We recently reported that Bounce TV had pulled reruns of The Cosby Show, a decision that only came after Bill Cosby had been found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault, but perhaps that wasn’t the right move after all. Bill Cosby is the one at fault, so much like how Ridley Scott got Christopher…

Taking its lead from Bounce TV, the network that chose to wait until Bill Cosby was definitely found guilty of sexual assault before pulling The Cosby Show reruns, Temple University has also decided to distance itself from its most famous alum following the results of Cosby’s trial.

Bill Cosby’s retrial has already been eventful, with former child actress Nicolle Rochelle staging a topless protest on the first day and Cosby’s attorney Tom Mesereau going on the attack against the comedian’s accusers on the second day.

Bill Cosby’s re-trial entered its second day today, one marked by less outright spectacle, and more attempted character assassination and personal attacks on the part of the comedian’s defense. Cosby’s new attorney, Tom Mesereau—who once helped get Michael Jackson acquitted of charges of sexual molestation, and who…

Bill Cosby’s retrial on charges of sexual assault began today in suburban Philadelphia, nearly a year after the jury in his first trial failed to reach a verdict last June.

Lisa Bonet is one of the few Cosby Show cast members that hasn’t thrown their support behind her embattled co-star Bill Cosby. Where Phylicia Rashad and Malcolm Jamal Warner have defended the actor-comedian, Bonet has remained mum about the 60 women who have accused Cosby of sexual assault and harassment. But in a new…

Making a rare appearance at a small Philadelphia club, Bill Cosby dropped in to perform a set before an intimate audience last night, regaling them with amusing anecdotes, sitting in with the band, and patently ignoring dozens of sexual assault accusations.

In 2006, while accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for Syriana, George Clooney gave a speech that instantly became such shorthand for celebrity smugness that South Park based an entire episode around making fun of it. “We are a little bit out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while, I think. It’s probably a…

Bill Cosby’s sexual assault case ended in a mistrial back in June, and now Deadline is reporting that Judge Steven O’Neill has announced that a retrial will be held on November 6.

Today in “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” spokespeople for Bill Cosby have announced Cosby’s intention to hold a series of town hall seminars to “educate young people about sexual assault,” according to TMZ. But the purpose of the meetings doesn’t seem to be educating them on why sexual assault is bad, or how to…

Bill Cosby’s sexual assault trial concluded in a hung jury last Saturday, after six days of deliberations, one day of proceedings, and just one defense witness.
