Bill Cosby is reaching out from behind bars to people who have been in his corner since his April 26, 2018 conviction for raping Andrea Constand.

The 83-year old actor and comedian started "Thank You Thursday." The first person he showed gratitude to was Boosie Badazz.

"On this 10th day of December 2020...I will pay homage to those who have supported me and my family, simply by saying, thank you. The first person to be recognized on Thank You Thursday is Rapper @BOOSIEOFFICIAL," Cosby tweeted. "Thank you for your support & I’m praying for you to have a speedy recovery and for your mobility to be restored. Again, thank you very much."

Cosby was referring to Boosie's being shot in Dallas last month. The rapper was hit in the leg when someone opened fire on the vehicle he was riding in. He underwent two surgeries, and had some screws put in to make sure his foot properly heals.

Boosie was in Dallas attending a memorial for his slain friend and fellow rapper Mo3.

Cosby is currently serving a three to ten year sentence at the State Correctional Institution – Phoenix in Pennsylvania.

Kim Kardashian West needs to stop trying to save convicted killer Brandon Bernard from being executed because she's not considering the pain of the family he destroyed ... so says a member of that family.

Dana Ladd, the stepsister of one of Bernard's victims, Stacie Bagley, tells TMZ ... Bernard deserves to be executed by lethal injection Thursday at a penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana despite Kim's desperate pleas to the White House to spare his life.

Ladd says, "I want her to think about if it was one of her children that Bernard did that to -- would she feel differently? It's easy for people to say things when they don't have similar experiences."

A source close to Kim tells us her heart breaks for both sides and in no way has she meant for her efforts to diminish the loss of Stacie. Kim says she knows what Brandon did was wrong, but taking his life won't make things right.

Bernard was 18 in 1999 when he was involved in the brutal kidnapping and killing of Todd and Stacie Bagley. While Bernard was not the trigger man, he put the victim's bodies in the trunk of a car and set it on fire.

Dana says during his trial, Bernard never showed remorse. Our Kim sources say she's spoken directly to Brandon, who has repeatedly said he's sorry for his role in Stacie's murder ... his remorse and his young family are major reasons why she got involved in his case.

Another defendant in that case, Christopher Vialva, who shot the couple in the head, was executed back in September. There were 3 other teenagers involved and they received long prison sentences ... while Vialva and Bernard got the death penalty.

As you might know ... Kim's been tweeting constantly since bringing Bernard's case to light last month. She had tweeted Bernard has only seen his kids through a glass, a tweet that really got to Dana.

Dana says, "Bernard was able to see his family through glass, but we'll never be able to see Stacie anymore. He has a daughter -- what would he think if someone did that to his daughter?" Dana says ... Bernard's getting what he deserves and nothing more.

She added, "A sin is a sin -- consequences of those sins will play out and that's what's happening today."

If executed tomorrow, Brandon will die having never been able to touch his children. All his visits with them have been behind glass, though this has not deterred him from being the best father he can be from prison. pic.twitter.com/aMPBr1As1w

A Bradenton woman stuffed the body of a 40-year-old man into a trash can after he died to keep collecting his Social Security benefits, investigators said.

Michelle Haney, 48, was arrested Wednesday by Manatee County Sheriff’s deputies and is now facing charges of abuse of a corpse, news outlets reported.

Investigators said Haney told them Jon Christopher Leonard died in July of what appeared to be natural causes. His body was found in a trash can being stored at a neighbor’s home.

Haney and Leonard had been living together at the time. Instead of calling authorities, investigators said Haney stored Leonard’s body in a closet, before sealing it in a trash can three weeks later.

She then took the trash can to a neighbor’s house, and told the neighbor that she’d be back for it later. Investigators said the neighbor was apparently unaware of what was inside. He called authorities after he smelled an odor and opened the container.

Haney told investigators that she kept the body so she could continue receiving his benefits.

She remains in the Manatee County Jail on $7,500 bail.

G Herbo appeared via Zoom, in front of a federal judge Wednesday in Massachusetts and entered a not guilty plea in his federal fraud case.

According to TMZ, Herbo, real name Herbert Wright III, posted $75,000 bail.

As part of the conditions of his bail the Chicago rapper had to surrender his passport, is barred from opening any new lines of credit, can't sell or give away any assets worth more than $50,000 and cannot travel domestically without permission.

Herbo is accused of being the ringleader of a $1.5 million scheme in which stolen credit card information, acquired from the dark web was used to fund his lavish lifestyle. He's been charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and identity theft.

The illegal money was used to fund trips on private jets, exotic car rentals, luxury vacation rentals and designer puppies.

Antonio Strong and Joseph Williams aka “Joe Rodeo” or “Rockstar Rodie” also face charges.

Chicago Tribune journalist Jason Meisner tweeted from court that Herbo's ex-girlfriend Ari Fletcher will be called to testify in the case.

"Prosecutors also identified one of the witnesses in the case as a woman with initials “A.F.” who shares a child with Wright from their previous relationship," Meisner wrote. "Records show she is Ariana Fletcher, of Atlanta. Wright was ordered not to speak with her about the allegations."

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A high school student in Minneapolis has been recognized with a prestigious national courage award for filming the arrest and death of George Floyd.

Barack Obama, Madeleine Albright, Spike Lee were among the famous names who took part in a virtual PEN America gala Tuesday night to honor those protecting freedom of speech and the power of words.

Among six honorees was Minneapolis high school senior Darnella Frazier.

"A young woman whose cell phone and fearlessness may have changed the world, Darnella Frazier, remember that name," said Franklin Leonard, the host of the gala.

PEN America is a national literary and human rights organization. The work they’re highlighting this year, they say, is more important than ever, including the actions of Frazier.

The teen virtually accepted her PEN Benenson Courage Award, which was presented by film director Spike Lee, for her actions on May 25.

"My sister, I commend you and you deserve this award," said Lee.

The 17-year-old took out her cell phone on the corner of 38th and Chicago and filmed former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the neck of George Floyd for nearly nine minutes. Chauvin is now facing murder charges.

"It’s just a lot to take in, but I couldn’t say thank you enough for everything that’s been coming towards me," said Frazier.

The teen’s video sparked worldwide protests and a path for change.

"Thank you Darnella," said Anita Hill. "Your thinking and bravery under immense pressure has made the world safer and more, just thank you."

The young woman said she is still taking in what it means to be one person who can make a big difference.

"I never would’ve imagined out of my whole 17 years of living that this would be me," said Frazier.

Gabourey Sidibe didn't need a super offensive photo to check Twista for posting a disgusting, bullying meme -- she just destroyed him with words, and even got him to apologize ... but that may not be nearly enough.

The "Precious" star brilliantly clapped back at the fast-spitting MC after he posted a meme displaying a side-by-side photo of her and model Bernice Burgos. Gabourey's captioned "Option A," adding she's super successful while Bernice is listed as "Option B" ... a couch surfer with no car, 3 kids and 12K Instagram followers.

Twista then asked his 438K followers "Who y'all choosing A or B."

Once Gabourey got word of the meme, she obliterated him, saying ... "Wow. I um…. gee. @twistagmg I only like you as a rapper I forgot about in 2005. But good luck with option B!" She added a kissing emoji ... for good measure.

Twista deleted the post but furious reactions continued, like this one ... "Twista a bitch for this post and you are the lowest of the low."

Twista's now apologized ... telling The Shade Room it was an "honest mistake," adding "I was traveling most of the day when I saw the mistake. I immediately had it taken down. I don't know her directly but my sincere apologies to her."

Looks like someone needs to make an appearance on "Red Table Talk."
