As Charlie Sheen's Tiger Blood Train Wreck continues, comedians keep on finding ways to milk laughs out of it, and the latest good one comes from Jay Leno, as you can see in the video below. Check out Leno's vision of a new Two and a Half Men, with Donny Osmond taking over as a kinder and gentler version of Charlie Sheen!

Charlie Sheen has been in and out of trouble for years due his problems with addiction, and he has tried getting drug rehab, professional help and therapy many times. But this time he seems to have gone further over the edge then ever, with an extended manic episode that's great for entertainment but not looking all that healthy, and possibly ruining his hit TV show. Maybe this will be the future of the show, replacing Adonis DNA with some squeaky clean Osmond DNA.

On "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Monday, Kimmel said, "Charlie Sheen, in case you've not been watching television today, has officially gone crazy. And not just a little crazy. Gary Busey thinks he's nuts." He then aired a one-minute compilation clip of Sheen's wildest lines followed by a compilation of Sheen saying the word "Winning." And Jay Leno's most recent contribution to the Sheen gallery has been to joke that Donny Osmand is replacing Sheen on "Two and a Half Men," complete with a video of Osmond replacing Sheen in a bunch of clips.

In a story some find comical but others will find disturbing, a man was arrested for battery after talking his way into his ex-girlfriend's mother's house, and then folded the woman inside her fold-up couch.

Some have been writing about this as if it is fodder for humor, as seen below, but it sounds pretty scary to me. I hope he faces real consequences for it, and has to try his luck taking on someone his own size in prison, instead of his lawyers getting him out of it. See below for more info and pics.

Via The Smoking Gun, our latest favorite crazy person is facing a battery charge after he showed up at his ex-girlfriend's mother's house, asked to use the bathroom, and then allegedly folded the poor woman into the fold-out couch upon which she was lying. These people live in Florida. It is unclear, according to the report, "how long the woman was entombed inside the piece of furniture." What is clear is that this is fodder for comedians everywhere.

Justin Bieber, fresh from his 17th birthday, is back in the news once again, this time for a curious incident where he is accused of kicking one of his dancers!

Was this fit of violent Mel Gibson-style anger from Justin, or was it all planned?

Justin continues to sell out arenas around the country, and is also raking in the dough from his hit film in 3d, Never Say Never. For more on the kicknig incident, including visuals from the event, see below.

We hope Justin Bieber's backup dancers have good insurance! Justin, 17, quite literally kicked off the first date of his My World UK Tour in Birmingham, England on March 4 with a scripted kick against a trained stunt dancer. Normally we wouldn't think anything of the acrobatic feat, but Justin has taken heat twice this week for flipping the bird at paparazzi and attacking a cameraman. Is pressure of the media turning our beloved Biebs into a big bully?

In what some would say is the pot calling the kettle inexperienced, Sarah Palin has come out once again blasting the Obama administration, this time for being too "inexperienced" to handle the current crisis in Wisconsin.

Said Palin ""See because our president is so inexperienced in the private sector and in government and in actually running anything and making any kind of budget that inexperience has really made manifest in some of the statements he makes."

Palin: Inexperienced Government

Sarah Palin said President Barack Obama lacks experience in the public and private sectors in discussing his role in ongoing debate over unions, collective bargaining and the recent protests in Wisconsin. Palin went on to take issue with the president's handling of the economy and said he should be "engaging in free-market principles that work" such as reducing taxes. The Fox News contributor added, "His naive and destructive and terrifying anti-oil agenda is going to bring our nation to our knees and his agenda must be stopped."

Jon Cryer broke the silence about Charlie Sheen for the first time on Conan about what it's been like working with the turbulent TV star.

Sheen has long been known for living a wild life full of hard partying highs, and lows that often involve visits to the hospital or drug rehab clinics. Cryer said crazy stories were the norm when working on the set of Two and a Half Men. "There was a story that they found Charlie's car at the bottom of a cliff. So you're thinking, 'Wow, sure hope Charlie's okay,'" he said. "And he comes into work, and it's like, 'Hey Charlie, how's it going man?'" "crashed the car, and then clawed his way back up the cliff." In reality, Sheen told him he was "doing OK" except for the fact "someone stole my car, and ran it off a cliff last night."

Another thriller of a fight from Miguel Cotto last night, as he battle Mayorga to a stunning 12th round TKO, drvingi the subborn brawler to his knees before he finally conceded defeat.

As seen in the video below, a powerful punch sent Mayorga staggering back at the beginning of the final round, and he tried in vain to stay on his feet but one up kneeling as his legs gave way against his will. Then he tried to fight on but soon saw no choice but to quit, waving his arms as the ref jumped in to stop it. See the final moments below and read more details about the match.

He stood in the corner of the ring, pointed to the canvas just in front of him and yelled at Miguel Cotto to stand on that spot and trade punches. Cotto paused, waited his time, then moved in, unleashed a flurry, and slipped back out of range. Again, Mayorga erupted. Again, Cotto repeated his move. By the time the sequence was over, Mayorga had three times exhorted his foe to engage him; three times the Puerto Rican champion had answered the challenge on his own terms, had inflicted damage as desired, avoided return fire as required, and ultimately put another round in the bank...

But 50 Cent has treated the incident as a joke, saying "Wave will hit 8am, them crazy white boys gonna try to go surfing." and "I had to evacuate my h-es from L.A., Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol." on his twitter page.

He has since apologized and will join Katy Perry and many other stars in donating money to relief efforts.

50 Cent has offered an apology for some insensitive remarks he made about the tragedy in Japan. 50 Cent was even called out by some of his twitter followers for not taking it seriously. The rapper, actor, and businessman claims that he only posted the comments on twitter for shock value and whether we "hate it or love it," 50 Cent claims "I'm cool anyways." Although 50 Cent offered an apology for his remarks, most still found his tweets very distasteful and expressed a hope that he would donate some of that hip hop money to help those that were affected. As reported on HipHopRX.com, the death toll in following the Japan earthquake and tsunami has reached 14,000 and is steadily rising.

Bon Jovi is making waves with his fierce indictment of Apple mastermind Steve Jobs, saying Steve Jobs "killed the music industry."

The singer and now actor voiced his laments about Jobs' proliferation of iTunes and iPods, which so many people now use to simply download individual songs instead of albums: "Kids today have missed the whole experience of putting the headphones on, turning it up to 10, holding the jacket, closing their eyes and getting lost in an album; and the beauty of taking your allowance money and making a decision based on the jacket, not knowing what the record sounded like, and looking at a couple of still pictures and imagining it. God, it was a magical, magical time."

Russell Crowe is taking his acting to a shocking new level, as he potentially puts his health in danger with an incredible weight gain. The actor has gained an amazing 53 pounds preparing for an upcoming role.

Of course as a celebrity actor he is able to have a personal trainer and nutritionist and other health advice to make sure he does it in a healthy way, but it's still remarkable to see him take it that far. Even for Russell himself!

Said Crowe: "At one point I worried about it from a health point of view because I had my cholesterol checked. It had reached dangerous territory. I was surprised that my body was taking all of it so seriously. I was enjoying myself, because I was eating and drinking what I liked, but my body was objecting. The most frightening thing was having to rock back and forwards to get out of a car. Instead of stepping out, I had to tip myself out."

Tourists flying on Qantas airlines might get a pleasant surprise, with an airline safety video from the Hollywood star John Travolta. But some employees of the airline are reportedly offended by the video.

Some staff of the airline say it should be a true professional airline pilot who offers the advice, although Travolta is a longtime pilot on his own time. And they say it feels dfemeaning seeing Travolta refer to them as "the team" and such.

On the video Travolta tells all those who bought plane tickets "This is your captain speaking, well, maybe not today. But I can guarantee that the guys on the flight deck and the greater team care just as much about aircraft safety as I do. I've been flying over 40 years as a pilot and I can tell you, there's no one I'd rather have at the controls than a Qantas pilot."

A daring heist in in Switzerland, as thieves in one of their major cities stole a batch of extremely high priced diamonds, from one of the country's major watch and jewel fairs.

The show features dispays of some of the most glamorous and expensive jewelry in the world, and even though only four diamonds were taken, the Swiss thieves got away with loot worth millions of dollars, according to authorities and sources connected with the fair.

According to the prosecutors there, the plan was quite simple, and perhaps raises questions about whether everyone at the event had sufficient security measures. All they did, so it seems, is distract the employee minding the stall, while their partners went into the cabinet and took the jewels. Surely these jewelers ought to have more security measures than that, for such high priced jewelry?
