ARMIE HAMMER AND THE CURIOUS CASE OF CANNIBALISM: If there was ever a case for Nancy Drew to go sleuthing then the Armie Hammer scandal would top the list. After the cannibalism scandal unfolded on social media, Hammer’s Hollywood career has come to a standstill, with the actor having to drop out from his romcom with Jennifer Lopez. Now Bella Thorne has spoken out in support of Hammer, calling the whole news ridiculous, even as his ex Courtney Vucekovich tells Page Six: “He said to me he wants to break my rib and barbecue and eat it.” Whether or not there is any truth to these claims, Hammer’s fall from grace treads a thin line between rumour mongering and libelous reporting. Hammer has refused to comment on this, but the fan clubs are abuzz. Let’s just hope this isn’t a case of trial by social media that can leave a person and their career in ruins.
