Brett Ratner 'Banged' Olivia Munn, and Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Happy Friday! Also in Today's edition of The Broadsheet: Darren Aronofsky to team with Lou Reed and Metallica... the hits keep on coming for Hilary Swank... Melissa McCarthy looks ahead... Errol Morris gets sued... and more.

· Remember that bit from Olivia Munn's memoir about the nameless director -- rumored to be Brett Ratner -- who confronted her with his underendowed penis in one hand and a jumbo shrimp in the other? Turns out it was Ratner, but... Uh, take it away, Brett: "I used to date Olivia Munn, I'll be honest with everyone here," Ratner said Thursday on Attack of the Show. "But when she was 'Lisa.' She wasn't Asian back then. She was hanging out on my set of After the Sunset, I banged her a few times, but I forgot her. Because she changed her name. I didn't know it was the same person, and so when she auditioned for me for a TV show, I forgot her, she got pissed off, and so she made up all these stories about me eating shrimp and masturbating in my trailer. And she talked about my shortcomings." Great. Glad we got that cleared up. [AOTS via Gawker]

· Ugh. Time for a shower. Quickly though: Darren Aronofsky will direct the "music" video for Lou Reed and Metallica's "Iced Honey," from the artists' new collaboration LuLu. It will be available to watch on mute by the end of the month. [Press Release]

· Not such a good week for Hilary Swank, whose attendance at the birthday party of Chechen despot Ramzan Kadyrov has cost her one fired manager, a trail of agent roadkill and now her publicist. She reportedly parted ways with 42West over differences in how to handle the controversy; no word on which of the parties had the thwarted idea to handle it, you know, correctly. [EW]

· Melissa McCarthy has options these days, but I'm kind of hoping she teams with The Help director Tate Taylor on Tammy. McCarthy wrote and would lead the "hard R" comedy about "a woman who gets laid off from her fast-food job and finds her husband is cheating, and chucks her life to take a road trip of self-discovery with her foul-mouthed diabetic grandmother." Jacki Weaver for the grandmother! Just throwing that out there. [Deadline]

· The subject of Errol Morris's wild documentary Tabloid is making good on her threats of the last few months: Joyce McKinney is suing the Oscar-winner, his producer and distributor, alleging everything from defamation to misrepresentation to fraud and beyond. [Deadline]

· Good news for fans of Sean Durkin and Martha Marcy May Marlene, which should be, like, everyone: The filmmaker and his Borderline Films partners Antonio Campos and Josh Mond have officially signed a first-look deal with MMMM distributor Fox Searchlight. Congrats! [Press release]
