'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Stars Come to Aid of Charlie Sheen

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"' Adrienne Maloof-Nassif and Dr. Paul Nassif got caught up in real-life drama early Thursday morning. The Beverly Hills plastic surgeon got a wake-up call from neighbor Charlie Sheen's residence.

"We did receive a call from Charlie's house this morning, asking for medical assistance and advice," the couple told People. They "immediately insisted the caller dial 911. Dr. Nassif also immediately called 911."

The "Two and a Half Men" star was taken by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital on Thursday morning due to severe abdominal pain, his rep told ET.

"As longtime friends, we are obviously very concerned about his well-being," the reality TV stars added to People. "Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family right now and we wish him a speedy recovery."

The first installment of a two-part reunion of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" airs tonight on Bravo.

Katy Perry, Russell Brand Shop at a Baby Boutique

Katy Perry and husband-to-be Russell Brand are hardly trying to squash those pregnancy rumors.

On Sunday, the two - who got engaged on New Year's Eve in India, as UsMagazine.com first reported - scoped out booties at a children's boutique in North London.

Though known for posting quirky messages on her Twitter page, Perry, 25, also has been making a lot of pregnancy references lately.

"Let me tell you 2010 is BUMPIN!" she wrote Jan. 1. On Jan. 8, she also wrote: "Hey @rustyrockets" – Brand's Twitter name – "i heard ur prego-ed."

She added, "I WANT IN AND OUT," a Southern California burger chain, before telling Brand, 34, "I love you … (awwwww barf!)."

Li Na Quips Her Way To The Australian Open 2011 Finals - Video

Ninth-seeded Li Na, world No. 11, has never made it past the quarterfinals of any Grand Slam event since turning pro in 1999, so expect to hear her characterized as an upstart for her run to the finals at the Australian Open 2011. It's a remarkable feat, to be sure: She upset No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki to get there, and no Chinese tennis player has ever reached the finals of a Grand slam tourney. Should she emerge victorious, however, viewers will be treated to a more intangible benefit: The lady interviews like Novak Djokovic.

Li won our allegiance with her calm assessment, after beating Victoria Azarenka, that she won "because I'm better." Asked to clarify by Chris Fowler, she deadpanned, "It's true, right?" Her on-court interview following the semis more than lives up to that promise:

We can't pick a favorite answer, between the spirited imitation of her snoring husband (and coach) keeping her up the night before the match and her calm reply of "prize money," when asked what got her through the match. There's just something about this girl that makes you want to be her best friend. Last shot: Li signing the camera, walking off the court and into hearts all around the world.

This is shaping up to be the most bizarrely likable finals field in any Grand Slam tourney in recent memory, but it's going to be hard to pull for any combo of winners but Li and Djokovic. The pressers that would ensue could produce enough material to keep us writing and laughing all the way to Roland Garros.

Antonio Cromartie Is Ready To Fight Matt Hasselbeck (On Twitter)

After Jets CB—and America's foremost fertility expert—Antonio Cromartie drew the ire of several players with his comments on the NFL's labor situation, he took to Twitter to explain himself. Or, more accurately, to explain he doesn't have to explain himself to anyone:

I don't give a who about Ray Lewis or @ddockett talking about what I said. There's 10's of thousand ppl who will lose jobs. They taking our healthcare away and for players that have surgery can't even get rehab once March 3rd gets here.

This after Hasselbeck tweeted: "Somebody ask Cromartie if he knows what CBA stands for." So what does Matt Hasselbeck have to say about this? His response is after the jump.

And let me be the first to say: LAME. WEAK. POSTIVELY CUTLER-ESQUE. Come on, Matt. We don't ask much, but if Twitter's going to become the new millenium's version of rap battles, then the least you can do is play along.

Sorry for the joke man?

DB's and QB's have a hard time getting along I guess?

Lol?

Heh, cute. Now get that friendly horses**t out of here. In Cromartie's words, "Be a man about it." Or even better, take a page from Cromartie's book and be an insane man about it.

Did you miss the part where he said he wanted to smash your face in? And if you're going to question someone's intelligence, it's bad enough to delete the tweet and pretend it didn't happen. It's even worse to act like "oh, it was just a silly joke!" It wasn't. Or, even if it was a joke, it's too late.

As Slim Charles once said in The Wire, "If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie." And as Antonio Cromartie once said in Hard Knocks, "I got Alonzo, who is five. I have, um, Carris who is three. I have my junior which is three. I have a... My daughter, who just turned three, as of yesterday. I have another son named Tyler. He turns three in December. I got another daughter that was born October 16, named London. 'Nother daughter that was born named LeLani, who is, uh, two years old. And I have my newborn, with my wife. Her name is Jersey."

See, Matt? There's ample fodder this Twitter War to escalate until Cromartie brings up your sister-in-law and/or the NFL steps in, but you just ruined it. "No hard feelings"? Pfft. Thanks for nothing, Matt.

Dwyane Wade Says Phil Jackson Is Jealous, Wants To Coach The Heat

Phil Jackson is the kind of guy that likes to fire shots at different people just because he can. He wasn't afraid to drop his two cents in earlier this season when the Heat were struggling, earning a rebuke from Stan Van Gundy. Dwyane Wade noticed all that too, and since Jackson has said this is supposedly his last season with the Lakers, Wade decided to fire back in an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols (click the video).

"I think he wants to coach the Heat when he's done with the Lakers. It's all an angle to get over here. He wants to coach us."

I don't recall Jackson ever bashing the Lakers in the late 1990s, so Wade's theory obviously doesn't hold water. But here's the more pertinent question: was Wade kidding?

Watch the video again. Sure, Wade is smiling, but it's not like he's laughing out loud. At the end, he breaks out a bit, but normally, when someone jokes about something, they follow up with a serious answer so that nobody thinks they're misinterpreted. That didn't happen here, which means Wade may actually think Phil is coming next season. Which only means one thing - there's some foul play and collusion going on here!

(OK, he's clearly kidding. I just wanted to have some fun).

Charlie Smoked Cocaine, Critiqued Porn Before 911

Charlie Sheen was smoking cocaine while he critiqued porn on his TV set for hours before the 911 call ... TMZ has learned.

Sources who were present at Charlie's house during his 36-hour party tell us ... after a man delivered a briefcase full of cocaine to the house early Wednesday morning, Charlie pulled out a small green pipe and started smoking cocaine continuously ... for hours.

There are many wild details, but we're told eventually Charlie ended up in his theater room with one of the porn stars with whom he was partying. They watched 3 hours of porn, as Charlie critiqued the action on the screen.

We're told Charlie, who fancies himself as a porn connoisseur, was questioning his companion about angles and body shots. We're told the porn star was "surprised" by the depth of Charlie's knowledge.

UPDATE: The 911 call was reportedly made by Sheen's neighbors -- "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars Dr. Paul Nassif and wife Adrienne Maloof-Nassif ... after the couple received a call from someone in Charlie's house advising them of the situation.

Charlie Sheen's Bender -- 'Briefcase' Full of Cocaine

Charlie Sheen had a "briefcase full of cocaine" delivered to his home -- and was using large amounts of the drug during the 36-hour bender that landed him in the hospital ... this according to a source inside the house.

We're told Sheen had several people inside his home during the 36-hour span that started Tuesday night -- including 2 porn stars, a business associate, and several other women.

After hours of drinking, we're told a person showed up to the house with a designer "briefcase" -- that contained multiple "bricks" of cocaine.

We're told Sheen immediately began doing the drug for several hours.

Sheen was eventually hospitalized early Thursday morning for "severe abdominal pain."

Sheen's rep, Stan Rosenfield, tells TMZ, "I can't comment because I have no idea if it's true. You choose to believe your source. I don't."

Charlie Sheen -- Partying with Another Porn Star

One of the women partying with Charlie Sheen before he was hospitalized was a porn star named Kacey Jordan ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the situation tell us when Jordan arrived to Sheen's place -- the actor told her he was a huge fan and had been "searching for her for a year."

We're told 4 other women were at Sheen's home when Jordan showed up -- and Sheen's shirt was stained with wine.

We're told Jordan left Sheen's home on Wednesday afternoon -- but Charlie was "still partying" as she walked out the door.

As TMZ first reported, Sheen was hospitalized early this morning with "severe abdominal pains."

She's made a TON of cash in the last few years -- but Snooki claims she's never written a real check before in her life ... and now she's gonna exploit the hell out of her bank ignorance on her upcoming spin-off.

It's just another one of the jewels we discovered in the rundown of Snooks' new show -- "Snooki and Jwoww Vs. The World" ... yes, that's the actual working title.

According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, one of the big scenes takes place inside of a Jersey bank, when Papa Snooki tries to teach the 23-year-old how to fill out a check book.

When Snooki ... who's reportedly banking $30k per ep ... finally opens her first checking account -- she asks the banker, "Do you have any blinged out checks?"

The rundown explains, "She gets a crash course in balancing her checkbook ... but adding and subtracting from the ledger proves too much for her."

As TMZ first reported, sources close to the project tell us Travolta is in serious negotiations to play the role, but he hasn't signed the contract yet.

And, as we reported, producers are eyeing James Franco to play Junior Gotti.

As soon as the auction went live -- Victor tells us emails came pouring in from "all over the world" ... with several people asking if he would be selling Ted's original "Golden Voice" sign as well.

Victor says he couldn't find that iconic piece of cardboard -- but he DID find several other signs Ted used on the street ... and plans on putting them up on the auction block ASAP.

Kristen Stewart Being Courted To Play ‘Snow White’?

Kristen Stewart has battled vampires and hung out with werewolves on the big screen – but is she any match for an Evil Queen and her poison apple?

According to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, the “Twilight Saga” star is in talks to play Snow White in the Rupert Sanders-directed “Snow White and the Huntsman.”

According to THR, a slew young Hollywood stars, including Riley Keough, Felicity Jones, Alicia Vikander and Emily Browning, have screen tested for the role of the “fairest of them all.”

AH Nation Poll: Would Kristen Stewart make a good ‘Snow White’? VOTE HERE!

Viggo Mortensen is reportedly in talks to play the Huntsman and Charlize Theron is also reportedly in talks to play the Evil Queen.

The 2012-due movie is a re-telling of the famous story, where the huntsman sent to kill the Evil Queen (?) actually becomes her mentor.

“Snow White and the Huntsman” isn’t the only fair project in the land of Hollywood. Relativity Media has “The Brothers Grimm: Snow White” in the works.

Universal, the studio producing the other fantasy film, was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.

Katie Couric Helps Barry Diller Escape Snow Car Crisis

“CBS Evening News” anchor Katie Couric lent a helping hand to IAC Chairman and Senior Executive Barry Diller during a snow-covered morning Thursday in New York City. Couric posted this TwitPic of her pushing Diller’s stuck Maserati out of the snow in Central Park on her way to work.

“We got out of the car and we were just making fun of him, taking pictures,” Katie told Billy Bush on “The Billy Bush Radio Show” on Thursday. The journalist was catching a ride to work from a friend when they found themselves in the traffic jam that had been caused by the billionaire’s mishap. “I guess you just had to take your Maserati out for a spin, didn’t you?” Katie admits telling Diller.

The group made attempts to move the media mogul’s vehicle, but were no match for the uncooperative conditions. “All three of us tried to push it backwards so he could move the car forward. Those cars are heavy,” she explained.

It was then that the newswoman’s friend decided to snap the picture. “I just thought it was funny. Only in New York,” Katie mentioned, quoting the famous tagline of NY Post columnist Cindy Adams.

However, Katie isn’t letting the east coast weather stand in the way of her musical dreams. She also spoke with Billy about her guest-starring role on the post-Super Bowl episode of the hit FOX series, “Glee.”

“That’s got to be in the Top 10 of cool things I’ve been able to do as a result of my job,” Katie confessed. “I am so psyched about it and it was so much fun.”

The “CBS Evening News” anchor admits to being a big fan of the show. “I’m a total ‘Gleek’; I need to go to ‘Glee-hab,’” she admitted, praising the musical show’s producers for tackling real issues which face teenagers today. “I think they’re really brave and I admire everyone behind the scenes of that show.”

Unlike past guest star Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie won’t partake in any of the show’s famous musical numbers. She told Billy that she spends most of her screen time with the show’s star villain, Sue Sylvester. “I love Jane Lynch and we had a lot of fun doing it. She is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. I could’ve used a little more face time with Mr. Schuster,” she added.

Katie has some special treats planned before her episode hits airwaves. “We brought a Flip camera to do some funny behind the scenes moments that we’re going to start posting next week, called “Glee Bits.”

Couric’s “Glee” cameo will air Sunday, February 6, on FOX, immediately following the Super Bowl.

Charlie Sheen Condition ‘Serious,’ Actor Did Not Overdose

Charlie Sheen was rushed to the hospital by ambulance early Thursday morning, and his condition is said to be “serious,” however, despite internet rumors, the actor did not overdose, nor is he in a coma, a source told Access Hollywood.

Sheen, who the source said has been partying lately, with no plans on stopping, had been vomiting during the early hours of Thursday morning and the actor was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Access Hollywood has learned that Sheen was alert and talking at the hospital on Thursday.

His father, Martin Sheen, and his mother, Janet, went to the facility, the source said.

The source told Access on Thursday afternoon that two of Sheen’s exes – ex wife Denise Richards and estranged wife Brooke Mueller (they filed for divorce in November 2010) — also went to the hospital.

As for Richards, on Thursday evening, she Tweeted her grattitude to those who reached out with messages of encouragement.

“Thank you so much for you kind and supportive messages..it means a lot …thank u…x,” she wrote.

On Wednesday night, Sheen had several people over to his home the source told Access.

A rep for the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed they responded to a 911 call from Sheen’s address at 6:35 AM PST.

According to TMZ, which first reported the hospitalization, two women left the actor’s home at the same time he was put into an ambulance en route to the medical facility. Access’ source could not confirm that information.

“He was having severe abdominal pains and went to the hospital,” Sheen’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, told Access Hollywood earlier in the day on Thursday.

Sheen’s hospitalization comes less than a day after his “Two and A Half Men” co-star, Jon Cryer, admitted he checks the Sheen news online before heading to work on the CBS sitcom in the morning.

“It’s always a little weird because like the stuff you hear is just unbelievable,” Cryer told Conan O’Brien on Wednesday night’s “Conan.” “I mean like…I’m checking TMZ, as I do everyday, to know if I have to go to work at all.”

Additionally, a little over a week ago, Nina Tassler, president of CBS’ entertainment division, told reporters they were concerned about Sheen’s recent behavior.

“We have a high level of concern and how could we not?” Tassler previously told reporters at the Television Critics Association Winter 2011 Session. “On a very basic human level, concern, of course. This man is a father; he’s got children; he has a family… but you can’t look at it simplistically.”

Tassler said Sheen understood the network has concerns, but the actor was meeting all of his obligations to the show.

“I don’t know what personal concern — what personal information has been given to him, but he certainly knows how we feel… he knows the level of concern that we have,” she said at the time. “Right now, the show continues to be as successful as it always is. Everyone is doing their job and things are continuing as planned.”

“Two and A Half Men” is currently on hiatus this week, according to TMZ.

Sheen has had several medical issues in the past several months.

On January 13, a lawyer for the actor confirmed to Access that Sheen was back at work after seeking treatment for an ear infection the day before.

Back in October 2010, authorities in New York City took him to the hospital.

Sheen’s rep told Access at the time that Sheen had “an adverse allergic reaction to some medication,” which required the hospital visit.

The Emotional Back Story Behind ‘American Idol’s’ Chris Medina

Chris Medina was the breakout star on Monday night’s audition episode of “American Idol,” as he tugged at America’s heartstrings for more than just his singing.

Chris auditioned, performing The Script’s “Breakeven,” and he brought along his beloved fiancée, Juliana Ramos, who is confined to a wheelchair following a tragic car accident. Today, Access Hollywood has new details about this emotional story.

Chris, an aspiring singer, said he fell in love with Juliana the first moment he saw her and the two became engaged in the coffee shop she worked in, in 2007.

They had planned to wed two years after getting engaged, but shortly before they could walk down the aisle, Juliana suffered a brain injury in a tragic car accident.

On the exact day they were supposed to get married, Chris shared a song he wrote for his ladylove on Facebook.

“I’m giving all I’ve got to give/To Pull You through/To set you free/More than the vow/‘Through thick and thin’/I’m living it/In your darkest hour, I will be your light,” were some of his heartfelt lyrics. Click HERE to check out Chris’ song.

According to Juliana’s MySpace page, which appears to not have been updated since December 2007, her idol is Oprah Winfrey and she is a major music fan, especially of musicals like “Rent” and “Wicked,” and Chris’ band at the time, The Green Light.

Even rocker and “Idol” judge Steven Tyler could see that Juliana remains a fan of her fiance’s music, accompanying him to the audition, where she met the judges and show host Ryan Seacrest.

“I just heard your fiance sing and he’s so good,” Steven told Juliana following Chris’ audition. “You know, ‘cause he sings to you all the time, I could tell. Love that… That’s why he sings so good – because he sings to you.”

Chris received a ticket to Hollywood, which Juliana proudly waved.

While he is heading to Hollywood to pursue his dream of singing, Chris continues to take care of Juliana, alongside her mother.

A source close to the family told Access on Thursday that the young woman “is constantly improving. Crossing milestones all the time.”

Chris’ love story touched more than America. It reached Irish rockers The Script, who Tweeted about the young man covering their song at his audition.

“Chris Medina: Not only R U a major talent but U R 1 in a billion! Stay Strong,Never waver,This world needs more MEN like U. Peace+Love,” the band’s guitarist, Mark Sheehan, Tweeted on Wednesday.

SPOILER: David Brent & Michael Scott Meet On ‘The Office’

It was a match made in sitcom heaven.

Eight years after saying goodbye to playing David Brent on the British version of “The Office,” Ricky Gervais reprised his role as Wernham Hogg’s one time general manager on Thursday’s episode of the U.S. version of the show.

Previously described as a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, the encounter between Gervais’ Brent and Dunder Mifflin’s regional manager Michael Scott, played by the departing Steve Carell, actually was a bit longer, lasting about a minute and five seconds.

The two bumbling suits encountered each other in an office building as Scott was heading into an elevator and Brent was leaving one.

After nearly crashing into one another, Brent quickly apologized.

Scott, fond of doing funny voices, imitated the Brit’s inflections and the two started up a brief conversation.

“What are you doing? Are you taking the mickey?” Brent asked

Scott explained he was not making fun of the Brit, but rather he was “working on an English character.”

After introducing themselves, Brent quickly began churning out the kind of comments that made his character intriguingly uncomfortable to watch on the British show.

Gervais recently blogged that he made the cameo as “a little thanks to Steve Carell.”

”[It was] a pleasure to work with the great man,” he added.

Tempestt Bledsoe On ‘Clean House,’ ‘Dancing With The Stars’ & Life After ‘Cosby

Vanessa Huxtable is all grown up – and she’s cleaning house!

Tempestt Bledsoe has a new gig hosting The Style Network’s home transformation reality hit, “Clean House” (taking over from Niecy Nash), and the TV icon says the job came naturally.

“[‘Clean House’ producers] had no idea that I’m really a neat freak,” Tempestt told AccessHollywood.com’s Laura “Dish of Salt” Saltman in an on–set interview on Thursday. “I hate clutter!”

Tempestt, who got her start playing Vanessa Huxtable on NBC’s “The Cosby Show” from 1984 -1992, said she is thrilled to be a part of the reality show, which helps ordinary families organize their overly cluttered – and sometimes unlivable – homes.

“I like transformative TV,” Tempestt told Laura. “This is a show where people are really helped and transformed each and every week and you can feel good about watching it…

“Every time I’ve talked to a family member that says, ‘You’ve really helped me, you’ve changed my life… You can’t replace that,” she added.

In addition to her acting/hosting talents, Tempestt has a penchant for business as well --the 37-year-old actress managed to earn a degree in finance from NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business while filming “The Cosby Show.”

“I never intended to stop [acting],” Tempestt told Laura of her decision to attend college. “I really wanted to just experience something different that was going to be of real use to me and take me into a whole other realm.

“Dr. [Bill] Cosby was so wonderful to me to allow me to go to school and work on the show at the same time,” she continued. “They made a lot of allowances in the schedule for that to happen but, of course, school was always paramount to him. So, once I expressed a desire to do that, it was done.”

While Tempestt may be following in former “Clean House” host Niecy Nash’s footsteps, she’s hesitant to follow the comedienne’s path towards competing on “Dancing with the Stars.”

“[‘Dancing with the Stars’] is terrifying to me — absolutely terrifying!” Tempestt exclaimed. “I don’t know how anyone finds the courage to do that. They go on in front of national television live and have to – oh my goodness!

“…I don’t know [if I would do the show],” she added. “That would be very nerve-wracking for me.”

Catch up with Tempestt on “Clean House” – Wednesdays at 10 PM on The Style Network.

Bret Michael's Released from Hospital after "Successful" Surgery

Poison fans take heart!

"Bret's procedure had excellent results," Dr. Mansour Assar said. "Because of the successful out come and Bret's determination, I believe he will be able to return to normal activity within weeks."

Farce about divorce in 1906 is 'The New York Idea'

As a satire about marital foibles among the privileged class in 1906 New York, Atlantic Theater Company's new adaptation of "The New York Idea" is sprightly good fun, with complex characters, witty dialogue and some very funny, often farcical scenes.

Adapted by Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning playwright David Auburn from Langdon Mitchell's 1906 play, the appealing period production opened Wednesday night off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.


While it may lack the sparkling relevance of the original turn-of-the-century production, which gently skewered the then-shocking trend among the rich favoring casual divorce, this adaptation provides a window into a historical time when American freedoms and values often clashed.

Two divorced society couples are thrown together again, as one of the men is about to marry the other man's ex-wife.

Youthful, impetuous Cynthia Karslake, (Jaime Ray Newman), a racehorse owner who divorced her first husband after a tantrum, is about to marry stodgy Judge Philip Philimore (Michael Countryman).

Meanwhile her ex-husband, John, (Jeremy Shamos) and Philimore's bohemian ex-wife, Vida, (Francesca Faridany) have suddenly converged on the judge's household, each with a secret agenda about the pending wedding.

Needless to say, comical misunderstandings ensue. Director Mark Brokaw creates an often-farcical pace, with characters frequently barging in on one another at inconvenient times. Handsome, detailed costumes and sets enhance the turn-of-the-century atmosphere.

Complicating matters is the presence of a dashing, wealthy English bachelor, played with rakish appeal by Rick Holmes, who makes a cheerfully immoral, last-minute attempt upon the affections of both women.

Faridany is a vivacious standout, as a merry divorcee with a flippant attitude toward society's restrictive conventions. As her ex-husband angrily puts it, her theory of marriage was "the New York idea of marriage. Marry for whim and leave the rest to luck and the divorce courts."

Spirited Cynthia has decided to marry the dull judge without loving him, so she doesn't fail at marriage again. Newman gives her willful character an appropriate sense of irony, amid subtle indications that Cynthia might still have feelings for John.

The men are much more traditional-minded than the women, taking a dim view of their ex-wives' casual attitudes toward their marriage vows. Warning the judge that Cynthia might well "ricochet on" to somebody else, John says gloomily, "Monogamy's as extinct as knee-britches."

Brokaw has assembled an impressive group of theater veterans to handle the supporting roles, including Patricia Conolly and Patricia O'Connell as a pair of proper dowagers; a very funny John Keating as an uppity servant; Peter Maloney as a stodgy, blustery cousin to the Philimores; and Joey Slotnick in an amusing portrayal of a briskly practical clergyman.

Although sometimes the action feels strained, particularly the abrupt ending, the clever dialogue and good-humored spirit of fun carry the day in this winning production.

Funnyman Will Ferrell is set to bring his unique brand of humor to "The Office" while guest-starring as a branch manager from the home office who proves to be just as inappropriate as Dunder Mifflin boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell).

An announcement Wednesday by NBC Universal did not specify how many episodes would feature Ferrell, who will be teaming up again with his co-star Carell from 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.'

"We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star and we turned him into a television star," said "The Office" executive producer Paul Lieberstein. "We are proud to continue 'The Office's' tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they'll see what we see: tremendous raw sexuality."

Carell has said he will not be returning to Emmy Award-winning series after this season.

Jon Cryer Checks Internet Daily for Charlie Sheen Gossip

Actor Jon Cryer joked about the situation looming around "Two and a Half Men" co-star Charlie Sheen, calling his stories "unbelievable." He told Conan O'Brien on Wednesday's episode of "Conan" that he goes on rumor patrol every morning "to know if I have to go to work at all."

Jon woke up to news a few months back that Charlie's car had been driven off a cliff. He thought, "Sure hope Charlie's okay." The co-stars reunited that day on set and Jon admitted to Conan, "[I was] checking for scratches because my mind had come up with this whole thing that he had crashed the car and then clawed his way back up the cliff."

The actor has learned to expect the unexpected from Charlie. "Normally you would not believe that from somebody," he said of Charlie's car being stolen and driven off a cliff. "But from Charlie Sheen, you believe that because that happened to him…twice."

"Conan" airs weeknights on TBS.

Chelsea Handler Leaves 50 Cent 'Heartbroken'

Chelsea Handler's break up with 50 Cent has left the rapper/actor with a broken heart.

The pair made headlines in October last year when they were rumored to be dating after they were photographed together at a club in New Orleans.

UsMagazine.com is reporting that a source said Handler, 35, dumped 50 Cent just before the holidays, leaving the 35-year-old rapper "heartbroken."

The source said 50 Cent was determined to win her back and, "spent Christmas sending her gifts, but she sent them back. She put a note on one that said, 'I can buy my own gifts.'"

Handler has denied that there was anything going on with the couple even after she tweeted an intimate photo of them cuddling in bed, with Handler planting a big fat kiss on 50 Cent.

Along side the photo she said, "I don't know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper."

But when she was asked about their romance in early January, Handler told UsMagazine.com, "People still think we're dating? No! Really?" she continues, "He's sweet, though. I love him, but we're not dating."

Handler goes on, "I don't know if I can handle him, to be honest. I like to have fun and I'm really trying to not get into anything too serious."

Yesterday we reported that Handler was seen with her rumored new beau, hotelier Andre Balazs, who has a history of dating high-profile women, from Uma Thurman to Courtney Love.

Report: Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy Are Engaged

Following the news that actress Kate Hudson and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy expecting a child, there has now been fresh speculation that the pair have also recently become engaged.

Hudson, 14 weeks pregnant, and her rock star beau Bellamy are believed to have held a secret engagement party at an exclusive London hotel on Jan. 24. Guests rumoured to have been there include Hudson's mother and Hollywood mainstay Goldie Hawn, the star having been in the country to present an accolade at the British Comedy Awards two days previously.

Hawn recently admitted her excitement at the pregnancy to Us Weekly, enthusing that "we're just all very happy ... happy for them both." Bellamy met his future mother-in-law and Hawn's partner, actor Kurt Russell over the Christmas period.

Of the engagement event itself, Contactmusic reports an insider telling The Sun newspaper "it was an intimate party. They kept their engagement secret as they wanted to celebrate with their nearest and dearest before it became public knowledge."

The pair, who've been dating for nine months, could in fact be set to make London a permanent home though. Bellamy recently told the Daily Star that he and the rest of Muse were planning to all move there in order to make rehearsing for the band's sixth album easier.

The singer commented to the paper "it'll be the first time we're all going to be in the same place since we were much younger... maybe in summer we'll start getting into rehearsing and writing."

Natalie Portman's Engagement Ring is Eco-Friendly

Natalie Portman's stunning engagement ring is just as blinding as every other Hollywood 'it' girl's, but leave it to the devoted vegan to flash an eco-friendly sparkler with an estimated value of $35,000.

Portman's ring was carefully designed by dancer-model fiancé Benjamin Millepied to include recycled platinum, an antique center stone and accenting pavé diamonds taken from a conflict-free mine, InStyle reports.

The ring was created for the couple by Jamie Wolf, a ballet dancer turned jewelry designer who collaborated with Millepied on the vintage-inspired statement piece.

"Ben was exceptionally thoughtful and dedicated and patient to make sure we had everything right," Wolf told the mag. "We wanted everything about the ring to speak to things that are important to Natalie."

Every element of the ring, from the recycled metals to the antique center stone, reflects Portman's preference for eco-friendly choices. The pavé stones' conflict-free certification means no one was hurt or treated unfairly in their mining.

Ashley Mendel Fox, a designer and vintage gem expert with New York City-based Camilla Dietz Bergeron LLC, calls Portman's ring: "a wonderful example of a classic design with a modern twist."

She explains the ring reflects a growing trend of placing antique stones in modern settings for a couple's romantic version of "something old" for their wedding day. In the case of Portman's ring, the older center stone, when combined with the new pavé stones, "really makes the ring pop."

The Oscar-nominee, expecting her first child with Millepied this summer, is known for opting out of leather shoes whenever possible and making conscious choices about what she puts in and on her lithe body. She briefly launched a vegan shoe collection that folded in 2008.

As for the meaningful ring: "I was really proud of how it turned out. It's gorgeous," Wolf told the mag. No surprise, a pleased Millepied helped his jeweler friend arrange a 'Black Swan' cameo.

'No Doubt's Tony Kanal and Girlfriend Welcome Baby Girl

Tony Kanal is officially a member of the 'No Doubt' parent club as he and longtime girlfriend actress Erin Lokitz welcomed daughter - Coco Reese Lakshmi Kanal on Jan. 24, the couple confirmed on the band's website. This is the couple's first child.

"Welcome to the world our gorgeous daughter," the 40-year-old bassist wrote. "Mom, Dad and baby are happy and in love."

While Kanal and Lokitz have been dating for a long time, Kanal also dated bandmate Gwen Stefani for seven years before the two ended the relationship during the recording of 1995's 'Tragic Kingdom.'

Kanal can rest assured that their little girl will not only have a bunch of new playmates but can be protected by the other No Doubt kids who just happened to all be boys – front-woman Stefani is mom to sons Zuma, 2, and Kingston, 4½, guitarist Tom Dumont has sons Rio, 2½, and Ace, 4½, with another baby on the way and drummer Adrian Young fathers son Mason, 8½.

No Doubt is currently working on a new album, which they hope to release at some point in 2011.

Heidi Klum Doesn't Use 'Potty Words' in Front of Her Kids

Heidi Klum's latest project 'Seriously Funny Kids' is a little like Billy Cosby's 'Kids Say the Darndest Things.' The supermodel turned super-mom's half-hour unscripted series premieres next month and will feature Klum interacting with children and bringing out the hilarious and insightful things they say.

But Klum tells PEOPLE when it comes to her own four kids, she and husband Seal don't think swearing is any laughing matter.

"When we're around the children, we really make a point in our family not to curse or say potty words," she says. "My husband and I try out best to make sure our kids are proper and have good manners."

Klum, who also co-hosts 'Project Runway' with her "other husband" Tim Gunn, admits she still swears from time to time in front of her friends. "I'm not saying I'm a saint by any means," she says. "When I'm with grown-ups and we're out, I curse sometimes and we say some inappropriate things. But when we're at home, (Seal) and I try our best to make sure our children are proper and have good manners."

Klum tries especially hard to steer her oldest daughter Leni, 6, from saying things she shouldn't be saying at her age.

"Leni will sometimes come home and say, 'What the...'" Klum explains. "And I say, 'Leni, 'What the...' isn't a sentence. It's inappropriate and you can't say it."

Diddy to Play Detective on 'Hawaii Five-0'

Detective Diddy has a nice ring, doesn't it?

The 'Sean John' mogul has snagged a guest role in a 'Hawaii Five-0' episode that will air this spring. According to the AP, Diddy will play NYPD Detective Reggie Williams, who arrives in Honolulu ready to seek justice against the men who committed a crime against his family.

The rapper will undergo weapons instruction and even train with a Navy S.E.A.L. to prepare for the part. The episode will also feature music from Diddy-Dirty Money's album 'Last Train to Paris.'

After his role in 'Get Him to the Greek' alongside Russell Brand, Diddy expressed interest in wanting to do more comedic roles. While his justice-seeking stint on 'Hawaii Five-0' might be more serious dramatic fare for the actor, he can keep developing those comedic chops at the Upright Citizens Brigade. Earlier this month, Diddy joined in on some live sketch and improv fun as the first celebrity guest on 'The Chris Gethard Show.'

Regis Philbin Not 'Retiring' from Show Business

When Regis Philbin announced his retirement from 'Live! with Regis and Kelly' last week, all kinds of rumors circulated that the veteran host was leaving over a pay cut.

But when Regis sat down with Access Hollywood, the 79-year-old opened up about the bigger, emotional struggles he faced leaving the show after 28 years.

Regis said, "I was told by everybody within the ABC structure to do this the morning of my announcement, so we all had a meeting... and I told them this was it, I was going to leave the show... I'm not going to leave right now, it's going to be at the end of the season. I saw Kelly's eyes well up a little bit and Gelman got a little white, but it had to be done... You know that's the way it was going to be, but it is a sad occasion because there has been so much time together."

Kelly joined 'Live!' in 2001, and there's been a lot of speculation about who should join the bubbly blonde at the desk after Regis retires. Regis admitted his one regret was never getting Barbra Streisand to appear on the show, but other than that, he's ready for the next step.

Is Regis really ready to say goodbye to the industry he's worked in for 40 years? "In telling everybody 'This is it, I am going to leave,' I never said that I am retiring, because everybody considers me leaving that show to be retiring in this business... and that's not the case," he said. But after 28 years of the same routine, Regis said, "Maybe it's time I walk away and hopefully do something a little different and close it all out with that."

Katie Couric Was Right! Muslim-Americans Do Want Their Own TV Show

Katie Couric came under fire this month for suggesting a Muslim version of 'The Cosby Show' would go a long way in fixing America's ignorance about the Islamic faith.

"Maybe we need a Muslim version of 'The Cosby Show' ... I know that sounds crazy," Couric said on a web version of her show, while discussing the major stories from 2010. "But 'The Cosby Show' did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think sometimes people are afraid of things they don't understand."

Critics were quick to call Couric's well-intentioned remarks simplistic and "bird-brained."

But Muslim and Arab writers, directors and actors say they see Couric's remarks as a stepping stone to tolerance and say the CBS news anchor gave them a platform they wouldn't have otherwise had to express their desire for more positive Muslim portrayals on scripted television. They're hoping her remarks will be the catalyst to make that happen.

"We want to see a typical Arab-American family that is just like every other family in America," said Arab-American comedian Dean Obeidallah, who has developed a pilot for Comedy Central. "Television has had the ability to demonize Muslims and Arabs, but we realize that it also has the ability to humanize us."

Couric's suggestion might not be as radical or as far off as her critics decried. In fact, Muslim-American writers say that broadcast and cable networks are starting to be more receptive to scripts prominently featuring both Arabs and practitioners of Islam. A decade-removed from the September 11th terrorist attacks, television may finally be ready to portray Muslim-Americans as more than terrorists and taxi cab drivers.

"Hollywood would definitely embrace a Muslim 'Cosby Show' with one caveat: It would have to be really good. It's the one factor that has linked shows about minorities like the 'Cosby Show' or even 'Will & Grace.' Currently, I believe Americans are open to any minority as long as the show speaks to universal human truths and makes them laugh," said Muslim-American Hollywood television and movie producer Tariq Jalil, the executive producer of the comedy 'Marmaduke.'

"From a network perspective, a show just needs to be socially responsible and pull in ratings. I don't think there's a single network that would turn down a good show that features Muslim-Americans as long as it brought in viewers."

Jalil says the atmosphere is right; the problem is more Muslims need to write this kind of material.

Wajahat Ali, a Muslim-American playwright and author, recently released a play about the familial drama and comedy of a Muslim-American family, called 'Domestic Crusaders,' through McSweeney's publishing imprint and has been tapped by HBO to write a pilot with bestselling author Dave Eggers about a Muslim-American police officer living in San Francisco. Ali says several theaters passed on producing 'Domestic Crusaders,' despite loving the script.

"There seems to be hesitation amongst artistic directors that the play, featuring all Pakistani-American characters, might not resonate with mainstream audiences. There is also a fear that the mere mention of a play about Muslim-Americans will generate controversy and backlash," Ali said.

But when he pitched his idea for a television pilot featuring a Muslim-American cop, HBO was very receptive.

"HBO has been great, but at the end of the day we have to acknowledge that the color that matters in Hollywood and show business is green. They need to be convinced that the story you are telling will be accessible to the mainstream audience to get their revenue," Ali said.

A Newsweek poll conducted in August showed 58 percent of Americans believe they don't know anyone who is Muslim. A television show won't entirely close that gap, but could go a long way toward making Americans feel like they know a Muslim. More than that, it could help Muslim-American children feel like their American counterparts know someone like them.

"For a Muslim-American child to see people who look like him or her, a normal family living in the U.S., will make them feel a genuine sense of acceptance. Talking to a child about the constitution and their rights will go right over their head, show them a 30-minute sitcom and they will understand tolerance, acceptance and even equality," said Linda Sarsour, director of the Arab American Association of New York and mother of three.

Playwright Aizzah Fatima, who wrote and performs the one-woman show 'Dirty Paki Lingerie' in New York City, just hopes such a program would combat the general ignorance about Islam that Couric was referring to. "Just as the Cosby show debunked stereotypes about African-Americans, so could a similar show do for Muslim-Americans. We are just like everyone else. Some of us are religious, and others aren't. We do not want to impose Islamic law or anything else on our neighbors of different faiths."

Levi Johnston Takes The High Road, Won't Bash Bristol Palin

Levi Johnston loves the limelight. Whether he's posing for 'Playgirl,' courting Kathy Griffin or vying for reality television domination, the 20-year-old Alaska native likes keeping his name in the news.

But now, according to Radaronline.com, Bristol Palin's former fiancee is "taking the high road" and keeping his mouth shut.

On Monday, Bristol didn't hold back saying that she was displeased with Levi's role in their 2-year-old son Tripp's life. The 20-year-old daughter of former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin said, "Have I asked (Levi) to change Tripp's last name? Of course. Just sign over your (parental) rights. He just doesn't want to sign them over because it looks bad on paper."

Bristol also claimed Levi has only seen Tripp "at most three times" since her elimination from 'Dancing With the Stars' in November 2010.

But Levi's manager, Tank Johnson, says his client is taking "the high road" and refusing to dignify Bristol's accusations of him being an absentee dad. In addition to his claims that his client has spent as much time as possible with Tripp, Levi's rep offered up some advice for the Palin family.

"The Palins need to take the high road," he said. "There's a child involved in this and Levi is not going to stoop to this level. The Palins like to fight. They can say whatever they want to say. But Levi is not going to dignify their comments with a response."

Levi's rep added that he will not give up his parental rights or agree to changing Tripp's last name from Johnston to Palin. "Levi has his son, and that isn't changing," he said. "It is what it is."

A source claims that despite the rumors and Bristol's radio interview bashing Levi earlier this week, two two young parents "are actually getting along pretty well just now."

Can Chelsea Handler Tame New Beau Andre Balazs?

Although comedian and E! late night talk host Chelsea Handler has a penchant for older men, her rumored new beau, hotelier Andre Balazs, may need to step up his game to keep her interest.

As the owner of hotels like The Standard, Chateau Marmont and the Mercer, Balazs has a history of dating high-profile women, from Uma Thurman to Courtney Love. But none of these relationships lasted.

"Andre likes to be seen on the arm of beautiful young stars," a source close to Balazs tells PopEater. "But he is very successful with his hotels and wine business and likes his independence. With a woman who has a mind of her own like Chelsea Handler, there could be some friction if the dalliance goes long term."

Handler was seen making out and canoodling with Balazs several times during last weekend's events at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Handler's dating life has been checkered. She spent several years with Ted Harbert, 55, president of Comcast Entertainment Group, which overseas E! and other networks. Then she had short flings with Animal Planet star Dave Salmoni and rapper 50 Cent.

Although the pair haven't officially confirmed their relationship status, friends close to the couple know it will take a lot for them to both settle down.

"He will have his hands full with Chelsea," says the source. "She is beautiful, smart and as independent as Andre. He will have to think out of the box to hold her interest if he sees it working."

Elton John Magazine Censored By 'Family Shield' in Supermarket

A Harps supermarket in Mountain View, Ark., censored an Us Weekly cover featuring Elton John, husband David Furnish and their new baby, Zachary. Deemed inappropriate for "young Harps shoppers," the store placed a "family shield" in front of the magazine.

Twitter user @jennhudd saw the censored cover and began tweeting a photo to celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, Anderson Cooper and Neil Patrick Harris, asking them to "bring attention" to the store's decision.

The Mountain View Harps responded to a call from PopEater on Wednesday afternoon with a curt "no comment" before hanging up. A call to the corporate office had us placed on hold, redirected and sent to a voice mail when asked for official comment.

CoverAwards.com had better luck speaking to Harps -- a cashier told the site Harps was "in a no-win situation" as children being shielded from the magazine cover would "have to know at some point [about gay families]."

PopEater's Naughty But Nice Rob Shuter reported that the Elton John cover sold poorly and wondered if America wasn't ready for "two men and a baby." Now he calls the censorship "very sad," asking, "We can let our families watch 'Jersey Shore' but not see a picture of Elton, his partner and their beautful baby boy?"

After originating the picture of the censored cover, @jennhudd reported the "family shields" had been removed, likely as a result of the Internet's interest in the issue. Jennifer sent a series of tweets suggesting offended parties call the Harps office and file complaints.

Elton John and David Furnish's son was born via a surrogate on Christmas Day. Zachary is the first child for John, 62, and Furnish, 48. The couple married in 2005 after being together for 12 years.

Based on Elton's recent sentiment for gay marriage opponents (hint: it involved an "F" and a "you"), we can assume he won't take kindly to being family-shielded in his moment of joy.

Artist Adds To His 'Celebrity Junk Drawer'

Jason Mecier has a new approach to capturing celebrities -- by using their trash. That's right, this San Francisco-based artist isn't just painting or drawing celebs as he sees them; he's using pieces of their garbage to create beautiful 3-D mosaics. Mecier often contacts celebs directly and asks them for a little bit of their junk to help show more of who they really are.

''I enjoy trying to match the items with the essence of each unique subject. These days, much of my material is gifted to me from friends, family, fans and, of course, the celebrities themselves," Mecier told Socialite Life.

Mecier's portfolio of trash mosaics includes Pink, Paris Hilton, Jimmy Fallon and countless others. He's even looking to do a mosaic of 'Jersey Shore' star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. That trash could be quite interesting! Check out more of Jason's art after the jump.
Mecier does get quite creative when constucting these works of art. He has become a master of using found objects.

"When I was young, I remember being mesmerized by my grandma's paintings, weaving, mosaics, sculptures, collages and stained glass work that filled my grandparents' house and yard. If she was working on an art project, she would set me up at a nearby table with a project of my own to work on," Mecier told Brand X in March.

Country Music Legend Charlie Louvin Dies at 83

Charlie Louvin, who, along with his brother Ira, influenced generations of country and rock performers from Dwight Yoakam and Emmylou Harris to The Raconteurs and Uncle Tupelo, has died from complications of pancreatic cancer. He was 83. Charlie's wife Betty, to whom he had been married for 61 years, confirmed to Nashville's WSM radio that Charlie passed away at around 1:30AM on Wednesday.

In July, Charlie announced he was battling stage 2 pancreatic cancer for which he underwent surgery at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Two of our favorite Louvin Brothers classics, 'The Christian Life' and 'The Great Atomic Power':

On Charlie's official website, his son, Sonny Louvin, reported that while his father had returned home from the hospital on July 30, "the surgery did not go as planned and he [would] begin using alternative methods of treatment going forward."

Born Charlie Elzer Loudermilk in 1927, Charlie grew up in the Sand Mountain region of Alabama, working beside his brother in the cotton mills and fields. The Louvin Brothers' distinct close harmony style developed when the duo began singing together as teenagers. They went from performing at a small radio station in Chattanooga, Tenn., to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry where they became Opry members in 1955.

Their first big hit, 'When I Stop Dreaming,' reached the Top 10 on the country charts that same year, and the duo toured with Elvis Presley as their opening act. Hits that followed included 'I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby,' 'The Christian Life,' 'You're Running Wild' and 'Knoxville Girl.' The duo disbanded in 1963, with Ira releasing a solo album in 1964. He died a year later in a car crash.

Charlie's solo career also began in 1964, with 'I Don't Love You Anymore' being his first Top 5 hit beyond the Louvin Brothers. Other hits included 'I Think I'll Go Somewhere and Cry Myself to Sleep,' 'Less and Less' and 'Off and On.'

Jessica Simpson's Controversial Workout Video May See Light of Day

An exercise video Jessica Simpson filmed six years ago may soon be released, despite a long legal battle eventually ensuring the opposite.

According to RadarOnline.com, Simpson made the tape for Speedfit but did not approve of its release, leading to a protracted court battle. Now a new owner has purchased the tape and is challenging prior rulings about its release.

"I bought rights to distribute the Jessica Simpson exercise video from Alex Astilean. My intent is to re-edit it," the buyer, Ed Meyer, tells Radar. "I believe that the NY Court's recent judgment in favor of Jessica Simpson is moot and has no teeth, and I believe that I can distribute the new video from California."

The video was filmed in 2005 and wrapped up in legal proceedings until May 2010. The ruling in favor of Simpson is a "huge hurdle" for Meyer's plan to release the tape, Radar says.

"Speedfit LLC and its owner Alex Astilean were barred from using Simpson's name and likeness to promote the video, which her team contended was not good enough to be sold," Radar reports. "Astilean was ordered to pay Simpson's business manager David Levin $50,000 for defamation.

Writing to Simpson's lawyers, Meyer now contends, "While your client Jessica Simpson believes she has a valid New York court order preventing such a contract, she actually does not."
