FRAIL BILL COSBY: CHARGED...BOOKED...& RELEASED ON BAIL

Meet Karma! Bill Cosby leaned on a cane as he exited a Pennsylvania courthouse after he was arraigned on felony rape and indecency charges today.

The frail comedian was flanked by a man and a woman.

Cosby, who wore a gray sweater and carried a briefcase, entered the Elkins Park, PA. courthouse and posted 10% of his $1 million bail in Cash and asked to hand over his passport.


He nearly tripped on the sidewalk as dozens of photographers snapped photos and shouted his name.

The 78-year-old married father of 5 was charged with sexually assaulting former Temple employee Andrea Constand at his Elkins Park, Pennsylvania mansion in January 2004.  

Cosby claims that Constand did not ask him to stop at any point.  He then admitted to giving her a blueberry muffin and some tea when she awoke early the next morning.
He also said the two had 'petted and kissed' several times in the past, and that he 'liked the petting and touching.'

When asked if he had ever had sexual intercourse with Constand he said 'never asleep or awake.'

Constand then launched her civil suit against Cosby, a man she called her 'mentor,' in March 2005, after no criminal charges were filed against the actor. Cosby settled that suit for undisclosed terms in 2006. 

Parts of Cosby's deposition from that lawsuit were unsealed earlier this year also, and reveal that thge actor admitted to obtaining Quaaludes to give to women.

After the arraignment, attorney Gloria Allred announced her intention to file civil lawsuits against Cosby for 29 of 50 women who claim they were raped by Cosby.

“In Pennsylvania, there is now a journey to justice for Mr. Bill Cosby,” said Allred during a press conference at her California office. “I will now be carefully monitoring the progress of his criminal case.”

Allred offered to provide her clients to testify in Cosby’s criminal case. She said Cosby retained “700 attorneys” to defend him against accusations leveled by one of her clients.

Montgomery County District Attorney-Elect Kevin Steele attempted to justify the arrest warrant at a press conference on Wednesday.

“A prosecutor’s job is to follow the evidence wherever it leads and whenever it comes to light,” Steele said. “Upon examination of all the evidence, today we are able to seek justice on behalf of the victim.”

Steele said Cosby “made two sexual advances at [Constand] that were rejected.” He added, “Mr. Cosby urged her to take pills and to drink wine, the effect of which left her unable to” reject his advances.

Constand, 42, works as a massage therapist in Canada.

FANS TOO LOYAL! ANOTHER DERANGED FAN ARRESTED AT CHRIS BROWN HOUSE

Access granted?  Singer Chris Brown was the victim of an attempted home invasion by a crazed female fan.

Police say a 27-year-old woman was arrested after she trespassed on Brown’s property Tuesday afternoon. She never made it inside the home.

The unidentified woman drove up to the property’s front gate, and waited for someone to leave before driving through the still-open gate onto the property.

The woman was immediately spotted by security who asked her to leave, but she refused.

The police were called and the woman was arrested and charged with trespassing.

Chris was at home but never came out, his 2 year old daughter Royalty, was not on the property at the time.

If you recall, Brown’s Tarazana, California mansion was robbed by home invaders who held his aunt at gunpoint in July. The intruders made off with $50,000 in cash.

And in May, Brown found a naked woman inside his home. He posted a photo of her on social media along with the caption: “I get home and find this crazy individual in my house. She had broken the hinges off the doors.”

The woman caused minor damage to the property, cooked eggs in his kitchen, and spray painted “MRS BROWN” on his Rolls Royce and Range Rover.

AND THE WINNER IS..? WATCH STEVE HARVEY CROWN THE WRONG MISS UNIVERSE

Host Steve Harvey made the biggest blunder in the history of The Miss Universe Pageant on Sunday.

Harvey, mistakenly announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner of the pageant when the actual winner was Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.


After realizing his error, a red-faced Harvey said, “It was my mistake. It was on the card. I can show it to you right here. The first runner-up is Colombia.” He then held the card up to the camera. “It’s my mistake,” he continued. It’s still a great night. Please don’t hold it against the ladies… Please don’t. We feel so badly, but it’s still a great night.”

Afterwards, Harvey took to Twitter.com to tweet a sincere apology to the contestants. “I want to apologize emphatically to Miss Philippians and Miss Colombia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful.”

 Newsday — Harvey says it was his mistake and that he would take responsibility for not reading the card correctly that named Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach this year’s winner and Colombia the first runner-up.

A mystified Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside the crown-wearing Arevalo before last year’s Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach’s head instead just before the program abruptly ended.

Actress Nicey Nash was there and one of the 1st celebs who took to twitter to address the outrage:

SERENA WILLIAMS NAMED 2015 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SPORTS PERSON OF THE YEAR

Serena Williams was tapped as the Sports Illustrated’s 2015 Sportsperson of the Year on Monday.

Williams, 34, wearing a custom designer Michael Costello outfit won three Grand Slam titles and  lost three times in 56 matches as she dominated women’s tennis this year. Williams is the first individual woman to be selected to the honor since track champion Mary Decker in 1983.

“This year was spectacular,” Serena Williams said in a statement. "For Sports Illustrated to recognize my hard work, dedication and sheer determination with this award gives me hope to continue on and do better. As I always say, it takes a village— not just one person. This is not just an accomplishment for me, but for my whole team and all my fans. I am beyond honored.”

In other Serena news, over the weekend, Tennis star Serena Williams has been spotted getting a cab to the finishing line of her own 5k run, which was raising funds for her charity foundation.

Williams was seen stopping near the 2km mark of the Serena Williams Live Ultimate Run South Beach 2015 event in Miami where she jumped into taxi. The car then sped to the finish line. 

Her sister Venus, who was also taking part in the charity run, was able to complete the run to the end.

Serena had been one of 3,000 runners pounding the pavement along the course along Ocean Drive and through the Art Deco district of Miami Beach.

The 34-year-old top athlete was wearing an orange Nike t-shirt, black leggings and sneakers for the run but added a touch of her signature style with sparking earrings and matching ring.
She appeared to start the run well on Sunday morning but by around the two kilometer mark, witnesses at the event say they saw her climbing into the yellow cab. 

So we ask is she wrong for doing that or not?
