The New York Times dropped a bombshell on Monday that revealed actress and director Asia Argento, one of the first females to accuse Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault, paid off a man who accused her of sexual abuse. From the Times:
But in the months that followed her revelations about Mr. Weinstein last October, Ms. Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past his 17th birthday. She was 37. The age of consent in California is 18.

Comparing a sitting president to Hitler is the new normal. Sarah Silverman unofficially kicked things off by dressing as Der Fuhrer on Conan O'Brien's TBS couch two years ago to hammer home that ugly message. Since then, President Donald Trump has been called Hitler countless times by newspapers, pundits and especially celebrities. That's when stars aren't comparing Trump to a murderer.

I was thrilled to be able to get in touch with my inner geek this week as I had the opportunity to join one of my dearest friends at San Diego Comic-Con 2018. While I had hoped to escape politics while I was at the Convention Center, the inability of progressives to move to the next stage of the Kubler-Ross grief cycle meant that it was thrust upon me at various times.

It's happening again. Once every year or so a mainstream reporter captures how Hollywood conservatives are treated like second-class citizens. And that’s being kind. It’s the new Blacklist, albeit one liberal stars appear happy to ignore.

George Clooney makes some reporters swoon, and it has little to do with his handsome mug. The Oscar winner is one of the industry's more thoughtful stars, sharing his progressive views in a way his peers can't often match. He's hobnobbed with President Barack Obama, testified before Congress and traveled the globe to research causes near and dear to his heart.
