Disclosure (1994)
Corporate machinations. Sexual harassment. Virtual reality. CD-rom drives. Disclosure, based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name, has aged into a glorious time capsule of the early ’90s, when political correctness experienced its first backlash, technology took a giant leap forward, and someone thought it was a good idea to give Dennis Miller a supporting role in a movie. They were heady times.
Newsweek
Not everyone was pleased. “White Male Paranoia” blared the March 29, 1993, cover of Newsweek, with the subhead “Are They the Newest Victims—Or Just Bad Sports?” The story, by David Gates, took its inspiration from a movie released the prior month. In Falling Down, Michael Douglas played a ...

Huey Lewis was in the news on "Hot in Cleveland" (Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Est on TV Land) as his rock star character was back in Cleveland to record an all-star charity single with his estranged musical partner, and a ton of other musicians like Justin Bieber. Bieber wasn't seen on camera, but that didn't stop Elka from trying to get her hands on his hair for her own charity.
Victoria was excited to see Johnny Revere (Lewis) as she thought they could rekindle their romance. She became a fit of jealousy when she found out he was engaged to marry a 22-year old back-up singer. So she tried to make Johnny jealous by pretending to start a relationship with his old partner. Unfortunately, the guy was a drunken wreck, leaving Victoria to play both parts in their make out sessions.
That was still better than Melanie thinking she was...

Lindsay Judge Ignored Psychiatrist Suggestions
TMZ has learned Judge Marsha Revel ignored the advice of Lindsay Lohan's court appointed psychiatrists by ordering Lindsay to enter the Morningside rehab facility in Orange County.

Medical experts told the judge they could tailor a program at UCLA that could be especially effective -- but the judge would have none of it.
But we're told the judge rejected their recommendation and instead heeded the advise of a probation officer who favored the Morningside facility headquartered in Newport Beach. As we first reported,...
