Harvey Weinstein Banned for Life from Producers Guild

Published | Updated

Harvey Weinstein just got the death penalty from the Producers Guild of America.

The PGA announced Monday ... "In light of Mr. Weinstein's widely reported behavior .. the Producers Guild's National Board has voted unanimously to enact a lifetime ban."

The guild had began the process of ending his membership 2 weeks ago, but was willing to give Weinstein until Nov. 6 to plead his case before a final verdict. The PGA said Weinstein forfeited that opportunity ... and as a result, they dropped the hammer early.

As we reported, Weinstein plans to continue making movies, but he won't have the guild's backing if he's successful in doing so.

Zachary Quinto Spacey's Coming Out Is 'Deeply Sad and Troubling'

Published | Updated

Kevin Spacey is taking more heat from the LGBT community -- now, Zachary Quinto is teeing off on his coming out, calling it "deeply sad and troubling."

The 'Star Trek' star says Spacey's announcement he's gay was nothing but a "calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation" ... that he attempted to molest then-14-year-old actor Anthony Rapp.

As we reported ... Spacey came out in his apology statement to Rapp, in which he also claimed he didn't remember the alleged incident.

Quinto ain't buying that. He added, "i am sorry that kevin only saw fit to acknowledge his truth when he thought it would serve him - just as his denial served him for so many years."

Rosie O'Donnell has ripped Spacey, and so has Billy Eichner.

Kevin Spacey Accused of Trying to Molest 14-Year-Old Actor

Published | Updated

"Star Trek: Discovery" actor Anthony Rapp claims Kevin Spacey got sexually aggressive toward him when he was only 14 years old, and Spacey has responded by apologizing and coming out as gay.

Rapp told BuzzFeed News the incident occurred in 1986 ... the 2 were both on Broadway at the time. Rapp says Spacey told him he was having a party and invited him.

Rapp says he got bored and retreated to the bedroom to watch TV. He said Spacey came in the room and appeared drunk, then "picked me up like a groom picks up the bride over the threshold. But I don't, like, squirm away initially, because I'm like, 'What's going on?' And then he lays down on top of me."

Rapp says Spacey was holding him down as he struggled to get away, adding, "He was trying to seduce me." He eventually got away and left.

Spacey, now 58, responded on social media, saying, "I have a lot of respect and admiration for Anthony Rapp as an actor. I am beyond horrified to hear his story. I honestly do not remember the encounter, it would have been over 30 years ago. But if I did behave as he describes, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior ..."

Spacey went on to say, "The story has encouraged me to address other things about my life," adding, "I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man."

GIVE ME THE STATUE!!!

The backup Rocky Balboa statue for "Rocky III" might just end up in the hands of Sly Stallone himself ... 'cause his wife, Jennifer Flavin, says she wants to buy it!!

That was until we told her how much it'd cost her -- up to $1 MIL -- at which point she seemed to lose hope (sorry, Jenn).

TMZ Sports broke the story ... SCP Auctions is taking bids on the only replica of the iconic Rocky statue -- made just in case anything happened to the original.

Flavin was pumped about bringing the piece home to Stallone ... but after finding out the price tag, told us another place she'd be OK with the bronzen Balboa ending up.

Never say never, though ... you really think Sly wouldn't pony up?

Weinstein Co. 1st Movie Post-Scandal Made Just $742!

Published | Updated

It would appear that Harvey Weinstein's woes might've started to affect his business -- the 1st Weinstein Co. movie released since his scandal made less than $1,000 in theaters.

TWC's "Amityville: The Awakening" -- which stars Bella Thorne -- reportedly grossed a meager $742 Saturday after being released in just 10 locations ... 2 weeks after streaming on Google Play for free.

The movie was shot a while ago, with the first trailer dropping in 2015 -- but its release date kept getting pushed back until this month. The announcement for its latest release date came just a couple weeks before Harvey's first NYT story.

As we reported ... sources close to TWC's financial records tell us the biz is on the verge of bankruptcy, but the company has called BS on that claim.

To be fair, it's not entirely clear if Harvey's troubles played any role in this flick's crappy earnings -- but if it's any consolation ... at least it didn't do as bad Shia LaBeouf's 1-ticket movie.

OKTOBERFESTIN'

Christopher McDonald was slinging brew like the Germans do during Oktoberfest -- which could help explain his DUI arrest later the same day.

TMZ has obtained video of Chris at an Oktoberfest Saturday around the Lake Arrowhead area, and as you can see ... he was front and center for the festivities, beer in hand and all.

Unclear how much this plays into his bust later that night, but we do know he was arrested for DUI and thrown into jail just hours later. We're told this video was taken around 5 PM ... about 4 hours before he crashed his Porsche and was taken into custody.

As we reported ... Chris allegedly tried playing the celeb card with cops, but they weren't buying what he was selling -- which is apparent in these arrest photos. He was taken to a nearby jail and was set to be released without bail.

Fahr vorsichtig, Chris.

Rose McGowan Harvey Offered Me $1M of Hush Money ... I Countered with $6M

Published | Updated

Rose McGowan says Harvey Weinstein offered her $1 million to keep her mouth shut before his 1st sexual harassment story broke -- which she countered for far higher before ultimately shooting him down.

Rose told the NYT someone in Weinstein's camp reached out to her before the first story ran with multiple allegations of sexual harassment and offered her $1 mil to sign a non-disclosure agreement saying she'd stay quiet through it all.

She says she countered with $6 million, explaining she thought she could get at least $3 mil out of him -- which she says she only considered to help fund her art.

Ultimately, Rose says she told her lawyer to pull the plug on the counter-offer within a day of the article being published because she says she thought ... "Ew, gross, you’re disgusting, I don’t want your money, that would make me feel disgusting."

Rose made her first public speech in the wake of Weinstein last week at a women's convention with a clear message ... time to step up and be heard.

If you're reading this, it's too late to not know Gwyneth Paltrow loses her head in the movie "Se7en" ... but it's not too late to get a kick out of her Halloween costume.

Gwyneth posted a photo Sunday of her costume this year -- and it's a straight tribute to her role in the 1995 thriller she starred in alongside then-boyfriend Brad Pitt.

It shows her in a tub with a box around her head ... and her current boyfriend, Brad Falchuk, dressed as Kevin Spacey's character from the film. In case you're 22 years behind in seeing the flick, Spacey sends Brad Gwyneth's head in a box ... BTW, this is a spoiler.

An interesting backdrop here ... "Se7en" was made a few years before Harvey Weinstein allegedly put the moves on Gwyneth, and Brad confronted him about it.

Scary stuff all around ...

Christopher McDonald Busted for DUI ... Plays Celebrity Card

Published | Updated

"Happy Gilmore" star Christopher McDonald has been arrested for drunk driving ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us "Thelma & Louise" actor was driving in the Lake Arrowhead area Saturday at 9 PM when he was taken into custody. An eyewitness tells TMZ McDonald drove his classic silver Porsche off the highway, taking out a gas meter at Stater Bros. and ending up in an embankment.

The eyewitness says McDonald told cops he appeared in "Happy Gilmore." They were not impressed.

McDonald was taken to a nearby jail where he's being kept until he sobers up. He will be released without bail.

This is not McDonald's first drunk driving case. He was arrested in 2013 for DWI in Wilmington, North Carolina. At the time he blew .15 ... almost double the legal limit.

GOING BEHIND THE CAMERA

Ronda Rousey still loves fighting ... but she doesn't have to break arms to be in the scene.

The semi-retired UFC mega-star gave us the low-down on her latest project -- an executive producer gig for the docuseries "Why We Fight."

Rousey told TMZ Sports it's basically a look inside the mind of a mixed martial artist ... and what pushes people like herself to punch face for a living.

"It's not a normal profession or thing to do, but there's always something that drives you towards it and everyone always has their own story."

FYI, Ronda's also keeping busy in the gaming world (Assassin's Creed is her jam) ... and it's looking like she's about to jump ship to the WWE.

Susan Sarandon Convertible from Justice's Music Vid Is For Sale

Published | Updated

Susan Sarandon's got a thing for drop tops -- see "Thelma & Louise" -- and the one she recently drove like a maniac in Justice's "Fire" music video is for sale for one helluva price.

It's a 1985 Toyota Celica ... not only cool because Toyota discontinued making Celicas in 2006, but also because this one's got a shiny, disco ball-like body.

Also great ... the $5k price tag, especially since the band put about $10k worth of renovations into the car for the video shoot.

Sure, it ain't the '66 Thunderbird from "Thelma & Louise" but it's still a cool whip ... and price ... and still in one piece.

Alexander Skarsgard SCALPED!

Published | Updated

Alexander Skarsgard looks like a dude who drunkenly bet his friends he'd shave the top of his head if the Dodgers lost Game 2 of the World Series.

The actor turned heads Thursday night in NYC when he debuted a new scalped look at a Louis Vuitton event. He's currently shooting a movie called "The Hummingbird Project" ... so we're guessing this is for a movie role.

We know it's just hair, and it'll grow back, but DAMN. Pretty risky, especially considering what Skarsgard usually looks like. He's committed.

Attorney Lisa Bloom Deeply Involved in Investigating Harvey Weinstein's Alleged Victims

Published | Updated

Lisa Bloom -- who said she resigned from representing Harvey Weinstein after learning of his sexual misdeeds -- was deeply involved in investigating various female accusers to discredit them ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

We've learned Bloom actively investigated Rose McGowan back in July ... months before she left the case. We're told she had combed through private investigator's reports and discussed the findings with Harvey Weinstein and others.

We also learned Bloom investigated compromising information to use against another alleged victim, Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, specifically documents from Italy. We're told the endgame here was to kill a story. Gutierrez was mentioned in The New Yorker article.

We're told Bloom was also involved in lobbying the New York Times and NBC to back off their stories on Weinstein.

Our sources say Bloom had been extremely active in honing in on the alleged victims as early as April ... pouring over non-disclosure agreements and reviewing investigative reports prepared on at least one rape accuser.

Our sources say Bloom was also involved in efforts to secretly record at least one sexual assault victim.

We're told Bloom's involvement in the Weinstein sexual assault/harassment matters go back as far as January 2017.

When Bloom left the case she told the LA Times, "I was never aware that there were allegations of sexual assault. Should I have? Yes."

Bloom declined comment. We're told The Weinstein Company threatened her with legal action if she speaks further on the case and about her representation, on grounds it would violate the attorney-client privilege.
