Pauley Perrette will never return to 'NCIS,' claims she is 'terrified' of former co-star Mark Harmon - Fox News

Pauley Perrette is making it clear: she is never returning to "NCIS."

The actress, 50, took to Twitter on Friday to explain to her followers that she is "not coming back" to the CBS procedural drama "ever," claiming she is "terrified" of former co-star Mark Harmon.

“NO I AM NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?),” she wrote before alleging: “I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it."

'NCIS' ACTRESS PAULEY PERRETTE CLAIMS SHE LEFT THE SHOW OVER 'MULTIPLE PHYSICAL ASSAULTS'

"I have a new show that is SAFE AND HAPPY!" she added. "You’ll love it! #HappyPlace Love y’all!”

Reps for CBS and Harmon did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

PAULEY PERRETTE LEAVING 'NCIS' 

Perrette left "NCIS" in May 2018 after 16 years on the series. She alleged she exited the show over "multiple physical assaults."

As previously reported, days after her character forensic scientist Abby Sciuto's final appearance on the beloved procedural, Perrette released a series of ominous tweets. In them, she alleged abuse on the set that she claimed was being covered up by a “machine” run by “a very rich, very powerful” publicity entity.

On Friday, Perrette posted pictures of an individual -- who she claims was her crew member on "NCIS" -- with a bruised eye and stitches.

"You think I didn’t expect blow back? You got me wrong. THIS happened To my crew member and I fought like hell to keep it from happening again! To protect my crew!" she wrote alongside the photos, before alleging: "And then I was physically assaulted for saying NO!?and I lost my job."

Although Perrette did not share when the alleged assault happened, last May The Wrap reported that in 2016 a crew member was bitten by Harmon's dog, which ultimately required stitches. According to the outlet, citing sources, the actress "objected when the dog was allowed to return" to set following the incident and "the tension between the two stars" became "bad."

PAULEY PERRETTE THANKS CBS FOR ITS RESPONSE TO HER ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS 

In a statement to Fox News from CBS at the time, the television studio said: “Pauley Perrette had a terrific run on ‘NCIS’ and we are all going to miss her. Over a year ago, Pauley came to us with a workplace concern. We took the matter seriously and worked with her to find a resolution. We are committed to a safe work environment on all our shows."

In response, Perrette took to Twitter to thank CBS for its statement, indicating that it wasn't to blame for her assault allegations.

"I want to thank my studio and network CBS They have always been so good to me and always had my back," she wrote.

At the time, CBS would not comment on any follow-up questions about the nature of the workplace complaint or exactly what kind of resolution was met.

Weekend Movie Review: 'Dark Phoenix' - Towleroad

Phoenix (Sophie Turner) can’t deal with compounding disappointments of the X-franchise

Don’t they have any healing and creative rejuvenation among the super-powered mutations at Charles Xavier’s School for Gifted Children? If so, they needed them to lay their hands on this franchise for a few years before making another bungled attempt at the beloved Dark Phoenix storyline (from the 1980 comic books). But that’s a rhetorical question. If Dark Phoenix (2019) is any indication, mutations cannot save this franchise.

When we return to our characters, much has changed since the last visit. Which is fine since who wants to be reminded of X-Men Apocalypse? The X-Men are now no longer shunned by society but held up as heroes. Professor Xavier (James McAvoy, phoning this one in… but then who isn’t?) has a direct phone to the White House, like a Batman / Commissioner Gordon sitch gone national.

Matchy-matchy costumes for better PR

Their first mission, which serves as kind of a second prologue to the over and underwritten film, involves saving a space shuttle crew from imminent death. For underwritten/performed reason this is making Raven (Jessica Lawrence) nervous. The mission goes wrong with Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) appearing to explode with the doomed ship. But what’s this — she feels great with not a scratch on her? Well, not so fast. Her power is now off the charts and mental inhibitors that Xavier had placed on her as a child without her knowledge (uh-oh) have distintegrated as well. Her powers going haywire is bad enough for the team, but things get worse when super-powered mysterious aliens arrive on Earth (led by Jessica Chastain, going Terminator-franchise minimalist though she’s not playing a robot). The aliens intend to use Jean Grey, now nicknamed Phoenix for her remarkable resurrection, for their own nefarious purposes.

Battle sequences, plot contrivances, contractually obligated and completely joyless performances follow…

Quicksilver vs Phoenix. Everyone gets a turn against her. Guess who wins?

To be fair, Dark Phoenix does deliver a few meager thrills. The film makes you wait for Magneto and it’s wonderful to see Michael Fassbender’s effortlessly intense charisma back onscreen (where’s he been since marrying Alicia Vikander? That’s a long honeymoon). He clearly doesn’t want to be there, but then, neither does his character so it works. Disco-era mutant Dazzler gets a cameo which is irrelevant to the plot but still works as fan service (we never thought we’d see her onscreen!). Nightcrawler’s (Kodi Smit McPhee) teleportation skills are put to visually strong use, primarily because they look so different than everyone else’s computer generated gifts. A climactic action sequence on a speeding train goes on twice as long as it should and is too chaotic to follow well but it has two action-bliss jolts within if you’re patient about waiting for them.

What doesn’t work? Everything else.

Sophie Turner and Jessica Chastain briefly unite but to what end?

The franchise has never done right by Cyclops (Tye Sheridan now, James Marsden earlier) or Storm (Alexandra Shipp now, Halle Berry then) and that continues here, with no effort to course correct. [SPOILER] And for a story that should feel apocalyptically large on an existential level, there is only one major death, and that one plays like it’s appeasing someone who was chafing against their endless contract. [/SPOILER] Stranger still given the budgets on superhero movies, it’s visually “small,” as if the X-Men and the aliens are the only people who exist in the known universe. One action sequence takes place in the suburbs but nobody appears to be at home. Another takes place in a single block of a city but feels no bigger than an unruly block party. Someone called the cops.

It’s all terribly unsatisfying.

Sophie Turner does what she can with her undermotivated central part, but there’s no magic in the performance to save the movie from itself. The X-Men movies originally leaned hard into allegory “mutants = persecuted minorities. Hatred is bad!” but this one barely knows what to do with something that should be easily resonant and message-movie flexible like losing control of your body or giving yourself over to rage.

Michael Fassbender, werking a metal collar.

The other actors have much less to do, only repeating beats we’ve seen them do multiple times before. The franchise is in a time loop after all, returning to this story again with different actors playing the same roles, but not, through the usual reboot format. It’s little wonder that everyone is merely going through the motions between “action” and “cut”.

We repeat: Mutations cannot save the X-Men. No half-measure cast changes or director swaps will do. Dark Phoenix is not, perhaps, the worst movie in the franchise, just the dullest. But when more movies from a franchise are fighting for Worst Of honors than Best Of, it’s time to bury it.

It’s their funeral since Disney bought Fox, so this is the last non Marvel Studios, X-Men movies

 Logan knew that, somehow, and went to the grave honorably. Dark Phoenix tries to follow suit, in its own funereal way, but without that earlier film’s conviction, genre-twisting, and fine performances. Dark Phoenix strays wildly from the famous 1980 comic book storyline but still honors its downer outcome. It’s a bummer… intentionally and otherwise.

Awesome Gameplay Footage Released For STAR WARS JEDI: FALLEN ORDER - GeekTyrant

EA and Respawn Entertainment have already shared a trailer for the upcoming game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order offering us some cool cinematic footage and story details. Today we have a new trailer to share with you and it puts a focus on the impressive gameplay action that the game will feature.

I was already sold on the game thanks to the first trailer, but this new one is definitely getting me way more excited to play the game! It looks awesome! I’ll let the footage speak for itself.

The player will control a character named Cal Kestis who is a Jedi padawan that survived Order 66. Cal had been hiding from the Empire the best he could to ensure his survival. But, they eventually catch up with him and if forced to survive as the Inquisition hunts him down. As you’ll see, Forest Whitaker’s character Saw Gerrera also appears in the game. And, of course, there’s also a new droid.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is an action-adventure game set after Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Develop your Force abilities, hone your lightsaber techniques, and explore the ancient mysteries of a long-lost civilization—all while staying one step ahead of the Empire and its deadly Inquisitors.

Jedi: Fallen Order will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 15th, 2019.

The Duchess Of Sussex Made Her First Royal Appearance Since Welcoming Baby Archie - BuzzFeed News

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made her first royal appearance since giving birth to son Archie last month. The 37-year-old joined other members of the royal family on Saturday for Trooping The Colour, the Queen's annual birthday parade.

The Queen turned 93 on April 21, but Trooping the Colour is the official celebration of the monarch's birthday and her ongoing reign.

Meghan took a break from her maternity leave to ride in a carriage alongside husband, Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cornwall, and her sister-in-law Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.

She wore a navy Givenchy look by her wedding dress designer, Clare Waight Keller, and a matching navy hat by Noel Stewart.

Eagle-eyed fans also noticed a new piece of jewellery on the new mum's wedding finger, which appeared to be an additional band.

Meghan is wearing a third ring on her ring finger - a delicate pave-set band - alongside her engagement and wedding rings.

The couple, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary three weeks ago, welcomed their first child together on May 6. Aside from this appearance when the new parents introduced Archie to the world two days after his birth, the Duchess has remained out of the public eye.

Meghan was noticeably absent from the past week's events commemorating the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, and a state banquet at Buckingham Palace held in honour of US President Donald Trump.

Ahead of his arrival, the American president was accused of describing the LA born Duchess as "nasty", which he denied. Meghan had described the President as "misogynistic" in an old interview from 2016.

Anyway, it looks like Meghan may be back on the royal scene — at least for the big family occasions.
