Roseanne also has something in common with Charlie: a strong dislike for Hollywood mega-producer, Chuck Lorre. Roseanne wrote on her blog, in a post entitled “ Chuck ’ s Hit List ,” that she, Brett Butler , Cybill Shepherd and Charlie are all “stars who lost big when working with Chuck,” adding she “was going to guest on 2 and a half men once, but when i got the script, it was putrid, so they got cam manheim to do it.” “Chuck got pissed off at me for refusing to be part of his brilliance, and insulted me in the nyt, saying that I ‘beat the wit out of him.’ Then, right after he did that, he asked me to make a videotaped presentation honoring him at a vanity dinner…” In another post, “Charlie Sheen makes me look sane,” Roseanne wrote a nice message to Charlie, suggesting he take a vacay. “ Charlie is not on drugs, though he can get them from the porn star goddesses that come and go, but his urine shows clean–i think charlie is in a manic high, and is unable to get any drugs to bring him down anymore—his tiger blood statement is from that “eye of the tiger” focus that manics have. Manics can really work hard and play hard at the same time, until they hit a wall, and then they are in bed and depressed for a long time, so they start taking drugs again to get energy to work. Charlie, take a break dude. Go to Greece, Paris, China, look at great art and lay low… ” And yesterday, the comic took to her blog to announce she deems Charlie as “winning.” “He is off two and a half men, and will hopefully get the money they owe him. No longer will he have to be publicly hated derided and humiliated by intelligent women, and perhaps one might befriend him, which would so change his life. Knowing at least one woman who is not a coke whore might be good for Charlie. They say you should try something new sometimes,” she wrote in a post entitled, “Charlie Sheen is winning, I’ve decided…” While many of her compliments to Charlie are masked with sarcasm, it looks like Charlie has at least one fellow actor to lean on!

These two crazy kids are reportedly engaged to be married. They’ve been together a whole year and only broke up once, so it’s time: On Feb. 9, during the duo’s whirlwind trip to Europe, the divorced singer, 26, e-mailed a bandmate a picture of her left hand with what appears to be an engagement ring on it – with the subject line “ha ha.” And insiders tell Star that Brody, 27, did indeed pop the question to his girlfrien of about a year. “Avril has hinted to pals that she thought Brody was planning a big surprise during their trip to France,” says an insider. “It’s just her style to be coy rather than coming out with an announcement right away.” [From Star Magazine, print edition, March 17, 2011] I’m hoping that this is just some joke e-mail Avril sent and that Star is reading too much into it. I checked both Avril and Brody’s Twitter accounts, and neither of them have tweeted anything about this and they don’t send tweets to each other either as far as I could tell. (I just skimmed it honestly and didn’t go that far back.) Last summer, we heard that Brody was “begging” Avril to do a reality show with him. He’s sort-of a Kardashian , after all. (His dad is Bruce Jenner.) Maybe they are engaged and soon we’ll be treated to the Avril and Brody show . Spare us, but you know that some TV exec would sign off on that. Avril and Brody are shown on 2/16/11, 2/13/11 and 12/7/10. You can see her left hand on 2/13 and there’s no engagement ring. Credit: WENN.com Source : Celebitchy

Whibley has contracted a nasty case of pneumonia that has him holed up in a Sydney, Australia hospital bed for, well… it looks like a while. A statement on Sum 41′s website lets fans know the band were cancelling their upcoming Australian tour dates due to Whibley’s illness. The notice also features a tiny black & white photo of Whibley, sprawled out in the aforementioned hospital bed and hooked up to a barrage of wires to prove he’s really not faking it. While we wish Whibley a speedy recovery, it should be brought to attention that this isn’t his first time calling in sick to work. Last August, Whibley faced a sneak attack in a Japanese bar that lead to a brief hospitalization. Weeks prior, some Vans Warped Tour Dates had to be scrapped while Whibley tried to get over a bout of bronchitis. Going back further, there were a slew of concert cancellations in 2005 and 2007 while the singer tried to recoup from a ruptured vocal cord and a back injury, respectively. Dude has been in rough shape for a long time and needs to start taking better care of himself, or an onslaught of those pesky celebrity death rumours will start flying again. Sum 41 are also scheduled to play this year’s Vans Warped Tour. Here’s hoping Whibley’s better in time to perform. Screaming Bloody Murder comes out March 29. Here are Sum 41′s cancelled dates: March 4 Melbourne, Australia @ Melbourne Showgrounds (Soundwave Festival) March 5 Adelaide, Australia @ Bonython Park (Soundwave Festival) March 7 Perth, Australia @ Claremont Showgrounds (Soundwave Festival) These Sum 41 dates remain unaffected by Whibley’s illness (for now at least): March 12 Valencia, Spain @ Ciudad De Las Artes Y De Las Ciencias (free) March 16 Toronto, ON @ Lee’s Palace March 18 Detroit, MI @ The Fillmore Detroit March 25 Ventura, CA @ Majestic Ventura Theatre March 26 Las Vegas, NV @ Desert Breeze Skate Park (Extreme Thing Sports & Music Festival) March 27 San Diego, CA @ House Of Blues San Diego March 29 Pomona, CA @ The Glass House May 17 Sapporo, Japan @ Sapporo Zepp May 19 Sendai, Japan @ Sendai Zepp May 20 Yokohama, Japan @ Yokohama Blitz May 21 Nagoya, Japan @ Nagoya Zepp May 23 Fukuoka, Japan @ Fukuoka Zepp May 24-25 Osaka, Japan @ Osaka Hatch May 27 Tokyo, Japan @ Studio Coast May 28 Tokyo, Japan @ Tokyo Zepp July 2 Nove Mesto Nad Vahom, Slovakia @ Top Fest July 3 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic @ Hradec Kralove Airport July 9 Knebworth, England @ Knebworth House (Sonisphere) Source : Chart Attack
