Catch up on those stories, plus a potential suicide scare from one of Charlie Sheen’s porn pals, and a viral hit that may go down as the worst/best ever … The Pulse Daily Recap – March 15
So much for those John Stamos rumors. The actor, who has been recurring on Glee this season, shot down chatter that he’d be taking over for Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men yesterday. “I don’t want to replace anyone, especially Charlie Sheen,” Stamos told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS radio show. “It’s just not where my head’s at.” Stamos does find the talk “flattering,” but he says he has no idea how or why it started. “Nobody has officially talked to me and, quite frankly, as flattering as it is… it’s really not part of my career plan right now. I’m just on a different trajectory. I’m ready to have my own show.” So… it won’t be Stamos. It won’t be Rob Lowe. Will anyone take the gig? Got anyone in mind who would be a fit, THG readers?
The same man who cracks us up each week with dry-witted 30 Rock quotes has grown (somewhat) serious when it comes to Charlie Sheen’s career. In an editorial for The Huffington Post , based on his own experiences with executives in the movie and TV business, Baldwin addresses the troubled actor and says: “You can’t win. Really. You can’t.” Meaning what, exactly? Baldwin gives us a look inside the industry and continues: “No actor is greater than the show itself when the show is a hit. And, in that regard, [executives] are often right. Add to that the fact that the actor who is torturing their diseased egos is a drug-addled, porn star-squiring, near-Joycean Internet ranter, and they really want you to go.” Baldwin is correct that almost all hit shows remain popular and profitable after stars leave. Look at NYPD Blue , ER , CSI . In the end, here’s what Sheen should do, according to Baldwin: “Sober up, Charlie. And get back on TV, if it’s not too late. This is America. You want to really piss off Chuck and Warner Brothers and CBS? Beg for America’s forgiveness. They will give it to you. And then go back. You are a great television star… As I learned from closely observing Tony Bennett so I could impersonate him on SNL , this is supposed to be fun. P.S… buy Cryer a really nice car.” [Photos: Fame, WENN.com]
“The party is a casual and child friendly celebration,” a source tells us of the bash at Kathy and Rick Hilton#39;s Bel Air home. “It#39;s all about Max and Bob and their friends. They seem to be having a great time, and so is Brooke.” Sheen was never expected to attend. Charlie Sheen#39;s “winning” ways didn#39;t score him an invite to his sons#39; birthday party. The troubled actor#39;s boys, Max and Bob who turn 2 on Monday, celebrated at a party Sunday with their mom, Brooke Mueller, and

Damn bruh, you STILL need rehab??? Thought you woulda BEEN got sober… The phone rang early yesterday morning. On the other end was Dwight Gooden. His voice was clear and positive. “I’m flying out today to California for ‘Celebrity Rehab,’ ” Gooden, 46, told The Post from New York. “I’m looking to change my life, to get things right. I want to attack my problems and figure out why I go back to alcohol and drugs. I’m really looking forward to doing this. I’m ready. I’ve got to get it done. It’s totally up to me to get it done.” Doctor K meets Doctor Drew. Perhaps together they can strike out the addiction demons that have plagued Gooden for more than half his life. Better late than never we suppose. Congrats Doc, now take Charlie Sheen’s advice and stay off the crack, and drink chocolate milk. Sidebar: Let the record show that Doc is wearing a matching denim suit. That is all. Source

No wonder Jon Cryer wasn’t that angry when Charlie Sheen went off on him this week, labeling him as a traitor and a troll . Turns out… … the actor actually is a troll! Admitted Cryer on Conan last night: “There’s not a lot of tolerance for people like me… To avoid ignorance and bullying, I’ve had to hide the fact that I’m a troll. You have no idea how much time and money I’ve spent on electrolysis and hair dye and reconstructive surgery so I can look like this.” Jon Cryer: I’m a Troll! Other trolls in Hollywood, according to the sitcom star? Paul Giamatti, Helen Mirren and Andy Richter. But they can take solace in Cryer’s comforting words: “I’m here to tell you: It gets better. Not gay better. But sort of better.” See, don’t worry about it, Charlie. No reason to issue an apology. Or even an apol .
Home wrecking legend Michelle “Bombshell” McGee is living the dream. She’s got a hot tattoo on her forehead and a new boyfriend in Luke Urek. He’s from Australia. Fortunately for the tattooed exotic dancer and former Jesse James mistress, there’s no home for her to wreck with Urek, a fellow ink-o-phile. McGee said she was told by a psychic she’d meet her future husband Down Under. Wonder if the psychic also said she would end Sandra Bullock’s marriage. Then she laid eyes on her male doppelganger, freestyle motocross rider Urek, while performing at Sexpo last year. Guess you can call it love at first sight. “We actually met through a mutual friend,” Michelle McGee said. “I came down to visit Luke and arrived here last week, but have to leave on Sunday.” Hang over her, Luke. She’s one of a kind.
