In a forthcoming interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Baldwin also says that he did not pull the trigger. Advertisement According to ABC News, Baldwin says the bullet should never have been on the set, but that he wouldn’t have fired it near others in the first place: “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them, never,” Baldwin told Stephanopoulos in a first look at the upcoming interview...“Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property,” he added.” Other reports have stated that the set of the film, titled Rust and also produced by Baldwin, was in turmoil, as union …
Cuomo Brothers’ Downfall Reveals a Gross Bro Code Among Powerful Media Men
The worldwide web, somewhat like the actual wide world, is replete with guys. The wife guy is a classic one. I’m mostly on board with the wife guy. A guy who’s really into his wife and won’t shut up about it? Fine, okay. The curvy wife guy took it to a weird place, but in general, being into your wife: seems good. Advertisement On Tuesday, following the news that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is finally facing consequences for having a very poor understanding of journalistic ethics (possibly of journalism writ large), the internet saw the birth of a new genus of guy: the brother guy. In a nutshell, we learned back in August that the younger Cuomo had helped his older brother, then-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, spin multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault against him—a clear breach of basic journalistic standards. CNN kept him on air. Then this week, New York Attorney General Letitia James released thousands of pages of evidence that the CNN anchor …

Nicole Kidman Almost Quit the Lucille Ball Movie Because Everyone Thought She Was Wrong For It
Perhaps you’ve heard that Aaron Sorkin has made a Lucille Ball biopic starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem as the funny redhead and her husband, Desi Arnaz, respectively. Maybe when you heard this news, you were upset—so upset that you sent a bunch of tweets or yelled about it to anyone who would listen. Perhaps one of those people who heard you was Nicole Kidman. Advertisement At a screening for Being the Ricardos , Kidman told the crowd that after she accepted the role and then saw and heard the chatter about her casting, she emailed Sorkin to rescind her acceptance. “I actually sent [director] Aaron [Sorkin] an e-mail saying, ‘I think I’m actually the wrong person now. I know I said “yes,” but I’m now saying “no,”” Kidman said. “To which he said, ‘You don’t get to say “no” now!’ I’m really glad that he pushed me.” Kidman is not known for being a comedic actor, though I’d argue that the high-drama histrionics of The Undoing and her accent in …
A Definitive Ranking of Zodiac Signs, by Someone Who Totally Knows Stuff About Astrology
Not all generations are burdened by a pseudoscientific obsession with their own horoscope , but mine certainly is. As much as I enjoy getting a really rude and totally inconsequential daily notification from the Co-Star app , I don’t actually know much about star signs or moon signs or rising signs or stop signs. When a friend says something like, “That’s so Capricorn of you” to another, I nod in agreement, having no real concept of what I’m acknowledging. (Sometimes it’s just fun to be involved, you know?) Despite my lack of knowledge, though, I do think there is a lot of value in reading the zodiac and how important it is to certain people and cultures. I also know that Scorpios are to be avoided, or something. Advertisement And yet, because I have absorbed a limited pool of knowledge about horoscopes and astrology through conversations with friends and the larger pop culture landscape, I believe that makes me qualified to give a definitive ranking of all 12 …
What Does Alice Sebold Owe Anthony Broadwater?
When Alice Sebold, acclaimed author of the novel The Lovely Bones and bestselling memoir Lucky , published a statement addressing the recent exoneration of 61-year-old Anthony Broadwater, the Black man whom she’d wrongly accused of rape in 1981, I knew that it would be an imperfect apology. Sebold took eight days to finally make a statement—eight days to meditate on the shock and confusion that the news had undoubtedly brought up for her. Advertisement Then the 58-year-old author wrote, “I am truly sorry to Anthony Broadwater and I deeply regret what you have been through.” She went on to lament the fact that “my own misfortune resulted in Mr. Broadwater’s unfair conviction for which he has served not only 16 years behind bars but in ways that further serve to wound and stigmatize, nearly a full life sentence.” While people were clamoring for Sebold to say something— anything— in the days after Broadwater was exonerated, eight days of contemplation on an …
