ABC entertainment chief Stephen McPherson has resigned while under investigation by the network for multiple sexual harassment complaints.

Tom Hoberman, McPherson's lawyer, issued a statement Wednesday, shortly after reports of the allegations became public. He said his client's decision to resign was voluntary.

Hoberman said that "it is not uncommon for high level executives to be the subject of gossip and innuendo. That would include rumors of internal situations which can easily be misinterpreted or misrepresented. Seems like it goes with the territory, and there is nothing further to discuss."

Paul Lee, head of ABC Family, was named McPherson's replacement, according to The Hollywood Reporter and other media outlets.

McPherson took over as president of entertainment at ABC in 2004. The St. Petersburg Times writes that he led the network to develop its successful Wednesday night comedy block and one of this year's most Emmy-nominated shows, "Modern Family."

William Shatner, whose next TV series will be "$#• ! My Dad Says" for CBS, has become a confessor for convicted D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo.

On an A&E network special that was scheduled to air last night, Malvo speaks to the actor in a telephone call from a Virginia prison. He says that he and his partner, John Allen Muhammad, tried to recruit fellow shooters for their 2002 spree and that his accomplice killed one man for backing out.

Malvo also says that two men planned to join in the attacks to make them more deadly but reneged. Malvo did not identify them in the interview for the A&E show.

Malvo's revelations came in response to questions about claims by a psychiatrist that the duo had co-conspirators. The psychiatrist also said the sniper had confessed to shootings in addition to the spree that terrorized the Washington region, when 13 people were hit and 10 of them died.

Speaking of the one-hour "Confessions of the DC Sniper with William Shatner: An Aftermath Special," Prince William Commonwealth's attorney Paul Ebert said, "I don't know that you can trust anything Malvo says."

On ABC's "Good Morning America" yesterday, Shatner said he was fascinated by Malvo's turnabout, "the fact that remorse creeps into his life."

"He was a malleable teenager and lacking love in his life," Shatner said. "John Muhammad supplies the love and influences him to become ... a cold-blooded killer at the age of 17. Now he's in jail and now he begins the turmoil in his mind."

Malvo, now 25, said he has forgiven Muhammad. At trial, Malvo accused Muhammad of turning him into a "monster."

An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment yesterday on the claims, The Associated Press reported.

Former "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow is dispensing "Web Therapy" these days.

As self-absorbed therapist Fiona Wallice, her character on the online show, Ms. Kudrow has decided that three-minute sessions by webcam are sufficient to diagnose a patient and dole out advice. The conversation often veers off-topic and onto Wallice.

"Web Therapy" is available on Hulu, lstudio.com and for purchase on iTunes. Showtime has said it will air at least 10 episodes starting next year, with new material shot for TV.

Mark Wahlberg may be one of "The Other Guys," but he's also one of the guys now. The rapper/underwear model/Oscar-nominated actor has been enshrined in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Wahlberg, 39, was presented with a star yesterday while Will Ferrell, his co-star in the action-comedy "The Other Guys," looked on.

The comedian got in a couple of digs, the AP reported.

"I'm glad to be here," Ferrell said. "I first became a fan of Mark's when I bought his workout video. And I love all your 'Bourne' movies."

The "Bourne" films star Matt Damon, not the man formerly known as Marky Mark.

He was also seen as a Calvin Klein underwear model before his breakout film role in "Boogie Nights." Wahlberg got a supporting actor Academy Award nomination in 2006 for "The Departed." His TV credits include executive producer of the HBO series "Entourage," "In Treatment," "How to Make It in America" and "Boardwalk Empire."

With his wife and four children at the sidewalk ceremony, the actor said, "I'm so happy my kids are sitting through this. When I heard I was getting this star, I felt like it was a practical joke."
