• Richard Pryor's Widow: Bill Cosby a 'Hypocrite,' 'Dirty on the Inside'

    Have you noticed that in the last four months few people have come out and publicly supported Bill Cosby? As numerous women continue to come forward, telling similar stories of being drugged and sexually assaulted by the comedic legend, the closest he seems to get to support is having a former co-star vouch for the fact that they were not victimized. Instead, slowly but surely several Hollywood insiders have decided to speak up and explain why they are not surprised by the allegations. Jennifer Lee Pryor, the widow of comedian Richard Pryor, is the latest to come forward, saying Cosby is a "hypocrite" and "dirty on the inside."
  • Columbus Short Admits to Cocaine Use, Causing Life to Spiral Before Being Fired from 'Scandal'

    Columbus Short has had a life-altering year, as he began it starring on "Scandal," one of prime time's top dramas, and is wrapping it up by coming clean about his drug use. Short made headlines for a bar fight as well as alleged domestic violence against his then-wife Tuere Short and quickly found himself fired and divorced. In April, Short confirmed that he would not be returning to "Scandal" for a fourth season and graciously wished his former cast mates the best. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the actor appeared on "Access Hollywood" to discuss what unraveled him. "I was struggling with drugs. I had a lot on my plate, and you know, I was using unhealthy ways to kind of self-medicate and deal with a lot of heavy-duty stuff in my life. I was doing cocaine and drinking a lot, and trying to balance a 16-hour work schedule a day, and a family, and I just lost myself back then." Short also says the suicide of his best friend, Lee Thompson Young, sent him into a downward spiral because he simple did not know how to handle it. He also admits that his friends from the hit ABC show tried their best to cover for and support him ... until his behavior went too far.
