Tony Ciulla, who managed Marilyn Manson for the past 25 years, has dropped the shock rocker as a client, a source close to the situation confirmed to Rolling Stone. The move comes after several women, including actress and Manson’s ex-fiancé Evan Rachel Wood, accused Manson of sexual and physical abuse. Ciulla started managing Manson in 1996, the same year the artist put out his mainstream breakthrough, Antichrist Superstar. He stood by the singer, whose real name is Brian Warner, through multiple controversies — including criticism that followed the musician after the Columbine shooting — and myriad lawsuits.

She continued: "The way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two ...

So you’re making movies — four of them — and a TV show. Why not? It’s not like any one person has the rights to a news event like this! As of Friday, February 5th: No. But just in case yes, we imagine this set of completely disparate productions will need some excellent titles going forward. May we humbly suggest: Gam...

After Donald Trump heard that The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists' (SAG-AFTRA) disciplinary committee held a hearing to discuss revoking his membership, he issued a letter of resignation. The letter said, in part, "This letter is to inform you of my immediate resignation from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me." Trump signed the letter "President Donald J. Trump."

Trump is calling himself 'president' an...
