The guy the nuts like to say was hired by her to kill him said he did not do it, and that Kurt would have been more likely to ask him to kill her than the other way around.

Not necessarily a rumor but Lady Gaga says she’s bi and I don’t believe it at all. I love her but it feels like complete pandering. If she’s bi and most of her fans are gay, there should be no reason she wouldn’t have been romantically linked to even a single woman since she blew up in 2008. She strikes me as someone who kissed a girl once to try it out. I can’t bring this up around other Gaga fans though or they say I’m “discrediting her sexuality.” I say seeing is believing.

The accident between Clooney and the 16-year-old waiter happened summer 2013 shortly before a "fiancée" was very publicly hired for him. QAnon didn't even come into existence until 2016/17 which is over three years later. Timeline doesn't match. It is PR's job to create doubt and DEFLECT regardless of plausibility.
He wouldn't have had to so loudly get married in 2014 if he wasn't trying to get in front of something. Parading the wedding for the public and inviting the paps and People magazine just screamed damage control and DEFLECTION. Same goes for Tammy Cruise and his loud Italian Wedding extravaganza and People spread.
Blaming the story on his "outspoken liberal views" is standard PR DEFLECTION. He is being persecuted for his political views.
The Gizlaine blowjob story was also DEFLECTION and actually planted by his PR. It is far better for his image to be thought of as straight and sleazy rather than gay. The blowjob story leaves a very heterosexual image in people's minds about him. Which is his PR's job, image control, by whatever means necessary.
The Standard Rules of PR: Deny, DEFLECT, Dismiss and Diminish the person or source making the accusation.

I don’t think Tom Cruise is gay either. I think he is straight-leaning asexual; and the weirdness people pick up on in him being slightly autistic. He used to practice facial expressions in the mirror as a child so he would look likeable. It’s homophobia that in the 80s and 90s his freakiness was assigned to homosexuality.
Though, it’s almost a given he did his time on the casting couch as a young Jersey kid. One of his earliest movies is a bit part in Endless Love by Franco Zeffirelli, co-starring gorgeous twinks James Spader and Ian Ziering. The writer of Withnail and I based all of the dialogue between Uncle Monty and the Paul McGann character on a day when chased around the bedroom by Zeffirelli when he played Benvolio in Romeo and Juliet.

I say this in every celebrity thread, but I think that there is a pedophile problem in Hollywood, but I don’t think it’s a big, organized ring. I think that pedophiles flock to showbiz, for the same reasons they flock to churches: easy access to kids from desperate families.
I also think that the most vulnerable kids are targets, not the biggest stars. Someone like Brad Renfro who came from a poor family, whose parents weren’t in the picture, is the type that pedos look for in showbiz and out of showbiz. Or Drew Barrymore, whose mother would sell them out them. Child actors like Natalie Portman, whose dad is a doctor, or Elijah Wood, who had a protective mom, aren’t targets.

I don't believe a lot of the random celebrity pedo rumors either. Tom Hanks seems to be a common target of them because he posts weird, random shit on Instagram like gloves or socks lying on the ground. I guess they supposedly belong to missing people who are being raped/tortured/murdered by the underground Hollywood devil rings. Jamie Lee Curtis was also a target recently because she had a picture on the wall of her friend's child playing naked in a washtub.
They build these "theories" off the flimsiest, off-the-wall bullshit. Not a single person has accused Tom Hanks or Jamie Lee Curtis of inappropriate sexual behavior as far as I know. Yet Trump, who has admitted on tape that he likes to "grab 'em by the pussy" and has been accused of sexual misconduct by many women, is a saint who is being framed by the Liberal devil worshiping machine.

When I see people who accuse JLC, Cruise, or Hanks of that stuff, I just figure they've been raped by their daddy or peepaw and could never (or still can't) say anything about it. So, they shift their loud, misplaced blame to some celebrity. It only shows their mental cases and not that the celeb is "guilty".

R129 I have never heard Tom Hanks ever being associated with pedo rings. That seems implausible. I know him to be a very kind man. I just cannot see him or Rita EVER being associated with Pedophilia.
It’s so sad to watch trolls try to destroy someone’s life with unfounded accusations. That is some serious shit.
This explains the personality traits of trolls. This article is very informative. “The ‘Dark Triad’ of personality traits is characterised by psychopathy (continuous anti-social behaviour, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits and remorselessness), Machiavellianism (manipulation and exploitation of others, an absence of morality, unemotional callousness, and a higher level of self-interest) and Narcissism (by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy).
Adding sadism (cruel or demeaning behaviour to others, or intentionally inflicts physical, sexual, or psychological pain or suffering on others in order to assert power and dominance or for pleasure and enjoyment) makes up the ‘Dark Tetrad’.”
Unfortunately trolls thrive on conflict and are the most dysfunctional individuals. They thrive on ruining people. I pray they leave Tom alone.

Tim Gunn’s father worked for the FBI. Tim Gunn said something in one of his books that lends credence to Hoover dressing as a woman. I forgot the details of the anecdote. Maybe Hoover didn’t dress up as a woman and go to an employee party, but I think he did dress up as a woman in more private situations.

[quote] [R84], I reckon the point is power is going to overstep boundaries because of power. The occult or whatever is just one way to justify unrestrained power that meets the least resistance when operating in...the downlow! Power can be impulsive off the cuff ("Do you know who I am?!"), or in long-term plans they must be meticulous, patient, even ceremonial in giving cues for progressing through the phases of a masterplan.
The point of power is to control other people's perception of you. "Be nice to me / obey me ... or else!". It usually comes with the need to affirm said perceived power. Worship, for example. Or by committing heinous acts and rejoice when you get away with them. The occult, like religion, is a snake oil offering to give people who feel lost a sense of either order, purpose or higher purpose (= Look, I matter more than you!) in life.
[quote] I say this in every celebrity thread, but I think that there is a pedophile problem in Hollywood, but I don’t think it’s a big, organized ring.
There are people who use your so-called flaws against you. During the early decades of the Cold War, Russia targeted homosexuals to recruit them to turn on their home country for not accepting them as they are. Cyclist Lance Armstrong created a network of co-conspirators and entangled them into committing crimes in order to cover and protect himself and his career. In the Catholic Church, higher ranking priests protecting their fellow priests and the Church's reputation by covering up official records of child molestation accusation for decades.
If you know, "the real you" is not going to be accepted by the public, you are more likely to seek the protection and support of those who do. Of course, there will remain plenty of "lone wolves" who will act on their own, but that's like with any group of people.
Hollywood, like any other business or career driven organization, is guarded by those who control and protect the rules of the game. Anyone with ambition meets them and is told what he or she has to do in order to be allowed to play the game (become rich and famous, etc.) and that includes providing blackmail material that ensures they stay in line. Acts of pedophilia (being a pedophile yourself or just willing to do anything for your ambitious goal) are one way of being blackmailed into submission for the rest of your life (= "Selling your soul").

Look, if Aretha's daddy impregnated another 12-year-old girl and several other teen girls, I'd say he's the prime suspect for impregnating 12-year-old Aretha!
12-year-old girls aren't looking for sex, it's forced on them by someone close to them, someone with both access and authority, like a relative, teacher, or minister. And as Aretha's daddy was both her parent and her minister, and he liked girls that age...

If we are to uncritically accept Tim Gunn’s fuzzy childhood recollection at face value, that would mean that Hoover was cross-dressing in his office at FBI headquarters, which is not only preposterous on its face, but completely unattested by any other person during his five decades running the Bureau.
It’s reasonable to suspect that Hoover was a closet case hypocrite, but the cross-dressing thing has always been unsubstantiated baloney, IMHO.

r125 People overestimate how much industry people knew about Weinstein or Spacey's behavior. Today, we use the term sexual predator, but 10-15 years ago, we knew they just tried to put themselves in situations where they would try to fuck as many hot girls or guys as they could.
If youve ever listened to the recording of weinstein with that model, he asks her to come into his room about 20 times in 90 seconds. Some people aren't great at saying no or speaking up for themselves. Those who do walk away. Those who can't end up having sex or being raped by predators like that. And its a sliding scale. Not all sexual acts that Weinstein did with models and actresses were crimes. But he did commit crimes and its good he will die in prison
In any case, people knew he tried to fuck a lot of models and actresses. They had no idea he was actually dangerous to be around and was a rapist.

Collectors claim the original cut showed a munchkin who committed suicide by hanging, swinging on the rope that hung him in the distance background of the trees on set--that the film accidently caught the suicide in the act but the film editors didn't notice since it was so far away in the background of the scene.

IMO a a gay man did not lead a uniformed military service “and then be appointed sec def”
It’s the sec of def position where we are not talking about the same “alleged “ person.

R227 Thanks for your comment. I made the wrong assumption about the person to whom you are referring. My guy is obvious. Can you give a broader hint as to whom you are referring?

The flag rank I am referring to is never coming out, The book Conduct Unbecoming is a close as you will come. Sure there were lots of rumors . Or lots of knowledge about him.
A really beloved figure within the Apple eaters community.,

If your guy is obvious then I am confused. I did not think it was well known outside of the military who this might be. And even then I would ne supposed if a LOT knew.
I do do bet we are talking about the same person?

R233 I wasn't referring to Jim Webb. JW was name Secty of the Navy; my guy was appointed Secty of Defense. His name also is Jim. He was USMC although his fb was an Admiral in the Navy.

"[R125] People overestimate how much industry people knew about Weinstein or Spacey's behavior. Today, we use the term sexual predator, but 10-15 years ago, we knew they just tried to put themselves in situations where they would try to fuck as many hot girls or guys as they could"
Okay, maybe not everyone in the movie industry knew that Weinstein and Spacey were actually committing rapes, but I think that absolutely everyone knew that Weinstein was openly engaging in Quid Quo Pro sexual harassment, because even we knew out in our various Bumfuckes, and I bet a hell of a lot of people knew both were engaging in frank sexual harassment and retaliating against anyone who turned them down.
But EVERYBODY knew about Harvey offering roles and award campaigns in exchange for sex, and IMHO they also knew that he'd actually deliver on the roles and award campaigns. AND that he might tank their careers if they said no, Weinstein offered both the carrot and the stick.

Holy cow. I had no idea at all. Not that I should.
So we are talking about two different gay men both known for being tough warriors and both got the number one job.
My guy was a VN combat vet so kind of old like me. And he was beloved. And long before don’t ask don’t tell was an option,
Conduct Unbecoming never names my general, but he is described in some detail. Including his marriage to as I remember his house keeper right before he got the main job, At the time randy wrote that book my guy was just a general not the head guy yet.
I find this kind of discussion a grey area for discussion
There is a hint somewhere in the above

R237 I want to see a separate thread devoted to a deeper take on this. Yep, these guys were tough warriors; true Spartans.

And that particular service of all our uniformed services,
I mean the commission corps of the Public Health Service no one would blink an eye at a gay man or woman (or trans) leading .
As you can guess if you are having this conversation with some of the former enlisted of that service they will go bat shit nuts denying this.

R239 Isn't that the group that's attached to the Navy somehow. I remember the doctor who worked in Trump's Health Secty office - He referred to himself as Admiral Brett Giroir and wore the uniform. Yikes.

r235 I knew several women who went up for jobs working for Weinstein. Nobody around them suggested they stay away or would be part of facilitating a rape factory. I'm not sure the retaliation stuff was known about--we now know how Black Cube targeted women and probably planted coke on Rose McGowan to discredit her.
We did hear that anyone who tried to write an unflattering book or article about him ended up getting the stories killed because someone (either the journalist or their editor) would have other works of theirs purchased for film rights.
"EVERYBODY knew about Harvey offering roles and award campaigns in exchange for sex" - We know of specific instances where he retaliated against some actresses who turned him down but which actresses accused him of using an award campaign as sex bait?
Incidentally, part of what was known in NYC might not have been as clear to industry people in LA.

He did not just refer to himself as an Admiral he was an Admiral. But had nothing to do with the Navy.
But a poster here mentions warrior, and spartan as far as combat and the first service you think of is the USPHS.
Well played :-)

I recall reading a very creepy horror story about that rumor, "The Hanged Man of Oz" by Steven Nagy.

Ronan Farrow is Frank Sinatra's son.

What I *do* believe is that Ronan Farrow wears pale blue contacts, to make himself look more like Sinatra, I've seen childhood photos of his and he had his mother's dark blue eyes when he was a kid. And as far as resemblance goes, he looks like a male clone of his mother, like his father didn't manage to get any of his own DNA in.
Now of course the old rumor about Mia Farrow was that her mother had an affair with Sinatra back in the day, and he was really Mia's biological father...
