Rose heeft in een inteview laten weten dat ze denkt dat Harvey Weinstein niet zal worden vervolgt voor alle seksuele beschuldigen. Hierbij benoemd dat ze dat dit komt door de manier waar op het juridische systeem in Amerika is opgezet. Wel laat ze weten opgelucht te zijn dat mensen haar nu geloven.

– Rose McGowan always warned Harvey Weinstein she would “come for” him.

The Charmed actress previously agreed to take a sum of money from the disgraced movie producer in exchange for her silence over allegations he raped her, but she has admitted she asked for the money in an attempt to publicly shame him but never signed a non-disclosure agreement and vowed to speak out if she heard he’d subjected other women to similar ordeals.

She said: “There’s a misnomer that I was offered money – I requested money. I requested, bless my young heart, thought $100,000 was very much a lot of money, and enough to buy a billboard which I tried to buy it to say, ‘Harvey Weinstein is a rapist’, but they shut me down, surprisingly.

“And I was like, OK I never signed a non-disclosure agreement. I said if I hear of you doing this to another woman I will come for you. And it was 20 years ago and so I set about doing exactly what I said I would do.”

Though the 44-year-old actress has seen dozens of accusations made against Weinstein in the last six months, it’s taken her until now to feel a “true weight” has lifted and he won’t be making a Hollywood comeback.

Speaking on UK TV show Good Morning Britain, she said: “It was actually only recently, about two weeks ago, when the Weinstein Company declared bankruptcy that I felt the true weight lift, because it’s like this multi-headed hydra, this monster, and it kept trying to come back, and people kept trying to buy the company back for him, and I was like, no, you must stay down, it must show other people around the world that this can be done.

“It’s a relief, I suppose, to have people believe me, but I’ve operated and been slandered, and disliked, and maligned for no other reason than he [Weinstein] purchased press all over the world to do so, for 20-years.”

However, McGowan doesn’t believe Weinstein will ever face legal action for his alleged crimes.

She said: “I think you have to understand the judicial system is completely stacked against victims in any way, shape or form, in that most people cannot, in fact, seek justice that way. I think there should be specially trained police officers, and justices, and judges, that are specifically trained in sexual assault, sexual harassment and abuse, so they can understand it more. Right now, it’s going into regular court systems…It’s deeper than what it looks like on the surface, and I don’t think Harvey Weinstein will ever be prosecuted for any rapes.”

Rose heeft in een interview laten weten dat ze 20 jaar geleden van plan was om Harvey Weinstein al te onthullen als verkrachter. Ze was van plan een Billboard te kopen waarop zou staan dat hij een verkrachter was, helaas werd te hierin tegengehouden waardoor het niet lukte.

“I wanted to buy a billboard that said he was a rapist. I thought that was the best way of telling people since nobody was listening to me, and nobody was helping me, and shockingly enough, I was not allowed to do that by the billboard company, but that was my intention,”

Alyssa heeft laten weten niet te zitten met het commentaar dat Rose had over haar deelname aan de #MeToo campangne. Ze noemde Alyssa hierbij een leugen, waarbij ze doelde dat Alyssa’s man onderdeel van het probleem was omdat hij een Hollywood agent van de CAA is. En volgens Rose is CAA één van de redenen dat alle schandalen zolang geheim blijven. Alyssa laat nu weten dat ze Rose een prachtig persoon vindt die zoveel leed en pijn heeft meegemaakt en vanuit die pijn is gaan praten, en dat is is wat ze begrijpt. Ze laten weten er zich niet zoveel van aan te trekken, maar negatieve commentaar haar natuurlijk met momenten wel raakt. In eerdere interviews liet Alyssa al weten Rose te steunen in haar moedige strijd om zich uit te spreken over wat ze ze heeft meegemaakt.

She know’s how to shake it off. Alyssa Milano is no stranger to speaking her mind — or the backlash that can oftentimes come with it — and when Us Weekly caught up with her at the UNICEF Ball on Saturday, April 14, she opened up about how she deals with the haters, including fellow Charmed alum Rose McGowan.

Though the Brave author recently called the Project Runway All-Stars host “a lie” for her involvement with the Time’s Up movement, Milano tells Us that she doesn’t “see that as the same thing as hate.” She added, “I see that as a beautiful soul that was hurting so badly that she was talking from that hurt. And I understand.”

Alyssa is één van de initiefnemers die een campangne is begonnen tegen de politieke invloed die de National Rifle Association’s heeft in Amerkaanse politiek in de hoop zo het wapengeweld in Amerika te kunnen terug dringen. De campagne die ‘The No Rifle Association initiative (#NoRA)’ heeft in ondertekend door meer dan 130 beroemdheden en activisten. Sinds 1998 heeft de NRA meerdere donaties gedaan aan politieke kanditen en wet-makers. In 2016 doneerde ze $54 de presidentiële en congres campagnes tijdens de verkiezingen. Mede doordat de NRA in de politiek veel donaties doen is het lastig de politiek zelf te overtuigen om het wapenbeleid aan te passen omdat dit indirect ook zou betekenen dat ze minder donaties krijgen.

The new initiative aims to advocate for gun control and to chip away at the National Rifle Association’s political influence.
Less than a month after March for Our Lives events swept through American cities to protest gun violence, a group of Hollywood stars including Alyssa Milano, Amy Schumer and Alec Baldwin have partnered with Parkland, Fla., students, activists and policy experts to launch a new initiative aimed at advocating for gun control and reducing the political influence of the National Rifle Association.

The No Rifle Association initiative (#NoRA) announced its formation and goals in a letter to NRA executive vp Wayne LaPierre on Friday. It was signed by over 130 celebrities and activists including Parkland shooting survivors David Hogg and Cameron Kasky, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Ashley Judd, W. Kamau Bell, Don Cheadle, Minnie Driver, Jon Favreau, Nathan Fillion, Jordan Horowitz, Jimmy Kimmel, Julianne Moore, Michael Moore, Patton Oswalt, Annabella Sciorra, Jill Soloway, Amber Tamblyn and Constance Wu.

“We’re going to shine a bright light on what you and your organization do to America. We’re going to make sure the whole world sees your bloody hands. We’re coming for your money. We’re coming for your puppets. And we’re going to win,” the strongly worded letter announces.

Actrice Sarah Jeffery heeft afgelopen vrijdag op haar instagramstories laten weten dat de opnames van de pilot aflevering voor de ‘Charmed’ reboot series afgelopen zijn. Nu is het dus afwachten of de pilot goed wordt ontvangen door zender The CW zodat de serie er definitief komt. Dit zal nog wel enkele weken tot maanden duren voordat hier meer over bekend, mogelijk kan dit al tijdens de CW upfronts die gewoonlijk in mei plaatsvinden.

Mocht de serie definitief worden opgepakt dan zal ook alles rondom de nieuwe serie en de cast toegevoegd worden op de website.

Begin dit jaar was de eerste aflevering van Rose’s reality serie ‘Citizen Rose’ te zien op E! Entertainment. Zojuist in aangekondigd dat de serie dit voorjaar verder te zien zal zijn op de zender. Een precieze datum is nog niet gegeven.

Rose heeft een interview gehad met Dazed Magazine.

How Rose McGowan escaped the horror of Hollywood and then set it alight

“We have to look at the origin story and demolish it. The Bible, religion, and Hollywood.”

When she was a professional actor, Rose McGowan says she changed her voice for every role. For Charmed, the WB sitcom about witches that she starred in between 2001 and 2006, she adopts a high-pitched, girlish inflection. In the 1999 dark teen comedy Jawbreaker, she uses a more forthright tone that draws itself out from her chest, with a dash of sarcastic vocal fry.

On the audiobook version of her 2017 memoir Brave, she speaks in what she says is her real voice. It has a deeper resonance than she ever had in the movies, and reverberates with the memory of the traumatic experiences she describes. She tells of her neglectful parents, an abusive boyfriend, and her demeaning early experiences as a teenager in Hollywood. Most notoriously, she claims she was raped by movie producer Harvey Weinstein. (Weinstein has denied any accusations of non-consensual sex.) Occasionally, her voice shatters under the weight of her subject; but mostly, it’s a constant push forward, solid and unrelenting.

By McGowan’s account, the recording was made in a room with publishing representatives and an engineer, all of whom were deeply uncomfortable. She describes it when we meet on a bright March afternoon in a London coffee shop that overlooks the sparkling Thames – and a construction site. (McGowan quips knowingly, “I like beauty with a little brutality.”) I tell her that listening to the book has been an intense and moving experience. It’s often, if I’m honest, too much – but that reaction makes me question where that instinct to call her “too much” may come from. Victims of abuse are often made to feel they should keep their trauma to themselves, for the sake of decorum or comfort – it’s another way we re-victimise people who have suffered.

The TV shows I watched growing up will always have a special place in my heart and one of these is Charmed, the iconic fantasy drama revolving around the lives of three sister witches, the ‘Charmed Ones’, who tackle demons, warlocks, and the dating scene a decade before the invention of Tinder.

From the 90s fashion (these gals were sporting chokers when Kendall Jenner was still in babygrows) to the catchy soundtrack, I struggle to think of any show as bewitching, entertaining, and endearing as Charmed. It’s been almost 13 years since the final episode aired but that doesn’t make it any less relevant or entertaining in my eyes. If I happen to stumble upon an episode whilst flicking through the channels, I can kiss goodbye to my work for the next 40 minutes, and a Charmed mug is still nestled in my kitchen cupboard. However, in January, the CW, the US TV network behind the original series, announced that a reboot of Charmed is in the works which begs the question – can a reboot ever live up to the original?

My immediate response is no, never. There were so many unique ingredients that made the Charmed potion the roaring success that it was, and I vehemently doubt that any reboot could cast such a spell on its audience. What really ruffles my broomstick is that the CW has described the reboot as “fierce, funny, and feminist” which is nothing short of absurd. The original series was the definition of “fierce, funny, and feminist”. Until being usurped by Desperate Housewives in 2012, it was the longest-running TV show ever to feature an all-female lead cast and it projected a positive message to a generation of girls about independence, sisterhood, and girl power.

It was a magical portrayal of female relationships

The source of the witches’ powers was their sisterly bond, giving them the “Power of Three”, without which their powers were considerably weaker, highlighted in an episode which sees the sister witches completely lose their magic after using it against each other. It was a magical portrayal of female relationships; they not only loved each other but quite literally powered each other on, and I struggle to think of a better metaphor for strong women supporting strong women (may we know them, may we be them, may we watch them vanquish demons on TV).

On a more sartorial note, unlike other world-saving women in TV, Charmed’s Halliwell sisters didn’t sacrifice a morsel of femininity in their fight against evil. Each episode saw them getting down and dirty with demons and warlocks, but the risk of a little demon ichor didn’t stop them giving the Sex and the City fashionistas a run for their money with their kitten heels and lashings of lip gloss. Thus, they showed all female viewers that being a strong woman doesn’t mean toning down your feminine side (and gave everyone a lesson in how to rock a halter neck).

Not only did they have electric chemistry, these actresses each brought something special to the characters

Another aspect that gave Charmed the magic touch was its stars, who I believe are irreplaceable. Shannen Doherty, Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs portrayed sisters Prue, Phoebe, and Piper in the first three seasons, and Rose McGowan joined the cast in the fourth season as quirky Paige, replacing Doherty. Not only did they have electric chemistry, these actresses each brought something special to the characters; they were wildly different but equally lovable, hilarious, and, well, charming. They left the male stars in the (Book of) Shadows and I can’t see how any actresses could fill their designer boots.

Lastly, Charmed was entertaining in an often light-hearted, and sometimes-cheesy, way. Its story-a-week format allowed for a plethora of novelty episodes, from travelling back to the 1960s via a pair of crimson go-go boots to Phoebe becoming a mermaid, nobody could ever accuse the show of being boring and these wacky stories prevented it from becoming too moody, a gloomy path that many supernatural dramas take nowadays. I fear that the reboot will be too dark and angsty, subduing the fun spirit of the original series.

However, despite my hardcore wiccan-like worship of the original Charmed, I’ll still be tuning in when the reboot airs and I hope that I will be proven wrong. Its cast is more diverse which is obviously a good thing, and I hope that this modernity, alongside a touch of the traditional Charmed magic, will cast a spell for success that bewitches the world all over again.

Shannen Doherty blijft positief nadat ze de uitslag van haar laatste kankeronderzoek heeft ontvangen. De actrice (46) kreeg het resultaat van een onderzoek naar een mogelijke terugkeer van de ziekte.
Uit dat onderzoek blijkt dat er bij één test een tumormarker werd aangetroffen. Dit is een stof in het lichaam die kan duiden op de aanwezigheid van een tumor.

“Eén tumormarkertest kwam goed terug. De andere… Een verhoogd risico. Het betekent gewoon dat ik gecontroleerd word en nog een test krijg”, schrijft ze op Instagram. “Maar zelfs na die oproep blijf ik positief en maak ik de balans van mijn leven op.”

De Beverly Hills 90210-actrice schrijft dat de aanwezigheid van de marker niet per se op kanker hoeft te duiden, maar dat de uitslag haar laat focussen op wat belangrijk voor haar is. “Het helpt zeker om dingen in perspectief te plaatsen en herinnert je aan wat je hebt geleerd tijdens je reis. En ik heb soms een opfriscursus nodig”, vervolgt ze. “Zoals ik al eerder zei, verandert kanker je leven op een manier die niemand ooit zou kunnen bedenken.”

In 2015 werd bij Doherty borstkanker geconstateerd. Sindsdien deelt ze haar strijd tegen kanker met haar volgers op Instagram.

Shannen laat vandaag een zogenoemde tumor marker test te hebben gehad, hierbij zal d.m.v. een bloedtest gekeken worden of er teveel van bepaalde stoffen te zien zijn die kunnen duiden op kanker en dus in Shannen’s geval of deze terug is. Daarnaast laat ze ook een bottest doen. Alhoewel ze vorig jaar februari werd ze schoon verklaard van kanker blijft ze voor positief en wacht ze op de uitslag die nog moet volgen.

Went to doctor today for tumor marker test and bone density scan. Yes, that’s my mom… I figured why not. She got bone test done as well. I adore my doctor and all the great people who work there. But not going to lie, there is always anxiety waiting for test results to come back. Reoccurrences happen. And I can’t imagine how it must feel to beat back cancer only to have it return again. For now, I stay positive, stay healthy and do what I can to help promote research so that cancer can be beaten once and for all. I’ll keep you posted on my results. Btw… my mom is great! @su2c #theangelesclinic
