I never liked Lester Diamond. I never liked that guy.






Amber Tamblyn, 34, took to Twitter on September 11 to allege that now-70-year-old actor James Woods had "tried to pick [up]" her and a friend and that he invited her to Las Vegas when she was 16. According to People, Amber's tweets came in response to actor Armie Hammer tweeting to Woods, "Didn't you date a 19 year old when you were 60.......?" following Woods's criticism of Armie's upcoming film, in which he plays a 24-year-old dating a 17-year-old.
"James Woods tried to pick me and my friend up at a restaurant once. He wanted to take us to Vegas. 'I'm 16' I said. 'Even better' he said," Amber tweeted.

My friend Billy and I were at the Roxy on Sunset Boulevard seeing a band we loved. We decided to go to Mel's diner on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood to get burgers after. I had just gotten my driver's license and very specifically remember my nervousness trying to park in the diner parking lot. Upon leaving the restaurant we were stopped by you and your friend, who both seemed very nice. At one point you suggested we should all go to Las Vegas together. "It's such a great place, have you ever been?" You tried to make it sound innocent. This is something predatory men like to do, I've noticed. Make it sound innocent. Just a dollop of insinuation. Just a hair of persuasion. Just a pinch of suggestion. "It will be so much fun, I promise you. Nothing has to happen, we will just have a good time together." I told you my age, kindly and with no judgment or aggression. I told you my age because I thought you would be immediately horrified and take back your offer. You laughed and said, "Even better. We'll have so much fun, I promise."
