Following Digital Life Sacrifice campaign which was launched earlier this week, Kim Kardashian lends her famous face for a promotional ad of Alicia Keys' initiative, Keep a Child Alive. The reality TV star is seen lying in a coffin with tagline "Kim Kardashian Is Dead".
"Kim sacrificed her digital life to give real life to millions of others affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa and India," it was further explained. "That means no more Facebook or Twitter until we buy her life back." To help raise money for this charity, fans can visit BuyLife.org or text "KIM" to 90999.
Leigh Blake, president and co-founder of Keep a Child Alive charity, said of the cause, "We're trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we're all from?"
The other celebrities involved in this fund-raising effort include Jay Sean, Katie Holmes, Ryan Seacrest, Serena Williams, Usher, Willow Smith, Jaden Smith, Lady GaGa and Swizz Beatz.

Lily Allen Calls Columnist C**t Due to Fuming Over Marriage Report
British singer Lily Allen has launched a bitter online attack at a U.K. journalist who reported the star is planning to marry next year to help her overcome the loss of her baby. The "Smile" hitmaker was left devastated after losing her unborn son six months into her pregnancy in October.
The tragedy was compounded when she was hospitalized with septicaemia, which can occur when foetal material left behind in the womb after a miscarriage becomes infected. Allen has retreated to her English countryside home to grieve for her loss, and Britain's Mail on Sunday columnist Katie Nicholl claimed that she and boyfriend Sam Cooper were set to walk down the aisle in the New Year after "they realized through their grief that they absolutely adore one another and cannot live without each other".
But an angry Allen has taken aim at the writer on Twitter.com, launching a foul-mouthed tirade against Nicholl. On her page, she writes, "Katie Nicholl you're a lying c**t, leave me out of your s**tty column, you know nothing. I'm sorry, but there's a time and a place for disrespectful, badly researched or just made up journalism. It's not now Katie Nicholl."
Lily Allen Threatened by Journalist
Singer Lily Allen has toned down a foul-mouthed rant at a journalist on Twitter.com after the female columnist threatened to call in her lawyers. The "Smile" hitmaker branded British journalist Katie Nicholl a "lying c**t" in the astonishing outburst, after Nicholl wrote a report claiming Allen is planning to marry her partner Sam Cooper next year.
But within hours of posting the abusive message on Sunday, November 28, Allen took it to the microblogging website again to claim Nicholl had objected to the remarks and threatened legal action if they were not removed. Allen wrote that she would "amend" the comments - but still left her insults in the post.
She wrote, "Kati Nichol (sic) has been in touch and has threatened to consult her lawyer if i don't take that tweet down. She thinks it was too heavy handed. So i'll amend it. Katie Nicholl I THINK you're a c**t, leave me out of your sh**ty column, you know nothing about the intimate details of my life. There's a time and a place for your musings where i'm concerned, and it's not now."
Allen is currently recovering from the devastating loss of her baby after she suffered a miscarriage in October, six months into her pregnancy.

Denise Richards to Fully Co-Operate With Cops
Denise Richards is working with New York police detectives investigating a harassment complaint filed against her ex-husband Charlie Sheen following an incident in a hotel room with adult actress Capri Anderson. The "Two and a Half Men" star hit headlines in October when cops were called to his suite at Manhattan's plush Plaza Hotel over reports he had trashed his room during a night of passion with Anderson.
She claimed she was forced to lock herself in the bathroom after the actor accused her of taking his watch and began hurling insults at her and throwing items around the suite. The 22 year old subsequently filed a second-degree harassment charge against Sheen. Richards had visited her ex-husband on the day of the alleged incident and is said to have been staying across the hall from Sheen's hotel room when the fallout occurred.
Sources tell TMZ.com the former Bond girl went into Sheen's room after the altercation to see if there was anything that could be gathered as evidence in a police investigation. Richards' representatives were contacted by investigators on Tuesday, November 23 and the actress has agreed to "fully co-operate" with the case.
Detectives have also contacted Sheen's manager, Mark Burg, to ask for an interview in connection with Anderson's criminal complaint, according to the website. Initial reports suggested Anderson would file a complaint against Sheen for battery and false imprisonment, but the New York Post states the brunette made no claim that the TV star had injured her.
Sheen's lawyers have strongly denied the accusations and filed their own lawsuit in Los Angeles on Monday, November 22, accusing Anderson of extortion. His lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, as well as "compensatory damages" of at least $165,000 for the watch he claims Anderson took during their encounter.
David Arquette Is 'Wild and Crazy' Person
Bringing his "fun loving" personality on "Lopez Tonight", David Arquette told host George Lopez that he has always been a crazy and wild person although he is now in the middle of a separation from wife of 11 years Courteney Cox. "I've always been a wild man," he said.
"My nickname was 'David Good Times.' I like running around, having fun," David added during the Tuesday, November 23 interview. "I like meeting people. I did that privately for a long time because I wasn't ever going out. Now, I'm in the nightclub business. I'm going out."
David further stated that he doesn't care about what media wrote about him following his recent crazy partying. "I am a fun-loving, great person. I refuse to let these magazines vilify me, make me a demon. I am one of the best people you'll ever meet," the "Scream" actor explained.
"I've always been wild and crazy... why don't we all start focusing on being cooler... like loving, caring people," David, who was also ordered to change his suit into a kilt during the show, again stressed his point. "I'm just sick of cutthroat society and everybody being jerks."
His "crazy and wild" personality aside, David talked about his estranged relationship with Courteney, insisting that "everything's cool" between them. The "Pushing Daisies" actor said, "I love my wife, she loves me. We care about each other. We're at different places right now and we are figuring out what's next... we'll see what happens."

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson Celebrates The New Stage of Their Relationship
Newly engaged-couple Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson have celebrated the new stage of their relationship with family and friends. The pair, who announced their engagement earlier this week, threw a party of about 40 and 50 people, including a few NFL players, on Thursday night, November 18 and Us Magazine has given details of the celebration.
Held at the California home of Jessica's parents, Joe Truett Simpson and Tina Ann Drew, the "Employee of the Month" actress and Eric treated their guests with hamburger and veggie burger sliders, chicken skewers, mini pizzas, shrimp, and for dessert, mini cupcakes. A friend gushed, "They were very happy. It was the first time they had seen a lot of their friends since the engagement."
Jessica and Eric's wedding date has not yet been revealed. Jessica, however, may not be able to plan the nuptials in near time because she will be busy enough when her second holiday album "Happy Christmas" is released in the U.S. on November 23. She is also scheduled to perform during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Judge Refuses Jeff Goldblum's Request
A Los Angeles judge has refused "The Fly" star Jeff Goldblum a restraining order against a woman who is about to be released from a mental institution. The actor's lawyer went to court on Friday, November 19 and asked for a restraining order against Linda Ransom, claiming she had been stalking the star since 2001 - but the judge refused.
He insisted Goldblum would have to wait for Ransom to create a fresh threat, according to TMZ. Ransom was locked up in 2009 after she was declared incompetent.
Goldblum's previous restraining order against Ransom expired while she was being treated.
Miranda Kerr Supports behind A Telephone Helpline to Prevent Young Suicides
Mum-to-be Miranda Kerr has thrown her support behind a telephone helpline in a bid to prevent young suicides - after a similar tragedy in her own family last year. The model, who is expecting a baby with husband Orlando Bloom in 2011, was devastated when one of her relatives committed suicide in 2009.
And she's backing Australia's Too Many, Too Soon initiative, which aims to give advice over the phone to upset youngsters. Kerr explains, "The sadness of losing someone, especially in these circumstances, is something we live with and continually question how it could have been prevented."
In the past few months, many celebrities have lent their faces for numerous anti-suicide campaigns such as Trevor Project. This came on the heels of a gay teen's death after he was bullied by his roommate.
Jake Gyllenhaal Stole Swimming Trunks
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal had an early run in with the law as a young teenager after he was dared to steal a pair of swimming trunks and walk out of the store wearing nothing but the skimpy pants. The "Prince of Persia: Sands of Time" star admits he was just 16 when he rose to the "exciting" challenge, despite the chance of being arrested for the stunt.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I was with my best friend at the time and he would always dare me to do things - I guess my natural sense of performance would come out. We were in the Beverly Center just near Hollywood and walked by the Speedo store, and he said, 'I dare you to go in there, put on a Speedo in the dressing room and walk out to see if they follow you. No clothes'."
"I was tackled by security guards as the alarm went off, but I just kept walking and walking, right down through the marble hall. It was pretty exciting."

Katy Perry Congratulates Pink's Pregnancy
Katy Perry has congratulated pregnant singer Pink after she announced her baby news earlier this week. The "So What" hitmaker revealed she is expecting her first child with husband Carey Hart during an interview with U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday, November 17.
Pink also told her friends and fans about the pregnancy in a post on Twitter.com, writing, "My wish for this pregnancy, besides a healthy happy baby, is for the paparazzi to leave us alone and let me gain my weight in peace."
Her singer pal Perry responded by writing, "Congratulations & amen to your wish," while Pink replied, "Ha! Thanx (sic) fierce woman." Perry is not the only star to celebrate Pink's baby news - former Spice Girls Melanie C wrote on her Twitter page, "Congratulations! It is without a doubt the best thing ever", and DeGeneres took to the microblogging site after the interview, writing, "Pink spilled the beans on my show today. She's pregnant! She's gonna make one fun mama."

Oksana Grigorieva Taped Calls With Mel Gibson
Oksana Grigorieva resorted to recording her phone conversations with ex-boyfriend Mel Gibson in a bid to gather evidence for prosecutors in the event she was murdered. The former couple is locked in a bitter custody battle over baby daughter Lucia following a split earlier this year and Gibson's name has been dragged through the tabloids since the Russian singer accused him of attacking her during a heated argument in January.
Grigorieva claims she feared for her life after the alleged incident, when she is said to have suffered bruising and had two of her teeth knocked out. Tape recordings of her subsequent phone calls with Gibson have since leaked online and Grigorieva admits she felt the need to document the arguments because she was convinced she would end up dead, reports TMZ.com.
In a candid interview with TV newsman Larry King, she says, "I started taping it around 11 o'clock because I thought, 'I'm actually not going to live through the night'. I wanted my mother to be able to prove that if I'm dead that this is who did it."
However, Grigorieva denies Gibson's behavior was the result of booze - because the actor, who has battled alcohol issues in the past, was sober whenever they were together. She adds, "There was no liquor, not once. He never drank... I've never ever seen him drinking."
"That's why I keep saying on those tapes, 'You need medication'. He does need medication for the sake of our daughter. He needs to be treated." King's full interview with the Russian singer was due to air in the U.S. on Wednesday night, November 16.
Jane Holzer Has Testified in A New York Court
Reclusive model/actress Jane Holzer has testified in a New York court about how she was tricked into handing over $220,000 to an alleged conman for a stolen Andy Warhol painting. Holzer, the pop artist's former protegee, took the stand at Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, November 15 to give evidence against James Biear, an ex-chauffeur who was charged with fraud in 2009.
Biear is accused of stealing 11 Warhol works from his former employer, elderly art collector Kenward Elmslie, and transferring $3.2 million from one of the ailing millionaire's bank accounts into his own. The defendant is said to have later sold one of the works - Warhol's famous Heinz 57 wooden ketchup crate - to Holzer for $220,000 and she told the court how she spent a further $20,000 to have the painting restored, reports the New York Post.
The actress, dubbed Baby Jane in the 1960s, was among the first of Warhol's superstars to attract intense media attention before shunning the spotlight in the 1990s. The case continues.

'Bachelorette' Star Jen Schefft Is Officially A First-Time Mother
Former "The Bachelorette" star Jen Schefft is officially a first-time mother. Jen welcomed a baby girl with husband Joe Waterman on Saturday, November 13 and named their first daughter Mae Elizabeth Waterman, Us Magazine reported.
"She was 7-pounds even at 20 inches," Jen shared to the site. "She and her mommy are home now and doing great!" Mae is treated with an Alice in Wonderland-themed nursery, just like the Chicago PR executive revealed back in October. Of the baby's room, she said, "There are stenciled flowers, a teapot on the table and even the lights are colored with moss."
Jen first joined the cast of reality TV show "The Bachelorette" in April 2003 during which she won the heart of Andrew Firestone and accepted his proposal. However, the relationship ended several months later and Jen was later named the new Bachelorette in the series' third season.
Jen chose art gallery director Jerry Ferris but rejected his proposal, stating that the chemistry was not there. Jen then found love away from reality TV show in Chicago public relations executive Joe Waterman whom she wed in May 2009.
Not Being Recognized on Public Transport Emma Watson Finds It Funny
Emma Watson is rarely bothered by fans on London's tube network - because onlookers don't believe the "Harry Potter" star would travel by public transport. The actress moved from Britain to the U.S. in 2009 to enroll in an English Literature course at Rhode Island's prestigious Brown University, but still returns to her native country.
And Watson loves heading out and about in the U.K. capital, as she is hardly ever recognized. She tells Britain's Celebs on Sunday magazine, "I do actually (go on the tube) and the funny thing is that people look at me and they go, 'Is that the girl from Harry Potter?' And then they go, 'No, it can't be, she's on public transport'."
"And I'm sat there and I'm like, 'Ha, ha. That's funny'," she adds.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Have Renewed Their Wedding Vows
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have renewed their wedding vows on Sunday, November 14, Entertainment Tonight reported. The couple made their second trip down the aisle together in a pre-sunset ceremony at a beachfront house in Carpeteria, California.
In pictures obtained by the site, Heidi was seen donning a Jenny Yoo gown while groom Spencer sported a Rick Ducar Suit. According to the site, Heidi and Spencer picked a multi-flavored cake decorated with white chocolate seashells from Hansen's Cakes and rings from Alan Friedman.
Both Heidi and Spencer agreed that the Sunday ceremony is their first wedding. Spencer said, "(This time) it's just me and my bride on a little secret beach with nobody else and it's just about her. Versus last time it was about everything else, it was about drama, it was about ratings."
"It was about everyone but us, so this is really our first wedding about Spencer and I and our love," Heidi added. "Now I feel like I can finally just be Heidi and just be in a marriage and just be a person. I'm just really enjoying every day." She previously described their first nuptials, in April 2009, as "such a crazy time."
Gordon Ramsay's Mistress Writes a Letter to His Wife
Gordon Ramsay's personal woes are reaching boiling point - a woman who alleges she's the chef's former mistress has penned an open letter to his wife Tana in light of the star's public family feud. The British chef's bitter fall out with his wife Tana's relatives hit headlines last month when he sacked her father, Chris Hutcheson, from his post as CEO of Gordon Ramsay Holdings.
He tried to mend his relationship with his mother-in-law Greta by writing her an open letter in the British press, but went on to criticize her in another British tabloid. Now Ramsay has landed in more hot water - "serial mistress" Sarah Symonds, who claimed in 2008 to have had a longrunning affair with the star, has also written an open letter, urging Tana to leave her famously fiery husband.
In the post on her blog, PillowTalk, Symonds writes, "Dear Tana - Hand on heart, I write to you here today with all good intentions, because after reading - along with the rest of the world - all that is being said about you by Gordon, and by your father, I really feel for you. I mean, it can't be easy for a woman like you to be perceived by both of them (Ramsay and Hutcheson) as SO weak, and so easy to manipulate..."
"Tana, you are a successful woman, mother, and author, and represent what so many married women aspire to be. What they are saying is damaging and it's unfair of them. After all, they are the ones with the secrets! I know full well what it is like to be manipulated by bullies and powerful men with huge egos Tana, and sadly your husband featured as one of them in my life for way too long..."
"Anyhow, I am in your corner Tana as I certainly know how hard it is to discover that people you've loved and trusted are not who you thought they were at all. It is HEARTBREAKING. Trust me, I know that feeling. And, although I don't know your mother from Adam, if she really did give you that advice about dumping Gordon, she kinda has my vote here I have to say...."

Katy Perry and Russell Brand Won't Get Marry
Katy Perry has vowed not to follow in the footsteps of David Beckham and Victoria Adams by going into business with her new husband Russell Brand - because they're too focused on their own projects.
The singer wed the "Get Him to the Greek" star last month, but has been busy promoting her latest album, "Teenage Dream", and new fragrance, Purr, while Brand has been preparing for a new movie role.
She's dismissed rumors the pair is planning to go into business together like the Beckhams, but has praised the soccer ace and his wife for their high-profile ventures. Perry tells Britain's News of the World tabloid, "I have no criticism for them at all, they're the f**king Beckhams. They're as big as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie."
"Our map is different. Me and Russell have different goals. He's really intensely into his book right now. He's also editing and is about to star in another film. I'm halfway through the record and about to launch my perfume, Purr. There's a lot going on."
Porn Flick Will Be Directed by Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt
Although their sex tape failed to be launched, Heidi Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt's career in porn flick may take off anyway. The couple, who recently announced their bankruptcy, has received an offer to go behind the lens and direct an explicit film, TMZ reported.
In a letter sent by founder and co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment, Steven Hirsch, the porn company is offering Heidi and Spencer the porn directing role. The letter revealed that the idea of the bid is to allow the twosome to try their hands at film making and at the same time explore their "wildest fantasies."
Furthermore, the site reported that Heidi and Spencer as well as Vivid's team will get together in the near future to discuss about the possible deal. The couple hasn't responded to the report but Spencer seemingly has his own answer about "a deal with the devil". On Friday, November 12, he tweeted, "Somebody asked me today if I made a deal with the devil. I said 'Don't you think I would have made a better deal?' "
On another news, Heidi and Spencer announced to "The Kyle and Jackie O Show" 's hosts that they were renewing their wedding vows on Sunday. "This is such an exciting day, if only you guys knew what we were doing today," he told the hosts. "For me, this is my first wedding," Heidi added, explaining that their last wedding "was just so awful."

'Glee' Star Chord Overstreet Says Playgirl Is Not Possible
"Glee" star Chord Overstreet has turned down the chance to strip off for the pages of Playgirl magazine. The hunky actor, who plays a singing football player in the musical TV show, was offered up to $100,000 to show off his toned torso for the raunchy publication - but he said no.
A Playgirl spokesperson tells EOnline.com, "We couldn't work it out. Chord's people decided against it." Playgirl bosses also missed out on another celebrity spread after they snubbed an opportunity to buy leaked photos which allegedly featured Kanye West baring all.
The rapper hit the headlines last month when shots of a man nude from the stomach down began circulating online, with several websites claiming it was West in the snaps - and now Playgirl's editors regret losing out on the scoop. The rep adds, "It would have cost us $100,000 (to buy the West shots), and we said no. We should have said yes."
Mel Gibson Surrendered an Arsenal of Weapons to Police
Mel Gibson surrendered an arsenal of weapons to police this summer after ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva filed for a restraining order against the star amid allegations of domestic violence. Grigorieva obtained the protective order against Gibson in June, two months after the couple split, claiming she feared for her life after he reportedly physically assaulted her.
Court documents from July, obtained by TMZ.com, show Judge Scott Gordon ordered Gibson to surrender several weapons to the Los Angeles Police Department as a result of her allegations. The order to surrender, dated July 15, is standard procedure when domestic violence is alleged.
According to the legal papers, Gibson surrendered two 9 millimeter semi-automatic handguns, a rifle and a 12 gauge shotgun, as well as a number of magazines and cases for the weapons. Gibson and Grigorieva have been locked in a bitter custody battle for their baby daughter Lucia since the split in April.
Doctor Rejects to Admit Seeing Any Evidences That Oksana Grigorieva's Baby Injured
A paediatrician who examined Mel Gibson's daughter after a reported altercation with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has cast doubt over allegations the tot was injured in the fight, because the child showed no signs of harm. The "Braveheart" star is currently locked in a bitter custody battle with Grigorieva amid claims he hit her during a heated argument in January.
The Russian singer told police she was holding baby Lucia at the time of the said assault, and the girl suffered a minor injury to her chin. But Dr. Linda Nussbaum has denied seeing any evidence the child had been struck when she checked over little Lucia on January 7, a day after the ex-couple's fall out.
According to TMZ, Grigorieva had taken her child to the doctor's surgery to check on a protrusion on Lucia's belly button, but failed to mention anything about the alleged injury to her face. In a sworn court declaration, obtained by the website, Nussbaum says, "... I did not see any symptoms of trauma, abuse, bruising, redness or injury on her face, head or elsewhere on her body."
The doctor adds, "Ms. Grigorieva did not state to me that Lucia had suffered any trauma, abuse or injury of any kind." Gibson and Grigorieva split in April.

Selena Gomez Saying Edward Cullen Is Hot but Not Robert Pattinson
Despite being a close pal of Taylor Lautner, Selena Gomez recently claimed her heart belongs to Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen rather than Taylor's Jacob Black in "Twilight" movie series. "When I watched the first 'Twilight' film, I definitely liked Edward," the 18-year-old Disney beauty said in a new interview with Top of the Pops.
Refusing to let her best pal Taylor down, Selena further added, "I can't help being in Team Edward! But Taylor is great in the movies, too, though. He's super-talented." And even though Selena has confessed that Edward has melted her heart, she doesn't have the same feelings for Robert, saying "Do I think Robert Pattinson is hot? I think Edward, his character, is."
Her love confession aside, Selena recently hit The Grove where she met Mario Lopez for Mario's show, "Extra". Beside chatting with the "Nip/Tuck" actor, Selena also stunned fans surrounding the venue by showing off her dance move with the host.

Katy Perry Not Impressed with Organizers at Her Microsoft-sponsored Concert
Katy Perry wasn't impressed with organizers at her Microsoft-sponsored concert on Monday, November 8 night when she found out they hadn't laid on free drinks for her fans. The "I Kissed a Girl" superstar helped promote the computer company's new Windows Phone 7 by playing a free gig at New York's Roseland Ballroom for a lucky crowd of devotees.
During the performance, Perry asked the revelers if they were enjoying the open bar, and after a lackluster return from the audience, the singer realized fans had to pay for their booze - and she wasn't happy about it, according to New York gossip column PageSix. She growled, "It's not free? It's Microsoft! Don't they own half the world?"
Perry was not the only celebrity hired to help launching Microsoft phone. Maroon 5 were also on hand but they hosted the free concert at the Fillmore in San Francisco.

Rihanna Pays Tribute to Jamaican Legend Bob Marley in Her Newly-renovated Home
Rihanna has paid tribute to Jamaican legend Bob Marley in her newly-renovated Los Angeles home - by creating a reggae room as a shrine to the late superstar. The "Umbrella" hitmaker has spent a fortune decorating her new purchase to her individual tastes, investing in elaborate gun-shaped chandeliers and huge sofas.
And the Bajan star reveals she has dedicated one room as an homage to the "No Woman, No Cry" icon, covering the den in artwork of the singer and painting it in the colors of Marley's Rastafarian religion. She tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The Bob Marley room is my loungey room, so there's incense burning, there's a painting on the wall of Bob Marley in black and white, which I love.
"The rest of the room goes from green into yellow into red. Then there's a little bar with the old school wood that's usually used in Jamaican houses. There's a little coffee table and these seats that are like big pillows on the floor, so it's not formal at all. There are lots of Bob Marley books, lyric books. He's one of my favorite artists of all time - he really paved the way for every other artist out of the Caribbean."
Cristiano Ronaldo Awarded 'Substantial' Damages From Bosses at A U.K Newspaper
Soccer ace Cristiano Ronaldo has been awarded "substantial" damages from bosses at a U.K. newspaper over an article alleging the star put his injured ankle at risk with his excessive partying. The Real Madrid striker underwent surgery on his ankle in July 2008 and was ruled out of playing the sport for his then-team Manchester United for more than two months.
During that time, Britain's Daily Telegraph published a report alleging Ronaldo had risked further injury by dancing at a Hollywood club. The sports star launched legal action against the Telegraph Media Group Ltd, claiming the report caused him embarrassment, offense and distress and could damage his professional reputation.
On Monday, November 8, a judge at London's High Court ruled in Ronaldo's favor and the star, who was not present at the hearing, was awarded substantial libel damages from the newspaper group over the article, according to the AFP.
Charlie Sheen on Hotel Meltdown
Charlie Sheen has broken his silence over the Plaza hotel drama on October 26. The "Two and a Half Men" actor, who was found drunk and half-naked with a naked woman who was identified as an escort at that time, told Extra over the weekend that the incident was blown out of proportion.
"If a guy has one bad night, everybody goes insane and panics. I'm not panicking," Sheen said. On allegedly missing his rare Patek Philippe 5970 watch worth $150,000 during the meltdown, the 45-year-old actor claimed, "The way I look at it, if you have expensive tastes, you gotta be prepared for expensive losses."
And the watch isn't the only thing Sheen might lose. The actor recently filed for divorce from estranged wife Brooke Mueller. However, despite the hotel blowup and the divorce, Sheen convinced that he's doing just fine. "Doing great, just finished a show... (I'm) back to work. Everything's good, everything's good," so he claimed.
Beside continuing his work in TV series "Two and a Half Men", Sheen might also land a role in upcoming big screen project. The actor has been recently linked to the "The Expendables" sequel, in which he might play a CIA agent.

F1 Champion Jenson Button Was Left Terrified in Brazil
Formula One world champion Jenson Button was left terrified after an armed gang tried to ambush his car in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday night, November 6. The British sportsman was traveling through a shanty town in the city in an armored car after the qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix when his vehicle was surrounded by six men brandishing machine guns.
The quick-thinking driver took control of the situation by using the reinforced Mercedes to force their way through several cars on the road. And Button is thankful the chauffeur had the courage to get him and his fellow passengers out of danger.
He says, "We were going back from the track and were outside a shanty town and moving slowly on a busy road. I saw a dog come out, which was very cute. The next thing I saw was a man with a gun. I said, 'Isn't that a gun?' and as soon as I said that, the driver angled the car and floored it. That's when we saw six men, all of them brandishing machine guns."
"My driver was a legend. He bounced off about five cars. We were driving over the top of them. It was very scary. I don't know whether they knew who it was they were ambushing. But I am glad I didn't have my girlfriend Jessica (Michibata) with me. She would have been terrified." Additional security measures have now been put in place to ensure the safety of all drivers in Brazil for the race.
Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez Are as Loving as Ever
"The Bachelorette" star Ali Fedotowsky and fiance Roberto Martinez are as loving as ever. The couple, who got engaged on the ABC reality show, took part in the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation walk in San Diego on Sunday, November 7.
Ali and Roberto both sported white T-shirts with pink-"The Bachelor"-words printed on it. Ali matched the embed with a pink short and running shoes, while taking cover behind her aviator sunglasses. Roberto, in the meantime, donned blue shorts, baseball hat and a soft pink handband.
Ali also took the excitement of the event, which was also supported by fellow "The Bachelor" star Valishia Savage, on her Twitter page. "Headed to downtown SD for the Susan G Komen Breast cancer walk w/ @Roberto_m_jr and @KathrynSherlock. Come out and show your support!!!" the former Facebook accounts manager wrote, before adding "Had such a great time at the walk. Heard so many inspiring stories!"
This wasn't the first time Ali joined forces for Susan G Komen. Back in October, Ali along with Warner Bros. promoted a campaign that each time one of the 16 love stories movies, including "The Notebook", "City of Angels" and "Music and Lyrics", is rented or downloaded, a donation would be made for the cancer foundation.
"I'm honored to be working with Warner Bros. to promote such an amazing charity effort. Sadly, in my lifetime, I will know someone who will suffer this disease," Ali said at that time. "I hope through my efforts to promote awareness of early detection and routine screenings, women will hear this message and someone's life will be saved."

LeAnn Rimes Was A Noticeable Absentee at The Shape Magazine Party
LeAnn Rimes was a noticeable absentee at the Shape magazine party on Thursday, November 4 - the country star stayed home after falling ill. The singer has been embroiled in controversy after editors put her on the cover of the American magazine, then subsequently apologized for their "terrible mistake" following complaints about the spread.
Several readers were furious that Rimes was being saluted despite her affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, which led to the break-up of both their marriages. But Rimes didn't make it to the Los Angeles bash at Trousdale club to celebrate her issue - she was recovering from a bout of influenza.
Her spokesperson tells the New York Post's Page Six, "Unfortunately (Rimes) caught the flu, and under doctor's orders was advised not to travel or go out." Rimes previously told fans she found it "very contradictory" that Shape bosses were throwing her a cocktail reception amid the scandal.

Kelly Clarkson Drops Tennessee Home�� Price
Kelly Clarkson is feeling the pressure of the worldwide credit crunch - she has reportedly slashed the price of her Tennessee home by $41,000 (GBP27,330) in a desperate bid to sell it. The former "American Idol" star put her luxury home on the market for just over $1.5 million (GBP1 million), but the sprawling five bedroom, six bathroom mansion in Nashville's posh Belle Meade area has yet to sell, according to the National Enquirer.
Clarkson, who bought the estate in 2007, is now planning to take a major property market hit.
Kelly Clarkson is not the only celebrity who is forced to lower the price of her property. Val Kilmer recently also slashed price of his New Mexico ranch by a massive $10 million because it has not been sold since put on market in 2009.
Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes Engaged
Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes's engagement rumor is still swirling. Although a friend earlier this week debunked the report, sources have now told E! Online that the two are indeed engaged. The sources said Eddie has privately asked LeAnn to be his wife and she accepted.
The engagement story made headline after Eddie posted a picture of him getting down on his knee while LeAnn showed off her shocked face during Halloween. Along with the image, the "Samantha Who?" actor tweeted, "I couldn't resist... ." The snap, however, has since been claimed as "just part of the Halloween fun."
On the recent engagement rumor, Eddie and LeAnn haven't confirmed or denied yet. The two controversially hooked up in 2009 after starring together in "Northern Lights". They were at that time married to their respective spouses and both later settled their respective divorces. During a recent interview on "In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: All Access Nashville", the singer claimed she doesn't regret the affair.
"It happens every day to so many people," LeAnn said of the infidelity. "Nothing I'm going to say is going to change it. I do know that and I have accepted that." Eddie added, "The truth is that we're human beings. We make mistakes and we learn from them, but we're human. We fell in love."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Live Together in Their Own Private Place
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart reportedly live together in their own private place during "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I" filming. According to Life & Style, Robert and Kristen, who have been in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the rest of the movie's cast and crew, are shunning hotel accommodation for a "love nest."
A source told the publication that the longtime rumored lovers "moved out of their hotel November 1 and into their own house." The source went on saying that the two "wanted more privacy, plus it's more fun to play house in a real house." Before living in the alleged love nest, the pair reportedly stayed at the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center.
This wasn't the first time Robert and Kristen were said living in the same place. The on/off screen lovers allegedly played house together in Vancouver, Canada during "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" shooting. Back in August, they were also said shacking up at a Bel Air property nestled next to the Stone Canyon Reservoir, Los Angeles.
Sienna Miller Gives Prezent to 'Factory Girl' Director
Sienna Miller has paid tribute to her "Factory Girl" director George Hickenlooper, praising the moviemaker for making her feel so "loved" and "appreciated" on a film set. Hickenlooper, 47, passed away on Friday, October 29 after suffering a heart attack in Denver, Colorado, where he was promoting his latest movie, "Casino Jack" - starring Kevin Spacey and Kelly Preston.
Spacey was quick to pay tribute to the director, and Miller has followed in his footsteps with her own personal memories of Hickenlooper. The British star gushes about the moviemaker's loving nature - and she hopes his legacy will live on through those who knew him. In a statement released to JustJared, Miller says, "There are people who make films for glory and recognition, and there are people who make films. George Hickenlooper was a lover of film."
"He understood that the medium needn't be manipulative, but appreciated, through his own experience; that it could be life altering, in the most beautiful way. He was generous of spirit. He asked for nothing, and, as a result, received all. I have never felt more loved or appreciated as an actor, and, as a result, have never been more honest in a film."
"The lesson that he can teach us all is this: The more you love and embrace people purely, the more you set people free. Through pure openness, you will touch people. George was childlike in his enthusiasm. I hope that others will learn, that from this generosity of spirit, creativity flows. Surrender all ego and tell beautiful tales. Rest in peace my sweet friend."
Denzel Washington Has Come to The Defense of Barack Obama
Actor Denzel Washington has come to the defense of U.S. President Barack Obama after the American leader's party suffered a string of humiliating defeats in the country's mid-term elections on Tuesday, November 2. The Oscar-winner was a vocal supporter of Obama during the 2008 election campaign and he has vowed to continue supporting the Democrats frontman, despite the party losing many seats to the Republicans following the vote on Tuesday.
Washington is convinced the voters deserted Obama's party because of the state of the country's economy, and he wants to see more jobs created for Americans. He tells the AFP, "I think that the vote speaks more of people's frustration about their own economic situation; about the frustration of the voters with all of the politicians in America."
"The number one priority in America and probably in most countries right now is jobs. People feel powerless, so one way to exercise their power is through the vote."

Due to 'Harry Potter' Role Tom Felton Lost Childhood
Actor Tom Felton hated his school days - he was bullied by his peers because of his role in hit movie franchise "Harry Potter". The star was thrust into the spotlight as a young teenager when he was cast as blond-haired villain Draco Malfoy in the series, based on J.K. Rowling's best-selling books.
But he insists fame and fortune isn't any consolation for the torment he suffered at the hands of jealous peers. Felton tells HeatWorld, "I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn't beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy."
"You have to bear in mind that Harry Potter wasn't cool. I wasn't part of the 'Terminator' franchise." The 23 year old even suggests he regrets taking on such a big job so young - because it robbed him of his childhood.
He adds, "One thing that people keep saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up for missing out on my childhood, but the idea of putting a price on your childhood is ridiculous. You will never get those years back and you can't put a price on them. And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."
