Lawsuit of the day: ASHLEY MORGAN SMITHLINE is suing rocker MARILYN MANSON for sexual assault and unlawful imprisonment. She claims he had a small, soundproof glass enclosure called "The Bad Girls' Room" in his Hollywood apartment which he used to lock up his dates for hours "to psychologically torture them." And she's not the only one who's been locked up. Rolling Stone magazine talked to several of his "exes" who say the room was "an open secret." Manson has "vehemently denied" the accusations. The room was reportedly a cramped, glass enclosure" which served as a recording studio the former tenant had installed --until Manson converted it. We could find out more when Manson has a case status hearing on December 27th.
The stars of the HARRY POTTER movies --DANIEL RADCLIFFE, EMMA WATSON and RUPERT GRINT-- are getting back together for a ‘Return to Hogwarts’ special on HBO Max. It's been 20 years since the first Harry Potter movie premiered, and the trio will be celebrating the occasion on New Year’s Day (Jan. 1, 2022), with the special called “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.” Other members of the films also appearing in the special reportedly include HELENA BONHAM CARTER, ROBBIE COLTRANE, RALPH FIENNES, JASON ISAACS, GARY OLDMAN, IMELDA STAUNTON, TOM FELTON, JAMES PHELPS, OLIVER PHELPS, MARK WILLIAMS, BONNIE WRIGHT, ALFRED ENOCH, MATTHEW LEWIS, EVANNA LYNCH and IAN HART.
Told ya: Even though medical experts have denied that the drug ivermectin cannot stop COVID-19, some people still insist on taking it after becoming infected. Happened in Florida after a 47-year-old teacher was hospitalized with COVID-19 and she and her husband sued the hospital to get the drug. But the Palm Beach Post says a local judge denied their lawsuit and the woman died after 12 weeks in the hospital.
FYI: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the drug --which is used to treat conditions caused by parasitic worms-- has not been proved effective in pre-clinical trials to cure COVID-19.
Fast food: Movie star GAL GADOT is now taking time out to start a new health-food brand with her husband. The Hollywood Reporter says their GOODER FOODS is starting off with four flavors of Macaroni and Cheese which will be in grocery stores beginning next year. The "Goodles" flavors include Cheddy, Twist My Parm (spiral noodles with asiago and parmesan), Shella Good (shell pasta with aged white cheddar) and Mover & Shaker (cacio e pepe-inspired sauce with elbow macaroni). Each box will be priced at $3.50.
More food: McDonald’s Egg McMuffin is turning 50 years old and Mickey D's is celebrating by offering McMuffins for just 63 cents tomorrow (on Thursday, November 18th). However, you can only get the special by ordering on the McDonald’s app during breakfast hours that day.
