Star Magazine tried to guess what Madonna might look like at 60 in a Grant Wood-inspired illustration 30 years ago — and they were pretty far off. Hell, they even missed the mark on Sean Penn, who they envisioned as a bit of a James Cromwell type.

Ahead of a new Netflix documentary and an Oprah-run CBS special about his life, Quincy Jones granted a wide-ranging and no-fucks-given interview to Vulture, in which he took on plenty of sacred cows (the Beatles were lousy musicians, the Clintons keep secrets and were too influenced by Big Pharma, Oprah doesn't have the chops to be POTUS, Michael Jackson stole from Donna Summer, Cyndi Lauper was a diva on “We Are the World,” the Mob murdered JFK).
The gay shit is the juiciest ...
Former model Scott R. Brunton, in a THR story, claims gay icon and Star Trek trailblazer George Takei attempted to take advantage of him sexually at the end of a 1981 date.
According to Brunton, he and Takei were casual friends who went on a date — dinner and a play — before going back to Takei's place for drinks. While there, Brunton recalls passing out during his second drink. He does not explicitly state that he was drugged, but he is clearly implying that. When he awoke, he says Takei was groping him, trying to get his underwear off. When he said no, Takei asked him to relax, which led Brunton to say no a second time, push him away, and leave. He said he sat in his car until he felt well enough to drive.
Takei did not immediately respond, but addressed the lag in his response in what comes across as a sincere, Saturday morning Facebook post on the subject, in which he flatly denies the incident ever occurred:
Corey Felman is nuts, but I feel for him.
He has finally named one name, claiming he was attacked sexually by a man named John Grissom aka Cloyd Jon Grissom when he was 14. Grissom acted in two films with Feldman, having been his assistant before Feldman got him those jobs.
Still, Grissom is not a star and wouldn't be a well-connected part of a massive Hollywood pedophile ring, so the revelation still feels well short of what Feldman has been promising in exchange for $10 million ...
