Kate Beckinsale Hospitalized For Ruptured Ovarian Cyst

Actress Kate Beckinsale said on Instagram Sunday that she was being treated for a ruptured ovarian cyst, and drugs to quell the intense pain had a downside as well.

In a post accompanied by photos of the “Underworld” star lying in a hospital bed with an oxygen tube in her nose, Beckinsale wrote: “Turns out a ruptured ovarian cyst really hurts and morphine makes me cry.” 

Ruptured ovarian cysts can cause “serious symptoms,” according to the Mayo Clinic website. Severe abdominal and pelvic pain, and pain with fever and vomiting require “immediate medical attention.”

Beckinsale’s moment of distress wasn’t helped by a troll who commented on the pictures, “But first let me take a selfie,” according to People.

“It’s actually not a selfie,” Beckinsale snapped back. “My mum took it. In fact I would not have posted it if we had not noticed someone in a car taking a photo of me leaving the hospital in a wheelchair.”

“I have Instagram largely to have my own honest narrative and not have to always be ambushed by stories that come out that are invented, I’d prefer to say what happened than endure speculation and so I chose to share,” she continued.

“I agree, it’s not a normal impulse. But it’s not normal to be photographed in vulnerable situations by people you don’t know either. (If you were interested in knowing the provenance of this, which, you probably are not.).”

Terry Crews hits back at D.L. Hughley for questioning alleged assault

Terry Crews clapped back at D.L. Hughely for criticizing and questioning his sexual assault allegation.

Crews, 50, claims a WME agent groped him at a party in 2016. The agent has since left the company and apologized to Crews in a letter.

Last summer, the controversial comedian appeared in a VLAD TV interview in which he said, “I think it’s hard for me to think that a dude with all those muscles can’t tell an agent to not touch his ass.”

Hugely, 55, added, “I don’t understand. I think that now everybody’s so into the notion that, ‘It happened to me too.’ Hey mother—ker, God gave you muscles so you could say no and mean it.”

On Sunday, Crews took to Twitter responding, “You told the the world ‘God Gave Me Muscles So I Could Say No…’ Are you implying I ‘wanted’ to be sexually assaulted. I’m listening, sir…”

Hughely didn’t directly respond to his comments but said, “You saw the video!”

In the weeks and months after Crews spoke out about his alleged assault, he claimed that he received the least support from black men.

Jay-Z and Meek Mill launch criminal justice reform org

Jay Z is joined by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Michael Rubin, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Van Jones, a CNN host and activist who will lead the Reform Alliance at a press conference in New York on Wednesday

They both grew up in impoverished communities riddled with drugs and crime.

And on Wednesday, rappers Jay-Z and Meek Mill announced they are forming a criminal justice reform organization that will lobby to change 'the laws, policies, and practices that perpetuate injustice.'

At a press conference in New York, Jay-Z, 49, explained: 'We want to be very clear. If someone commits a crime they should go to jail. But these things are just disproportionate and the whole world knows it.' 

'These things' referred to current probation and parole practices that the group, named Reform Alliance, says imprisons offenders in a revolving door of incarceration and probation.

The hip hop stars were joined by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Michael Rubin, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets co-owner Clara Wu Tsai as well as Van Jones, a CNN host and activist who will lead the Reform Alliance.

Instagramer “Bikini Hiker” freezes to death on mountain

An Instagram star known as the “Bikini Hiker”—who was famous for her bikini-clad mountaintop photos—froze to death after falling down a 65-foot ravine earlier this week.

Gigi Wu, a 36-year-old Taiwanese woman, died this week when hiking the Batongguan Historic Trail in Yushan National Park in Taiwan. During her hike, Wu fell down the ravine and survived her injuries. However, she wasn’t able to move and was trapped at the bottom of the gorge. Wu made a distress call on a satellite phone and told her friends she couldn’t move her lower half but was able to get rescuers her coordinates.

The weather turned bad, however, and the rescue plan was hindered—instead of using a helicopter they had to set out on foot. Eventually, 43 hours after her initial fall, Wu’s body was located. According to the news outlet Focus Taiwan, Wu died on Monday and it’s believed the cause of death was hypothermia.

To be clear, there is absolutely no indication that Wu was wearing a bikini at the time of her fall or that her bikini-wearing had anything to do with her death. Interviews with Wu paint a picture of an experienced hiker who made her way up over 100 mountains in full hiking gear before changing into a bikini at the top. When asked why she did so, she said it was simply for the pure beauty of it all.

The mountaintop photos began after she had lost a bet to a friend a few years ago. The snaps started to gain traction online and Wu grew her following to over 20,000 followers. Her last photo on top of a mountain was posted on January 9 of this year.

Rest in Peace, Gigi. At the time this was posted her IG was closed by family.

New allegations of Bryan Singer: Sex with young boys

Bryan Singer, the director of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is facing new allegations published in the Atlantic on Wednesday that he engaged in sexual misconduct with underage boys.

In the report, four men allege that Singer had sexual encounters with them when they were teenagers in the late 1990s. One of the men, Victor Valdovinos, says he was a 13-year-old extra on the set of “Apt Pupil” when Singer fondled his genitals.

The three other accusers are identified in the story by pseudonyms. One, identified in the story as Andy, says that he had sex with Singer when he was 15. Another man, identified as Eric, says he was 17 when he began having sex with the director. Singer would have been 31 at the time. The third man, Ben, alleges that he and Singer had oral sex when he was 17 or 18.

“He would stick his hands down your pants without consent,” the man told the Atlantic. “He was predatory in that he would ply people with alcohol and drugs and then have sex with them.”

Singer’s attorney, Andrew Brettler, denied to the magazine that Singer had ever had sex with underage boys, and disputed various details of the accusers’ accounts.

Singer was fired two weeks before the end of production on “Bohemian Rhapsody” in December 2017. The film received five Academy Award nominations on Tuesday, including best picture and best actor for Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury. Singer remains the credited director, but was not nominated. He is next scheduled to direct “Red Sonja” for Millennium Films.

The authors of the Atlantic article, Alex French and Maximillian Potter, spoke to 50 sources over the course of a 12-month investigation. French and Potter are both affiliated with Esquire, French as a writer at large and Potter as the editor at large. The article was initially expected to appear in that magazine.

On Oct. 15, Singer posted on Instagram that Esquire was looking to write a negative article about him.

“In today’s climate where people’s careers are being harmed by mere accusations, what Esquire is attempting to do is a reckless disregard for the truth, making assumptions that are fictional and irresponsible,” Singer wrote.

In April 2014, Michael Egan sued Singer, alleging that the director had raped him several times in Hawaii in 1999, when Egan was 17. That case was dropped several months later, after discrepancies emerged in Egan’s story.

Cesar Sanchez-Guzman sued Singer in December 2017, claiming that Singer raped him on a yacht in 2003. Singer has denied the allegation, and the case is still pending.

“The industry will brush things under the rug and pretend nothing happened,” Sanchez-Guzman told the magazine. “Most people don’t see the truth.”

Chris Brown arrested after rape allegation


Brown with his girlfriend Ammika Harris at Paris nightclub Cirque Bonheur on Saturday night

R&B singer Chris Brown has been arrested in Paris on suspicion of rape.  

A 24-year-old woman is said to have accused Brown of raping her on the evening of January 15 at a hotel in the French capital. 

Two police officials said Brown and two other people are in custody in Paris today after a woman filed a rape complaint. 

Brown was detained on Monday and is still in custody today while police investigate the claims, they said.  

One of the others detained is said to be Brown's bodyguard, according to one of the police officials.  

The French edition of Closer magazine reported that the woman had accused Brown of raping her at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. 

She said she met Brown at Le Crystal, a nightclub close to the Champs Elysee, and then returned to his hotel with other women and a total of three men. 

The alleged victim reportedly claimed that Brown had invited her to the hotel and then attacked her when they were left alone together. 

The woman is also said to have accused Brown's bodyguard and another friend of the singer of abusing her.  

The musician has been seen in the French capital attending events in the city's fashion week.  

'He is accused of a rape and is being held at the judicial police offices in the 1st arrondissement,' said a prosecuting source. 

'He was arrested with two others on Monday, and interviews and other enquiries are ongoing. The offence is said to have taken place on the night of January 15 this year.'
