  • Larry King Explains Crusade Against "N-Word" and His Approach to Hip-Hop Interviews

    The most powerful word in American history is one that has divided our country since its inception. The "N-word" has deep roots and requires much context when presented in a public space.

That'd be controversial multimedia guru, Larry King, who began broadcasting a "panel" in January to discuss the word.

  • Bill Cosby Has Hired Investigators to Dig Up Dirt on His Many Accusers

    After everything that we have heard about Bill Cosby's true character in recent weeks, it is surprising he has not gone after his multitude of accusers from the start. He may have held back from doing so in the beginning while hoping that all the accusations would somehow just disappear and be discredited on their own. Since the exact opposite has happened, Cosby is now out for proverbial blood.According to a report by Page Six, Cosby has hired a West Coast-based team of private investigators to dig up any dirt that exists on his accusers. In one meeting with the team, Cosby reportedly said, "If you're going to say to the world that I did this to you, then the world needs to know what kind of person are you? Who is this person that's saying it? You can't say that I put something in your coffee, threw you in a cab and then you go on and live a high-profile life, a famous life and you never complain."That, quite obviously, is in reference to Beverly Johnson's account of being drugged by the actor while auditioning for his sitcom back in the 1980s.

  • Lions Vs. Packers: Michigan Bar Offers to Pay All Tabs if Detroit Wins

    On Dec. 15, 1991, the Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers in Wisconsin. More than 23 years have passed since then, and the — usually — lousy Lions have not managed to replicate that feat.Detroit's inability to win at Green Bay is historic. The Packers's 23-game winning streak against the Lions at home is an NFL record. But on Sunday, Dec. 28, the curse might finally be broken. That is what patrons at The Pour House in Madison Heights, Michigan, will be hoping, anyway.Bar owner Rudy Jarbo is promising to pay all bar tabs accrued this afternoon if the Lions are able to pull off the upset, which would give them their first division title since 1993."There's a lot of excitement around here about the Lions making the playoffs, possibly getting that first-week bye and being two weeks away from the Super Bowl," Jarbo told ESPN's Darren Rovell. "I think this gives Lions fans an incentive to watch physically, mentally, emotionally and financially."There are rules, of course: Customers must arrive before kickoff and stay the entire game if they want their tab to disappear.

  • Keith Urban Loves Nick Jonas Single 'Jealous,' Preparing for NYE Performance

"We've had a couple of those. Actually, probably, I wonder since I've been married I haven't worked on New Year's Eve?

ET Canada's New Year's Eve at Niagara Falls, roughly four hours from Times Square and America's biggest NYE spectacle.Canada will have plenty of star power, though.

  • 'The Interview' Lawsuit: K-Pop Artists Threatening Legal Action After Songs Used in Movie

    Another layer of complexity has just been added to "The Interview," a Sony Pictures film that has permeated the news cycle for several weeks. This time, the company could face legal action from K-Pop artists Tiger JK and Yoon Mi Rae after the flick allegedly used their song without consent."There were initial discussions about including the song in the film score, but negotiations stopped, so we were under the impression that it wasn't happening," FeelGhoodMusic said in a statement. "It was only after the film was released that we became aware of the song's unauthorized use, without taking the appropriate and necessary steps to complete a contract with the artists."THR reports roughly 10 to 15 seconds of the song appear in the movie.From NME: "The press release also noted the subject matter of the film — which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco and follows two American journalists recruited to kill Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea — stating, 'The artists were also hesitant about authorizing the use of the music, as the film is a very sensitive topic in Korea, so they are very surprised.'"
