‘God’s Not Dead’ Actor Alleges Designer Gianni Versace Sexually Harassed Him

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Paul Bond. The actor, most famous for playing Hercules, claims the late Italian designer made an unwanted sexual advance while he was working as a model.

Actor Kevin Sorbo alleges that he was sexually harassed by the late Italian fashion magnate Gianni Versace when he was working as a model decades ago . . .

Sorbo said that in 1984, prior to his stint as the lead on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, which ran for six seasons in the late 1990s, Versace approached him in Italy, where he was modeling: “He wanted to meet me because of my height. At 6-foot, 3-inches, he wanted me to do fashion shows with these 6-foot tall women.”

Sorbo says he was invited to a dinner party where he met Sophia Loren, opera star Luciano Pavarotti, Richard Gere and others. He was invited for several more dinner parties, each one with fewer attendees, until one time it was him and Versace alone, where he told Sorbo he wanted him in commercials advertising his fashion brand.

“All of a sudden, his hand goes up my leg,” says Sorbo. “Dude, you know I’m straight?” he told Versace. (Read more from “Hercules Actor Alleges Designer Gianni Versace Sexually Harassed Him” HERE)

Five Women Accuse Journalist and ‘Game Change’ Co-Author Mark Halperin of Sexual Harassment

By Oliver Darcy. Veteran journalist Mark Halperin sexually harassed women while he was in a powerful position at ABC News, according to five women who shared their previously undisclosed accounts with CNN and others who did not experience the alleged harassment personally, but were aware of it.

“During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me,” Halperin said in a statement to CNN Wednesday night. “I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I’m going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation.”

Widely considered to be one of the preeminent political journalists, Halperin, 52, has, among other career highlights, been political director at ABC News; co-authored the bestselling book “Game Change,” which was made into an HBO movie starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin; and anchored a television show on Bloomberg TV. He currently serves as an analyst for NBC News, making frequent appearances on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” and is featured in Showtime’s “The Circus,” a show that chronicled the 2016 campaign cycle and the early days of the Trump presidency, and has a project in development with HBO, which, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner.

Iconic Musician Rejects Homosexuality

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iconic musician Little Richard is renouncing his past life of sexual immorality, saying he believes same-sex relationships are “unnatural affections.”

In previous interviews, the famous singer referred to himself as “omnisexual,” revealing in an interview with GQ five years ago that he lived a life of perversion, including orgies.

But in an extensive interview with Three Angels Broadcasting Network, an Illinois-based Christian and health-oriented television and radio network, Little Richard says he has repented and turned to Jesus Christ for salvation.

“When I first came in show business they wanted you to look like everybody but yourself,” he recalled.

“And, anybody that comes in show business they gonna say you gay or straight,” he said. “God made men, men and women, women. You’ve got to live the way God wants you to live…he can save you,” the 84-year-old singer told the Christian broadcaster. (Read more from “Iconic Musician Rejects Homosexuality” HERE)

Investigative Journalist Who Exposed Elite Pedophile Ring, Found Dead

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Liz MacKean, the former British investigative reporter who exposed Jimmy Savile and the culture of pedophile protection at the BBC, has been found dead. She was 52.

The BBC, who blocked her groundbreaking investigation from airing and spent the next few years attempting to destroy her reputation, are reporting that she died of “complications from a stroke.”

Acknowledging her life was under threat during the time she was investigating Savile and BBC elites, MacKean said her conscience left her no option but to pursue the truth and expose the culture of pedophila. The mother of two children believed it was her duty.

When it became public that BBC News blocked her investigation from airing, she admitted on Panorama: “I was very unhappy the story didn’t run because I felt we’d spoken to people who collectively deserved to be heard. And they weren’t heard.

“I thought that that was a failure… I felt we had a responsibility towards them. We got them to talk to us, but above all, we did believe them. And so then, for their stories not to be heard, I felt very bad about that. I felt, very much, that I’d let them down.” (Read more from “Investigative Journalist Who Exposed Elite Pedophile Ring, Found Dead” HERE)

Michael Moore’s Anti-Trump Broadway Show Fails

/0 Comments/in , /by

Michael Moore’s politically-charged Broadway show failed to bring in the big bucks at the box office.

Moore’s “The Terms of My Surrender” brought in $4.2 million during its 13-week run, according to BroadwayWorld.com, but the site reports that’s less than half of what the play had the potential to make.

The show closed this last weekend.

The liberal documentary maker’s play focused on Moore’s life and criticism of President Trump.

In comparison, “The Glass Menagerie,” the play that ran at the same theater before Moore’s show, brought in $5.4 million with 85 performances. Moore’s show had a total of 83 performances. (Read more from “Michael Moore’s Anti-Trump Broadway Show Fails” HERE)

Students Branded ‘Hate-Group’ for Traditional Marriage Stance

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Catholic student group at Georgetown University could be stripped of its funding for its belief in traditional marriage.

Love Saxa, a group that advocates for marriage between a man and a woman, is under fire from LGBTQ groups on campus, PRIDE and Queer People of Color, according to The Hoya, Georgetown’s student publication. A pro-choice student senator filed a notice on September 25, arguing Love Saxa’s definition of marriage and relationships violates university standards by fostering hatred or intolerance.

The notice, which would identify Love Saxa as a hate group, could strip Love Saxa of its funding and bar it from using campus facilities. The group receives $250 a year from the Georgetown, which is the country’s oldest Catholic university.

Love Saxa petiioned for a delay because it was not given enough time to defend itself and had not seen the notice, according to the Catholic News Agency. A hearing, originally set for Monday, is now scheduled for Oct. 30.

The controversy began last month, when the president of Love Saxa, Amelia Irvine, published an op-ed titled “Confessions of a College Virgin” in The Hoya, talking about abstinence before marriage and the group’s definition of marriage.

Boy’s $3 Donation to Trump Gets Him Surprise Gift

/0 Comments/in , /by

A boy in Tennessee received an unexpected surprise after a stranger learned of his donation to President Trump.

Shortly after Inauguration Day, Eli’sha Davies, 9, learned that the president was taking a big salary cut in his new job. So he decided to send him $3 to help him pay his bills, WGRZ reported . . .

But Davies’ mother told reporters that the money was actually meant to go towards a new mandolin the boy had been saving for, WGRZ reported. But he was having trouble because he kept finding people he thought needed the money more than he did, like the president.

The Young Musicians Education Foundation Inc. is a local charity that helps kids get access to instruments who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford them, WGRZ reported.

When John Wildeman, the president of the Foundation, heard about Davies’ story, he decided that he wanted to help out, so he gifted him the mandolin he wanted. (Read more from “Boy’s $3 Donation to Trump Gets Him Surprise Gift” HERE)

Conjoined Twins ‘Fantastic’ After Separation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Like any new parents, Heather and Riley Delaney are excited to see their babies hitting developmental milestones.

But for 15-month-old twins Abby and Erin, who were fused at the tops of their heads until June, even the tiniest hints of progress win tears and applause.

“Look at Abby holding her head up!” occupational therapist Ashley Binkowski said recently as she helped the baby sit on a mat at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “That takes abdominal control on this soft surface.” . . .

Heather, who has not been home to Mooresville, N.C., since she was 26 weeks pregnant, is keenly aware that the road ahead may be tough, especially for Abby, who lost part of a vital cranial blood vessel she once shared with her sister. But if the hurdles are high, so are the hopes.

“Babies have brain plasticity, which means their brains can overcome a lot,” Heather said. “The doctors have a lot of hope for what the girls can do. But we won’t really know what kind of deficits they have until they’re about 3. For now, they’re doing fantastic.” (Read more from “Conjoined Twins ‘Fantastic’ After Separation” HERE)

Court Delays Abortion for Illegal Alien Teen

/0 Comments/in , /by

A D.C. appeals court decided Friday that an illegal-alien teen cannot be denied an abortion but ordered the federal government to find her a private sponsor to ensure the government doesn’t facilitate the procedure.

The court gave the government until Oct. 31 to find a sponsor for the 17-year-old, referred to in court as Jane Doe. The teen was detained in Texas Sept. 7 after crossing the border and has been in custody of a Department of Health and Human Services-funded shelter in the state.

The government’s appeal was in response to an order Wednesday by a lower-court judge to carry out the procedure by Saturday.

While minors who reside in Texas are required to obtain parental consent to get abortions in the state of Texas, District Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed the illegal-alien teen had a “constitutional right” to the procedure.

​Federal officials had refused to allow Doe, who is currently 15 weeks pregnant, to leave the detention center and go to a clinic. (Read more from “Court Delays Abortion for Illegal Alien Teen” HERE)

There ‘Will Be Blood’ on Netflix Hands Over El Chapo Documentary, According to Actor

/0 Comments/in , /by

By John Koblin. Sean Penn and Netflix are fighting over a documentary series that will become available early Friday, with a lawyer for Mr. Penn saying in a letter to the streaming service that it is “hereby on notice that blood will be on their hands if this film causes bodily harm.”

The series in question, “The Day I Met El Chapo: The Kate del Castillo Story,” centers on the bizarre episode in October 2015 when Ms. del Castillo, a Mexican actress, and Mr. Penn were given an audience with one of the world’s most wanted men, the drug dealer Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as El Chapo.

Mr. Penn later wrote about the meeting in an article for Rolling Stone that was published just a day after Mr. Guzmán was captured by authorities.

In a letter sent last week, Mr. Penn’s lawyer, Theodore J. Boutrous Jr., warned Netflix that the series would put his client in danger and demanded that the company make changes to the content of the documentary. Mr. Penn did not participate in “The Day I Met El Chapo,” and it largely revolves around Ms. del Castillo’s account. The documentary has not been changed.
