Charlie Sheen on Jon Cryer: "He's a Turncoat!"

Charlie Sheen is still ranting—but move over, Chuck Lorre, there's a new target.
The just-fired actor is now going after former costar Jon Cryer for not reaching out to him.
"Like I said: You're with me, or you're with the trolls," Sheen exclusively told E! News today. "Obviously he's with the trolls."
And Charlie doesn't stop there.
Sheen was phoning in from "Sober Valley Lodge," where he claims to still be clean and sober and hard at work on his "manifesto."
"You'll find out more tonight on the show," he said of his continuing Sheen's Korner show on ustream.tv. "I'm busy writing my manifesto from now until then." (Sheen previously announced he was writing a book tentatively titled Apocalypse Me, but he wasn't clear if that was different from the manifesto.)

Sheen tells us he will be solo on tonight's livestream. "I don't need guests," he said. "I have one: Me."
He also says he is milking his time in the spotlight for as much as possible "because I just got fired. Because I have to pay child support. Because I'm not giving it away for free anymore. Because people have to work for it now."
Now back to his "troll" costar Cryer. Sheen had been expecting a sympathetic phone call from his Emmy-winning wingman when Sheen first launched his war with show creator Lorre.
"Jon has not called me. He's a turncoat, a traitor, a troll. Clearly he's a troll," said Sheen. "He issued a statement. Is it gonna take me calling him a 'traitor, juvenile and scared' for him to get it?"
Sheen might be misinformed on this count. E! News has repeatedly requested a statement from Cryer since Sheen first lashed out against the show over a week ago, but Cryer, via his rep, has declined to enter the fray. Cryer did do a sketch on Ellen riffing on his current unemployment but did not address Sheen directly; there was also a fake statement on Twitter from a spoof Cryer saying he was "shocked" with the whole debacle.
Furthermore, a source close to Cryer insists that Cyrer and Sheen have communicated and that Cryer did reach out to Sheen, but that out of respect, Cryer was not going to comment publicly.
Sheen has kinder words for some other cast and crew of the show, specifically citing several who are "not trolls" because they reached out and called him. Most notably "half man"  Angus T. Jones, Conchata Ferrell (Berta the housekeeper), Melanie Lynskey (Rose the neighbor), Marin Hinkle (Judith Harper) and show director Jamie Widdoes.
And what if Cryer calls Sheen now?
"What's there to say? I'll tell him 'You're a little late. Goodbye, troll,' " said Sheen. "When I'm starring in multimillion-dollar films and he's begging me for a supporting role I'll say, 'You left me out in the cold with all of your guilt and stupidity.' "
Ouch.

Michaele Salahi Booted From Celebrity Rehab...Because She Didn't Need Rehab!

The controversy is usually over whether a celeb's problems require more than Celebrity Rehab has to offer.
Not whether the celeb doesn't have enough to offer the show.
But that's apparently why former Real Housewives of D.C. matron Michaele Salahi was more or less fired by Dr. Drew Pinsky today.
"The treatment program that Celebrity Rehab documents is intended for individuals with serious substance abuse and addiction issues," VH1 said in a statement to E! News. "Prior to the taping of the current season, producers were advised that Michaele Salahi met the criteria to be treated in this setting. However, professional assessments spanning from that time to the present, found that she did not meet such criteria.
"As a result, she is no longer participating in the program."
A rep for Salahi said yesterday that the self-proclaimed philanthropist, who didn't appear to suffer from addiction during Real Housewives, was hoping Dr. Drew would "be able to assist her about everything she has endured over the last year."
Salahi revealed in September that she suffers from multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease that attacks nerve cells around the brain and spinal cord.
Dr. Drew did a full medical workup on Salahi and she is doing fine, a production source told Radar Online. But apparently she and her husband are pretty pissed!
"She was really leaning on Dr. Drew, who is a respected doctor to get her through some of the issues after the White House, when she went to Congress, when she went into relapse with her multiple sclerosis," Tareq Salahi told Radar.
"My wife takes her health situation very seriously, she has a real diagnosis of multiple sclerosis," he continued. "You know, we can show you a bunch of emails about what they wanted her to pretend to be, therefore, but that's going to come out later on with one of the major networks."
Now that sounds like the camera-adoring gate-crashers we know and love!

Take That stars in US customs shock

TAKE THAT stars HOWARD DONALD and MARK OWEN were furious after being held for hours in US customs to be quizzed about their visas.

Chart-toppers Howard, 42, and Mark, 39, flew into Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon as they went to visit pal ROBBIE WILLIAMS at his Hollywood home.
But the singers, who flew there Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic, were pulled in for questioning because they had travelled without a working visa - and had to convince airport officials they were not there to work.

Customs quiz ... LA airport

Howard drew attention to the pair by accidentally trying to jump the queue for immigration.
A source said: "He thought someone called 'first class' as they approached security. The customs officer actually said 'Air France'."
The pair were eventually let in and the source added: "The lads are often on the LA flight but this visit was exceptionally bad.
"Howard was on the receiving end of the worst of it. They thought he was pulling a fast one, coming in the US to work.
"It was a fraught few hours. Howard was knackered and could have done without the hassle. Mark got through unscathed but it started the trip in the wrong mood."
Bandmates GARY BARLOW and JASON ORANGE, both 40, were not on the trip.

Charlie Sheen Prepares for War

Armed with a machete, Charlie Sheen is prepared for battle.
In a text message to People - soon after he was fired from Two and a Half Men, climbed to the rooftop of a building in Beverly Hills and posted his most disturbing edition of Sheen's Korner yet - the troubled star wrote:
Put yourself in my shoes for one warlock nanosecond. At some point there is nothing to say. Only war to wage … The winds are howling tonight. The gods are hungry. The beast is alive. And awake. And deadly.

On the professional front, Warner Bros. says it plans to make Sheen pay for all of the sitcom's lost revenue since it's been off the air, an intention that has prompted the following response from Sheen's manager, Mark Burg:
"It's sad for the fans that enjoyed the show for the last eight years. I'm sorry it's come to this. I guess a judge and jury will decide the final outcome... The show might not be coming back, but the final chapter has yet to be written."

“Miley wants to keep Jared interested,” a source says. “She often sends him coy text messages. So far, he is a big fan of what she has been sending.”
This mole claims Followill, who hails from Cyrus' hometown of Nashville, is 24 years old and was connected to Julianne Hough in 2009, thinks Miley is "very pretty."
Might we need to prepare ourselves for... Cyrowill? We'll keep readers apprised.

Lindsay Lohan to Sue Jewelry Store For Profiting Off Security Footage

Sensing a legal opening along with a chance to cause misdirection and play the victim, Lindsay Lohan is going to sue Kamofie & Company jewelry store.
Why? She claims they had no legal standing to sell the infamous surveillance tape and that Lohan never licensed the rights to use her image for profit.
Kamofie sold the rights to distribute the tape to the Associated Press for at least $40,000. Lindsay says it's just proof they're using her to cash in.

A rep for Kamofie tells TMZ that "We regret to hear there is trepidation by Miss Lohan in connection with the video" but that they had no choice but to sell.
Don't ask us why selling footage of Lohan allegedly committing felony theft to a media outlet became an involuntary act, but that's what they're saying:
The statement continues, "We hope everyone understands this is beyond our control, the flood of the requests to see this video were too overwhelming."
"It was truly necessary to put it out."
