Well, as I explain, they’re both regarded as insta-punchlines, regardless of the gulf in talent. Ask a bunch of people who Tonya Harding is/was, and probably “extremely talented ice skater” would not be the first thing you hear.

The funny thing is, that’s probably because they didn’t think Wonder Woman would be a big hit (Hollywood thought people didn’t want female superhero movies because Elektra and Catwoman bombed [because they were garbage]). So they underestimated the power and appeal of Gadot/Wonder Woman movie and didn’t lock down the…

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.

Apparently, unlike most contracts for actors in superhero movies, Gadot is not singed to a multiple-picture contract. She’s under no obligation to appear in any more movies as Wonder Woman, so she can demand a huge raise and she has the power to get Ratner removed. She’s got WB over a barrel.

Fuck yeah! This is how you use your power in Hollywood for good. As if I weren’t already enough in love with Gal Gadot.

The pervasive assumption that we weren’t talking to victims who preferred to stay anonymous and doing the legwork behind the scenes while the above piece details all of the women Anna had been communicating with is very strange, but also not surprising.

You may not know her own albums, but chances are you’ve heard something she’s had a hand in. Before her personal music totally blew up, she was a powerhouse that worked behind-the-scenes as a songwriter and session musician for other people. She wrote a lot of stuff for super famous people like Christina Aguilera and…

It’s not rocket science, you guys. The idea is not that Disney is “punished” by them not going to the screenings, it’s saying they won’t be the stick Disney uses to beat the LA Times. They implicitly benefit from having a competitor (of sorts) out of the running in something that rewards publishing as soon as…

He’s talking about FOX News. That clip was from before he was fired.

When he starts talking about not wanting to make his network look bad, his eyes narrow, he leans in, and he starts enunciating more sharply.

I am taking probably more enjoyment than I should about how seething with rage he is about this

Yes, please tell us more about how being told that you’re “perfectly fuckable” doesn’t count as sexual harassment.

Yes, a pop culture journalist writing a round-up of stories that have been put into the public domain by the victims themselves is entirely equivalent to a serial sexual predator who has unrepentently abused the people he has power over.

What you call “descent into gossip and voyeurism” can also be called “giving a voice to victims of sexual exploitation and violence.” Shut up and let these people tell their stories. Listen to their stories. Stop being such a bitter, nasty human being.

9You’re comment is both incredibly dismissive and lacking in empathy.

Are you fucking kidding me, scumbag?

Switched at Birth taught me that deaf people like their music loud (because they can still feel vibrations, and lots of deaf people have some residual hearing, so they might not be able to distinguish spoken words, but they can still get something out of music if the volume's cranked high enough).
