I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Apparently actress and director Olivia Wilde has zero fucks to give and has implemented a strict No Assholes policy on the set of her movies, including her most recent directorial outing, “Don’t Worry Darling.”

That story came to light last September when word broke that Shia LaBeouf had been replaced by Harry Styles due to a scheduling conflict, when in fact Wilde fired him because, well, asshole:

“The no assholes policy, it puts everybody on the same level,” Wilde concluded. “I also noticed as an actress for years how the hierarchy of the set separated the actors from the crew in this very strange way that serves no one…I think actors would actually like to know more about what’s happening there when you’re pulling my focus? What is that lens change? But the idea of, don’t bother the actors and keep them separate, and don’t look at them. I think it makes everyone quite anxious.”

And so she removed “asshole” LaBeouf’s from “Don’t Worry Darling” and replaced him with Harry Styles, except … rumor also has it that Harry Styles is responsible for the breakup last fall of Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis, so maybe she has a “no asshole, replace with my new trick” policy?

It looks like Kim Kardastrophe West and Kanye Kardastrophe West‘s “separate lives” nonsense has taken another teeny-weeny baby step towards divorce as reports have come out that the two no longer even speak to each other.

Oh.The.Terror.

It was a few weeks back when we learned that KK was no longer wearing her ring, and now we learned that Kanye just moved 500 pairs of shoes out of their Calabasas mansion.

Oh.The.Humanity.

I’ll start off by saying that I have a wee crush on Adam Driver—seriously, who don’t I have a crush on—though he’s not what you might call classically handsome; he just has something. So, this story piqued my interest.

Driver has been in the gossip columns this week because he was accused of assaulting 73-year-old Lidia Franco, his co-start in Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. Franco about her experience on set in a recent interview that was conducted in Portuguese and ALLEGEDLY the English translation of her quotes caused lots of confusion on social media.

In the initial interview, Franco seemingly accused Adam Driver of attacking her with a chair, and also claimed that extras and crew members were ordered not to look at him or even be around him when they weren’t filming. Both Gilliam and the production company have said none of these stories are true, and now, ALLEGEDLY, the rumors are being blamed on bad translations.

In a statement, Franco now says she was never assaulted by Driver, and that he never threw a chair at her, but, in a scene they filmed together:

“Our characters … had to be physically close. I considered the actor’s [she can’t even say his name?] behavior to be rude because, in the preparation of a scene, he didn’t take the care I believe he should have taken … and every time he stood up with the force of the character to do the rest of the scene, the chair in which he was sitting would bump into me with some force, which bothered me.”

Now, she claims that in the original interview she was just venting, though somehow she turned a bump into an assault.

I looked up the Portuguese translation for ‘Karen.’

It’s Karen.

Meanwhile, on the Armie Hammer front … while he has remained fairly quiet after several women came forward and accused of all kinds of physical and sexual abuse, and perhaps even cannibalism, The Daily Mail  was given messages and audio of Armie whining about how he’s being “kink shamed” by the internet and how women are now offering up their body parts for him to eat.

The Daily Mail says that a woman, who wished to remain anonymous, claims she started talking to Armie in December on Instagram. Armie shared all of his fantasies with her and tried to get her to join in. And then came all these allegations and Armie ALLEGEDLY cried and whined to this female friend that he was being “kink shamed.” Oh, and he bragged that he’s been getting lots and lots of offers from “girls who said I can eat pieces of them.”

But wait there’s more. Armie sent voice notes to this woman where he says:

“I wanna hear about each orgasm. I want you to tell me how it felt like. How strong it was. How long it lasted. Those are mine, don’t forget, so you have to tell me everything.”

The ick factor rises like bile in my throat.

On the upside, I recently rewatched Jagged Edge with Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges and I realized how much like Jeff Bridges in the 80s reminds me of my former flame, Armie. So, when I hear more sickening tales of Armie’s perversions I will simply think of Jeff Bridges from 1987.

Crisis averted!
