Woody Allen Brags About 20-Year Marriage And Ignoring Criticism Woody Allen is still just as creepy as ever. As you probably know, the director helped raise his current wife from the age of 10. He was in a relationship with her mother, Mia Farrow, for 10 years, and Mia only left him after finding nude photos of her child that Woody had taken. That’s actually not even the ONLY daughter of Mia’s that Woody reportedly molested …but we digress. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Woody confirmed that he doesn’t give a damn what anyone has to say about him on any front, from his work to his pervy personal life, because he has made it a point to avoid anything with his name on it for decades. He doesn’t even ever watch his own films again once they’re completed. And he certainly never paid attention to people calling him out for smashing a child… In the early 1990s, when you were criticized for starting your relationship with Soon-Yi, were you immune to all that? Were you unaware of it? I was immune, yes I was. You can see I worked right through that, undiminished. Made films all through those years and at the same rate I was making them. I’m good that way. I am very disciplined and very monomaniacal and compartmentalized. So you weren’t traumatized by the scandal? Oh, no. Not in the slightest. But when it comes to the super-creepy (and likely criminal) love affair he had with his ex-wife’s adopted daughter from her teen years on into marrying her in adulthood, Woody basically feels like his obvious molestation did nothing but benefit her… How has your wife, Soon-Yi, changed you? Oh, well, one of the great experiences of my life has been my wife. She had a very, very difficult upbringing in Korea: She was an orphan on the streets, living out of trash cans and starving as a 6-year-old. And she was picked up and put in an orphanage. And so I’ve been able to really make her life better. I provided her with enormous opportunities, and she has sparked to them. She’s educated herself and has tons of friends and children and got a college degree and went to graduate school, and she has traveled all over with me now. She’s very sophisticated and has been to all the great capitals of Europe. She has just become a different person. So the contributions I’ve made to her life have given me more pleasure than all my films. Wow…so even after 20 years of marriage, their entire dynamic is still about the pleasure he brings to her. Yeah, we’re sure that’s perfectly healthy… Splash

Caitlyn Jenner To Pose Nude With Olympic Medal Caitlyn is officially a true Kardashian . The transgender reality star is finally earning her K-wings by following in the family tradition of stripping it off and laying it out for the world to see in a national publication. Via USweekly : Now that’s a patriotic streak! Caitlyn Jenner will appear on a summer cover of Sports Illustrated wearing “nothing but an American flag and her Olympic medal,” a source reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. The 66-year-old I Am Cait star (formerly known as Bruce) set a world decathlon record at the 1976 Montreal Summer Games. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her win, she’ll pose with her gold medal for the first time post-transition, adds the source: “She’s excited about that.” (Her ex-wife Kris appeared topless with a medal during a 2007 photo shoot on Keeping Up With the Kardashians .) Damn…Caitlyn swears she’s Kris now, huh? Until now, Jenner says, she had stashed her “most prized possession” at the bottom of her makeup drawer. “I never wanted my kids to feel like they had to have a gold medal in order to be considered a success,” the father of Kylie, 18, Kendall, 20, Brody, 32, Brandon, 34, Casey, 35, and Burt, 37, wrote in an August 2015 blog post. “I didn’t want them to constantly compare their own achievements to my time in the Olympics, so I haven’t displayed my medal.” “I’m very proud of this,” the reality star said of her medal in a video accompanying the blog entry. “That was a great time in my life. But to be honest with you, it’s even a greater time in my life right now with what I’m trying to accomplish.” Well…um, good for her? Whatever. We guess if you don’t like it, don’t look. But we’re just hoping this shoot goes more demure route and not THIS direction… E! / Splash / WENN
Johnson & Johnson Ordered To Pay Woman With Ovarian Cancer $55M Remember back in February when Johnson & Johnson was ordered to pay $72 million to the family of a woman who died of ovarian cancer? Well… per KTLA : Johnson & Johnson has suffered its second costly court defeat in less than three months over claims its talcum powder caused cancer. And many more cases are looming. A jury in St. Louis awarded $55 million in damages to Gloria Ristesund, who used Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder for more than 35 years before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2011. Ristesund’s lawyers argued that Johnson & Johnson knew of possible health risks associated with talc, but failed to warn consumers. “Internal documents from J & J show it knew of studies connecting talc use and ovarian cancer but, to this day, it continues to market it as safe — neglecting any warning,” The Onder Law Firm, which represented Ristesund, said in a statement. Johnson & Johnson said it plans to appeal the verdict. “Multiple scientific and regulatory reviews have determined that talc is safe for use in cosmetic products and the labeling on Johnson’s Baby Powder is appropriate,” Carol Goodrich, a spokesperson for Johnson & Johnson Consumer, said in a statement. Yeah, ok. You still using Johnson & Johnson baby powder?
