| What a drag … ten smoking hot female stars who can’t resist the cigs - The Sun Posted: 27 Nov 2020 08:52 AM PST STARS light up Hollywood – as they enjoy a cheeky puff on a cigarette. Cheryl Coleis one of dozens of celebs to have been snapped enjoying a ciggie in a club. The 37-year-old Geordie was seen dancing and puffing on a fag in Las Vegas, where lighting up is still legal in nightspots not serving food. But the former Girls Aloud star is not the only female star you may not have expected to smoke. Here we take a look at ten other female stars who've lit up ... Kate Beckinsale 10 English beauty Kate, 47, ruined her fit and healthy look by adding a fag to her gym outfit. The actress picked up the habit at 16 and has only quit once — three years after getting pregnant with daughter Lily Mo Sheen. She said: "I try and take lots of vitamins and I don`t drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke. You'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring." Keira Knightley 10 She's been known for having a smouldering cigarette between her lips on set — but who knew the stunning actress was partial to a puff off-screen too? The 35-year-old English rose was caught puffing on an unsightly brown cigar as she strolled the streets with a guitar slung across her shoulder. It looks like she's taken a leaf out of rock star hubbie James Righton's book. Jessica Alba 10 She may be a clean-cut star, but this mum-of-two is frequently spotted enjoying the filthy habit. The Sin City actress reportedly turned to fags to ditch her pregnancy weight after giving birth to daughter Haven in 2011. A source close to the star said: "She's been chain smoking lately to keep her Holly Willoughby 10 Holly smoke – she's at it too! The This Morning presenter was snapped taking a drag at a sun-kissed V Festival in 2009. The 37-year-old mum-of-two doesn't seem to have given the fags a boot – she was recently pictured enjoying a ciggie and champers with Made In Chelsea pal Francis Boulle. Miley Cyrus 10 Wild child Miley seems to be all about the healthy lifestyle – indulging in But this picture reveals the 27-year-old is no stranger to fags, and she's Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, she said: "I think alcohol is way more "I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that Kate Winslet 10 The 44-year-old actress, who rolls her own cigarettes, picked up the habit on the set of Sense and Sensibility when she was 19. Speaking to Vanity Fair in 2008, the star – who is now pregnant with her third child – said: "I don't smoke around my kids. "Like that makes it any better that I smoke at all, because obviously it doesn't. But I don't smoke in the house. "I mean, I had a cigarette this morning, which is because I hadn't been. Coffee and a cigarette: bingo!" Catherine Zeta-Jones 10 Stunning Welsh star Cath vowed to kick the habit after husband Michael Douglas suffered throat cancer. In August 2011, the Hollywood actress, 43, switched to electronic cigarettes while Michael was undergoing treatment. Gwyneth Paltrow 10 She famously enjoys a healthy lifestyle and dedicated workout regime, but it seems even Gwynnie has a vice. The mum-of-two, who recently wrote a healthy eating cookbook, admits she allows herself one cigarette per week. Speaking to Harper's Bazaar about her guilty pleasures in April, she said: "My one light American Spirit that I smoke once a week, on Saturday night." Jennifer Aniston 10 Jen looked happy with then-husband Brad Pitt on her arm and a fag in hand – but neither stood the test of time. The Friends actress finally quit the habit in 2011, after pledging to do "eventually quit smoking" in 2002 – but she claimed it made her gain weight. Speaking to Hello magazine in 2011, she said: "It's just I quit smoking, so I've gained a couple of pounds". As for Brad, the pair divorced in 2005 after five years of marriage. Jennifer Lopez 10 J Lo takes time out from being a bride on the set of El Cantante to indulge in a quick ciggie. The singer and actress has previously been snapped lighting up on nights out – but claims she is not a smoker. The mum-of-two told Cosmopolitan: "I don't drink—I'll have a sip, but I've never been drunk—and I don't smoke. I envy people who have those releases. "They just have a drink or a cigarette, and they feel better. I have to brave it through the whole day on my own."  |
| Posted: 28 Nov 2020 11:36 PM PST Time's Up, the organization set up to fight sexual harassment in the work place in the wake of the #MeToo movement, spent the bulk of its donations of executive salaries and only a fraction on legal costs to help victims in its first year, records show. Tax filings show that the organization, which was founded by Hollywood celebrities and is made up from the Time's Up Foundation and Time's Up Now Inc., raised $3,670,219 in 2018 in its first year of operation. However, less than 10% was spent on helping those women who have experienced sexual harassment. Filings show $312,001 was spent on the legal defense fund while $1,407,032 was spent on salaries. And more than $157,000 was spent on conferences at luxury resorts, and a further $58,395 was spent on travel. The organization brought in Hollywood heavyweights during the early days of its operation with Reese Witherspoon, Amy Schumer and Brie Larson holding positions on its board.  Tax filings reveal Times' Up organization received $3,121,427 in contributions in 2018 in its first year of operation but spent $1,407,032 on salaries and $312,001 on helping victims  Time's Up is a movement against sexual harassment and was founded on January 1, 2018, by Hollywood celebrities in response to the Weinstein effect and #MeToo Movement The tax filings detail the mission of Time's Up Now as being: 'to promote safe, fair and dignified work for women of all kinds. We work to make sure that women are free from harassment and other forms of discrimination on the job, have equal opportunity for economic security and can achieve the highest positions of power wherever they work.' But according to the Post, huge amounts were spent on executive salaries instead of legal support. Lisa Borders was recruited to head Time's Up but only spent four months at the organization after her 36-year-old son was accused of sexual misconduct. Nevertheless, the CEO managed to pull in $342,308 for her salary. The Chief Marketing Officer, Rachel Terrace, drew a salary of $295,000 for her efforts during the organization's first year. And treasurer Rebecca Goldman drew a salary of $255,327.

The Chief Marketing Officer, Rachel Terrace, right, also managed to draw a salary of $295,000 for her efforts during the organization's first year Tax filings detail how '3,000 individuals' were helped by the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund between January and June 2018 at a cost of $1,747,635. But most of the defense fund money came from grants that had been made to the Women's Law Center, according to the New York Post. Only a small proportion came from the Time's Up organizations with the Time's Up Foundation donating $132,575 to the fund and Time's Up Now, the lobbying end of the charity, handing over $179,426. Aside from executive compensation, tax filings show that Time's Up Now, which is the lobbying arm of the organization, was noted to have spent $157,155 on conferences 'designed to build community and spark critical conversations about gender equity', according to the Post. The conferences included a retreat at a luxury resort and spa in Ojai in June 2018 where a room for the night costs upwards of $400-a-night.  The conferences included a retreat at a luxury resort and spa in Ojai, pictured, in June 2018 where a room for the night costs upwards of $400-a-night Despite having been in existence six months, those at the conference struggled to decide what the organization's mission statement should be, according to one attendee who spoke to the New York Post. It later changed from 'Let's clean up Hollywood' to 'We're going to help all workers.'' Aside from the pricey conferences at country retreats the organization details in its tax filings how it spent $288,007 on advertising, and $940,328 on legal costs. A huge chunk of that - $719,522 - went to Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, a law firm that frequently lobbies on Capitol Hill. A total of $112,435 was given to Rally, a public relations company, according to the tax filings.  The organization has responded to the allegations over how money was spent in a statement Times Up has responded to DailyMail.com and provided a lengthy statement regarding the allegations from Amanda Harrington, Vice President of Communications of TIME'S UP Now and the TIME'S UP Foundation. 'TIME'S UP emerged in 2018 from an international moment of reckoning when women across industries and geographies came together and decided to turn their pain about workplace abuse into action to address systemic inequality. Our first and largest initiative was the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund, a groundbreaking legal advocacy program. 'TIME'S UP Now raised millions of dollars for the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund by directing people to a GoFundMe page and to make significant pledges in 2018, all of which went directly to the program, which has been housed and administered at the National Women's Law Center (NWLC) Fund LLC from the beginning in order to jumpstart direct support for survivors in need as quickly as possible. 'Already, the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund has provided legal resources about sex harassment at work to over 5,000 people, three-quarters of whom identify as low-paid workers. In addition, the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund has committed $11 million dollars in direct legal and public relations support for survivors. While most of the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund-backed cases are ongoing, 86 percent of the cases that have been resolved have been resolved in favor of the workers the TIME'S UP Legal Defense Fund supported. 'Recognizing that abuses of power like sex harassment are only possible in workplaces that are fundamentally unequal, we also formed the nonprofit organizations TIME'S UP Now and TIME'S UP Foundation to advocate for systemic change across all industries. 'Because 2018 was a start-up year for these organizations, it follows that our 2018 expenses were mostly related to our start-up costs, such as legal costs, and recruiting staff that would establish initiatives that would be launched in 2019, such as TIME'S UP Now's successful push for the TIME'S UP Safety Agenda in New York, TIME'S UP Foundation's research and policy division, the TIME'S UP Impact Lab, and our Who's in the Room mentorship program, among others. 'The nonprofit sector, like many women-dominated fields, has long-grappled with under-compensation of professional employees and staff. Our compensation and benefits structures are competitive, both to reflect our commitment to the values of fair and equal pay and to attract and retain the very best talent to work to address some of the toughest, most entrenched barriers to gender equity,' the statement reads.  Almost one million dollars was spent on legal fees to a global law firm with a strong lobbying arm on Capitol Hill while a further $100,000 were paid to a public relations firm Time's Up, which is based in California, was formed in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal in 2017, which saw famous names including Oprah Winfrey speak out alongside journalist and activist Gloria Steinem and actresses Jessica Chastain, Rosanna Arquette and Mira Sorvino. Sorvino who now sits on Time's Up 'global leadership board' detailed how Weinstein sexually harassed her in a hotel room in 1995. She helped spark the Me Too Movement, along with actress Alyssa Milano who tweeted and urged women to speak up if they had been sexually assaulted.

The tweet captured the spirit of the movement with thousands of women responding 'Me Too' Meanwhile, Oprah's rallying cry at the Golden Globes in January 2018 saw her make an impassioned speech from which the Time's Up name was conjured. 'For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. But, their time is up. Their time is up. Their time is up.' It led to thousands of women sharing details of the times they had been sexually assaulted.  |
