Harvey Weinstein ‘seriously contemplating' testifying at own rape trial
Harvey Weinstein is deliberating whether to take the stand as his trial on rape and criminal sexual charges winds down. "We're going to make a game time decision," his lawyer, Arthur Aidala, told reporters outside the courtroom on Thursday. Weinstein did not testify as part of his 2020 trial in New York, nor did he testify at his California case for sexual assault. Aidala noted that the decision to testify is ultimately up to his client and that one of his partners had spent the majority of the past weekend prepping Weinstein for possibly taking the stand.

Miley Cyrus shades ex Liam Hemsworth with brutal move
Miley Cyrus couldn't help but shade her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, while signing autographs for fans. A fan who shares the same first name as the Hunger Games actor took to X on Wednesday to gush about the singer signing a vinyl copy of her new album, Something Beautiful. 'Miley writing 'the Best Liam' on my vinyl,' the fan wrote, sharing a photo of the vinyl as proof. Cyrus had written the message along the top left-hand corner of the vinyl in black cursive. The fan then posted a picture with the pop star at the singing, captioning it, 'me when I'm the best Liam.' Page Six has reached out to Hemsworth for comment but did not immediately hear back. After dating for over a decade, Hemsworth, 35, and Cyrus, 32, secretly tied the knot in December 2018. However, less than a year later, the Wrecking Ball singer shocked Hollywood and fans alike when she announced they were separating. The Killerman actor proceeded to file for divorce days later, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause of the split. By January 2020, Hemsworth and Cyrus' divorce was finalised. While the former Disney star has remained mum about the demise of their relationship, she called their whirlwind marriage a 'f**king disaster' while performing at Lollapalooza in 2022. 'Honey, I hope your marriage goes better than mine,' Cyrus also told a couple who had gotten engaged during the music festival. 'Mine was a f**king disaster!' The Party in the U.S.A. singer is now dating Liily drummer Maxx Morando, while her ex-husband has been with model Gabriella Brooks since late 2019. The Australian couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere for the actor's movie Poker Face in November 2022.

Under prosecution questioning, she was accused of lying about a cancer diagnosis because she anticipated her in-laws wouldn't survive the meal, and therefore be able to hold her accountable.
