Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have both alleged that they suffered sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein in the 1990s.Paltrow starred in the Oscar-winning Shakespeare In Love which was a Miramax Films production, produced by Weinstein. She claimed that after being asked to attend a meeting in his hotel room he suggested they enter the bedroom for a massage.‘I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,’ Paltrow told the New York Times.She rejected the offer and reportedly told her then-boyfriend Brad Pitt who at a party approached Weinstein ands told him to never touch Paltrow again.Representatives for Pitt confirmed the story.'I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth,’ added Angelina Jolie in an email to the publication, which broke the story of decades of harassment by Weinstein.‘And as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did. This behavior towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable,’ she added.In the past week dozens of other women have spoken out and alleged assault and harassment by Weinstein.Asia Argento, an Italian film actress and director, claimed that Weinstein ‘forcibly performed oral sex on her’ but that she refused to speak out because ‘he has crushed a lot of people’.‘That’s why this story—in my case, it’s twenty years old, some of them are older—has never come out,’ she added.‘The thing with being a victim is I felt responsible,’ she said. ‘Because if I were a strong woman, I would have kicked him in the balls and run away. But I didn’t. And so I felt responsible.’ An audio recording made by a Filipina-Italian model named Ambra Battilana Gutierrez features Weinstein pleading with her to enter a bathroom and watch him have a shower.As she continues to say no he gets angrier, and when she asks why he groped her breasts the day before he apologises and admits it is simply behavior he is ‘used to’.That recording was made with the NYPD as part of a sting after Gutierrez went to the police about Weinstein’s behaviour.The District Attorney later decided to drop the case.

It's One of Many Ludicrous Statements from Newly Leaked Interviews Between the President and Howard Stern.It's common knowledge that President Donald Trump frequently called in to chat with notorious radio personality, Howard Stern. But what exactly those conversations entailed was not known to a majority of the public. Until now. According to Elle and other outlets, 15 hours of interviews between the president and Stern were leaked earlier this week. You can listen to them on FactBase, although The Washington Post has done us all the great service of transcribing them here. In case you were wondering, during the presidential race, Stern refused to re-air his interviews with the then-candidate, claiming "Trump did the show...in an effort to have fun with us." A few choice comments from the tapes are below, as abridged from the Elle article.-"When conversation moves on to Trump's obsession with cleanliness, Stern asks him whether he has the women he dates get tested for STDs. 'I own 25 percent of Goodyear Tire and Rubber,' Trump, who is now President of the United States responds, an apparent reference to the number of condoms he goes through."-According to tapes transcribed by the Washington Post, Sterns demands to know whether it's true that Trump has "banged some of the greatest beauties on the planet. 'True,' Trump answers. 'Some of the greats.'" -Trump calls Elin Nordegren a "solid nine," but gives Angelina Jolie a "seven." Jolie, one thinks, must be crushed.-Trump think Ivanka is "much better-looking" than Charlize Theron. Which is kind of a weird thing to say re: your daughter.-And, last but not least..."He tells Stern that Anne Hathaway once lived in Trump Tower: 'I like all people that live in my building. Anybody that lives in my building, even if they’re really unattractive, I consider them to be beautiful,' and while he 'wasn’t a fan,' Hathaway has since 'grown on' him." Wow. What a win for Anne Hathaway!

The grocery store tabloids are usually filled with speculation about everything from her weight to her love life.But while Angelina Jolie might normally be expected to skip the magazine rack, she rushed to grab a copy of one particular publication as she shopped on Sunday.The actress grinned with undisguised delight when she spotted her old friend Jane Goodall on the front cover of this month's National Geographic.She played the iconic primatologist in the 2011 movie Jane's Journey.And Angelina gave a rare public smile as she picked up a copy of the magazine and flicked through the pages while doing her grocery shopping with an assistant in Los Feliz.The copy was covered by the iconic female scientist, famed for her landmark studies of chimpanzees in the wild.A new documentary, Jane, scored by composer Philip Glass, draws from more than 100 hours of previously unseen footage filmed by Hugo van Lawick, a National Geographic filmmaker who later married Goodall.The movie also includes new interviews with Goodall. The documentary premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, where Angelina was present promoting her movie about the Cambodian genocide First They Killed My Father, now showing on Netflix, which she directed and co-wrote.Angelina, 42, wore her usual black as she shopped, with the mother-of-six filling her trolley with a selection of healthy food - vegetables, fruit, eggs and juice - carrying a handy Everlane Day Tote on her shoulder. Following her split from husband Brad Pitt last year, Angelina recently told People magazine she felt 'stronger'.The actress turned director has children Maddox, 16, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with Brad. Speaking to People magazine, she said: 'I have had my ups and downs. I guess I am a little bit stronger.'We all have our difficult times, but as a mother you also have a responsibility first and foremost towards the kids. They are going through their formative years and everything else comes second to that.'I haven’t worked for over a year now because they needed me home. We’ve all been a bit in lockdown. I think they’re itching to get out in the world again.'The Maleficent star’s comments come after she returned to work after taking a break in 2016 when her divorce meant she was 'needed' at home to support her brood.She said: 'Right now I don't have anything to direct that I feel passionate about like this, so I'll do some acting. I've taken over a year off now, because of my family situation, to take care of my kids.'When they can have - when I feel it's time for me to go back to work, I'll be able to go back to work. I've been needed at home. I hope [to work again] in the months to come.'Asked what she'll be working on, she added: 'Maleficent [sequel], we're working on, most likely. And I look forward to having some fun with that. Cleopatra, there is a script. There's a lot of different things floating around. But I haven't committed.'
