Harvey Weinstein will face one fewer witness at his Los Angeles trial in October, a judge ruled on Wednesday.
Prosecutors had previously been granted the right to call five “prior bad acts” witnesses to testify against the disgraced producer, in support of five other women whose claims form the basis of the charges in the case.
But one of those witnesses — known in court only as “Miss I.” — has since decided she does not want to testify. On Wednesday, prosecutors asked the court’s permission to replace her with another witness. But Judge Lisa Lench denied that request, saying the woman’s testimony would be too similar to the accounts of the other witnesses.
Weinstein, 70, is facing 11 counts of rape and sexual assault pertaining to the five alleged victims. He is already serving a 23-year sentence after being convicted in New York of rape and sexual assault in February 2020.

The women vying for Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s heart have finally been revealed!
ABC unveiled the 29 women hoping to find love on The Bachelor in a press release on Friday. Interestingly, shared the women "who can be revealed" -- and 29 is less than the 30 women who competed for Nick Viall last season of The Bachelor.
The average age of this season's women is 27, nine years younger than Luyendyk. Among them are four Laurens, two Rebeccas (though one spells her name Rebekah), two Brittanys (one spells her name Brittane), a Jenny and a Jenna. Something tells us things will get a little complicated on night one!
Meet Luyendyk's ladies below:
Ali, 27, personal stylist, Dallas, Texas
ABC
Amber, 29, business owner, Denver, Colorado
ABC
Annaliese, 32, event designer, San Francisco, California

There were some awkward moments when 17 of Juan Pablo Galavis's Bachelorettes gathered for Monday night's "Women Tell All" episode of The Bachelor.
But instead of catfights among the contestants, they teamed up to tear apart the soccer playing single dad. But they believed they had good reason – "viewers were shocked by how he treated some of the women this season," host Chris Harrison noted at the top of the show.
And as the cameras rolled, they didn't hold back. While we learned that Renee has moved on, that Sharleen doesn't regret walking out, and that Kelly, who has a gay dad,...

Oh, aren't you looking forward to the public hanging, I mean, Women Tell All episode of "The Bachelor"? As Chris Harrison always (and tiresomely) promises, this episode is going to be explosive or mind-blowing or best ever or whatever the hell, but this time he may not be entirely full of crap. This has to be the first season during which not only have two women left, but the promos suggest we'll see more irritated eye rolls and female bonding than tears of pain and girl-on-girl battling. You could almost call this the girl power edition of "The Bachelor." Almost. Not that we get to the action with any speed whatsever. Yay, let's get Sean and Catherine on the floor. Very much in love, whatever whatever. Could not care any less. Oh, they had sex, by the way. "Quick fireworks," says Catherine of the big moment. Zing! Okay, that one...

Juan Pablo is playing games with these poor ladies’ hearts! He decided on week four that he didn’t want to kiss any ladies because of his daughter. Not only did he already kiss six of the ladies, but he then broke his rule because he couldn’t help it!
Juan Pablo is making and breaking rules left and right. While The Bachelor contestants are fighting for “true love,” the Latino soccer player is having a hard time controlling himself. But his mixed signals are really hurting the ladies, and we saw one girl completely heartbroken on the Jan. 27th episode — and we can’t blame her for being upset at the games he’s playing.

I never thought I’d say it – Sean Lowe making out with many, many women on his season of The Bachelor may have been a better idea than what Jp is doing!

The Bachelor's Juan Pablo is done making out — or at least that's what he's telling some of the women.
On Monday's episode, Juan Pablo and his ladies headed to South Korea, where he caused quite the stir on the group date. After kissing a handful of women thus far, the single dad decided that he shouldn't be so "romantic" and shot down Lauren S. when she went in for a kiss.

A new online petition accuses the Animal Planet series “Call of the Wildman” of engaging in cruelty to animals, and is asking the network not to endanger animals in the name of ratings. Citing an investigation by Mother Jones magazine, the petition — launched on Care2.com by a petitioner identified as Lauren S. — takes particular exception to the treatment of three baby raccoons who were used on the show. According to the petition, the raccoons “nearly died from being kept away from proper care by the production team.” According to Mother Jones, the raccoons arrived at a wildlife center...

Atlanta dog lover Kelly Travis is trying to find more than puppy love with Juan Pablo Galavis on The Bachelor. But the first two weeks of competition were sometimes ruff.
During a press call on Thursday, Travis, 27, recounted how her first date required her to don a bald cap and body paint to look like the calendar shoot's ugly mutt, and how the ex-soccer pro peeped her sans makeup when he arrived unexpectedly early to fix the ladies breakfast.
She also explained why she wants to be this man's best friend first, which ladies are barking up the wrong tree,...

Welcome to the new season of El Bachelor. I want to start this season off by saying thank you! Thank you for supporting us, and for coming back to enjoy another journey. Sunday night it all started with our special The Countdown to Juan Pablo. I really loved how after all these years we lifted the veil a bit to show our fans how we cast the show and just how pressure-packed that process can be. As you saw in the special, we truly see it all during the casting process. It’s not an exact science by any means,...

The premiere of The Bachelor’s 18th season introduced Juan Pablo Galavis to the 27 women who will be vying for a rose and his heart over the next few months.
'The Bachelor' Recap
Opening up the show was a montage of testimonials from a number of the women. They share information about their families, their professions and what they think about the newest bachelor. “Sexy” was a favorite adjective of the ladies to describe Juan Pablo, who they all hope to get the final rose from.
Meanwhile, Juan Pablo once again is featured as the doting father that he is with his four-year-old daughter Camila. He’s also captured running shirtless on the beach, and once again, detailing what he’s looking for in his ideal woman. There to help him figure that out is former Bachelor star Sean Lowe who is set to marry the woman he picked,...

Time for "The Bachelor," you guys! Happy New Year to us, right?
Juan Pablo's opening montage lasts approximately five seconds before he's shirtless, but at least he's not soaping up in the shower like Sean Lowe. Remember that? It was weird.
There's some pretty sexy footage of Jp playing soccer, which he did professionally for seven years. But it all gets cuter when there's footage of him goofing around with his daughter Camila, who is named Camila Valentina because she was born on Valentine's Day. She's so cute you could eat her right up.
Plus, Camila and Juan Pablo's parents are going to live in Los Angeles with him while the first few weeks of the "Bachelor" tape, which is terrific. He keeps calling her "my chiquituri," and are they the most adorable parent/child pair to appear on this show? Very possibly.
