Read October/November's blind items. I guess I have to go boil myself now. Shit is beyond treacherous and salacious.
Shit, what's annoying is that I didn't even see the Fassbender story of him banging everything that moves on The Snowman set.

Oh, and as far as Rob Schneider being sexually harassed when he was a young actor by a now deceased director -- I could only think of John Hughes from his IMDB list.

For a blast from the past, here's the notorious "A-List." It hasn't been updated since 2004, but some of the entries are quite amusing.
Also check out the entries for Spacey and Seagal, and remember this hasn't been updated in thirteen years.
Trump, Donald. Focus of evil in the modern world. Embodies much that is wrong with America. Short-fingered vulgarian. Linked with TWANS.
Weinstein, Harvey. Hard to work for. (That's it?)
Reagan, Nancy Davis. The eminence grise(ly) in the Reagan White House. Used astrology to determine policy decisions. Slept with Frank Sinatra in the White House itself. Personally pro-choice but kept quiet and supported anti-choice actions for her husband's career. Former "Hostess Girl"/prostitute for the studios when they needed to recruit someone; reported to give the best head in Hollywood, in her day. Was pregnant when she married Ronnie. Used pot at least once. Verbally abused her children. Linked with Milton Berle, Yul Brynner, Clark Gable, Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Spencer Tracy, and Mike Wallace.
Reagan, Ronald. "I have never seen one man more pussy-whipped by his wife in my life." Absent-minded, evil-by-omission man. Betrayed his fellow Hollywood stars to red-baiters. Homophobe and racist. Rapist of Selene Walters during the 1950s. Cheated on his wife in 1968. Symbol and figurehead of almost all that was wrong with the 1980s. Linked with Doris Day, Nancy Davis Reagan, and Jane Wyman.
Romero, Cesar. FOD. Rumored to have held scat parties with Tyrone Power and Monty Wooley. Linked with Desi Arnaz and Tyrone Power.
Rooney, Mickey. Conceited. Born-again Christian. Claims to have sodomized Elizabeth Taylor. Links to Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Norma Shearer, Gene Tierney, and Lana Turner.
Weinstein, Harvey. Hard to work for. (That's it?)

Just hope we don't get news that Michael Shannon, DiCaprio, and Christian Bale had a gang bang with a horse and they are blacklisted.
I hope that SNL monologue where Louis C.K. talked about child predators and how screwing a kid must feel really good since these guys can't stop once they get out of prison was not something that happened in his life.
Nobody cares about him after 1992

Damn Steven Segal has always been a dirty rat.

As for this Allison Mack cult stuff, it was in June’s blind items and that one in particular referred to a previous blind item from five years ago:
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/20...loves.html?m=1
Reading about it 5 months ago is a pretty solid validation of a lot of these blind items but reading about it 5 years ago takes the cake. It really shows you how much of this shit is bubbling just under the surface in Hollywood. The Sheen/Haim stuff has been rumored for years but it seemed like it was on the verge of breaking into the mainstream at least a year ago too.

If anyone wants to read all these blind items that have been cited for years without trolling a dozen sites and the comment articles within, there’s a charmingly-dated website that is basically a blind-item aggregate that posts the common-consensus “answers“ at the bottom of each blind item:
http://www.agcwebpages.com/BLINDITEM.../NOVEMBER.html
It’s literally like a 90s Geocity-grade website but you can go back month-by-month to when it probably looked like a modern website. When I first stumbled across it like 2 or 3 years ago I kept going back further and further until I realized I was reading late-90s blind items and hours had flown by.

Let's be clear, it's not just because it's "Hollywood", it's because it involves the top echelons of wealth and power. You get this shit in every industry where this much money, though mostly power, is involved.

Totally agree, but most of these people are quite good-looking, which makes it extra salacious. Compare that to the equally crazy political sphere, where someone like Paul Ryan is considered attractive. Talk about a low bar.

I wouldn't be surprised if his allegations are true, but I totally agree with his last two paragraphs.

Yeah. It does feel a bit like we’re on shakey grounds. I mean on the one hand you want to believe people who are coming forward but yet at the same time what’s to prevent people who have personal beefs with someone coming forward and making stuff up? It’s a good position to be in for said person as currently it’s a hot button issue but it can easily cause damage to some who maybe doesn’t deserve it.

Also, to Piven saying he’ll take a polygraph, those don’t mean shit.

Yeah, there's been a ton of witness and corroboration on most of these allegations. The major ones are nothing like someone just accusing someone out of thin air.

The strange thing here is why they couldn't make it consensual. I can guarantee that many beautiful women would have consensual sex with Harvey Weinstein.

Well I think there’s clearly something messed up mentally with a lot of these people. It’s not just that they can have anyone that they want but they feel with their power they will have anyone that they want.

Hughes didn’t direct the Home Alone movies, for what it’s worth. Chris Columbus did.

Rob didn't specify -- he just said a famous director. Only one that fits that is Hughes -- Hughes wrote those Home Alone movies, though, and still had some pull in Hollywood (1992). He's also the only director out of Rob's filmography that is dead.

Though it could be suggested, he doesn't specifically say he worked for the director.
