FEMINIST activists, top-less and covered in writing condemning Woody Allen for alleged child abuse, stormed the stage of the Hamburg Philharmonic early this week in Germany, disrupting a concert Allen was giving with his New Orleans Jazz Band.

Two protestors from the extreme Femen group ran onto the stage of the sold-out Elbphilharmonie hall 21 minutes into the performance.

The two activists tried to read a letter from Allen’s adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow, who has accused the Oscar-winning direc-tor of abusing her when she was 7. But security guards

pulled them offstage before they had a chance.

The activists released their letter to the press. It reads: “Although the incident occurred decades ago, Dylan (now 31) is still suffering the consequences. Woody Allen is not just the neurotic and charming director, actor and musi-cian, but a father who likes to stick his fi nger in his daughter. We’d like to remind the world, and jazz fans, of that fact.”

Dylan fi rst publicly accused her adoptive father of abuse three years ago. Connecticut prosecu-tors decided not to pursue criminal charges. (SD-Agencies)

Hendricks to topline NBC’s ‘Good Girls’ in recasting

ACTRESS Christina Hendricks is heading to NBC.

The six-time Emmy-nomi-nated “Mad Men” actress has been tapped to topline the network’s buzzy midseason drama “Good Girls.” She takes over the lead role of Beth, originally played in the pilot by “Episodes” star Kathleen Rose Perkins. Perkins exited the drama when it was picked up to series in May.

From showrunner Jenna Bans, “Good Girls” revolves around three suburban moms who get tired of trying to make ends meet and decide it’s time to stick up for themselves by robbing the local supermarket at gunpoint. But when the manager catches a glimpse of one of them and the loot is far more than they expected, it doesn’t take long for the three

best friends to realize the perfect getaway will be harder than they think.

Matthew Lillard, Manny Montana, Reno Wilson, Lidya Jewett, Izzy Stannard and Zach Gilford co-star in the drama, which was an early frontrun-ner through pilot season after earning raves for the cast’s chemistry.

“Good Girls” marks Hen-dricks’ fi rst broadcast series regular role since her seven-season turn as Joan Harris on AMC’s critical gem “Mad Men.” Since that show wrapped, she has starred on Sundance TV’s “Hap and Leonard” and was among the repertoire cast of Comedy Central’s “Another Period.” On the feature side, her credits include “Bad Santa 2,” “Zoolander 2” and more.

Lively to Star in Spy ThrillerACTRESS Blake Lively is set to star in an espionage thriller from “James Bond” producers EON Productions and IM Global.

“The Rhythm Section,” an adaptation of the fi rst book in Mark Burnell’s four novel series, will be produced by IM Global and Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Pro-ductions, which is responsible for the last eight “Bond” fi lms.

“The Rhythm Section” follows heroine Stephanie Patrick who, after the death of her family in an airplane crash on a fl ight that she was meant to be on, discovers the crash was not an accident. She then seeks to uncover the truth by adapting the identity of an assassin to track down those responsible.

Production will begin later this year, with “The Handmaid’s Tale” fi lmmaker Reed Morano set to direct. Burnell will execu-tive produce along with IM Global’s Greg Shapiro.

“It is exciting for us to be work-ing with the immensely talented team of director Reed Morano and actress Blake Lively, who have a strong vision for this very compelling story driven by a

female protagonist,” Wilson and Broccoli said in a statement.

IM Global founder Stuart Ford said: “In Stephanie Patrick, Mark has created a unique female heroine who turns so many of the current cinematic clichés surrounding so-called ‘kick-ass’ female leads on their head. To be bringing such a fresh, realistic and bold international thriller to the big screen with EON Productions, Reed and Blake are an excit-ing proposition for us all at IM Global.”

Lively is set to star in CBS Films’ adaptation of “The Hus-band’s Secret,” the New York Times bestseller from “Big Little Lies” author Liane Moriarty. The actress was last seen battling sharks in “The Shallows” and 1940s movie starlets in Woody Allen’s “Cafe Society.”

In addition to Hulu’s Marga-ret Atwood adaptation, Morano is one of the fi lmmaker’s behind Beyonce’s visual album, “Lem-onade.” She has several projects in various sates of development including sci-fi drama “I Think We’re Alone Now,” starring Elle Fanning. (SD-Agencies)

FURTHER videos have surfaced of Shia LaBeouf’s outlandish behav-ior after he was arrested for public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and obstruction in Savannah, Ga., in which he tells a black police offi cer that he will go to hell because of his skin color.

LaBeouf released an apology, saying he was “ashamed” of his behavior, shortly after the new footage was released Wednesday afternoon. “My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least, and completely destructive to say the worst,” he wrote. The actor stressed that he’s been struggling with addiction and that he’s taking new steps toward sobriety.

“I have been struggling with addic-tion publicly for too long, and I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be for-given for my mistakes,” he concluded the note, posted on Twitter.

A video showing LaBeouf being fi ngerprinted and making the state-ments was released by TMZ. “You’re going to hell, straight to hell, bro,” the actor and performance artist said to both cops present, and then elaborated, saying, “You, especially, Devin.” A white cop questioned why Devin, specifi cally, and LaBeouf said, “Cause he’s a black man.”

The white offi cer disputed the meaning of his skin color, to which LaBeouf responded, “It means a whole lot, bro.”

LaBeouf goes on to accuse the cops of being racist for “arresting (him) for being white.”

According to LaBeouf, he was arrested for asking for a cigarette from a police offi cer, which is con-sistent with police accounts. Police reports, however, state that he became disorderly, and used profanities and vulgar language in front of women and children. (SD-Agencies)
