Goldie Hawn Reflects on Her Failed ‘Chicago’ Movie With Madonna and Telling Off Harvey Weinstein: ‘Don’t F— With Me’

It turns out there was some razzle dazzle before the razzle dazzle. Back in 2003, “Chicago” rolled through the awards season on its way to that year’s best picture Oscar. But there’s a little-known subplot in the development of the Miramax film. Some 15 years before Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones shared the screen in the iconic movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, Harvey Weinstein had been developing a precursor version with Goldie Hawn and Madonna. Hawn was set to produce and star as the fame-chasing murderess Velma Kelly, while Madonna was on board to play Roxie Hart, the upstart killer threatening to steal Velma’s thunder. But Weinstein decided to go in a different direction despite having deals in place. “Harvey basically undermined me and Madonna,” Hawn tells Vari...

Chicago’s Police Say: Jussie Smollett Faked Hate Crime Because He Was ‘Dissatisfied With Salary’

Chicago's Police Say: Jussie Smollett Faked Hate Crime Because He Was 'Dissatisfied With Salary' Actor Jussie Smollett faked a threatening letter and then, a week later, staged a racist, anti-gay attack in downtown Chicago because he was “dissatisfied with his salary” on the “Empire” television show, Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday morning. Smollett paid two brothers he knew $3,500 to fake the attack in the 300 block of East North Water Street around 2 a.m. Jan. 29, Johnson said, adding that detectives have the check for the money.

Two Chicago Priests Caught By Police Pleasuring Themselves Inside A Car In Broad Daylight

Two priests from Chicago have been arrested after they were caught performing oral s*x on each other in a parked car on a Miami Beach street in broad daylight. Edwin Cortez, 30, and Diego Berrio, 39, were charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, and Cortez has also been charged with indecent exposure because his unzipped pants exposed his genitalia. The police were called by a bystander who spotted the two men engaging in oral s*x in a black Volkswagen around 3:20 pm. The car was parked across a children’s playground and a park. The car’s windows were not tinted, so both men were in ‘full view of the public’ on the very busy street. According to Miami Beach Police, the act was still going on when an officer arrived on the scene. The officer said that he could clearly see Berri...
