Vermicious Knid June 1, 2023 Share June 1, 2023 I give it two years at most before the husband/baby daddy drops her. There will be plenty of young, pretty things around who are available and not going to jail. Has anyone been following the crazy scandal going on in UK television? I wasn't familiar with the people or the show but it's being compared to a real-life Morning Show. Phillip Schofield was a beloved children's show host who went on to host This Morning for 21 years. So first he came out as gay on live tv a few years ago, which was a surprise to his wife. A few days ago he resigned amid reports he was feuding with his co-star. Nope, having an affair with a much younger male colleague and then lying to cover it up. Quote The ex-This Morning host said the relationship with his junior colleague was "unwise but not illegal". In a statement to the Daily Mail, Schofield said he "met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television". He apologised for lying to colleagues, employers, the media and public... Schofield said he was "so, very, very sorry" for being unfaithful to his wife, and for lying to his colleagues, agents, employers, friends, the media and the public. The part I bolded should be getting him investigated by the police. 3 5 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8025127

Then it ran into military procurement bureaucracy. Her charm. The saddest part was George Schultz and his grandson, as @bluegirl147 pointed out She was at Schultz's birthday party but not his grandson. Because his grandson said, if she's there I will not be. Apparently they made up in the end. After Elizabeth was arrested. She and the new mark ... I mean guy are not married. It was a way to protect assets. IF he sticks around for her, in 11 years when she gets out nothing will be in her name. That way it can't be seized for restitution.

Nope, having an affair with a much younger male colleague and then lying to cover it up. The part I bolded should be getting him investigated by the police. I've followed the story kind of, since it is all over the news here, inescapable. It's been a really big deal. Schofield has been the golden boy of British telly for most of my life - he was a hugely popular presenter of children's TV when I was young, and then made the move into hosting breakfast television, where he formed what has always been presented as a wonderful partnership with his co-star Holly Willoughby. I've never watched their show - I actually found their presenting style quite mean-spirited - but they have been hugely popular for two decades. Schofield has always had something of a boy-next-door appeal...but the cracks have been forming for some time now. His coming out came as quite a shock, given that his public image had always been that of the contented family man, happily married with two daughters. Well, he wouldn't be the first gay man to marry and have a family while in the closet, but the manner of his coming out drew a lot of side eyes. It wasn't kind to his family, shall we say. They deserved at least a head's up that their lives were about to be imploded on national telly. Then his brother was convicted of sexually abusing a teenage boy earlier this year. Schofield took time off during the trial, but public sympathy was largely still with him. After all, he isn't responsible for his brother's crimes. Rumours of the feud with Willoughby began around about the same time, though - and then exploded last month, culminating in his resignation. And then the revelations since. It's been quite startling to see how fast he went from golden boy to public whipping boy.

Why did they even waste the time of hiring him if they weren't going to listen to him I went back and listened to The Dropout podcast and was incorrect in that Hunter was already a Walgreens employee. Sorry about that. The company send him as part of the team to vet Theranos as "The Expert". Walgreens did ignore Hunter's advice which resulted in him eventually leaving the company. Hunter's gut told him the day would come when Thearnos would be exposed as a fraud. When it did, Hunter didn't want his name and reputation associated with it. Anyway, from Hunter's interview I get the impression Walgreens signed on because 1) They really, Really, REALLY wanted to believe the device worked because if it did 2) Walgreens could overtake Lab Corp and Quest as Number 1 in lab diagnostics testing.

She charmed people into believing this could be done. And many wanted to believe because who wouldn't prefer a finger stick to a blood draw? Then as she reeled them in, they got stock which would have been worthless if it turned out to be wrong.

I missed seeing a Kevin Smith talk years ago, because he showed up late for check in and they would not allow him to board. IIRC, he also tried to blame the airline. I was more pissed with his idea that he was above the rules than I was about missing the show with friends.

Yep. He tried to get on a plane with three carry-ons worth of stuff and thinks he is being targeted because he was told no. His instagram has been nothing but posts about this since. All because they wanted him to gate-check a bag. I don’t think he understands what classism is. Based on his other posts, he saw people (the picture he posted turned out to be an airline employee) board with three bags and has decided him not being allowed to was because the employee was racist.

In reality, I’d say he’s C-list at best. He’s never really had a hit show outside of Full House.

MissAlmond June 15, 2023 Share June 15, 2023 (edited) In the latest news regarding the accidental shooting on the set of Rust: Prosecutors have responded to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's request to have charges dismissed alleging Gutierrez-Reed was “drinking heavily and smoking marijuana in the evenings during the shooting of Rust." Gutierrez-Reed's attorney countered: “The prosecution has so mishandled this case and the case is so weak that they are now resorting to character assassination tactics to further taint the press and jury pool."

Popular Post merylinkid June 16, 2023 Popular Post Share June 16, 2023 The case against anyone else might be weak. But the armorer's ONE JOB is to ensure that guns are safe on set. Period. Even if the director had her running around doing other jobs, that was still her primary job. A live round got into a gun that was used on set. Even if the gun could fire without pulling the trigger -- still a live round on set. Even if someone tampered with the gun -- still a live round on set. Even if the scene was badly set up -- still a live round on set. Even if someone put the live round in the gun AFTER she declared it safe -- she didn't maintain control over the gun in order to ensure that didn't happen. 27 9 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8044316

Yep, her job is to make sure all of the things you listed don't happen, or get caught and corrected before someone is shot. I have given up on thinking any one will actually pay for what happened via the law, but I do hope that she never works as an armorer again because in that particular job, she is a danger. Anyone who hires her as an armorer is a fucking moron. 21 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8044893
JustHereForFood June 19, 2023 Share June 19, 2023 On 6/1/2023 at 4:36 PM, Llywela said: I've followed the story kind of, since it is all over the news here, inescapable. It's been a really big deal. Schofield has been the golden boy of British telly for most of my life - he was a hugely popular presenter of children's TV when I was young, and then made the move into hosting breakfast television, where he formed what has always been presented as a wonderful partnership with his co-star Holly Willoughby. I've never watched their show - I actually found their presenting style quite mean-spirited - but they have been hugely popular for two decades. Schofield has always had something of a boy-next-door appeal...but the cracks have been forming for some time now. His coming out came as quite a shock, given that his public image had always been that of the contented family man, happily married with two daughters. Well, he wouldn't be the first gay man to marry and have a family while in the closet, but the manner of his coming out drew a lot of side eyes. It wasn't kind to his family, shall we say. They deserved at least a head's up that their lives were about to be imploded on national telly. Then his brother was convicted of sexually abusing a teenage boy earlier this year. Schofield took time off during the trial, but public sympathy was largely still with him. After all, he isn't responsible for his brother's crimes. Rumours of the feud with Willoughby began around about the same time, though - and then exploded last month, culminating in his resignation. And then the revelations since. It's been quite startling to see how fast he went from golden boy to public whipping boy. Oh no, I used to like him a lot. He and Holly seemed like such a great team and it always made me happy to watch an occasional clip of their show on youtube. I am beginning to be genuinely scared to like people anymore. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8047251
GHScorpiosRule June 21, 2023 Share June 21, 2023 So, I was watching Britbox last night. I think this was on Britbox. Or maybe it was Prime. Anyway, there was a documentary of sorts about Joan Collins. Actually, she was telling the audience and reading and editing the book, I think she released? Might have been a memoir? I liked it. I like her. But what was shocking was to learn that John Forsyth really is an asshole like Blake Carrington, and not a nice person as say, Charles Townsend (Charlie's Angels) or the character he played in the 50s, Bachelor Father. According to Collins, he was PISSED when she posed for Playboy in '83. Frankly, I thought she looked gorgeous on the cover, but he went complaining to the execs, that she was "tarnishing" the reputation of Dynasty, which he called a "fine show." Oh, Really? The show that had constant cheating, sex, manipulative and obsessive jealousy. That show? And that he was also furious when at the People's Choice Awards, the presenter gave the award to Joan, instead of Forsyth, so she got to thank the audience instead of him. Not that I loooooved Forsyth, but this is disappointing. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8050183
Jaded June 21, 2023 Share June 21, 2023 I'm disappointed that people give money to this cult. It's sickening that anyone especially a woman would think the head of Scientology is some great guy especially since his wife seems to have been disappeared in the way they do for well over 10yrs at this point. I can see why Scientology was after Will, Jada and their family because all the stories that come out about this not religion always seem to involve mayosapiens.Scientology has Mary-Ellen of 'The Waltons’ on the hook for how much now? 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8050391

I never cared for him but it is always disappointing to hear someone making moral judgements about their peers, especially someone who makes their living acting in a soap opera. Dynasty wasn't exactly a morality play. 7 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136373-im-so-disappointed-in-you-celebrity-missteps/page/14/#findComment-8050528

Keep in mind two things re this claim: First, we only have Miss Collins's side of the story and Mr. Forsyth's no longer in this world so no one can ask him if he actually said or did these things. Secondly, even if her claim re Mr. Forsyth's reaction to her Playboy cover is true, she's not the nicest celeb herself. For example as she's been a longtime fan of. ..Piers Morgan[BLEH!!!] for years right down to actually inviting him to celebrate her 90th birthday with her last month (as opposed to having him foisted on her against her wishes as the British Royal family has had happen). IOW, she doesn't seem to have had to stretch very far to have portrayed Alexis.
