The disruptive behaviour of the composer, nicknamed the "class clown", is detailed in these original 1955 documents that were saved from a mass book burning in 1970 by a teacher at Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool where the singer studied. Famous worldwide for such all-time hits as 'Imagine', Lennon was given detention as often as three times a day for "being a nuisance" in the classroom, "shoving" his schoolmates and having "just no interest (in class) whatsoever", the school reports say.

William H. Macy on Harvey Weinstein: ‘Of Course People Knew. A Lot of People Knew.’
SAVANNAH, Georgia — Perhaps it was his excruciatingly convincing turn as Jerry Lundegaard, an in-over-his-head Minnesotan who hatches a plot to kidnap his own wife in Fargo, or his deep ties to Chicago playwright-cum-filmmaker David Mamet, or the Windy City dirtbag he plays on the Showtime series Shameless, but I was under the distinct impression that William H.

He proceeded to move around Georgia quite a bit during his early years, with stints in Macon and Decatur, before the family settled down in Maryland when Macy was nine. So it was quite a thrill for him to shoot his new movie, Krystal, in Atlanta. “We loved shooting there, in McDonough. The whole town embraced us, and they couldn’t have been nicer. We came down to Savannah for two days of shooting on the … [Read more...] about William H. Macy on Harvey Weinstein: ‘Of Course People Knew. A Lot of People Knew.’

Celebrity Feminist Lawyer Lisa Bloom’s Don’t Buy Her Post-Weinstein Rehab
Camera-ready celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom—whose enthusiastic and lucrative work for accused sexual predator Harvey Weinstein two years ago reduced her sterling reputation to rubble—has been struggling in recent weeks to rebuild her public image as a champion of victimized women. The 58-year-old Bloom—who in 2017 also signed another wildly off-brand client, fired Amazon Studios chief and accused sexual harasser Roy Price, to combat credible allegations by The Man in the High Castle producer Isa Hackett—is toiling to reclaim her feminist credentials with several high-profile lawsuits. This week Bloom filed Fox Nation host Britt McHenry’s sexual harassment and retaliation complaint against Fox News and her onetime cohost Tyrus Murdoch.
