I know I've read basically that exact Sheen allegation before somewhere.

the closest thing our culture has ever come to a "run forrest!" moment.

Yeah, ever since Feldman began talking publicly about child molestation in Hollywood, I've heard the Sheen rumors.

Sheen's early 2011 run was definitely a watershed moment / turning point for media & pop culture in the USA... such a strange year

Yep.

The guy who makes the allegation in the Radar link above though has also been the subject of those rumors as well. Would be nice if Corey F. would just open up about everything.

the way the whole Two & a Half Men thing went down, his insane media blitz, the tweeting, getting together with one of the most famous porn stars at the time, that weird tour he did... it was unlike any other celebrity "breakdown" before. was of a piece with the Arab Spring imo, which happened just a month or two earlier, had a lot to do with traditional gatekeepers of information being undermined by social media

flappy bird, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 18:50 (six years ago) link

ah ok i wasn't aware it was a "breakdown", i thought he was just being a "bad boy" or something

brimstead, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

nah he was completely gakked out on coke and steroids and giving all these insane interviews everywhere and posting videos on twitter and shit

flappy bird, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link

i sort of get what you mean in the sense that i was like "wait why does everyone care about this, what is going on, did US magazine buy the internet"

ah ok got it

I didn't think I could think any less of Seagal.

Didn't he movie to Russia specifically because he felt (a la Gary Glitter) that the West was too uptight about sexual predators?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 November 2017 20:10 (six years ago) link

there is absolutely no way the keith urban thing is a good idea, holy shit

Simon H., Wednesday, 8 November 2017 20:12 (six years ago) link

Will the Keith Urban song be better or worse than the Brad Paisley/LL song?

Has Nicole Kidman said anything about Weinstein yet?

wasn’t he in danger of being charged with sex trafficking at some point too?

Country music world not known for boldly challenging conservative conventions. Hollywood is more likely to be his main target, not sexual predators.

Isn't he married to Nicole Kidman? I guess the best we can hope for is rage.

Imagine what the reaction would have been a year ago if Rose McGowan had said, "I'm surrounded by secret ex-Mossad agents who are taping our conversations and trying to destroy me" pic.twitter.com/v4KjakNY8a

I've got to say that the warrant for Rose McGowan's appearance for leaving a bag behind that had drugs in it is... extremely suspect

He was the poor man's Robert Downey Jr. comeback story - seemingly wasted his career on drugs, made a big comeback starring on the most popular TV sitcom of the '00s, then proceeded to meltdown again.

Also he seemed to be genuinely deranged, so mean lols.

The lyrics of Keith Urban's new song "Female," which he wrote because of Harvey Weinstein, are really something elsehttps://t.co/7BwItDE5ot pic.twitter.com/nvWQBCjkk2

there seemed to be a brief window after sheen meltdown #2 or 3 where it seemed like he was going to have a 'comeback' and then he admitted to having HIV and I believe perhaphs knowingly sleeping with women and not telling them, and then that was over. I can't really remember the last time he came up though. where is he now?

Keith Urban - "Female"

"These are all the types of female that exist, and Keith was very thorough."

He did 100 episodes of a sitcom that Sam Simon wrote on, and played the president in Machete Kills

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore, now 70, said.

Of course, lol.

Don't know if the Louie one 'deserves' to be on this thread yet, though it's HR's choice to leave allegations against CK completely out of it, even though it's prob the reason?

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 9 November 2017 18:08 (six years ago) link

If the published allegations end up lining up with the rumors it'll definitely be thread-worthy.
