Speaker 1 (00:00):
Owen's Entertainment Report He's on the Press show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Actor John Hamm is under fire over resurfaced allegations from
his college days, painting a very different picture of the
Mad Men star that we all know today. Back in
the early nineties, he was allegedly part of a violent
fraternity hazing situation at the University of Texas that left
a pledge with a fractured spine and nearly a lost kidney,

(00:23):
and journalist Maureen Callahan is giving all this new attention
on her podcast called The Nerve, saying John allegedly beat
the pledge with a wooden paddle, set his jeans on fire,
and even dragged him by his privates with a clawhammer,
and the incident led to a police investigation, I should say,
but John avoided conviction and has often brushed it off
in interviews, once calling it quote a bummer of a

(00:46):
thing that happened, So he's not denying that something happened.
Maureen is calling now for accountability, noting that Hollywood seems
to have forgiven him and given him a pass because
of his charm and good look. She also threw shade
at his celebrity circle for doing the same and even
called him out for allegedly jumping his longtime partner Jennifer
Westfeld after making it big only to marry a younger

(01:09):
co star. So listen, bad hazing. I'm not saying he
did it, but it does exist. It even existed when
I was in college. I graduated in twenty thirteen, so
it was very much a thing, and I think it
was even more so a thing back in the day.
I don't know his involvement, but it's really unfortunate some
of the things that have happened. Former NFL player Mel
Owens is the new Golden Bachelor for season two. The

(01:31):
sixty six year old was selected as the ninth overall
pick during the nineteen eighty one draft by the Rams.
He now works as a lawyer in Orange County. He
was previously married and has two sons, but ABC says
he's looking to find love again. Writing rooted in the
simple joys of companionship, sharing lives, everyday moments, making plans
for the future, and growing stronger together as a couple
is his gold Jerry Turner served as the first Golden

(01:54):
Bachelor in twenty twenty three, and Joan Vassos was the
first Golden bachelorette last year. People magazine unveiled their annual
Most Beautiful Person addition yesterday, and they selected Demi Moore
as the most beautiful. They wrote at sixty two, she
has earned her resilience drawing from a life filled with
trials and triumphs, from a troubled childhood and marital ups

(02:15):
and downs to trailblazing roles and the joy of being
a mom to her three daughters, Rumor, Scout and Tulula,
whom she shares with Ex and Bruce Willis and who
still bathed together. They just told us against our will.
And lastly, there's a Toys r US live action movie
in the works, and I'm kind of excited about this.
It aims to capture that childhood wonder in a modern,
fast paced adventure that taps into the brand's relevance across

(02:37):
It's more than seventy years in the toy industry, and
I still remember my mom bringing me to Chicago and
getting to go you know, I don't know or just
even oh no am I thinking about Oh I.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Am, I had the same pilgrimage as yeah, oh my bad.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Okay, well there that was also they should make a
movie about that one too.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
They should they should make it be right, you know what?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Or Big I guess would was a similar.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Experience going to toys r U. Yeah, but it was
just like, oh my god, I want everything. Yeah. Yeah,
Schwartz was only in big cities, if.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I recall, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Well, when I was really little, really little, it was
the Tom Hanks movie Big, Yeah, and he went to
the one in I guess New York. I think it
was they had a big piano on the floor and
you'd like you'd jump around you saw that one. No,
but I do they have it the one here in Chicago.
It might have been I don't know that jumping on it.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
So yeah, yeah, they did happen because I remember watching
Big and then I wanted to do that.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I think their thing was like there was so much
experiential stuff, Like you go to toys I rest you
didn't really get it. Like they might have like one
Super Nintendo or something like this is way back in
the day you could play with, you know, but like
they didn't have all the Schwartz you actually go in
there and play with stuff. Yeah, which I'm sure was
a parent's worst nightmare because it's like, oh, great. Now
they're hooked to it, and I said, to play it.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
You're spending the day there, Yeah, and lots of money.
