whoopi goldberg it wasn't rape rape

Whoopi Goldberg stepped in it Monday on The View, when she defended Roman Polanski, saying that “it wasn’t ‘rape’ rape” when he plied 13-year-old Samantha Gailey (now Geimer) with drugs and alcohol during a photo shoot at the home of actor Jack Nicholson, and performed oral sex, intercourse and sodomy on her.

The 76-year-old director was apprehended in Zurich, Switzerland on Saturday, in response to a 31-year-old United States arrest warrant.

Polanski was arrested in Los Angeles in 1977, and charged with rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance (methaqualone) to a minor.  He plead guilty to a lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, and was sent to a medical prison facility for psychiatric evaluation.  After 42 days he was released, and fled to France prior to sentencing.

While in Europe, Polanski continued to direct films, careful not to travel to countries likely to extradite him.  He was arrested on Friday at the Zurich Airport upon arrival to Switzerland to pick up a lifetime achievement “Golden Icon Award” from the Zurich Film Festival.

On Monday, Whoopi defended Polanski, saying “I know it wasn’t ‘rape’ rape. I think it was something else, but I don’t believe it was ‘rape’ rape.”

Right Whoopi, it was CHILD rape.

Dennis Hopper hospitalized

Actor Dennis Hopper, 73, was rushed to a Manhattan hospital by ambulance earlier today for what has been described as flu-like symptoms.  According to his publicist Sheila Feren, the actor is being treated at an undisclosed medical facility after complaining of a stomach ailment.

Known best for as the director and star of the 1969 film Easy Rider, Hopper was forced to cancel a full schedule of interviews that were slated for Wednesday, including The Associated Press, Today Show and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

Hopper has been in New York City making the rounds to publicize the second season of the Starz network television drama Crash where he plays the role of erratic record producer Ben Cendars.  The show is modeled after the Academy Award winning 2004 film by the same name.

Lisa Marie Presley Lawsuit

If you work for a celebrity, your chances of getting dragged into court are pretty good if you break your contract.  That is exactly what Lisa Marie Presley has in store for her former nanny Christine White.

After Christine was dismissed from her baby tending duties,  she promptly filed a lawsuit alleging that she was forced to work 7-days a week without being paid overtime and didn’t get the 10-minute rest breaks that she was entitled to while caring for Presley’s twin babies who were born in October 2008.

Lisa Marie has filed a counter suit alleging that White posted photos of the twins on her personal Facebook page.  Presley claims that a total of 164 photos were taken of the babies.  In addition, the nanny reportedly shot video of the children and that footage contained views of Presley’s private residence.

We would advise Ms. White that these nanny-gate cases tend to be won by the celebrities.  We’re just saying….

Justin Timberlake Jessica Biel Break Up photo

Rumors have been flying that Justin Timberlake, 28, has split with Jessica Biel after a nearly three-year relationship and has set his sights on Rihanna.  Others are saying….not so fast.  The couple, who are reportedly going through a “rough patch”, were photographed together in Northern California on Monday night in what may well be an attempt to mend fences and get the relationship jump started once again.

This summer Timberlake was busy in Europe promoting his new Givenchy fragrance and clothing line William Rast. Biel, 27, spent that same time frame in L.A. starring in Guys and Dolls.

The couple have been doing their own thing lately, with Biel alone at a wrap party for her new film Valentine’s Day on September 22.  Just three days later Justin partied in West Hollywood with Trace Ayala at Crown Bar.

As for the Rihanna rumors…the two have been working together in the studio on a collaboration for her new album.  The work is not yet completed but the relationship has been described by those ‘in the know’ as purely professional.
