Bad Week For Charley Sheen - Stolen Cars And Federal Charges

Poor Uncle Charley.

This has been a bad week for the "Two And A Half Men" star.

First, an Aspen Colorado court decided that Charley Sheen would, indeed, be charged for his Christmas day domestic violence charges against his wife Brooke Mueller.

Brooke told police the actor held her down while holding a knife to her throat, and a temporary restraining order was filed keeping Charlie away from Brook and their children. They are scheduled to appear Monday to ask for changes that would relax the order.

Sheen will also be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault.

To add to the problems, Brook just spent a month recovering from a life threatening bout of pneumonia and spending a week in rehab.

Second - Charlie's stolen Mercedes SUV was found 400 feet down a cliff after being reported stolen about 5:00 in the morning. The car is totaled and cops were unable to find any trace of a suspect.

Third - Sheen's costar on "Two And A Half Men", Jon Cryer, received death threats at the studio causing an influx of FBI agents and a removal of the studio audience last month. Whew, who says the Hollywood life isn't exciting!

But there may be a glimmer of hope for old Charlie.

His blockbuster movie "Wall Street II - Money Never Sleeps" is scheduled for release in April 2010. The film reunites Sheen's character Bud Fox with original Gordon Gekko co-star Michael Douglas. The twist with this sequel will be the addition of Shia LaBeouf as Jacob Moore.

But there may be a new problem…

This is a different era. Things have changed since the original "Wall Street" hit the big screens. Some critics are suggesting that with the economy in turmoil, this is the worst possible time to introduce a greedy Wall Street movie. Especially with the banking system bonus fiasco still fresh in everyone's mind.

Welcome to Hollywood.

Jon Stewart Does Bill O'Reilly - Video

It was another match made in heaven for Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" this week. He visited with long time nemesis Bill O'Reilly at FOX.

Stewart has never been a big fan of Fox, frequently jabbing the network for its loose interpretation of the "news", and heavy focus on "opinion".

Last night was no exception. John Stewart accused FOX (and O'Reilly) of causing fear and panic with his coverage of President Barack Obama, and inciting chaos and confusion with the "Tea Parties", and general dislike for anything Democrat.

There was a lot of subtle jabbing during the interview, but a full-blown, knock down drag out never materialized. But it is clear that the two celebrities have little respect for each other, or for what they do.

Our general opinion after watching the interview was simple: Jon Stewart is a cool voice of reason, and Bill O'Reilly is a jerk.

Leif Garrett Busted For Drugs - Again

Troubled teen actor Leif Garrett has once again been arrested for drug possession.

Garrett, now 48, was busted for possession of a controlled substance while waiting at a Metrolink station in downtown L.A. on Monday.

Cops say while on a routine patrol they observed the actor acting suspicious, and after a search, found drugs and arrested him.

Leif bonded out by Wednesday and will appear back in court to plead the charges at a later date.

Garrett is no stranger to drugs, cops, or the metrolink.

Back in 2006 he was arrested for riding a train without a ticket. Cops found heroin and quaaludes on his person.

His mug shot and other photos quickly made the rounds adding to his insult.

The former child actor started his career at the age of five and had numerous major film, television roles and hit music singles. By age 17 his troubles began when in 1979, he wrecked his car while drunk.

The accident left his passenger and best friend Roland Winkler a paraplegic.

He continued to struggle with drug abuse over the years, and was arrested for cocaine possession in 2005, before violating his probation resulting in a 90-day jail sentence following his 2006 Metrolink arrest.

Mel Gibson Calls Reporter Asshole - Video

Poor Mel. Always trying to defend his personal demons.

Four years after his run-in with booze and anti-Semitic comments to cops, the actor again had to defend his reputation to the press.

While doing a spot on WGN, Gibson was promoting his latest project "Edge Of Darkness", when the reporter (Dean Richards) stubbornly kept returning to the issues of 2006.

Gibson did a great job keeping his cool and holding his temper until the very end. Richards appeared to sense Mel was getting uptight, and quickly ended the segment.

Wisconsin authorities have reported that "Boston Legal" actor Justin Mentell has died from injuries sustained in a car accident.
