Aziz Ansari’s former co-star Retta “didn’t appreciate” the sexual misconduct accusations made against the actor and says she “didn’t think he was an a–hole.” “I’m not going to judge [Grace], because I don’t know her,” Retta told Vulture. “I know personally–I had this conversation specifically with one of my good girlfriends, and she was like, ‘I don’t know how this is a story.

Come to think of it, the Cliffside Malibu founder, who Oliver described as “if Matt Lauer f—ed a pair of Oakley sunglasses,” got it even worse. And yes, that guy from the incessant Addiction Network commercials felt Oliver’s wrath too. Читать дальше...

The U.K. government doesn’t believe that Comcast’s proposed $31 billion acquisition of Sky raises the same regulatory concerns as 21st Century Fox’s attempted takeover of the British pay-TV giant. “The proposed merger does not raise concerns in relation to public interest considerations which would meet the threshold for intervention,” wrote the U.K.’s Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Matt Hancock. Comcast, Sky and Fox did not immediately respond for comment.

That means a lower-court decision allowing the lawsuit to go forward will stand. The patients said that drug companies' bottles dispense drops that are too large... Читать дальше...
