Tonight's the night! Our esteemed cinephile Raincoaster is your hostess-with-the-mostest for the Klassy Manor Movie Night's presentation of "The Lair Of The White Worm," from Ken Russell, the legendary director who spent the 1960s and 70s treating the word "subtlety" like a personal insult. Depending on who you asked, his work was either a divine revelation or a fast track to excommunication. This was the era of "Women in Love," featuring the most famous nude wrestling match in history, "The Devils," a film so controversial it’s still being "found" in pieces, and "Tommy," the rock opera that proved Tina Turner and baked beans are a psychedelic match made in heaven. In later years, some critics claimed Russell had finally fallen off the deep end, yet others realized he was just doing backflips in the deep end. The 1980s saw him on a glorious, unhinged roll with  "Altered States," a  sci-fi trip where William H...

Credit: Columbia Pictures Our first February contender is Crispin Glover. The 61-year old actor was sued this month by an anonymous 30-year old woman who says that she met Glover through social media in 2015 and the pair shared messages for years. Glover often asked the woman to come and visit him in LA. She alleges that they met in Germany in 2023, where he showed off his collection of Nazi memorabilia. Yikes. In 2024, she alleges that Glover "lured" her to his house by promising her a home and a job as his assistant. But she claims that Glover wanted to control her actions, track her whereabouts, and "basically serve as his live-in girlfriend/sex slave." Once she did escape his home, she claims that the actor physically assaulted her, grabbing her neck and choking her in a headlock. Glover's rep naturally denies the claims and says he intends to vigorously defend himself. Credit: Dave Benett/Getty Next up is the brat herself, Charli XCX. She received backlash ...

Oh, brother! Mom and dad are taking me to see the new models to decide which car to buy. Why? I already know they're going to get the new Buick Super 8. I don't really care, as long as we can go see a movie afterward. Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" is a big hit, and though Disney's "Fantasia" is flopping,  I have a feeling it'll be re-evaluated as a classic in the future. I mean, it's in technicolor ! Ooooh, Alfred Hitchcock's got a new movie out called "Rebecca" and it looks pretty exciting, let's check it out! Well, whatever we decide to do, let's have some fun. It's 1940, so why not eat cheese, gossip, and drink carbonated beverages, I mean it's not like World War II's gonna break out or anything! Photo Credit: AK

   In keeping with yesterday's theme of garbage people, today we have Harvey Weinstein's first-ever jail interview. Then, Rachel Zegler spouting off about Snow White, the pitfalls of fame...bla, bla, bla.    ► Convicted POS Harvey Weinstein (73) granted The Hollywood Reporter an exclusive interview as he rots away in Rikers Island awaiting his second trial that's scheduled for April. To save you the trouble of taking a Silkwood shower, I took one for the PW Manor team. Harvey said that he's kept separate from other inmates. One inmate knocked him in the face when Harvey asked to use the phone, but he didn't tattled when guards asked what happened. He also admitted that 2 of his kids have nothing to do with him while some of his other kids visit him frequently. Oh, and he's confident that he'll be proven innocent. Below are the highlights.

Disco, Occasionally . Kravitz sported a ballcap with the word "kiss" on it, perhaps to support her man! The pair have been linked romantically since August and it appears they're still going strong.

  ► While disgraced Sarah Ferguson is enjoying herself at a spa somewhere in Europe to avoid the UK police over her association with Epstein, her daughters, Eugenie (35) and "Frog Eyes" Bea (37), are being shunned with the intensity of someone with bad breath. The world is casting out the toxic grifting family as revelations not only about Pedo Andy continue to come out, but also about Sarah, Eugenie, and Bea's friendship with Epstein. Lots of questions are being raised about their relationship with Epstein, long after he was convicted of sex trafficking, and loans he made to them. You'd think they would cut-off all contact after his conviction...but no, not them. In a collective global F.U. to the family, Eugenie and Bea were uninvited from Royal Ascot in June. Now Princess Eugenie has resigned as a patron from Anti-Slavery International, one of the world's oldest human rights organization that was started in 1839. Over the weekend (in Speedy Gonzalez record spee...

This one is a absolute must! Blood, nudiness, sacrilege, plus the best trick of all, Amanda Donohoe as a fanged, slithery killer. Yes, it's Ken Russell at his russelliest in this 1988 horror delight. As this rave New York Times review describes it:  "The new creature in the neighborhood is Lady Sylvia Marsh, who, as played by Amanda Donohoe, is the very essence of drawing-room naughtiness. That she is also the embodiment of the legendary white worm, or at least some sort of worm-related priestess, is icing on the cake...she may drive a sports car and wear fashionably deadly looking sunglasses, which suggest normalcy of a certain sort, but she also appears in kinky black underwear to polish off a victim..." Oh, and there's also a wonderfully louche Hugh Grant.  In other words, Raincoaster, our klassy Manor movie curator, has picked another delightful winner. So mark your calendar now for this coming Thursday , March 12th, at 9pm EST. See you there! Photo Credits: Ves...

Greetings, hors, and happy Manor Music Monday! Are you coherent? Can you stand? Or more to the point, do you miss that hour so cruelly lopped off on Saturday night? Perhaps you're feeling a bit loopy. Or exotic? Or more to the point, if you're feeling the voodoo that you doo (doo), then by all means, run, skip or skedaddle to "Social Lube," the Manor's exclusive cocktail lounge and nail salon, because tonight only, DJ Li'l Scratch will be playing outta sight tunes. Do you recognize this fella? Probably not, but you've definitely heard his music, and if you were around in the 1960s, then you know him very well, because there's no better practitioner of exotic lounge music. In fact, he's considered the best. Yes, it's Les Baxter, who started out as a popular swing band leader, then segued into "exotic" music in the mid-1950s, collaborating with the starry likes of Yma Sumac.  From there, he carved out his own path, and trust me, his mus...
