• Bill Cosby Uses a Decoy in Ohio as Roseanne Barr Says the Allegations 'Surprise Nobody' in Hollywood

    Bill Cosby is still playing a few tour dates and his stop last night in Sandusky, Ohio included beefed up security to make sure that the protesters that showed up kept things civil. As more and more women have come forward to make allegations of sexual abuse against the comedian, the majority of his scheduled dates have been canceled with nothing new being scheduled. There have been no instances where a reporter managed to catch up with Cosby as he is leaving a venue and according to a report by TMZ it's because he has been using a decoy.

  • US Government Is Trying to Prevent 'Sex Slave' Virginia Roberts From Making Prince Andrew Testify Under Oath

    When Virginia Roberts decided to join the U.S. government's civil case against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein it completely blew the lid off of a major scandal. Epstein took a plea deal in late 2007 that at the time seemed to protect the high profile clients that he sold young girls to for sex. Roberts was one of those girls and has in the last month begun naming names. Prince Andrew is supposedly one of the men that she had sex with when she was just 17-years-old. The royals have dodged accepting paperwork that would require Andrew testify under oath but now it looks like the U.S. government just put up a huge roadblock in the case.

  • Did Scott Disick Hook Up With Kendall Jenner While Kourtney Kardashian Was Pregnant?

    It is no secret that Kourtney Kardashian's relationship with Scott Disick is hanging by a thread. Since giving birth to the couple's third child last month, Kardashian has really hunkered down with her young family while her baby daddy is out partying every weekend. We know that is true because, without fail, Disick's bad behavior continues to grab headlines. But in the midst of all that partying, could he have done something unforgivable and hooked up with her half-sister Kendall Jenner?

  • Emile Hirsch Accused of Holding Paramount Exec in Headlock During Altercation

    So much for that insider statement the other day about Emile Hirsch being the nicest guy on Earth -- or maybe he is, as long as he stays sober. Unfortunately, while partying at the Sundance Film Festival last weekend, the actor was accused of getting into a physical, drunken altercation with a woman that ended when the police were called. It also reportedly was not some accidental scuffle either because the actor at one point had Dani Bernfield, a Paramount exec, in a headlock.

  • Bill Cosby's California Show Canceled as Hollywood Insider Cindra Ladd Accuses Him of Rape

    Another day and another woman has come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of drugging and raping her as a California show is canceled. Cindra Ladd is a former entertainment executive who has been married for decades to Oscar-winning Hollywood producer Alan Ladd Jr. She has been a well-respected Hollywood insider for years and decided to tell her story because, up until recently, she believed she was the only one to be mistreated by the iconic comedian in an alleged drugging and rape.

  • Doc Claims Tom Cruise Asked Scientologists to Tap Nicole Kidman's Phone While Married

    There have been rumors for years about the kind of behavior Tom Cruise resorts to, all in the name of Scientology. His control freak nature is a huge part of what caused his marriage to Katie Holmes to collapse, and it also reportedly played a part in his split from Nicole Kidman all the way back in 2001. A new documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Sunday, Jan. 25, that blows the lid off the cult-like religion and also dishes some of the dirt on the celebrities, like Cruise, who follow it. Namely, he allegedly asked Scientologists to tap her phone.

  • Jay Leno Doesn't Understand Why Anyone Believes Bill Cosby's Innocent

    Jay Leno has never been one to dodge controversial subjects, so it is not too surprising that when asked about the scandal plaguing Bill Cosby, he weighed in with a real answer. Leno was on hand for a Q&A segment at the NATPE conference yesterday and his comments about the scandal made it clear that he believes the allegations against the famed comedian are true.

  • Bill Cosby Will Never Have a Job With NBC Again

    Bill Cosby may have issued a statement earlier this week reassuring his remaining fans that his career is far from over, but ultimately, his ability to continue working is in the hands of other people and that is a real problem. If just one or two women had made allegations against the comedic legend, then he likely would be given the benefit of the doubt, but with more than 15 women coming forward, Cosby is going to have to have a real uphill battle.

  • Bill Cosby Claims His Career is 'Far From Over' in Statement to Fans

    Bill Cosby is really fighting to hang on to whatever is left of his sinking career. Every time another allegation is made against the comedian, he takes another financial hit almost immediately. When Chloe Goins spent two hours with the LAPD earlier this week, Cosby's shows in Massachusetts that were scheduled for early February were canceled. Now rather than just digging up dirt on his latest accuser, he has also addressed the Colorado fans that are still going to attend an upcoming show.

  • Bill Cosby, Team of Investigators Taking Aim at Chloe Goins for Speaking with LAPD

    After learning that Chloe Goins filed criminal charges against him with the LAPD, of course Bill Cosby's team has come out swinging. The young model's attorney requested that investigators get a search warrant for The Playboy Mansion, where the incident allegedly happened. They claim that surveillance tapes may provide solid proof to bolster Goins's claims. Now Cosby's team is pushing for the same footage. The comedian actually used to be friends with Hugh Hefner, and he is hoping that the head of the Playboy empire will give him evidence that might prevent any kind of criminal charges from being filed. According to a report by TMZ, Cosby's team is looking for surveillance footage and the names of employees who worked on the 2008 night in question. What is more than a little interesting is the fact that Cosby has also expressed concern about whether or not any former Playmates might have made similar claims against him. If Hefner knows of any, then you better believe Cosby's team wants to get to them before they come forward on their own. While fighting back a continuous onslaught of rumors and allegations, Cosby's business continues to tank.

  • Did Tina Fey, Amy Poehler Give Allegations Against Bill Cosby Credibility by Mentioning Them at the Golden Globes?

    Bill Cosby has spent the better part of the last two months fighting to salvage his career after numerous women have come out of the woodwork to accuse him of sexual impropriety. He has not taken direct aim often. Instead, he has hired a team of investigators to find skeletons in his accusers's closets and used his minimal time onstage to take a verbal sideways shot, but all the while Cosby seems to have thought that, eventually, it will all go away. The fact that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey fired shots at Cosby during the Golden Globes may have had a bigger impact than anyone would have imagined. TMZ caught up with Michelle Hurd, an actress from "Law & Order" who is also a Cosby accuser. She found it ironic that a steady stream of women making similar allegations about being drugged and then assaulted have at times found themselves under the media's microscope, but once two respected fellow comediennes took aim at the man who once might have been sort of their idol, things look different. Fey and Poehler roasted Cosby out in the open and in front of an international audience. There was no hesitation in their words, and by the time they finished there seemed to be little doubt of how Hollywood as a whole is now viewing Cosby. It was also a bit ironic that these direct shots were fired at Cosby in prime time and on NBC, the network that he once helped to propel to the No. 1 position with "The Cosby Show."

  • Bill Cosby Joked About Rape Allegations While on Stage in Canada Last Night

    Bill Cosby let everyone at his London, Ontario show on Thursday night know exactly how he feels about the sexual assault allegations by various women that have been stacking up against him for the last two months. In a brief exchange with a woman in the audience, the comedian made a joking reference to allegations that he has been drugging and assaulting women for decades. The audience was stunned at first and then began to applaud Cosby's candor.

  • Phylicia Rashad: Accusations Against Bill Cosby 'Orchestrated' to Destroy Legacy

    Bill Cosby's reputation and legacy has completely nosedived in under two months thanks to a string of allegations by several different women. Is Cosby really capable of drugging and sexually assaulting women on a regular basis? Could this many people who have never met be telling the same lie? That is what the comedian's legal team is trying to convince us of. It seems the public has hung on the words of those affiliated with Cosby and input from those who worked with him on the set of "The Cosby Show" seems invaluable. Finally, Phylicia Rashad is speaking up. Rashad was Cosby's television wife for years, and after staying quiet for several weeks, she finally spoke exclusively with Showbiz 411 yesterday, and she staunchly defended her friend. "Rashad, who is one of our greatest stage actresses, has kept quiet, didn't seek me out and even said, 'I don't want to become part of the public debate.' But knowing this she did say to me, 'I love him' about Bill Cosby. She stands defiantly behind him. She told me that in the years she's known him, she has never seen the behavior alleged by the women who say they were drugged and raped, or sexually harassed," wrote Roger Friedman. "Forget these women," Rashad said. "What you're seeing is the destruction of a legacy. And I think it's orchestrated. I don't know why or who's doing it, but it's the legacy. And it's a legacy that is so important to the culture." Rashad dismisses claims from Beverly Johnson and Janice Dickinson. "Oh, please," she said when their names came up. She is also quick to defend Camille Cosby. "This is a tough woman, a smart woman," she told me. "She's no pushover."

  • Front Porch Step Tour Suspended After Sex Assault Allegations

    Jake McElfresh — aka Front Porch Step — has faced serious heat in recent days after several sexual assault allegations cropped up against him on social media. The singer is charged with, among other things, sending lewd photos to underage girls. With these accusations at the forefront of the rock news cycle, McElfresh is suspending the rest of his current tour. "I am taking the appropriate time to assess these very serious allegations against me and I am not taking them lightly," he said, via AltPress. "Until I can do that in a complete manner with all the information I have at my disposal, I will not be continuing with any current touring activities for the time being." Recent tour partners Have Mercy and future tour partner Allison Weiss had already backed out of any forthcoming shows. "We, Have Mercy, in no way condone the alleged actions that have come to light over the past week, and hope that message above all is clear to our fans," the band said. "Safety in music, and life, should never be risked for selfish decisions. We were incredibly excited at the opportunity to hit the road this spring, and that is still our top priority." There has also been a petition to boot Front Porch Step out of this year's Warped Tour lineup. McElfresh, who began recording as FPS in 2012, dropped his debut album "Aware" in fall 2013 and recently followed that up with the "Whole Again" EP in December.

  • Bill Cosby to Play Three Shows This Week in Canada

    While Bill Cosby may be having a hard time keeping his career going in the states right now, he will be doing a few of his stand up shows in Canada later this week. Many U.S. venues have either canceled shows that they had previously booked with the fallen star or else he has scrapped some scheduled gigs at the last minute. The end result has been the same, ever since women started to come forward and accuse Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting them, he hasn't been very marketable.
