Jeremy Piven wants Hollywood to remember one thing amid the flood of sexual misconduct allegations against himself and others: Innocent until proven guilty. Piven says, "We seem to be entering dark times -- allegations are being printed as facts and lives are being put in jeopardy without a hearing, due process or evidence." Last month, a woman claimed Piven had groped and sexually harassed her on the "Entourage" set. Two other women have also come forward with accusations against him.

Innocent until proven guilty may still apply in a court of law, as it should, but given the overwhelming amount of sexual assault charges and evidence piling up against beleaguered studio chief Harvey Weinstein, perhaps sticking up for the guy isn’t the best look right now, if at all ever. Especially if the defense comes from a privileged white male director from a similar era when, as Weinstein wrote recently, “all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different.”

Back then, when the universe was trying to create justice from whatever scraps of phantom it could find, I was working for one of the all-time excellent comic book editors, writing stories about a superheroic archer. I once gave this archer a line that conflated a politician with… I don’t remember the exact wording, but it had something to do with corruption or the like. The editor seldom asked me for rewrites. He was not the kind of fellow would impose his ego on the work of others by demanding unnecessary revisions But in this instance, he asked for a tiny couple of changes: he wanted me to make “politician” plural and add “some” to modify that same “politician.” So our hero said that only some politicians were corrupt and hence not all of them were.
Big deal? Huh uh. At least it shouldn’t be. In such a situation,...

Cory Didriksen was a go-getter. Upbeat and hard-working, "she always had a smile on her face," recalls her mom, Marty. She easily recounts her daughter's many accomplishments growing up in Quincy, Illinois, and at the University of Iowa, where Cory was an Academic All-American named to the Honors Program. When Cory announced to her mom one day, "I've met the man I'm going to marry," the name came as a surprise: Curtis Lovelace, a former high school classmate of Cory's and hometown football hero, who by then had taken his talents and the town's well-wishes with him to the University of Illinois,...

(Spoiler alert: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Monday’s “Celebrity Apprentice” finale and don’t want to be spoiled). And just like that, Leeza Gibbons was hired. After enduring weeks of drama and nerve-wracking challenges, Leeza was named Season 14 winner of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” on Monday night. “Isn’t this amazing?” Leeza asked, after winning an additional $250,000 for her charity. The show’s host Donald Trump also announced the reality competition would return for Season 15.

Two more women have joined a defamation lawsuit against Bill Cosby.
The Associated Press reports Florida women Therese Serignese and Linda Traitz have become additional plaintiffs in a suit originally filed in Massachusetts on Dec. 10 by Tamara Green, who claims that Cosby assaulted her in the early 1970s when she was an aspiring model and singer.

Pulliam said she withheld asking TV dad for a donation during challenge on the NBC reality show because it would have been “very rude”
Contrary to speculation by Judd Apatow, fired “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Keshia Knight does not hate her former “Cosby Show” dad, Bill Cosby, because of numerous allegations of sexual assault.
“What I can say is this: I wasn’t there. No one was there except for the two people who know exactly what happened,” Pulliam, who played Rudy Huxtable on the NBC sitcom, told “Today Show” host Savannah Guthrie in an interview on Monday. “All I can...

Da Vinci’s Demons, Season 2: Episode 1 – “The Blood of Man”
Written by David S. Goyer and Corey Reed
Directed by Charles Sturridge
Airs Saturday nights at 9 on Starz
As Riaro sentences Zoroaster and Lucretia to death, Nico fumbles around for a moment and awkwardly asks “…what about me?” His enemies don’t even consider him a threat. Poor Nico.
The first season of Da Vinci’s Demons (now called DVD for the purposes of these reviews; I’m an idiot for not noticing that acronym last year) ended on a classic freshman cliffhanger. What was going to happen to Leonardo and Lorenzo? We were forced to wait it out as Starz filled its line-up during the interim with other historical adventure shows like The White Queen and Black Sails. I’m generally not a proponent of cliffhangers as a device, especially when they’re cheap. And, admittedly, when we...

The season finale of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia brings the Gang into an intense trial, maybe not as intense as the days of The World Series Defense, but much more involved considering it was all handled in house. The result, Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense, is another great episode of the show.
The premise of a full trial episode had me excited for one simple reason: Charlie’s obsession with law. The majority of the funniest Charlie lines have something to do with law. From the early seasons where he proclaimed “Objection! Hearsay! See that’s lawyer talk,” all the way to “Mind you that heretofore document had dry ink on it for many fork-night,” there are few things better than Charlie doing his best Law And Order impression. So for this week’s episode to involve a trial, it was safely assumed that the episode would...

Last night’s episode of The Killing was upstaged by the stunning news of another death, this one just a little more significant than that of a fictional teenage girl. I joked on Twitter that I was choosing to watch the show over President Obama’s news conference, but the truth is that I hadn’t even started watching the episode when the news broke that our Commander in Chief had something important to tell the nation. I toggled for hours between cable news and my Twitter feed, tracking bits of speculation and updates, jesting and jubilation. I finally got...

World-famous attorney Gloria Allred talks to Hollywood.tv about the Michael Jackson death investigation. "It's hard to imagine a set of circumstances in which Diprivan should have been placed into Michael Jackson through an IV in his own home." But, "it depends," she adds. "Was it Diprivan, was it he who inserted the IV, and if so what were the circumstances ... There are lots of questions. It's going to be a very, very interesting and challenging case -- if there is a case." "I think he's entitled to the presumption of innocence," she continues, adding that anyone who is charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
