Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Groping

A little song, a little dance, a little drizzle down your pants. That kinda sums up a blistering lawsuit filed by a former Weather Channel anchor against her colleague.
Play video
Hillary Andrews claims Bob Stokes tormented her with crude, sexual come-ons, including once allegedly asking her, "Will you lick my swizzle stick?" Andrews also claims Stokes followed her into the women's dressing room, quizzed her about her sexual relationships, and pleaded with her to say she found him attractive. Oh yeah, and then there's this... Stokes allegedly told her, "It tortures me when you wear those heels and skirt."

Andrews took legal action against The Weather Channel, claiming it retaliated against her after she complained and then refused to take action against Stokes. Both since have been fired.

Thesmokinggun.com obtained a lawsuit filed by Andrews against Stokes. That case is pending. Our forecast....he's screwed.


Aging Hollywood

God bless Hollywood -- and the stars that seem to be timeless. And even more so, bless those whose relationship with Father Time has been, to say the least, dysfunctional.

Dancing and Having Sex with the Stars

There have been rumors swirling over who's hooking up with who on "Dancing with the Stars." There's a story going around that Cheryl Burke hooked up with Drew Lachey, although both strongly deny it. Mario Lopez definitely got busy with Karina Smirnov. And now we know Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth got it on.

So what is the "DWTS" policy on the subject of sex with your partner? Our sources connected with the show say ... there is no policy. Dancers can do what they want, and the fact is, it's good for business when there's steam.

Is the Fix in For Archuleta?

David Archuleta could fart and the "A.I." judges would say bravo.

Davie boy was pretty good last night, but really, it's as if the judges were preprogrammed to drool over him regardless of what he did. They didn't cream over Kelly Clarkson the way they did with David, and no offense, but he eats her dust.

"Idol" has its mitts on the recording contracts of the winners. So is this about talent, or that David is more commercial and has a longer shelf life? We're just askin'.....

Celeb Skin and Bones

It's real hard to find a good meal these days, especially when you're stuck in jail or rehab. But not all of these waif-like stars have incarceration to blame for their inability to fill out a pair of skinny jeans.

The "Bionic Woman": 'Memba Her?!

Lindsay Wagner became famous for playing Jamie Sommers on the '70s TV series "The Bionic Woman." Guess what she looks like now!

Finally, Something Other than a Celeb Blows

16. David C. should win; however, David A. is VERY talented for a 17 yr old whose father is such a bully that the child is afraid of the wind blowing. In the past his father was kicked out from backstage because he was bullying David A. He definitely needs a more loving - stable home. I hate to think what his dad is going to do when David A. is voted off. The judges DO critize David A. but they do it very gently.

17. Ok, David Archuleta is good - but only the first time you hear him. I do not think I will buy his CD like what I did with Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino and Carrie Underwood- I did not even buy Taylor Hicks because he is not the guy and Jordin - maybe. So having said that, I bought Chris Daughtry's CD and I will for sure buy David Cook or Syesha Mercado. Good luck to both- they are both contenders in my eyes.

18. re: THE WEATHER CHANNEL

I'm sure his comments to her (if she's telling the truth) was a joke. A bad joke...but defo a joke.

19. American idol is a joke its just a tool for the labels to test their product on the public. I have only watched this show a few times and it does nothing for me, i have better things to do with my life. Most people who watch this show are tone deaf and wouldnt know talent if it hit them if the head and they decide the fate of the singers. I believe that the fix is in before the new series starts and this will go on until the people get sick of this show.

20. enjoyed JimJam's comment most -- he wonders if you've taken your meds, I wonder if he has his hearing aid adjusted properly -- at 74, maybe the "tin ear" is closer to home than he thinks! Obviously, David takes top honors this year on idol -- to those of us who really can judge musical talent . . . Archuletta needs to go back to high school and come back when he's a grown up -- after all, it's not "preteen idol" it's "American Idol" . . . though it doesn't matter who they tout in the end, we'll pick the real winner at the cash register -- and, like Daughtry did before him, David will be the real winner this year.

21. Paul are you crazy, the number 2 person is not the winner except in the instance of Ruben (he needs new mgt). Who was the number 2 person when Kelly won more importantly where is he? What about the number 2 person when Fantasia won, yep she is on CMT doing another reality show.

AI Fanatic- And David Cook-look I am not even into rock in a big way but when he took Mariah "Always be my baby" and turned into a rock-haunting-Aerosmitheqe (I know that isn't a word) song I was like This guy has talent and isn't afraid to do something different. I don't think he is a Daughtry wannabe. If you are going to call him that then be fair and call Daughtry a wannabe (what is the lead singer of Nickelback's name?).

The sad fact is American Idol is not as good as it once was. This year they wanted to cut back on the celebrity guest mentors but still its lacking...I can't wait until So you think you can dance comes back on. My only hope is that it doesn't lose its charm the way A I has.

22. Individual Responsibility? Common Sense? Best taught by paewnts to children at an early age. Does not work well with liberalism or the other isms.

Good for her. Women do not need this kind of treatment in the work place. Some empty suits, Mr egos think they are Gods gift to womenhood. For us real men it is still seek and you will find, ask and you will receive but you have to do it in the right manner.

23. Remember, folks, these are OPINIONS, and everyone is entitled to express theirs. I personally think Archuleta is fantastic...Im 66 years old...loved a lot of singers' voices, but was surprised when the kid gave me chills singing "The Long Winding Road"...he's way beyond his years...perfect pitch..big range..pure tone...and enough intensity to move me and the judges! I think he's the best of the crop.

24. The FIX was in since DAY ONE............

25. The last few years the women on The Weather Channel girls have gotten uglier & fatter than ever. Used to be I would tune in just to see some sexy women, possibly a skirt. So whatever Stokes saw...we the viewer didn't !
They need to get hott again and get some good looking women on....now I tune to Fox or CNN

26. My husbund & I really love David Archuleta. I do not believe the the Judges or the show has an agenda to put in a fix. As for the judges criticizing David, there is usually nothing to criticize!!! Do you people that are saying these things and how American Idol works, do you work for ABC, or the show to come up with these comments? If not, you should keep your thoughts to yourself. It seems to me you people are trying to FIX it so David A. does not win. Just my opion which is about as good as yours!

29. Sorry....AI does NOT alter the votes. This from a source I know who does management for the show. It may be a coincidence, but unfortunately, the ones who make the most votes, tend to not get it right.

I AM A MALE AND I AGREE WITH YOU.
She was harrased and she got fired, why?
The station did not want to get involved in this case, so they kicked BOTH out, its cheaper and
easier.
SO WRONG FOR HER
