Sarah Jessica Parker is torturing the West Village

Sarah Jessica Parker is the quintessential New Yorker – she’s lived and worked there for years and is fiercely loyal to the place. Her most famous character, Sex and the City‘s “giant whore” Carrie Bradshaw, lived and loved the city, as well. So SJP decided to capitalize on both the nostalgia for her character and her love of New York when she staged an impromptu photoshoot in front of the house at 66 Perry Street, which was used for the exterior of Carrie’s brownstone on the show, to promote her new range of shoes. And uh… the owners were none too pleased about it. From Page Six: While the house owners agreed to let “SATC” use the facade as Carrie’s home for the show, they’ve since grown tired of the frenzied fan attention and want privacy. A source tells us, “The owners are up in arms as they deal with relentless tourists, and SJP has ignored their requests for an explanation on how she could endorse the shoot, even though ‘no trespassing’ signs are posted. SJP used their house during the years of filming, and now won’t acknowledge that she and her company used the steps and facade, this time without permission, to promote her shoe line.” The owners of 66 Perry St. didn’t get back to us, but Gerald Banu, president of the Perry Street Association, told Page Six, “I heard about the shoot. They didn’t get the permission from the owner. The situation with ‘SATC’ visitors is still very intense. People who live here get upset that the sidewalks are constantly jammed.” To be fair to both sides, I get that it’s probably annoying for the homeowners to have crowds of people around your house 24/7. But uh, newsflash, you allowed your house to be used on an HBO series – you kinda asked for it. People certainly shouldn’t be allowed to trespass on your personal property regardless, but they can gather on the sidewalk if they so choose and take pictures and you can’t really stop them. As for SJP, well, she’s a law unto herself and probably feels like it’s no big deal (she didn’t respond to calls for comment). Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Kesha once swore under oath that Dr. Luke never raped her

Of course people are giving Kesha a hard time now because during a 2011 deposition for a case in which a separate manager was suing both Kesha and Dr. Luke, Kesha swore under oath that Dr. Luke had never raped her or sexually assaulted her. Many people (i.e. Dr Luke & Co) think this is definitive proof that Dr. Luke is innocent against Kesha’s recent allegations and that Kesha is a liar. Nevermind that Kesha has confided in her therapist and several fans for years over the abuse or that she could easily have been coerced into lying on the stand at the time… but whatever. From TMZ: The deposition had been sealed … and this morning Dr. Luke’s lawyer went to court asking the judge in his case to unseal the depo and allow it to be used in the current case. We’re told Kesha’s lawyer argued it was NOT fair game but the judge disagreed and unsealed it. And a statement from Kesha’s lawyer, from Gossip Cop: “Luke’s latest legal maneuver comes as no surprise; it’s a desperate Hail Mary and a pathetic attempt to once again blame his victim. As detailed in our complaint, Luke walked Kesha down the beach and threatened to destroy Kesha’s life and the lives of her family if she didn’t cover up his sexual assaults in a 2011 deposition. He is now following through on his threats and grasping at straws to try and twist Kesha’s coerced statements. Unfortunately protecting abusers out of fear happens all too often with battered women. This case is about Luke’s physical, emotional and psychological abuse of Kesha and her fight to get him out of her life. After being driven to the brink of death and into rehab, she’s no longer going to allow herself to wither away at the hands of her abuser as he tries to blame the victim.” This whole thing is such a colossal mess, bigtime. I love how often women are discredited as “liars” when it comes to sexual abuse. Have women lied about such things? Unfortunately, yes. However, more have lied and said things have never happened when they have, whether out of fear, embarrassment or any other number of reasons. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

“Buffy The Vampire Slayer” Star Arrested And The Mugshot Is ROUGH

Nicholas Brendon aka Xander Harris from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show (as opposed to the movie), was arrested in Boise, Idaho this weekend for basically being drunk and belligerent. And for breaking a dish (okay, that wasn’t the reason, but it was mentioned and it cracked me up for some reason — no pun intended). Here are some details via PEOPLE: Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon was arrested in Boise, Idaho, on Friday night. Brendon, who was in town to attend Tree City Comic Con, was picked up by police at 10:40 p.m., according to an arrest report from the Ada County Sheriff’s Office. Officers were called to a hotel after reports of a disturbance in the lobby involving Brendon and hotel staff, the Boise Police Department said in a statement. Brendon “showed signs of intoxication and repeatedly refused officers commands to stay seated while officers tried to speak to witnesses,” according to the statement. He was taken into custody after he repeatedly tried to walk away. Hotel staff claim that Brendon broke a decorative dish, and police say that additional charges are possible after speaking with witnesses. NOT THE DECORATIVE DISH!! Anyway, here’s his mugshot, and man, it is rough: In all seriousness, it sounds (and looks) like he needs help again. Brendon went to rehab in 2004 for alcohol-related issues. Might be time for another visit. I hope he gets the help he needs. Xander was always my favorite. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Matthew McConaughey Talks True Detective, Rom Coms

-Matthew McConaughey told GQ that he totally understood everything Rust Cohle was saying in True Detective (sure, he did) and also defends his rom-com roles. I like that. I mean, I still don’t really get why we spent all last year celebrating the reconnaissance of a guy who made shitty … Continue reading → The post Matthew McConaughey Talks True Detective, Rom Coms appeared first on Scandal Sheet.

David Arquette’s fight with his fiancee was caught on camera

David Arquette announced his engagement to girlfriend and Entertainment Tonight correspondent Christina McLarty back in July, but it looks like there might be a slight bit of trouble in paradise for the couple – at least if you go off the video which caught the pair screaming at each other during a fight in Los Angeles on Friday night. Well yeah, sure, that doesn’t seem great, but couples fight. And depending on your temperament, you might even fight in a way that seems insane/makes you say shit you clearly don’t mean. How many times have you fought with a significant other and said, “I’m done! No more of this shit!” only to be just fine again in the morning? I don’t think this particularly proves anything, but who knows… For the record, a rep for the couple says they’re still together. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Gwen Stefani unveils sneak peak of new single, ‘Spark the Fire’

Gwen Stefani is DIVINE. She’s absolutely beautiful and incredibly stylish and could grace every single page of Vogue without seeming out of place (or eliciting any complaints). However, her personality is slightly grating (she’s got a touch of the crazies, I think) and her music is fucking horrendous, for the most part. Take her new single, ‘Spark the Fire’ – so far we’ve only heard about 45 seconds of it, but that’s 44 seconds too many for me to know that it’s terrible. I guess now that she’s coaching a new generation of wannabe stars on The Voice, she’s probably itching to get back to her music. But this is some amateur shit you’d expect from a 15-year-old from Bumblefuck who thinks they know what “urban music” should sound like. This is not what a 45-year-old woman needs to be doing with her time. Sorry. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook

Evan Rachel Wood Whines About Vanity Fair Shoot

In 2003, Evan Rachel Wood was on the cover of Vanity Fair along with Amanda Bynes, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff, Alexis Bledel, Raven Symone, and Lindsay Lohan. What a year to be alive! One Twitter fan was having a major nostalgic moment and tweeted the photo to Ms. Wood with the caption “never forget.” Well, she hasn’t forgotten, but unfortunately, all the memories she has of the shoot are bad ones. She went off on a Twitter rant about it, and I gotta say, my empathy meter is running low on this one. Let’s check out the tweets: I was almost in tears after this shoot. They tried that dress on me, I wasnt comfortable but they told me there was no time– @katiexwright — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 – cause everyone else took up too much time with their fittings. Then I was given a choice on whether I– @katiexwright — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 –wanted to wear flats or heels. I chose flats and was immediately handed heels and told they looked better. Then we were– @katiexwright — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 –all lined up, stared at and approved. I was 15 and felt for the first time my identity being erased and the pressure– @katiexwright — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 – to shut up and do what you are told. I felt like meat. Since then, I have found my voice. Never again. #neverforget @katiexwright — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 Side note , I have shot the cover of “vanity fair” since and had a much different experience. It was quite lovely. ???? — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 I begged for pants. “@YouWonScience: @katiexwright I’m surprised any of you were allowed to wear pants, ridiculous” — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 15, 2014 I think when you are young and inexperienced and shy you can be bullied more. I learned to say no. @rachelm97x — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 16, 2014 To all the haters. I am not complaining about being on the cover of vanity fair. I understand I am very privileged and there are far worse– — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 18, 2014 – thing to go through. My point was that things arent always what they seem. Especially in this industry. What may seem glamorous– — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 18, 2014 –sometimes comes at a price. I only want to encourage other young girls to stay true to who they are. No matter what. Hold on to your self. — Evan Rachel Wood (@evanrachelwood) October 18, 2014 Okay, look. I get her point — young women are often exploited in Hollywood, and that sucks, and it isn’t all wonderfully glamorous. But I guess I’m a “hater”, because I really don’t see the point in complaining about a magazine shoot you did over a decade ago. I’m so sorry that Ms. Wood’s great struggle of flats vs. heels was so damaging that it still bothers her. I doubt Vanity Fair will ask her to ever do another shoot after this. But this is just my own opinion, and her comments, while rubbing me the wrong way, may ring true and inspiring to someone else, and I’m okay with that. Whatever works for you. P.S. Can we talk about the awful and ugly dress they put Mandy Moore in? That’s the real shame here. Follow us on Twitter | Facebook
