The Morning Show with Chuck & Jo-Ann

THERE'S A SCENE IN STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS IN WHICH BRITISH ACTRESS ALICE EVE IS PICTURED IN JUST HER UNDERWEAR. MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUGGESTED IT'S RATHER GRATUITOUS. BUT WHILE ADMITTING HE CAN "SEE THEIR POINT", DIRECTOR JJ ABRAMS SAYS THE BRIEF SHOT WAS INTENDED TO ILLUSTRATE CAPTAIN KIRK'S WOMANISING WAYS, AND WAS BALANCED BY A SIMILAR ONE SHOWING ACTOR CHRIS PINE TOPLESS.

ABRAMS WHO WAS APPEARING ON CONAN O'BRIEN ALSO REVEALED THAT A DELETED SCENE FROM THE MOVIE HAD FEATURED BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH'S VILLAIN JOHN HARRISON NUDE IN THE SHOWER.

THE "SHOWER OF EVIL", AS ABRAMS DESCRIBES IT, ALSO PROVES ONCE AND FOR ALL JUST HOW MUCH CUMBERBATCH MUST HAVE WORKED OUT FOR HIS NEW ROLE – WE'RE PRETTY SURE SHERLOCK DOESN'T HAVE PECS LIKE THOSE...

Jose Canseco is under investigation in Las Vegas after a woman filed a report accusing the former MLB star of sexual assault ... but Jose says it's all BS.

The 48-year-old retired baseball player has been named as a suspect in a police report filed with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.

We're told ... the person who filed the report says it happened on May 10.

Canseco went to his Twitter yesterday and said, "[The accuser] told police that I drugged her and then raped her. hmmmmm. lets find out what really happened."
