But the booty comment is ok? I found it disgusting.
yeah, not sure why we are supposed to care about what this guy has to say after some of his comments.
I don’t get why is anyone interested in opinion of such a sexist, mysoginistic person as Diplo, after his comments about Swift’s ass? it was low, it was sexist, mysoginistic and the fact that he was Katy Perry’s bf at the time made me see her in the different light.
also, maybe Diplo will have some merit when his work stands up to Swift’s, at least in sales and profit. as it is, he just sounds bitter: I mean, if he knows what people want, why doesn’t he make something much more succesfull than Swift’s work?
Of course Corey did file a report and no one cared. And people still see him as a freak. Eff you Hollywood.
And i have no idea who’s diplo, but dude, wrong time… really. Don’t throw women under the buss now. Give us time to breathe
How is he throwing women under the bus? He’s just saying people are losing interest in uber manufactured pop acts like Swift, and he references Cardi B as a counter-example.
Just saying his fave female artist would be enough. But that wouldn’t make headlines. Cos God forbid there isn’t some kind of rivalry between women.
I can say i like Bjork cos she is original, unique and always ahead of the game. I don’t need to say that i cannot stand Madonna, and can give million reasons why, but why would i?
considering his disgusting and sexist comments about Swift before, I’m reallydisappointed that people are still giving him a pass. it seems that only women we like deserve to be treated equal and without sexism; who cares about women we hate. we’ll never get anywhere with that attitude.
Hard to tell if the police weren’t taking such accusations as Corey was making seriously at the time in general (the cultural bias is especially against reports by boys), if they were unwilling to open that can of worms, or if they saw problems with Corey himself and weren’t sure if he could be believed or if his testimony would hold up in court.
It also doesn’t help that Corey has been so coy about naming names all these years. Just making one report under the circumstances he described (he was being questioned about something else, I wonder if he actually went through the requirements for a separate police report) is not enough. Unless the situation has changed, so far he has named only people who have already been successfully convicted of child molestation. And his holding the names hostage until he gets $10 million is bound to raise doubts, rightly or wrongly.
I can understand his fears about his career and in general, but his career has never really taken off anyway (probably very hard for him to admit, however). If Haim were still alive, it might be easier to sort out. In any case, Corey needed to consult with people who actually had a clue about how to proceed and there is no clear evidence that he did that. Not dissing him for it, he doesn’t seem to have good support and may simply have not known what to do, but it does raise questions that wouldn’t be asked otherwise.
Corey Feldman was abused and neglected within his own family also, and I don’t think he’s recovered from that. He does come across as freaky, and the fact that he’s not so great an actor doesn’t help. He’s an undereducated former child actor who has had the very common problem of finding something else he can do when he’s not good enough for grownup roles. That has to mess them up majorly.
The earlier molestation for both Cories seems the most clearcut to me because of their ages. Haim’s mother seems to know about that but cannot corroborate other things Feldman says about her son’s experiences. But I’ve seen Corey’s descriptions of later situations and he seems to indicate they were sort of consensual – that is, he and Haim were seeking sexual contact (he says Haim was bisexual) for various reasons but they were still rather young (possibly within the age of consent at the time, however) and more importantly they were high as a kite on drugs and alcohol. The consent was only involved in their deliberately getting into the situation for that specific purpose, I don’t think anybody can really consent once they are high. And large age differences are problematic but very common. They both were very sad cases and nobody was even trying to protect them during their childhood and teens.
Elijah Wood has said that he was aware of such risks but his mother protected him – she did not let him attend the adult parties, for example. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were sent off alone and unprotected, which is dereliction of duty by their alleged parents.
Thanks for that summary of the situation. I tried to listen to Corey do a podcast interview a few weeks ago (he wasn’t talking about this stuff) and I just found him un-listenable. He was rambling and sounded stoned.
Whatever has happened to him (and I have no doubt abuse is part of it), he probably isn’t the greatest advocate for his own cause. And, that is one of the saddest things about victims like him…they often go on to have troubled lives and then when they come back as adults to report abuse, they aren’t seen as credible. This has happened over and over again in Australia with victims of institutional child abuse.
Good news is that LAPD is investigating his case as well as Ed Westwick.
And when Corey named one of his abusers, people were side eyeing him for revealing it on Dr. Oz’s show. He is never gonna win, is he?
Just like they are investigating Danny Masterson’s 🙄
Why is Benedict Cumberbatch wearing a white wig?
Should have gone to Specsavers? 🙂
Why are we eye rolling Russell Crowe doing another Western? I loved the 3:10 To Yuma remake and I loved him in it.
Fabulous movie!
He was really good in that remake.
The Selena/Justin thing is so puzzling. Seem kind of fishy, considering how there is this media blackout about Justin and a certain…person. Justin goes hiking with random instagram model is front page news but him practically making out and canoodling with another person is not? Weird.
The younger stars have some of the most engineered, pre-fabricated press of all celebs. Many of them, even the very successful ones, are little more than puppets on a string.
Politicians learned everything they know about manufactured images and alternative facts from Hollywood. They perfected that a long time ago.
Yep. They are far from sugary innocents and are nothing like their images. Even their sexuality is fake.
What person? I’m out of the loop, help!
Any tips what to google to find these pics?
There was a bunch of pictures and a video in a pool that came last month or so. And everybody on Instagram and Twitter was losing their ish. But none of the big outlets picked the story up. It’s like it was scrub from the internet. Google image Justin Bieber and pastor. The pics/video speak for themselves.
Sounds interesting!??!!
I’m worried she’s being hooked into his jesus cult. that pastor is SKETCH
yup.
Justin and his Boyfriend/Pastor and Selena and her flagging popularity drug rumors/Weeknd needed each other but him a lot more than her. This is pure publicity.
I can’t dislike Selena and wish she would stop hanging with the drug shady crowd. I used to watch the Witches of Waverly Place with my younger relatives. Justin just needs to be free to be who he is, and I am sure he would be happier. He even looks better than he has.
I don’t mind Crowe in westerns’. Cos Travis Fimmel is attached to this project! 🙂
ORLY? I was zero interested in that movie, but now may actually watch it.
It makes me sad that two horrible songs like Look What You Made Me Do and Bodak Yellow are fighting for most streams, but Diplo should just shut up. Last I heard of him was when he produced that awful song with Skrillex and Bieber, which was worse than anything Swifty ever spawned.
I listen to both those songs (not rockstar) in my work outs. He may be right about kids I have no idea. I know that my kids like listening to TS songs on YouTube and my daughter (7) makes dances to her stuff (so it’s really repeated) and that I never play bodak yellow in front of them. There is definitely an age limit to bodak yellow for most parents. I can see why less manufactured dirtier stuff is always cooler to older kids. But TS has made a lot of money off kids already, I doubt cardi b will top what TS did with kids money, and I’m disturbed /concerned for the future if so many kids listen to cardi even though I also do. And even though I listened to songs with swear words from grade 7 on. Seems like it was not quite as “bad” though as it is now.
When he says kids I don’t think he’s talking about elementary school aged kids, more like teenagers.
I only know the guy bc I stumbled upon the great TV show : What Would Diplo Do ?
Funny as hell!!
I don’t even know what Bodack Yellow is! Hence, the comment was about what kids want.
Taylor Swift is my guilty pleasure. She annoys me to no end as a person but I’ve listened to her since almost Day 1 and I am not afraid to admit it. Otherwise, I listen to virtually zero Top 40 so I dunno what kids want. My niece who is 14 loves Harry Styles latest album and I admit it’s actually pretty good. Otherwise, I’m clueless.
Went to check out Bodak Yellow. It’s no bigy, just raunchy rap. I guess city and wanna-be street, suburban “kids” (teens) would be into it.
I like his glasses though.
So him, 20 years earlier.
I admit I like Tay Tay’s music even though I don’t like her as a person, at least not the person she seems to be to me. But I do listen to it on the radio. I don’t like it so much, I’d buy it. But It’s catchy and has good beats. Now, my son (age 14) and his friends only stream and it’s not anything pop. It’s rap and hip hop. But not necessarily artists or songs that get played much on the radio. Rap and Hip Hop seems like an odd preference for a bunch of white teens in a small Midwest town but it’s because of sports. Most of their sports heroes are African American. Most of the music played during games, be it football or basketball, is rap or hip hop. They’re also at that age where they’re trying to find themselves and understanding things about life and people that they were too young to see before. They relate to music about emotional confusion and fear. Their hero right now is Logic and I have to say, this 48 year old woman is a fan! Logic has given a name to something a lot of teens feel but never knew what it was, thought it wrong, and that they were the only ones – anxiety. Now they know most everybody has some anxiety and feels alone sometimes especially at their age. Please No, do not think I compare what a normal teen goes through to Logic’s plight. His music is far-reaching and anybody could relate to it at some point in their life.
Diplo is right. All the teens I know stream. They don’t buy music and they don’t even listen to the radio in the car. They use an aux cord and stream.
Did Lainey ever apologize for her “not so blind” item on Gretchen Mol? Why are we showing links to her website? Her wording on that, insinuating that the actress enjoyed the encounter, was really disgusting.
+1
I’ve not gone back there since it came out. I used to go most days.
100% right.
Sigh. Maybe Lainey should stop being blamed for a rumor and blind that has been around years before she put it on her blog. Maybe she isn’t apologizing for excellent reasons.
Lainey repeatedly wrote about that incident and frequently linked the original blind, she is culpable because she continued to spread this rumour and often made hints as to who it involved. She needs to apologize but she wont
Why do my comments never make it? I’m not breaking any of the rules.
And a few months after all the outrage about Weinstein thousands of women will queue to watch and get all frisky over Fifty Shades. the irony.
Fifty shades and sub/dom play is consensual. Big difference.
Lori, the biggest problem people have with Fifty Shades is that it’s not an accurate representation of the BDSM lifestyle. The character of Christian Grey is not a Dominant, he’s a controlling abuser. BDSM is about trust and exploring/pushing boundaries. Fifty Shades is romanticizing an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. That’s the big difference. So yes, it seems a little strange that women would enjoy this effed up Twilight fanfiction so much.
Who is this broken down Clarke Kent wannabe??
My son is 14 and he said he and his friends loathe Bodak Yellow and LWYMMD. That’s my only contribution to this. I do find it funny that a 40 year old man named Diplo is so into this petty middle school drama.
