Sheen slams CBS execs, says his crack use is 'social'
Charlie Sheen said in a confusing, jittery call to Dan Patrick's DirecTV show that his bosses at "Two and a Half Men" -- not his rehab -- are responsible for the show's continued hiatus. He also said he's able to handle crack "socially," adding, "but that kinda blew up in my face ... like an exploding crack pipe." Sheen's surprise call to "The Dan Patrick Show" -- in which he said he is "100 percent" sober -- suggested his erratic behavior hasn't ended with his Jan. 28 announcement that he was entering rehab."Two and a Half Men" went on hiatus with his rehab announcement. But Sheen, possibly joking, spoke as if it were a mystery to him why the show wasn't shooting again. He said he went back to work, but lost his voice banging on its stage door and yelling. "I don't know what happened," he said. "I guess they're closed." umm if you weren't socially and casually high you would have known they cut the shows eps this season by 8, duh.

Whoopi 'terribly hurt' by Oscar history snub
Whoopi Goldberg has slammed reporters at The New York Times for an article about the lack of black honorees in Academy Awards history. The story failed to mention the "Ghost" star's Oscar win. In a piece titled "Hollywood and the Year of the Whiteout," which was published Sunday, writers Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott claimed that in the past 73 years, only seven black actors have won Oscars. They referenced triumphs by the likes of Halle Berry, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx and acting legend Sidney Poitier, who made history in 1963 when he became the first black person to win a statuette for Best Actor. The article provoked controversy among film fans, because the figures touted by the leading Times journalists were wrong: 13 previous Oscar winners in the acting categories had been of black origin. Goldberg became one of the 13 when she claimed the Best Supporting Actress honor for her performance in "Ghost" in 1981. She ranted, "I am embarrassed to tell you, it hurt me terribly. When you win an Academy Award, that's part of what you've done, your legacy. I will always be 'Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg.' ... Not only am I an Academy Award winner, I have made over 50 films. I have been nominated twice -- once for 'The Color Purple,' once for 'Ghost' -- and I won for 'Ghost.' I am told that I am one of the 12 [artists in history] of what they call the EGOT [stars who own an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award]. It was 50 years between ['Gone With the Wind' star] Hattie McDaniel, the first black woman to win, and me. So this omission, I don't know what to say about what you've done. You're sloppy in your work; you're supposed to be better than this. This is the New York Times. i knew she was an egot before this so she is a rarity on a few accounts, but i agree they should have done better, but don't worry whoopi, i see an apology coming, lol
