that the situation may have been one like you describe above, but...this wasn’t a close call. There were multiple witnesses to the rape. Multiple witnesses who saw the victim…

Yes, he (Parker) also recently had that particularly nasty homophobic comment stating that in order to “preserve” the black man he would never play a gay character. Get the fuck out of here with that stereotyping, bigoted, anti-gay bullshit.

Well, for me it was the testimony of the third man in the apartment that night, Kangas. I could hardly get through the trial transcript. He testified that the victim wasn’t moving and didn’t have her eyes open while his friends were “having sex” with her. Kangas watches for awhile (after Parker waves him in to observe)…

I have no idea if Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick, but, as you say, it is sickening to me that she has been exploited by various people over the years. For example, it is astounding how many times Broaddrick’s phone conversations have been illegally recorded by “journalists” and other idealogues seeking to use…

two-thirds of Newt’s documentary centers on his work as a pimp in San Francisco, while the remaining third focuses on his sons’ group the Newtrons,

Scott Paterno’s first response to this headline this morning was to jump on Twitter (of all places) and publicly brand a survivor of child abuse as “not credible.” I don’t know how one suppresses, twists, ignores one’s own logic and common sense (not to mention dignity) in order to do that, but he did.

Yes. This reminds me of when Mel Gibson attempted to blame his drunkenness for his awful comments about Jewish people. That kind of hatred doesn’t come out of a bottle. All that the alcohol did was allow his social mask to drop, exposing who he really was.

I am simultaneously repulsed, yet in full agreement with this comment.

God, that is such a good idea. Curling irons - not just for burning the back of my head! I immediately thought about my flat iron and then realized the perp would have to literally let me put his pinky in it in order for it to cause any damage. :(
