– Chris Brown wants to poop and fart on lady comedian; deletes Twitter account.
– Charlie Sheen once gave Lindsay Lohan a check for $100,000 to help out with her IRS “debt,” which is one case of the blinded-by-syphilis leading the blinded-by-syphilis. Read More
Backstabber! Just last month, Charlie Sheen was praising his Two and a Half Men replacement, Ashton Kutcher, for following in his footsteps and completely falling apart the classy way he was handling tabloid pressure. (Since joining the show, Mr. Kutcher has separated from wife Demi Moore after illicit, drug-fueled photos of him with other women began cropping up.)
“I was kind of impressed… I thought, ‘Hey, man, make it colorful!’” Mr. Sheen said about Mr. Kutcher’s exploits. He’d previously given Mr. Kutcher his blessing on taking over for him on the show as well.

They wore absurd pompadours and giant paisleys. They were many-chinned and Naugahyde-skinned. Milling around Radio City, some of them looked like somebody there owed them money, and some like they were afraid of being served with court papers. They were drunk, loud and hungry, and they held discounted tickets entitling them to a privileged glimpse Read More
Over the weekend, Charlie Sheen was booed in Detroit and had his career as a speaker revived in Chicago (such instantaneous pulse-taking on the actor’s quasi-career as a public speaker is enough to make one regret baser elements of the Internet, which kick-started the nonsense in the first place). Entertainment Weekly, perhaps uncouthly, said Read More

The Ides of March are upon us. Actually, that’s inaccurate. The ides of March have shaken, slammed and otherwise shamelessly brutalized us over the course of the last week. Acts of god. Horrible accidents. More Charlie Sheen. “Upon us” is a bit of an understatement.
