In August of 2003, Brian Peck was arrested for 11 charges of allegedly sexually abusing an unnamed child on a Nickelodeon show. Then, in May 2004, he pled no contest to those charges. And finally, in October, he was sentenced to 16 months in prison, and he had to register as a sex offender.
For 20 years, we didn’t know who that child actor was. But today, we found out. And it is Drake Bell.
Bell will be breaking his silence in the four-part documentary Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV on Investigation Discovery. For the first time, the star of Drake and Josh will be talking about the abuse he said he suffered on the set by Peck.
This is not the only story that will be coming out about the Nick shows we grew up with in the ’90s and ’00s. Other actors, their parents, and crew members from shows like All That, The Amanda Show, Zoey 101, iCarly, Sam & Cat, and Victorious, will also be sharing stories of their experiences.
The doc will air on ID on March 17th and 18th, and it is definitely going to be an eye-opening two-night event.
Rita Moreno has famously dated Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley, so who does she have the fever for now?
She told Sherri Shepherd on her show today that Brad Pitt does it for the legendary actress. But he is not the only one. And the other guy is really shocking.
That is because it is Quentin Tarantino. Why him? The EGOT winner explained, “One for lovin’ and one for talking about movies!”
Taylor Swift is a modern-day poet who puts her poetry to music. And it turns out she is not the only poet in her family.
Ancestry.com found she and Emily Dickinson are sixth cousins, three times removed.
Ancestry.com told Today, “Swift and Dickinson both descend from a 17th-century English immigrant (Swift’s 9th great-grandfather and Dickinson’s 6th great-grandfather who was an early settler of Windsor, Connecticut).”
And now we know where Swift got her writing skills from, it is from her 9th great-grandfather.
However, we don’t know if Swift knows that she is related to the legendary poet. But she has referenced Dickinson many times throughout her career. Maybe it was Dickinson reaching out to her cousin from the great beyond.
