Don’t Hurt Yourself, Charlie!

Actor Charlie Sheen has finally admitted that he was “hurting himself” with his crazy behaviour.

Sheen made waves in the entertainment industry and amongst his fans last year with wild antics that included his three-way relationship, partying with prostitutes, a nationwide roadshow, and his assertions that he was “winning” with his “tigerblood”.

His actions resulted in him being fired from Two and a Half Men in March 2011. However, his conduct did not disturb his career, as he was soon case in Anger Management. He believes it was easy for him to return to the business because his behaviour wasn’t “that bad”.

He said, “I just don’t feel like I’ve done anything that was that bad. I was hurting myself, mostly…so I wasn’t begging to be let back into the party covered in somebody else’s blood.”

He is grateful that it seems that his fans have stuck by him. He says it’s because they appreciate his willingness to recognise his faults.

We think they’re just waiting anxiously for the moment when his tigerblood can no longer boil under the surface.

A Ban from Impure Thoughts?

British star Russell Brand has said he banned himself from thinking about sex and from impure thoughts while he was filming Rock of Ages.

The 37-year-old actor said he thought his character, Lonny, was “unsexy”, and to get into character, he needed to adopt this perspective. However, he admitted that it wasn’t easy: “Your mind is predetermined to think sexy thoughts,” he told the Daily Mirror.

Filming has ended, and he has thrown himself back into the dating scene. He is single at the moment, but he is dating, he said, adding, “You know that sort of dating where you can do what you like?”

Yeah, even if that means dating Emily Hartridge, who apparently looks just like his ex-wife Katy Perry.

Sounds to us a bit like he’s one of Charlie Sheen’s loyal fans…

Lindsay in Another Tight Spot…

Actress Lindsay Lohan simply seems to be lost without a sensational headline declaring her latest misdemeanour…

The star is apparently being sued for 16,000 British pounds after a paparazzi filed a lawsuit claiming she slammed into him with her car in 2010.

Although we think his injuries should surely have healed after two years, she really does not need this additional stress in her life, as she is already facing legal troubles after her Porsche smashed into a truck in California recently.

The paparazzi, a photographer named Grigor Balyan, apparently filed the lawsuit in January. He claims Lindsay struck him with her car while he was taking photos of her outside a Los Angeles nightclub. He is suing for medical expenses, general damages, lost wages, and property damage.

We suspect he might have been trying to snap one of those elusive pantiless shots or something, so he may have gotten what he deserved…

Rihanna at Breaking Point?

Reports say that singer Rihanna is reaching “breaking point” after months of crazy partying. Doctors apparently fear for her health, as she is physically and mentally exhausted, while other experts say her Twitter posts show that she may be suffering from a mental disorder, particularly narcissistic personality disorder – in other words, she needs attention and admiration all the time. (Um…don’t all celebrities suffer from that? *confused*)

According to The Daily Star, a friend said Rihanna was “feeling lost”, and “needs some help and some time off”.

If RiRi really is suffering from NPD, perhaps that is why she’s been rumoured to be spending a lot of time with a certain someone who … ahem … beat her up once…

Graeme’s Big Penis? And We Want to Know, Why?

Proteas cricketer Graeme Smith’s wife Morgan Deane is apparently very pleased with her hubby, in  more ways than one.

Deane, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s first child, bragged on Twitter about an aspect of her husband’s physique that, let’s be honest, most people don’t want to know about anyway…

Morgan allegedly tweeted, “Baby @GraemeSmith49 I’ve gotten a hold of this book for u,it should solve your problems [sic]”. Along with the tweet, she posted an image of the book How to Live with a Huge Penis.

Let’s hope for Graeme’s sake she wasn’t poking fun at a reality…

‘We Believe You Should Pay’

R. Kelly is in hot water with the federal government in the United States over unpaid taxes.

The ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ singer has never been far from controversy in the past, so it is not surprising that he finds himself in more trouble.

According to TMZ, Kelly owes roughly $4,848,072.71 in taxes to the government for the period from 2005 to 2010.

Kelly is reportedly working with government officials to sort things out, with a source close to the singer telling TMZ: “R. Kelly is in the process of working everything out with the government and is confident that all his obligations will be satisfied.”

Wonder if he will attempt to fly away?

What A Bum-mer!

Controversy struck the entertainment world on Wednesday following the release of an alleged naked picture of Kim Kardashian.

The picture was believed to have been released on to the internet by the reality star’s boyfriend Kanye West.

However, porn star Amia Miley insists the picture is actually of her and told TMZ that it was taken some years ago.

Kanye West has since denied ever releasing the picture, so this kind of makes sense, but you can make up your own mind from the pics above.

Is it too much to ask that we see conclusive proof, with both Kim and Amia posing naked together?

Strong Arm Of The Law

Lance Armstrong has always tried to live his life far away from controversy, but it now appears that he is caught smack bang in the middle of a drug scandal.

The Tour de France legend has been banned from competing in competitions by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, allegedly due to his involvement in the distribution of illegal substances in the past.

Armstrong is clearly angered by the allegations and has hit out at his ban.

He said in a statement: “I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one.

“That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence.”

We are struggling in the office to believe that Armstrong would cheat…

Kanye Believe It, West Was Robbed!

Kanye West is a victim of crime after his home in Los Angeles was broken into.

Luckily the rapper was not at home at the time and according to reports very little was actually taken.

TMZ broke the news on Wednesday and revealed that the police are currently looking into the matter after dusting down the house for fingerprints.

Is it possible that Kanye had nothing worth stealing?

Poor Television Service – Yes. Swearing – No!

The SABC has been reprimanded after a presenter used foul language during a live airing of the SA Music Awards earlier this year.

Several complaints were lodged with the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of SA (BCCSA) against the public broadcaster and presenter Unathi Msengana.

Msengana said introduced the night’s two-time award winner AKA as “motherf*cker” on April 30, 2012.

Viewers lodged complaints expressing their disgust at the offensive language.

The complainants argued this was inappropriate as there were children in the audience.

In a BCCSA hearing on May 24, the SABC said because of previous experiences where artists had used unacceptable language, it had gone into great detail to brief organisers to prevent a recurrence.

“Unfortunately this incidence of foul language then involved a presenter”, it said.

The SABC apologised and said though Msengana was not part of its channel staff, appropriate disciplinary steps had been taken against her.

Msengana explained her actions by blaming an unknown director/producer of the show for altering the SABC-approved script before going on air.

She had apologised for her “inadvertent transgression of the code”.

The BCCSA found that the use of the word, in a live broadcast, which was reasonably expected to be seen by children, was found to be grossly offensive.

It officially sanctioned the SABC, but no fine was issued.

The commission, however, warned that future transgressions of the code would likely not be regarded as inadvertent.
