A former crewmember on the reboot of The Wonder Years has accused Fred Savage of forcing himself on her at a bar one night in a new Hollywood Reporter piece detailing some of the allegations that may have led to Savage’s ouster from the show earlier this year. Back in May, Savage was fired from his role as executive producer and director of The Wonder Years following an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct. Executives at Disney, which owns ABC — the network on which The Wonder Years aired — declined to share details, though reports at the time highlighted incidents of “verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior.” According to the new THR piece, Savage’s exit came after a group of six women who worked on the show sent a complaint to Disney and spoke to an HR executive about their concerns in February.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Ridiculed over Taiwan Restaurant Tweet
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, who has been bidding to become her agency’s loudest voice on social media, was mercilessly ridiculed on Tuesday for claiming that the large number of dumpling and noodle restaurants in Taipei conclusively proves Taiwan belongs to the Chinese Communist Party. Hua made this exceptionally silly claim on Twitter, a platform ordinary Chinese citizens are forbidden to access.

Hua’s Tweet declared checkmate over Taiwan with dumplings as her rook and noodles as her bishop. “Baidu Maps show that there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei.

She even included a screen shot of her search … [Read more...] about Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Ridiculed over Taiwan Restaurant Tweet
