Charlie Sheen has a few words to say about Ashton Kutcher joining "Men."

By Anna Chan, TV Editor

 

Well that didn't take long.

 

Ousted "Two and a Half Men" star Charlie Sheen is speaking up about CBS and Warner Bros. hiring Ashton Kutcher to replace him on the hit sitcom. He shared some kind words about the younger actor to TMZ, saying, "Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer." Then he got a bit snarky.

 

"Enjoy the show, America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB," he said to the gossip site. In other words, Sheen thinks "Men's" going to lose the demographic that gave the show its huge ratings.

 

CBS and Warner Bros. announced the addition of Kutcher to the show in a statement on Friday. The 33-year-old actor won't be taking over Sheen's Charlie Harper role, but will instead be introduced as a new character, sources told The Hollywood Reporter. Insiders also indicated that the show is heading back into production ASAP and would be back in the fall.

Not a big fan of the show. Not a big fan of Kutcher (although he is a very shrewd business man)...but for some reason I think he will do very well in this role.

Matthew Perry Returning to Rehab to Focus on Sobriety

By Tracey Harrington McCoy

'Friends' star Matthew Perry is returning to rehab, PEOPLE reports. The 41-year-old actor, who has struggled with prescription pills and alcohol in the past, is returning to rehab to continue his recovery.

 

"I'm making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery," he said in a statement. "Please enjoy making fun of me on the World Wide Web."

 

Perry was in rehab twice before: once in 1997 and again in 2001. And in 2000, he was hospitalized for alcohol-related pancreatitis.

 

A source told PEOPLE there wasn't a relapse and that Perry plans to enter a facility soon.

 

The actor currently stars on ABC sitcom, 'Mr. Sunshine.'

Oh thank god. I was really afraid they were going to throw the book at her this time.

:4biggrin: Classic line.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Merciful Sentence for Theft

50 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

 

Lindsay Lohan dodged a huge bullet today -- she won't be locked up in jail ... this after pleading no contest to misdemeanor theft.

 

Lindsay's attorney Shawn Holley entered the plea a few minutes ago -- Lindsay wasn't in court.

 

Judge Stephanie Sautner said during the hearing, she doesn't believe Lindsay's problem is substance abuse, but rather her problems are more deeply rooted and she is self-medicating to relieve those problems. As a result, Judge Sautner is not requiring Lindsay to undergo substance abuse counseling.

 

Lindsay will not get additional time for the theft. She will be required to serve 120 days for her probation violation, and we've learned the Sheriff's Department may allow Lindsay to do the time at home, with an electronic monitoring device.

 

In reality, the 120 days will amount to 14 days. But during that time, Lindsay cannot leave her home, even to do community service.

 

Lindsay must complete psychological counseling and a shoplifters alternative class -- seriously.

 

Once Lindsay completes her 480 hours of community service, her probation in the DUI case will terminate, but Lindsay is now on 3 years probation for the theft -- so if she screws up again, she's screwed.

Bieber: Don't spread gossip...I'm a kid

Justin Bieber appears to be biting back after being labeled a brat by "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" star Marg Helgenberger.

 

"It's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind," Bieber, who appeared in two episodes of the popular CBS series earlier this year, tweeted yesterday.

 

As Marquee previously reported, Helgenberger claimed during a recent radio interview with Europe's Radio 1 that Bieber behaved badly on set.

 

"I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," she said. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table."

 

But Bieber may beg to differ.

 

"I know who I am and sometimes people r just going 2 say what they want. Keep ur head up and be the man ur mama raised. #killemwithkindness," he tweeted. "Rumors are just that... rumors. In the end if you just be kind and be yourself people will know who you are. That goes for anyone I think. Don't spread gossip and don't spread rumors about others... I'm a kid and I know that. #respect."

Whitney Houston in Rehab for Drug and Alcohol Treatment

By Dahvi Shira and Anne Marie Cruz

 

Monday May 09, 2011 12:25 PM EDT

 

Whitney Houston is seeking help.

 

The singer, 47, who has struggled with substance abuse in the past, has recently entered an out-patient treatment program.

 

"Whitney Houston is currently in an out-patient rehab program for drug and alcohol treatment," her rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Whitney voluntarily entered the program to support her long-standing recovery process."

 

Houston initially entered rehab in 2004, telling ABC News interviewer Diane Sawyer at the time: "I partied a lot. Trust me: I partied my tail off." But, the singer also admitted, "You get to a point where you know the party's over."

She can feed them normal...but having a name like Apple, isn't.

Yeah, an abcess- it happens, sometimes even when you do everything you're supposed to do. I have enough reasons to dislike Goopy - I don't hold this against her.

 

Thanks. But damn... really wanted to take away Mom of the year crown from her.

 

Don't worry...I'll still snatch it. :4biggrin:

 

Maybe Fishsticks caused the abcess? With that Macro-Bio diet bull sh*t...but I prefer the Holier than thou attitude is causing poor little Apple to grind her teeth.

Report: Jennifer Hudson angers Oprah

 

Oprah may have been laughing on camera, but behind the scenes, she was reportedly pretty steamed at Jennifer Hudson. The former "Idol" contestant was supposed to perform on "Oprah," but according to a clip from "Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes," she was very, very late for the scheduled taping.

 

The reason? According to realityblurred.com, JHud left Chicago after rehearsal and headed to Dallas for a private party without telling anyone.

 

Realityblurred reports that Oprah was so displeased, she gave a "smackdown" to the singer after she finally arrived hours late, thanks to an ice storm.

 

Tim Gunn, who was also a guest that day, was present for the drama and lightened up the situation with a few laughs.

"Everything in my life that's good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it."

Aaaaaand this is why I hate Gwyneth Paltrow. Born on third base and think you hit a triple much? I have no doubt she works hard, but PLEASE. When Michael Douglas pulls strings to get you into UCSB (I mean, seriously....UCSB?), you do NOT get to act like you are a self-made woman. When you get your start in acting because your mother arranges for you to play the young female lead in a summer-stock production in which she is the star, you do not get to act like you are a self-made woman. When you go to Spence, you do not get to act like you are a self-made woman. When you can spend thousands an hour on a personal trainer like some of us spend $4 on a latte, you do not get to act like you are a self-made woman. It's not charming to be so clueless about the struggles that the vast majority of people endure to attain half what was handed to you on a silver platter. It's ignorant. It's narcissistic. It's monstrously self-involved.

 

Damn, I'm crabby today.

 

Brilliant.

I don't know. I guess I don't hate her as much as everyone else does. I've kind of liked her in the movies I have seen; I really like her character in "Iron Man."

 

Yes, she has had many advantages in life, but she acknowledges that, and I think she has a point about making something out of what is handed to you. I have not read any interviews with her where she claims to have overcome all kinds of obstacles. My impression is that if she were not a famous actress married to a famous rock star, she would be one of those driven, yoga moms at school who somehow find the time to volunteer for everything, be super-fit, have a spotless house and still are relentlessly perky and put-together in that "Oh, this? Oh, it's just the only thing I had to put on this morning that was clean!" way. All of this can be extremely annoying to the rest of us, which might be why she engenders so much hatred.

The problem is that she is her own worst enemy. She has this disconnect with the audience and she doesn't realize that this the case when she does interviews or promotes a website. She puts her personal life out there...and she doesn't think there will be some criticism? It would be interesting if she had a website that details her running of a non-profit organization or charity...that would be kinda cool. Or maybe cooking recipes that aren't kinda elitist.

 

She probably shouldn't be talking. Her talks usually begin with her complaining about something, (English people are better than Americans) or discussing her life as if she is really, really, is that interesting(someone should tell her...uhhh....she's not). She just doesn't get it. We don't like our celebs to talk about themselves and what makes them so great or the daily "struggles" they have to persevere. Unless she's telling the story of living in a car with in Hollywood...trying to go to auditions, for that big break. She's torpedoing the illusion that celebs are relatable to the average person. You don't tell the audience how down to Earth you are, how people are unfair to you, or reveal your "stressful" schedule on a website about YOU, living the life of a celebrity...You don't talk about how hard you work...YOU SHUTUP AND SHOW IT THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS.

 

All of that...and your name your kid Apple....c'mon...Apple?

Gwyneth Paltrow: 'I Worked My Ass Off' for Happiness

By Nicki Gostin Posted Apr 14th 2011

 

There are people who love the force of nature that is Gwyneth Paltrow -- working mom, actress, cookbook author, lifestyle guru, distributor of GOOP -- and there are those who absolutely hate the girl. The Oscar winner, 38, is here to deliver her theory on naysayers: folks are "pissed off" because she's driven and unafraid of change, while they're not. "It's easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out," she tells PopEater. "Everything in my life that's good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it."

 

That life of hers is good indeed, and in our full chat, Mrs. Chris Martin reveals she's still "mulling over" a music career after a recent bout of hit-making, talks about her inspiration for writing the new cookbook 'My Father's Daughter,' and has a few laughs about recent rumors hitting the tabloids: 1. She hooked up with 'Glee's' Matthew Morrison, and 2. She's pulling an Oprah and starting a magazine.

 

"Matthew's become a really good friend of mine," she admits. "It's funny, the press likes to write things. They say I'm starting a food magazine but it's like, the truth is I don't have time to get a blow dry, how am I going to start a food magazine?"

 

Okay, seriously, do you do anything but cook? It sounds like that's all you do.

On a normal day that's what I do. I'm always making at least two meals a day. If I'm home and in my London routine with the kids and dropping them off at school that's what I do. There are definitely days when I don't cook, but I cook a lot. I like doing it. It's very grounding and kind of relaxing for me.

 

Were you always interested in cooking?

No, not really. I started cooking with my dad when I was like 18, 19 years old. I was going to college in Santa Barbara and coming back into LA a lot and we started cooking together and got super into it. We would watch the Food Network together or call each other, "Oh I learned something so cool," because we were starting really from the beginning and had to learn all the basics. It was such a connection point for us. It's weird sometimes when I'm chopping I'll feel him behind me. I feel his presence, the love.

 

It's so important to cook with kids as you say.

Absolutely, and that's one of the reasons I wrote the book, [to] try to inspire people to make easy food at home, which is better for you. Kids really need to know what they're eating. They need to be interested in food. You determine your health by what you put in your body.

 

So, there is a contingent of people who are for some reason irritated by you. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Uh huh.

 

Why do you think that is? I have my theory, but I'll say afterward.

My theory is twofold. I think there's a part of me that because I think I do a lot, I think my work ethic is the reason why I'm successful. I think that a lot of people don't want to put in effort and it's easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out. [They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that. Everything in my life that's good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it. I also think, for example, like Mario Batali used to make fun of me all the time if I had soy milk in my coffee or if I was doing a cleanse or something. He used to grill me like, "Oh what are we eating? Squeezed out asparagus and seaweed?" And now he's the one doing a cleanse and having almond milk. I think people mistake me trying to be the best version of myself for me telling them you're not, or they just think well, what does that make me then, you annoying f**king person on the soapbox. But I can't please everybody, all I can do is focus on the people who seem to appreciate what I do and put into the world. I'll just do what I'm doing because, especially now, we live in a world now where everybody is able to express their opinion.

 

And anonymously.

Yeah, which almost sort of rules out the opinion. If everyone has an opinion then no one has an opinion. Ultimately, it's not about me.

 

It's about themselves.

Exactly. It's a projection. Sometimes if I hear of something really unkind or somebody's really misunderstood me or something like that for a second I'll be like, "Oooh wow that hurt," but almost immediately I'll be like, "poor guy." What state are they in that they're seeing that or projecting that.

 

Can we talk about...?

What's your theory?

 

Oh, that people are jealous. I know I'm going to sound like a suck up, but you're gorgeous, have a great career, two beautiful children, married to a big rock star. It all looks so effortless. You're well spoken. It just rubs people the wrong way. You look perfect.

It's funny because I'm so not. Of course, some of it is luck. My parents had money and they sent me to a good school, but it's like, what do you choose to do with that? You can rely on that and not do anything with it or you can say, "How am I going to justify that good fortune? How am I going to say my parents didn't waste their money on me?" I just think I'm really all about hard work and I honestly feel like anyone can have or do what they want as long as they put their mind to it.

 

When you admitted you had the baby blues (after the birth of son, Moses), it really went a long way.

It's weird because I'm as insecure as anyone. I know I don't project that but I am.

 

[Gwyneth interrupts the conversation to speak Spanish to someone.]

 

See that! You just spoke Spanish beautifully and I can barely say gracias.

(Laughs)

 

Can we please talk about your new career? Hello Miss Singing Superstar!

It's been really fun.

 

Now you want to announce that you're divorcing and marrying Matthew Morrison right?

Is that what they're saying?

 

Oh, I don't know, an affair maybe.

That's hilarious. I'm definitely not declaring that. I'm lucky -- [Gwyneth talks to her daughter Apple.] -- I have to do a tiny bit more work. How's your tooth? Let me see.

 

Apple had a tooth pulled. She had an abscess.

 

Ouch.

Anyway Matthew's become a really good friend of mine. It's funny the press like to write things. They say I'm starting a food magazine, but it's like the truth is I don't have time to get a blow dry, how am I going to start a food magazine? It's like I was out, I was out at a dinner with six people. They have to fill up all these pages. You know what? You'll see me out for dinner with Matt Morrison again, he's a great friend. I adore him. You have to just live your life.

 

Does Apple think you're the coolest thing ever for being in 'Glee'?

Um, I'm not sure. Apple, do you think it's cool I'm on 'Glee'?

 

Apple: Uh-huh.

 

Well it is cool.

It is cool. I love it.

 

You're doing an album now, right?

I have not decided. I haven't figured out if I'm going to do that or not. I'm just mulling it over. I would like to. I'm just in a thinking-it-all-over phase.

 

I'll let you go. I think Apple needs you.

I know, I'm sorry!

Evan Rachel Wood Dates Both Sexes

By Dahvi Shira

Monday April 18, 2011 06:20 PM EDT

 

Facebook Tweet Evan Rachel Wood isn't necessarily looking for the man of her dreams.

 

The Mildred Pierce star, 23, would be just as happy if the right woman came along.

 

"I'm into anything," Wood tells Esquire magazine in its May issue. "Meet a nice guy, meet a nice girl..."

 

In the public eye, she's only dated men, but Wood – who was briefly engaged to shock-rocker Marilyn Manson – has experience with the same sex, as well.

 

Asked if she dates women, she answers bluntly, "Yes." As for what she's like in a same-sex relationship, Wood says, "I'm more kind of like the guy when it comes to [dating] girls. I'm the dominant one … I'm opening the doors. I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic."

 

And Wood takes pleasure in her enigmatic persona. "I think I'm a little controversial," she says. "I just try and keep some mystery, so hopefully people can't really put their finger on it."

Kings of Leon accept 'Glee' creator's apology

 

Following a heated war of words, Kings of Leon and Ryan Murphy are back in tune now that the band has accepted the "Glee" creator's public apology.

 

"We don't hold grudges," frontman Caleb Followill tells Rolling Stone.

 

As Marquee reported in January, Murphy lashed out at the music group for refusing to let his cast sing "Use Somebody" on the show.

 

"F— you, Kings of Leon,” he said. "They're self-centered a-—s, and they missed the big picture. They missed that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument."

 

Drummer Nathan Followill then suggested that Murphy "let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra," while Caleb told CNN that Kings of Leon had simply turned down Murphy's request because the band was unfamiliar with "Glee" and "Use Somebody" was being over-promoted at the time.

 

Murphy has since apologized, admitting that he was quick to judge.

 

"Who am I to say 'F— you?' That's not what I meant," he said. "I completely understand when artists don't want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. In fact, I respect it. It's their personal work and I'd feel the same way. We get turned down all the time and I don't fight it or even go back after a rejection."

 

For their part, the guys of Kings of Leon say all is forgiven.

 

"I'm glad he said something," Caleb tells Rolling Stone. Adds Nathan, "I'll just be glad when I can check my Google alerts and don't have to read anything about us and 'Glee.' That'll be a wonderful feeling."

I like him (Arquette) and I can also appreciate the honesty of celebs. But I seriously think they need to shutup. These stories might be cute and hilarious for maybe a young couple....or a celeb couple that we are all craving for intimate details of their relationship(maybe if they displayed this honesty some time back). But we know all this comes out in the midst of their major movie release that needs to make $$ (and it isn't doing so well).

 

I also throw in the factor that Arquette is now fresh out of rehab and dealing with sobriety issues, which is very serious, perhaps more than Lohan since he is a Father of a little girl....and not a laughing matter. IMHO.

Again, no offense, but if you didn't listen to the interviews, then you might not get a clear view of what he's said. And though he was very funny on the show, he wasn't taking the loss of his family or his sobriety as a laughing matter. Much of it was quite sad, actually. But he seems like an upbeat kind of fellow. And the fact that Courtney is standing by him is admirable. I think the timing, which started quite a while ago, had more to do with the cheating allegations by the press then the movie release. They were on last week because of the release, but it wasn't the first time David sat in for a week on the show, and he was talking to Stern about a lot of personal stuff months and months ago. This all isn't a new thing that started last week - except for the silly Disney story.

 

None taken, BD. You are right to a certain degree, I haven't listened to this recent interview.

 

I am only coming from a place from where he has always given an honest interview on Stern. I've listened to Stern up until he joined Satellite radio, I still love him...but I don't listen as much. Arquette was very honest back then, in fact I thought he was one of Stern's best interviews.

 

However, I'm now coming from a place (where we can disagree) where I think it might be time for Arquette to clam up. I mean, he finished up a stint in rehab, separated from his wife, now raising a little daughter. His wife had said in an earlier interview that she thought he needed to grow up, which contributed greatly to their split. I would normally think that going on Stern (as great as he is)...and blabbing about your most intimate details (as Arquette did in the past) may not be a grown-up or therapeutic way of dealing with your struggles or relationship problems. Not saying Dr. Phil or Oprah are any better either...just might be time to sit down and chill on that behavior that some might consider childish...yet another brutally honest interview on Stern can be part of that. Plus it adds a comedy value to someone's serious problems...or call it satire.

 

In a nutshell, we both like Arquette. We both might only differ on how we might think his frankly honest interviews on Howard Stern could be hurting or helping his stituation.

I'm anxious for Thor. Hands down it had the best trailer I've seen this year. Women here are going nuts for that Chris Hemsworth dude...yes, having seen him...he's the real deal in person. Like a sexy, walking, tree trunk. LOL. Kenneth Branagh directed this flick, so it may have some professional credibility.

 

I will admit that the second trailer for Green Lantern released last month has improved a whole lot. The first one was hideous.

 

I think Potter probably wins this poll, since it is the final one.

What movie in 2011 are you most looking forward to seeing?

 

Write-ins are encouarged. I left off a few...Cars 2..etc.

I like him (Arquette) and I can also appreciate the honesty of celebs. But I seriously think they need to shutup. These stories might be cute and hilarious for maybe a young couple....or a celeb couple that we are all craving for intimate details of their relationship(maybe if they displayed this honesty some time back). But we know all this comes out in the midst of their major movie release that needs to make $$ (and it isn't doing so well).

 

I also throw in the factor that Arquette is now fresh out of rehab and dealing with sobriety issues, which is very serious, perhaps more than Lohan since he is a Father of a little girl....and not a laughing matter. IMHO.

It was great when Courtney showed up on Stern. David had been on all week, and it was a cool surprise. Such honesty. So unusual in Hollywood. I love that people who constantly dig for dirt on celebrities hate it when they are honest. They'd so much rather have painted David as a cheating dog, and they despise that Courtney and David set the record straight. Now they have no story, so they're lashing out. Classic.

Who is "they" and where are "they" lashing out?

 

I think BD is referring to "they" as the media. But I don't think it's the media alone that paints a picture of David/Courtney cheating alone. They do a pretty good job of doing that to themselves, her beach pictures with her shirtless co-star...as well as his rehab stint and his honesty of his dating habits when he was on Stern before. It's a case of putting too much out there. They do have a child and they both are acting like a couple of teenagers. Reminds me of the Kutchers.

Courteney Cox: Arquette wants sex too much

 

Star tells Howard Stern that estranged husband doesn't know how to fill emotional needs

 

Courteney Cox and husband David Arquette dished on their issues to Howard Stern on Thursday.

 

updated 2 hours 49 minutes ago

 

Apparently over-sharing is a common trait in the Cox-Arquette household.

 

Courteney Cox joined estranged husband David Arquette for a raunchy Thursday radio interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XM show — and shockingly revealed even more about some of the sexual and emotional problems that led to their trial separation.

 

The "Cougar Town" actress, 46, didn't flinch when Stern grilled her for details about the instantly infamous Disney World trip with Arquette — when she shut down his frisky advances.

 

"It was early in the morning," Cox explained of the incident. (The couple were in the Magic Kingdom with their daughter Coco, 6.) "This is one of our problems in our relationship. Whenever I would need consoling from David, he could not literally put his arm around me for one second without completely getting (excited)."

 

She added: "[He] was never like, 'Oh, I'm so sorry your Dad is dying. Can we f---?'"

 

Arquette, 39, interjected: "Come on!"

 

"No, that's the truth," she countered.

 

"That time I was good," Arquette said. (Her father, Richard Cox, died of cancer in 2001.)

 

"Okay, maybe that one time," Cox acquiesced. "So [Disney World] just wasn't the right time and I don't want to confuse the issue. We're going through a hard time."

 

"He should be able to console you without it having to result in sex," co-hostRobin Quivers noted.

 

"Exactly!" Cox said.

 

"I'm always ready for [Courteney]," Arquette explained. "I know I'm more in touch with what she needs now...She takes one sort of thing and she clumps it [and says] that's what happens all the time in our relationship. It's not really true."

 

As the chat progressed, Arquette got even more frank (and despairing) with Cox: "I think you're over it, baby. You just need to admit it and we just need to figure out next steps."

 

"Wow, that's heavy," she said. "You can't count [Disney World] as the place where you know I'm not into you. I had just woken up. I don't think [sexual attraction] is the issue. The truth of the matter is that we love each other so much. We have such affection for each other but we are very different."

 

One thing that's not an issue for the pair, who wed in 1999: "We are not fighters," Cox said. "We probably don't get as real as we needed to as we do now. there are a lot of things that David likes to do completely the opposite things I do. I'm a homebody. David...doesn't drink anymore, he's completely sober, but he likes to go out and dance. "

 

"I don't want to inhibit him in his life," Cox explained. "He really is a very gregarious guy, he's very outgoing. I'm much more of an introvert."

 

Has Cox had sex since their announced split? "I have not had sex," she insisted.

 

She also added that she's not romantically involved with any of her "Cougar Town" costars (despite speculation about flings with Josh Hopkins and Brian van Holt). "They really don't want to get involved in this mess. These guys actually really like David, and I'm also Executive Producer of the show, it's kind of an awkward thing."

 

During her sexy-looking St. Bart's getaway with Hopkins, she said, "I was a little surprised, to be honest with you, that I didn't get hit on at all. I think [my costars] like David too much and it's too weird of a situation."

Lindsay Lohan on Betty White's Randon Slam: "Wow"

Today 3:42 PM PDT by Natalie Finn and Katie Rhames

 

Getting slammed by the nicest Golden Girl has got to feel pretty weird.

 

"Wow," Lindsay Lohan said exclusively to E! News in response to Betty Whitetelling London's Daily Mail that she "cannot stand" celebs like Lohan and Charlie Sheen.

 

"I've always been a fan of hers," Lohan continued. "It's just a bit strange when people feel they must speak publicly about others. Especially a grown woman."

 

Ooh...burn?

 

No, not really. Lohan genuinely seemed rather perplexed by why White seemingly name-checked her out of nowhere.

 

White's comments, according to the Mail's article, appeared to come after she was asked her opinion about "today's celebrities."

 

"They party too much, don't learn their lines, are unprofessional and they grumble about everything," the Emmy winner said (supposedly with "eyes flashing," per the report).

 

"I think they are terribly ungrateful. I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in showbusiness, and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, for example, although there are plenty of others, too. They are the most blessed people in the world and they don't appreciate it."

 

Seems kind of harsh for the usually more discreet actress, whose insults tend to come out in the form of jokes told at award show podiums.

 

"She is such a wonderful one," White said at the SAG Awards, referring to her Proposal costar, Sandra Bullock. "Isn't it heartening to see how far a girl as plain as she is can go?"

 

Sheen, surprisingly, has not tweeted or otherwise issued a reaction to White's comments.

 

Lohan had nothing to say on Sheen's behalf, but she is apparently a fan, having tweeted yesterday: "'Youre with a winner, you wont regret this'"-charlie sheen as bud fox in Wall Street (winner-winning!) made me laugh lol."

Lindsay Lohan 'in talks' to play Sharon Tate

 

Lindsay Lohan playing the victim? Celebrity photographer Tyler Shields is hoping to make it happen.

 

Shields has confirmed to CNN that he’s directing a film about Charles Manson called “Eyes of a Dreamer,” in which he’ll star as the murderer himself.

 

According to Shields, he’s currently “in talks” with Lohan to play the role of Sharon Tate. Although no deal has been made, Shields added that he thinks Lohan is the right actress for the job, telling CNN that "she would be great" in the role.

 

 

He explained to Entertainment Weekly that her very public ups and downs are part of the appeal. "Sharon Tate was a movie star,” he told EW. “So I want [an actress who] you already have a backstory with. People have a backstory with someone like Lindsay. And I think it’s very relatable.”

 

Well, she did say she was ready to get back to work again, but no word yet if Lohan will take the job.

'Glee' creator regrets his Kings of Leon outburst

'I didn't speak with as much clarity as I would have liked,' Murphy says

LOS ANGELES — Ryan Murphy's feud with Kings of Leon has taken on a life of its own since the "Glee" creator labeled the band "self-centered a--holes" and said "F--- you" for refusing to license their music to his TV show.

 

"I didn't speak with as much clarity as I would have liked," Murphy said on the set of "Glee" Friday, referring to his initial comments in January.

 

"Who am I to say 'F--- you?' That's not what I meant. I completely understand when artists don't want a show or another artist to interpret their songs. In fact, I respect it. It's their personal work and I'd feel the same way. We get turned down all the time and I don't fight it or even go back after a rejection."

 

"I didn't speak with as much clarity as I would have liked," Murphy said on the set of "Glee" Friday, referring to his initial comments in January.

 

..Murphy noted that he was recently turned down by Icelandic singer Bjork. "She read the scene and didn't think it was the right fit for her song," he said. "I told her, 'That's completely cool,' and she said to come back to her down the road. We deal with that every day."

 

Last month, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl sided with Kings of Leon, whom Murphy had chided for "missing the big picture: that a 7-year-old kid can see someone close to their age singing a Kings of Leon song, which will maybe make them want to join a glee club or pick up a musical instrument."

 

Said Grohl: "It's every band's right... F--- that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee."

 

Grohl's words evidently stung Murphy, a Foo Fighters fan.

 

"I've never felt that if you don't give 'Glee' your music, there's something diabolical about you," said Murphy. "To the contrary: I support artists and what they choose to do... I think Kings of Leon are cool as s---. The Foo Fighters are brilliant. We'd love to do one if their songs, if they were ever interested. But if it's not their thing, then OK."

 

Lesson learned? "Don't say f--- you to someone in the press," Murphy cracked.

 

But on a more serious note, he added: "I'm really proud of the fact that we can introduce songs to younger kids or their parents because I'm the biggest music fan. The show is about the love of performing and arts education — things I think are very special."
