Chuck Lorre Wishes Charlie Sheen Health, Happiness

For a few weeks in early 2011, we all got a laugh out of Charlie Sheen. Remember these Korners ? But Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre, who battled publicly with his show’s lead, tells TV Guide Magazine this month that he and CBS higher-ups weren’t finding the actor’s actions very funny. At all. “The [studio and the network] chose to make a moral decision as opposed to a financial one,” Lorre says . “This was not a game. This was drug addiction writ large. This was big-time cocaine, and in his own words, an ‘epic drug run’ that could have ended with either his death or someone else’s.” Lorre said he chose to reboot the franchise with Ashton Kutcher because he had little to lose, adding that everything with Sheen simply spiraled out of control: “He was a great friend and partner for eight years. And every time he got himself into trouble, we believed that there was healing that was going to come. I certainly believed that sobriety is something that he wants in his life, and I was wrong.” Why did he shut down production on Two and a Half Men ? “I didn’t want to be writing a sitcom while my friend died. Or worse, hurt someone else. We couldn’t be complacent. There was a tragedy unfolding right in front of us. There was violence and blackouts. On a certain level, if you’re looking the other way, you’re responsible. “You couldn’t do that much cocaine and work. It was falling apart. It was heartbreaking to be around here then.” Now, all seems okay for all parties, though. Two and a Half Men remains a wildly-popular show (around 15 million viewers per week) and Sheen has a new FX sitcom in the works. Lorre’s final words for his ex-underling? “I hope he’s happy, I hope he’s healthy. I hope he’s able to be there for his kids.”

Taraji Henson On Her 2009 Oscar Nomination: “I’m Glad I Didn’t Win”

View original post here:

Taraji P. Henson covers the latest issue of YRB magazine where, inside, she talks about the struggles Black actors face, her relationship with Tyrese and why she’s happy to have not won an Oscar yet. On her Oscar-nominated role as a foster mother to Brad Pitt in The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button : I really am glad that I didn’t win the Oscar that year. [African-American actors] have already won awards for playing those types of characters. I’m ready for us to win by [acting in] a comedy or a love story or just something different than the norm. On Tyrese and their rumored relationship: He’s like my brother, for real. That would just seem really weird for the two of us to suddenly get together. On Baby Boy : Baby Boy wasn’t just a black movie. Everyone can relate to a baby boy to some degree. He is not a color; he’s a person. I remember when John Singleton (the film’s director) sat both myself and Tyrese down in the beginning of filming and told us that he wanted to make a film that people would want to watch 17 times, and judging by how much it has been in rotation, I think John’s mission is accomplished.” On her new show “Person Of Interest” : I really don’t like doing television because I get bored, but when you get a call from a writer of the caliber of Jonathan Nolan ( The Dark Knight ), you kinda can’t say no to that. They really thought outside of the box when they considered me. Jonathan knew of my work and really wanted to work on a project with me. This is a three-person lead television show, and normally people don’t even think of an African-American in that context, but he thought of me right away, and so I decided to carpe diem and seize the moment. On her style icons: I have always thought Lena Horne, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe had amazing style. The things they wore were timeless, and could transcend time.

TV Guide Editor: “[Taraji] Was Never Intended To Be The Focus Of Our Cover Story”

Continued here:

Yesterday, actress Taraji P. Henson, made it clear that she was very upset with TV Guide after they excluded her from her cast mates on the cover of the TV Guide issue focusing on “Point Of Interest.” Taraji who is the only female lead on the show wasn’t included there or in certain promotinal billboard. TooFab.com spoke with the  Editor-in-Chief of TV Guide Magazine who says “I made an editorial decision to do a story about the relationship between the two male characters on ‘Person of Interest’ and that’s who I was going to put on the cover. That has been my decision all along, ever since I saw the pilot. We’re certainly fans of Taraji Henson and her storyline on the show was never intended to be the focus of our cover story. I don’t know where there was a misunderstanding about this, but it’s been clear to everyone from the start. I don’t make decisions on who is put and not put on the cover based on race or gender.” Hm, sounds like a race issue to me! TV Guide Doesn’t Include Taraji P. Henson On Cover Of Issue But Includes Castmates Tyrese “Stay” With Taraji P. Henson [VIDEO] Spotted @ Necole Bitchie.com

Graphic Photos Found in Robyn Gardner Case

Graphic photos found on the camera of a man Robyn Gardner was with have deepened the mystery surrounding the Maryland woman’s disappearance. Robyn was supposed to be in Orlando with her parents – or so she told her boyfriend, Richard Forester. In reality, she went on a vacation to Aruba. Now the 35-year-old is missing and presumed dead. Gary Giordano , a 50-year-old Maryland businessman with a disturbing past, remains in custody. The mystery has only deepened as authorities in Aruba begin releasing details from the investigation, such as images that are “beyond pornographic.” No other information about the photos has been revealed, and it’s still not known exactly when the pictures – on Gary Giordano’s camera – were taken. It is also difficult to determine whether the acts are consensual, says Julia Renfro, editor-in-chief of Aruba Today, the island’s English language daily. “You only see organs,” Renfro tells People Magazine , disturbingly. “You don’t know if she is awake. There are other pictures where she is posing naked.” It’s the latest surprise in a case that had already gained notoriety because of its parallels to the unsolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway, 18. The suspect in that case, which captivated the nation in 2005, is Joran van der Sloot, who is being tried this fall in Peru for another murder. As far as Robyn Gardner is concerned, leads have been provocative. Along with the photos, authorities are looking into a $1.5 million accidental death insurance policy Giordano reportedly took out on Gardner before the trip.

Anne Hathaway: Obsessed With Kate Middleton, Royal Family, JWoww

The Duchess of Cambridge. The Boobies of Seaside. What’s not to love? We’ve already seen Anne Hathaway rapping this week. Now she’s opening up to Interview about a pop culture-loving side to her we never knew she had. The 28-year-old One Day actress had this to share with the mag: On her obsession : “Right now, I’m obsessed with Kate Middleton . Obsessed. I loved the Royal Wedding. I was so cynical going into it, and pseudo-political about the whole thing, but as soon as I saw her I was utterly charmed.” “I’m just completely enchanted by all things Kate and William. With everything she’s doing right now, I say, ‘Yay, Kate.’” On Jersey Shore : “When I first saw the show, I thought, Wow, they are having a very different experience there than my experience in Cape May.” “I thought the first season of the show was awesome because it was authentic, but I don’t watch anymore because they know there’s a camera there.” “The Situation is totally self-aware. He’s referring to himself as The Situation non-stop. In the episode I saw, his car got towed, and he was like, ‘We’ve got a situation here, and The Situation is the situation.’” On Snooki and J-Woww : “I watch MTV for escapist pleasure, but when I saw Snooki, I saw my twin . I couldn’t lose myself in the show because there I was.” “That being said, I think JWoww is amazing. I love JWoww . She’s intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend.” So true. Just ask Sammi: Jersey Shore Fight in Slow Motion

Is Paula Deen the Most Dangerous Person in America?

As any viewer of the Travel Channel knows, Anthony Bourdain is not one to hold back an opinion. Typically, it’s related to food. But the No Reservations host expounded on his views in a recent interview with TV Guide Magazine, saying of celebrity chef Paula Deen: “The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she’s proud of the fact that her food is f–king bad for you… plus, her food sucks.” Deen was not the only well-known personality to feel Bourdain’s wrath (“Does [Rachael Ray] even cook anymore? I don’t know why she bothers. To her credit, she never said she was good at it.”), but it’s safe to say she got the worst of it. What do you think? Is Deen the worst person in America?
