March29 Reese Withersponn Wedding Guest List Details!

Reese Witherspoon & Jim Toth's Star-Studded Wedding Guest List

 

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth hosted an intimate, private wedding over the weekend – and their guest list read like a who's who of Hollywood.

It comes as no surprise, perhaps, that an Academy Award winner and top Hollywood agent would have a star-studded social circle, but like any other guest list there's a story behind how the folks who attended the nuptials landed an invite.

• Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan
The Iron Man star relies on a super agent to help navigate his career: Toth himself! While the groom is pals with the Downey Jr., Witherspoon also has a friendship with the actor and even had him and his wife up to her Ojai, Calif., estate in 2008 where they went hiking.

• Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn
Johansson is linked to the newlyweds through the groom: Toth is her agent at Creative Arts Agency. And the actress upped the star power at the wedding when she brought her new beau, Sean Penn, to the nuptials on Saturday.

• Alyssa Milano and hubby David Bugliari
Toth and Bugliari are work associates: They're both high-powered agents at CAA. But their brides have a connection, too. Witherspoon and Milano appeared together in the 1996 thriller Fear with Mark Wahlberg.

• Matthew McConaughey and Tobey Maguire
Okay, these two Hollywood hunks didn't come to the wedding together, but both attended because of their connection to the groom. McConaughey and Maguire are among Toth's A-list clients.

• Renée Zellweger
The newly single star is a pal of both the bride and the groom, and the trio share friends in common.

March28am-2 Reese Witherspoon Marries Jim Toth!

Reese Wedding!

•  Reese Witherspoon is a married woman, once again!

The Academy Award-winning beauty tied the knot with her fiancé, CAA entertainment agent Jim Toth, in a ceremony at her Ojai, Calif., ranch estate on Saturday evening, a rep for the actress confirmed to Access Hollywood on Sunday.

The couple, who became engaged in late December, treated guests to a pre-wedding cocktail hour before Reese walked down the aisle to the traditional nuptial tune of Wagner's "Here Comes the Bride," according to People.
Reese's best friend, Heather Rosenfield, reportedly served as matron of honor, while the actress's nieces served as flower girls, according to Us Weekly.

The ceremony lasted only 20 minutes and was officiated by the founder of Santa Monica's Thad's church, Reverend Jimmy Bartz.
The bride dazzled in a custom-designed Monique Lhullier gown and the couple exchanged weddings bands designed by jeweler William Goldberg, according to Us Weekly.
Among those in attendance were the bride's two children Ava and Deacon (accompanied by their father, Reese's first husband Ryan Phillippe), along with Sean Penn with Scarlett Johansson, Tobey Maguire, Renee Zellweger, Robert Downey Jr. with wife Susan, and Alyssa Milano with her fellow CAA agent husband, David Bugliari, according to People.

Reps for Reese were not immediately available for comment on the happy news when contacted by Access on Sunday.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com , Reese announced her engagement in late December 2010.

"They are engaged and they are extremely happy," a rep for Reese told Access at the time.
The former "Legally Blonde" star began dating Jim, 40, an agent at Creative Artists Agency (where Reese is a client), in January 2010.
This is the second marriage for the upcoming "Water for Elephants" star.
In 2007, she and actor Ryan Phillippe divorced after seven years of marriage and two children - Ava, now 11, and Deacon, now 7.
Reese originally filed for divorce from Ryan on November 8, 2006, citing "irreconcilable differences," but the divorce was not finalized until October 2007.
The former spouses met at Reese's 21st birthday party in 1997 and began dating shortly thereafter.
In April 1998, Ryan and Reese filmed "Cruel Intentions."
They were married in June 1999 in Charleston, South Carolina.

March28am Mariah Carey Having Contractions

Mariah Carey ready to have Twins!

 

Mariah Carey

Mother-to-be – of twins! – Mariah Carey nearly had her hands full on her birthday, Sunday, March 27.

The babies, Carey, 42, Tweeted in the early hours of Sunday, "really wanted 2 celebrate w/us/share the anniversary! I started having contractions last night..went 2 the hospital."

Then, she said, "They almost came on 3/27- happy anniversary in deed!!! We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: )"

Meanwhile, Papa-to-be Nick Cannon, 30, did some Tweeting of his own on Thursday. He said, "I am probably going to faint in the delivery room! I need to man up! Or maybe I should say WOMAN UP since they are the ones that have to be the strongest in the whole ordeal! I am in awe of my wife!"

March25pm Lady Gaga Country Tune On The Way!

Lady Gaga Goes Country!

 

Lady Gaga in the video for "Born This Way"

Is pop's current queen just a cowgirl at heart?

With her second studio album due for release in May, Lady Gaga is crossing genres with a "Country Road Version" of her hit "Born This Way," which she debuted via Twitter Friday morning.

The remix, co-produced by Gaga with Fernando Garibay, turns a club-ready beat into a more stripped-down, drawled-out ballad, and, in true Gaga fashion, she even takes a break from the usual routine with one new verse: "If we want it make it country, baby, it's okay/'cause I was born, I was born, I was born this way/from London, Paris, Japan, back to U.S.A/I was born on the road, I was born to be brave."


With a few harmonica touches, the reborn, country-fied tune goes where Gaga, 24, has never gone before – not an easy feat for the pop star known for her off-the-chart antics. And while pop and country are no strangers in the music industry – think Taylor Swift, LeAnn Rimes – we don't know if we'll ever adjust to seeing Gaga sporting cowgirl boots.

March25am Elizabeth Taylor's Funeral Delayed

Elizabeth Taylor's Funeral Delayed 15 Minutes

 

Elizabeth Taylor

She was a Hollywood original to the end.

Elizabeth Taylor was laid to rest Thursday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif., in a small, private funeral attended by friends and family that began 15 minutes after schedule – under instructions she left.

"She even wanted to be late for her own funeral," a family rep said in a statement.

Taylor's casket was closed and draped with gardenias, violets, and lily of the valley. She was interred in The Great Mausoleum, the same resting place for her longtime friend Michael Jackson.

The one-hour, multi-denominational service officated by Rabbi Jerry Cutler included a reading by actor Colin Farrell, a friend of Taylor's, of Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poem "The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo."

Taylor's son Michael Wilding, her daughter Liza Burton Tivey and her grandson Tarquin Wilding also read selections, and her grandson Rhys Tivey performed a trumpet solo of "Amazing Grace."

The acting legend died Wednesday at the age of 79.

March24pm Whoopi Love Her Pot!!

Whoopi Goldberg: I Smoked Pot Before My Oscar Speech

 

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg wasn't just high on excitement the night that she won an Oscar in 1991.

In an old video of The View co-host, which surfaced in the Internet Thursday, she admitted she was stoned while accepting the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Ghost.

"Smoking cigarettes and pot every now and then are my habits. And I thought, 'I've got to relax.' So I smoked this wonderful joint that was the last of my home grown," Goldberg explains in the video posted by TMZ.

In the clip, dated August 9, 1992 and reportedly filmed during a voice-over session for The Pagemaster, Goldberg revealed she was so shocked by her win that she was worried about making it up to the stage.

"When he [presenter Denzel Washington] said my name and I popped up, I thought, 'Oh f---...okay, up the stairs ... around to the podium … there's millions of people, pick up the statue, get the statue," she said.

While the actress was poised in her acceptance speech, she says her mother could tell her daughter was stoned because of her "glistening eyes" and later called to scold her.

"I know you're not supposed to admit that you smoke pot, but I don't drink alcohol," Goldberg says on the tape. "Just because I do it doesn't mean you should."

March24am Lindsay Lohan Going to Trial

Lindsay Lohan Rejects Plea Deal

 

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan is gambling that a jury will believe her side of the story: That she's no thief.

The actress has turned down a plea deal that included jail time and opted to move toward a trial in her felony grand theft case, Los Angeles prosecutors confirmed Wednesday.

"Ms. Lohan has maintained her innocence from the moment this case was filed and she has never wavered," her attorney Shawn Holley said in a statement. "Though many advised her to follow the safe route by taking 'the deal', the truth is, Ms. Lohan is innocent; she has a strong defense; and we are confident that a jury will listen to the evidence fairly and acquit her."

Lohan, 24, is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., store. Sources close to Lohan contend she believed the necklace was loaned to her, a version of events refuted by the store's owners.

A preliminary hearing, in which testimony is heard and a judge decides if there's enough evidence for a trial, is set to begin on April 22.

If convicted, Lohan faces a maximum of three years in prison. She also faces the possibility of jail time if a judge decides she violated her probation in a DUI case

March23 Elizabeth Taylor Has Died, Tragedy!

Elizabeth Taylor Has Died

 

Elizabeth Taylor

 

Elizabeth Taylor, the Hollywood icon and Oscar-winner who was practically born in the spotlight, has died. She was 79.

"She was surrounded by her children – Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton," Taylor's publicist, Sally Morrison, said in a statement. In addition to her children, Taylor is survived by 10 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

On Feb. 11, it was announced that she had been in taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles earlier that week for symptoms caused by congestive heart failure, and around 1:30 a.m. she "peacefully died there," according to her publicist. "Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, this was not to be."

A stunning beauty with mesmerizing violet eyes and a double set of eyelashes, Taylor was catapulted to superstardom as a child, though she lived larger than life both on screen and off even long after she had retired from movies and became a perfume mogul.

Among the very last of MGM's stable of stars groomed for a life before the public, Taylor helped define the term "Jet Set" in the '60s, just as her charitable works, starting in the '80s, often outshone her remarkable jewelry collection.

For Elizabeth Taylor, nothing was ordinary – including her medical battles.

For the past several years she had suffered ill health, though to the very end she was a tireless advocate for AIDS research.

In 1993, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, in recognition of her charity work, presented Taylor with its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

Born in Hampstead, England, the second child of Francis Taylor, an American art gallery owner working abroad, and his wife Sara Sothern, who was a former actress, Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor moved with her family to Los Angeles before the start of World War II.

Life On Screen

Her movie debut was in 1942's There's One Born Every Minute, and she appeared with lifelong friend Roddy McDowall in 1943's Lassie Come Home. But it was 1944's National Velvet that brought her stardom – at age 12.

Her more notable pictures as an adult included Father of the Bride, A Place in the Sun, Giant, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and two for which she won Best Actress Oscars: Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.

With 1963's Cleopatra, the dark beauty with the violet eyes became the first Hollywood star to earn a $1 million salary.

The $46 million spectacle, though dismissed by critics, also teamed her with the actor who would become her 4th and 5th husband: Richard Burton.

The beauty was not only known for her string of movie roles and generous charitable contributions: Her storied personal life, which included eight marriages and seven husbands, added to Taylor’s status as a true Hollywood legend.

Her other husbands (before Burton) were hotel heir Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, actor Michael Wilding, producer Michael Todd, singer Eddie Fisher and (after Burton) U.S. Senator John Warner and construction worker Larry Fortensky.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Details of a memorial service will be announced at a later date.

 

March23am Charlie Sheen needs Psycho Before Seeing Kids

Charlie Sheen Legally Banned From Seeing Children Until He Undergoes Psychiatric Evaluation

Good! We think that this is definitely in everyone's best interest.
According to Brooke Mueller's custody agreement with Charlie Sheen, the troubled actor must undergo a full psychological evaluation with a licensed psychiatrist in order to see his twin sons again.
A source explains:

"Charlie must submit to a mental health evaluation with a licensed professional before he can see Bob and Max. Charlie won't see the boys until he sees a psychiatrist, that is someone neutral, that hasn't previously treated him. Charlie knows what he has to do to see the boys. If he wants to see them, he will do it. Charlie agreed to these terms in the custody agreement. He has to adhere to the terms. The fact is though that before Charlie's problems began in the last several months, he had had little or no contact with Bob and Max in the previous 16 months."

Sadly, that has yet to happen, and we doubt it will for quite some time, if ever.
We're just thankful that Brooke put these terms into place in order to ensure that her kids remain safe.
Such a shame that his relationship with his children isn't an important enough incentive for him to want and get his life in order.
Here's hoping there's a miracle and he comes to his senses.

March22pm Chris Brown throws Temper Tantrum!

Chris Brown Loses Temper on Good Morning America

 

Chris Brown

A raging and shirtless Chris Brown stormed out of Good Morning America's Times Square studio Tuesday, a source confirms to PEOPLE.

"He was visibly upset and appeared livid after the interview," the source said, of Brown's being asked about his 2009 felony assault case involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna.

During an interview pegged to the release of his new album F.A.M.E., Brown, 22, told GMA anchor Robin Roberts, "It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."

Yet when Roberts inquired of the legal issues still stemming from the case, Brown said, "This album is what I want people to hear and people to really get into, so definitely this album is what I want them to talk about and not stuff that happened two years ago."
After the interview, Brown performed a number, then, according to local affiliate WABC, went into his dressing room, and reportedly screamed and started to tear apart the room. Security reportedly was summoned.

Brown did not perform a second song, as had been scheduled. Instead, he ripped off his shirt – New York temperatures are in the mid-40s Tuesday – and left the building, says WABC.

Reps for Brown did not immediately return calls for comment.

A few hours after the incident, Roberts took to Twitter to comment: "Sure has been an interesting AM @GMA. Still sorting thru everything myself. Just my 2nd day on twitter, wonder what tomorrow will bring?”

Next week, Brown is slated to perform on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

In December, Brown completed a year-long domestic violence program for his role in the case. He was previously sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community service.

Soon after Tuesday's GMA incident, TMZ reported, Brown Tweeted (before later removing the message): "I'm so over people bringing this past s**t up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bulls**t."

He then added two other messages within one minute of each other. They were: "Thank you to everyone who supports my music!!! Key Word (music) !!! Love y'all," as well as, "All my fans!!! This album is for you and only you!!! I'm so tired of everyone else!! Honestly!! I love team breezy!!"

ABC News, in a statement, said of Tuesday's turn of events: "As always, we ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy, and that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown."

March22am-2 Charlie Sheen Back to Two and Half Men??

Could Sheen Possibly Return ?

Will Charlie Sheen and Two and a Half Men ever get back together?
Believe it or not, some sources are saying yes!

Here's what NBC News reporter Jeff Rossen had to say about it :
“Sources close to Charlie Sheen tell NBC News, CBS has offered him his job back. Discussions ongoing. Not a done deal.”

And here's what Rossen said in clarification, after he realized that Warner Bros is in charge of hiring, not CBS:

“IF Warner Bros., Chuck Lorre, and Sheen can settle [their] differences”

"To be clear, there are 2 companies involved. Sources say, CBS would be happy to take Charlie back, but he still needs to reach deal with WB."

We're not so sure that we see Warner Bros changing their mind on the subject…BUT we suppose it's possible they could be having second thoughts after hearing reports that Sheen had a meeting with Fox.

March22am Lindsay Lohan's Dad Arested!

Michael Lohan Arrested for Felony Domestic Violence

 

Michael and Lindsay Lohan

There's more legal trouble brewing for the Lohan family.

Michael Lohan was arrested on three felony charges Tuesday evening in West Hollywood, Calif., after a female companion accused him of domestic violence at a nearby apartment, police say.

Lohan, 50, was booked for inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant, false imprisonment and preventing a report of victimization, Lt. John Ratto confirms to.

"Mr. Lohan was arrested after we received a call around 9 p.m. regarding a domestic dispute," Lt. Ratto said. "He was detained after he was spotted walking on the street near our station. He showed no signs of intoxication that I'm aware of and has been cooperative."

The victim, who sheriffs are declining to identify, suffered minor injuries and has declined medical treatment.

Lt. Ratto added that Lohan, while at the station, complained of a medical condition not related to the incident and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he currently remains, pending any treatment.

Lohan, who has had past run-ins with the law and has previously done time behind bars, appears not to have been on probation at the time of arrest, Lt. Ratto added.

Lohan's bail has been set at $200,000.

His daughter Lindsay, meanwhile, is expected to inform a judge by Wednesday whether she will accept a plea deal with jail time or go to trial in her felony grand theft case.

March21pm Singer Wyclef Jean Shot before Haiti vote

Wyclef Jean Shot in Haiti

 

Wyclef Jean

As Haitians head to the polls to vote for their next president, former candidate Wyclef Jean is recovering Sunday from being shot in the hand.

"He is doing well," his publicist, Cindy Tanenbaum, tells CNN. The Haiti-born hip-hop artist, 41, was shot in Port-au-Prince on Saturday, the night before the country's presidential runoff election.

Jean previously had his eyes on the executive office in Haiti, but officials in Haiti barred his presidential candidacy in August because he lives primarily in New Jersey.

The results of the runoff election, which is between former first lady Mirlande Manigat and singer Michel Martelly, will be released April 16.

March21am Paris Hilton Prosecutor Arrested on Drug Charges

Isn't it Ironic!

 

David Charles Schubert and Paris Hilton

The Las Vegas district attorney who helped prosecute Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars on separate drug charges in 2010 was arrested and booked into jail on drug charges of his own over the weekend.

David Charles Schubert, 47, was booked into jail Saturday on a charge of possession of cocaine, according to jail records. The charge was the same on which Hilton and Mars were initially booked following their arrests last summer. The socialite and the musician both later struck plea deals.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Schubert, a chief deputy district attorney, was arrested after allegedly buying crack cocaine from a street dealer as, unbeknownst to him, a police officer looked on.

Schubert was often assigned to Las Vegas's high-profile and celebrity cases, and is a member of a federal drug task force.

Possession of cocaine is a felony in Nevada

March15am JaRule Going to Jail!

Ja Rule To Release New Album One Day Before Going To Jail!

Well, that's quite a departing gift, isn't it?
Before beginning his two-year jail sentence for gun possession, Ja Rule has promised fans that he will be releasing a new album - one day before reporting to jail!!
Over the weekend, he wrote on his Twitter account:

Breaking news………RENAISSANCE PROJECT JUNE 7th!!! Mpire Music…

Ja pled guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon after he was arrested during a traffic stop. Police found an unlicensed .40 caliber handgun in the backseat of his Maybach.
Last week, a judge allowed Ja to finish his album and resolve an outstanding tax issue until June 8.
This will be his first album release since 2007's The Mirror.
We bet Ja fans are happy that the judge granted him time to finish the album.
With four years of material, we have expectations for the new disc. Too bad he won't be able to celebrate the release of his album - unless he has a party of one behind bars.
Whomp whomp.

March11am Charlie in Trouble with the LAW

Police Confiscate Bullets, Gun from Charlie Sheen

 

LAPD leave Sheen's gated community

Charlie Sheen has been attracting a lot of attention lately – including from the cops.

"LAPD detectives responded to Charlie Sheen's home this evening to investigate a possible violation of a temporary restraining order," LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman tells PEOPLE of the Thursday night visit to his home in a Beverly Hills gated community.
"It came to the attention of the LAPD that Sheen is the registered owner of firearms," the LAPD said in a statement late Thursday night, and conducted their investigation at Sheen's home "to determine if he is in possession of firearms and ammunition in violation of the [restraining order]." They confiscated bullets and an antique gun, but Sheen was not arrested or detained – he, in fact, calmly ate dinner during the search, Sheen's lawyer Mark P. Gross said outside the home.

Police visited Sheen last week to remove his twin boys from his custody after his estranged wife Brooke Mueller obtained a restraining order.

Earlier Thursday, the former couple reached a private custody agreement, but per standard temporary restraining orders, "the restrained person cannot possess, have, buy or try to buy, receive or try to receive, or in any other way get guns, other firearms or ammunition."

With police still at the home, one of Sheen's so-called "Goddesses," Natalie Kenly, downplayed the events, saying, "Everything is fine. Nothing to worry about."

Shortly after they cleared out, Sheen Tweeted, "The LAPD were awesome. Absolute pros! They can protect and serve this Warlock anytime!!"

March10am "Sorry" from Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen Issues a 'Half-Apology' to Jon Cryer

By Dahvi Shira

Wednesday March 09, 2011 08:05 PM EST

 

Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen still continues to bash his former Two and a Half Men boss Chuck Lorre – but when it comes to costar Jon Cryer, Sheen is rethinking his negative comments.

"I'll apologize to Jon right now," Sheen, 45, said Wednesday morning on K-EARTH 101 radio station. "I was in a mood and I threw that out to somebody. I didn't know they – well I kinda knew they were gonna print it. Yeah, I knew they were gonna print it. I confuse myself."

But to avoid any confusion, Sheen clarifies, "It's a little bit of a half-apology. An apol."

Explaining the motive behind Tuesday's rant that called out Cryer, 45, for being "a turncoat, a traitor and a troll," Sheen says, "the reason I was upset is because I didn't get a text or a phone call or anything saying, 'Hey, dude, back off, I got your back, or you got my back or there's a back involved.' "

Cryer has yet to publicly comment on Sheen's recent string of events, but sources say he has indeed reached out to his costar

March9am Charlie Sheen's Lover Porn

Charlie Sheen's Ex-Lovers to Reunite ... In Porn

Charlie Sheen might not be out of a job for long ...  he's been offered a job directing a porno that's slated to star THREE of his ex-lovers.


Vivid Entertainment head honcho, Steven Hirsch, fired off a letter to Sheen ... asking him to take the helms of an upcoming skin flick titled, "Two and a Half Women." 

We're told Charlie's lady friend Melanie Rios is tentatively set to star in the movie ... along with Cassandra Cruz and Elizabeth Ann ... two porn stars who have each claimed to have had intimate warlock relations with Charlie in the past.

In his letter to Sheen, Hirsch insists Charlie would have full creative control of the flick -- "scenarios, positions, etc." -- and notes, "The fact that you are the ultimate connoisseur of adult films would definitely work to your advantage."

No word on how much cash is on the table. So far, we're told Hirsch has yet to hear back.

March8am Why Charlie was Fired from Two And A Half Men

Why Charlie Sheen Was Fired from Two and a Half Men

 

Charlie Sheen

In page after page of damning language, the producers of Two of and Half Men justify firing Charlie Sheen by painting the actor as a self-destructive, sick addict who's deteriorating mentally and physically while scorning those who have tried to help him.

In an unusually personal appeal, an attorney for Warner Bros. Television tells the actor's lawyer in a letter that those close to the star should "focus your energies on what no one so far has been able to do: get your client the sustained, rigorous and effective treatment he so urgently needs.

"It is clear that [Sheen] has no intention of agreeing to the intensive evaluation and treatment that his condition requires," says the letter. "It is also clear he does not believe he has a problem and that he will continue to conduct himself in a destructive manner."

Letter Calls Sheen 'Very Ill'

The 11-page letter from Warner Bros. Television counsel John Spiegel to Sheen's lawyer Marty Singer is accompanied by 10 pages of links from PEOPLE.com and other media outlets reporting on Sheen's recent statements and behavior. Warner Bros. Television produces Two and a Half Men, which is broadcast on CBS.

"At the outset," begins Spiegel, "let us state the obvious: Your client has been engaged in dangerously self-destructive behavior and appears to be very ill."

The letter goes on to describe what producers characterize as one attempt after another to help Sheen, 45, by visiting his home, reaching out to his family, giving him time off and even making a private plane available to take him to rehab after his most recent highly publicized partying ended with the actor in the hospital.

"Regrettably, Mr. Sheen failed to continue with his rehabilitation program," says the letter. "The result has been a series of well-chronicled and increasingly erratic outbursts that have culminated with Mr. Sheen's public tirades of the last few weeks."

Along the way, Sheen noticeably has lost weight, missed rehearsals, flubbed his lines and made "inflammatory comments" – mostly directed at the show's co-creator Chuck Lorre – that were "poisoning key working relationships."

Sheen's Lawyer Responds

The star's behavior, characterized in the legal jargon of "felony offenses involving moral turpitude," combined with his missed work, physical change and other alleged transgressions, forced Warner Bros. Television to fire Sheen, the letter says.

Sheen's lawyer Singer responded by calling the termination an "absurd and ridiculous" retaliation against Sheen for daring to criticize Lorre, a powerful figure at CBS.

"We feel this is nothing more than Lorre flexing his muscles," says Singer, "and we intend to respond accordingly."

March3am Bieber's GF Selena get Punched?

Selena Gomez Punched By a Justin Bieber Fan?

 

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez has received online threats from fans who adore her boyfriend, Justin Bieber, but have haters taken things a step further?

Rumors started on Twitter Wednesday that Gomez, 18, had been punched by a fan after photos surfaced of the Disney star covering her face and what appeared to be a fat lip. The topic #sorryjustin started trending on Twitter, and in no time, word quickly spread that Gomez was hit by a jealous Bieber fan.

But Gomez's rep denies the claims, telling PEOPLE there is "absolutely no truth" to the rumors.

This all went down during a paparazzi frenzy outside of Maggiano's restaurant in L.A., where the starlet accompanied her beau for his 17th birthday dinner.

While there is still no word on what did cause Gomez's puffy pucker, one thing is for sure: she still seems smitten with Bieber.

Bruce Boxleitner and Melissa Gilbert

Looks like the prairie just got a little lonelier.

Melissa Gilbert, 46, has separated from her husband of 16 years, Bruce Boxleitner, 60, a rep for the actress confirms.

Wed in 1995 after a stormy courtship, the couple have one son, Michael, 15, named for Michael Landon, Gilbert's costar, mentor and father figure during her 9-year (from 1974 to 1983) stint as Laura Ingalls on TV's Little House on the Prairie.

Gilbert also has a son, Dakota, 21, from her previous marriage to Bo Brinkman; Boxleitner has two sons, ages 30 and 25, from his previous marriage to former actress Kathryn Ogilvy.

"We have loved each other for a very long time and we share four incredible sons together," Gilbert, a former president of the Screen Actors Guild, said in a statement. "On behalf of our family we ask to be allowed our privacy during this very difficult time."

Serena Williams looked stunning at Sunday night's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party – but, privately, the tennis ace was struggling with a serious health scare that took a dramatic turn on Monday.

Williams, 29, had been spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles several times over the past week. When contacted about the visits, Williams's rep, Nicole Chabot, confirmed.  "Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation," the rep says in an exclusive statement.

"Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A. She had been in New York for doctor appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot."

The rep added, "Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."

Christina Aguilera was arrested early this morning along with her boyfriend  in West Hollywood, TMZ has learned.  Christina was popped for public intoxication and her boyfriend was arrested for driving under the influence.



Cops say ... Aguilera was a passenger in a car driven by Matthew Rutler when officers noticed he was driving erratically around 2:45 AM ... so they pulled the vehicle over.

Officers determined Rutler was drunk and arrested him for misdemeanor DUI.

Cops say the deputies determined Aguilera was also "extremely intoxicated" ... and since she was unable to care for herself, Aguilera was taken into custody.

Aguilera was booked for public intoxication -- and according to the booking sheet, she was listed at 5'2" and 100 lbs.

According to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, Rutler's bail was set at $5,000.

However, the source adds, "If the driver had NOT been arrested for DUI, [Christina] would have never been in trouble."

Sources close to Xtina tell us they have been trying to get the singer into a rehab program for weeks.
