REPORT: STROLLER COMPANY DROPS BLAC CHYNA AFTER BRAWL: Blac Chyna rolled over the line when she used her stroller as a weapon during a skirmish at Six Flags, TMZ reports. Sources tell the gossip outlet that the stroller co. Momiie has nixed its collaboration with Chyna.

DOES STRANGER THINGS CASTING CALL SUPPORT CLAIM DUFFER BROS. STOLE IDEA? TMZ has obtained a copy of a Stranger Things casting call in a lawsuit that is claiming the show’s creators (the Duffer brothers) stole the idea for the show from a short film called Montauk. Here’s the cringe-inducing verbiage: “You have a self tape request for the Netflix series Montauk starring Winona Ryder.” The casting call was from August of 2015 for the role of “Barbara.” The doc also lists Matt and Ross Duffer as writers and directors. They are being sued by Charlie Kessler who claims his short film Montauk was not only the source of their idea, but that he pitched them a project based on the film (and they passed). (TMZ)

PR FIRM DROPS HARVEY WEINSTEIN AS A CLIENT: Crisis PR firm Sitrick and Co. has dropped Harvey Weinstein as a client, Page Six reports.

Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct, including rape, by dozens of women and has been ousted from the company he founded, The Weinstein Company, and professional organizations, including the Academy. He denies allegations of nonconsensual sex. (Page Six)

To promote the initiative, Reynolds thinks pink. “Oh! Hello there! You may be wondering, ‘Why the pink suit?’ Well, so the world can see that I have a big ol’ heart-on-that’s heart with a ‘t’-for my new obsession: Pink. (The color, not the pop singer.) Personally, I’m more of a Cline kind of guy,” he says in a promo video. “Pink is tied like a beautiful ribbon to a cause very close to me: Cancer.” (E! News)
