Ah, Scary Movie 5, where to begin…
When it was first announced that Anna Faris would’t be coming back to star in the latest Scary Movie, my expectations went from low to lower. I was never a huge fan of the series, but they were never offensively unfunny, especially with names like Faris, Marlon Wayans, Cheri Oteri, David Cross and Tim Curry attached.
Best case scenario, though, Scary Movie 5 was a chance to kind of reboot the series and reclaim its former glory of the early 2000s. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case here. At all. (Seriously. (For real.))
Also, if you were hoping to see some big comeback from Charlie Sheen or Lindsay Lohan in this movie, you can forget it. First off, if those two “actors” are your reason for seeing any movie, then shame on you. Second, their screen time lasts all of three minutes at the top of the flick, and if you’ve already seen the trailer, then you’ve pretty much seen their whole schtick — save for one clownish “sex” sequence accompanied by the Benny Hill theme. (That alone should clue you in to type of comedy we’re dealing with here.)

LOS ANGELES, March 13 (UPI) — Khristianne Uy, Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen‘s personal chef, has won the first season of the ABC cooking competition show “The Taste.”
Sometimes it seems we live in a world of high-maintenance people. We often encounter them in our personal relationships, and we can’t avoid seeing them on TV. Think Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and good old Charlie Sheen. These high-drama, emotionally expensive people are easy to spot. They create drama wherever they go. They are “takers” rather than “givers.” On TV – and even in our personal relationships – it is easy to roll our eyes and laugh off their bad behavior. …read more

The actor Charlie Sheen recorded a video intended for the former LAPD officer accused of killing three people and writing a long manifesto that indicates he has intentions to kill more.
Sheen, who was praised in Christopher Dorner‘s manifesto, thanked the suspect for his ‘kind words’ but asked the man to call him.
“Let’s figure out together how to end this thing,” Sheen is recorded saying.
The 17-second video was posted Saturday on TMZ.
Meanwhile, authorities weathered heavy snow and freezing temperatures in the mountains, thousands of heavily armed police remained on the lookout throughout California, Nevada, Arizona and northern Mexico for Dorner apparently bent on revenge and willing to die.
Police said officers still were guarding more than 40 people mentioned as targets in a rant they said Dorner posted on Facebook. He vowed to use “every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordnance and survival training I’ve been given” to bring “warfare” to the LAPD and its families.
