Kelly Cutrone Says Russell Simmons Tried To Rape Her As The Mogul Continues To Deny Allegations With Polygraph Tests!

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 06:24 PM PST

Another woman comes forward...

In a Page Six report published on Thursday, America's Next Top Model star Kelly Cutrone says Russell Simmons tried to rape her in 1991.

According to The Hills alum, when she was 26, she bumped into the Def Jam co-founder at a party where he invited her to his apartment. Although she declined, she agreed to go with the mogul to his friend's place.

However, the People's Revolution founder believes Simmons actually took her back to his apartment, where the alleged assault occurred.

Cutrone recalls:

"He pushed me into his apartment and then he threw me down on the floor and literally tried to grab… take my clothes off of me... And I started kicking him really, really hard, screaming, telling him to get the fuck off of me. And that I would have him killed if he ever fucking laid a hand on me... I actually think I told him I would call Page Six! I was a publicist! I think I told him I would call Page Six and have him murdered."

After the alleged attack, the publicist immediately left the residence.

"[Simmons] was just really shaken up and I fucking split. I remember running out the door and getting a cab and all I remember was that I got in a cab and I remember a feeling — which was so crazy — of, 'Oh my god. Somebody just tried to rape me. What do I do?' And then the energy of going to the police and pressing charges against him was overwhelming to me... Then what would happen afterward — and this would happen years afterward — I'd be at a table and Russell fucking Simmons would come up to the table and then people would be like, 'Kelly, do you know Russell?,' and I'd be like, 'Yes, I know Russell — he tried to rape me.'"

While Simmons has yet to directly address Cutrone's claims, he has responded to the numerous accusations against him by saying:

"I vehemently deny all these allegations. These horrific accusations have shocked me to my core and all of my relations have been consensual."

In addition to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times reports published on Wednesday, at least 12 women have publicly accused the music exec of sexual misconduct, with some claiming rape.

Unfortunately for Simmons, the police are now officially involved.

According to the LA Times, an unidentified NYPD spokesperson says authorities have opened an investigation against Simmons, and are in the initial stages of contacting alleged victims. At least seven accounts allegedly happened in New York.

One of the women -- Sherri Hines -- says she was contacted by officials early Thursday. In the aforementioned LA Times piece, Hines says the author raped her in his office in 1983.

Simmons' attorney, Brad Rose, says his client "fully supports and will cooperate with the police inquiry and is confident of a swift resolution."

Despite the overwhelming amount of claims against him, Russell is doing everything in his power to clear his name.

According to an image obtained by TMZ, on Wednesday, Kimora Lee Simmons' ex reportedly passed a lie detector test where, his team says, the results allegedly prove he did not assault accuser Keri Claussen Khalighi.

In 1991, Khalighi says Simmons forced her to perform oral sex on him while director Brett Ratner sat and watched.

Simmons' other attorneys, Michael Sterling and E. Carlos Tanner, say their client will continue to take polygraph tests to discredit claims made by four other women.

In case you missed it, prior to the polygraph news, Russell teased on Instagram early Thursday that he will "properly defend [himself]" against Khalighi's claims.

He says on Friday, he will focus on "the case of [another alleged victim] Jenny Lumet," who made her accusations in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter.

Sorry, Shaq! This Meteorologist Destroys The Flat Earth Theory In Under 5 Minutes! FLAT!

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 05:51 PM PST

Why do people believe ridiculous things, like the crazy conspiracy theory that the earth is flat??

It's a special blend of intellectual laziness and pride, the same one that causes people to willfully ignore experts and blindly support politicians who don't have their best interest at heart. Or, y'know, molest children.

But meteorologist Keith Carson has broken down how WRONG the Flat Earth Theory is in such a simple, quick video that even the biggest Shaq or B.o.B. fans will have to admit they're being silly.

Ch-ch-check it out (above) and PLEASE share with your gullible friends -- especially if you happen to be friends with any of these celebrities...

The Simpsons Predicted Disney Would Buy Fox 19 Years Ago!

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 05:13 PM PST

OK, how does The Simpsons do this?

First, they accurately predicted Donald Trump becoming president 16 years early.

Now, it turns out they were even EARLIER on Disney buy 20th Century Fox. That pic (above) is from an episode that aired on November 8, 1998!

We know they share some writers with Futurama, but that is some crazy prescience!

We guess Family Guy and The Simpsons DO have a lot in common...

Sophie Turner Teases Lots Of 'Crying And Laughing' At Game Of Thrones Finale Table Read!

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 04:39 PM PST

How will the Game Of Thrones finale affect fans?

If it's anything like how it affected the cast, it's going to be one hell of a tearjerker.

Sophie Turner gave us our first glimpse into that "bittersweet" ending by describing the table read for the cast, telling Entertainment Weekly:

"We closed the blinds and shut ourselves off from the rest of the world and had six hours in this room just reading it through and crying and laughing. We had our emotional bit and then we thought, 'Well now we've got eight months. We've still got a while to get through!'"

How emotional? She told The Hollywood Reporter:

"It was hard. At the end of the very last script, they read aloud, 'End of Game of Thrones.' As soon as they read that out, pretty much everyone burst into tears. There was a standing ovation for [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss]. We were all clapping and cheering. It was amazing."

So... how is this not a spoiler? Knowing that Sansa makes it through? She actually still might not. She revealed:

"It was the first time every single cast member had been there and sat through all of the scripts for season eight — obviously not cast members who had died in the earlier seasons..."

Ah! Clever. That way during press time, no one has to say, "Oh I wasn't there for the last one," giving everything away.

Are YOU nervous for the finale??

Model Accuses Terry Richardson Of Rape During Raunchy Photoshoot

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 03:55 PM PST

Every model's nightmare...

In a report published by the New York Daily News on Thursday, model Caron Bernstein is accusing infamous photographer Terry Richardson of rape during a 2003 photoshoot in New York.

After being introduced through a mutual friend, Bernstein -- who appeared in the pages of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar -- was reportedly told she was doing a shoot for a fragrance called "Sex" for an editorial layout in V Magazine.

Initially thinking "it was going to be a test shoot," the now-47-year-old was handed a pair of white panties, and was disallowed from powdering herself.

As production staff began leaving the room, Richardson allegedly shot photos, positioned her in a chair, took more photos, exposed his penis, forced himself into her mouth, ejaculated on her chest, and continued to shoot more photos.

Bernstein recalls:

"It was like literally being shot with a stun gun. My brain just went on pause... I wasn't doing anything. I wasn't performing as a model... I was like a deer in the headlights... I wasn't drugged, I wasn't handcuffed. Thank God that never happened. But in a weird way, that would have made it easier to forgive myself for not fighting him off."

Although she agreed to pose topless, she would "never walk in somewhere and agree to a sex act with a stranger. I've never done that in my entire life. Never in a million years."

After the alleged incident, Caron grabbed her belongings, ran down the staircase crying, and went to a friend's nearby boutique.

Richardson's lawyer Brad D. Rose says his client did nothing wrong as the encounter was "consensual."

"Ms. Bernstein knowingly and willingly posed for these photographs and at all times prior to and during the shoot, any contact she had with Mr. Richardson was consensual."

He adds:

"Caron Bernstein agreed to shoot sexually explicit photographs with Mr. Richardson, which had no connection to an editorial or advertising campaign for a fragrance product."

V Magazine says they have no recollection of assigning a 2003 editorial feature to Richardson.

As we reported in October, Condé Nast International cut ties with the artist because of the many sexual assault claims against him.

Matt Lauer's Alleged Secret Affair With Today Production Assistant Exposed! Read Her Story Here!

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 02:49 PM PST

Don't think a powerful man having a consensual affair with a colleague is a big deal? Maybe to Matt Lauer it's not -- but one of the many women he reportedly manipulated thinks differently.

Addie Zinone worked as a production assistant on NBC's Today back in 1999, where she expected to work toward her dream job of being an on-air journalist like Katie Couric.

What she got instead was a string of confusing workplace hookups with the accused daytime philanderer that went on to negatively impact her career, as well as her mental health.

Recounting the tryst to Variety, Zinone said she forged strong bonds with Couric, Ann Curry, and Al Roker during her months running the news on Today, but remembers Lauer keeping more of a professional distance -- until she accepted a job in West Virginia.

One morning on June 8, the then-24-year-old received a message from Lauer on the company's instant messaging system out of the blue. She says he wrote:

"Hey. i hope you won't drag me to personnel for saying this. but you look fantastic. i don't know what you have done, or what is going on in your life…but it's agreeing with you."

Zinone thanked the newly married 40-something man and told him about her new position as a local anchor on WDTV Channel 5. The two agreed to set up a day for lunch, where Zinone understood Lauer would give her career advice.

But before they went out, Lauer stepped up his flirting game. One day when Zinone was wearing a skirt and heels, Lauer messaged her saying:

"OK…NOW YOU'RE KILLING ME…YOU LOOK GREAT TODAY! A BIT TOUGH TO CONCENTRATE."

Zinone realized he was flirting, but still went to lunch with purely professional intentions. Though she didn't get the constructive advice she was looking for, apparently -- only confusing compliments and overwhelming flattery. At the end of the lunch, Lauer suggested they leave separately, something she'd never experienced before while dining with a Today colleague.

Zinone remembers being unable to concentrate once she got back to her desk. After sending Lauer a message, he is said to have replied "meet me" right away. Lauer reportedly ignored Zinone's reminder that he had a wife and suggested the two meet in the studio dressing room. She agreed, and says the two had a consensual encounter.

The two allegedly met several times over the next few weeks, and each encounter took its toll on the young woman. Zinone recalled just wanting to be professionally encouraged by the industry vet, but only received fleeting physical pleasure.

After their last encounter in a bathroom at the 2000 Democratic National Convention in California, Zinone started her job anchoring the local news in her hometown. Just a few weeks into her new job, she recalled being approached by a reporter from the National Enquirer asking her about her relationship with Lauer. She told the reporter they were just friends, and later emailed Lauer about it -- she says he responded by completely ghosting her.

Over the next decade, Zinone enlisted in the army and landed a job at Access Hollywood, but her history with Lauer went on to impact her career trajectory and her confidence. Even standing beside the other accusers, Zinone says, sharing her story is still terrifying for the mother of two.

Zinone made it clear that she's not trying to get anything out of this situation "other than be another voice in this important conversation about women in the workplace." What was a sexual conquest for Lauer turned out to be years of pain for the woman he took advantage of.

Now facing her fears, Zinone wants to do everything she can to ensure this doesn't happen to the next generation of women -- especially her 7-year-old daughter.

RHOBH Star Camille Grammer Reveals SECOND Cancer Diagnosis

Posted: 14 Dec 2017 02:33 PM PST

This truly puts life in perspective...

On Thursday, Camille Grammer announced on Instagram she has been diagnosed with skin cancer -- squamous cell carcinoma, the second most common form -- and underwent surgery to remove the growth.

Sadly, this is her second bout with the disease. Four years ago, in 2013, she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

According to Page Six, a rep for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star said:

"Camille didn't feel 'right'... She went to her oncologist immediately and had a procedure to remove a small malignancy. She urges everyone to run, not walk to their doctors if they suspect there's an issue, and to learn more, she suggests that people visit FoundationforWomensCancer.org to learn more and find a great doctor in their area."'

In her social media post, Kelsey Grammer's ex gives thanks to her doctor "for removing those pesky cancer cells." She wrote:

Thank you Dr. Beth karlan for removing those pesky cancer cells. You are Amazing! This is my second cancer diagnoses. Thank God We found it early. (squamous cell carcinoma) *Early detection is key. My cancer was removed and I'm resting at home. Ladies listen to your bodies. If something doesn't seem right go for a checkup. Don't put it off. Annual check ups are important. @cedarssinai @foundationforwomenscancer #cancerwarrior #cancer #cancerawernessA post shared by Camille Grammer (@therealcamille) on Dec 14, 2017 at 12:10am PST

According to People in 2013, after her endometrial cancer diagnosis, Grammer underwent a radical hysterectomy. In early 2015, she announced on Twitter she's been cancer-free for one year.

In late October of this year, the reality TV personality announced her engagement to lawyer David C. Meyer.
