Woman rejects settlement, sues Weinstein over sex assault claim
NEW YORK — A woman who alleges disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted her when she was 16 filed suit against him on Thursday and rejected a settlement reached by other accusers.Kaja Sokola said the $25 million settlement with dozens of women, designed to resolve almost every misconduct lawsuit brought against Weinstein, is neither fair nor just."Therefore, today I am filing my own case, in my own name," Sokola, 33, said in a statement issued through her lawyer.Sokola, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in Poland, said she originally included her case under a pseudonym as part of a 2018 class action suit against Weinstein, his companies and associates.But after last week's announcement that his lawyers had reached the settlement with other...

French director accused of harassing star hits back
PARIS — The film director accused of sexually harassing French star Adele Haenel when she was still a child has claimed that she hated him because he denied her a part in another film.Haenel rocked the French film industry last month by claiming that Christophe Ruggia "constantly" harassed her from the age of 12 to 15 on her first film, "The Devils".The emotional live-streamed interview in which she made the claims was seen by many as a turning point for France's #MeToo movement.The star of "Portrait of a Lady on Fire" — one of the most acclaimed arthouse films of the year — has since brought formal charges against Ruggia, who she said was nearly 40 when he "forced kisses on the neck".But Ruggia hit back in a so-called counter investigation...

Jane Fonda tried to meet Trump with 'beautiful' climate activists
WASHINGTON — Hollywood legend Jane Fonda revealed she attempted to meet President Donald Trump shortly after his election with a group of "beautiful, voluptuous, brilliant" climate activists including Pamela Anderson in order to convince him to tackle global warming.But after discussing her idea with the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner and daughter Ivanka Trump, Fonda did not hear back, which eventually helped convince her to move for several months to Washington and use the power of her celebrity to help drive mass mobilizations.Speaking at the National Press Club on Tuesday, Fonda, who turns 82 on Saturday, said she hatched the plan the day after the New York real estate tycoon was elected in 2016."I kind of know men like Trump, not as bad, but you know, I sort...

As the going gets tough, Indians get going ... to the movies
MUMBAI, India — As a prolonged economic slowdown forces Indians to curb spending on everything from underwear to automobiles, business in Bollywood has never been better -- offering audiences an escape from the increasingly grim daily grind.And the cash registers are likely to keep ringing, with high-profile films such as superstar Salman Khan's "Dabangg 3" (Fearless 3) scheduled for release this week as a blockbuster season comes to a close.Ankita Maneck will be among the millions queueing to see Khan beat up bad guys, break into song-and-dance numbers and ride off into the sunset for the customary happy ending.In the last 12 months, Maneck lost her job, moved back home and then had to scrounge for funds to pay for her father's surgery.Her only respite came in the form...

Mega-fan campaigns for Princess Leia star in Hollywood
LOS ANGELES — Dressed in white robes and sporting Princess Leia's distinctive spiral bun hairstyle, Kristin Grady walks up and down Hollywood collecting signatures on behalf of her idol.She believes the late actress Carrie Fisher deserves her own star on the Walk of Fame — and hopes this week's new "Star Wars" film will boost her campaign.The conclusion to nine films spanning four decades, "The Rise of Skywalker" will be the last to feature Fisher, who appears posthumously in unused footage from previous episodes.Grady believes it may be Fisher's last chance to take her place alongside 2,600 stars bearing the names of celebrities along Hollywood's sidewalks — including those of Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) and Harrison Ford (Han...

'Star Wars' bows after 42 years as Carrie Fisher heads reunion
LOS ANGELES — The last survivors of "Star Wars," created by George Lucas 42 years ago, reunite on the big screen for a final time on Friday in the nostalgic conclusion to the epic "Skywalker saga" — led by a screen legend who has departed this galaxy."Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" serves as a swansong to the genre-defining, nine-film series for stalwarts such as Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian) and, in particular, the late Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia).Thanks to some innovative repurposing of footage shot during the previous Star Wars installments, Fisher improbably remains at the center of a movie released three years after her death."The idea of continuing the story without Leia...
