Sheen insists CBS owes him an apology, will “lick his feet” and give him a raise to come back to finish the hit TV show that was cancelled before it was finished.

Celebrity Divorce

Tiger Woods Divorce

Divorce is a financial transaction just like dissolving a business. It is mostly a matter of money.

Lindsay Lohan – Is it time she does time?

Lindsay Lohan

Is there a case against Lindsay Lohan or does she have a defense to grand theft larceny? If she is arrested, this is an automatic violation of her probation. She will go back to the same judge who sentenced her– who is already on record saying that he will send her to jail if she violates her probation. She already avoided a jail sentence from this judge by going to rehab. Do you think there is a double standard when it comes to celebrity justice? Is it time for Lindsay to go to jail or is she an addict who needs help with her disease?
