Charlie Sheen can soon start uttering unfunny Two and a Half Men quotes again.

Next week, the actor will resume shooting the terrible CBS sitcom, but there's a caveat: he'll have to return to rehab every night. There are four episodes of the show remaining to the filmed this season.

On Monday, March 15, Sheen will be in an Aspen court for his felony arraignment. He'll then go back to Los Angeles that evening, where he'll stay at a treatment center and then head to work first thing Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, insiders say Sheen is in good spirits and his doctors have given him permission to resume shooting.

As for that woman who claims to have done drugs, as well as Sheen AND Brooke Mueller... no word from her yet.

Getting to work on her new film “Bad Teacher,” Cameron Diaz was spotted on the Los Angeles set yesterday (March 9).

The “Sweetest Thing” sweetheart looked cute and casual as she milled around her trailer, sporting a grey robe while waiting for her next scene.

“Bad Teacher” sees Cameron reuniting with her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake, and Diaz says she’s thrilled to work with the “SexyBack” singer.

“We’re thrilled to have him. He’s the best person for the job. He’s going to be hilarious. He’s clearly a very talented comedian, look at his Saturday Night Live (skits). He’s fantastic, he’s going to be so great.”

Emmy-winning CBS News producer Robert 'Joe' Halderman pleaded guilty to shaking down David Letterman as payback for the host's affair with his girlfriend.

Today, Halderman admitted giving Dave a "screenplay treatment" that was "a thinly veiled threat to ruin Mr. Letterman if he did not pay me a lot of money."

In exchange for the guilty plea, the extortion plotter will receive a six-month prison sentence, 4 1/2 years probation and 1,000 hours of community service.

Outside court, he expressed his remorse for the sordid episode.

"I apologize to Mr. Letterman, to his family, to (girlfriend) Stephanie Birkitt and her family, and my family and friends," said Halderman in a brief statement.

The plea came five months after Halderman threatened to expose Letterman's affairs with several female staffers, including the blackmailer's ex, Birkitt.

David Letterman and his blackmailer, Robert "Joe" Halderman.

Letterman released a statement thanking city police and prosecutors for their help in resolving the bizarre case that exposed his fondness for staffers.

"I had complete faith that a just and appropriate result was inevitable," Letterman said. "On behalf of my family, I am extremely grateful for their efforts."

Halderman would have faced up to 15 years behind bars if he had been convicted of a bizarre blackmail scheme involving the long-time Late Show host.

David Letterman's affair with Halderman's girlfriend, Stephanie Birkitt, ended shortly before his blackmail bid, but also predated her living with Halderman.

Halderman was arrested after Letterman - in a stunning admission on air - admitted cheating on wife Regina Lasko and detailed the blackmail attempt.

Halderman actually collected a $2 million check from Letterman as part of a sting operation started after the host went to police about the shakedown.

He was busted after depositing the check in his Connecticut bank.

She’s always up for a dressy occasion, and last night (March 7) Victoria Beckham was spotted at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party.

The British fashion designer definitely showed off her passion for fashion as she dressed in one of her nude-hued gowns from her fall 2010 collection.

Always the responsible pet owner, Rachel Bilson was busy tending to her pet pooch Thurmen Mermen in Toluca Lake, California on Tuesday afternoon (March 9).

The "Jumper" cutie happened to be paying a visit to a friend's house, as paparazzi caught her toting her canine companion in her arms following the midday outing.

Still basking in newlywed bliss, Katie Price and Alex Reid were spotted doing a bit of shopping on Tuesday (March 9).

The British glamour model and her cage-fighter husband stopped by Shiekh shoe store in Los Angeles, CA with Katie picking up a new pair of kicks.

Ms Price flew to the LA last week to join Alex, who is shooting scenes for his Bravo martial arts show “The Fight Of His Life.”

On Sunday night, the 31-year-old dolled herself up and joined the many, many celebrities in attendance at Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Oscar afterparty.

Showing off her growing baby bump, Claudia Schiffer was spotted taking her son Casper to school in London on Wednesday (March 10).

The timeless beauty sported a black and white striped sweater, with her bun in the oven becoming more evident each and every day.

In your tribute-laden Tuesday media column: John Roberts in follicle change caper, Supreme Court hates reporters and death row inmates equally, Rupert Murdoch's birthday, and MSNBC is made of air.

Tectonic shift in the hirsute media landscape: John Roberts—the CNN guy, not the Supreme Court guy—has gotten himself a haircut. Photographic evidence courtesy of TVNewser, here. Will the American people trust a lantern-jawed man without a shaggy hippie haircut? Only time will tell. Related, Radar hears that the other John Roberts also got a haircut, and died.


The Supreme Court refused to change a federal policy that bans death row inmates from giving face-to-face media interviews. On one hand, you don't want murderers and terrorists using the media as a tool to advance their inhuman agendas and mock their victims. On the other hand, reporters need shit to put in their stories. So, come on, Supreme Court. John Roberts is even on CNN! Where's the sympathy?


Huzzah, Rupert Murdoch has turned 79 years of age with no ill effects! Suck it, actuarial tables. Here is a love letter to him from people to whom he pays loads of money.


A CJR cover story on cable news tells you what you already know about Fox, but also contains this interesting nugget: "In essence, MSNBC has no news operation whatsoever. It has about half the total staff that Fox employs, roughly one-sixth that of CNN, but none of these people are reporters. It is almost purely a talk network." Only CNN does "news," the end!

On cloud nine, Sandra Bullock was all smiles as she left the Oprah Winfrey show in Los Angles on Monday (March 8).

Fresh off of her Oscar triumph, the brunette beauty strolled out to her awaiting limo after chatting on the popular US talk show.

After taking home a plethora of awards already this year, Ms Bullock received the Best Actress Academy Award for her performance in “The Blind Side” last night.

During her acceptance speech, Sandra movingly thanked her mother for “reminding her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love.”

If you were like me, last night you were watching the show with plenty of questions. Why so long? Why so bad? Who is that weird red-haired lady crashing the stage? Well, we found some answers and even more questions.

Mystery: Who the hell was that red-haired lady crashing the stage during the Best Documentary Short acceptance speech?
What Happened: Some crazy lady in a purple dress pulled a Kanye and hopped up to the mic and just started talking over director-producer Roger Ross Williams. She made no sense at all.
Status: Solved. That woman was producer Elinor Burkett. She and Williams had a bitter feud over the direction of the film that resulted in a lawsuit. Salon has the full, awesome story. She accuses Williams' mother of tripping her with a cane to keep her from getting on stage. The Oscars needed a lot more of this.

Mystery: What was up with George Clooney's face?
What Happened: The silver fox was acting squirrelier than usual and making strange grimaces at the camera.
Status: Solved: As we told you earlier Clooney was drunk from his secret flask. Who knows if the faces were because he was pissed (drunk) or pissed (upset) but we venture it was a combo of the two.

Mystery: Did the Academy leave Farrah Fawcett and others out of the Dead People Montage?
What Happened: The video collection of dead people highlights seemed shorter than usual this year (if you don't count the entirely separate shout out to John Hughes who was never once nominated for an Oscar in his life) but they left several people out, like Fawcett, Bea Arthur, and Ed McMahon.
Status: Solved. Yes, it was intentional. The Academy felt that in all three instances their work didn't qualify them for inclusion, even though Michael Jackson and Brittany Murphy made the grade. They are not apologizing for skipping them either, saying every year some people must be left out. We smell Betty White's hand in this.

Mystery: Did Sandra Bullock diss Meryl Streep?
What Happened: When she got up to accept her trophy, Sandy B made a move toward Meryl, who tried to hug her or something, and then Sandy walked away and Meryl made the "Oh, never mind" gesture. The video is here.
Status: Solved: Yes, she did. It doesn't seem intentional, but the hug clearly didn't connect. Maybe that is why Sandy repeatedly called Meryl her lover in her speech, to make up for causing her to look a fool on television.

Mystery: What was up with those lamp shades?
What Happened: At various points in the broadcast, a giant wall of lamp shades descended from heaven to make the stage look like the party room at a T.G.I. Friday's in Wilkes-Barre.
Status: Solved: It was a mistake—a very bad mistake.

Mystery: Does Cameron Diaz not know how to read?
What Happened: When she came out to present the award for Best Animated Feature with Steve Carell, they read their little banter and Cameron called Steve "Jude" by mistake before he corrected her and said their skit was originally written for Jude Law and they never fixed the Teleprompter
Status: Solved: It was just a really bad joke, people. See, they talk about how Animated Features keep their beautiful faces off screen, and then we find out that it was supposed to be written for Jude Law, because, of course, no one would ever call Steve Carell attractive. Ha! Jokes. Too bad the show was so lame and riddled with mistakes that their very plausible meaning was a little too plausible.

Mystery: What the fuck happened to Judd Nelson?
What Happened: When a bunch of brat packers, including a radiant Molly Ringwald, came out to pay tribute to John Hughes, it was apparent that all of them had aged, but none as badly as The Breakfast Club bad boy, who was practically unrecognizable.
Status: Unsolved. He's still working as an actor, so no one thinks he is destitute or drug-riddled or something. Everyone noticed he looked crazy but no one knows why. Yet.

Mystery: Was Kathy Ireland drunk or on drugs?
What Happened: The former supermodel was one of three co-hosts for ABC's 30-minute red carpet special before the show began. She was horrible. Bad interview followed bad interview, she seemed semi-coherent, and her non-microphone-holding arm barely moved.
Status: Solved. She was not on drugs. Now we have even more questions. Considering she has a billion (yes, that's a b) dollar design business and we have never seen her host on TV before, what the hell was she doing there? Of all the people that ABC could have tapped to do the gig, why choose an inexperience lady who looks like she has a prosthetic? Is Kelly Ripa too normal or something? And if we wanted some crazy old lady with lots of plastic surgery on the red carpet, why not bring back Joan Rivers? Our mind is still boggling.

Mystery: Will people watch again?
What Happened: Last night's telecast had the highest ratings in five years with 41.3 million viewers. It was also one of the worst productions in recent memories. Will people bother next year?
Status: Solved. Of course. It's the Oscars. Maybe not as many, but you know they'll be there. And please, please, just let Neil Patrick Harris host next year. He promises his tux won't be nearly as shiny.

Mystery: Why the hell was there street dancing at the Oscars?
What Happened: A troupe of television dancers were given the stage to do strange hip-hop contortions to the classically-influenced music of the Best Score nominees.
Status: Unclear. We solved how it happened—director Adam Shankman who is a choreographer and TV dance show host—but we will forever be asking why. Why, why, why?

Putting her son to rest on Monday (March 8), Marie Osmond and family gathered at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapel in Provo, Utah.

The moving service for Michael Bryan, who took his own life, was attended by his seven siblings and show business uncles, including Donny, who delivered the invocation through tears, according to People magazine.

A slide show of Michael as a child ran on a loop on a small screen in the lobby of the LDS Chapel as hundreds of friends and family streamed into the chapel, adorned with dozens of huge flower arrangements, including calla lilies, roses and stargazer lilies.

As previously reported by Gossip Center, Marie’s 18-year-old son lept to his death from his Los Angeles apartment building on February 26th.

Police arrested Andrew Grande (porn name Dustin Michaels) with a bag of weed in his possession, which he apparently tried to swallow. When he resisted arrest, they tased him, and he choked on the bag. A reality cameraman filmed it.

This long, difficult-to-watch clip from a Panama City Beach, FL news report shows the 23-year-old's struggle and eventual death. By itself, the pot would have warranted misdemeanor possession.

The camera crew that caught Grande's death were with Zoo Productions, the people who produce Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader, Girls Behaving Badly, Guys Behaving Badly, and various Tila Tequila specials. Local news reports say Grande was filming a reality show, but don't specify its name. [Towelroad] [WJHG]

Keeping herself in fine form, Kourtney Kardashian was spotted out for a workout session on Miami’s South Beach on Monday afternoon (March 8).

Looking to shed any remaining baby weight, the E! reality cutie joined babydaddy Scott Disick as the pair made their way to the David Barton Gym in the Ganesvoort Hotel.

During the course of what was a busy day, Kourtney and Scott also took their baby Mason to film scenes for their TV show at Parrot Jungle Island.

On a side note, Miss Kardashian was active on her Twitter account today, making a store-related announcement, writing, “Adriana Castro bags are now available at Dash Miami! We r revamping the store and adding some fab new merchandise.”

After asking American Idol semifinalists to take down their MySpace, YouTube and Facebook pages, it looks like Fox has lightened up a bit.

In the video below, Andrew Garcia, Alex Lambert and Lee Dewyze thank fans for all their love and support, while also giving out the contestants' updated addresses on the aforementioned social networks, along with Twitter.

Enjoy the gracious-filled greetings below and sound off on which male you want to see in the finals:

Treating herself to a day of retail therapy, Britney Spears was spotted out shopping with her mother, Lynne Spears, in Los Angeles, California on Monday afternoon (March 8).

Joined by a helping hand, the “Womanizer singer and her mom gallivanted from shop to shop, loading up on a bagful of purchases at the Barneys New York department store.

Currently enjoying time off after a draining world tour, Britney is reaping the rewards from her impressive comeback - as she is among the nominees at the upcoming Juno awards.

With the winner to be announced on April 18th, Miss Spears’ latest album “Circus” is among the select few discs vying for International Album of the Year honors.

She’s always up for a good time and last night (March 7) Abbie Cornish was spotted at the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter.

The “Stop-Loss” babe looked lovely in a halter-style black dress with a snazzy beaded neckline and a black clutch.

Not fooling paparazzi with her new look, a brunette Katherine Heigl was spotted out in Los Feliz, California on Monday (March 8).

The "Grey's Anatomy" actress strolled over to Little Dom's for lunch, having just recently dyed her blonde locks the new darker shade.

The red carpet of the Academy Awards was not the only place last night to laugh at Zoe Saldana or drool over Taylor Lautner.

Following the ceremony, anyone who is anyone - and even anyone who is slowly becoming no one (hi, Jessica Simpson!) - stopped by the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

From award winners to former American Idol finalists, we've posted photos of the stars at this annual shindig below. Click on each to enlarge...

Pursuing her higher education aspirations, Emma Watson was spotted heading to class on the campus of Brown University yesterday (March 8).

The “Harry Potter” babe looked cute and casual as she carried an armload of books across the Rhode Island grounds, sporting a white coat, blue trousers and sneakers.

If health care passes, Rush Limbaugh will move to Costa Rica. It's been pointed out that Costa Rica has government-run health care, so we'll just note that cocaine seizures are up more than ten-fold since 2002. (No word on prescriptions.)

She’s settling into her new role of motherhood, and Gisele Bundchen says she couldn’t be more thrilled to be a mom.

The Brazilian supermodel showed off pictures of her 3-month-old son Benjamin on her website, and gave fans insight into her life these days.

Bundchen wrote, “Giving birth was the most intense and life-changing experience. I am blessed to have been able to have a home birth surrounded by love, where I was able to feel safe. It was a powerful experience. I never felt so vulnerable but so strong at the same time.”

“I was so present to witness the biggest miracle in my life happen before my very own eyes. To give life to another being – what a gift!  I looked into his precious eyes and felt an overwhelming, unconditional love. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment . . . I never felt so complete and empowered in my life.”

Treating herself to a little retail therapy, Jennifer Love Hewitt was spotted out and about on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon (March 7).

The “Ghost Whisperer” babe looked to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she chatted with a gal pal, carrying shopping bags full of finds.

During her romp, J. Love combed the racks at Kitson, 7 For All Mankind store, and various other WeHo shops.

Last week, Jen and her boyfriend Jamie Kennedy attended a party in celebration of the 100th episode of their supernatural hit show.

After several delays, Lil Wayne has finally turned himself to a Manhattan courthouse in New York City on Monday (March 8).

The rapper has formally received a one-year jail sentence after pleading guilty last fall to a July 2007 weapons crime.

Wayne’s sentencing was delayed once for dental surgery and then again due to a courthouse fire.

Word has it, the “Prom Queen” singer could get out after eight months for good behavior but if not, fans won’t be seeing him again until March 2011.

Controversial, frequently absent Grey's Anatomy cast member Katherine Heigl may be returning  to the halls of Seattle Grace Hospital, but she won’t be doing it as a blonde!

The actress stepped out for lunch yesterday in L.A. as a brunette, and while Katherine has become one of Hollywood’s most noteworthy blondes, the dark 'do does the job.

It may not be her signature look, but we like the length as well, and sometimes, a little change is good. We just wonder if Izzie Stevens will now become brunette, too.

Always the responsible pet owner, Rachel Bilson was busy tending to her pet pooch Thurmen Mermen in Toluca Lake, California on Tuesday afternoon (March 9).

The “Jumper” cutie happened to be paying a visit to a friend’s house, as paparazzi caught her toting her canine companion in her arms following the midday outing.

Meanwhile, Miss Bilson’s rep recently spoke up to nix the seemingly always-present pregnancy rumors after Rachel was spotted heading into a doctor’s office over the past weekend in a loose-fitting raincoat.

Telling that the former “OC” star and her fiance Hayden Christensen aren’t expecting, Rachel’s spokesperson simply said that there’s “absolutely no truth to Rachel being pregnant.”

Working ever so hard on their hit CW show, the cast of “Gossip Girl” was spotted in New York City on Monday (March 8).

Leading the charge, Blake Lively transformed into her Serena van der Woodson character to shoot several scenes before taking a break to hang out with her tiny dog and grab a snack.
