Al Sharptonhas some words of advice forBill Cosby: start talking. The talk show host thinks Cosby, who faces a growing number of sexual assault allegations, needs to address the controversy before his reputation hits rock bottom.

Im very disappointed with him, Sharpton was heard telling a friend, according toPage Six. He needs to talk to somebody. He needs to talk, Sharpton said repeatedly. He has to answer to someone.

Naturally, Sharpton said he would be happy to host an exclusive sit-down with the sitcom icon on his MSNBC show. I know him. I could make a call, Sharpton said, adding, I dont think [the charges are] racially motivated.

Cosby, who has remained silent on the allegations except for a statement released through his lawyer, doesn't seem likely to talk anytime soon. In an interview with theAssociated Pressat a museum event earlier this month, Cosby was faced with questions about the rape accusations. He told the reporter, "We don't talk about that," and asked him if he would "scuttle" that part of the interview.

TheCosby Showstar also reportedly tried to silenceWendy Williamsin the early 1990s for repeating comments Cosby made in the media about rape during her radio show. Williams recounted the incident duringThe Wendy Williams Showthis week.

Though she says she was simply reading comments made by Cosby himself two decades prior, Cosby called her general manager and demanded to have her fired.

She explained, "My own boss turned on me like a wild pit bull, called me in his office in the middle of... the morning broadcast and Cosby is on the speaker phone." Then, she added, "Cosby dressed me down and called me everything but a daughter of God."

Al Sharpton said today that he is "on high alert" for the grand jury decision in the case of Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

Sharpton said that his civil rights group, the National Action Network, have been planning for "vigils and non-violent demonstrations" when the Ferguson grand jury hands down its ruling, which is expected to come any day.

"I have pledged to the mother and father of Michael Brown that I will be there with them when the decision is announced," Sharpton said at a press conference today.

FBI Warns Ferguson Decision Will Likely Lead to Violence By Extremists Protesters

Sharpton said he is also waiting for a grand jury ruling on the death of Eric Garner, a black man who died while being held in a choke hold by a New York City police officer. That incident was caught on videotape.

He said both grand juries appear to be going beyond the usual protocol of hearing enough evidence to determine whether there should be a trial.

"It is very suspect to us that the grand juries in both cases appear to be improperly expanded to where it is about to prove or disprove the accused rather than seeing if there is probable cause to go to trial," Sharpton said.

"That is not the proper use" of a grand jury, he said. Such tribunals are generally used to deem whether or not there is enough probable cause for a criminal case, while guilt or innocence should not be their focus.

Law enforcement officials fear that the protests could turn violent, as some did in August following the Brown's death. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency and deployed called the National Guard. The FBI has released a memo to all field offices warning that extremists "will likely" try to infiltrate the demonstrations not only in Ferguson, but elsewhere around the country, and may use the verdict as an excuse to hack public utilities and other sites.
