Harvey Weinstein is about to get a change of scenery.
A judge has ordered the convicted producer to be extradited from New York to Los Angeles to face sexual assault charges.
Weinstein, who’s serving a 23-year sentence in upstate New York, is charged with rape, sexual battery and other crimes in connection with five incidents that allegedly occurred between 2004 and 2013, according to CNBC.
His lawyers had argued that Weinstein shouldn’t be extradited to California because of his poor health, among other reasons.
He faces up to 140 years in prison if convicted in the Los Angeles case.

No one acts or sings like Gaston . . . literally.  LUKE EVANS and JOSH GAD are back as the “Beauty and the Beast” duo, Gaston and LeFou.
Disney+ is doing an 8-episode prequel series . . . and the best part?  It’ll be a musical just like the live-action film.
Briana Middleton from “The Tender Bar” will play LeFou’s step-sister Tilly.  The series is set years before the movie, with the three characters going on a journey that includes lots of comedy, adventure and romance.
Josh will produce and write scripts, along with the creators of “Once Upon a Time”.
Alan Menken will return and compose the soundtrack . . . just like he did for both the cartoon and live-action “Beauty and the Beast” films.

While JEFF BEZOS is preparing to launch himself into space . . . basically because he can . . . his ex-wife MACKENZIE just gave another $2.7 BILLION to various charities.  That’s on top of the $6 billion she gave away last year.
MacKenzie and her new husband Dan Jewett say they’re troubled by the increasing concentration of wealth among just a few people, and their goal is to, quote, “give away a fortune that was enabled by systems in need of change.”
MacKenzie is worth roughly $60 billion.  She and Jeff divorced in 2019, and she walked away with a 4% stake in Amazon.
After the split, she signed the Giving Pledge, which is a promise by rich people to give away the majority of their wealth.  It was designed by Warren Buffett and Bill and Melinda Gates.
