Alyssa Milano took to social media to confirm that she was involved in a car accident after her uncle Mitchell Carp suffered a heart attack. The 48-year-old actress wrote on Instagram: “Yesterday, my family suffered a terrifying and traumatic event. I was a passenger in a car my uncle Mitch was driving when he suffered a serious heart attack, resulting in a car crash. I am grateful to the people who stopped to help us. I’ll never be able to thank them enough for the care and attention they, along with the first responders, doctors, nurses, and staff at UCLA Medical Center paid to him and to me.”

Milano and Carp were on a Los Angeles freeway on Tuesday, August 17, when another vehicle hit their car and he became unconscious behind the wheel. Milano hit the brakes of the 2020 Ford Edge with her hand, but the SUV drifted and collided with a car in another lane before stopping. She gave her uncle CPR until first responders arrived.

Milano continued her Instagram post, saying: “Uncle Mitch is such an important part of our family. He’s with us every day, spending time with my children and present in every meaningful part of our lives. He’s still in the hospital, and we are unsure if he will recover. Please, take this as your inspiration to get CPR certified. You don’t know when you’ll be called upon to save a life. The American Red Cross and many hospitals and other organizations offer regular classes. It’s such a small effort and can have a huge impact.”

Bob Dylan is being sued by a woman who alleges she was “sexually molested and abused” by the musician at 12 years old, back in 1965. The musician (born Robert Allan Zimmerman) was accused in a lawsuit filed in NY of sexually abusing a child at his Chelsea Hotel apartment in 1965 after giving her both drugs and alcohol.

The lawsuit states that the now-80-year-old Dylan groomed the girl — who filed the lawsuit under the initials J.C. — for six weeks prior to the assault, “leaving her emotionally scarred and psychologically damaged to this day.” The lawsuit states that Dylan, then 24 years old, “exploited his status as a musician” to gain her trust “as part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse J.C.”  J.C,  now 65 and living in Connecticut, alleges that she suffers from depression, anxiety and other psychological damages of “permanent and lasting natures” that have “incapacitated” her from her regular activities. She’s seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial.

A spokesperson for Dylan denied the allegations, saying in a statement: “The 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.” In a response to the spokesperson’s statement, J.C.’s attorney Daniel Isaacs said: “We look forward to seeing them in a court of law. The complaint speaks for itself. We will prove the allegations in a court of law.”

Blair even says she believed she was “shooting the final days of (her) life” at one point during filming.  Blair said in the trailer (which can be viewed here):  “I was told to make plans for dying. Not because I have MS, because I’m fighting MS.”   When Blair first revealed her diagnosis in 2018, she said she had been experiencing symptoms for years, leading her to believe she might have had the disease for more than a decade. She wrote in an Instagram post at the time: “I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am in an exacerbation. I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy.

Suicide Squad producer Peter Safran explains why we don’t see Will Smith in the movie sequel: “We discussed it, it was more of a schedule thing than anything else. We knew we had to start shooting in September because, frankly, we knew probably earlier than other people did that James was going to come back and do Guardians.  So it was really important that we started shooting when we started shooting and Will wasn’t available, and that kind of made it easier all around. What are you going to do? He’s not available. So it’s also nice to, frankly, help separate it from the first movie, I think, in a greater fashion.”
