1. the accuser admits that her memory is fuzzy on the details from the night in question
2. according to the Canadian media, six months after the alleged incident, she took her parents to meet Mr. Cosby , her
alleged attacker
3. the accuser decided to pursue charges after she started massage therapy school in Canada and "realized" that she
what happened between her and Mr. Cosby on the night in quesion was inappropriate. hence, the investigation.

umm...i'm trying to wrap my mind around these allegations and see this woman as a "victim" but it's a little hard right now...

Controversial radio personality Wendy Williams just reported on her show that it is a rumor going around that Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child has called off her engagement to Dallas Cowboy's Roy Williams. She said that when proposed to, Rowland initially said yes, however, now that she's had time to think about it, apparently she has changed her mind. She states that Rowland has been calling guest and notifying them by mail that the wedding has been called off. However, a representative for Rowland said that the rumors are false and that Rowland and Williams have only changed the date of the wedding not called the whole thing off. Who knows?

American Idol hopeful watches performance from jail
Last Update: 1/27/2005 2:00:16 PM
Posted By: Ron Reams
Watch this video
(MOBILE, Ala.) January 26 -- An American Idol hopeful, gaining notoriety, but not just for his shot at stardom. T-V viewers found Grand Bay's Leroy Wells on national T-V Tuesday night. However, on Wednesday, the would-be could be found in Mobile Metro Jail.
While millions of American Idol fans kept it locked into Leroy, Leroy was locked up behind bars for failing to appear in court.
The 22-year-old Grand Bay, Alabama native wowed fans with his rendition of "Got Your Money" by O-D-B. Even though he wasn't able to watch his performance from home, sheriff's deputies tell NBC 15 they did allow Leroy and other inmates to watch American Idol from jail.
Mobile Police spokesman Marcus Young says Leroy Wells was arrested earlier this month for reportedly shooting a hand gun into an occupied vehicle. Apparently they were arguing over how the cars were in the roadway at which time Mr. Wells allegedly shot the victim in his hip, Young says.
“Family members say because Leroy is a “pretty boy,� he gets picked on a lot, which explains why he may have been carrying a pistol to protect himself. His brother, Ryan Peyton tells NBC 15 News: "A lot of people picks on him and he's had that problem since he's been a kid. As he got older he just got tired of it and so he took measures into his own hands".
According to Mobile County Sheriff's department records, Wells has a prior criminal record including seven other arrests. The charges range from disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana, to carrying a pistol without a permit.

His brother says despite those incidents, Leroy is destined for stardom and would not go as far as shooting another human being. “I'm saying he didn't do it.Â_ It's all hear-say from what I know.â€?
Wednesday, Leroy’s family had trouble coming up with bond money, some $11,000, but later were ableÂ_to come up with the money.Â_Leroy wasÂ_released from custody early Wednesday evening.

MISS JONES SUSPENDED FROM
HOT 97: Action taken over tsunami
parody; Asian rapper Jin responds.

*New York DJ Miss Jones and
her morning show crew on New
York's Hot 97 were suspended
indefinitely Wednesday for airing
a tasteless song parody that made
fun of the tsunami victims and
referred to them in racist terms.
"What happened is morally
and socially indefensible," said
Rick Cummings, president of
Emmis Radio, in announcing
the disciplinary action. "All
involved, myself included, are
ashamed and deeply sorry. I know
the members of the morning team
are contrite. They know their
actions here are inexcusable."
The song, a parody of the
charity single "We Are the World,"
aired last Friday on the Emmis
station WQHT-FM, known locally
as Hot 97. Afterwards, the station
was bombarded with thousands of
angry phone calls demanding Miss
Jones (a.k.a. Tarsha Jones) be
fired.
The DJ offered an on-air
apology, and the station initially
announced that she and a half-dozen
other members of the morning team
would donate a week's salary to
tsunami relief. The station, in a
statement posted on its Web site,
said management later decided
"stronger action was necessary to
demonstrate the severity of the
situation."
As previously reported, the
song included references to
"screaming chinks" "drowning
Africans" and orphaned children
"sold into child slavery." The
chorus began, "So now you're
screwed, it's a tsunami, you'd
better run ... go find your mommy."
The indefinite suspension of
Jones, her sidekick Todd Lynn and
others was not enough for some
politicians. Others had called for
advertisers to boycott the station
and for Emmis to fire its staffers -
a move supported by City Councilman
John Liu, whose Queens district
includes a large Asian population.
"It's clearly not sufficient,"
Liu said. "Miss Jones and Todd Lynn
need to be terminated, taken off the
air permanently."
*Meanwhile, Chinese-American
rapper Jin, known best for his seven-
week undefeated run on "106 & Park's"
Freestyle Friday competition before
being retired to the "Hall of Fame,"
fired back at the Hot97 parody in a
new dis track. According to SOHH.com,
the song - set to Jay-Z's "Breathe
Easy" - contains lyrics aimed at Miss
Jones, calling her a "no-talent
wannabe shock jock." At the end of the
song, he tells Miss Info, who is part
Asian and the only member of the
morning crew to denounce the song, to
"keep your head up, Ma."
Jin also says in the song: "F***
the Tsunami song and whoever thought
of it. / Matter fact, f*** the engineer
that recorded it. / And the brains
behind the scenes, that applauded it/
Anything for ratings huh... the sh** is
corporate/ That little bullsh**
statement has got to be/ the world's
most half-assed apology/ Thousands are
still getting discovered each day/ how
dare you compare a life to a week's pay."
According to SOHH, Jin is calling
for folks to protest the Hot97 parody
by directing complaint letters to the
station's sponsors - including Reebok,
McDonalds and SprintPCS.

very sad. his future looked bright. i feel bad for his family, in particular his twin brother

[WenD08]

i'm on a roll today, but it's not the best of news
Bill Cosby, per Cynthia McFadden/ABC News, stated that there was a consensual relationship between he and the accuser. he did not molest her in anyway, ditto on drugging her.
hmmm...so Mr. Cosby is a dog, but not an attacker...okay. that i can see. as for the wife, Camille Cosby, i wonder what she's thinking? and this all comes out on their forty-first anniversary
Happy Anniversary, indeed
