Peter Barts Tribute to William Friedkin
“Billy Friedkin, who died today at 87, remains a uniquely unforgettable figure to his friends and colleagues — an eternal contradiction, both cantankerous yet kindly, argumentative yet thoughtful. He was a brilliant creator of popular entertainment but, to his close friends, also was brooding and cerebral.”
This dude was Friedken Amazing.
Chris Noth Says He Committed No Crimes
It’s been awhile since Noth was pulled off his Sex in the City episode after being accused of sexual assault, and today, for the first time, he made public statements. He admits to infidelity. “I strayed on my wife, and it’s devastating to her and not a very pretty picture,” he stated. “What it isn’t is a crime.” But he says he never had a sexual encounter that wasn’t consensual.
Its the best thing that ever happened to you because you got pulled off that show.
Wayne Brady Come Out...
He’s Pansexual. Or bisexual with an open mind. “To me, pan means being able to be attracted to anyone who identifies as gay, straight, bi, transsexual or non-binary. Being able to be attracted across the board. And, I think, at least for me for right now, that is the proper place,” the 51-year-old actor told the outlet, noting he was likely “completely messing up the dictionary meaning” of the word.
Only the girl part shocks us.
