Hayden Panettiere says an Oscar-winning actor and director showed her his testicles, without consent, when she was just a teenager.
...
Panettiere says she was leaving a gathering -- having grown uncomfortable while chatting with a group of men near the end of the night -- when a "well-respected" Oscar winner approached her as she was putting on a coat and complained about the gum stuck to his pants.
HP writes she looked down ... but, instead of gum, she found herself staring at the star's sack -- a sight at which she instantly recoiled.

When Australian farmer Rhys Smoker announced he’d found a live frog in a bag of lettuce, his housemates didn’t believe him.
Smoker had been preparing a steak and salad dinner on Saturday for the three people who share his house in Esperance in Western Australia state when he spotted the frog among the leaves inside the sealed plastic bag he’d bought from a supermarket, housemate Laura Jones said on Tuesday.
“He’s like, ‘Oh Bro, there’s a frog in the lettuce.’ And we’re like, ‘No, you’re taking the mick, like that’s not real,’” Jones told AP. Taking the mick is a slang term for attempting to fool someone. | |

The Colorado Supreme Court, by a 5-2 vote, ordered Children’s Hospital Colorado on Monday to resume providing certain medical services to a group of transgender plaintiffs, which it had ceased in the face of funding threats from the federal government last year.
The unusual appeal before the Supreme Court stemmed from a trial judge’s rejection of a preliminary injunction for four trans plaintiffs who are minors seeking treatment from Children’s Colorado. The plaintiffs alleged that the cessation of services based on their status violates the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act.
While multiple considerations inform whether a judge should grant an injunction, the Supreme Court’s majority concluded the plaintiffs were likely to succeed on their underlying discrimination claims and that the hypothetical harm to the broader public from withdrawn federal funding could not outweigh the plaintiffs’ rights. | |

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt delivered the commencement address at the University of Arizona on Friday. And, as his speech veered into talk of AI, he was repeatedly drowned out by boos. AI is already a contentious topic, and it’s not surprising that those about to enter a ravaged job market feel particularly negative about it.
Schmidt acknowledged the anxiety, according to Business Insider, saying fears “that the machines are coming, that the jobs are evaporating, that the climate is breaking, that politics are fractured, and that you are inheriting a mess that you did not create,” were “rational.” But Schmidt’s frustration was also palpable, as he squirmed behind the podium and asked the crowd to let him make his point.
Some grads also booed Schmidt over sexual assault allegations made against him last year. | |
