Here’s a quick piece of troubling Harvey Weinstein news: his lawyers have asked a judge to “throw out” a lawsuit filed by Ashley Judd earlier this year in which she claims Weinstein “dissuaded” Peter Jackson from casting her in The Lord of the Rings as a punishment for refusing his prior sexual advances.
Harvey Weinstein turned himself in to the NYPD on Friday for charges of rape, a criminal sex act, sex abuse and sexual misconduct. He was released within a few hours on $1 million bail. One of his alleged victims, Annabella Sciorra, writes that seeing him heading to court brought her “no relief.”
Ashley Judd has filed a lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein, saying he damaged her career by spreading lies about her after she refused his advances. As she told ABC:
In an interview with the New Zealand website Stuff, director Peter Jackson said that in the process of pitching his Lord of the Rings series in the late 1990s, Harvey Weinstein told him to not work with Mira Sorvino or Ashley Judd, two women we now know were sexually harassed by the producer.
Because Harvey Weinstein has long used his money and bigscreen sway to prop up prominent Democrats, conservative pundits are rejoicing a victory, a victory of #principles.

PHILADELPHIA — Because of traffic following President Obama’s speech at the Wells Fargo Arena, celebrity guests didn’t arrive at the red carpet of the Creative Coalition Gala featuring Fergie until nearly 1 a.m. The few attending reporters and photographers stared tiredly at each other while we waited, downing vodka…
Showering. We all do it! Well, some of us take baths, and some of us don’t wash at all, but I guess most of us do! Some of us even like to shower with others, despite the fact that it’s a clunky, dangerous, and shiver-inducing activity. But there are some of us—many of whom have big offices in Los Angeles—who only…

Sources close to the…
Ashley Judd was under a microscope during a 90-minute appearance at a George Washington University student forum, ostensibly to speak about public health but, for all practical purposes, to continue establishing herself as a serious candidate to challenge Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell next year in Kentucky.
Many liberals think Ashley Judd shouldn't challenge Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell for his seat in 2014 because there's no way she'll win. But it's pretty entertaining to watch Republicans try and come up with creative ways to run her out of the state before she's even in the running.
Why do we care whether Ashley Judd decides to run against Kentucky Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014? Duh: she's a celebrity, and we care more about what celebs do even if they're "just like us," which they are not.
Ashley Judd, staunch feminist and delightful human being, is still just barely "mulling" a 2014 senate run against Kentucky Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Cliff's Notes: It is currently February of 2013)—but that didn't stop conservative Super PAC American Crossroads from firing up a big dorky…
