... Five sexy ladies and a briefcase full of cocaine? Must be Wednesday night at Charlie Sheen's house. The Two and a Half Men star was admitted to the hospital this morning after complaining of severe abdominal pains. Early reports allege the actor was hosting a party at his house with at least two female porn stars, three other ladies, and a briefcase full of cocaine. I repeat, a briefcase full of cocaine. I've done a fannypack full of blow before, and I can confirm that it will do funny things to your digestive system. Like hollow out all of your entire insides. Production of Two and a Half Men was already on hiatus this week, so this little escapade won't affect the show's production. [TMZ, TMZ, TMZ]
... ABC knows it can't actually pull of a Charlie's Angels remake without some seriously smokin' chicks in the lead roles, so the network did what it had to do. It hired Minka Kelly. Meow! Kelly played Lyla Garrity on Friday Night Lights and was named Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive last year, so I think she qualifies for the part. Also joining the cast is Rachael Taylor of Transformers fame, who will play the third Angel. Annie Ilonzeh (General Hospital) was the first Angel cast. [Deadline Hollywood]
... Hulu still isn't quite sure what to do with itself. Will it charge people to watch TV shows? Will it only show the most current five episodes of a TV show at any given time? Will it be totally free? Definitely not that last option. Instead, the online video service is considering reshaping itself into an online cable company where it would stream channels and on-demand content over the Web and totally screw you on your monthly bill like those wretched people at Comcast. Man, I hate Comcast. [Wall Street Journal]
... Tony Hale, who you likely know as Buster from Arrested Development, has joined the cast of Showtime's upcoming comedy Veep. Hale will play an aid to Julia Louis-Dreyfus's character, a former Senator who is elevated to vice president through unusual circumstances. [Deadline Hollywood]
... ABC has picked up the comedy Other People's Kids to pilot. The show is about a 32-year-old man who hitches onto an older woman with two kids from a previous marriage. This program is being considered for a new Friday TGIF family comedy block. [Deadline Hollywood]
... CBS has picked up a pilot for an untitled comedy about a group of assistants and junior execs. It's from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison productions. [Deadline Hollywood]
... Lifetime, purveyors of incredible made-for-TV shows, is crafting a telemovie about the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Mark your calendars. [Deadline Hollywood]

It's only new or news if he didn't do it on a regular basis. Isn't this behavior in his contract, . . he acts so.
Yes he should be committed he's not gonna go on his own. Anyway about time they put the show on hiatus, I know it's a big moneymaker but he really can't keep on working like this
he must be committed to rehab ASAP or he will OD soooon :(and not to be allowed to live on his will!!!
Stupid, Stupid Charlie. I don't care if he self-destructs but his kids rely on him, plus his fellow cast and crew members rely on Two And A Half Men. How can he do this to them? I don't care much about Hulu, but YES! The Angels Remake moves on!
Oh, Charlie Charlie... Just be ok. Love your show, love your roles, so get well soon!
Tragic. There is so much good he could do with all his money instead of self-destructing. I feel so bad for his children. Wish he'd get his act together and stop being such a pig.
I use to love Charlie Sheen I don't anymore his life is going down the drain. surprise two in a half men are still on.
Sheen is going to kill himself. Sad.
charlie is the man,
