Former actress Dawn Dunning testified in Harvey Weinstein’s Manhattan rape and sexual-assault trial Wednesday morning that he touched her genitals without consent during a meeting and later offered her movie roles in exchange for a “threesome.” While Weinstein is not charged with the alleged assault of Dunning, she is the first witness called to testify about prior bad acts. Prosecutors, who plan on calling two more such witnesses, cannot use their testimony to argue that Weinstein has a bad character or a tendency to behave this way, but these witnesses’ testimony can be used to show things such as opportunity and intent.

Art Donaldson attends Met Gala 2024. Mike Faist, one-third of the Challengers throuple, made his Met Gala debut with his date, a mysterious root vegetable. “But it’s radish!” “No, it’s a turnip!” The leaves on his bedazzled brooch scream radish, but the bulb yells turnip. Vulture tried to ask Faist what veggie adorned him on the red carpet, but he had no response for our social media editor.

What kinda pirate has a friend? This kinda pirate. The boundary between movies and TV has become increasingly porous over the past decade or so, and for an auteur with an adaptable but identifiable style, the small screen can be a doorway to new stories and new possibilities. With his expanding TV empire, director, writer, actor, and executive producer Taika Waititi has strolled right through it. Waititi stepped into mainstream success after 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok was critically and commercially well-received, and since then, his choices as a TV executive producer have furthered the motivations and motifs he first developed as an indie film writer and director, narratives that bounce between irreverence and melancholy, and that feature inclusive casts in which unique singularities are celebrated.

Not interested in risking infection to see a Christopher Nolan movie at the theater? Thankfully, you can read spoilers from the safety of your home. It feels strange to be worrying about spoilers for a movie that was supposed to come out more than a month ago. Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, which was originally scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, kept on getting its release pushed back and delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Last month, a trio of movies set in the not-too-distant past hit theaters chock-full of era-appropriate songs. Anchorman 2 had a list of ironically used seventies soft-rock jams and classic-rock staples; American Hustle went back and forth between classy, jazzy instrumentals and intensely seventiesrock and disco hits; and The Wolf of Wall Street was just all over the place, as Martin Scorsese movies usually are. Some of the choices were inspired, some were visceral, some were predictable and tired, and some lyrics were painfully on the nose: But which soundtrack was best?

Most of these people are related by blood and marriage. Seven kingdoms, one Iron Throne, and a whole lot of people with odd names to keep track of: That was the formula for Game of Thrones. Now House of the Dragon, HBO’s blockbuster prequel to its most successful series of all time, is following suit. The good news for fans of the world created by novelist George R.R. Martin is that Dragon features way fewer houses to keep track of; it tells the tale of a budding conflict and eventual civil war within the ruling family of House Targaryen itself.

Andy Warhol’s Green Car Crash.Photo by AFP / Getty Images When Andy Warhol’s Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I) hit the block at Christie’s, experts thought the auction house’s estimate — $25 to $35 million — was optimistic. Warhol’s previous auction record was $17.38 million, but more to the point, would buyers want such a grisly image on their living-room wall? As art consultant Sandy Heller told ABC News, “It’s hard to put an image of an impaled figure in a burning car in a home where you have little kids.

Game of Thrones isn’t the first show to try to liven up its occasionally burdensome explanations with a little nudity, but boy oh boy, do the seven kingdoms love it.

Leah McSweeney in RHONY. It’s getting real. Last year, former Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel suggested it was time for a “reckoning” in reality TV, calling for stars to unionize for better treatment. There may be no union yet, but there are plenty of lawsuits, and their complaints run the gamut from villain edits to one contestant being forced to bake a pie the day she had a stroke.
