An ailing Harvey Weinstein got a legal victory Thursday when he was approved to transfer out of Rikers Island and into the prison ward at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital to receive necessary medical treatment.
Judge Paul Goetz approved the defamed studio executive’s request late Thursday and ruled that Weinstein can stay in the hospital for the remainder of his rape retrial.
Judge Curtis Farber will preside over Weinstein’s retrial, which kicked off with jury selection this week. That process will pick up again Monday after nine jurors were successfully selected; 12 are needed in all with six additional alternates.
Weinstein’s legal team urgently appealed for his Bellevue transfer on the second day of jury selection, arguing that conditions in the notorious city jail are worsening Weinstein’s growing list of dire health issues.

Former Republican Representative Liz Cheney is going after Donald Trump in a new ad, which is scheduled to air in New Hampshire ahead of CNN’s town hall with Trump on Wednesday. The pointed minute-long commercial calls out Trump’s involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and claims that “there has never been a greater dereliction of duty by any president.”
“Donald Trump has proven he is unfit for office. Donald Trump is a risk America can never take again,” Cheney says in the final seconds of the commercial.
The ad switches between clips of Trump and the Jan. 6 riots as Cheney provides a voiceover. “Donald Trump is the only president in American history who has refused to guarantee the peaceful transfer of power. He betrayed millions of Americans by telling them the election was stolen. He ignored the rulings of dozens of courts,” Cheney says.

Corey Feldman continues to receive harassment in the lead up to releasing his provocative new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys, which promises to expose prominent pedophiles still working in Hollywood. Last night, Feldman found a suspicious package on his doorstep, which led him to contact law enforcement.
While the actor/musician has been getting a lot of positive attention over the past several weeks, he has also been dealing with online harassment, along with threats to end his life. Feldman currently has a pretty extensive security team in place to protect his family, and is surrounded by armed guards 24/7. But not even they can prevent people from leaving packages at his personal residence. So whoever this is obviously knows Corey and where he lives.
Corey Feldman came home last night to find what appears to be a book or calendar on wolf packs. While this may look like...

A French actress accused director Roman Polanski on Friday of raping her at a ski chalet in Gstaad, Switzerland, in 1975.
Valentine Monnier told Le Parisien that the director violently raped her when she was 18 years old. The publication also spoke with several people who offered corroboration, saying she had told them of the incident shortly afterward.
Polanski is not facing any legal action in France over this alleged rape since the country has a 20-year statute of limitations. But Monnier said she was moved to speak out now due to the release of Polanski’s latest film, “An Officer and a Spy” (“J’Accuse”), which hits theaters in France next week, where Gaumont will give it a wide release. The movie world premiered at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize and earned mostly positive reviews.
“Rape is a time bomb,” she told the publication.

[Editor’s note: The following post contains spoilers for “Game of Thrones” Season 8.]
The final season of “Game of Thrones” proved to be the most polarizing run of episodes the show has ever seen. Each week a different plot twist or story development provoked outrage from “Thrones” fans, whether it was Arya losing her virginity to Gendry, Missandei being executed by Cersei, or Daenerys burning King’s Landing to the ground. The backlash resulted in an online petition requesting a Season 8 remake. The petition, which blasted “Thrones” creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff as “incompetent writers,” went viral with over 1.2 million signatures and counting. In a post-finale interview with The New York Times, Sophie Turner put the petition on blast.
“All of these petitions and things like that — I think it’s disrespectful to the crew, and the writers, and the filmmakers who have worked tirelessly over 10 years, and for 11 months shooting the last season,” Turner said. “Like 50-something night shoots.

Bree and Roger reunite, but the honeymoon period is short-lived when Roger's controlling behavior rears its ugly head.
This Outlander review contains spoilers.
Outlander Season 4, Episode 8
The theme of tonight's episode of Outlander--or at least the Brianna portion of the hour--is that men are different degrees of garbage. Obviously, it's more nuanced than that. This show has a lot of positive representations of men and masculinity, but it's also a show that understands how power imbalances, especially when it comes to gender, can manifest in a myriad of abuses.
Outlander has always been a show that is interested in exploring abuse of power as a theme. We see it in its critiques of English rule and colonisalism, and we see it in its stories of sexual violence. "Wilmington" was one such story. Rape isn't about sex; it's about power. When Stephen Bonnet rapes Brianna, it isn't because he likes...
