Trent Reznor Rebukes Marilyn Manson in New Statement – Rolling Stone

Trent Reznor has issued a statement denouncing his former friend and collaborator Marilyn Manson, as Pitchfork reports. His statement comes in the wake of Manson’s former partner Evan Rachel Wood’s allegations that Manson groomed her and abused her during the course of their relationship. Following Wood’s statement on Monday morning, at least four other women made similar accusations. After news of the accusations came to light, a story involving Reznor that appears in Manson’s 1998 autobiography, The Long Hard Road Out of Hell, resurfaced. In it, Manson claims he and Reznor sexually and physically assaulted an inebriated woman in the Nineties. The passage was allegedly part of an unpublished interview with Empyrean Magazine. “I have been vocal over the years about my dislike of ...

Coronavirus in Oregon: 649 new cases, 10 deaths as state says it’ll follow judge’s order to vaccinate prisone – OregonLive

The Oregon Health Authority on Wednesday announced 649 new coronavirus cases and 10 more deaths as Gov. Kate Brown’s office said it would comply with a judge’s order to begin vaccinating inmates in state prisons. Officials will not challenge an order from a federal judge requiring Oregon to vaccinate prisoners sooner that the state’s planned March timeline. Brown’s office said accelerating vaccinations for prisoners will not impact the schedule for teachers and seniors, who are or will soon become eligible. But it’s not immediately clear how that’ll be possible or, if accurate, why the state didn’t initially choose to vaccinate prisoners sooner. Wednesday marked the 18th consecutive day with confirmed or suspected coronavirus infections below 1,000. Cases, hospitalizations and the rate ...

Kanye West Reportedly Moves 500 Pairs of Sneakers Out of Kim Kardashians House – Yahoo Entertainment

Kanye West has been uncharacteristically quiet in the weeks since news of his divorce from Kim Kardashian broke in early January. There was talk last month that Kardashian and West had started attending marriage counseling, but reports surfaced that they had given up on the sessions almost just as quickly. Now, with the rumored divorce still pending, we're hearing that West is packing his belongings, namely a ton of sneakers.  According to Page Six, the same outlet that first broke news of the divorce, West has been busy moving items from the home while Kardashian is in the Turks and Caicos with family. The tabloid's sources tell them West departed from the Calabasas residence with 500 pairs of sneakers in tow—there's no word if they were all Yeezys, but one can assume. "They both f...

Madison LeCroy: I have never been physical with Alex Rodriguez – Page Six

“Southern Charm” star Madison LeCroy has broken her silence on her alleged relationship with Alex Rodriguez — exclusively telling Page Six that she and the ex-MLB star have never met in person, and only spoken on the phone. Rumors bubbled among LeCroy’s friends that she’d had “an affair” with the slugger — and they exploded into the public eye after Bravo’s Andy Cohen mentioned during a “Southern Charm” reunion show, “a very famous… ex-MLB player.” But LeCroy told us on Wednesday that she and A-Rod have “never met up.” She clarified they’ve “spoken on the phone.” “That’s the truth,” she said, adding they’ve “never been physical… never had any kind of anything. Just an acquaintance.” The Bravo star revealed, “He’s never physically cheated on his fiancé...

Coronavirus: Bay Area health leaders urge residents 65+ to be given priority for vaccines – The Mercury News

Because there aren’t enough vaccine doses yet to meet demand, a coalition of Bay Area health officers on Wednesday urged all health systems to prioritize COVID-19 vaccines for people 65 and older — a group dying at far-and-away the highest rates during the pandemic — and move some essential workers further down the list. “We need to be direct and honest with the public that, although we want to vaccinate everyone, right now we just don’t have enough vaccine to do so,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Santa Clara County’s health officer and director of public health. “Given limited supply of vaccine, we must prioritize vaccinating those at greatest risk of death or serious illness.” Recent changes in state rules have shifted the priority list, with doctors, nurses, and nursing home patients in the ...
