Talk about mean spirited.

Interesting that ex-US Sen Chris Dodd, a Democrat, who was in a position to do so, as the Motion Picture Association of America’s chairman/CEO, did nothing about Weinstein’s ongoing atrocities. Or maybe, like Meryl Streep, Dodd “did not know.” Dodd also never knew 2000 miles away, at the NY Film School, female graduates were told not to take jobs with The Weinstein Company.

REFERENCE-—RICO rape filed against Weinstein and Disney

90 pages of Weinstein’s activities, his tactics and accomplices——all the Hollywood types who covered-up for him.


THIS IS HOW HOLLYWOOD WORKS-—a little bgrnd on how to get a movie contract in Hollywood.

NY POST BY BRUCE GOLDING, Oct 15, 2017 Famed former Manhattan sex-crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein worked as a consultant for Harvey Weinstein after he was accused of groping a model in his Tribeca office two years ago,according to a new report Sunday.

Fairstein helped set up a series of meetings between Weinstein’s lead defense lawyer and Martha Bashford, the head of the Sex Crimes Unit in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and a “close friend” of Fairstein’s, the New York Times reported.

Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. later declined to prosecute Weinstein over the March 27, 2015, incident, and last week said his decision was “guided by the sex-crime team.”

Prosecutor Fairstein — a best-selling novelist who in 2007 wrote a Vanity Fair column about wanting to make a movie with Weinstein — defended her decision to work for the since-disgraced producer by vouching for defense lawyer Elkan Abramowitz.

“Calling Ms. Bashford to tell her who Elkan was and to ask her to consider meeting with him is the kind of thing I do four to six times every year,” she told the Times. The Times didn’t detail Fairstein’s consulting deal, but said the ex-prosecutor — celebrated for winning the conviction of “preppy killer” Robert Chambers in 1988 — didn’t believe the allegation against Weinstein. In a Monday email to The Post, Fairstein said she called Bashford at the request of Abramowitz, who she described as a “friend of 25 years,” and not Weinstein.

“I never received a fee from either,” she wrote. “I read documents and made an intro by phone.”

The Times’ report also revealed that an NYPD detective intervened during a secretly recorded encounter between accuser Ambra Batillana Gutierrez and Weinstein inside the Tribeca Grand Hotel, a day after she accused him of grabbing her breasts and trying to slip his hand up her skirt.

The plainclothes cop got worried when Weinstein “grew belligerent” while trying to coax Gutierrez, then 22, into a hotel room, the Times said, so he pretended to be a TMZ reporter seeking an interview with Weinstein. The maneuver reportedly led Weinstein to “retreat from the hallway” and let Gutierrez escape out a side door.The detective later identified himself to Weinstein, who agreed to go to a police station for questioning.

But Weinstein refused to answer any questions about Gutierrez’ groping allegations and instead asked for a lawyer, the Times said. NYPD officials who spoke to the Times on condition of anonymity denied a claim last week by Vance’s No. 2, Chief Assistant DA Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, who said: “The seasoned prosecutors in our Sex Crimes Unit were not afforded the opportunity before the meeting to counsel investigators on what was necessary to capture in order to prove a misdemeanor sex crime.”“Why would we not call about Harvey Weinstein?” a senior police official said. The same official said the recording — on which Weinstein apologized for touching Gutierrez and repeatedly promised he wouldn’t do it again — was enough evidence to charge him with misdemeanor sexual abuse.“He admitted, twice, doing it. That’s probable cause to make an arrest,” the official said.

Vance — who is running unopposed for a third term in November — told the Times that he discussed the case with Bashford and Friedman-Agnifilo at least three times before accepting Bashford’s recommendation to drop it. “I didn’t have any pushback on Martha’s opinion, mindful that Martha has greater expertise in sex crimes than I do,” he said. Bashford declined to comment, the Times said.

One for the idiots. I hope someone can target another idiot, and destroy that walk. Oh, get drunk first for a good alibi.

So perhaps Atlanta should vote to use spotlights on Stone Mountain so we can enjoy it 24/7 - Looks like The Left continues to divide America because they lost elections.

THIS JUST IN: HOLLYWOOD HAS “VALUES” LA and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce voted to remove Trump’s Walk of Fame star: “.....due to his actions that do not meet the shared values of the City of West Hollywood.......”

The shocker here is an admission that Hollywood has “values.”

Who knew?

So the celebs who endorsed and financed Bill Clinton’s treatment of women also get voted off? Right?

According to FEC Info, an Internet Web site (www.tray.com) that tracks federal political contributions, 176 individual donors actually contributed $10,000 or more to the lewinsky-era Clinton Legal Expense Trust fund through Dec 1999. Another 21 donors gave $10,000 in the first six months of 2000.

Thanks to Hollywood’s generosity, 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. Hollywood producers and stars made up the bulk of the most generous givers. They included:

<><> Harvey Weinstein

<><> Universal Studios tycoon Lew Wasserman and his wife, Edith, who have given $60,000;

<><>DreamWorks trio Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg, $20,000 each;

<><> producer Ron Burkle and his wife, Janet, $40,000;

<><> producers Peg and Bud Yorkin, $30,000;

<><> TV producer Norman Lear, $20,000.

Entertainment celebrities and executives giving $10,000 included:

<><> singers Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand;

<><> actors Michael Douglas and Tom Hanks;

<><> director Ron Howard; producer Gail Zappa;

<><>Black Entertainment Television founder Robert L. Johnson.

“The West Hollywood City Council did not pass the resolution because Donald Trump is a conservative or a Republican...,”

It’s because he is an effective conservative and Republican.

I think the criteria is, “People keep vandalizing it, so we’ll just give in to them.”

I don’t see how a pavement plaque honors someone.

In Islam, one of the greater insults is to walk on someone's name (or flag), or direct the soles of your feet or shoes at them.

(I have a pair of shoes with Muhammad's name written on the soles in proper Arabic, thanks to my buddy who was an Army linguist in Iraq.)

West Hollywood City Council has no control over the Hollywood Walk of Fame which was built and is entirely maintained by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

“After the way the liberals and the press have treated Sarah Sanders, they have the NERVE to complain about how Trump treats women?”

Yeah but Trump said pussy, so that’s racist...or something.

On your private property.

It’s NOT free to have a star on the walk...currently it cost’s $30,000.

They better refund DJT et al for his expenses or be sued.
