When Pigs Fly: Now Charlie Sheen Claims His Special Brand Of Crazy Is Just An Act

Unlike the rest of us, Charlie Sheen seems to have been oblivious to how his “bi-winning” and “goddess”-f*cking could eventually impact his life in the real world. Until now… Charlie Sheen will tell a Los Angeles judge his internet broadcast in which he threatened to cut children’s throat was a “piece of fiction” — and the hell-raising star is likening his new role to Hollywood’s controversial comic genius and raging boozer Lenny Bruce. “It’s a character in a piece of fiction,” Sheen told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview, when told his estranged wife Brooke Mueller is planning to introduce the two broadcasts into evidence as part of their child custody battle over 23-month-old twin sons Bob and Max. Lawyers for Sheen, 45, and Mueller, 33, are frantically negotiating a possible peace deal, in a desperate bid to to avert a court face-off on Tuesday morning. Mueller does not want Sheen to see their twin boys unsupervised, RadarOnline.com has been told. In a bizarre broadcast from his Sherman Oaks, California, home on Sunday night, Sheen was recorded telling his associate/Tweet master Bob Maron that he wanted to continue his stream-of-consciousness monologues during his new web series Sheen’s Korner, as opposed to the public access show format he broadcast the night before. The actor said: “I’m gonna write my sermons, I’m gonna deliver them like truth torpedoes, and people are gonna f **king take it or leave it, we know they’re gonna take it cause they can’t process it, so they must condemn it, and it they can’t condemn it, they’ll like f **king turn me into a God and worship it, and realize I’m behind them, cutting their throats, and their children’s.” As we previously reported, Mueller’s legal team of Sorrell Trope and Lori Howe will use that webcast to make an argument that the embattled actor is spiraling out of control. Responding to that, Sheen told RadarOnline.com: “OK, well they should use Two and Half Men to say I am a drunk and sleep with wh*res. That’s all I am gonna say. That’s my answer. Bring it. It’s so f*cking stupid, if that’s the best they’ve got. “ Yeah…. we wouldn’t want him around our children either. We hope his other ex-wife Denise Richards is going to lengths to keep him away from his daughters too. Maybe that’ll get him back on this side of crazytown. Source

‘American Idol’ Top 13 Perform Spirited Tributes To Personal Idols

Casey Abrams shouts, James Durbin croons and Naima Adedapo puts some dancehall into Rihanna’s Umbrella on Wednesday night. By Gil Kaufman “American Idol” top 13 Photo: Michael Becker / FOX It may not have been live , but Wednesday night’s (March 9) pre-taped “American Idol” top-13 performance show was lively, with plenty of surprises as this year’s baker’s dozen sought to solidify their onstage personalities off the bat. That meant that bearded lad-killer Casey Abrams served up some more gritty soul, Naima Adedapo showed off her reggae flair and Scott McCreery, well, let’s just say he stuck with the “good ol’ boy” songbook. But first up on “Your Personal Idol” night was precocious teen Lauren Alaina, who sang a song by her musical inspiration, country/pop superstar Shania Twain. Sounding a bit out of breath, Alaina swiveled her hips to “Any Man of Mine” and used all her considerable 16-year-old hair-flipping charm and reedy country twang to win over the crowd. Showing his tough side, Steven Tyler said he loved the song, but just wished it had been “a little more kickass” and Jennifer Lopez said it was time to shift into a higher gear. Randy Jackson said it was good, but didn’t allow Alaina to unleash her big, versatile voice. Abrams was right in the pocket with Joe Cocker’s cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends,” and mentor Jimmy Iovine encouraged him to feel the song with every inch of his body. Starting off sitting on the steps and singing in a soft, cuddly voice, Abrams did a slow walk down-stage as a group of gospel backup singers joined him, and his voice climbed into a high, raspy wail. Though it took a bit to warm up, by the end, Abrams was throwing in some bluesy improvisational howls that showed off his gritty side. Lopez said she was beside herself, telling a smiling Abrams, “[You] blew me away,” with Randy chiming in that he can always count on Casey to hit the notes and provide a show. “You are a rainbow of talent, man … and you are a plethora of passion,” Tyler tossed in. After scooting in as a wild card, Ashthon Jones went with Randy’s suggestion to sing Diana Ross’ “When You Tell Me That You Love Me.” She opened a bit shaky with some flat, breathy notes and never seemed to really find the right groove, singing a competent, but not stellar version of the tune. Randy deemed it safe, but complimented her for recognizing when she was going off key and pulling it back. Lopez said she also saw some budding professionalism in Jones’ stagecraft, but encouraged her to find more popular songs that the audience can sing along to. Speaking of somewhat obscure songs, resident quirky guy Paul McDonald chose indie singer/songwriter Ryan Adams’ “Come Pick Me Up.” Wearing a military jacket, McDonald seduced the crowed with a whispery delivery, building up and bouncing all around the stage like Coldplay’s Chris Martin, mixing arena stagecraft with an intimate, understated delivery. It was a bit pitchy for Tyler, who said he still loves anything Paul sings, praising his unique character. Jennifer said McDonald’s infectious smile translated into some grins in the crowd, but she wondered whether the song was too obscure. Sudden frontrunner Pia Toscano tried to solidify her status with Celine Dion’s version of the big weeper “All By Myself.” Wearing a skintight golden mini-dress, Toscano looked the part and hit he kind of showy notes a diva has to have in her pocket. Saying she topped even last week’s Pretenders showstopper, Lopez called it simply beautiful and Randy said despite taking on one of the dreaded big-three female singers, Pia nailed it. The last person you could imagine rocker James Durbin working with is hip-hopper Jim Jonsin, but the Lil Wayne producer put a thick beat to Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” and Durbin showed his sensitive side while showcasing his contemporary potential. “Yo, this dude can do anything man. … James Durbin is dangerous!” Randy gushed, saying he was impressed with JD’s versatility. Tyler heaped on some of his twisted praise as well, adding, “James, you have taken everything you’ve ever felt and kicked it into the middle of next week,” whatever that means. Haley Reinhart has been singing LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue” for most of her life, so she set aside the R&B sass for some hip-swaying yodeling and country-gal charm. Tyler was blown away and said Reinhart nailed it as Lopez gave her props for the versatility of her vocals. Randy? He said it was a bit sleepy, like being at a boring luau. It was R. Kelly’s uplifting “I Believe I Can Fly” for former spa concierge Jacob Lusk, who slowed it down into a vibrato-filled pop/gospel skyscraper, complete with a crazy falsetto run in the middle. “Pure passion, pure music, I can’t even judge ya, that’s how good you are,” Tyler said, kicking off a three-judge love-fest. After getting King of Pop comparisons last week, 16-year-old Thia Megia chose Michael Jackson’s (via Charlie Chaplin) “Smile,” bringing an old-school, jazz-diva class to the gentle ballad before a corny hip-hop-lite beat broke in and she kicked it up a notch. Randy loved the soft, Adele-like acoustic intro, but he and Steven thought it went a bit pitchy and wobbly in the second half. Talk about staying in your lane: Wild card Stefano Langone chose Stevie Wonder’s “Lately” and Karen Rodriguez kept tapping into her Latin background with Selena’s “I Could Fall in Love,” while resident country boy McCreery opted for Garth Brooks’ very trad “The River.” Langone over-emoted a bit and producer Polow Da Don’s thumping beat overwhelmed him at times, forcing Stefano to rush to keep up and keep the spotlight on his often-crystalline vocals. Selena superfan Rodriguez got a Beyonc

Minute Meditation: Prayer For Commitment

See the article here:

Commitment is a word that drives people. It is the moments in which you  become the most resolute about a decision or choice. What do your choices or non choices say about you? Many of us struggle with making commitments. Many of us do not honor our commitments. It is when we embrace the strength of our word do we become the person that we are destined to be. There is a wonderful  in  Matthew  5:37: Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. How many times have you wished that you could be stronger in w hat you would or world not do. Begin with this prayer: Lord, I give myself to You, whatever the cost may be.  Take every aspect of my life and use me for Your Kingdom to glorify Your Name.  I’m not here on earth to do my own thing, to seek my own fulfillment or my own glory.  I’m not here to indulge my desires, to increase my possessions, to impress people to be popular, to prove I’m somebody important, or to promote myself.  I’m not here to  even be relevant or successful by human standards. I’m here to please You.  To live like this, I yield myself to You, to know You, to love You, to obey You, and to grow in your Holy fear.  I desire to become a person who understands and lives in reverent awe of You.  I’ll do anything that You want me to do, go anywhere that You want me to go and say anything that You want me to say.  Father, there isn’t any gift that You have for me that I don’t want. If You want to use me in a way that I’m not used to, I yield myself to that.  Today, I affirm my love for You, my God, and I choose to live and minister in Your way.  I trust You, Lord, to do that which I cannot do for myself.  Teach me, guide me, and empower me to fear Your name. Today is that chance. You can start right here and now. Try this prayer for 40 days and see what changes in your life.

Biggie, 14 Years Later: Jadakiss Recalls His B.I.G. Birthday Bash

On the anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.’s death, the LOX rapper remembers how much it meant to have Biggie at his party. By Jayson Rodriguez Jadakiss Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage For an upstart Yonkers MC, having the “King of New York” at your birthday party is worth more than a guest verse on a song. And for Jadakiss, then a rookie sensation as a part of the LOX on Bad Boy Records, he remembers vividly the night the Notorious B.I.G. graced his bash with his presence. It took all of the rapper’s mettle to muscle up the nerve to even ask Biggie, his labelmate, to come to the party. “We were still new at Bad Boy, so we used to play our part,” ‘Kiss told MTV News, sharing his fondest memory of the Brooklyn lyricist on the 14-year anniversary of his death. “We were real humble. We wouldn’t ask for too much or none of that. But I remember thinking I needed Big to come to my birthday party. I was having my birthday party uptown at a spot called Mo Better. When the moment was right, I was like, ‘Yo, Big, I’m having a birthday this and that, think you could come through for me? Come through right quick?’ “That took all, for me to build up that energy to ask. It was amazing,” Jada recalled, laughing at the memory. “And he was like, ‘When?’ I said, ‘Tomorrow.’ He said, ‘Yeah, I’mma be there and chill with you.’ ” ‘Kiss was nervous, though, and he kept the invite on the hush. Then Big and Lil’ Cease pulled up to the party in a Lexus truck. “He chilled with me all night, popping bottles, chilling. I said, ‘This is amazing.’ The points I scored with Y.O. that night was incredible,” he said of gaining hometown respect. “Dudes was coming up to him, amazed that it was him. He was passing out champagne and cigars,” ‘Kiss added. “I said, ‘I’m the man right now. I got Big at my party. I’m chilling.’ ” Share your Notorious B.I.G. memories in the comments below.

Comedian suffered a massive heart attack Sunday. By James Dinh Mike DeStefano Photo: Michael Schwartz/ Getty Images “Last Comic Standing” finalist Mike DeStefano died Sunday after suffering a massive heart attack, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A rep for the 44-year-old DeStefano, who was a finalist on the NBC reality competition, confirmed the news in a statement to TMZ . “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a dear friend, a true gentleman, a great comic, and a fierce warrior, Mike DeStefano,” his rep said. “Mike had a lot of wisdom to share with the world from his own life lessons and he always did it with laughter and a smile. “It’s hard to think that there won’t be any more ‘hey sweetheart’ calls, because Mike always made my day with his mix of kindness and warmth AND profanity filled rants against the wrongs of the world. He was the genuine article. We love you and will miss you, Mike,” the statement continued. A former heroin addict, DeStefano had been clean for 11 years as well as HIV positive at the time of his death. Prior to competing on “Last Comic Standing,” the Bronx native had appeared on other shows, including “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” and Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham.” The comic was set to take his one-man show “A Cherry Tree” back to his home borough on Wednesday. He had also recently wrapped up a line of sold-out shows called “Drugs, Disease and Death: A Comedy.” Share your condolences for DeStefano’s family and friends in the comments.
