	"Mr Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work," the lawyer added.

Irish actor Colin Farrell has appealed to his country's government to support gay rights.
	The 'True Detective' star, in a letter published in Ireland's Sunday World, recalls how his older brother was bullied as a child for being different and calls the government out for making it impossible for him to marry in his homeland, reported People magazine.
	Farrell, 38, said the issue of gay rights is personal to him.
	"My brother Eamon didn't choose to be gay. Yes, he chose to wear eyeliner to school and that probably wasn't the most pragmatic response to the daily torture he experienced at the hands of school bullies. But he was always proud of who he was. Proud and defiant and, of course, provocative."
	"That's why this is personal to me. The fact that my brother had to leave Ireland to have his dream of being married become real is insane. Insane," he wrote.

Tahir Raj Bhasin is looking forward to playing the parallel lead opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui in 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' after his impressive debut in 'Mardaani'.
	The actor, who played the smooth talking antagonist Walt in the Yash Raj Films' drama about a cop trying to outwit a human trafficking kingpin, says he wants to continue doing roles that are different.
