21st Century Fox executive chairman Rupert Murdoch had a message for a reporter who asked if he was worried about the on-going sexual harassment claims at his cable news juggernaut: “There is nothing happening at Fox News.” BBC Media Editor Amol Rajan confronted Murdoch over British media regulator Ofcom’s investigation into whether of not Fox would be a “fit and proper” owner of United Kingdom pay TV giant Sky. Fox bid $14.4 billion for all of Sky, of which it already owns a 39 percent stake. But Attorney Lisa Bloom and Bill O’Reilly accuser Wendy Walsh want to make sure Ofcom is aware.

Two women who helped bring down Bill O’Reilly at Fox News are in London to state their case to British media regulator Ofcom as 21st Century Fox attempts to take over United Kingdom pay TV giant Sky. Fox bid $14.4 billion for all of Sky, of which it already owns a 39 percent stake, but Attorney Lisa Bloom and O’Reilly accuser Wendy Walsh want to make sure Ofcom is aware of the culture they believe existed at Fox News Channel, according to Reuters. Ofcom is investigating whether of not Fox would be a “fit and proper” owner of Sky. The deal was cleared.

Feminist attorney Lisa Bloom and Dr. Wendy Walsh, who was a guest no Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor, today called for an independent investigation into "the culture of sexual harassment" at Fox News Channel. "Apparently Fox News does not think the anti-discrimination laws apply to them," Bloom said at a packed press conference at her offices in Woodland Hills. "They believe they can just pay woman after woman to go away and keep harassers in place to victimize the…...

Radio host Dr. Wendy Walsh, who has accused Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment but is not one of the five women included in today’s bombshell Page One New York Times report, will hold a press conference tomorrow to address “new demands.” Walsh’s attorney Lisa Bloom tweeted the announcement (see it below) today, and told CNN’s Brian Stelter that she would call for an “independent investigation” into sexual harassment at Fox News. She said Walsh is not seeking…...

"But some of my best friends are [fill in the blank oppressed minority group]" has never, ever worked as an excuse during any kind of discussion on social issues such as race, class, sexuality, and the like and you'd think that someone appearing on national television would know that. Dr. Wendy Walsh is CNN's "Human Behavior Analyst" and you'd really think that she would know that, but during a heated discussion on live TV she pulled out the "multiracial family" card to back up her "in-depth knowledge" about the black experience. To make it worse, Walsh, who could not be any blonder or whiter, said this to CNN's Don Lemon and fellow guest Alicia Walters, both of whom are black.

Writing exclusively for Celebuzz, Wendy Walsh, Ph.D. — author of the forthcoming ‘The 30-Day Love Detox’ – argues Robert Pattinson can forgive and forget girlfriend Kristen Stewart‘s infidelity. The psychotherapist explains how. All seems calm in the Robert Pattinson household these days. Except that since Kristen Stewart’s highly publicized affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, there are actually two houses. It’s not...Read more»...

Chicago – Charlie Kaufman (“Adaptation,” “Being John Malkovich”) once wrote for a TV sitcom so odd that its network and most of the U.S. had no idea what to make of it. Without question, “Get a Life” was ahead of its time. So much of the twisted comedy of 2012 owes a debt to this true oddity from two decades ago, a unique gem that is finally getting a complete series release years after fans started clamoring for it.

Rating: 4.5/5.0

Was it worth the wait? First and foremost, the show is much funnier than I remembered. As the audio commentary points out (and there’s one on every episode), the series premiere of “Get a Life” was a relatively straightforward comedy about a man-child. It wasn’t nearly as dark and twisted as it would later become. Quickly, “Get a Life” turned more into a show about a demented loner and...

ABC’s General Hospital leads the way with 23 nominations for Daytime Emmy Awards.

The television academy announced Wednesday that the venerable soap opera will compete with NBC’s Days of Our Lives, CBS’ The Young and the Restless and the canceled All My Children of ABC for best daytime drama. NBC’s The Bold and the Beautiful has won the trophy three years in a row but wasn’t nominated this year.

Other repeat winners are possible, though: Ben Bailey of Cash Cab was nominated for best game show host and Dr. Mehmet Oz as best talk show host.

On Monday night, Showbiz Tonight anchor A.J. Hammer was joined by Wendy Walsh, co-host of The Doctors, to talk about Family Guy's latest episode, "Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q." The episode dealt with Quagmire's sister, Brenda, coming to town to help him recover from an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident and being constantly abused by her boyfriend, Jeff. "Like so many other people, I was just shocked by what I saw on Family Guy last night," Hammer said of the explicit beatings administered by Jeff, and the sad reaction of Brenda. "It was really just a depressing half hour of television."...

Celebuzz asked Dr. Wendy Walsh, noted psychologist, to weigh in the recent spate of pregnant celebrities – especially those who are not married. Dr. Walsh has a private psychotherapy practice in Los Angeles. Dr. Wendy Walsh: With the recent rash of celebrities like Natalie Portman, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Selma Blair, Owen Wilson’ girlfriend Jade Duell, and Jane Krakowski coming up preggers while still "out of wedlock," it prompts the question, "Is this just a side effect of Lala-Land or part of a real trend sweeping the nation?" The answer is this: Currently about 40% of American babies are born to...

Celebuzz asked Dr. Wendy Walsh, noted psychologist, to weigh in the news that David Arquette checked himself into rehab over the holiday weekend. Dr. Walsh has a private psychotherapy practice in Los Angeles. Dr. Wendy Walsh: News that David Arquette has checked into rehab for alcohol use related to depression following his much publicized break-up with actress Courteney Cox has people asking more questions about the nature of the Hollywood marriage. Remember, this is the dude who chose Howard Stern and his radio audience to vent about his sporadic sex life and his recent hook-up. Clearly, Arquette has some boundary issues. Facts...

Today was "Good Riddance Day" in Times Square, and cast members Andrew Call (L) and Omar Lopez-Cepero of Green Day's Broadway musical American Idiot prepare to discard a worthless relic.

Last week we mentioned that gay character Marcus would be returning to the UK soap Coronation Street, and now comes word that he and former boyfriend Sean will tie the knot this spring in the show's first civil partnership ceremony. I'm sorry for the hurt and pain that this Forbes writer went through when her fiance of 10 years told her he was gay, but I admit I had to suppress a chortle when I read this line: "This wasn’t a guy that was giving off signals. He wasn’t out ‘til 3 a.m. There weren’t any strange phone calls. I didn’t smell Axe body spray on him when he came home from work." Below you can...

Celebuzz asked Dr. Wendy Walsh, noted psychologist, to weigh in on the recent Miley controversy. Dr. Walsh has a private psychotherapy practice in Los Angeles. Dr. Wendy Walsh: Most people with a TV or Internet connection have now seen the video made by a fiendish friend of giggling, hallucinating teen star Miley Cyrus, on a drug trip. Sure Miley’s bong contained a legal hallucinogen (probably because the Fda hasn’t gotten around to that one yet) and yes, Miley just turned 18, the legal age to make decisions for yourself, and yes, she’s finished her stint as Disney princess, Hannah Montana. But…but….But…. We should...

Dr. Wendy Walsh: When American pop star Lady Gaga divulged to CNN's Larry King and his millions of viewers that she has "borderline lupus," I scratched my head. I watched my own mother battle the disease for most of her life until her death from breast cancer, and I myself have what's known as a positive Ana (antinuclear antibody test), meaning that I carry the gene.

So what about Gaga? Does she have lupus, or not? Is there even such a thing as "borderline lupus"? Well, the nature of lupus is such that it is darned hard to diagnose, and doctors depend on a battery of tests (combined with symptomology reports) to make a complete diagnosis. Gaga could have tested positive for some things and not others, which means that technically speaking, she does not have lupus.

The autoimmune disease "systemic lupus erythematosus" (yes, I could rattle that off...

To feel the pain of an affair is bad enough, but combine that with the media stalking your every move and splashing it across every magazine in America ...!

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Any wife who has been cheated on knows the visceral effect of embarrassment in her social circle. The gossips on the periphery of her every move sing muffled chants about her role in the affair or why she bothers to stay in the marriage. But when that everyday wife appears in person, the tongues quiet and public smiles replace the wagging tongues.

A famous wife knows an entirely different kind of public embarrassment. She looks no further than her supermarket aisles, the local radio or the national news for the openly wagging tongues. Our hearts bleed for Sandra Bullock, Elizabeth Edwards and Elin Woods -- and so we moralize, we bemuse and we give advice as if these women were our own sisters.

C'mon, Sandra: You didn't think that your man would repeat past behavior?!

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Back in 2003, when glamorous Hollywood leading lady Sandra Bullock first laid eyes on Jesse James, a tattoo-covered motorcycle enthusiast, the rest of the world collectively raised their eyebrows. But Sandra was apparently in love's delusional la-la land, telling people that there are churchgoing family men who fool around on their wives, so appearances can be deceiving.

In the case of Jesse James, though, appearances seem to have been accurate. When Sandra met him, he was already on his second marriage -- this one to a porn star who would go to jail for tax evasion. He had two kids with the first wife and another child on the way when he shifted his focus from his pregnant second wife to the bigger prize: Sandra Bullock. Then, five years after they married, a sexy tattoo...

Andrew Koenig's grief-stricken parents made a heartwrenching plea for people to extend a hand to family members and friends who may be suffering from depression. Do you know the signs?

Watch CBS News Videos Online

The body of Koenig -- who played "Boner" on the '80s sitcom "Growing Pains" -- was found in Stanley Park in Vancouver on Thursday, after he had been missing for a week. His family said he had been suffering from severe depression, and in the last few days of his life it was clear he was in distress.

According to the World Health Organization:

• Depression is the second most common childhood mental-health problem.

• One in 33 kids is depressed.

• The number of kids diagnosed with the disorder could double by the year 2020.

Scary, huh?

Many parents don't seek help because they fear their kids will be stamped with the "mentally ill" label, while other...

I think men can learn a lot from Tiger today.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: I'm weeping as I type this. I am a chick after all. Having just watched Tiger Woods emotional apology to his friends, family, employees, business partners, and foundation beneficiaries, I am simply moved. I am also confused. I am wondering why an athlete in Florida whom I have never met nor seen in public can cause me, a single mother in Los Angeles, to have such a blubbering event.

And the answer is simple. There are few women in America who do not long to hear such words of contrition and kindness from a man, and Tiger is as likely a surrogate for healing as anyone. At some point in their lives, most women have been deeply injured by some man's selfishness -- whether it was infidelity, or violence, or stingy child support. And here is...

Here's the latest juice on the (in)famous golfer.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: The latest reports on the Tiger Woods saga/drama are that wife, Elin, has just returned from visiting with her share-the-wealth hubby in sex rehab. And now she has decided Not to file for divorce. While America is screaming, "Take The Money, Elin!," I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate her. It is a brave woman who attempts to save her marriage and her family in this situation. Not only were his transgressions particularly damaging and hurtful, but she also has enormous cultural pressure to leave. We now seem to live in a culture that prefers quick, profitable divorces over the bittersweet emotional work of salvaging a marriage. Somehow, a virtuous few think the only sane route for her is to pack up and cash the check.

But before you think I am the...

If you knew you only had one day to live, what would be on your mind?

Dr. Wendy Walsh: We all have bad days. But when that bad day involves suicidal thoughts, psychologists prefer to label it clinical depression. That was exactly what happened to CNN and "Inside Edition" anchor, Jim Moret. Like many of us during the recession, he faced some days of career crisis, financial stress, and personal relationship anxiety that, when bundled together, propelled him to review his own life-insurance policy and determine that he was worth more dead than alive.

The Last Day of My Life begins with that chilling anecdote and then proceeds through a course of review of one life. Jim's story is one of relationships: a child used as a pawn in a Hollywood divorce battle, the loss as a boy of two best friends, and finally, it meanders into human triumph...

Tiger, you were made famous by the public. Why do you think it's your right to hide from them? Dr. Wendy Walsh asked this question, and our readers weighed in with some surprising answers.

It's funny this was posted when it was. My coworker and I just got finished arguing about this. She thinks he deserves privacy? Me, not so much! -- Anonymous

The world would not know who Tiger Woods is if he were not a Great, if not the Greatest golfer of our time! You stand to be corrected there, Dr. Also, you seem to have an issue with him. Yes, he is dead wrong for his adulterous behavior, but even God forgives. Who are you to cast the stone? Jesus said, "He who is without sin, cast the first stone." Are you without sin Dr.? We need to pray for him and his wife and children, not cast self-righteous,...

Tiger Woods. It's the relationship story that won't die. The latest: He's taking a break from golf.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Part of the public's fascination with Tiger Woods' personal drama is voyeurism. Nothing more than a titillating peak behind the curtain of a rich and celebrated life. But the other reason we are so polarized about Tiger --- the athlete, the role model, or the husband -- is because he is a famous (and extreme) example of the "no rules relationship revolution" that everyone is experiencing. Today's relationship landscape is a place where hook ups have replaced dating and big white weddings walk side-by-side with staggering divorce rates. It's a place where cougars stalk and divorced men scratch their heads and wonder what went wrong. And "free sex" is the oxymoron that rules. The by product: Every year, 40 percent of American children are born out of wedlock. Children...

Tiger, you were made famous by the public. Why do you think it's your right to hide from them?

Dr. Wendy Walsh: A growing number of women have been coming out of the woodwork with stories of mega-athlete Tiger Woods' marital indiscretions, and the media has been having a field day speculating about his infidelities -- and the true cause of his injuries sustained on Thanksgiving night. But is this fair? Do couples having problems always deserve privacy? Well, most do, but not when the couple contains a man like Tiger Woods. Here's why:

Tiger Woods is not rich and famous because he is a good golfer. Tiger is famous because the public paid money to attend his tourneys and tuned in to watch him on television (along with many targeted commercials). He is rich because consumers doled out hard-earned income to purchase products that he endorses --...

TV mom Meredith Baxter has come out and revealed she is a lesbian, saying it was a "later in life recognition." Could the same thing happen with you?

Dr. Wendy Walsh: I know. To some of you, this sounds like a version of the old joke ... "If any of my supportive gal pals grew a certain appendage, I'd give up on men and marry her in an instant."

But today, we are in an era where our cultural taboo against bisexual behavior seems to be lifting for women. In addition to the announcement by Meredith Baxter, Black Eyed Peas' singer Fergie recently said that she is bisexual. Fergie joins other celebrities including P!nk, Lady Gaga, and Megan Fox in coming out as "bi." This public openness about bisexuality may have started with the high-profile breakup of Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche, after which Anne Heche resumed dating men.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Two days. That's when "New Moon," the second movie in the "Twilight" series, comes out. I know this fact because I have heard my 11-year-old daughter say it today over and over again. I think she has given me a "New Moon" update today the same number of times as the average number of pages in a "Twilight" book. That's 611, for you novices.

When the "Twilight" craze first descended on my home, I was delighted that such literary tomes sat at the bedside of my fifth grader. There are 2,446 pages in the four-book series, and she devoured the first book in three days. Then we rented the movie and watched it together.

Having been warned by a few moms in the village, I was prepared to find many "teaching moments" in the screening. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was entertaining for both of us. It...

At 8:30 Am on August 30, Tammy Gollinger's phone rang. It was the phone call every soldier's mother dreads.

Dr. Wendy Walsh: There had been a bomb attack on a humvee in Iraq that was being driven by her 20-year-old son, Private Randy Gollinger. The humvee was destroyed. The only thing the government employee was able to tell her was that her son was alive -- but barely.

"My immediate thought was, 'I have to get to him. I need to be there!'"

But as the days progressed, the impossibility of her urges sunk in, and her anxiety got worse. "I got so many calls from so many different bureaucrats, giving me all kinds of conflicting reports, we had no idea how severe his injuries were until a week later" -- and no word from Randy himself because he was mostly unconscious.

Then he was transferred to a hospital in Germany,...

First Lady of California Maria Shriver is known for her activism. Now she's releasing a study that shows, for the first time, American women really are bringing home the bacon.

The comprehensive national study, called The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything, is set for release October 16. In a preview, the findings are astonishing. The report says, "For the first time in our nation's history, one-half of all U.S. workers are women, and mothers are the primary breadwinners or co-breadwinners in two-thirds of American families."

According to a post on this year's Women's Conference website, this report focused on how "women can turn their pivotal role as wage-earners, as consumers, as bosses, as opinion-shapers, as co-equal partners in whatever we do into a potent force for change," adding "economic power gives women a new seat at the table -- at the head of the table."

After the report is released,...

Five years after Wrong Turn, actress Eliza Dushku reteams with director Rob Schmidt in The Alphabet Killer, which is based on a true story. Today it was revealed that Anchor Bay Entertainment has acquired the thriller for a limited theatrical release this December before arriving on DVD next year. When police investigator Megan Paige (Eliza Dushku) becomes obsessed with the brutal murder of a young girl named Carla Castillo in the town of Churchville, her failure to catch the killer leads to a nervous breakdown. Two years later she emerges as a shadow of her former self. When the killer strikes Wendy Walsh from Webster, Megan is back on the case, determined to bring the culprit to justice.
