This place just opened in Denver and plays Grateful Dead live albums every minute they're open. I guess it's supposed to be pretty great beer and sandwiches, too. www.thegratefulgnome.com/

Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon has issued a statement saying that an allegation that he sexually assaulted a fan in 1995 is “simply untrue,” the BBC and the Guardian report. In a Facebook post that is no longer publicly viewable, Shereen Hariri claimed that the incident took place at a record store in L.A. where she worked, during a Duran Duran autograph signing. She alleged that Le Bon grabbed her “butt cheek” and started “making his way down my butt to my genitals” in the Facebook post, quoted by the BBC and the Guardian, which is no longer publicly viewable. “I was shocked and completely frozen,” she reportedly wrote in the post, going on to request an apology, but no compensation, from Le Bon.
In a statement on Duran Duran’s Facebook page last night, Le Bon responded, “The behavior that Ms Hariri has accused me of, would have been just as inappropriate and unacceptable to me then as it is today. But the allegation is simply untrue.... I have always been one who can admit to my mistakes and apologize for my failings. But I cannot apologize for something I did not do.”
In a comment beneath the post, Katy Krassner, Duran Duran’s longtime publicist and assistant, backed Le Bon’s account, saying she was at the signing and “what he is being accused of DID NOT happen.”
Le Bon claims that, despite an offer to meet Hariri in person, she “decided to pursue this publicly” instead. But Hariri’s attorney, Sarah Prescott, told the Detroit Free Press that it was Le Bon’s reluctance to meet and apologize that prompted Hariri to go public.

Apparently Chris Hardwick is actually returning to his spot on Talking Dead after AMC did some "research" into Chloe Dykstra's abuse allegations. This is, uh, pretty disgusting from them not gonna lie.
Oh my god don't the Hearsts own AMC?

Well, shit.
Asia Argento quietly arranged to pay $380,000 to her own accuser: Jimmy Bennett, a young actor and rock musician who said she had sexually assaulted him in a California hotel room years earlier, when he was only two months past his 17th birthday. She was 37. The age of consent in California is 18.

I wonder if Bourdain knew Honestly my first thought was that it probably had a lot to do with why he did it. I felt bad about thinking that, but I did.

Bourdain was tweeting all about how he was so disappointed by how Hilary and democrats handled the Weinstein thing etc etc what a hypocrit
I hope CNN removes the episode she directed from his upcoming season of Parts Unknown

My friend who lives in Madison went to the Aziz Ansari show tonight and apparently the show was 60% good material and then a lot of not so great material, and a lot of weird/just barely dated material like jokes about the whole yanny/laurel thing. The biggest observation that he made though was that he made no mention of the accusations of non-consent against him and pretty much acted like it didn't happen. Pretty shitty if he decides to brush it all off

i can't fault someone for not incorporating that into their act. obviously, louis ck will when he makes a return. aziz will be asked about it when he does press for the next thing and he'll hopefully have something decent to say then.

I guess he kinda monologued about a lot of things that weren't really jokes or related to the rest of the act so my friend was a little surprised he didn't say anything. Like apparently he praised Starbucks for their forced diversity training or something
