- Oh, dear. Bristol Palin has reportedly called off her engagement to Levi Johnston:

- A cinematographer who worked on Casey Affleck’s upcoming Joaquin Phoenix documentary has become the second woman to sue the actor/director for sexual harassment: Magdalena Gorka is suing Affleck for $2.25 million, and her lawsuit claims that “during the middle of the night, (Gorka) awoke to find Affleck lying in the bed next to her. Unbeknownst to (Gorka), Affleck had entered the bedroom while she was asleep and crawled into the bed. When she woke up, Affleck was curled up next to her in the bed wearing only his underwear and a t-shirt. He had his arm around her, was caressing her back, his face was within inches of hers and his breath reeked of alcohol.” Affleck was also sued earlier this month by a female producer from the film, who also claims that Affleck sexually harassed her.

Today I visited a temporary shelter for women and girls who experienced sexual violence or are at risk, where women leaders work to make sure there are medical and legal services as well as counselling and livelihood training. This needs to be done on a large scale and they need our support.” [ContactMusic]
