Brooke Mueller: Reportedly in Rehab

Earlier this week, multiple sources reported that Brooke Mueller was ordered by doctors to rest and relax in order to fight off a recent infection. We wonder if they have masseuses and spa treatments in rehab. According to Entertainment Tonight, that's where Charlie Sheen's troubled wife is headed, as insiders say she has entered a drug and alcohol center in North Carolina. Mueller was arrested on a DUI charge in 1996 and for cocaine possession in 2001. She was released from the hospital on Monday, where she was being treated for pneumonia. Legally, Brooke is still barred from communicating with Sheen. A judge will rule on a protective...

Adrian Pasdar Arrested for DUI

Looks like Adrian Pasdar couldn't flee the Heroes set quickly enough! The actor that played Nathan Petrelli on that critically-lambasted series was arrested early this morning for "failing to maintain his lane," according to police, on the 405 in Los Angeles. He was clocked driving his Ford F-150 truck at 94 mph. Reports indicate that cops pulled Pasar over around 3 a.m. and smelled alcohol on his breath. He refused to take a breathalyzer and was eventually placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. The actor - who is married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines - was taken to a nearby jail. His bail was set at $15,000, but, hey, it ...

Paul Shirley: Haiti Can Go Help Itself!

Paul Shirley, a former journeyman NBA basketball player turned writer, is under fire today for recent comments about earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Namely, they put themselves in this mess, so he's not going to be donating any money. He has a right to that opinion, certainly, but his word choice? In an essay published at FlipCollective, he says he "has not donated a cent" to Haiti and likens it to giving a homeless guy money. It's a lost cause. "I don't think the people of Haiti will do much with my money either," he says. The questions posed by his missive as a whole - whether events like the Hope For Haiti telethon are worthwhile,...

Katy Perry to Become Full-Time American Idol Judge?

Aside from Andrew Garcia, American Idol fans weren't treated to incredible performances last night, as only 22 contestants received a ticket to Hollywood. But they were treated to a couple tense exchanges between guest judge Katy Perry and Kara DioGuardi, as the former made herself right at home on the panel. After Kara talked up the personal story of Chris Golightly, for example, Perry shot back: "This is not a Lifetime movie, sweetheart." Then, when Kara began singing "I Kissed a Girl," Perry responded: "Please stop before I throw my Coke in your face!" It was great, entertaining stuff - which made us excited to hear that Katy would...

ABC Cancels Ugly Betty

It's made stars out of America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams and braces. But after a solid run on ABC, Ugly Betty is going off the air. Despite critical acclaim this season, and a recent move to viewer friendly Wednesday nights, the show's ratings were simply too low. Wrote producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson in a statement: “We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”...

Simon Monjack, much-maligned husband of Brittany Murphy, is only days away from filing a wrongful death action against Warner Brothers, claiming that the studio is responsible for the unexpected death of the 32-year-old actress. “They killed her,” he told The Daily Beast matter-of-factly. Two weeks prior to Murphy's sudden death December 20, the studio fired her from the Happy Feet sequel, where she was to reprise the role of penguin Gloria. "She was devastated," Monjack said. Murphy's cause of death has yet to be released by the coroner's office, but Simon Monjack says her heart attack was a direct result of the cancelled contract. ...
