Drunken Charlie's At It Again

Charlie Sheen just can’t leave the bottles alone. New York’s finest was called to his hotel room on 10/26/2010 because Sheen was doing the fool because he said a “nameless” woman stole his wallet when she was trying to collect her money for her services. When NYPD arrived they found Sheen naked and drunk on the floor. Of course, his team said he had an allergic reaction to medication. I think he should go to rehab and get help. Charlie has had entirely too many opportunities to get his act together and has chosen not too. He reminds of Robert Downey Jr. but at least he was able to turn his life around after a few prison and rehab stints. Get it together man.

The pop superstar will appear in her third Tyler Perry film, “For Colored Girls,” next month and says she’s looking forward to tackling more film projects. Speaking on Monday’s edition of ABC’s “The View,” Janet said she had no plans to abandon her music career, but is currently focused on expanding her skills as an actress. Jackson said, quote,

“I’m just really living out a dream that I’ve had…I never really wanted to be in music. I’m not complaining because it’s been very good to me. But I did it because my father wanted me to.”

Jackson has also appeared in Tyler Perry’s “Why Did I Get Married?” and “Why Did I Get Married Too?” Due out on November 5th, “For Colored Girls” also stars Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose, Thandie Newton, and Kimberly Elise.

When asked how the children of her late brother, pop superstar Michael Jackson, were doing following his death last year, Janet offered that “all” of her nieces and nephews were doing well.

It's A Boy...For Mariah And Nick

Mariah Carey is expecting a baby boy in March with the help of fertility drugs, which caused her to gain weight earlier this year. Although she and her hubby still haven’t confirmed she is pregnant with his baby, she is waiting for the right time and opportunity to make the big announcement. Here's what sources are saying:

“She’s having a boy, but the reason that Mariah didn’t want to say anything is because she is 40, and she’s superstitious,” a source told the website. “But she’s going to appear on Oprah and The View, so she’s planning on making the announcement soon.”

Mariah will make television appearances in the next few weeks to promote her new Christmas album, Merry Christmas II You. Congratulations to the happy couple. 

Rihanna Covers Marie Claire

Rihanna got gorgeous for the cover of Marie Claire’s December 2010 issue. In the issue Rihanna opens up about this past year, and how her life has changed so much. She talked about her career, Eminem, and surviving the attack/beating(their words) from Chris Brown, only to become a stronger person. Here’s part of what she said:

RiRi On The Healing Process: ‘Eventually, I remember waking up one day and I knew I was over it. One day. I remember I was in New York at the Trump Hotel and I woke up and I just knew I was over it.’
RiRi On the content of Love The Way You Lie: ['Eminem] basically gives insight into what goes on in the mind of a couple in a domestically violent relationship. I love that in every verse it just gets to that point where she wants to leave, she wants to leave, she leaves, she leaves, she leaves… but then the hook always comes back and it’s like, ‘I love it. I love it”. She continues, ‘It’s almost like you must love it because you’re not leaving.’
RiRi On whether she’s a different person than she was last year: ‘Yes,’ she answers with surety. ‘I was very lost.’

 I guess. SMH. I can't believe we are still harping on this DV issue a year later. Rihanna says she's over it and we should be too. Don't you think?

Brandy Is A Born Again Virgin

Singer and contestant on this season of Dancing With The Stars Brandy Norwood announced in a recent interview that she is a born again virgin. Brandy admitted she hadn't been intimate with a man for six years. "I haven't been with a man seriously and in love in six years. And, honestly, I tend to abstain if I'm not in a relationship," Brandy says. Although it hasn't actually been a full six years, the singer says, "It's been a long time. We're talking years." Brandy has tried getting back in the dating game, though. "I actually went on a blind date a couple months ago that was very interesting but nothing serious. "There was a time when Brandy had a thing for rapper Flo Rida. "I was very interested in him. I mean, how can you not be -- he's very attractive. But there was just something about us that didn't click."
