On December 7 of 2017, Bryan Singer of X-Men franchise fame was sued by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman for an incident that said individual claimed to have happened when he was still 17 years old in 2003. According to Sanchez-Guzman, he met Singer at a party held in the Seattle region. There, he was invited into a secluded back room where he was forced into having sex. Afterwards, Sanchez-Guzman claimed that Singer told him that Singer was a famous producer, outright stating that he could help Sanchez-Guzman become an actor so long as Sanchez-Guzman remained silent about the incident. However, if Sanchez-Guzman

Earlier this year, The Pistol Shrimps put Tommy Wiseau from The Room in Star Wars scenes. This was hilarious and meant to be a joke (I hope so anyway). After the success of The Disaster Artist, Wiseau is back in the public eye. Whether that is good or bad is not for us to say, but either way, it has led to Wiseau sending out a tweet that quotes The Room and asks to be part of Star Wars.
Oh, hi, Mark. Put me in the next Star Wars. https://t.co/orYSYpKK7z

I can't imagine what Wiseau's character would even pretend to be. Resistance? First Order? Something else? With all of the cameos that happen in the new movies, including quite a few dressed as stormtroopers so you can't tell, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this happened. At the same time, however,...

“The Room” mastermind Tommy Wiseau may be too busy to direct a “Star Wars” movie right now, but he’s apparently free enough to be able to play a part in “Star Wars Episode IX.” Taking full advantage of the fact that “The Last Jedi” and “The Disaster Artist’ are both playing in theaters, Wiseau is pitching himself for the next “Star Wars” sequel, which is being directed by J.J. Abrams.

Wiseau has taken to Twitter to directly address the official “Star Wars” account and request a part in the third entry in the Rey-centric trilogy. Fortunately, we already know how brilliant a Tommy Wiseau-starring “Star Wars” film would be thanks to a viral video that launched in May earlier this year.

These days, there are a few obvious upcoming DC films that are inspiring much chatter, such as The Batman and Wonder Woman 2, but there’s also one that we shouldn’t forget about that’s been merely a dream to comic book fans for the longest time. We are, of course, talking about Nightwing, a motion picture that’ll tell the story of the Dark Knight’s first apprentice as he breaks out on his own.
Obviously, those of you who are awaiting this movie as anxiously as I am are wondering when we’re going to get some kind of official word regarding it because no release date has been given by the studio.

In his first interview since filing a December 7 sexual assault lawsuit against former “Bohemian Rhapsody” director Bryan Singer, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman said he’s content with his decision to finally speak out 14 years after the alleged encounter left him traumatized. “A weight has been taken off my back,” the 31-year-old Washington resident told The Wrap. “I definitely feel a sense of empowerment as well. I’m angry at the situation, I’m angry at Bryan and I feel like this is definitely going to help me to get a lot better.”

Bryan Singer has had a ruinous week. On December 4, 20th Century Fox fired Singer from the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” for abandoning the London set; on December 6, the studio announced Dexter Fletcher as his replacement. In a statement, Singer ascribed his absence on “Bohemian Rhapsody” to caring for an ailing parent, but Fox also declined to renew its long-term deal with Singer’s production company, while his longtime publicist cut ties a few months ago.

And then, on December 7, Singer hit the news cycle again: In a lawsuit filed by attorney Jeff Herman, Cesar Sanchez-Guzman accused Singer of sexually assaulting him in 2003, when Sanchez-Guzman was 17.
All of this represents a tremendous comedown for Singer, a blockbuster director whose films have made over $1 billion in domestic release alone.

The man who allegedly shot singer Nick Lachey‘s bar employee in the face surrendered himself to Cincinnati police Thursday night, People confirms.
Lavoris Hightower, 36, was indicted by the Cincinnati Police Department for “attempted murder, felonious assault, weapons under disability and tampering with evidence.”
Police released a photo of Hightower on Thursday, saying he was a wanted suspect in the shooting of Ellie Richardson, who was shot on Thanksgiving morning as she was leaving the sports bar.
Hightower’s attorney, Clyde Bennett II, tells People his client “voluntarily surrendered” himself to police after he and his family learned of the indictment.

CBS released a set of storyline teasers for it, and they definitely make us think there will be some major fireworks exploding to send us into the weekend! Today's December 7,2017 episode wasn't particularly exciting. They showed a very weak and confusing subplot that crazy Sheila is trying to stir up. We're not sure what her angle is with telling Thorne about Ridge's affair with Quinn. It's not going to help her get Eric back. The only thing it really does is cause Thorne to get more angry at Ridge which would've happened anyways. The only thing we can think of is that Sheila just wants to cause more drama for the twisted fun of it. Of course, Thorne really has it in for Ridge now, and...

There are a lot of Harry Potter fans who aren't happy that Johnny Depp is still attached to play Gellert Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The reasoning behind this goes back two years when Depp’s ex-wife Amber Heard made domestic violence accusations against the actor. As you know, Hollywood is currently going through a cleansing process of anyone who has been accused of sexual harassment in any form.
Director David Yates made his own statement about Depp and defending the fact that they kept him on board. Now Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling and Warner Bros. are coming to Johnny Depp's defense. They are obviously sticking by their decision to keep the actor in the role.
Here's what Rowling had to say on her website:

It’s been declared “a date which will live in infamy” but President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both made errors when referencing Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day in a pair of tweets on Thursday.
The president’s tweet misquoted then-President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to a Joint Congressional Session following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
“National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day — ‘A day that will live in infamy!’ December 7, 1941,” Trump tweeted.
In fact, Roosevelt famously called Dec. 7 “a date which will live in infamy.”
Meanwhile, the first lady got the month of the attack wrong in her tweet.

Leia Organa’s arc in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was completely unaffected by the death of Carrie Fisher, that much we know, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the Lucasfilm team were able to leave the actress’ final performance as is.
As Rian Johnson revealed in a recent interview with Rolling Stone (with a tip of the hat to Cinema Blend), The Last Jedi sound team were able to flesh out Carrie Fisher’s swan song using Adr (Additional Dialogue Recording) and other ingenious workarounds during post-production.
It’s by no means the first time that Lucasfilm’s editors have worked their magic; for The Force Awakens, those sound designers were able to conjure up the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi using snippets of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness, who sadly passed away back in 2000.

It’s by no means the first time that Lucasfilm’s editors have worked their magic; for The Force Awakens, those sound designers were able to conjure up the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi using snippets of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness, who sadly passed away back in 2000.

“The Love Witch” was beloved by most who saw it last year, with Anna Biller writing, directing, producing, composing, and designing her way to instant cult-classic status. Not everyone was so enamored during production, however. In a series of tweets posted earlier this morning, Biller revealed that most of the film’s crew “hated what we were shooting and did not even see the movie after it was done.”

Wanna participate in a women's pro wrestling match in Abu Dhabi? Better trade out the skimpy spandex for a non-skin-baring costume ... just like Sasha Banks.

People caught up with host Padma Lakshmi and judges Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, and Graham Elliot ahead of Thursday night’s season 15 premiere, where a new crew of cheftestants go head-to-head in Colorado.

It hasn’t been an easy year for either Nick and Aaron Carter, but the brothers have each others’ backs.
After feuding on public forums this summer, the Backstreet Boy reached out to his younger brother on Twitter to wish Aaron — and his twin sister Angel — a happy 30th birthday.
“Happy birthday to my baby brother and sister @angelcarter and @aaroncarter,” Nick, 37, wrote early Thursday.
Aaron responded, “You’re an awesome person bro! I’m always in your corner.”

Twitter was divided on Thursday as people voiced their approval — or disappointment — over Sen. Al Franken’s resignation amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
Much like Franken himself did in his emotional Senate-floor speech, many tweeters pointed out the irony that the Minnesota Democrat was forced to resign over his alleged actions while other politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct — including President Donald Trump and embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore — have not faced consequences. (Trump and Moore have denied the allegations against them.)

One of the biggest shocks in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” was the revelation that Colin Farrell’s Percival Grave was actually the notorious evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald in disguise. Johnny Depp made a surprise appearance in the film as Grindelwald, confirming the actor would be playing the villain in future sequels. The casting decision received backlash since Depp has been accused of domestic violence by ex-wife Amber Heard, and now J.K. Rowling has broken her silence on the role.

Hey, "Bold and The Beautiful" fans. Wow, today's December 6,2017 episode got even more intense with Steffy than we thought it would. We knew she would be stressed out again, but she snapped at Liam like nobody's business! We thought surely he must know she's hiding something at that point. But no. He still thinks it's because he hurt her so much. Here's the thing though. Steffy's latest lie about where she went that night she had an affair with Bill is really going to come back to bite her later this week when Quinn tells Liam a different version of where Steffy was that night. That's right guys. She's going to tell Liam that Steffy was not alone. We're sure that will finally create enough suspicion for Liam to demand to know what Steffy is hiding. At least we sure hope so. As for tomorrow's Thursday, December 7,2017 episode,...
