L.A. prosecutors will not be charging Bill Cosby for allegedly molesting a 15-year-old girl at the Playboy mansion in 1974, the L.A. Times reports. After looking into the claims, authorities said Tuesday that any potential sex crime from that time falls well outside the statute of limitations.

Dov Charney is out again at American Apparel. The clothing company announced on Tuesday that the skeevy former CEO was fired "for cause" from his role as a consultant, a position he's held since July.

Rumors of Mariah Carey's demise have been greatly exaggerated, she proved last night during the first of six sold-out, Christmas-themed concerts at New York's Beacon Theater.

More unpleasantness ensued. Here, for posterity, is that lost column.
