Charlie Sheen was “rushed to the hospital” this morning (updates)

wenn5563095

Charlie Sheen was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital this morning, TMZ is reporting. Apparently, he threw some huge party last night, and then this morning, someone called 911 at 6:35 a.m. (PST). Cocaine? Alcohol poisoning? Did a hooker shoot him? Or is it just another “ear infection”? Ugh.

Charlie Sheen was rushed to the hospital this morning, TMZ has learned. We’re told Charlie was taken out of his home on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance at 7 AM.

Two young women exited the house at the same time Charlie was taken out with a towel partially over his face.

Charlie was transported to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. The 911 call was placed at 6:35 AM.

Sources say Charlie was having severe abdominal pains which triggered the 911 call. Stan Rosenfield, Charlie’s publicist, tells TMZ Charlie was in the emergency room this morning — sleeping.

We’re told Charlie’s father, Martin Sheen, and his mom, Janet Templeton, are at the hospital.

UPDATE: Neighbors tell TMZ Charlie threw some sort of party last night. They heard women inside Charlie’s house singing Red Hot Chili Peppers songs throughout the evening. The party went on — loudly — well into the wee hours.

[From TMZ]

I mean, I’m not wishing death on the guy, I’m really not. I hope that he’s fine, and whatever happened to him, it serves as a wake-up call to get his life together. But I suspect it won’t. I suspect one of two things is about to happen: either Charlie really did something really horrible to himself, and it’s life-threatening, OR Charlie did something really horrible to himself, and his team will cover it up and Charlie will be allowed to continue as is, a trainwreck.

Speaking of Option #2, Charlie’s rep tells Us Weekly: “He was having severe abdominal pains and went to the hospital.” Us Weekly also notes that Charlie’s sober coach “has not heard from Charlie since he told him not to start [drinking] New Year’s day.” So… yeah.

UPDATE #1: I’m sure we’ll have a million updates on this, so this is just the first! TMZ spoke to someone at the hospital who said “It’s serious.” Also, TMZ says that at last night’s party at Charlie’s house, he had five girls.

UPDATE #2: So TMZ is now reporting that Charlie had a “briefcase full of cocaine” -delivered to his home hours before last night’s big party, and that Charlie was partaking heavily. Oh, and the cocaine was in “bricks” if that makes a difference. So, the theory is now “cocaine overdose”. But Charlie’s PR team is still on the offensive! His rep tells TMZ: “I can’t comment because I have no idea if it’s true. You choose to believe your source. I don’t.”

UPDATE #3: TMZ reports that Charlie is suffering from a “hiatal hernia in his stomach” and that “the condition causes acid and food to back up into the esophagus causing extreme pain.” It’s actually more serious than TMZ’s crack team of doctors claims – they’re making it sound like a bad case of acid reflux. Of course, I’m still not buying this as the real reason why Charlie was rushed to the hospital.

UPDATE #4: (By CB) In case you’d like to know what Charlie Sheen’s house looks like while he’s on a bender, one of the porn stars (of a rumored five) that he was partying with tweeted a pic from inside his house. It features her barely covered hairless vag in the foreground, and a table covered with drug store supplies in the background like mouthwash, lube, rubbing alcohol, disinfectant wipes and intimate lotions. (Hope there were condoms there.) This is why people have a hard time believing the hernia storia. The porn star who tweeted that has since hired a lawyer. Oh and the people who called 911 on Charlie’s behalf were none other than Charlie’s neighbors, Adrienne Maloof-Nassif of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and her plastic surgeon husband, Paul. Hopefully he’s doing ok whatever the case. Extra reports that his first words from the hospital were “I’m not dying.

Enquirer: Jennifer Aniston is a boozehound & she needs rehab

fp_6088466_aniston_jennifer_aar_12_31

The National Enquirer has a very interesting/funny/sad/angry-making story about Jennifer Aniston in this week’s print edition. I guess your reaction to it will depend on your views on Aniston. Personally, this story is something I’ve been wondering about her for a while. Specifically: What is going on with Aniston as far as drugs and alcohol go? I thought she seemed pretty toasty when she presented at the People’s Choice Awards, and I’ve read the rumors over the years about her pot-smoking, martini-guzzling and even some mutterings about a coke habit. Well, there’s no word on the cocaine, but this Enquirer story is making her sound like a big ol’ lush.

Jennifer Aniston’s friends are worried that she needs rehab. After a string of movie flops and failed romances, Aniston is numbing her emotional pain with booze, say pals. And after she appeared to stumble and slur her way through the People’s Choice Awards, those same friends have grown concerned that her drinking is becoming a serious problem.

“I think Jen may be drowning her sorrows over her dead-end love life and her slumping career. Some friends are beginning to wonder is she needs help,” a source tells The Enquirer. “Jen’s always been a partier, but now at times her drinking seems out of control.

Aniston reportedly loves wine, margaritas and martinis and has long been an admitted fan of marijuana.

“Jen used pot to mellow out,” said the source. “But lately it seems she drinks alcohol to take the edge off.”

To make matters worse, Jen used to be a social drinker, but lately she’s been hitting the bottle even when she’s alone. And her friendship with her drinking buddy Chelsea Handler hasn’t helped matters. Their Thanksgiving Mexican getaway was a booze-fest, say insiders.

“Jen guzzled margaritas, vodka, wine and champagne,” divulged the source. “Chelsea’s a big drinker, and every time they’re together she encourages Jen to cut loose.”

Unfortunately, Jen tends to get “sloppy” when she drinks, maintains the source.

“She starts slurring, then she gets emotional and starts reminiscing about losing Brad. And finally she ends up trashing Angelina.” When Jennifer threw a holiday party on December 4, “She had a drink in her hand all night and definitely was feeling no pain.”

“Jen’s friends are worried… they want her to get help is needs it. They are concerned Jen’s drinking and partying will escalate as long as she’s single, lonely and bored.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition]

Does anyone else drink alone? I do. I’ve gotten to the age where I like to have a cocktail while I watch The Closer, you know? Do I get sloppy drunk by myself? No, but I like a cocktail or two by myself, so on the whole issue of “ZOMG Aniston is drinking alone!!” I can only say “meh.” As far as the rest of it – well, we’ll know it’s an issue if and when she gets a DUI. Except for the People’s Choice thing – and maybe the “retard” thing (where I thought she seemed coked up or high more than drunk) – Aniston seems like the kind of lush who does really well at “maintaining”. It’s not like she’s out at the clubs every night, making an ass out of herself. She’s just sitting at home drinking and whining. There are worse things.

Here she is slurring her way through presenting at the People’s Choice. “Surris” gets me every time.

Charlie Sheen on an epic bender in Vegas with three porn stars

wenn5563095
I know this is wrong, because I should be outraged, but this latest story about Charlie Sheen just cracked me the hell up at first. Then I remembered that he’s an abusive S.O.B. and took a different view of the situation. Still, Sheen plays the drunk, drugged-up devil-may-care guy so well that he’s like a stock character in a predictable men’s comedy. He’s the partying best friend of the guy who is going to get married and is super loyal to his fiance. The Sheen character keeps bringing sleazy women around to tempt his buddy, who turns them down and manages to gets to the altar just in time to get slugged out by his bride-to-be. Getting back to reality, Sheen wasn’t in Vegas as part of some outrageous bachelor party. He was hanging alone with three porn stars he met at an adult video convention. He remains the highest paid star on television despite the fact that he’s known to have abused a handful of women, including two of his ex wives, and spends his free time coked up with hookers. Sheen is sure working hard to turn his life into a cliche.

Forget “Two and a Half Men” — TMZ has learned Charlie Sheen has hooked up with three whole porn stars in Las Vegas — all at the same time … during what we’re being told is an epic bender.

We’ve learned Charlie hooked up with the three women — who are in Vegas for a porn convention.

The foursome is holed up at The Palms Hotel and Casino.

As TMZ first reported, Sheen was seen today hammering down Grey Goose Vodka in the hotel bar.

Charlie is due back on the set tomorrow, and everyone around him — from studio execs to members of his team — is deeply concerned for his welfare and wants him to go to rehab.

As far as we know … Sheen hasn’t checked in with anyone today.

[From TMZ]

Both TMZ and Radar have photos of one of Sheen’s porn star hookups and she looks incredibly young at 23. It’s clear the girl talked to Radar because they go on about how into her Sheen is. The hooker, Bree Olson, has a NSFW twitter account that shows just how into her job she really is, and I’ll leave it at that.

Sheen spent his Christmas with hookers and blow, and he’s spending his free time that way too. Here’s what I think will happen – Sheen will show up on set looking worse for wear but ready for work. He’ll shrug and act like everything is fine and it was a huge exaggeration, which is basically what he did when he locked that hooker in the bathroom and trashed a hotel room. Maybe he’ll go on like this for a few more months, but it’s got to catch up with him soon. The womanizing best friend character either learns from his mistakes and sobers up or faces the consequences. In real life, it can turn out much worse in the end.

Brooke Mueller: This is your mind on drugs

fp_6484788_hilton_mueller_wic_13_25

They should use these photos for the anti-drug campaign: “This is your mind on cocaine.” Since Brooke Mueller’s M.O. is to first claim to be completely clean and sober, and then instantly check into rehab again, I think it’s HIGH time that someone start the cycle again. These are photos of Brooke and Paris Hilton out shopping yesterday. I think they’re still filming their reality series together. Seriously, kids, this is what happens when you smoke the rock – you end up blitzed out of your mind, shopping with Paris Hilton.

Two more things: first, The Daily Mail is trying to make it sound like Brooke Mueller maybe got implants? Maybe those are implants, but if they are, she’s had them for a while, because the chick has always been busty. Also: there’s no word on whether or not Brooke and Dave Navarro spent any time together other then their (gross) Aspen hookup a few weeks ago.

Star Mag: Angelina Jolie is in rehab, for heroin maybe

starmag

Ah, this is a good one. Kudos to Star Magazine for getting this photo of Angelina Jolie looking like Courtney Love and using it on a cover about how Angelina is in rehab for heroin addiction. Since Star Magazine hasn’t released any part of the cover story, my guess is that the whole thing is based on: Angelina being thin, Angelina looking tired, and all of that crap with Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew knows that every time he gives quotes about Brangelina, he’s guaranteed some attention, which is why he’s been issuing quotes about Angelina’s “heroin addiction” for years. His latest series of quotes was just a few weeks ago, and even though he gave some half-assed apology, the recent quotes have given the tabloids a reason to print a new round of “Angelina Jolie is a heroin addict, Brad cries on Aniston’s shoulder!” stories.

So is Angelina an addict? Was she ever? Or was she just a screwed up kid back in the day who used drugs and talked about it in interviews? Is Angelina still using now, as a mother of six, a UN goodwill ambassador and an in-demand actress? Ugh.

Charlie Sheen was partying with hookers & blow for Christmas

wenn2377295

While our collective Christmases weren’t as Hermes-filled as Beyonce’s, all of us were doing better than Charlie Sheen. Yes, having avoided prison and any consequence for his coke-and-rage-filled actions, Charlie Sheen spent the holidays in the warm embrace of network love, too much money, paid companionship and blow. Somebody had a snowy Christmas! Ugh. According to Radar’s sources, Charlie blew (operative word) off all of his family obligations to spend the holidays in a never-ending “party” of hookers and cocaine. That’s our Charlie?

Charlie Sheen is partying hard once again and missed THREE family Christmas events as he lived the high life, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

One year after being arrested on domestic violence charges in Aspen, Colorado, the Two and a Half Men star was nowhere to be found at family events where he was expected.

“He skipped going to his brother Emilio’s, didn’t show up at Denise Richards’ house and also skipped seeing his daughter Cassandra,” a source close to the family told RadarOnline.com.

So where has Charlie been?

“He’s back partying again,” a source told us. “Although it’s tough to say he’s back partying because he never really quit!”

Sheen had a disastrous night partying with porn star Capri Anderson in New York, but that hasn’t slowed him. Anderson filed a criminal complaint claiming Sheen held her against her will and Sheen filed a lawsuit against her for extortion.

“He did a lot of cocaine that night,” a source close to that situation told RadarOnline.com, and Sheen hasn’t stopped.

“He likes hookers and he likes coke and he’s got enough money for both,” the source said.

While the star blew off the family events for Christmas he wasn’t suffering from holiday depression. “He’s been having a great time partying like crazy for the past several weeks,” the source said.

[From Radar]

I believe this. I don’t think Charlie “learned” any lesson from his experiences over the past year. It was just over a year ago that he beat the hell out of his wife and threatened her with a knife when they were blitzed out of their skulls, and Charlie skated. Then he locks a hooker in a hotel closet, trashes a hotel room and all the cops want from him is an autograph. When is Martin Sheen going to stage another intervention? Or has Martin thrown up his hands at Charlie at this point? Could be. If somebody doesn’t step up, Charlie’s downward spiral is just going to continue on throughout the year. Hookers and blow for everybody!

Lindsay Lohan’s abuse victim: she was violent, cursing, refused breathalyzer


More details are coming out about the incident at Lindsay Lohan’s halfway house in which she allegedly abused a staff member who busted her after she snuck out with some girlfriends to drink at a local bar. As is typical for Lindsay, her family has denied that she’s done anything wrong and are hard at work spinning their side of the story to celebrity outlets. They claim that Lindsay just pushed the female staff member in self defense, that she called 911 and that she supposedly passed a sobriety test administered by the Betty Ford Clinic.

holland
Meanwhile the Betty Ford staffer, Dawn Holland, has spoken to TMZ. Holland makes it clear that Lindsay was wasted, violent, and refused a breathalyzer. The other two patients were compliant, according to her account. Holland granted a video interview to TMZ telling her side of the story. In the video Holland is wearing a brace on her wrist and claims that it was strained severely when Lindsay grabbed a phone out of her hand. Here’s the story from TMZ, and you can watch the video there.

The Betty Ford staffer who claims Lindsay Lohan assaulted her tells TMZ … Lindsay had been drinking before the incident and hurt her so badly, she’s now on workers’ comp.

Dawn Holland, who works as a chemical dependency technician at the Betty Ford Clinic, tells us on Sunday, December 12, just after 1 AM, Lindsay and two roommates came home from a night on the town … violating the curfew policy.

Holland says Lindsay and company jumped a wall, trying to get inside the place she was staying without being noticed. Holland says security stopped the three women, and that’s when Lindsay became belligerent and started swearing up a storm.

Holland says she was called to do a breathalyzer on the 3 women, but Lindsay refused and then pushed her. Holland says she went back in the house and Lindsay called 911 on the house phone.

Holland says she picked up another house phone to speak with 911, and Lindsay confronted her again and ripped the phone out of her hand, causing a severe sprain which caused Holland to go out on workers’ comp.

Holland says she could smell alcohol on Lindsay’s breath.

As for Lindsay’s claim Holland touched her first, she says, “I did not touch the woman.”

As TMZ first reported, Holland filed a police report and the cops are investigating Lindsay for criminal battery.

[From TMZ]

Holland also said she didn’t think Lohan has made progress at Betty Ford because she “has been defiant and broken just about every rule.” Holland claimed that she is out on workman’s comp. Radar reports that Holland admitted she was paid upwards of $10,000 for that interview by TMZ. Both Radar and TMZ report that Holland was fired for violating patient confidentiality by speaking to the press.

There are so many new stories coming out about this incident that it’s hard to cover them all. The jist is that Lindsay’s people are pulling the same old victim card that they always do and there’s little more to it than that. The official statement from Lindsay’s lawyer reads: “We are declining to comment on the underlying facts surrounding this incident, as we await the completion of the police investigation. It should be noted, however, that it was Ms. Lohan who called 911 to request police assistance at the time this incident occurred.” As if that means anything. Lindsay’s mother called 911 when Carvel refused to give her a free cake!

According to the latest report, and there are so many more, Lindsay claims she was “out getting her hair done” and wasn’t at a bar at all. Radar reports that while she did refuse a breathalyzer that evening, (and the Betty Ford incident report written by Holland states that Lindsay’s mom Dina told her in a phone call not to submit to one) she took one the next day and passed. Of course she did. This account from Holland is very typical of Lindsay and is in no way surprising, nor is Lindsay’s response.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200 Lindsay. I can’t believe that this girl has yet to spend more than a month in jail. She is not special, but it’s not hard to see how she keeps copping that attitude when she continually acts like this and gets so many damn chances. Lindsay is facing six months in jail for violating probation.

Billy Ray Cyrus’s mullet is ‘so sad’ that Miley was doing bong hits

Yesterday, TMZ “broke” the story that Miley Cyrus is pretty much one of us. A friend of Miley’s (some friend) sold/gave TMZ a video of Miley smoking a bong on or around her 18th birthday, even though TMZ’s sources claim that Miley was smoking “salvia” – which is legal. I kind of thought she was smoking weed, but it’s debatable. By the way, if it was salvia, Radar’s experts claim that stuff has the same effect as LSD. I don’t know about you, but I would rather take a hit off of the gravity bong then trip my (metaphoric) balls off again. Anyway, the video was all over the place on Friday, even the news networks. So I guess The Mullet finally got a chance to see it, and boy was he “sad” about it. From Billy Ray’s Twitter:

themullet

[Spoketh The Mullet]

Eh. He’s “so sad.” Okay. I would also accept “disappointed” but really, is this the end of the world? I think if I was Miley’s father (shudder), I would be more upset about her constant cooter-flashing (on stage). Here’s what I think is really giving The Mullet a major case of The Sads: “There is much beyond my control right now.” Yes, The Mullet can no longer “control” his little girl. He no longer tells her who to date and who to hang out with and when to work and when to flash her cooter on stage. The Mullet has learned a valuable lesson today!

Pretty Wild star Alexis Neiers found with heroin in her purse & jailed without bail

alexisneiersmugshot
E! Pretty Wild star Alexis Neiers, 19, made headlines this May when she plead guilty for her role in burglarizing Orlando Bloom’s home as part of the young “Burglar Bunch” that targeted celebrity homes. Neiers insisted on the show that she was just hanging with the wrong crowd and in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was sentenced to six months in jail, of which she served just one month, not-so-coincidentally in a jail cell that was right next to Lindsay Lohan’s. (They had about five days of overlap when they were both incarcerated.) Like Lindsay, Alexis was separated from the general population due to her celebrity status. Also like Lindsay, Neiers doesn’t seem to have taken her probation seriously at all. She apparently failed to check in with her probation officers for a scheduled November meeting. As a result, they came to her house and searched it, finding heroin in her purse and a fake ID from Florida. Neiers was arrested and jailed without bail. She faces three years in jail for a probation violation.

A reality TV star who was jailed earlier this year for burglarizing Orlando Bloom’s house was arrested again Wednesday after authorities say they found her in possession of black tar heroin.

Alexis Neiers was taken into custody after officers went to her home for a compliance check and found the drugs and paraphernalia, said Los Angeles County Probation Department spokeswoman Kerri Webb.

Webb said officers also found Neiers with a Florida driver’s license in another name with a false age.

The aspiring model, who was on the E! Entertainment Television show “Pretty Wild,” is being held without bail. She is being held on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia and identity theft.

The 19-year-old spent 30 days of a six month sentence in jail this year after pleading no contest to burglarizing Bloom’s house as part of a group accused of several celebrities’ home break-ins. Her court case was prominently featured on the E! show.

A call to her attorney, Jeffrey K. Rubenstein, was not immediately returned. No new court date has been set yet.

[From AP via Huffington Post]

Neiers’ mom told E! that it was all a misunderstanding, and that “She was not arrested or being charged with possession as far as I know… [Alexis] did not check into her probation meeting last month and there was some confusion over her address because she had two addresses listed for the location where she was living. They tried to reach her, and she did not respond.” She added “I am just disappointed because we don’t need to go through this ridiculousness again.” She sounds just like Dina Lohan, doesn’t she? I’ve seen a couple episodes of this show and the mom acts more like a friend to her three daughters than any kind of authority figure. I’m sure in her mind it’s all someone else’s fault that her 20 year-old daughter was robbing houses, doing heroin, and is going to be sentenced to jail for the second time this year.

Willie Nelson facing a minimum of 6 months for pot possession in Texas

FORT WORTH, TX - NOVEMBER 07: Singer Willie Nelson performs prior to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 7, 2010 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
Country Singer Willie Nelson, 77, was arrested and charged for pot possession in Texas at a border patrol stop. Cops allegedly found 6 ounces of marijuana on Nelson’s tour bus, and he is said to have admitted it was his. Nelson was carted away to the county jail, where he was freed on $2,500 bail. If he’s convicted, Nelson faces a minimum of six months in jail! The county sheriff seems to relish the though, and told the El Paso Times that if Nelson ends up in his jail he’s going to be treated the same as any other inmate.

Country-music legend Willie Nelson was arrested Friday in Texas and charged with marijuana possession after police allegedly found six ounces of marijuana on his tour bus.

The bus was stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, east of El Paso, reports the El Paso Times. He posted bond and was released.

Nelson, 77, was headed from California to Austin, where he owns a ranch.

Nelson could face a minimum of six months in prison if convicted. Hudspeth County sheriff Arvin West told the El Paso Times that Nelson would be treated like any inmate if incarcerated in his jail.

“He could get 180 days in county jail, which if he does, I’m going to make him cook and clean,” West said. “He can wear the stripy uniforms just like the other ones do.”

TMZ.com reported that Nelson could argue that he forgot the marijuana was on the bus when he left California, where medical marijuana is legal.

[From People]

I thought this guy was at least 10 years younger. It must be all the herb keeping him young. I hope that Nelson gets off on a technicality. 1/2 pound 7 ounces of pot is a huge amount, and chances are high (haha) that it wasn’t just Nelson’s and that he’s taking the fall for his entire crew. Nelson is a longtime supporter of medical marijuana, and marijuana legalization. It doesn’t make sense that pot hasn’t been at least decriminalized in the US. Let’s hope that this kind peace-loving old legend is in no way made an example of.
