I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Many moons ago …many many moons ago … Vanessa Marcil played Gina Kincaid on the last two seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210 where she met her ex-fiancé-baby-daddy Brian Austin Green. And last month, because she clearly has nothing going on in her life, Marcil went on Instagram Live to talk about the “cattiness” on the set of the show that has been off the air for decades … specifically from Jennie Catty Garth who apparently told Marcil:

“Maybe it would help if you didn’t walk around like somebody who isn’t liked?”

And, as happens, Jennie and her BFF Tori Spelling also have nothing to do so they took their talk of Marcil to their podcast 9021OMG with Tori muttering:

“What the fuck does that mean? That doesn’t sound like something you would even say. I’m going to go on record that you didn’t say that… No matter how she phrases it, it has a negative connotation to it.”

Jennie chimed in to say that while it doesn’t sound like something she’d have said when she was younger, it is “sound advice”:

“To her point, from what I sort of gleaned… she was in a bad place in her personal life, in her development. Like she was in that place where she took everything too personally”

Isn’t it funny that the girls accused of being catty bitches in the late 90s acted all catty about it in 2021?

A couple of years ago, at the height of the #MeToo movement, Sharon Stone laughed out loud when asked if she had ever experienced sexual harassment in the film, and now she has a memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, coming out, and in it, she talks about all the sexist crap she faced while working in Hollywood.

Of course, we know the legend of Stone and that Basic Instinct coochie-flash. She says she was never told that her vagina would be making a cameo, and that it was simply going to be implied that she wasn’t wearing underwear—she was told to remove her own underwear because they were reflecting the light—and that first time she saw the scene, vagina and all, was in “a room full of [male] agents and lawyers, most of whom had nothing to do with the project”:

“That was how I saw my vagina-shot for the first time, long after I’d been told, ‘We can’t see anything—I just need you to remove your panties, as the white is reflecting the light, so we know you have panties on.’ Yes, there have been many points of view on this topic, but since I’m the one with the vagina in question, let me say: The other points of view are bullshit.”

After the scene was screened, Sharon slapped director Paul Verhoeven, and immediately called her lawyer, Marty Singer who said she could sue and keep the film from being released:

“Marty told me that they could not release this film as it was. That I could get an injunction. First, at that time, this would give the film an X rating. Remember, this was 1992, not now, when we see erect penises on Netflix. And, Marty said, per the Screen Actors Guild … it wasn’t legal to shoot up my dress in this fashion … Then I thought … What if I were the director? What if I had gotten that shot? What if I had gotten it on purpose? Or by accident? What if it just existed? That was a lot to think about. I knew what film I was doing. For heaven’s sake, I fought for that part, and all that time, only this director had stood up for me. I had to find some way to become objective.”

After giving it some thought, Sharon decided not to fight it because “it was correct for the film and for the character; and because, after all, I did it.”

But Stone also dishes about an unnamed producer who suggested she literally fuck her co-star to make their on-screen chemistry better. For that unnamed film, Stone had actor approval, but nobody cared about that, and the producer hired an actor who bombed his screentest. Then, instead of finding a better actor, the producer put it on Sharon to fuck a better performance out of him:

“I had a producer bring me to his office, where he … explained to me why I should fuck my costar so that we could have onscreen chemistry … [I thought] You guys insisted on this actor when he couldn’t get one whole scene out in the test … Now you think if I fuck him, he will become a fine actor? Nobody’s that good in bed. I felt they could have just hired a costar with talent, someone who could deliver a scene and remember his lines. I also felt they could fuck him themselves and leave me out of it.”

I love her.

So, who is this sleazy producer? Well, it might just be the late Robert Evans who produced Sliver in which Sharon co-starred with the immensely talented[?] Billy Baldwin. I am waiting for this book to come out and I will read it with wine and popcorn and love every minute of it.

Johnny Depp hasn’t had a great year , you know, between trying to appeal a UK court’s ruling that The Sun could legally refer to him as a “wife beater” … and preparing to go Round 2 3 4 5 Whatever with ex-wife Amber Heard in yet another defamation lawsuit trial … and wondering what happened to his film career. But then add in the two, count ‘em, two times in the last three months that someone has broken into Depp’s homes and you can see he is not having a good time.

Last January, a woman was found inside Depp’s Hollywood Hills home; nothing was stolen, and she was arrested a few homes down, and is ALLEGEDLY to other break-ins in the area. But then last week a man was found breaking inside the house.

Police were called to the Depp’s home by a neighbor who spotted an apparently homeless man hanging his backyard near the pool. The neighbor confronted the man, who took off and hopped a gate, which actually got him closer to Depp’s house. The police were called again, this time by Depp’s security team, alerting them someone was inside the home, and when officers arrived they found the man having a cocktail and taking a shower , and refusing to come out; officers had to kick the door down to arrest him.

Wait, a homeless looking guy drinking in Depp’s house and acting the fool? And it wasn’t Depp? Are they sure?

After Alex Trebek passed away, Jeopardy! has enlisted a string of guest hosts—like Ken Jennings, Aaron Rodgers, Mayim Bialik, and Katie Couric—but when producers announced that Dr. Oz would be taking a turn at Alex’s podium, over 500 past Jeopardy! signed an open letter to producers calling the move “a slap in the face to all involved.” Here’s an excerpt of the letter:

“We understand that first and foremost, Jeopardy! is a television show, and ratings are important. However, Dr. Oz stands in opposition to everything that Jeopardy! stands for. Jeopardy! is a show that values facts and knowledge. Throughout his nearly two decades on television [Oz] has used his authority as a doctor to push harmful ideas onto the American public, in stark contrast with his oath to first do no harm. These ideas include promoting supplements that do nothing, legitimizing gay conversion therapy (which is banned in California, as well as 19 other states), dangerous “cures” for autism, and, most recently, the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID-19. None of these things is backed by any scientific fact and by promoting them he is actively putting his viewers in danger. In fact, his ideas are so dangerous that thousands of his colleagues have petitioned to have him fired from his position at Columbia Medical School. And what kind of message does this send to the LGBTQ+ and autistic contestants and viewers of Jeopardy!?”

Sadly, hottie Mike Richards, executive producer, kind of just shrugged and let a man who went on Fox News last year and said schools should reopen because the mortality rate among children was only 2 to 3 percent, which, to an ALLEGED doctor is a suitable number of kids dying.

Hopefully, when Oz’s turn is done, someone drops a house on him—see what I did there—and he never returns.
