<p>More trouble for US actor Bill Cosby as five women filed a lawsuit against the comedian. This comes as New York state law temporarily suspends the statute of limitations for older sexual assault claims.</p>

<p>According to the women, Bill Cosby raped them or forced them into sexual acts.</p>

<p>Four allegations date from the late 1980s or 1990, when the actor was at the height of his fame as the star of ‘The Cosby Show’ on NBC. Meanwhile, the fifth allegation is levied by Cindra Ladd, a former Hollywood executive who has accused Bill Cosby of raping her in 1969.</p>

<p>Among the first four women is Lili Bernard, an actress who guest-starred on ‘The Cosby Show’. She was the first person to have come forward with the sexual assault allegation alongwith Gloria Allred in 2015. It was in 2021 when Lili filed a separate suit against the comedian.</p>

<p>Bernard, Ladd, Eden Tirl, Jewel Gittens, and Jennifer Thompson filed the New York lawsuit under the Adult Survivors Act, which opens a one-year “lookback window” for accusers to file civil claims of sexual assault.</p>

<p>Bill Cosby’s spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, called the lawsuit “frivolous” and said the five women were part of a “parade of accusers”. Andrew added, “As we have always stated, and now America can see, this isn’t about justice for victims of alleged sexual assault, it’s ALL ABOUT MONEY. We believe that the courts, as well as the court of public opinion, will follow the rules of law and relieve Mr. Cosby of these alleged accusations. Mr. Cosby continues to vehemently deny all allegations waged against him and looks forward to defending himself in court.”</p>

<p>Bill Cosby, 85, was convicted in April 2018 of a criminal sex assault charge. In 2021, he was released after spending close to three years in prison after the conviction was overturned by the state Supreme Court.</p>

<p>Lizzo looked truly magnificent as she walked up the stage of 2022 People’s Choice Awards and received the biggest nod of the night – People’s Championship award. She was awarded the title for the year by her mother, making it even sweeter for the songstress.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lizzo’s mother Shari Johnson-Jefferson took the stage and introduced Lizzo with “When I think of Lizzo the word champion comes to mind. She’s a champion of others, she builds you up and she’s always in your corner. I should know because I’m her mother. Melissa has always been herself, 100% that chic and she has shown us all that we don’t have to conform to anyone’s standards in order to be happy, to be creative and to feel worthy. I know that Lizzo has literally saved lives. No one is more deserving of this honor and I’m so proud of her.”</p>

<p>Lizzo took the spotlight when she pranced on the stage with activists as she said that they deserved the spotlight for the work they are doing in their respective fields. She said initially she was “on the fence about accepting” the honour “because if I’m the people’s champ, I don’t need a trophy for championing people.”</p>

‘Mandalorian’ season 3 has officially announced its release date. The ‘Star Wars’ series will debut on March 1 on Disney+ Hotstar. The third season will take place following the events of ‘The Book of Boba Fett,’ in which Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) was last seen reuniting with Grogu in the miniseries. The two then left Tatooine, with Mando heading to the planet Mandalore to restore his honour and become a Mandalorian again. In a teaser released in September, Mando faces off against several armoured warriors in their homeworld. Mandalorian season 3 will see Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, and Katee Sackhoff returning. Christopher Lloyd is also confirmed to make a cameo this season. ‘The Mandalorian’ was created by Jon Favreau, who serves as a writer and executive producer this season.

'Mandalorian’ Season 3 to release on this date on Disney+Hotstar

<p>It’s not everyday you see Kartik Aaryan take up the role of a regular dentist in a twisted, dark psychological thriller as he plays the titular role in Shashanka Ghosh’s ‘Freddy’. A loner in life with only a pet tortoise named Hardy as his friend, Kartik’s Freddy is someone you’d want to empathise with but can’t bring yourself to.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Waiting for his soulmate and his luck to turn in his favour, Freddy meets girls only to be rejected for his somewhat weird, nerd-guy-meets-creep behaviour. And then comes Alaya F’s character, Kainaaz Irani – a whiff of fresh air in his life – smart, beautiful and incidentally sharing similar passions like his late mother alas for one thing. She turns out to be married. Freddy deals with that problem too but he still fails to get his happily ever after. That’s when things take a sour turn in his life and in the film too. Freddy exacts a revenge plot to get back at Alaya who uses him in the film to get to her abusive husband.</p>

<p>The first half of the film establishes Freddy, his character, the nuances, why he does what he does and you almost feel bad for him only to be surprised by how his character’s arc develops in the later half. The film starts off with a good script in hand, well placed dialogues, sombre music to support the screenplay but lacks direction and vision.</p>

<p>The film doesn’t offer a sense of urgency that the genre demands. It lacks the impending sense of danger, the drama that a psycho on the loose should derive in the minds of the audience. But Freddy is not a psycho, he’s just hurt and he only wants an apology from Kainaaz who fails to take his warnings seriously when she doesn’t offer him one.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kartik Aaryan manages to imbibe the grace and mannerism of Freddy but the film&nbsp;lacks conviction. Alaya too is good in the film but maybe the ambiguity in the script lets the actors down.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It’s a one-time watch and a good film to start your weekend off with but nothing more.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Freddy’ released on Disney+ Hotstar on December 3. It’s currently streaming on OTT.&nbsp;<br />
