Rachel Leviss, the former star of Vanderpump Rules, is suing her costars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix.
Sandoval and Madix face a lawsuit from Leviss for revenge porn, eavesdropping and emotional distress. The filing states that Sandoval obtained footage of Leviss engaging in sexual acts without her consent and distributed it to others.
The video played a prominent part in the last season of the show.
Leviss also said Bravo and Evolution media, Vanderpump Rules‘ producing network, prohibited Leviss from publicly talking about the issue.
Dubbed “Scandoval,” a play-on of Sandoval’s name, the scandal stems from a seven-month-long affair between Leviss and Sandoval. Sandoval was in a relationship with Madix at the time.
“Scandoval” became a storyline on the show during Season 10. Leviss left the show after the tenth season wrapped up.
When the scandal went public, Leviss said she went through “severe emotional distress, physical manifestations of emotional distress,...

Porn icon Rocco Siffredi claims that after making roughly 1,400 hardcore films — with titles like “The Ass Collector” and “Rocco’s Perfect Slaves” — over the past four decades, he has finally found “the peace of his senses.”
“I could crack a bad joke and say I can’t get it up anymore,” says Siffredi, 59, speaking on a video call from the Budapest office of his Rocco Siffredi Production company, which houses the Siffredi Hard Academy, touted as the world’s first “university of porn.”
“But that’s not the case. Quite the contrary,” the hardworking “Italian Stallion” hastens to add. I’ve asked Siffredi about being — or having notoriously been — a sex addict. And the many times he’s announced his retirement as a porn performer, only to make another comeback.
“I have to tell you that it was a mix of problems connected with my personal life and the dependency that this job,...

Ask most 20-year-old women about their celebrity crushes, and you’ll likely hear a name along the lines of Harry Styles or Timothée Chalamet. Not Olivia Rodrigo. Record shopping with Vogue to promote her upcoming sophomore album Guts, the young pop superstar revealed that’s she’s got her eye on Bruce Springsteen.
Rodrigo got on the topic of The Boss after discovering a live album of his from 1984. “He’s my biggest celebrity crush of all time,” she announced upon detection. Dubbed Porn In The USA, the record featured Springsteen in a sweatband and t-shirt emblazoned with the words, “Warning! This record contains noises of an explicit nature that may be offensive and should not be played in the presence of minors.” Naturally, Rodrigo concluded, “Yeah, you’re coming home with me.”
Springsteen may not be every Gen Zer’s crush, but Rodrigo has made it clear that she has a wide-ranging music taste.

Diplo is opening up about his sexuality, though he doesn’t want to “define” it.
The famed DJ admitted that he isn’t “aroused by men that much,” but told Emily Ratajkowski during Tuesday’s episode of her “High Low” podcast that he’s confident he’s received oral sex from a guy in the past.
“I’m sure I’ve gotten a blow job from a guy before. … For sure. 100 [percent], yeah,” he seemed to recount.
When asked if he’s speaking about a specific memory, Diplo, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, was reluctant to provide details.

“I’ve gotten a lot of blow jobs, but I don’t know,” the 44-year-old responded. “I mean, getting a blow job is not that gay, I think.”
“I don’t know. You tell me?” Ratajkowski replied with a laugh.

The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has already turned up some gold, of the comedy variety.
Late-night comics Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Trevor Noah took their turns poking fun at the twice-impeached former president, finding common ground in the sheer number of Trump-related investigations. Said Noah on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, “This raid has nothing to do with January 6th or tax fraud or giving the White House plumber Ptsd.” Referencing a ubiquitous comedian, Noah continued, “I’m amazed that Trump has time for all of these crimes….He’s like the Steve Harvey of crime.”
Over on NBC’s The Tonight Show, Fallon took a similar approach: “You know that you’ve done some shady stuff when the FBI shows up and you’re like ‘And which investigation is this regarding? Oh, right this way, right this way.’” He followed that with a...

People can't seem to get enough of James Gunn's superhero show about John Cena's "Peacemaker," a series that effortlessly incorporates a world needing hi-tech laboratories, white-trash white supremacy dens from the 1980s, maximalist trailer homes, secret task force vehicles, and fully-furnished apartments belonging to hot babes possessed by butterfly aliens. The attention to detail paid by the production team of "Peacemaker" is incredible, and just about every object, record sleeve, poster, and product label is meant to push the story forward or give deeper insight to the characters. During a recent interview with "Peacemaker" production designer Lisa Soper, we found out that even Peacemaker's...

Berlinale 2021: Radu Jude has picked up the Golden Bear, with Mr Bachmann and His Class also getting some love. Underlining the fact that it is, in fact, not the end, but just the beginning for the 71st edition of the Berlinale, which is still counting on showing its full programme to audiences in person in Berlin come June, artistic director Carlo Chatrian invited his jurors to announce their decision on 5 March, thus rounding off the first part of the event held online for the industry and press.

As his old compatriots dabble in as far flung places as comic noirs (The Whistlers) and über-dense period symposiums (Malmkrog), it’s interesting that Radu Jude has lately emerged as the most contemporary minded of Romania’s great generation of filmmakers. Even when dabbling in the past his films are intrinsically linked to the here and now. In attempting to address the current moment, his latest, titled Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, is amongst the first of what can only be a limited amount of significant films to be made both in and of the pandemic.
It premiered at the online Berlin Film Festival and it’s pleasing to think of couch-bound film critics across the globe scrambling for their television remotes as Jude’s film opens on an amateur hardcore porn video. Alas, had it been in a cinema it would have brought the house down.

A high school teacher and her husband make a sex tape, which finds its way onto the internet, sparking outrage among her pupils’ parents, in Romanian director Radu Jude’s irreverent contemporary satire, “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn.” Jude pitched the project, then simply known as “Sleepwalkers,” at Berlin’s European Film Market in February 2020, and rather than scrap plans once the pandemic hit, he opted to embrace safety protocols and make the film anyway, delivering in time for the 2021 Berlinale. That makes this provocative and unapologetically profane Buñuelian prank one of the first examples of a genuine auteur work to emerge in a world upended by Covid-19, and it should get plenty of (virtual) festival play as a result.
Shooting mostly outdoors (where billboards stand as ironic reminders of pre-pandemic human desires) and incorporating such details as social distancing and personal protective equipment add of-the-moment texture to this absurdist time capsule.

Opening with a very real-looking hardcore sex tape, and climaxing with a deranged orgy featuring super-sized dildos, Romanian writer-director Radu Jude’s latest taboo-busting polemical comedy is refreshingly untroubled by tasteful restraint. Shot during Covid lockdown last summer, with cast and crew all wearing anti-viral masks, the snappily titled Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is a scattershot attack on sexual hysteria and political hypocrisy in an era of online slut-shaming. The humor is broad, the satirical targets many, the overall effect mixed.

Spoiler Alert: The following piece has spoilers pertaining to tonight’s season 2 finale of HBO’s The Deuce, “Inside the Pretend”.
At a time when the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements are raising global awareness about women’s issues including sexual harassment, violence and female equality, HBO’s porn-industry drama series The Deuce walks a tightrope.
To call the series audacious in regards to its presence on TV amid today’s zeitgeist would be an understatement, both in the show’s drama and behind-the-scenes dilemma.
