George Zimmerman 911 Call Editing Leads to Lawsuit Against NBC

George Zimmerman has filed a lawsuit against NBC over the way the network edited and played a 911 call following the shooting of Trayvon Martin in February. Zimmerman claims NBC made him look like a “hostile racist.” Trayvon Martin 911 Call NBC launched an internal investigation over the Trayvon Martin 911 call after it aired the recording, which featured Zimmerman quotes outside of their original context. The tape played on the air made it sound like Zimmerman immediately told police that Martin, who he says he shot in self-defense, was black, without being prompted. In actuality, the full George Zimmerman 911 call reveals he only said Martin “looks black” when responding to a question from the dispatcher about Trayvon’s race. Zimmerman, who has been charged with second-degree murder , accuses NBC of creating a “false and defamatory misimpression using the oldest form of yellow journalism.” He cites the recording above as proof of this allegation. NBC, his lawyer says, ” manipulated Zimmerman’s words , splicing together disparate parts of the recording to create the illusion of statements that he never actually made.” Whether a judge and/or jury agree remains to be seen. Free on bail and using autograph sales to raise cash, the 28-year-old suing for unspecified damages, citing defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch coordinator for his gated community in Sanford, Florida, fatally shot the 17-year-old Martin on February 26. He has claimed the shooting was in self-defense. His supporters have long held that he is a victim of media bias in the case that became a sensational national obsession, and should be exonerated.

Ben Savage: Girl Meets World Will Be Special, Funny

As you’ve likely heard (and gotten really excited about if you watched TV from 1993-2000), Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel will star in a Boy Meets World spinoff . The new series, Girl Meets World , will air on the Disney Channel and be told from the perspective of Cory and Topanga Mattews’ teenage daughter, Riley. Ben (Cory) recently spoke about the new show for the first time. “We’re going to wait and see what happens,” he told Rolling Stone about more returning characters. “Obviously, I don’t want to give away too many details.” “But there’s definitely been discussions about some of everyone’s favorite characters popping up [on Girl Meets World ] and making appearances.” Rider Strong , who played Cory’s best friend Shawn, is reportedly not involved with the new show, at least on a series regular basis. Casting is still underway. Savage says it was a long process getting even to this point. “It was just a matter of making sure all of us were on the same page about what we were going to do in terms of hopefully making the show last another seven years,” he said. “There were different options… but it just seems a little poetic that we’re coming back 13 years later and it’s following our daughter’s character. I like that concept.” “It’s kind of passing it off to the next generation.” Ben’s statement on Girl Meets World echoes that of Danielle Fishel (Topanga), who said she would not have signed on if the spinoff weren’t strong on its own merit. “We want to do justice to the characters, and we want to make sure we respect people’s memories of the show,” the 32-year-old actor assures fans. “We’re doing everything we can to make sure that this is going to be something special and funny, and hopefully it’ll make new memories for a new generation.” Filming is set to begin in February. Pumped up for Girl Meets World?   Yes! I used to love that show! Yes, I bet Topanga is even hotter now! The hell is Boy Meets World?! View Poll »

Danielle Fishel Confirms Girl Meets World Spinoff, Thanks Fans in Letter

The Internet has exploded with joy at the news that Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel signed on to reprise their Boy Meets World roles in a new Disney Channel spinoff. Fishel says it’s all because of those fans that Girl Meets World is being made. The actress, 31, and Savage, 32, will play the married Cory and Topanga Matthews, and the spinoff will be told from the perspective of their teenage daughter, Riley. Rider Strong won’t be back as Shawn, sadly, but there’s always hope for a future cameo. Addressing the show for the first time, Danielle Fishel wrote on Tumblr: First of all, let me say that you, the fans of Boy Meets World, have been awesome. That word is often used incorrectly by people, including myself, on a daily basis but you have truly been awe inspiring. You, yes, even YOU, are the reason that Girl Meets World WILL BE MADE. I do not know how many BMW cast members will be returning for GMW, or how often they may appear if and/or when they do appear. I am going to do my best to not speak for others with this open post. But because I have known Michael Jacobs, Ben Savage, Rider Strong, Will Friedle, and Bill Daniels for 19 years, I know we share many of the same feelings regarding the 7 wonderful years we spent making BMW. Those years were among the most warm, hilarious, insightful, educational years of my life and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. Another thing I wouldn’t trade for anything is the integrity and the heart with which BMW was made. I promise with the entirety of my heart that we will make GMW with the same honesty, innocence, and intelligence that you learned to expect from BMW .

Girl Meets World Casts Ben Savage, Danielle Fishel!

Girl Meets World has cast Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, officially making the Boy Meets World spinoff super exciting for fans of the original ABC comedy. As previously announced, the forthcoming Disney Channel series will focus on the teen daughter of married Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence Matthews. The story will be told from Riley’s point of view, with her father serving as the school’s history teacher. Savage is only 32 and Fishel 31 (both could pass for even younger no less), so the duo having a teenager is a stretch … but hey, it’s television, right? The casting of Cory and Topanga leaves us hoping that Rider Strong’s Shawn and/or William Daniels’ Mr. Feeny will also reprise their roles on the Boy Meets World spinoff. No date has been announced for the pilot yet, but Boy Meets World creator and executive producer Michael Jacobs will helm the show and further casting. [Photos: WENN.com, Fame/Flynet]
