Jeremy Piven Innocent Until Proven Guilty ... Anyone 'Memba That?

Jeremy Piven wants Hollywood to remember one thing amid the flood of sexual misconduct allegations against himself and others: Innocent until proven guilty.

Piven says, "We seem to be entering dark times -- allegations are being printed as facts and lives are being put in jeopardy without a hearing, due process or evidence." Last month, a woman claimed Piven had groped and sexually harassed her on the "Entourage" set. Two other women have also come forward with accusations against him.

Now, Jeremy says he's willing to take a lie detector test to prove his innocence, and adds he -- and perhaps Kevin Spacey, Harvey Weinstein and Louis C.K. -- deserve "the benefit of a doubt before we rush to judgment."

Spacey's already been axed from the feature film, "All the Money in the World," "House of Cards" and Netflix, in general. Weinstein's been banished from multiple Hollywood organizations.

Piven ended his plea on Twitter, saying, "Continuing to tear each other down and destroy careers based on mere allegations is not productive on any level."

Sen. Chuck Schumer Thank God for China Because Trump Can't Tweet ... Or Can He?

SILENCE OF THE TWEETS
TMZ.com

Chuck Schumer just took a jab at President Trump and the entire country of China ... but gave a fast food chain a ringing endorsement.

We got the New York Senator at Capitol Hill Wednesday and asked about China's Twitter ban ... he says the policy's a good thing -- at least while the Prez is there. As for China as a whole ... Schumer's clearly not a fan.

The joke's on Chuck, though ... because Trump's still tweeting away, reportedly with the help of special equipment that lets him bypass the country's Internet firewall.

Right around the time we talked to Schumer, Trump posted a reminder of last year's election victory.

The Senator probably needed a McDonald's break after that.

Raiders Lineman We Didn't Plot to Hurt Derek Carr ... Miko Grimes Is Lying

Oakland Raiders stud lineman Donald Penn says allegations that the offensive line plotted to injure QB Derek Carr over his stance on taking a knee are total and utter bullcrap.

Penn is firing back at Miko Grimes -- wife of Bucs star Brent Grimes -- who went on "The Breakfast Club" and claimed there was an internal dispute during Week 3 ... and the line let Carr have it in Week 4.

"The reason Derek Carr got injured is because the Raiders offensive line allowed him to get injured because he was against them protesting. They had a fight in the locker room before that Monday night game with the Redskins," Miko said.

She continued -- "That's the only all-black offensive line in the NFL is the Raiders. ... When the whole offensive line said they were going to kneel, he was like, 'No, you're not kneeling. This is America, you're going to stand for the flag' ... so when they came out to play, they basically had a plan."

Enter Penn -- the leader of Oakland's O-line -- who shot Grimes down hard.

"It’s crazy how people will make up lies and tell a story so false and untrue 2 get them some attention," Penn tweeted. "I hope it was worth it. All lies."

President Trump Erased from Twitter!!! Twitter Employee Did It

5:25 PM PT -- Twitter's now copping to one of its staffers pulling the plug on President Trump.

Just a shot in the dark here, but we're thinking POTUS will have plenty to say about this.

Donald Trump's Twitter page was mysteriously taken down ... only to reappear after a few minutes.

The @realDonaldTrump handle was shut down just before 4 PM PT ... sending the twitterverse into a frenzy. If you checked in to see what the Prez was spewing tweeting ... you got the automated message, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"

But before conspiracy theorists could formulate a nice, juicy plot -- the page was back up and running and seemed to have all of his timeline intact.

His last tweet before the crash was about his nominee for Federal Reserve Chairman.

Zachary Quinto Spacey's Coming Out Is 'Deeply Sad and Troubling'

Kevin Spacey is taking more heat from the LGBT community -- now, Zachary Quinto is teeing off on his coming out, calling it "deeply sad and troubling."

The 'Star Trek' star says Spacey's announcement he's gay was nothing but a "calculated manipulation to deflect attention from the very serious accusation" ... that he attempted to molest then-14-year-old actor Anthony Rapp.

As we reported ... Spacey came out in his apology statement to Rapp, in which he also claimed he didn't remember the alleged incident.

Quinto ain't buying that. He added, "i am sorry that kevin only saw fit to acknowledge his truth when he thought it would serve him - just as his denial served him for so many years."

Rosie O'Donnell has ripped Spacey, and so has Billy Eichner.

Rosie O'Donnell to Kevin Spacey You're Like Weinstein ... We All Knew!!!

Rosie O'Donnell is calling out Kevin Spacey for allegedly having a rep as a predator in Hollywood, akin to Harvey Weinstein ... saying everyone in Hollywood knew.

Rosie took to Twitter Monday to directly slam Spacey for not remembering an alleged attempt at molesting then-14-year-old Anthony Rapp ... and she didn't mince words.

She tweeted ... "f*** u kevin - like Harvey we all new about u - I hope more men come forward @KevinSpacey." Rosie added ... "no one knew details - like harvey - but u knew both were creepy men with reps that said so."

As we reported ... Spacey came out as gay in his statement addressing Rapp's allegations. Other celebs have blasted him for choosing such a moment to embrace his sexuality.

Kevin hasn't responded to the latest criticism.

Kathy Griffin Andy Cohen Diss Isn't Funny ... He's 'Deeply Misogynistic'

Kathy Griffin is ripping into Andy Cohen for dissing her to a TMZ photog -- and says he was a horrible misogynist to her while she was at Bravo.

Kathy was reacting to a video we posted where Andy joked he had no idea who Kathy was. It seemed clear he held some sort of grudge ... possibly over Kathy calling their mutual friend, Anderson Cooper, "spineless."

WHO??

But she is making it clear it goes way deeper than that. Andy was a Bravo exec when Kathy's 'My Life on the D-List' was airing ... as well as several of her comedy specials. She claims Andy "Treated me like a dog" and was "deeply misogynistic."

She wasn't more specific about the allegation.

Eric Chase Bolling Jr. Death Ruled Accidental Overdose ... Father Says

5:25 PM PT -- We've obtained Bolling Jr.'s autopsy report -- it confirms Sr.'s tweets -- saying Jr. died of an accidental overdose. The report states Jr.'s blood had cocaine, fentanyl and a medication for anxiety.

The death of Eric Chase Bolling Jr. has been ruled an accidental overdose ... this according to his father.

The ex-Fox News Channel anchor, Eric Bolling, said he received tragic news Thursday from the coroner in Colorado informing him his 19-year-old son accidentally overdosed on drugs that included opioids. Eric went on to say, "Adrienne and I thank you for your continued prayers and support. We must fight against this national epidemic, too many innocent victims."

The news comes on the same day President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a national public health emergency.

We broke the story ... Eric died after suffering "emotional torture" over the humiliation his dad was suffering following his firing from the network over sexual harassment allegations.

Don Lemon's Twitter Troll HATES Liberals ... But He's Hot for Huma Abedin

Don Lemon's Twitter troll -- who's now been reported to police -- has a history of hating on almost all liberals, except one ... "beautiful" Huma Abedin, who he wishes would come over to his side.

The self-proclaimed white nationalist Trump supporter who sent Lemon death threats this week has a recent history of vile tweets. He's sent them to Democrats like Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Frederica Wilson -- vocal critics of Trump.

Oh, and he's also bashed Marshawn Lynch.

Here's the kicker, he's got a soft spot for Hillary Clinton's right hand woman. On Oct. 20 he called Huma ... "so beautiful" and says it's "such a shame" she's on the wrong side -- and invited her to "join us."

TMZ broke the story ... Don went to cops after the troll threatened his life -- and we've learned NYPD's Hate Crimes task force is now investigating.

TWITTER FINGERS
TMZ.com

Senator Bob Corker continues getting dogged by President Trump ... and he's taking it like a champ.

We got the U.S. senator from Tennessee on Capitol Hill Tuesday and we asked him for his response after the Prez went after him again this morning ... tweeting Corker couldn't get elected dog catcher in his home state.

FYI, they've been feuding since Corker referred to The White House as an adult day care center.

Check it out ... Corker found the whole thing amusing before countering with a subtle jab of his own.

For the record ... dog catcher is not an elected position in Tennessee. Just sayin.

One of the KFC's now-famous 11 "Herbs and Spices" is an L.A. City Councilman, who's totally down for an original recipe hookup with the Spice Girls and the other herbs. Make it happen, Colonel!

We got L.A. City Council President Herb J. Wesson Jr. -- 1 of the 6 Herbs KFC follows on Twitter, along with all 5 Spice Girls -- and he says there's nothing fowl about his newfound fame.

He also made it clear ... he's not afraid to sell out for chicken, as evidenced by his suddenly booming social media.

Herb's not sure which ingredient he is in the secret recipe, but he's already declared himself the #1 Herb -- apologies to music legend, Herb Alpert -- and he has big plans, if Colonel Sanders cares to listen.

We can see it now -- ya can't fry KFC without Wesson!!

Or something like that.

Rose McGowan Suspended from Twitter Over Weinstein, Affleck Attacks

8:40 AM PT -- McGowan's Twitter has now been unlocked.

Twitter's chief spokesperson tells us her account was temporarily locked because one of her tweets included a private phone number, which violates its Terms of Service. McGowan's account was unlocked once the tweet was removed.

The spokesperson added ... "Twitter is proud to empower and support the voices on our platform, especially those that speak truth to power. We stand with the brave women and men who use Twitter to share their stories."

Rose McGowan has been booted from Twitter for tweets attacking Ben Affleck and Harvey Weinstein.

Rose went wild on Twitter, telling Affleck to "f*** off," and going after the honchos at The Weinstein Co., saying, "Every man there has the blood of sorrow on their hands." She says Bob Weinstein, Harvey's brother, "is a POS."

And Matt Damon wasn't spared ... Rose tweeted, "What's it like to be a spineless profiteer who stays silent?"

And Harvey Weinstein was in Rose's sights ... after the New Yorker tweeted the police audio of Harvey's conversations with Ambra Gutierrez, Rose tweeted, "Now imagine his huge size, its monster face/body closing in on you. In one second your life path is not yours. You have been stolen."

And of her own encounter Rose posted a pic of herself and tweeted, "This is the girl that was hurt by a monster. This is who you are shaming with your silence."

It appears Rose just got a time-out ... she may be back as early as today ... but Twitter made its point.

ESPN's Josina Anderson Fires Back at Trump ... Stop Attacking Jemele!

One of Jemele Hill's ESPN colleagues says she's sick and tired of Donald Trump's attacks on the "SportsCenter" host ... and is publicly calling for POTUS to back off.

Josina Anderson -- an NFL sideline reporter/insider -- tweeted, "Stop attacking our colleague Jemele Hill, any other journalists or media entities. We are doing our work."

Trump had previously tweeted that Hill was responsible for "tanking" ratings on the sports network -- this after she was hit with a 2-week suspension for comments about Jerry Jones.

Josina and Jemele are pretty tight off the air -- and it's clear Josina is upset with how things are going down.

FYI, Lindsay Czarniak‏ -- who also works at ESPN -- voiced her feelings about Hill's suspension on Monday saying, "The suspension of my friend @jemelehill is sad and disappointing on a number of levels."

SQUARING UP

It all went down after the Raiders lost to the Ravens -- Penn gets out of his car and says to a man wearing a Raiders shirt, "All that f**king talk, you ain't gonna do shit n***a."

He went on, "I do block, bitch. Be a f**king fan."

Penn then grabbed a security guard and told him to tend to the fans.

After the incident, Penn went to Twitter and wrote, "He threw a bottle at my car but I should of stayed in the car."

He added, "He was tryna get me to react so he could sue me glad I took a sec 2 think."
