Director Oliver Stone responded Tuesday to sexual harassment accusations made by actress Melissa Gilbert, who claimed that the director tried to humiliate her during an audition for the 1991 Jim Morrison biopic “The Doors.” The accusation was made Monday on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM talk show, when Gilbert said Stone wanted her to do a scene he said he wrote just for her which involved saying, “Do me, baby,” repeatedly while on her hands and knees. Gilbert said she refused to do it and left the audition room in tears, and that she believed he did it to get back at her.

Update (November 21): Oliver Stone has made an official statement to Deadline regarding Gilbert’s harassment accusation: “We auditioned dozens of actors for roles in ‘The Doors’ and it was made clear from the outset that our film was going to be a raunchy, no-holds-barred rock ‘n’ roll movie. Anyone auditioning was told the scenes would be rehearsed and performed from a script, with my casting director, Risa Bramon Garcia, present throughout the process to ensure a safe environment for all actors who auditioned.”
Earlier: Melissa Gilbert, the actress best known for starring in the television series “Little House on the Prairie,” recently appeared on Andy Cohen’s radio show “Radio Andy” and shared an Oliver Stone audition story she calls “humiliating and horrid.” The audition was to play Jim Morrison’s girlfriend Pamela Courson in “The Doors.” According to Gilbert, Stone made her audition a “special scene” that was a “really dirty,...

Melissa Gilbert says she once “ran out of the room crying” after an audition for Oliver Stone‘s 1991 movie, The Doors.
During an interview Monday on Andy Cohen‘s exclusive SiriusXM channel, Radio Andy, the Little House on the Prairie actress alleged Stone “humiliated” her while she was auditioning for the part of Pamela Courson in the film, which chronicles the career of the famous ’60s rock band and its lead singer, Jim Morrison. (Meg Ryan ultimately landed the role.)
“There were moments where there were men in more powerful positions,” she said of her experience in the industry over the years.

Former actress Caitlin O’Heaney has joined the chorus of women speaking out about their experiences being assaulted in the entertainment industry. The “Tales of the Gold Monkey” star spoke to BuzzFeed — breaking a decades-old settlement and nondisclosure agreement in order to do so — about an alleged assault at the hands of actor Val Kilmer during an early audition for the Oliver Stone docudrama film “The Doors.”
In 1989, O’Heaney was set to audition for the lead female role in the film about Jim Morrison and his sixties-era rock band, Morrison’s girlfriend Pamela Courson (the role later played by Meg Ryan in the film). Her audition pages included a scene in which Morrison and Pamela get into an argument, and while the scene involves the throwing of objects at each other, it does not include any hitting or slapping.

Andy Cohen has all the feels after celebrating good friend John Mayer‘s 40th birthday in Rio de Janeiro.
The Watch What Happens Live host took to Instagram Friday to post a second birthday tribute to the musician, who is in Brazil for a run of shows this week and next.
“One final salute to @johnmayer as we put a bow around our Celebration of 40 Years of Excellence,” Cohen, 49, captioned a photo of the “Gravity” singer standing in a salute position on board a boat.
“My heart is busting out with a whole lotta feels after an experience of a lifetime.

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)
This week’s question: What is the best performance in an otherwise bad movie?
Joshua Rothkopf (@joshrothkopf), Time Out New York
There’s a Cult of Val (Kilmer, obviously) that I proudly belong to. Mainly it revolves around movies like “Real Genius,” “Top Secret!” and “Heat,” all excellent movies that don’t fit the parameters of this question. But you really don’t know Val until you’ve made your peace with Oliver Stone’s beyond-awful “The Doors.” The apocryphal anecdotes around Kilmer’s deep dive into Jim Morrison are insane: insisting that no one look him in the eye on set, wearing the same leather pants for months,...

Netflix, Amazon Prime, countless streaming platforms showcasing the very best telly… remind us again why we ever need to leave our sofa in search of quality content? Today’s well futuristic technology has made the idea of getting up off our bums and going to the cinema seem a little like a lot of hard work. Especially considering how easy it is to find some just-released movies on shady streaming sites, if you were so inclined. However if the novelty-clown-shoe-sized-success of Andy Muschietti’s It is anything to go by, it’s clear that audiences can still be convinced to make the trek to cinemas. The question is: what exactly does a film or a cinema have to do to lure back its once-loyal punters?
Could it be IMAX? The mega-screen cinema experience literally fills your peepers with movie-goodness and certainly appeals to some cinephiles – but it’s not perfect.

Image Source: Getty / Redferns Just hearing the name Jimi Hendrix conjures an electric energy; after all, this was the guy who performed a now-iconic rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Woodstock and set his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival. But just a few years after hitting it big in the music world, Jimi's life would end in a very sad way. In the days before his death, Jimi hadn't been feeling great; he was overworked, wasn't sleeping, and reportedly had the flu. On Sept. 17, 1970, Jimi was in London with his girlfriend, a German painter named Monika Dannemann. The two spent the evening at her apartment at the Samarkand Hotel in Notting Hill, chilling out, smoking hashish, and drinking tea. They had dinner and shared a bottle of red wine, then Jimi took a bath and Monika drove him to a party hosted by one of Jimi's business associates,...

Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been under fire for a line of “vintage” tees that were released by their eponymous clothing line, Kendall + Kylie, last week. The “Rap vs. Rock” T-shirt lines featured the sisters’ faces superimposed over images of famous musicians including Tupac Shakur, Notorious B.I.G. and The Doors. Celebrities such as Paris Jackson and Kelly and Sharon Osbourne spoke out, The Doors issued a cease and desist letter and Notorious B.I.G.’s mom, Voletta Wallace shared her disappointment on Instagram. Although the sisters issued a formal apology and recalled the shirts, the backlash continues.

I spent many hours of my youth watching Top Gun - specifically, the volleyball scene, which was probably the first indication that I was into dudes. While many Top Gun viewers lusted after Tom Cruise's Maverick character (who, I'll admit, also filled out his jeans quite nicely), I always crushed harder on Val Kilmer, who played Iceman. After that, I set out to familiarize myself with Kilmer's entire film catalog, starting with his role as a teen heartthrob in the comedy Top Secret. My crush deeply intensified at age 13, when Kilmer transformed himself to play Jim Morrison in The Doors, and I continued to admire his acting and his unconventional choice of roles over the years. (Side note: how hot is the name Val Kilmer?) Sadly, 57-year-old Kilmer has been out of the public eye for a while; he acknowledged his battle with throat cancer publicly for the first time in May 2017. But he recently resurfaced to reassure fans that he's "still got it" should he be called up for the Top Gun sequel. I've taken this as an opportunity to take a walk down memory lane with 40+ photos of Val Kilmer to remind myself that my decades-long crush is completely justified.

Oliver Stone’s bio-pic about 60’s prog-rock band The Doors spent over ten years in development, running through several studios and potential leading men before settling on Val Kilmer as the band’s self-aggrandizing/self-destructive lead singer, Jim Morrison. Critical reaction was mixed and the box-office weak, but all of Oliver Stone’s films are passion projects and The Doors is no different: like Morrison himself, Stone’s movie is never dull or doctrinaire.

The Notorious B.I.G. was shot to death 20 years ago on March 9, 1997. The rapper’s murder will be forever linked with that of his peer Tupac Shakur, though the pair are just in a long line of musicians who’ve shuffled off the mortal coil under less-than-clear circumstances. Even if the ink has dried on the official paperwork, rumors still abound about …

You know, Jim Morrison of The Doors once said, “Show me the way to the next comic shop.” Okay, maybe that wasn’t the exact lyric, but, thanks to Marvel and the wonders of modern technology, you can say just that and expect swift results.
As part of a new marketing initiative, the publisher will make use of GeoTargeting tech in an effort to draw new and old readers into comic shops. Quite frankly, it’s an ingenious strategy when you consider that millions of people who may have no comic book reading experience may have just viewed the latest Marvel Studios film and are looking to sample the source material. Sure, you can find some of this stuff at mainstream booksellers, but the comic shop offers a different type of environment; I’d say it’s comparable to choosing a specialized video game retailer over your nearest superstore.

The Chateau Marmont, Hollywood’s most infamous hotel, makes an appearance, as the final real-life Los Angeles location featured in the film, which has been called a love letter to the city. But it’s not simply a quaint bit of nostalgia like the Rialto Theatre or Angel’s Flight.

One of my personal favorite things that happens with brilliant shows like the Simpsons, is when people make discoveries about past episodes that either ring true today or predicted something about future events that came true. We tend to find many of these in not just television shows but past interviews (remember when Jim Morrison said that music would become electronic in the 70s?). So today when I cam across this “Bear Patrol” clip from a 1996 Simpsons episode I had to share it. It’s called “Bear Control” and it strikes a super close resemblance to the political climate the

Music industry figure Danny Fields – who knew Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground – is a wry raconteur full of spit and vinegar in this engaging documentary
Danny Fields is one of those mysterious figures in the music industry you often see in black and white band photographs grinning away with his arms around the talent, too hip-looking to be a venue manager, too square to be a dealer. Turns out, he’s an interesting character, a wry raconteur full of spit and vinegar even now in his late 70s, who has had a varied music business career, and who was canny about keeping recordings of conversations , which enrich this documentary by Brendan Toller. A hyper-smart, gay, Jewish boy from Queens who studied law at Harvard, he became a music journalist and was the guy who reported in the Us that John Lennon had said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus.

Even legends have to start somewhere.
For the Doors — the psych rock pioneers who pushed the limits of minds and music with tracks like “Light My Fire,” “Love Me Two Times” and “L.A. Woman”— it can all be traced to the London Fog on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip. Just months after forming, the nascent group was offered a residency at the down-at-the-heels club in early 1966. Having played little more than the odd college party for their UCLA film school friends, the London Fog became the Doors’ home base and testing ground. Six nights a week, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.

Over the weekend, Eric Prydz celebrated Halloween in style with a number of choice DJ appearances, hitting Southern California’s Escape Psycho Circus before heading over to Las Vegas for a performance at Marquee Dayclub. The Swedish legend took the opportunity to test out some unreleased material at both shows, offering up a total of four IDs for fans to enjoy.
We previously heard “Escape ID2” yesterday, and now we have a second unreleased track from the same set to preview. The sample features a relaxed dreamy vibe as spiralling arpeggios glide over mechanical techno rhythms. The track slowly evolves in classic progressive fashion, as lush pads join the mix while filter swept synth melodies continue to expand and contract. It’s believed that both Escape IDs will eventually surface under the Pryda moniker.

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
While the new movies reigned at the box office this past weekend, both Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven (Sony) and the animated Storks (Warner Bros.) didn’t fare nearly as well as our projections, both falling short by about $10 million. The Magnificent Seven, starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt, fared decently with $34.7million, which is about the average for Washington’s films, but the fourth highest opening for a Western after last year’s The Revenant, the animated Rango, and Cowboys and Aliens. Storks’ $21.3 million opening wasn’t great compared to other animated September releases with Sony still holding the September opening record with Hotel Transylvania 2, but it should continue to do well with no other animated movies opening for another month.

Prepare to meet Danny Fields. A music industry whiz kid who helped make punk rock, well, punk rock, Fields has lived a thousand lives since his rise in the ’60s. A music manager, publicist, journalist and author, Fields has done it all, even though he could have quite easily rested on certain career highlights like “signed and managed Iggy and the Stooges” or “signed the MC5” or “managed The Ramones” or “worked with Jim Morrison and The Velvet Underground.” And that’s just a taste of Fields’ wide-ranging career.
So what could possibly be next for Fields? How about his very own documentary? “Danny Says,” from filmmaker Brendan Toller, promises to deliver a full look at Fields’ live and legacy (as aided by the man himself), complete with something for both music industry veterans and newbies looking to see where it all began.

Richie pursues the King of Rock n Roll, Mr Elvis Presley, in the latest episode of HBO and Sky Atlantic's Vinyl...
This review contains spoilers.
1.7 The King Of I
In some ways, episodes six and seven of this season could be regarded as a connected pair. Both episodes worked as an extended examination of Richie’s emotional travails and both of them used a particular narrative device to do so. In last week’s episode, the twist was that, in thinking that Ernst really was accompanying him, Richie knew less than the audience (assuming that, in this post Fight Club/Sixth Sense cultural environment, you all saw the reveal coming). This week, it’s Richie who knows more about his Las Vegas adventure and the viewer who has to be clued in after the fact. It was a subtle way of suggesting that Richie is back in control,...

The 27 Club, for those blissfully unaware of this legendary coincidence in rock and roll, is the name given to a collection of musicians who tragically met their end at the tender age of 27.
Popularized after the death of Jim Morrison in 1971 – who was the fourth famous 27-year-old musician to die over the course of two short years, after Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin – The 27 Club has taken more than 50 promising musicians since blues legend Robert Johnson famously kicked off in 1938.
Some believe the trend to be a legitimate curse, citing vague supernatural reasons, while other conspiracy theorists cite more sinister explanations for why so many talented figures in the music industry meet their untimely demise at this specific age. It remains one of the most unfortunate coincidences in the history of music, and with each subsequent musician who joins the club,...

The adage "sex, drugs and rock & roll" can best be used describe the music scene in the Seventies, an era where all genres were fueled by everything from alcohol and marijuana to cocaine and Quaaludes. The third installment of 1973: Shaping the Culture, a new video series from Rolling Stone presented by HBO's new show Vinyl, delves into the influence – both creative and destructive – drugs had on the music scene.
"Music is affected by the drugs you take, which is completely accurate," journalist Legs McNeil says. "When you're taking cocaine and drinking,...

We’ve all heard the unfortunate side effects of living the rock n’ roll lifestyle. For evidence of just how brutal the combination of too much money, fame, and access to drugs can be, we need look no further than the fateful 27 Club, which has claimed far too many young rockstars.
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse…all of them took the long walk to the other side. And then there are some examples of musicians pushing the envelope in extreme ways that leave you wondering how they didn’t die.
Some rockstars are just luckier than others and have somehow managed to escape the icy grip of death–a few on multiple occasions. Nikki Sixx and Keith Richards are the poster boys for rockstars who, despite all logic and historical precedent, have astonishingly managed to not be dead yet.

Bradley Cooper has certainly proven his acting chops and portrayed some very memorable characters throughout the course of his thriving career, in some of which he led his infamous wolfpack to Vegas, played a financial wizard, a famous sniper, a bi-polar teacher, and an over-ambitious FBI agent. In his next film Burnt, he sucessfully and bravely takes on the role of a talented, yet deeply troubled, yet determined Michelin star chef. As if his fans needed any more reason to be smitten, he not only oozes charm, but the sexy actor also speaks French, is an advocate for wage equality for women and can cook too. Yes, please!
Starring alongside Sienna Miller, Daniel Bruhl, Sam Keeley, Uma Thurman, Matthew Rhys and Emma Thompson, Bradley shines in this role, as he must make peace with a dark past and endless burnt bridges (no pun intended) and redeem himself. The star studded cast,...

Bill Murray couldn't care less if people think he's obnoxious. In a 1988 interview that PBS recently animated as part of its Blank on Blank series, he told journalist T.J. English the secret of his jerky success. "There are a lot of actors that are more talented than me at Second City who quit it before they even got to a paying status," he said. "I had no other option. I'm still just like a punk kid, really. I'm just an obnoxious guy who can make it appear charming. That's what they pay me to do.

In the mid-Sixties, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson spent about a year with the world's most notorious biker gang to write the book Hell's Angels, which came out in 1967. He spoke with radio broadcaster Studs Terkel that year for an interview that PBS has now animated whimsically for its Blank on Blank series.
"The Angels claim that they don't look for trouble," Thompson said in the interview. "They just try to live peaceful lives and be left alone, but on the other hand they go out and put themselves into...

A rare 1971 interview with Dustin Hoffman, in which the actor discusses fame, sex, drugs, gang violence, growing pains and playing Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy, is the latest archival tape to be animated for PBS' ongoing Blank on Blank series.
The wide-ranging clip begins with Hoffman's ambivalence about fame and becoming a recognizable figure, which took an absurd turn when he "upstaged" an accidental Weather Underground bombing in the building next to his apartment. But despite his rising profile, Hoffman noted that young people — whom, a few years removed from The Graduate,...

Jack Black and Boy George channeled their inner Jim Morrison on Monday’s episode of “Conan.” The actor and the pop singer both appeared on the show and admitted they were fans of the 1960’s rock band. O’Brien then encouraged both of them to get up onstage and sing a Doors song. Black and George obliged, with original Door guitarist Robby Krieger joining them. The pair belted out the classic song “Hello, I Love You” to a very enthusiastic reaction from the crowd. See video: 'Goosebumps' Books Come Alive in First Trailer Featuring Jack Black as Cranky...

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.
You know Plinko, the "Price Is Right" game? Monday night on "The Tonight Show," the human perfection that is "Ant-Man" star Paul Rudd did a version with Jimmy Fallon called Drinko, requiring them to potentially drink things like "Bacon Soda" and Pickle Juice. They both had to drink Gravy, which is too nasty, but one of them ended up having to mix Gravy with Tequila: "They call it 'Thanksgiving' south of the border."
In his interview, Paul talked to Jimmy about trying to do a full "Basic Instinct" on his "Ant-Man" co-star Michael Douglas. It failed. But it's hilarious. It ended up looking like he was "pleasuring himself" while Michael was doing a monologue.

Asif Kapadia's power is a quiet one, particularly with his latest documentary, Amy, a somber and appropriately lyrical examination of lost talent and unearned potential from the late 27-year-old jazz singer Amy Winehouse. Kapadia uses his refined talents to his full advantage, archiving a wealth of home footage and unbridled access to those who knew and loved the "Rehab" singer the most to create a deftly insightful look into an artist so few knew beyond the tabloids. It's empathetic, sure, but Kapadia doesn't let sensitivity dictate the story until the end, when the emotions are not only earned but have flourished. He's also not afraid to examine the details which lead to her demise with stern focus and concentrated attention, rarely sugarcoating the problems in her life and those directly, and indirectly, responsible. It's easy to say Winehouse's tragedy stemmed from a lack of attention she so desperately sought and needed.

The Voice‘s Kimberly Nichole would like to remind America that “Black Girls Rock” isn’t just an awards show, it’s a musical reality.
“Throughout my career, it’s been frustrating to me that when I say, ‘I sing rock music,’ people are always surprised,” says Season 8’s sixth-place finisher. “People don’t know the history of rock music, how it evolved from the African-American spirituals, from the sharecroppers singing songs, to the blues, and then to rock music.”

What’s more, adds Kimberly, “music is universal, and anybody can sing any style anyhow.
