Iggy Azalea I Said What I Meant ... A Card & P***y for Valentine's Day

Published | Updated

Iggy Azalea firmly believes in her basic Valentine's Day gift package idea for women -- but it might be falling short for herself ... 'cause she's flying solo for the holiday.

We got Iggy Tuesday night at Craig's and asked if she really meant what she'd tweeted a day earlier when responding to a fan who asked what women should get their man for Valentine's Day.

Iggy's sticking to her guns -- a card and p***y is the way to go, according to her.

Then again ... she doesn't have a sweetheart lined up for the 14th, so maybe take her advice with a grain of salt.

Steve Wynn Resigns as CEO of Wynn Resorts

Published | Updated

Steve Wynn is out as CEO of the company he founded, announcing he's stepping down amid allegations of sexual misconduct against him ... TMZ has learned.

The casino magnate resigned Tuesday as CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Wynn says ... "In the last couple of weeks, I have found myself the focus of an avalanche of negative publicity. As I have reflected upon the environment this has created -- one in which a rush to judgment takes precedence over everything else, including the facts -- I have reached the conclusion I cannot continue to be effective in my current roles."

The board has appointed current President, Matt Maddox, as its new CEO, and Boone Wayson as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Nicole Eggert Files Police Report Against Scott Baio Alleging Sexual Assault

Published | Updated

Nicole Eggert took Scott Baio up on his challenge and filed a police report, claiming he sexually abused her when she was a minor ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned detectives from LAPD's Sexual Assault Section interviewed Eggert Tuesday morning at the offices of her attorney, Lisa Bloom. We're told 2 detectives spent 2 hours as Eggert detailed her allegations ... that Baio molested her when she was 14, 15 and 16 while they filmed "Charles In Charge" -- something Baio strongly denies.

We're told Eggert repeated her claim that Baio had sexual intercourse with her when she was 17. Baio says he had sex with her one time, but only when she was 18.

We've also learned actor Alexander Polinsky, who played Adam Powell on the show, accompanied Eggert and told detectives he witnessed some of the alleged abuse. Bloom also provided detectives with a list of witnesses who claim they observed inappropriate behavior by Baio toward Eggert.

Our Eggert sources say detectives told her they would fully investigate and attempt to interview Baio.

Eggert says the alleged abuse occurred between 1986 and 1990, so there's a question as to whether the statute of limitations has run out.

Baio's rep tells TMZ, "We've been demanding since last year that Nicole Eggert bring her story to the authorities. It's good that she finally has, even if it's part of a publicity campaign. Perhaps she can explain to them her ever-changing story."

Republic Records' Charlie Walk Alleged Extortionist Threatened Me ... Resign Or I'll F*** You Up!!!

Published | Updated

Republic Records honcho and 'The Four' judge Charlie Walk claims he was being extorted before an ex-employee accused him of sexual misconduct, and says he has a voicemail to prove it.

TMZ has obtained a voicemail a source close to Charlie claims was left by radio exec Tom Gilligan. The caller, who sounds drunk, offers Charlie a "deal" -- resign from 'The Four' and Republic and "nobody will ever say anything." He claimed Walk hired hookers, and 3 women were ready to go public as part of the #MeToo movement.

Gilligan tells us he doesn't recall leaving a voicemail for Walk, but does acknowledge he was drunk and upset with him around the same time. He claims Charlie had ignored his request to set up a meet-and-greet with Jon Bon Jovi.

Although the message was left about a month before Tristan Coopersmith went public with allegations against Walk -- Gilligan insists he has nothing to do with her or an extortion plot. As we reported ... Walk pulled out of 'The Four' finale, airing this week.

Walk's attorney, Duncan Levin, says they've filed a complaint about Gilligan with the Manhattan D.A.'s office and submitted the voicemail as evidence.

Paul Mitchell Co-Owner Sued for Harassment ... Used Co. As Hunting Ground for Sex

Published | Updated

Paul Mitchell's son Angus, a co-owner of the Paul Mitchell Company, is being sued for allegedly coercing and cajoling an employee to have sex with him.

Tally Rossi claims in a new lawsuit she was hired back in 2012 as a project manager for media/education for the famous hair care company.

She claims Angus -- who was married at the time -- used the company as a "hunting ground to find women to date and have sex with." Rossi says Angus began flirting with her, saying he wanted someone just like her.

She says in Sept. 2015, Angus invited her to his home, gave her a glass of wine, and while he was talking about his recent divorce, he grabbed her face and forcibly kissed her. She says she cried and pulled away.

Rossi says although she rejected him she felt pressure to get into a sexual relationship with him. Specifically, she says he pressured her into taking ecstasy and having sex. She says she felt like she had to do it to save her job.

In the lawsuit, filed by Ben Meiselas and Mark Geragos, Rossi says they broke up in January 2016 and no sooner did that happen than she got demoted after getting a negative performance review.

Now the twist ... she says in March 2016, she had sex with him again and he wired her $50k because he felt bad she was treated poorly at work. Then, she says, the President of the company lowered the boom, giving her the option to quit immediately or at the end of the day.

Rossi is suing for sex discrimination and harassment.

We reached out to Angus and the Paul Mitchell Co. ... so far, no word back.

Uma says years ago she and Weinstein were in a Paris hotel room discussing a script, when he asked her to go into a steam room with him.
