• Janice Dickinson Has Filed a Defamation Lawsuit Against Bill Cosby

    As if Bill Cosby didn't already have enough grenades to dodge, yet another lawsuit was filed against him this week by one of his accusers, Janice Dickinson. If you remember, the former supermodel came forward a few months back, claiming that the famed comedian both drugged and then raped her. Of course, Cosby has denied that it ever happened and in doing so, basically has alluded to the notion that Dickinson is lying. That is defamation of character and she's not going to take it lightly.

  • Bill Cosby Postpones Another Show as Two More Women Make Allegations

  • Eddie Murphy Decided Not to Mock Bill Cosby on 'SNL 40'

    While 'SNL 40' was considered a runaway success, many were left wondering why Eddie Murphy's involvement amounted to just 73 seconds of telling people to enjoy the show. It was his first time back in studio 8-H in more than three decades, so it is fair to say that nearly everyone tuning in was expecting something hilarious from him, but that just never happened. We are now learning that there was more planned for Murphy to do, but he nixed it at the last minute. According to a report by 'The Hollywood Reporter,' "Fellow 'SNL' alum Norm Macdonald posted a long string of tweets Wednesday, [Feb. 18,] revealing that he and the show's other writers wanted Murphy to play Bill Cosby during the 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' segment. The bit would involve cutting to Cosby, who would be mixing drinks in a video supposedly taped in the summer, before numerous sexual allegations against him resurfaced."

Still, he insists that his career is alive and well, as he told the Boston Herald,

  • Sidney Poitier Disgusted by Cosby Allegations

    Bill Cosby's life has changed pretty radically since last November, when one woman decided to write an essay about allegedly being assaulted by him. The bottom has fallen out from under him completely, with NBC and Netflix shelving planned projects and a multitude of his concerts have been canceled. Then there is the fact that venues are not lining up to book him for future gigs, either. Business is bad and, even worse, some of Cosby's oldest friends, such as Sidney Poitier, are turning their backs on him. In fact, Poitier is disgusted by the allegations.

  • 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.

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

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.

  • Bill Cosby's Career Continues to Die as Charlotte Show Has Been Postponed Indefinitely

    Bill Cosby issued a brief statement to his fans a few weeks ago thanking them for the continued support. In it, he also insisted that his career is far from over.

Cosby was scheduled to perform in Charlotte next month but as of yesterday, it has officially been postponed.

  • 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."
