Posted: 18 Dec 2017 06:35 PM PST

No turning back now...

On Monday, Mark Salling entered a Los Angeles courtroom and officially pled guilty to possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor. Word of his guilty plea was first reported in October.

Under the deal, the Glee star faces four to seven years in prison, and he must register himself as a sex offender. Additionally, upon his release, the actor will be under supervision for 20 years, and he must stay 100 yards away from any schoolyards, parks, public swimming pools, playgrounds, and video arcades.

As we wrote, the 35-year-old reportedly attempted suicide on August 22 by cutting his wrists in his LA bedroom. His lawyer denied the report saying, "Mark is physically fine and Mark is spending his time atoning and working on himself."

He is currently out on bail, and will be sentenced in March.

Ian McKellen Weighs In On Sexual Misconduct Scandals By Saying Actresses Would Offer Sex For Roles In The '60s

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 06:23 PM PST

There's no business like show business... and that's not always a good thing.

Recently, Ian McKellen gave a talk at the Oxford Union in England where he opened up about the sexual misconduct scandals rocking Hollywood.

According to quotes obtained by DailyMail.com, the Lord Of The Rings star remembers a time in the early '60s where, he says, actresses felt the need to sleep with directors in order to bag roles.

He recalls:

"I hope we're going through a period that will help to eradicate it altogether. But from my own experience, when I was starting acting in the early Sixties, the director of the theatre I was working at showed me some photographs he got from women who were wanting jobs... some of them had at the bottom of their photograph 'DRR' — directors' rights respected. In other words, if you give me a job, you can have sex with me... That was commonplace from people who proposed that they should be a victim. Madness. People have taken advantage of that and encouraged it and it absolutely will not do."'

While he believes victims should come forward with their stories, the British thespian also thinks some innocent individuals may be wrongfully accused as well.

"I assume nothing but good will come out of these revelations, even though some people get wrongly accused — there's that side of it as well."

Although McKellen has briefly worked with controversial actor Kevin Spacey when the House Of Cards star was artistic director at the Old Vic, Ian does not agree with how he came out as gay while addressing allegations made by Rent actor Anthony Rapp.

"The circumstances in which he chose to do it are reprehensible because it linked alleged underage sex with a declaration of sexuality."

Gandalf definitely has opinions...

George Zimmerman Is Threatening To 'Beat JAY-Z' Over Trayvon Doc — And Snoop Has Something To Say About It!

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 05:48 PM PST

In case you weren't aware, JAY-Z is making a documentary about the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin called Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story.

We'll give you one guess who's the most unhappy about that...

Yep, the teen's killer, George Zimmerman, raised a stink over the weekend after finding out executive producer Michael Gasparro had visited his family with a production team, hoping to get on-camera interviews.

Apparently he's especially angry that his ex-wife has been offered money for her appearance in the doc while he and his family have not.

And by "angry" we mean he's threatening violence, because, hey, that's pretty much how he deals with problems, right? He told The Blast he would "beat JAY-Z" over the slights, saying:

"I know how to handle people who fuck with me, I have since February 2012."

Wow. He's actually using the infamous killing of an unarmed teen to bolster his threat? He also said:

"Anyone who fucks with my parents will be fed to an alligator"

This stuff almost seems like a legally actionable threat to us. Certainly moreso considering the source...

Well, Snoop Dogg thought it was serious enough to respond on Instagram, writing:

If one hair on jays hair is touched that's when the revolution will b televised We one 👊🏾and to thank the system let the Bitch ass muthafucca get away with murder try it again 🙏🏾Trayvon Martin Gone but not forgottenA post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg) on Dec 17, 2017 at 10:17am PST

Are YOU worried for JAY-Z's safety?

Someone Has Been Pretending To Be Kylie Jenner — And She ALREADY Got Her Revenge!

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 04:43 PM PST

Do not mess with Kylie Jenner!

The KUWTK star found out someone got her old phone number and was using it to impersonate her. So she made it impossible to keep that scam going.

How? She tweeted out the number to her 23 million Twitter followers! She wrote:

"the person who has my old number is pretending to be me... so anyone who had my ********** beware. Feel free to give it a call."

We censored the number btw. King Kylie straight SHARED THAT SHIT.

The tweet has since been deleted, likely because it's against Twitter rules to post other people's private information. But we're guessing the damage was done in short order.

Would YOU stan for Kylie by calling her impersonator??

VOTE: Are Matt Damon's Latest Sexual Harassment Comments Just Making Things Worse??

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 04:02 PM PST

Oof.

Matt Damon has already been dragged for his comments on about the #MeToo movement by Alyssa Milano and his ex Minnie Driver.

Related: Here's Alyssa's Open Letter

Now he's saying more, and no, it isn't trying to clarify his previous words.

Speaking to Business Insider, the actor defended the many men in Hollywood who aren't scumbags, saying:

"We're in this watershed moment, and it's great, but I think one thing that's not being talked about is there are a whole shitload of guys — the preponderance of men I've worked with — who don't do this kind of thing and whose lives aren't going to be affected."

Um, is he really saying we should be talking about the men who aren't sexually harassing? Giving them credit?

Or is he just trying to say that no, Hollywood isn't the cesspool it's being called by a great many at the moment (and failing miserably at saying it)??

He then said:

"If I have to sign a sexual-harassment thing, I don't care, I'll sign it. I would have signed it before. I don't do that, and most of the people I know don't do that."

We're not actually sure what that's in reference to. If he's talking about a contract saying he won't sexually harass, isn't that just standard in an employment contract or something?

We mean, there's a reason the Weinsteins and others are getting sued like crazy right now.

Anyway, we were curious what YOU thought of Damon's comments, Perezcious readers! Tell us:

Meryl Streep Hits Back At Rose McGowan's Harvey Weinstein Tweet!

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 03:33 PM PST

Even Meryl Streep knows how to clap back in style!

As we reported over the weekend, Rose McGowan SLAMMED The Post star on Twitter for, in her opinion, being a hypocrite regarding her professional relationship with Harvey Weinstein.

Related: Rose McGowan Goes After 'Fake' Alyssa Milano!

In a since-deleted tweet, the Charmed actress -- who has publicly accused the mogul of rape -- says Streep "happily" worked for Weinstein and stayed "silent" about his alleged abuses for years. Rose wrote:

"Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @goldenglobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You'll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real chance. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa."

On Monday, the 68-year-old released a statement to HuffPost via publicist Leslee Dart where she says she truly "did not know about Weinstein's crimes," and that McGowan "assumed and broadcast something untrue about me."

As we wrote in October, the Oscar winner said she "didn't know about [Weinstein's] offenses" in a previous comment to HuffPost.

Read her full statement (below):

"It hurt to be attacked by Rose McGowan in banner headlines this weekend, but I want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein's crimes, not in the 90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others.

I wasn't deliberately silent. I didn't know. I don't tacitly approve of rape. I didn't know. I don't like young women being assaulted. I didn't know this was happening.

I don't know where Harvey lives, nor has he ever been to my home.

I have never in my life been invited to his hotel room.

I have been to his office once, for a meeting with Wes Craven for "Music of the Heart" in 1998.

HW distributed movies I made with other people.

HW was not a filmmaker; he was often a producer, primarily a marketer of films made by other people- some of them great, some not great. But not every actor, actress, and director who made films that HW distributed knew he abused women, or that he raped Rose in the 90s, other women before and others after, until they told us. We did not know that women's silence was purchased by him and his enablers.

HW needed us not to know this, because our association with him bought him credibility, an ability to lure young, aspiring women into circumstances where they would be hurt.

He needed me much more than I needed him and he made sure I didn't know. Apparently he hired ex Mossad operators to protect this information from becoming public. Rose and the scores of other victims of these powerful, moneyed, ruthless men face an adversary for whom Winning, at any and all costs, is the only acceptable outcome. That's why a legal defense fund for victims is currently being assembled to which hundreds of good hearted people in our business will contribute, to bring down the bastards, and help victims fight this scourge within.

Rose assumed and broadcast something untrue about me, and I wanted to let her know the truth. Through friends who know her, I got my home phone number to her the minute I read the headlines. I sat by that phone all day yesterday and this morning, hoping to express both my deep respect for her and others' bravery in exposing the monsters among us, and my sympathy for the untold, ongoing pain she suffers. No one can bring back what entitled bosses like Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes, and HW took from the women who endured attacks on their bodies and their ability to make a living.. And I hoped that she would give me a hearing. She did not, but I hope she reads this.

I am truly sorry she sees me as an adversary, because we are both, together with all the women in our business, standing in defiance of the same implacable foe: a status quo that wants so badly to return to the bad old days, the old ways where women were used, abused and refused entry into the decision-making, top levels of the industry. That's where the cover-ups convene. Those rooms must be disinfected, and integrated, before anything even begins to change."

NBA Star Lorenzen Wright’s Ex-Wife Arrested & Charged For His Murder SEVEN Years Later!

Posted: 18 Dec 2017 03:14 PM PST

Seven years after Lorenzen Wright's death, his ex-wife Sherra Wright has been arrested in connection with his murder!

For those who don't remember, the former Cleveland Cavaliers player was found dead in a field on July 28, 2010, 10 days after being reported missing in a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee. The then 34-year-old NBA star suffered at least five shots to his body.

Only last month did authorities locate the murder weapon near a lake!

Earlier in December, they made their first arrest with Billy Turner, who is said to have previously worked with Sherra at a local church. He has been indicted on first-degree murder charges, and pleaded not guilty.

And on Friday, authorities also arrested the late basketball player's former wife, taking her into custody for first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and attempted first-degree murder.

Sherra, who divorced Lorenzen in 2009, will be due in court this week, but is currently being held in the Riverside County, California, Jail until she can be extradited. She appeared in court on Monday morning in a wheelchair, and her hearing will be delayed until she can get a medical evaluation.

Crazy!!
