And Another One: 8th Cosby Assault Victim Steps Forward With Story Of Alleged Abuse At Age 15

SMH. Former Cosby Cast Mate Steps Forward As Alleged Victim One of Bill Cosby’s former co-stars has stepped forward and claimed that she too suffered sexual assault and repeated abuse at the comedian’s hands as a young girl. Via MailOnline : A former Picture Page cast member has become the latest woman to make sexual assault allegations against Bill Cosby, claiming he drugged her and sexually assaulted her when she was a 15-year-old aspiring actress. Mother-of-three Renita Chaney Hill, who appeared alongside the comedian in the educational program, said the pair had relationship for four years during the 1980s while he paid her college tuition. The 47-year-old from Pittsburgh said she would be flown to different cities around the country and when they stayed in hotels, he would insist she had a drink, even though she was still in high school. She told KDKA she believed that is when he drugged her as she did not remember anything until she woke up the next morning. ‘He would fly me to a number of cities. He would be busy during the day, then I’d come to his hotel room at night,’ she added. ‘One time, I remember just before I passed out, I remember him kissing and touching me and I remember the taste of his cigar on his breath, and I didn’t like it. I remember another time when I woke up in my bed the next day and he was leaving, he mentioned you should probably lose a little weight. I thought that odd, how would he know that.’ When she turned 19, she cut off all ties with Cosby, even though he was paying her way through school. Her parents seemed happy with her continuing what seemed like a mentoring relationship, but Hill had enough, and even gave up her dream of becoming an actress. Hill claims her husband and three daughters are aware of what happened. She told the station she has no apologies for waiting 30 years to tell the story and said she decided to come forward when Cosby’s lawyers criticized other alleged victims. Hill added: ‘No one wants to be associated with something like this. But the bottom line for me is that no one has the right to violate someone else, no matter who they are. I don’t care how big they are or how the community sees them, it’s not right.’ Well she’s the first co-star we’ve heard step forward…can we expect any stories from any castmates on his most famous show???

Despite all the cheating, alleged drug use and his NBA career loss, Bruce still thinks Lamar’s good for Khloe and he let her know that,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. We’re told Bruce got deep with Khloe and recited some influential quotes to try and convince the reality star that Lamar’s the man for her! “He loves John Wooden. He threw a Wooden line at her and told her ‘if you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?’ “He tried to convey to Khloe that mistakes happen in relationships and that forgiveness is most important,” the source explains. “He told her ‘you and Lamar are still so very young, there’s still time to make it work.’” What do you think? Khloe’s blown off some steam and had her fun…is it time to stop running around with rappers and go home to her man?

No More Jailbaiting: Underage Kylie Jenner Dumps Grown-Azz Tyga After Family Intervention

Did her big sisters finally get through to her? Kylie Jenner Breaks Up With Tyga At Her Family’s Urging After Tyga went out of his way to change his birthday venue to make sure his underage boo-thang would be able to legally attend, Kylie didn’t even bother to show up on the big day. Now rumors are flying that the jailbait Jenner is finally listening to her family and is done being the rapper’s rebound. Seriously…how embarrassing must it be to get stood-up by an 11th-grader on your 25th birthday? Via RadarOnline : Kylie Jenner stood up her rumored boyfriend Tyga for his 25th birthday party Wednesday night, and a family insider tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that it’s a major sign that the 17-year-old “has finally started listening to her family’s advice and has begun distancing herself from him.” According to online reports, the rapper had originally planned to have his party at L.A. hotspot Greystone Manor, but had changed the location to The Argyle because Kylie is only seventeen, which is not old enough to be at Greystone. The Argyle, a restaurant, allows in patrons under 21, but Jenner was a no-show. “They want him out,” the friend tells Radar, referring to the teen’s older half-sisters on Keeping up with the Kardashians. In particular, “Kourtney and Khloe are doing everything they can to keep her from him,” the source said. As Radar reported, Kim Kardashian, 34, disapproves of the relationship too, “because he is the father of her BFF Blac Chyna’s 2-year-old son, King Cairo Stevenson,” according to a source. She made her feelings known when she famously cropped Tyga out of a group photo last week at French Montana’s birthday party in Las Vegas. “Kylie is starting to now see that he is clearly trying to ride on her current wave of fame,” says the source. “She is a young and beautiful girl and does not need to be getting into anything serious right now. Nor does she need a hanger-on.” How does the grown man manage to get dropped by the child??? HA!

Girl, Bye! ‘Hollywood Divas’ Star Golden Brooks Denies Trying To Steal Paula Jai Parker’s Homeless Husband

Who really wants Paula’s man??! Golden Brooks Denies Wanting To Steal Paula Jai Parker’s Husband It had been a while since Paula Jai Parker felt it necessary to check a woman about her man, but she didn’t hesitate to do so when she thought Golden Brooks was being a little too friendly toward her husband. Via S2S Magazine reports: Golden made it clear to her “Hollywood Divas” co-star that Forest, Paula’s spouse, was not what Golden considered desirable, and the former “Girlfriends” actress thinks Paula may want to get a grip. “She needs to loosen the reins a bit because, like I said, don’t nobody want her man . I’m not judging anyone’s marriage but I think sometimes if you have some stuff that hasn’t been dealt with and we get caught in the crossfire. I think her overreaction has nothing to do with me or any of us,” Golden told TVOne.TV. On the show, viewers witnessed Paula defend her marriage and forbid her co-stars from contacting her husband directly, with the exception of Elise Neal; although, he is supposedly the assistant director who runs things when Paula is unavailable. Paula also refused to give out her man’s personal email address, assuming he has one, and forced the ladies to use their shared account. “We are just the scapegoats for her insecurities,” Golden said. “This all started way before us.” After putting her cast members in their place and establishing the correct protocol for contacting her husband, Paula seemingly put the incident behind her. Though that’s the least of the ladies’ problems when it comes to their production. In addition to Paula’s perpetual absences, actress Countess Vaughn underwent surgery just days before production on their project began. As one of the executive producers, Golden felt it was her job to have an understudy in place. “Do you want to be on camera looking like a chipmunk? No. I was trying to be protective of her not looking her best on camera,” explained Golden who offered to take personal control of Golden’s weight loss. “I don’t think putting her on camera two days after surgery was a good idea.” Golden’s co-stars and some fans didn’t take kindly to her suggestion that Countess’ role be recast or removed from the film, but she doesn’t regret introducing the idea. “It doesn’t feel good, but you have to deal with business. You have a job to do. That was the fine line for me that was really hard. In business, you have to put aside your emotions.” Do you think Golden was really trying to steal Paula’s man???

African American Immigrants Were Given Red-Carpet Treatment In 1930′s Russia

Interesting… 1930′s African American Immigrants To Russia Lived The High Life Filmmakers and professors are now discovering and reporting about the lesser known crop of African Americans who left the US for the USSR back in the early 1930′s, and lived lives much more welcoming and successful than what was afforded to them back home. Via LATimes : Most of the African Americans who came to Russia were seeking a better life, desperate to flee the social inequality and Depression-era hardships that racked America at the time, said Allison Blakely, professor emeritus of history at Boston University who has written a book on the African American immigrants. “They were looking for a society where they could escape color prejudice and racism,” Blakely said. Today, fewer than 50 descendants of these African Americans are believed to still live in Russia. In all, their numbers in the former Soviet republics could be between 100 and 200, according to researchers. They have become footnotes to African American and Russian history, said Yelena Demikovsky, a New York-based Russian film director and researcher who is making a movie, “Black Russians — The Red Experience,” about the immigrants to the Soviet Union and their descendants. Officials actively recruited skilled foreign laborers and professionals, Blakely said. About 18,000 Americans answered the call to work in the 1930s, he said. Among them were several hundred African Americans who traveled to the Soviet Union, including dozens who lived there for “the good part of a decade,” Blakely said. The Soviets gave the African Americans red-carpet treatment, including fat paychecks, subsidized housing and free vacations. The experience of African Americans who traveled to or settled in Russia was overwhelmingly positive, descendants said. In turn, they made valuable contributions to Soviet society, said Blakely, the professor. Agricultural specialists helped devise different uses for materials, such as rope made from hemp. They also helped develop plant species that were cheaper to cultivate. Their contributions provided a boost to the Soviet economy. The lesser-known parts of our history are always so enlightening, aren’t they? LA Times

The Show Must Go On: Kathy Griffin Named As Joan Rivers’ “Fashion Police” Replacement

NeNe wept … Kathy Griffin Will Take Over As Host Of ‘Fashion Police’ Looks like the late Joan Rivers’ fashion judgment shoes have finally been filled by another rude and raunchy comedienne . Via PageSix : Kathy Griffin is about to fill some very big — and stylish — shoes. The comedian will helm E!’s “Fashion Police” in the wake of Joan Rivers‘ death, TMZ reports. Sources connected with the show say the hiring is a “done deal.” Earlier this month, Griffin confirmed she was offered the gig, but told “Access Hollywood,” “I don’t know if the situation is correct at this time for me or right for me at this time.” According to TMZ, the fashion critique show will axe its weekly format when it returns to the airwaves. Instead, it will only air during awards shows and other special events. The 54-year-old will join co-hosts Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic, as well as Joan’s daughter, Melissa Rivers, the website reports. George Kotsiopoulos’ role on the show is not yet known. A rep for E! told Page Six, “At this point, talks are continuing and we have nothing to confirm.” Hmmm…her style of humor is pretty loud and offensive, much like Joan’s was. You think she can pull it off?

Knifed Up Or Nah: Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Says 17-Year-Old Kylie Jenner Has Upgraded To A Bigger Boob Size

Kris sure does let her daughters start off early with the nip and tucks… Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon Says Kylie Jenner Had Boobs Done Via RadarOnline reports: Kylie Jenner denied rumors that she got lip injections, but, according to a leading plastic surgeon, that isn’t the only body part that the 17-year-old reality star appears to have plumped up! “Her breasts do not look ‘natural,’ but rather have the appearance of someone who has undergone breast augmentation,” Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Neal Handel, MD, tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. “In recent photos Kylie’s breasts are distinctly larger than they used to be! A photo of her wearing a black bandeau reveals an “unnatural” appearance typically associated with breast enlargement surgery,” says Dr. Handel, who has not treated Jenner. “Kylie has exaggerated upper pole fullness [or a round appearance], and she has much better defined cleavage than before.” “Breast enlargement surgery is usually done with implants — silicone rubber bags that can be filled either with saline (salt water) or silicone gel,” Dr. Handel tells Radar. “The FDA has approved silicone gel implants for women 22 years of age and older. Therefore, Kylie, who is only 17, would be a candidate for saline implants.” However, notes Dr. Handel, some surgeons are reluctant to perform breast enlargement on patients still in their teens because it is possible that breasts will get larger naturally as the patient gets older. As Radar reported, Jenner spoke to E! at last Thursday’s Kylie Hair Kouture about her rumored plastic surgeries, saying, “I’m like whatever, just say what you want.” Do you think Kylie has had her boobs done??
