I guess Gigi Hadid must have gotten tired of being a fashion model, because apparently she’s a fitness model for Reebok now. At least judging from this latest boxing-themed photoshoot. And we definitely know Gigi knows how to throw a mean left hook. Anyway, for those of you counting along at home, Gigi’s been a […]

HBO?s big, new, controversial hit show Westworld premiered this past weekend. I didn?t watch it, mostly because I only subscribe to HBO for Game of Thrones, and mostly because I wasn?t really jazzed about the premise for the show, which is super-confusing and apparently the show leans heavily on violence against women. Or should I say, the story-within-the-story involves violence against women? As I said, it?s confusing. In the premiere of the show, there was a sexual assault within the theme-park/robot world, where Ed Harris?s human character assaults Evan Rachel Wood?s robot. Or something? Anyway, Evan Rachel Wood wants you to know that the show isn?t all about sexual assault.
There’s a duel brewing over a controversial rape scene in Sunday night’s premiere of “Westworld.” A sequence implying Evan Rachel Wood’s human-like robot is sexually assaulted by a human gunslinger (Ed Harris) aired on HBO has sparked condemnation on social media. The National Center on Sexual Exploitation condemned “Westworld,” accusing the cable network of “making sadistic themes of sexual violence against women the cornerstone of its entertainment formula.”
But Wood herself promised in a recent interview with the Daily News that the show “will be flipping (such violence) on its head.”
?It?s a genuine concern that violence against women would be used in a gratuitous manner, to be titillating, for shock value or just for the sake of being there, but I think in regards to ?Westworld,? we?re using it as a comment on those very things,? Wood told the Daily News ahead of the premiere. ?We don?t actually show any violence against women, although it is implied. (Co-creator) Lisa (Joy) was very passionate about not showing gratuitous violence against women and I think the reason why it?s in the show is to push us to take a look at ourselves and humanity and why this sort of thing is an epidemic that people get pleasure out of it. We?re examining the horrors behind it and how it impacts the victim. I hope people recognize the context and understand that we?ll be flipping it on its head.?

I think people would have been more likely to give Westworld the benefit of the doubt if Game of Thrones hadn?t wielded violence against their female characters so consistently and so brutally for years. That being said, on GoT, men run the show ? the show is consistently written, directed and produced by men. On Westworld, at least there are some women behind the scenes, questioning the use of violence against women (or female robots) and what the show is saying. It would have been great to hear from Lisa Joy on this issue, rather than Evan. Evan?s not writing the stories, nor is she a producer on the show. She?s just playing the victimized robot.

Chrissy Teigen – author, model, co-host and social media rabble rouser – has gone quiet. At least, her Twitter has. Long known for getting into squabbles online, Chrissy switched her Twitter to private on Tuesday because she’s ?not strong enough anymore.? What is she no longer strong enough for? Absorbing bad energy. According to Chrissy, the venomous hordes are not to blame this time. She’s ghosting Twitter lurkers to cleanse her day of negative vibes.
Like the many celebrities overwhelmed by Twitter vitriol before her, Chrissy Teigen has made her account private for now.
Teigen revealed that she had switched her privacy settings because she?s ?not strong enough anymore.?
Tweets sent from a private Twitter account cannot be shared, linked to or embedded. They can only be seen by the user?s confirmed followers who, for Teigen, number at 2.88 million. In other words, she still has a voice on social media ? just not one that can be heard by the entire internet.
?It?s not haters or trolls or generally mean people,? she continued, via Twitter. ?I just feel like I am absorbing bad s–t 24/7. My body and mind cannot handle it anymore.?

So I guess we can put away the handkerchiefs to dry our tears, Chrissy isn?t gone. I just can?t embed her tweets because I am not one of her 2.88 million confirmed followers. In addition she still has her Instagram and we can probably catch up with her through husband John Legend?s account. I have no problem with her rationale. I think we do absorb too much negativity online these days and shutting it off for even 24 hours can do the mind a world of good. Seriously. But you can also learn things from social media, like that 18 USC Section 1702 says opening someone else?s mail is a felony.
Right before she went Twitter silent, Chrissy was live-tweeting the VP debate from her and John?s VP Debate Watch Party. She also live-tweeted the last Presidential Debate, for which HuffPo declared her tweets as the True Winner. I don?t dislike, Chrissy, I really don?t, but I do not understand why she gets as much credit as she does. She?s clever and her recipes are fine, but she’s just that – fine. I guess I will continue to be in the dark, unless 2.88 million people aren?t enough and she switches her Twitter back on.
I adore this outfit, however
