Sexual harassment update: French actor GERARD DEPARDIEU has been accused of rape and sexual assault by a 22-year-old French actress, who remains unnamed.
French radio says she claims she was "devastated" by the attacks by the 69-year-old, which occurred earlier this month. The BBC says she knew the actor before the alleged crimes took place. Depardieu's lawyer says he denies the allegations "absolutely."
JALEEL WHITE, who's probably best known for playing Steve Urkel on the sitcom "Family Matters," will be showing up as a guest-star on an upcoming Season 5 episode of ABC's "Fresh Off the Boat."
He'll reportedly play the sarcastic and under-appreciated general manager of a car dealership where Louis buys an RV.
Yeah, boy! Sources now say they new "Star Wars" attraction inside Disneyland will serve alcoholic beverages.
This is a landmark decision, because the general public (or the "guests" as they're known in Disney-speak) have never been able to buy an alcoholic drink inside Disneyland in its 63-year history. The "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" attraction will feature a place called "Oga's Cantina," which apparently will have all sorts of people --including everything from stormtroopers to characters like Ewoks and a droid bartender, RX-24, the former StarSpeeder 3000 pilot droid that once piloted the Star Tours ride in Tomorrowland.
Galaxy's Edge, which covers a 14-acre area in Disneyland, will reportedly open next year.
