Erin Andrews Claims Nude Voyeur Video Wasn't Staged

It's been an action-packed summer for ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. First she was hit in the face with a line drive foul ball hit by New York Mets player Alex Cora, and just days later nude video footage surfaced online. The video footage was shot from a voyeur angle, and at the time of its release many claimed that it was a publicity stunt that she staged. During an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show on Friday, however, Andrews denies that it was staged.
In fact, Erin says that she "would never do this to myself" and that she feels re-violated when people accuse her of staging the scandal. Andrews, 31, also said that the video clips were shot by a peeping tom on at least two different occasions in hotel rooms.
She said:
"I am the victim of a stalker because we know that this happened in at least two rooms. I was getting ready to go work a college football game in at least one of the videos I was able to identify."
Andrews said that she learned of the videos from a friend.
She recalled:
"'You need to check this out. People are saying this is you on the Internet naked,' " Andrews recalled..'

Melrose Place: A Favorite 90's Guilty Pleasure Re-Made for a New Generation

A decade after the original series went off the air, a new generation of TV viewers will get the chance to experience the indulgence that is Melrose Place as the remake kicks-off its inaugural season tonight. A few familiar faces will be returning to the show, which will give it some continuity, but the series does face a major challenge: can it live up to the 90's original?
The series will undoubtedly capture a large portion of the younger audience that the CW targets, but if it can also draw in older Melrose Place fans, it'll be a surefire winner and the network will be ordering up another season before the first one ends.
A lot of the first episode, which airs tonight at 9pm ET/8pm CT, introduces the new cast and sets up the series' first mystery. Just like the original, the show also features contemporary music and pop culture references that are relevant to today. Add that in with the modern day fashions, and one day, just the first Melrose Place, it will look dated when watched years later. Another feature of the show that is copied again in the remake is characters that are interesting without being too deep. Afte rall, we watch them for what they do - their conniving behavior, sleeping with eachother, the backstabbing, and so on.

Glenn Beck Calls Obama a Racist, Advertisers Pull Spots From His Show
Last month, Barack Obama involved himself in situation that should have never warranted commentary by the President of the United States. He commented that the police acted "stupidly" when they arrested Henry Louis Gates Jr. a black man and Harvard University scholar. This remark by Obama made the incident a national issue, and many question why he even involved himself in it, including Glenn Beck, a commentator on Fox News. Last month Beck called President Obama a racist and said that he is a "person with a "deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture", and now advertisers are pulling spots from his show.
About a dozen companies have withdrawn their commercials from "Glenn Beck", his show on the Fox News Channel. Following Beck's comment that he believes Obama is racist, a political group began contacting his advertisers.
Amongst those companies that have moved their adds out of Beck's time slot are Geico, Procter & Gamble, ConAgra, and Progressive. Earlier this week, ConAgra issued a statement indicating that they are "firmly committed to diversity, and we would like to prevent the potential perception that advertising during this program was an endorsement of the viewpoints shared."
