Sliver is a movie most of us probably haven’t thought about since we last saw it in the dollar bin. But here we are more than 30 years later discussing Sharon Stone, William Baldwin and their steamy sex scene…As it turns out, there is a pretty awful backstory to it, with Stone recently naming producer Robert Evans as the one who tried to coax her into having actual sex with Baldwin in order to improve his performance. And we all saw how that turned out…Now, Baldwin is attacking Stone, saying she must still have the hots for him if she’s digging up old dirt.
Taking to X following Stone’s Sliver revelation, Baldwin wrote, “Not sure why Sharon Stone keep talking about me all these years later? Does she still have a crush on me or is she still hurt after all these years because I shunned her advances?...

In 1993, Billy Baldwin and Sharon Stone co-starred in the erotic thriller Sliver, which is renowned for its powerful and thought-provoking plot. Their performances and on-screen chemistry added to the film’s appeal and popularity.
However, Stone has caused quite a stir since she recently alleged that she felt compelled to have s*x with Baldwin in order to improve his performance. After reading the comments, the latter went on a lengthy rant on X about his memories of working with Stone, confusing both supporters and critics.
Baldwin refuted Stone’s accusations in a number of ways, citing his own experiences working on the 1993 flick. He said that he asked the producer, Robert Evans, to choreograph a “final s*x scene” so he would not have to kiss his Sliver co-star.

More than 30 years after starring together in silver screen flop Sliver, Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin are recalling unhappy memories about making the movie.
In an appearance on The Louis Theroux Podcast, Stone named former Paramount Pictures chief Robert Evans as the producer who pressured her to have sex with Baldwin to improve his performance. Evans died in 2019.
Stone told the story in her 2021 memoir, but declined to name those involved. That changed this week, as she recalled her time on Sliver in her interview with Theroux.
“[Evans is] running around his office in sunglasses explaining that he slept with Ava Gardner and I should sleep with Billy Baldwin, because [then] his performance would get better,” Stone said.
“If I could sleep with Billy, then we’d have chemistry on screen and save the movie. The real problem was me because I was so uptight, and not like a real actress who could...

Just like multiple other relationships in the entertainment industry, one of Hollywood’s power couples Jennifer Flavin and Sylvester Stallone too faced quite some ups and downs and breakups and reconciliations throughout the time that they have been together.
For one that has pretty much been on and off for more than three and a half decades, this pair has been one of the strongest ones in all of Hollywood, if not the whole world.
Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin in The Family Stallone
This fact stands true even after Stallone reportedly cheated on his then-girlfriend Flavin by reportedly having an affair with Janice Dickinson in 1994, all the while ending things with Flavin.
While it is indeed unbelievable how the couple managed to get back together despite such infidelity, the real reason behind sharing such a strong relationship that the pair somehow find their way back to the other is...

William Morris Endeavor want nothing to do with Billy Cosby or a sexual assault case against the much-accused comedian.
In paperwork filed in LA Superior Court yesterday, WME asserted that they should not be a co-defendant in Linda Ridgway-Whitedeer’s claims that the man once known as “America’s Dad” forced her to perform oral sex on him back in 1971.
Having first went public with the alleged assault in 2015 as dozens of women came forward against Cosby, the plaintiff’s civil suit of September this year says that “at the time of the sexual assault, the William Morris Agency knew, or should have had knowledge of Defendant’s repeated acts of sexual assault.”
Now, the agency that Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell created out of the 2009 melding of William Morris and Endeavor proclaims they had “no control” over what did or did not happen 52 years ago.
“Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure …WME denies,...

There was no fooling Jenny McCarthy.
It wasn’t too long after the Hibiscus sang “It’s Raining Men” did the judge on Wednesday’s installment of The Masked Singer correctly identify who was wearing those oversized petals. While the others guessed Ted Lasso‘s Hannah Waddingham (get real!) and Janice Dickinson (as if!), McCarthy seemed to know almost instantly, thanks in large part to the folks she befriended while living in The Big Apple.
Here, the Hibiscus — best known as the Countess Luann De Lesseps from the original cast of The Real Housewives of NYC — talks about failing to outwit McCarthy and what she hoped her song would do for her (non-existent) love life.

“The Masked Singer” celebrated songs that were once all the rage on Wednesday, November 8 with its “One Hit Wonders Night” episode on Fox. Four mystery celebrities sang their hearts out, but it was Hibiscus who wilted after her performance of “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls. The fiery flower removed her mask to reveal “The Real Housewives of New York City” star and Luann de Lesseps.
“So much fun, I had the best time!” she told host Nick Cannon during her unmasked interview. “I’ll see you all at my cabaret shows! Do you think I can keep this [costume] and take it home?” She then broke into her classic tune, “Money Can’t Buy You Class.”

It was “One-Hit Wonders” night on “The Masked Singer” this week and, perhaps fittingly, they sent home a competitor after just one performance on the show.
Wednesday’s episode, pushed back by the World Series, saw the premiere of Group D and thus, the introduction of Hibiscus. She gave her all to a performance of “It’s Raining Men,” but sadly, it was the flower who went home at the end of the night.
Her clues included references to Sharon Stone, Elton John, a gingerbread house and more, along with a cryptic hint from Hibiscus herself: “I’ve been in a couple beauty pageants and I’ve also worn a tiara.”
As a result, the panel threw out guesses including Kim Zolciak, Bonnie Hunt and Janice Dickinson. But, in the end, Hibiscus was unmasked to reveal… Luann de Lesseps.

Bill Cosby has been sued again for sexual assault, this time in Nevada under a newly-enacted law that eliminates the statute of limitations for civil cases.
The nine women bringing the suit are Janice Dickinson, Lise-Lotte Lublin, Janice Baker Kinney, Lili Bernard, Heidi Thomas, Linda Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Cooper, Pam Joy Abeyta and Angela Leslie.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for Nevada, accuses Cosby of using his “enormous power, fame and prestige” to target each of them. The suit alleges the assaults took place between 1979 and 1992 in Nevada. Each of the plaintiffs maintain that Cosby either drugged them, or sought to do so. You can read details of their claims here.
In a statement to NBC News, which broke the story, the entertainer’s spokesperson accused the women suing Cosby of being motivated by their “addiction to massive amounts of media attention and greed.”

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is back for the show’s first-ever All Stars series.
Starring former I’m a Celebrity campmates, this special series is set in South Africa and will see the returning contestants reunite for a new set of extra-gruelling challenges.
Ant and Dec will reprise their roles as hosts.
Among the returning contestants are both winners, finalists and early exiters, all of whom made an impact when they first appeared in the jungle.
Let’s look back at their previous times in the jungle...
Amir Khan
Boxer Khan appeared on the 17th series of I’m a Celebrity in 2017, during which he placed fifth.
He competed in five Bushtucker Trials, but was most known for “strawberry gate”, where he convinced Iain Lee that they should eat the strawberries and cream they won in the Dingo Dollar challenge, rather than sharing them with the camp.

Shirley Ballas has hinted that that she may consider leaving Strictly Come Dancing due to the “truly awful” messages she receives from trolls online.
Ballas has been a fixture on the BBC dancing competition since 2017, having been brought on to replace Len Goodman as head judge.
In a recent interview, the 62-year-old said that she reached an “all-time low” during last year’s season due to trolls.
“Last year, I was struggling,” she told The Mirror. “It wasn’t just a little bit, it was a lot – the majority of it was in silence.”
Ballas continued: “I felt the abuse snowballed out of control and impacted me in such a negative way. I’m a pretty stoic person, and I tend to hold everything in.”
She said it was the most negativity she has “ever experienced”. Ballas did, however, commend the “brilliant” BBC for checking in on her reguarly and offering support and counselling.

Jennifer Flavin is reportedly seeking a divorce from her husband of 25 years, the actor Sylvester Stallone.
Flavin and Stallone first had an eight-year relationship until 1994 when the Rocky star told her he was having an affair with model Janice Dickinson. They later reconciled and married in 1997, but Flavin filed for divorce from Stallone in the state of Florida last week.
Flavin’s court docs reportedly said the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” and also made more serious allegations against Stallone than initial reports that they separated over an argument regarding adopting a rottweiler.
She said that Stallone’s spending caused a “waste of marital assets,” and she can only be “compensated and made whole” if she receives a higher portion of the estate.
Stallone said a statement, “I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.”
The actor also commissioned a cover-up of a tattoo of Flavin...

Bill Cosby could be back in court soon fighting over the overturning this past summer of his 2018 rape conviction as Pennsylvania prosecutors appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States. Lashing out against the so-called “#metoo mob” in response and tongue lashing the “pathetic last-ditch effort” by the Montgomery County’s District Attorney The Cosby Show creator certainly isn’t taking the high road to the High Court.
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s expansion of the Due Process Clause goes far beyond anything contemplated by this Court,” says the petition for a writ of certiorari filed on November 24 to beat today’s Scotus deadline (read it here).
“Because it construes the federal constitution, it is poised to transform similar decisions not to prosecute into effective grants of immunity in other states,” the 33-page filing states. “At the least, it presages extensive litigation of such claims nationwide, particularly in light...

In a stunning judicial reversal, Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction has been overturned by the Pennsylvania supreme court. Pennsylania’s highest court ruled Wednesday that Cosby’s agreement with former prosecutor Bruce Castor in 2005 should have prevented him from being charged again.
“The collective weight of these considerations led D.A. Castor to conclude that, unless Cosby confessed, there was insufficient credible and admissible evidence upon which any charge against Mr. Cosby related to the Constand incident could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt,'” according to the decision.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Cosby was released on Wednesday afternoon, hours after the court’s decision.
Cosby was charged in 2015, convicted in 2018 — and was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison for raping Andrea Constand at his Philadelphia home in 2004. He had been arrested just days before the 12-year statute of limitations expired on newly unsealed evidence.

Updated with prison release: Bill Cosby has been released from prison after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his 2018 sexual assault conviction, finding fault with the way prosecutors pursued a case against him after earlier declining to file charges.
Pennsylvania Department of Corrections spokesperson Maria Bivens said in a statement just before 3 p.m. Et that the actor-comedian “has been released.” The state Supreme Court said Cosby, 83, cannot be retried on the same charges, though there is the potential that the overturn opinion could be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But it’s highly that the nation’s highest court would even take the case.

After almost two years in state prison for the 2004 rape of Andrea Constand, Bill Cosby will get to argue part of his case before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in an appeal granted Tuesday.
Having failed on almost a dozen occasions to have the matter reopened or re-litigated, this limited review does present the officially designated sexually violent predator once known as America’s Dad with the best opportunity to be free since he was sentenced in September 2018 to up to a decade behind bars. While no date has been set due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the appeal could also put the Montgomery County D.A.’s office and Cosby trial(s) Judge Steven O’Neill under the legal microscope.
