Yesterday, former Star Trek actor George Takei was accused of sexual assault, for something that allegedly happened in 1981. The details described are pretty bizarre, but Takei has denied the incident completely – in a set of recent tweets: Friends, I’m writing to respond to the accusations made by Scott R. Bruton. I want to assure you all that I am as shocked and bewildered at these claims as you must feel reading them. /1 — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) November 11, 2017 The events he describes back in the 1980s simply did not occur, and I do not know why…

In what is turning out to be an absolute disastrous week/month for Hollywood, yet another popular star has been accused of sexual assault. This time, it’s former Star Trek actor George Takei. In a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, former model/actor Scott R. Brunton accused Takei of assault: “This happened a long time ago, but I have never forgotten it,” said. “It is one of those stories you tell with a group of people when people are recounting bizarre instances in their lives, this always comes up. I have been telling it for years, but I am suddenly very nervous…

Actress Ellen Page is a very popular actress and is known by many Marvel fans as Shadowcat, a character that has appeared in numerous Marvel movies including 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, directed by Brett Ratner. What many didn’t know, however, is what happened to Page on the set of that movie. In a new Facebook post from the actress, she went into great detail about how Ratner mistreated her while working on the film: “‘You should f*** her to make her realize she’s gay.’ He said this about me during a cast and crew ‘meet and greet’ before we…

The first reactions for Justice League are out, and while they’re not as positive as they were for Wonder Woman, they’re certainly better than they were for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, which were critically hammered. That didn’t stop fans from seeing the films, however, as they were box office hits. While these shouldn’t be mistaken as the first reviews, they’re a glimpse into what those reviews are going to most likely end up saying: Justice League is better than expected, but not a home run. The interaction between the team is a lot of fun.…

Disney announced plans to start their own streaming service in 2019, a move that was called greedy by some, but will ultimately be happening no matter what we think. They said they’d also be removing Star Wars and Marvel films as well. It’s not exactly a surprise, considering they own almost everything else at this point. From a business standpoint, why not try to compete with Netflix? The only problem here, though, could be Marvel’s original shows that are currently on Netflix. A new report from WSJ says that that Disney’s plans to buy FOX are from motivation to compete…

The executives at Disney must have really enjoyed Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as Lucasfilm just announced that a new Star Wars trilogy is coming from director Rian Johnson, in a move that will most definitely excite fans of the franchise. President of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy had the following to say about the news: Kennedy: We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi. He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.” “We had…

Gun violence has been a popular conversation for some time now. Most recently, Stephen Paddock, the shooter behind the Las Vegas massacre, was a hot topic. It was a topic that also gave Marvel’s The Punisher some trouble. While initially scheduled to have a panel at this year’s New York Comic Con, Marvel pulled the show out of the event entirely, saying that it would essentially be tasteless in light of the mentioned shooting. One even said the show should never air, and said that the character was basically Marvel’s mass shooter equivalent. Though the show was reportedly delayed, it’s…

In yet another shocking bombshell Hollywood report, five women have come forward and accused Louis C.K. of sexual misconduct, claiming the actor masturbated in front of them – among other things. The women, including comedians Dana Min Goodman, Abby Scachner, Julia Wolov, Rebecca Corry have alleged that Louis C.K. either pleasured himself in front of them, or asked to do it (or did it) over the phone. The New York Times piece that was just released gives a lot of detail: Ms. Corry, a comedian, writer and actress, has long felt haunted by her run-in with Louis C.K. In 2005,…

In what will most likely be (you never know these days) the most bizarre and unexpected story you’ll read today, former Smallville actress Allison Mack, who fans may remember as Chloe Sullivan, is currently under investigation for being a high-level recruiter for a very sinister sounding sex cult.  Yes, you read that correctly. The group which calls themselves DOS, is reportedly a secret society for the highest ranking female members within the self-help group NXIVM, which apparently to outsiders, is just seen as a normal self-improvement group that offers classes to teach people how to live a successful and fulfilling life. Ex-members…
