Have you not been alive the last 10 years?

My TV is full of talentless cocks making millions for being talentless. 

I'd tell you who started it but seeing as they're now dead, I wouldn't appear as classy as i usually do.

Looks like James Corden may have been too soon cracking jokes about HW at an awards show.

I say jokes but it's one of the unfunniest c***s alive cracking them.

Painful viewing. He think's the groans are because it's 'too soon' and people are offended, when it's just because he's not even remotely funny.

[Granny Danger]

I liked Corden in The History Boys; as a comedian he abuses the term.

However we live in an age when stupid folk make talentless folk rich.

When Bill Clinton was at the height of the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Hollywood was by his side, offering donations for his legal fees, and one significant donor was a man who is now going through his own sex scandal—Harvey Weinstein.

More than 20 women have publicly accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, sexual assault or rape. After the New York Times and the New Yorker published in-depth stories detailing the testimonies of women who have been abused by Weinstein—and in many cases, paid off with airtight non-disclosure agreements—the stories have continued to come to light.

Former President Bill Clinton is no stranger to sex scandals. The scandal that received the most media attention came about in the late 1990s after former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones filed a civil lawsuit against him for sexual harassment when he was the state’s governor. During the discovery phase of the case, in which Jones’ legal team was searching for Clinton’s inappropriate relationships, the name of a White House intern surfaced: Monica Lewinsky.

In August 1998, a report from the Washington Post noted that Clinton was being accused of perjury and obstruction of justice regarding his testimony about his conduct with Lewinsky. At the same time, influential members of Hollywood were coming to Clinton’s defense.

The report noted that according to Clinton’s legal defense fund, a total of more than $2.2 million was raised in six months, which was notably more than was collected in funding during the previous four years of his presidency—combined.

The fact that more than 60 members of the Hollywood elite were willing to donate both thousands of dollars and their public support to Bill Clinton is notable because the stories of Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky were not his only accusations of rape, sexual harassment or inappropriate relationships with his employees.

Jones returned to the spotlight in October 2016, when she arrived at a press conference with then-Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and along with two other women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault.

Clinton’s name was also linked to sexual predator and wealthy Wall Street hedge fund manager Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein spent just 13 months in prison and home detention for conviction of solicitation and procurement of minors for prostitution. That sentence is absolutely ludicrous, considering the fact that he was found sex-trafficking girls as young as 12 years old to facilitate rape parties with his wealthy friends on a private island.

Epstein’s private jet, which transported his friends to Little St. James Island, was nicknamed “Lolita Express.” Initial records claimed that Bill Clinton was listed as a passenger on the jet at least 11 times between 2001 and 2003. That number was then changed to more than double with 26 trips, showing that Clinton flew on the plane at least once a month during the two-year period.

Harvey Weinstein was a big-time Hollywood producer, a major Democratic donor and a notable close friend of the Clintons. While it is not clearly whether Weinstein was one of the wealthy men who also was connected to Epstein and used his access to rape underage girls, it is clear that there seems to be a trend among ultra-wealthy sexual predators where they lend money to one another when they are caught.

Hillary Clinton waited nearly a week to release a statement on the scandal, and when she did, she focused more on standing up for the victims than on condemning the criminal actions of her close friend. Bill Clinton has yet to make a statement, which raises questions about whether he is concerned that an investigation into Weinstein’s past could bring even more of the Clintons’ dirty laundry to light.

[The Equalizer]

A video has re-surfaced  from 2005 of Courtney Love being interviewed on the red carpet prior to Pamela Andersons roast (I know... wid, etc etc). When asked if she had any advice for young women moving to Hollywood she replied "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party at the four seasons, don't go"

Not a surprise. Clinton, Trump and Weinstein are friends and sexual predators. As the article pointed out, Weinstein contributed to Bill Clinton's legal fees in relation to the Lewinsky scandal. He was also a major donor to Democratic Party election campaigns. Trump was also a contributor to the Democrats election campaign and gave a large six figure donation to the Clinton Foundation.

"The Clintons have long been associated with the blockbuster producer, going all the way back to their time in the White House.

He contributed on several occasions to both husband and wife's various campaigns from 1995 to 2016 according to the nonpartisan Center For Responsive Politics. 

The Weinstein family has given more $1.4m (£1.07m) in political contributions since the 1992 election cycle and wielded influence among film elite, hosting several fundraisers for the Clintons and other notable Democratic candidates and the national party committee.

If we are going to question these women about why they are only just speaking up now, why they signed non-disclosers etc then all we are just creating an environment that tells victims not to speak out at all.

 

Don't speak out when you feel strong enough to do so, don't speak out when others have already done so, don't speak out once you aren't dependent on your accuser for your career . Don't speak out .

Later Tuesday, former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama released a statement voicing their disgust with recent reports about Weinstein:

"Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Harvey Weinstein. Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture – including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect - so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future."

Earlier this year, Obama daughter Malia landed an internship at the Weinstein Company.

"Malia Obama, 19, landed an internship at the Weinstein Company right after her dad left office earlier this year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Working in the New York City office, she was doing more than fetching coffee—TMZreported that Malia Obama was "ensconced in the production/development department," tasked with "reading through scripts and deciding which ones move on to Weinstein brass."

Why are you trying to deflect attention from them? Bill Clinton is as bad as Harvey Weinstein. They are like two peas in the same pod.

Well I doubt their daughter would've worked for him if they didn't find the recent allegations disgusting. If they said "yeah we always knew he was a dodgy fucker" I think what appears to be a weird crusade on your part would be a bit more justified.

So you think Obama knowingly placed his daughter in an internship with a man who he knew to be a predatory rapist? Is that your point?

Just now, welshbairn said:

No but he was happy to get his daughter a job with a big donor who contributed to his campaign.

It suggests that Obama both liked and trusted Weinstein. So what does that say about his judgement?

And do you honestly believe that nobody in Democratic Party politics or Hollywood knew about Weinstein's predation?
