Harvey Weinstein, Jimmy Choo's Tamara Mellon and designer Marios Schwab now have all exited Halston right behind Sarah Jessica Parker; a financial takeover by Hillco Capital is revealed to have caused the mass exodus.
Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesSarah Jessica Parker has been tapped to replace Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem in Lovelace, a biopic on one of the most famous adult film actresses of all time Linda Lovelace.
The announcement comes just days after Moore left the project after news surfaced that the 49-year-old actress had been taken to a Los Angeles hospital to treat “exhaustion” and her “overall health.” The next day, former Big Love star Chloe Sevigny was cast as a feminist journalist.
