Rob Reiner wasn't forgotten at this year's Golden Globe awards ... because host Nikki Glaser paid tribute to him just weeks after his murder.

Worth noting ... the Golden Globes do not typically air an in memoriam -- so this was the only time Reiner was mentioned at the show.

She quipped, "The award for Most Editing goes to CBS News! Yes, CBS News -- America's newest place to see B.S. news."

ICYMI ... Bari stirred up a lot of controversy by killing a "60 Minutes" segment hours before it was scheduled to air. The report focused on the treatment of Venezuelan deportees from the United States to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, but Bari told The Hollywood Reporter it "was not ready" to see the light of day.

Melissa Gilbert denounced child sex abuse weeks before her husband, Timothy Busfield, was charged in a criminal complaint accusing him of criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse.

Gilbert's condemnation of such activities came via a Nov. 15 Instagram post in which she reflected on a troubling fact about her days on "Little House on the Prairie."

Ewing first appeared on the hit CBS series as a character named Ben Lukens in 1965, according to his IMDb. He came back as handyman Thad in season 11. He was a regular on the show until 1967.

Actor/director Timothy Busfield says he's the real victim in his child sex abuse case, claiming an actress told him the criminal accusations are part of a revenge plot.

As you know, Busfield -- best known for his roles on "West Wing" and "Thirtysomething" -- was charged in a criminal complaint filed this week in New Mexico with abusing 2 underage boys who were working with him on a TV show.

Prosecutors accuse Busfield of inappropriately touching the boys while he was directing them on the set of "The Cleaning Lady" in 2022. At the time, prosecutors say, the child actors were 7 and 8, and their parents reported the alleged crimes to the Albuquerque police two years later.

However, she noted she's not opposed to testing the waters if it feels right, explaining ... "As of today, I am not [gay]. I don’t think I will be, but I’m not closing doors to experiences in life.”

Actor and director Timothy Busfield, famous for his work on "The West Wing" and "Thirtysomething," is being accused of pedophilia ... prosecutors in New Mexico allege he sexually abused underage boys who were child actors on a TV production set.

According to a criminal complaint filed Friday in New Mexico, obtained by TMZ, Busfield is charged with child abuse and two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor under the age of 13.

The charges stem from allegations that he sexually abused two boys on the set of "The Cleaning Lady."

According to the complaint, one of the boys told law enforcement Busfield touched him in his "private areas" while on set after a scene had ended ... when the kid was just 7 years old. Prosecutors say the boy alleged Busfield touched him inappropriately 5 or 6 times between takes ... and they also claim the boy alleged he was inappropriately touched by Busfield multiple times when he was 8 years old.
