Another woman has come forward with claims that she was sexually abused by Bill Cosby.
On Sunday, publicist Joan Tarshis wrote an essay for Hollywood Elsewhere detailing the two times she says she was raped in 1969. At the time, Tarshis was staying with two women who were friends with Cosby. After their first meeting over lunch, Tarshis says she was invited to visit Cosby on set.
"One day he asked me to stay after the shooting and work on some material with him," she says. "I was even more flattered and thought this would help move my writing career along...

MasterChef Junior Sneak Peek: Tough Questions From Chef Ramsay's Mom!
31 minutes ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
“There’s something really difficult about having your mom in the MasterChef kitchen,” says the irascible Gordon Ramsay at the start of this exclusive sneak preview of Tuesday’s episode (8/7c on Fox).
Hmmm. Then perhaps the famous chef shouldn’t be asking her if he was as accomplished a cook at age 8 as the budding chefs in front of them?
This week’s episode will feature the 10 remaining kids putting their own twists on Gordon’s favorite dishes growing up — but it’s Mama Ramsay’s standard first question upon her arrival in Los Angeles that had us chuckling hardest. »
Natalie Dormer reveals the 'diva' of 'Game of Thrones' cast in Reddit Ama
38 minutes ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Natalie Dormer has had a busy few years in Hollywood—including playing Cressida in The Hunger Games, Margaery Tyrell on Game of Thrones, Moriarty on Elementary— and with that comes plenty of stories to tell. In a Reddit Ama on Monday, she regaled her fans with some of them, and even outed one of her Game of Thrones co-stars as a major diva. Here's what she revealed: 1. Ser Pounce isn't all he's cracked up to be: The true star of Game of Thrones season four, Ser Pounce, made only one appearance last season, but he apparently caused a lot of trouble in the process. »

6 things Jaden and Willow Smith taught us in their 'New York Times' Q&A
43 minutes ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
As you're probably well aware, The New York Times' T Magazine recently caught up with Willow and Jaden Smith, and it got weird. Spewing aphorisms on controlling time, prana energy, and the futility of school, the siblings Smith (who are both promoting upcoming albums) proved that they've essentially become holograms of themselves, and only making it harder for us to distinguish between the parodies of themselves and the truth. Based on the Q&A alone, it's hard to tell whether the progeny of the Fresh Prince and Fish Mooney are kidding or if they really seem to think they are »

CBS Slots ‘Mike & Molly’ to Replace ‘The Millers’ on Mondays
52 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
In a bid to bolster its Monday lineup — and provide a stronger lead-in for rookie drama “Scorpion” — CBS has slotted the fifth season of “Mike & Molly” for the night starting Dec. 8.
“Mike & Molly,” which had aired in Monday’s 9 o’clock hour in its first four seasons, will take over the 8:30 p.m. timeslot currently occupied by “The Millers.” CBS pulled the plug on “Millers” last week, with the second-year show airing tonight and next week before disappearing.
The move is not a surprise, as CBS had a full 22-episode season order of “Mike & Molly” and was expected to get it on the air sooner rather than later. “Mike” was also on the bench at the start of last season, and then summoned to the Monday lineup in November after “We Are Men” was axed after just two airings.
“Scorpion” remains a solid performer for CBS, but has fallen »

The TV Exec Who Was Supposed to Save ‘Today’ Has No Tomorrow At NBC
1 hour ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
“Today” has to find a new leader to take it into tomorrow.
Jamie Horowitz arrived at NBC News in September from Espn with a mandate to seize the reins of the unit’s venerable “Today” franchise and steer it to new frontiers, whether they be new-media venues or a return to the number-one spot among morning shows that was taken in 2012 by ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Now, in November, he is abruptly leaving the operation.
“He’s a talented producer and executive, but, together, he and I have come to the conclusion that this is not the right fit,” NBC News President Deborah Turness said in a memo Monday to staffers. In the wake of Horowitz’ departure, Turness said, she will continue working closely with Don Nash, the executive producer of “Today,” and Jen Brown, the vice president and general manager of Today.com. She expects to find a new general manager of “Today, »

1 hour ago | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
Fox has renewed So You Think You Can Dance for a 12th season, and it's getting a sparkly new outfit for the occasion. The dance competition series will look a bit different when it returns next summer, featuring a new "stage vs street" format, in which dancers will be divided into two teams. Street dancers include those trained in hip-hop, animation, or breaking, while stage dancers include those trained in contemporary, ballet, jazz, or tap. The top 20 will be composed of 10 street dancers and 10 stage dancers, and once the live episodes come, one dancer from each genre will be eliminated each week. »
