Actress Mackenzie Phillips says producers forced her off the set of the hit CBS sitcom "One Day at a Time" after she refused an on-the-spot drug test, a test she admits she would have failed. Phillips, now 66, laid out the account at a recent panel appearance at Fanboy Expo in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she told fans that her contract included a morals clause with teeth sharper than the standard version. Every cast member signed a morals agreement, she said, but hers carried a specific provision: if producers suspected she was under the influence, they could haul her to a doctor for a urinalysis on the spot. That provision came due during a lunch break. Phillips told the panel she had fallen asleep on a couch on set when co-executive…Open

Tom Selleck is making clear he has not forgiven CBS for cancelling "Blue Bloods", and his latest disclosure about a 25% cast pay cut undercuts any network claim that the show's talent priced itself out of a renewal. Selleck, 81, appeared on Ted Danson's podcast "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" this week and laid out what the cast did to try to save the long-running CBS police drama. The entire ensemble agreed to slash their salaries by a quarter, he said, and every principal actor was prepared to return for another season. CBS cancelled the show anyway. The revelation adds a concrete dollar figure to a grievance Selleck has aired repeatedly since the network announced the cancellation in 2023. A cast that took a significant financial…Open

Rosie O'Donnell accused CBS of paying a "bribe" to President Trump by settling his "60 Minutes" lawsuit for $16 million, and claimed the country no longer has an independent press. O'Donnell made the comments Monday on "Bleep! with Ana Navarro," the podcast hosted by "The View" co-host Ana Navarro. The liberal comedian said CBS had "capitulated" to the president and called the settlement "unforgivable," echoing language used by former CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert before his show was cancelled. Paramount Global and CBS settled Trump's lawsuit in July 2025 for $16 million. The deal covered legal costs and included a contribution to Trump's future presidential library or charitable causes. It contained no apology and no admission of…Open
