Amber Tamblyn Slams Rose McGowan for 'Shaming' Actresses Planning to Wear Black to the Golden Globes


Last Thursday various news outlets reported that the 2018 Golden Globes would be going dark, thanks to actresses who are reportedly planning to wear black in solidarity with sexual harassment victims. Although no stars (or their stylists) confirmed these reports, the rumors did not sit well with Rose McGowan, who took to Twitter over the weekend to criticize would-be protesters. “Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest,” she wrote in a since-deleted Tweet, according to Vanity Fair. “YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly & affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.” (Marchesa is the fashion brand founded by Georgina Chapman, Harvey Weinstein’s wife.)

Now Amber Tamblyn is calling out McGowan’s call-out tweet, telling her friend in a public thread that these comments are inappropriate. “THREAD: Rose McGowan is a friend and while I support her kind of movement, I do not support any woman (or man) shaming or taunting the movements of other women who are trying to create change,” she wrote on Monday. “Telling us to all wear Marchesa? This is beneath you, Rose.”

“You don’t have to support and stand with us, but we stand and support you,” Tamblyn continued. “You may take below-the-belt shots at us but we will not take them at you in return. Our movement is big. And a black dress is just the beginning of the darkness that will be drained from every industry across the country by the time we’re done. That’s a promise.”

She concluded the thread with a hashtag referencing the workplace sexual assault and harassment reforms that will hopefully take place in light of the #MeToo movement. “And we stand together in this fight, shoulder to shoulder, weapon to weapon, woman to woman (and man), body to burned body,” she tweeted. “And our arms are open. And our hearts two fold. And our fire will be a universal scorch. Heed the mantra: #ChangeIsComing.”

Both McGowan and Tamblyn have been outspoken figureheads of the #MeToo movement. McGowan went public accusing Harvey Weinstein of rape, while Tamblyn, in an open letter, accused actor James Woods of trying to pick her and a friend up when she was 16.

Other prominent women in the #MeToo movement have since weighed in on Tamblyn’s thread. Asia Argento, whose harrowing account of her alleged sexual assault at the hands of Weinstein was detailed in Ronan Farrow’s New Yorker story, tweeted, “I wish you’d have written this thread addressing it directly to @rosemcgowan, or even better, called or texted her, since you are friends.” “Asia, I did. I spoke to her for over an hour,” Tamblyn replied.

McGowan’s Charmed costar Holly Marie Combs also addressed Tamblyn. “You just did to @rosemcgowan what you claim you don’t support her doing to others,” she tweeted. “Every activist for every cause the world over has different methods but share a common and more important message that should remain the same. And undiluted above all else.”

Rose Gold Hair Is the Perfect Fall Update to a Huge Summer Hair Color Trend


Celebrities and Instagrammers alike were obsessed this summer with one of the season’s biggest hair color trends: stylish, vivacious pink. The love for pink champagne hair hit us all hard, and celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Keke Palmer and Ashley Benson embraced bright pink hair. But just because the weather’s changed—and along with it, a traditional foray into darker hair hues—doesn’t mean we have to give up pink: a trending metallic shade has inspired the perfect autumn update of summer’s favorite shade.

Rose gold is the more metallic, multi-dimensional version of the bubblegum pinks we saw during the summer. Rather than calling for hair to be bleached blond and then dyed light pink, this trend incorporates highlights and lowlights throughout the hair so it doesn’t look flat. The resulting mix of shades makes it look shimmery and metallic, and the wash of pink gives it the rosy tone.

Busy Philipps dyed best friend Michelle Williams’ hair a faded version of pink that matches her own rose gold hair that she DIYs. The duo created the color at home by applying some leave-in hair tint over Williams’ signature platinum blond, but for those of us who want a little extra help getting the look, head to a salon for a professional job that will ensure you achieve the right shade. One of the best parks of this shade is that you don’t have to be blond to work the look: it looks great with darker shades of hair with the help of carefully placed strands of color or ombré.

Here are a few of fall’s latest rose gold converts.

So dimensional and pretty, right? We think that its warmth and hint of color are the perfect way to stave off the chill as the days get colder. For more autumn hair inspo, check out these 40 gorgeous hairstyles that are perfect for fall.

Harvey Weinstein May Have Tried to Use Rose McGowan's Sexual History Against Her


Another day, another appalling revelation in the Harvey Weinstein assault and harassment story. The Daily Beast is reporting that, according to multiple sources, during Ronan Farrow’s investigation into allegations against Weinstein, attorney Lisa Bloom allegedly told the reporter, “I don’t know if you’ve talked to Rose McGowan, but we have files on her and her sexual history.” (Bloom told The Daily Beast that she has no comment on anything related to her former client and is not authorized to answer any questions about the disgraced movie mogul.) Wow.

But sadly, as awful as this sounds, it’s not all that surprising. McGowan has been relentless in speaking her truth about Weinstein for years, even when nobody was listening. So it’s not surprising that his team might have put together information they hoped would discredit her and devalue her story.

This is just another example of the hostile environment that often awaits women when they report instances of sexual assault and harassment and why so many of them choose not to. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, 63 percent of rapes are not reported to police. And as the “Me Too” campaign showed so clearly, the secret of harassment is one that so many women carry with them every day. Sure, creating an entire opposition file the likes of which is usually seen in politics is perhaps an extreme example, but the underlying message is all too familiar: “It’s her fault.” Attempting to undermine victims based on their sexual history, their clothing, or their blood alcohol levels is well-tread territory. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t speak up each and every time we see it happening to yet another woman, famous or not.

We must keep using our voices until the culture shifts.

Kit Harington Kindly Requests That You Stop Asking Him and Rose Leslie for Pictures, Please


In recent years a handful of celebrities have taken strong stances against posing for selfies with fans on the street—and for good reason. Two of the most recent additions to this antiselfie squad are Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie, who almost certainly get stopped all the time when they’re out and about, considering they’ve both appeared in one of the biggest shows on TV and also recently announced their engagement.

In an interview published in The Guardian over the weekend, Harington opened up about how “bizarre and weird” it is to be hounded at all hours by overzealous fans. “Like, being in Spain and there being a crowd of 500, maybe 600 fans camped outside the hotel every day, and you have to get through them. It feels like being Bieber or something,” he said.

Of his being something of a Justin Bieber–level heartthrob, Harington said, “Yeah, I don’t particularly enjoy that,” before adding, “I don’t know. Do I? I’m glad I’ve experienced it, but that’s what I mean about it being eight years, then it’s done. You couldn’t go on for much longer. It’s a bit incessant.” This incessant fame, he said, “makes me snappy and it makes me uncomfortable, and I turn into a grumpy person.”

His biggest issue of all is “the photo thing,” he said, explaining that he sets aside entire days during which he’ll refuse to take photos with fans. Harington told the newspaper that although the spiel he gives fans on these no-selfie days can leave them frustrated and annoyed, “you just have to, otherwise you start feeling like a mannequin.” He continued, “Especially me and Rose, we never do a photo together. Because then it makes our relationship feel like…puppets. Like we’re a walking show.”

He went on to explain why he’s so protective of his relationship with Leslie. “I just don’t—and I won’t say much about it now—but I don’t believe in talking about one’s relationship in the press because it’s…I strongly believe it’s her relationship and mine, and anything I say here, she may not want me to say,” he said. “So I just don’t say it. I genuinely think it’s our private life.”

The couple, who met and fell in love while starring as an unlikely couple onscreen in GoT, is indeed notoriously private: Instead of revealing their engagement news in September through a tabloid or on social media, they published a small, classic announcement in The Times of London.

But they’re not the only celebrities who refuse to take photos with fans. Their Game of Thrones costar Maisie Williams told Nylon last year that “if I don’t want a picture one day, I don’t have a problem saying no. I know some people get really weird about that, like, ‘You’re so mean.’ But if I was really in love with someone, I wouldn’t just want a picture. I would want to hang out with them,” she said. And in the September 2017 issue of Vogue,], Jennifer Lawrence shared that although she’s “happy to meet people, give autographs, shake hands, and say ‘Thank you,'” she doesn’t feel bad declining selfie requests. “It’s just, if I’m on an airplane and I have no makeup on, I don’t want to take a selfie that’s going to end up on E!”

Rose McGowan Says Hollywood "Blacklisted" Her After She Was Raped

Charmed actress Rose McGowan has been outspoken on Twitter about Harvey Weinstein following the New York Times‘ bombshell investigation into his alleged sexual harassment and assaults. McGowan also used the platform recently to accuse Weinstein of raping her when she was younger. Now, in an interview published on Saturday by the Observer, she details the fallout from reporting the assault.

In the piece—the interview for which took place back in January—McGowan explains that she didn’t report the alleged assault to the police because a criminal lawyer told her that she was unlikely to win. “Also, I didn’t want his name next to mine in my obituary,” she told the Observer. “His name doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as mine when I’m dead.”

McGowan did, however, tell the studio. On Twitter, McGowan said she went to Roy Price, the head of Amazon Studios, to report the incident but was told they couldn’t do anything because there was “no proof.” In her interview with the Observer, she elaborated: “They threatened [me] with being blacklisted,” she said. “I was blacklisted after I was raped, because I got raped, because I said something … but only like internally.”

In 1997, McGowan reached a $100,000 settlement with the Weinstein, which she cites in the interview as “an admission of guilt” on Weinstein’s part. She also claims to have had between 150 and 200 people she could subpoena to support her testimony and implied she also had physical proof. “I had three surgeries on my wrist and elbow,” she said. “I think that’s fair enough.”

McGowan also vows that she’s committed to fighting back against those who are “aiding and abetting” sex crimes in the film industry. “They blame the victim, they do all that shit,” she told the Observer. “They are bred to put fear into people and that’s what they do, they’re bred to put fear into the publishers and lawyers and they overreach it, and I’m going to do what I can and come out as hard as I can.”

In the 10 months since the interview took place, McGowan has done exactly that. Since the Weinstein scandal broke, she’s put Amazon’s studio on blast for failing to act (Price is now suspended) and called Ben Affleck a “liar” after he issued a statement claiming that the allegations against Weinstein made him “sick”. Some suspect that the suspension of McGowan’s account was the result of the latter move, though Twitter says she’d tweeted a private phone number, which constituted a violation of terms.

But after celebrities and women boycotted the social media site in solidarity with McGowan, her account was reinstated, and she resumed calling out the hypocrisy of Hollywood. Recently, she’s been throwing shots at men including Weinstein’s brother and the current head of the Weinstein Company, Bob Weinstein; Woody Allen, who has also faced allegations of sexual assault and is reportedly “sad” about what’s happening to Weinstein; and James Cordon, who joked about the scandal while hosting the amfAR Los Angeles Gala on Saturday.

Something tells us this isn’t going to be the last we hear about the gross abuse of power in Hollywood. In fact, we have McGowan’s forthcoming book Brave, which was recently bought by HarperCollins, to look forward to. She told the Observer that 85 percent of it had already been written and promised that it would address many of the incidents and issues she’s been talking about in regard to sexual assault and Hollywood. “It’s not a ‘tell all,'” she said, “It’s a ‘tell it how it is.'”

Rose McGowan Accuses Harvey Weinstein of Rape In New Tweets


Last week actress Rose McGowan was named as one of the numerous women who have brought forward allegations of sexual misconduct against Harvey Weinstein–and as the paper reported, McGowan reached a $100,000 settlement with the producer in 1997. The settlement stemmed from an incident at a hotel during the Sundance Film Festival but exact McGowan was seemingly forbidden from speaking about them because of a nondisclosure agreement.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, journalist Ronan Farrow had secured an interview with McGowan for a piece he was working on about Weinstein—one that he initially planned to cover for NBC News but was ultimately published in The New Yorker. But, after McGowan gave the interview “her lawyer contacted Farrow and NBC to revoke consent because it could put her in legal jeopardy given the terms of her settlement agreement,” said “sources with knowledge of the situation.”

In 2016, McGowan tweeted that she had raped by a Hollywood executive and on Thursday afternoon, in a series of tweets directed at Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the actress alleged that Harvey Weinstein raped her.

McGowan’s tweets came just hours after the actress was temporarily suspended from the social media platform. Twitter said that they blocked her account because she had posted a private phone number, thus violating their terms of service, and added that they are “proud to empower and support the voices on our platform, especially those that speak truth to power.”
