Bill Cosby Sex Offender Rehab Depends on Danger Level
As Bill Cosby settles into life behind bars, the convicted comedian will undergo a rigorous evaluation to determine the extent of his sex offender treatment ... and it all hinges on how much of a danger he poses.
Cosby will go through a program called Responsible Living: A Sex Offender Treatment Program ... something all sex offenders must complete as part of their sentence.
There are seven phases ...
-- Phase 1: Responsibility Taking
-- Phase 2: Behavioral Techniques
-- Phase 3: Emotional Well-Being
-- Phase 4: Victim Empathy
-- Phase 5: Anger Management
-- Phase 6: Sex Education
-- Phase 7: Relapse Prevention
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Cosby will go through an evaluation process to determine what category of risk he falls in and what sort of treatment is deemed fit in the state sex offender program.
If he falls into a moderate-high or a high-risk category, he'll have to complete all 7 phases of the sex offender program. If he falls into a low or low-moderate risk category, he's just required to knock out Responsibility Taking, Sex Education and Relapse Prevention.

Kevin Spacey Sued He Forced Me to Grab His Groin
Kevin Spacey is getting sued by a masseur who claims the actor forced a rubdown of his testicles and attempted to kiss him ... TMZ has learned.
The masseur, filing as John Doe, says he was called by a third party to go meet Spacey at a home in Malibu in October 2016. According to the docs, Spacey led the man to a room where he set up his massage table.
Doe says he told Spacey to lay face down on the table, but he insisted on laying face up. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Doe says Spacey told him he was having pain in his "groin area" ... and then proceeded to grab the masseur's hand and push it onto his testicles.
Doe says he pulled away, and Spacey stood up naked ... then moved toward him and said, "you have such beautiful eyes." Doe believed the actor was trying to kiss him. The masseur says he continued to back away, but Spacey grabbed his genitals and said something to the effect of ... just let me give you a blow job.
The man says he grabbed his massage table and fled the residence. He's suing Spacey for sexual battery, battery, assault and false imprisonment.
The actor is already being investigated for multiple alleged acts of sexual misconduct -- in the U.S and in England. He has not been charged.

Nelly has mutually settled with the woman who claimed he raped her on a tour bus ... TMZ has learned.
The woman, Monique Greene, claimed last October she was at a club in Seattle where Nelly had performed. She says after the show she was drinking and hanging out with Nelly, who invited her on his tour bus.
She claims once on the bus he assaulted her and had both oral and vaginal sex against her will.
Afterward, Greene says she screamed she wanted off the bus and she was thrown off as Nelly threw a $100 bill at her and said, "Bye Bye."
Nelly countersued, claiming the sex was consensual and she defamed him.
We broke the story ... Nelly was arrested for rape while on tour with Florida Georgia Line. Prosecutors dropped the case after Greene refused to cooperate.
A lawyer for Nelly says both parties agreed to dismiss their cases and no money changed hands.
Karen Koehler, attorney for Monique, tells us it is true both parties dismissed their cases -- however she disputes Nelly's lawyer's statement that no money changed hands.

Brett Kavanaugh 3rd Accuser Alleges Gang Rape At H.S. Party He Attended
Brett Kavanaugh is facing new allegations of sexual misconduct from a woman claiming he and his friends spiked punch at parties in order to assault women -- and says she was gang raped at one of them.
Julie Swetnick claims she attended high school parties in the early '80s where Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, were present and engaged in highly inappropriate conduct -- including fondling and grabbing girls without their consent.
In a sworn affidavit she says she witnessed their efforts to "cause girls to become inebriated" at these parties by spiking the punch with drugs or grain alcohol so they would lose their inhibitions and their ability to say, "No" ... so the girls could be "gang raped."
She says -- in the doc released by her attorney, Michael Avenatti -- she has a "firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their 'turn' with a girl inside the room. These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh."
Swetnick claims she too was drugged and became the “victim of one of these ‘gang’ or ‘train’ rapes" at a 1982 party in the D.C. area ... where both Kavanaugh and Judge were present.
Avenatti is demanding an immediate FBI investigation into the allegations.
Swetnick's claims come on the heels of allegations made by Deborah Ramirez earlier this week. She claims Kavanaugh put his exposed penis in her face at a dorm party during their freshman year at Yale sometime between 1983 and '84.
And of course, both sets of allegations come just before Thursday's scheduled hearing in D.C. in which Kavanaugh's set to face off against Christine Blasey Ford ... who first accused him of sexual assault in high school.
Kavanaugh has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct, even using the virgin defense. As for this allegation, he stated, "This is ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone. I don't know who this is and this never happened."

Bill Cosby 1st Meal in Jail Includes Pudding ... Yes, Seriously

Sources at Montgomery County Correctional Facility -- where Cosby is being held before he eventually gets transferred to prison -- tell us inmates will be eating good Tuesday night with a nice helping of a chicken patty with gravy, mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, iced tea mix ... and, of course, vanilla pudding for dessert.
No official word on the brand of pudding ... but hopefully it's Jell-O. That'd be poetic justice, wouldn't it?
As we reported ... Cosby was sentenced to three to ten years in a Pennsylvania state prison Tuesday after being convicted on three counts of aggravated assault earlier this year. He was remanded and locked up immediately after the sentencing.

Bill Cosby Hollywood Walk Star Will Stay After Sexual Assault Sentencing
Bill Cosby is going away, but his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't going anywhere ... TMZ has learned.
Cosby was sentenced Tuesday to 3 to 10 years in state prison. The comedian was also deemed a "sexually violent predator," meaning he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
We reached out to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce regarding the status of Cosby's star on the Walk of Fame, and a rep for the organization says it'll stay put.
The rep explained, "Once installed, the stars become part of the historic fabric of the Walk of Fame, a 'designated historic cultural landmark,' and are intended to be permanent. The stars only commemorate the recipient’s professional accomplishments."
The statement continues, "It is regrettable when the personal lives of inductees do not measure up to public standards and expectations; however, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce does not remove stars from the Walk of Fame."
Cosby's star was recently vandalized with the words, "Serial Rapist," but the graffiti was quickly removed.

Aziz Ansari Performs at Same Club That Invited Louis C.K.
The NYC comedy club where Louis C.K. did one of his "comeback" sets last month showcased another comedian who was in the crosshairs of the #MeToo movement ... Aziz Ansari.
Aziz was one of three surprise guests Sunday at the Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village, where he, along with Amy Schumer and Jeff Ross, each did 20-25 minutes of stand-up. Aziz did not address his own #MeToo allegation, but was received well nonetheless.
Someone who apparently did even better than Aziz ... Ms. Schumer. Her set killed ... we're sure Jeff did just fine too.
As we reported ... this is the second place Louis crashed at the end of August in his return to stand-up. He stopped off at a club in Long Island before hitting the city, where photos caught him checking his phone during the gig.
Other comedy clubs in the area told us they'd welcome Louis with open arms ... but some people, including fellow comics, aren't so ready to have him back in the spotlight after he admitted to sexual misconduct.
It's interesting ... clearly, the Comedy Cellar isn't shying away from any comic, regardless of controversy ... and neither are Amy or Jeff.

Brett Kavanaugh I Was a Virgin for a Looong Time ... No Way I Sexually Assaulted Anyone
Brett Kavanaugh just played his virgin card to defend himself against multiple accusations of sexual assault ... saying he never had sex -- or anything close to it -- through his high school years and many years after.
In a clip from Kavanaugh's Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum, Kavanaugh, which is set to air later Monday night, he says, "I've never sexually assaulted anyone. I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school."
MacCallum pressed the contentious Supreme Court nominee more, asking if he was a virgin through all the years in question -- when the assaults allegedly happened? Brett responded, "Yes."
The problem with his virgin defense is none of Kavanaugh's accusers are claiming he forced intercourse.
Christine Blasey Ford -- the first of multiple women to bring accusations against Kavanaugh -- will testify Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Bill Cosby Leaves Court ... Sentencing Delayed to Tuesday
12:35 PM PT -- Cosby's sentencing WILL be pushed back to Tuesday. Before the judge announced the delay, prosecutors requested Cosby get 5 to 10 years in prison -- while the defense asked for house arrest.
Prosecutors are strongly opposed to 81-year-old Cosby being placed under house arrest. They pointed out the fact Cosby's wife threw a birthday party for him back in July, complete with a live 5-piece jazz band that started jamming at 7 AM ... according to neighbors.
Point being ... where's the punishment in that?
A defense witness is expected to testify on Tuesday ahead of the judge's decision on his sentencing.
9:50 AM PT -- There's a big debate in court over Cosby being deemed a "violent sexual predator." His attorneys are challenging that label and want a doctor to testify on his behalf, but that might mean delaying sentencing until tomorrow.
The judge isn't happy about it, reportedly, but has yet to rule.
Bill Cosby has just arrived at the Norristown courthouse where he will be sentenced in his sexual assault case ... and he was greeted by angry screams.
Cosby got out of his car as a protester yelled, "We believe the women!" and "Me too!" Still, Cosby was smiling as he walked into the courthouse, and even gave a small wave while one person shouted encouragement to the disgraced comedian. His wife of over 50 years, Camille, was noticeably absent.
Cosby was released on $1 million bail and ordered to remain in his home until sentencing. The 81-year-old is facing a maximum of 10 years in prison for each charge, but could receive nothing more than probation.
As we reported ... Bill was found guilty on all 3 counts of aggravated indecent assault. The jury -- of 7 men and 5 women -- deliberated for a full day before convicting Cosby of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004 at his home.
The trial lasted 13 days and it included arguments and testimony from Constand and 5 other women who claim they were also drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby, whose June 2017 trial ended in a mistrial because the jury at the time had 2 not guilty holdouts.
TMZ broke the story ... Cosby, who is blind, could get special treatment in prison because of his special needs. He could also get aid from one or more of the Dept. of Corrections' 500 trained peer support specialists, who serve as guides during the tough acclimation to prison life.
But, not everyone wants to see him easily acclimate in prison.

Sources tell us that Kanye and Nick squashed their beef this weekend after Nick responded to Ye on Instagram, basically telling him to not try and censor what he can or can't say in interviews.

Asia Argento Anger's All That Kept Me Alive After Bourdain's Suicide
Asia Argento is breaking her silence on Anthony Bourdain's suicide … saying his death left a hole that can’t be filled, and anger was the only thing that kept her from taking her own life.
Tears streamed down Asia's face as she revealed her initial reaction to her boyfriend's death was anger. Anger because she felt he was "abandoning me, my kids."
Asia also told DailyMailTV -- in her first interview since Bourdain’s death -- her anger has now been replaced by an emotional hole that cannot be filled by anything.
Interestingly, Asia's initial interview -- which airs Monday and Tuesday -- comes just as CNN begins running the final 5 episodes of Anthony's hit show, 'Parts Unknown.'
What she says is also interesting because she had posted a cryptic message in the hours before Bourdain was found dead in a French hotel room. She was wearing a shirt that said, “F**K EVERYONE” and included the caption ... "You know who you are."
Asia's IG post led to speculation she got into an argument with Bourdain right before his suicide ... and there are rumors something happened that cut him to the core.
What we didn't know then is that Anthony paid $380,000 to Asia’s sexual assault accuser, Jimmy Bennett. One theory is that payment exacerbated an argument with Asia.

Asia Argento Accuser Jimmy Bennett Challenged Over Ejaculation
Jimmy Bennett walked right into a buzz saw when he sat down for an interview on Italian television ... getting skewered by the host over his claim he was sexually assaulted by Asia Argento ... and the central issue was ejaculation.
Jimmy was straight-up asked if he ejaculated during his sexual encounter with Asia, and the audience moaned when he answered yes ... suggesting someone who ejaculates must have enjoyed it, so it couldn't be rape.
The age of consent for sex in Italy is 14 ... and Jimmy was 17 when he had sex with Asia in a Marina del Rey, CA hotel room.
Just because Jimmy ejaculated doesn't mean Asia didn't take advantage of a minor. It's a crime in California for an adult to have sex with a person under 18 ... and Asia was 37 at the time.
Jimmy went on to describe his sexual encounter with Asia ... and the host said, "It's difficult to believe a woman can rape a man, an act of sex that is complete cannot be rape."
Jimmy was asked about the photo he took with Asia after they had sex. The interviewer says the pic looked like he enjoyed himself ... again missing the point about United States laws.
About halfway through the hour-long interview, Jimmy realized what he had gotten himself into ... saying he was worried about speaking in front of an audience and wishing he had stayed publicly silent.
