One of my favorite movies that I would catch every now and again on tv was the 1968 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. The music and theatrics are amazing.
But now the stars of that film are suing Paramount for $500 million for being forced to be nude and engage in sex scenes at the age of 15 and 16.
Olivia Hussey, 71, and Leonard Whiting, 72, filed a lawsuit Friday in Santa Monica Superior Court in California accusing Paramount Pictures of sexual harassment, fraud, sexual abuse, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Hussey and Whiting, both British, say Zeffirelli originally told them there would not be any nudity in the film.
However, on the last day of filming, they claim he said the film 'would fail' unless they performed a scene nude while wearing body makeup.
'What they were told and what went on were two different things,' said Tony Marinozzi, a business manager for the actors, in a statement.
'They trusted Franco. At 16, as actors, they took his lead that he would not violate that trust they had,' the manager said.
'Franco was their friend, and frankly, at 16, what do they do?' Marinozzi added in a statement to the outlet. 'There are no options. There was no #MeToo.'
This should be interesting.

Weatherman Sam Champion is just what I picture when I think of someone lounging on their glass balcony in South Beach.
The longtime TV man is selling his Phillip Stark designed condo for chump change at $1,850,000. The condo itself is mostly white tile everywhere, (a Miami staple) but Sam has every wall covered in art.
The building, however, is filled with stunning rooms for entertaining, a gym, pools, restaurants.. everything you could want.

Love is a funny thing. It can strike anywhere to anyone. Even two star crossed 90's kids who were both looking for love in their later years.
Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas and Matthew Lawrence are dating.
Chilli' is 51 and Matthew is 42. The two were actually first seen together back in late August on a beach in Hawaii. But at the time reps for each said they weren't dating, they just both had business on the island.
Chilli's rep now says that Chilli and Matthew spent Thanksgiving and Christmas in Atlanta, where the actor met Chilli's family.
"I've been with Chilli since 2005 and I've never seen her this in love," Jordan tells PEOPLE. "She is glowing. They are really cute together."
How cute are these two?>?

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin (3) runs off the field after an NFL football game against the Chicago Bears, Saturday, Dec. 24, 2022, in Chicago. (AP Photo/Kamil Krzaczynski)
As most of you know by now, NFL player Damar Hamlin was taken to the hospital last night after a cardiac episode on the field of Monday Night Football that required medics to restart his heart.
Since then fans and friends have come in droves to the players Gofundme charity that he set up in 2020 to raise money for a toy drive in Pennsylvania.
Damar's original goal on the site was a mere $2,500. Within one hour of his collapse on the field the total was just over a million dollars. At the time this was posted it had just surpassed $4 million.
I am so insanely touched by the way people show and express love. 2023 could be the year of the human. Lets do it!!!!
Damar is currently in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital.

It's not known how, but word is coming in that Gangsta Boo, born Lola Mitchell, is dead at the age of 43.
DJ Paul paid tribute to Gangsta Boo on his Instagram, sharing a photo of the Both Worlds *69 rapper mixing on a DJ setup.
In the comment section, rapper Lil Jon - who frequently worked alongside Three 6 Mafia during their tenure - mourned Gangsta Boo's death, saying: "MAN WE WAS JUS TOGETHER 3 WEEKS AGO ? REST WELL QUENN ??."
RIP Gangsta Boo. The first lady of Southern rap, a pioneer w/ mesmerizing get money bounce, and a ubiquitous influence since she kicked Satanic verses at 15 on "Mystic Stylez." Boo defined Memphis rap as much as anyone in Three 6, and never spit a bad verse. Gone far too soon. pic.twitter.com/N8cOhAQ03Z

This unfortunate passing has been something we were mostly expecting due to his on going battle with multiple health issues.
Pelé, the Brazilian soccer star who led his country’s national team to that World Cup victory in 1956 and who, in the 1960s and 70s, rivaled Muhammad Ali as the world’s most popular and recognizable athlete, died Thursday at a Sao Paulo hospital. He was 82, and had been in poor health for the last several years as he battled cancer and what the hospital described in a statement this week as “kidney and cardiac dysfunctions.”

“Zen is in every breath I take. I know his spirit was with us in the room that morning. I know he is watching down on us. He shows me signs every day. I will hold onto this memory forever.”
Scott added, “I will remember the sound of Nick's voice saying ‘it’s a girl’ and the look of everything we’ve been through flash across his face. I will remember the sound of her crying out with her first breath and feeling her heartbeat against mine.

Years ago a Shiba Inu dog took the meme world by storm spawning dozens of derpy meme pics and eventually the almighty Doge Coin crypto. It's been a wild ride.
But the real dog behind all these iconic internet shenanigans is Kabosu. His owner is now letting the world know Shiba is coming to the end of his impressive life.
The 17-year-old shiba inu stopped “eating and drinking voluntarily” on Christmas Eve, and has been diagnosed with acute cholangiohepatitis and chronic lymphoma leukemia, according to a series of Instagram posts by her owner Atsuko Sato, a kindergarten teacher in Sakura, Japan.
While Sato said Kabosu’s appetite had returned, she had previously blogged that the dog was moving around less, and more slowly.
Doge coin is the only crypto I've held onto and that was even sort of as a joke. But now I think I'll keep it forever to honor the little dog who made us all smile. .... unless it shoots up from the attention. Then I'm selling.
