Phylicia Rashad

HAS PHYLICIA RASHAD LOST HER MIND?

Not sure what was more devastating this morning – the news that Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction was overturned and he’s already been released from prison, OR the fact that his TV wife Phylicia Rashad is HAPPY about it! Keep in mind, he was released due to a procedural issue and it had NOTHING to do with the facts of the crime. He is still GUILTY. Why Phylicia is celebrating this crime against women is a mystery – we always found her to be a sensible and intelligent woman. She believes the accusations were “a conspiracy against Cosby’s legacy” and declared today “ A terrible wrong is being righted!” What is RIGHT about the egotistical Bill Cosby NOT being punished for his crimes? It so happens we WITNESSED one of his attempted seductions and it happened just they way all those girls described…

OUR FAVORITE MALE FEMINIST: JUDD APATOW

Judd Apatow seems to be the only famous guy in Hollywood coming out STRONG against Bill Cosby, and we love him for it. Not only is he criticizing Whoopi Goldberg for her “he’s innocent until proven guilty” stance in spite of Cosby’s OWN confession. Apatow is also calling out Bill’s wife of over 50 years, Camille Cosby, AND Bill’s TV wife Phylicia Rashad , who have been totally supportive of Cosby and don’t believe the 40 female accusers. Apparently Cosby and his wife have some sort of Clinton agreement between them, but she should remain silent instead of making a fool of herself. We can’t figure out why Phylicia would embarrass herself by supporting Cosby. But Judd IS a feminist dream.

EX LEAD SINGER VICTOR WILLIS WATCHED FROM CROWD AS THE VILLAGE PEOPLE GOT THEIR STAR ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD

The Hollywood Walk of Fame attracted a boisterous and eclectic crowd Friday – with many in costume like their favorite characters from The Village People who received a star. The 70’s disco stars still tour- in fact they opened for Cher last time she was in LA. The Indian Felipe Rose (above) was an original group member – “cowboy” Randy Jones and “cop” Victor Willis left the group years ago. The event had a fascinating twist because former lead singer Victor Willis showed up in a fake cop uniform and watched the ceremony from the sidewalk. Later he signed autographs at a Hollywood Blvd store. Victor made more money than anyone in the group because he gets royalties for writing the lyrics to their biggest hits YMCA, Macho Man, and In The Navy. For years he’s battled a raging drug problem (it destroyed his marriage to Phylicia Rashad of The Cosby Show.) Years ago at a low point he was seen selling Phylicia’s castoff clothes on the street in San Francisco. He says he’s clean now. You can see The Village People perform at the LA County Fair.

SHE'D LIKE TO FORGET

The arrest of the former lead singer of the Village People, Victor Willis, (the cop) brings to mind a story that might NOT amuse his exwife Phylicia Rashad. In 1980, Willis’s drug use apparently caused him to split with the successful group AND his wife Phylicia. (We bet she’d like to forget THAT period of her life.) Phylicia went on to star on The Cosby Show and drug addled Victor became a fixture on the streets of San Francisco . One day in the early 90’s a friend of ours was walking on Haight and Fillmore and encountered Willis with a blanket on the sidewalk, hawking women’s clothing. There were shoes, boots, lingerie, and assorted sweaters etc. “Fifty cents apiece!” he yelled “These are Phylicia Rashad’s clothes – I used to be married to her! And there’s more where this came from!” Our friend bought a slip, and we wonder -what would Claire Huxtable have thought of this?
