Actress Gretchen Mol &#8212; the subject of a notorious Weinstein gossip &#8220;blind item&#8221; from 2009 &#8212; was forced this week to explicitly deny the long-circulating rumor that she willingly slept with the producer for roles. (By the end of the week, there was a new blind item saying Mol was lying about her denial, showing how hard it is for a woman to escape from malicious story-telling.)<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday, October 11: For this week&#8217;s YouTube video, I tipsily talked to my friend Syl Tang about her new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/disrobed-syl-tang\/1125812390\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Disrobed<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4e67KN7VzIg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saturday, October 14: <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/tag-us-on-instagram\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I love it when you tag your Wendy Brandes Jewelry on Instagram<\/a>!
