Harvey Weinstein admits he 'definitely made a pass' at Gwyneth Paltrow but denies assault
broke his silence from prison to insist he only 'made a pass' at Gwyneth Paltrow and 'didn't put my hands on her'. The disgraced Hollywood executive continued to claim he never assaulted the actress or committed any of the crimes of which he has been convicted. He is currently facing a retrial on multiple sex assault charges. Speaking to Candace Owens, the 73-year-old gripped the telephone close to his ear as he defiantly demanded a lie detector test in an effort to restore his reputation. 'I did not commit these crimes. I swear that before God and the people watching now and on my family,' Harvey said in the short trailer for his interview with Owens. Weinstein named several of his victims in the snippet, including Paltrow, Charmed star Rose McGowan, and actress Ashley Judd. Despite his full denial moments prior, Weinstein told Owens 'I definitely made a pass' at Paltrow. But he was adamant that nothing untoward happened. He said: 'It's a complete fabrication about my relationship with Gwyneth. I didn't put my hands on her. I didn't touch her.' Paltrow accused him of sexually harassing her in his hotel suite when she was just 22, after casting her in the lead role of the 1996 hit Emma. 'It was weird,' she said. 'I was alone in a room with him. It was out of the blue. I was blindsided. I was shocked.' McGowan claimed that Weinstein orally raped her after she was cast in Scream in 1997. Weinstein told Owens: 'I settled with Rose McGowan. I gave her $100,000, don't tell my wife, don't get me into trouble. It's all conflated, and it's all led to the idea that I'm going to be the one they persecute.' Weinstein was married to fashion designer Georgina Chapman from 2003 to 2021. She is now dating Oscar winner Adrien Brody. But Weinstein offered no concessions on Judd's claims that he sexually harassed her, telling Owens: 'Ashley Judd's claims are ridiculous.' The full episode has been released to Candace's subscribers, with a guarantee of 'explosive' revelations. Owens said that looking at Weinstein's case 'made [her] lose faith in the judicial system' and has been an outspoken supporter of his case. 'I don't think Harvey is a moral man, I just also do not believe that he is a rapist.' In total, 60 women came forward with harrowing allegations against Weinstein. He was convicted of various sex crimes in both New York and California. But he's on trial again because an appeals court found that his New York trial was tainted by prejudicial testimony and overturned that conviction. Weinstein became a symbol of sexual misconduct after media reports revealed allegations against him in 2017 and fueled the #MeToo movement. 'They broke me,' Weinstein said. 'They broke me in half.' Weinstein maintained he had steadfast supporters outside of prison who 'support me but are scared to talk'. He said: 'They are frightened to death that they're going to be canceled... I've asked to have lie detectors brought into the prison. 'I know they're not admissible, but I want the world to know.' Weinstein is currently being retried in New York after an appeals court ruled he did not receive a fair trial when he was convicted in 2020. The 73-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and maintains he never sexually assaulted or raped anyone. Defense lawyer Arthur Aidala told the primarily female jury: 'The casting couch is not a crime scene.' He compared prosecutors' allegations to the preview of a movie that 'falls flat on its face'.

The meaning behind Cannes' 'naked dress' red-carpet ban
There's complex etiquette and a rich history behind the French film festival's red-carpet ban of "naked" or "voluminous" dressing. We decipher the "decency" dress code of the Cannes Film Festival in 2025. That most rigid of red carpets just got a little bit more rigid – on Tuesday, the Cannes Film Festival announced that: "for decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival." It feels striking because naked dresses have become such a red-carpet staple in recent years, including at Cannes. Last year, for instance, the supermodel Bella Hadid wore a 10-denier Saint Laurent halter neck dress, while over the years stars from Isabelle Huppert, Naomi Campbell and Kendal Jenner have all opted for the oxymoronic trend. Landing at a time when there is a rise in cultural conservatism, it feels in keeping with an uptick in the policing of women's bodies – in this instance, in the name of "decency". "God forbid someone serves a nipple," wrote Boring Not Com, an anonymous account famous in fashion circles, on Instagram – continuing, "the quiet return of conservatism is real". For some, including Rose McGowan, so-called naked dressing is about empowerment. And many observers also pointed out glaring double standards. "Bare skin is banned on the carpet, yet once inside, it's right there on the screen. Almost always female, of course," wrote Boring Not Com. "Let's not forget, this is the same festival that turned women away for wearing flats in 2015. All while still rolling out the red carpet for Roman Polanski [who in 1978 fled the US ahead of sentencing for the rape of a minor]." Other commentators made the wider point that Cannes is home to another famous – paradoxical – rule defining what women wear: the 2016 burkini ban, which decreed that Muslim women wearing burkinis could be a threat to public order. "A woman dressing modestly and covering her head for religious reasons is not allowed and a woman in a sheer dress is also seen as 'indecent'. You need to dress conservatively but not too conservatively. It's a lose-lose situation," wrote Shahed Ezaydi in Stylist. But the festival ban does not stop at nudity, also decreeing that "voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted". It strikes at the heart of the question: what is the red carpet actually for? What – or rather who – people are wearing has been an essential question ever since Joan Rivers first framed it as such on the Golden Globes red carpet in 1994. In more recent years, red carpets have been likened to enormous adverts; marketing exercises where celebrities get paid big money to wear a certain designer's work, arguably shifting the focus from the films to the fashion. In many cases – the Met Gala being the most extreme example – they have become a platform for increasingly dramatic sartorial spectacles intended to garner as much attention as possible; big trains, it turns out, do exactly that. Whether that is a good or bad thing is subjective. But Cannes has arguably remained a little different. According to one fashion insider, quoted in the Guardian in 2023, "the main US awards are more heavily financially backed – with fees of $100k+ [£75.4k+] for a red carpet look – so there is so much more pressure". In contrast, "at Cannes, there is less obligation [to wear certain brands and certain things]". Although Cannes is to thank for some of the sartorial freedom, this is perhaps part of the problem, too. The French festival has become an unofficial fashion week. For many, the blockbusting fashion is now almost as noteworthy as the films themselves. For a festival that takes its film very seriously, this must gall. But for others, who perhaps hold a more generous view of the artistry of fashion, that isn't the most salient point. Given the announcement about the banning was made just a day before the festival, when outfits will have been being planned for months, some commentators spared a thought for fashion industry workers. "Thoughts and prayers to all the stylists," wrote style writer Louis Pisano on Instagram. "It is a low blow," said Besovic. "It shows how much you don't respect the people who are attending your festival… especially the stylists… You couldn't have done this two months ago?" Halle Berry, herself a fan of a naked dress on the red carpet, has already fallen foul – she reportedly had a voluminous dress planned that she now "can't wear because the train is too big". However, the US star added: "I had to make a pivot. But the nudity part I do think is probably also a good rule." For some, though, the side of the ban dealing with volume makes more sense than the nudity. As Cannes veteran Pisano described, speaking to Vogue Business, in recent years the carpet has been overwhelmed with influencers intentionally wearing the "craziest, most insane, biggest thing they can find… They take up the most space on the red carpet and," with thousands of people needing to get into the cinemas, "everybody gets clogged up". This is not the first time the Cannes Film Festival has implemented a ban designed to speed things up. In 2018, the festival's artistic director, Thierry Frémaux, banned the selfie, telling Le Film Français magazine that, "on the red carpet, the trivial aspect and the slowing down provoked by the disorder which these selfies create tarnishes the quality of [the red-carpet experience] and of the festival as a whole". So will Cannes really police this ban? While the festival has outlined that "welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red-carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules," it remains to be seen how evenly that will be enforced. Because, despite setting such strict guidelines in the past, it hasn't always been democratically good at applying them. In 1953, Pablo Picasso obtained special dispensation to wear a sheepskin coat in violation of the evening dress code. A journalist the same year was given no such privilege. On another occasion, no such allowances were made for Henry Miller, who, in 1960, refused to obey the code and, despite being a member of the jury, was turned away from the opening evening because he wasn't wearing a dinner jacket. The fact that all of this information is courtesy of the Cannes Festival website hints that there is at least some pride in creating a fuss via a dress code that they know full well a few will choose – and fewer will be allowed – to flaunt. "Rumour has it," according to Style Not Come, that "it won't apply to the real stars of the carpet. The models and brand ambassadors who show up for the photo op, skip the screening and slip out the back. Which, let's be honest, is most of them." More likely is that a few influencers, wearing dresses the size of Citroën cars, will be shown the red carpet off-ramp. If history tells us anything, those who do disobey and get away with it will be judged kindly in the public eye. Because disobeying a dress code considered to be draconian, snobbish or patriarchal has in the past amassed kudos for Hollywood stars who, in that moment, signal their approachability. Take Julia Roberts, who went barefoot in 2016, a year after flat shoes were disallowed. The move won her the title of "America's sweetheart" in Vanity Fair. Then in 2018 Kristen Stewart kicked off her Louboutins on the red carpet, having previously said to the Hollywood Reporter: "If you're not asking guys to wear heels and a dress, you cannot ask me either." Will those freeing the nipple – and getting away with it – receive similar praise? -- If you liked this story sign up for The Essential List newsletter, a handpicked selection of features, videos and can't-miss news, delivered to your inbox twice a week.

Iconic 90s actress gives rare update on life in Mexico five years after fleeing Hollywood
Rose McGowan has shared an update on her life in Mexico, where she's lived since she fled Hollywood during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The 51-year-old actress — who rose to fame with roles in Scream and Charmed —flew back to the states for 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut. While chatting on a panel with former co-star Holly Marie Combs, Rose dished on how she's faring in Yucatán. 'My father lived in Mexico for 35 years. It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There's so much joy,' she stated, according to an account from People. She added, 'My favorite word in Spanish is alegría, which means joy, and there's so much of that there, and color and passion and fun.' The silver screen siren also described the Latin American country as 'just different.' Before leaving Hollywood for a more relaxed lifestyle, she had been a prominent voice in the #MeToo movement, which saw movie mogul Harvey Weinstein brought to justice for sexual violence against women. Looking back, Rose shared during the 90s Con conversation, 'I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might.' 'There's a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen,' she reflected, adding, 'I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk.' The actress acknowledged that her move hasn't been all smooth sailing. 'There's things about it that are difficult, just like anywhere, and it's certainly a challenge sometimes, doing things when, at first, you don't really know the language,' she admitted. 'You're navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though,' she noted. Taking to Instagram in May, where she engages 866,000 followers, McGowan uploaded a photo of herself wearing a leopard print mini dress in Guadalajara. On Thursday Rose posted an Instagram video driving a cart around Home Depot as she revealed a black boot on her foot due to some kind of injury. She didn't explain what happened, but wrote in a playful caption: 'I can still drive at Home Depot' And on Thursday she posted a brief snippet driving a cart around Home Depot as she revealed a black boot on her foot due to some kind of injury.

Appearing on The Dab Roast, she stated: 'I just got my permanent residency card from Mexico, and I'm so grateful to have it. This is a really healing land here and it is truly magical.' She had previously announced online, 'I'm in a place called Coba (on the Yucatan peninsula). 'I knew [Covid-19] was going to get really bad in America and I had a moment to figure out where I wanted to be. My lease was up in New York so I came here to Mexico where I'm living for a third of the price. It's beautiful here.' S

Rose McGowan quit acting career for 'silence' away from Hollywood, Entertainment News
Rose McGowan quit her acting career because she wanted "silence" away from Hollywood. The 51-year-old star played Paige Matthews on the hit series Charmed but moved to Mexico in 2020 after realising that she could do what her character did in terms of activism in her real life and wanted to "listen" to others. Speaking as part of a panel at 90s Con in Connecticut, she said: "My father lived in Mexico for 35 years and mi gusta Mexico. Te quiero much, mi amores. It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There's so much joy. "My favourite word in Spanish is alegria, which means joy, and there's so much of that there and colour and passion and fun and different... just different. And you know I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might. "At one point, you know, as Paige was a social worker and I was raised in a commune growing up in Italy to be kind of a volunteer, and I kind of thought, 'Well, I can also do this in real life. Away from this.' "There's a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen. I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk." The Scream actress does find it a "challenge" to be living somewhere where she isn't fluent in the language but has always been of an "adventurous" nature and recently embraced the idea of going to the "most remote location" she could find. She said: "There are things about it that are difficult, just like anywhere, and it's certainly a challenge sometimes, doing things when, at first, you don't really know the language. You're navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though. "I like adventure. I've kind of always been the adventurous sort. I always kind of lived in dense areas, so at one point I went to like the most remote location in this area in Mexico that I'm at. It was just me and my dog and a metal pipe for a shower. "That was it, and I was grateful, right? And the gratitude that you feel for smaller things, because you have to fight for them and you appreciate them!"
