Ted Danson , Kelsey Grammer , and Rhea Perlman are remembering their Cheers co-star Kirstie Alley following her death on Monday from cancer. Also paying tribute to Alley is longtime Cheers director/executive producer James Burrows. “I was on a plane today and did something I rarely do. I watched an old episode of Cheers ,” Danson who played Sam Malone, said in a statement to Deadline. “It was the episode where Tom Berenger proposes to Kirstie, who keeps saying no, even though she desperately wants to say yes. Kirstie was truly brilliant in it. Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown was both moving and hysterically funny. She made me laugh 30 years ago when she shot that scene, and she made me laugh today just as hard. As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died. I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh. I send my love to her children. As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold. I will miss her.” … [Read more...] about ‘Cheers’ Stars Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer & Rhea Perlman, Director James Burrows Mourn Kirstie Alley

Brendan Fraser claims he was groped in 2003 by Philip Berk , then president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association , an experience Fraser says left him depressed and miserable. The allegation comes in a current GQ profile of Fraser titled “What Ever Happened to Brendan Fraser?” Berk tells the magazine that Fraser’s version is “total fabrication.” In Berk’s memoir, he recounts the incident, in which he placed his hand on Fraser’s butt during a hug, as a jest. Here is how Fraser describes the incident, which occurred at the Beverly Hills Hotel during an HFPA luncheon, to GQ:  “His left hand reaches around, grabs my ass cheek, and one of his fingers touches me in the taint. And he starts moving it around. I felt ill. I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat.
