Charlie Sheen’s Goddesses Meet Two Ladies
Charlie Sheen got to introduce the world to his “goddesses” during his well-publicized ’20/20′ interview on Tuesday night.
He explains they are his reason for getting up. “My beautiful, perfect, lovely family that is pure magic. I keep looking around and go ‘wow,’ not only do I deserve this, but it’s on. According to court documents filed by the lawyer for Sheen’s estranged wife Brooke Mueller, Sheen has recently made several “specific, descriptive threats” against her, TMZ reports.
Mueller claims Sheen threatened to “cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom,” according to TMZ.
Sheen appeared on NBC’s “Today” on Wednesday and denied the allegations.
Sheen previously invited both NBC’s “Today” and ABC’s “Good Morning America” to take a look at the family of sorts he’s set up with his two much younger girlfriends – or “goddesses,” as he referred to them – at his Los Angeles mansion. Sheen said the two are helping raise his children.
“It works well for us,” added Kenly, referring to their communal living arrangement. “It’s unconventional and it seems crazy to everybody else, but for us it works well, and we all love and respect each other and respect each other’s boundaries.”

ESPN betting US soccer fans want more World Cup
NEW YORK — Knowledgeable U.S. soccer fans — it’s not an oxymoron.
ESPN is making a huge investment in World Cup coverage, paying $100 million for the rights to the 2010 and 2014 tournaments, based on the conviction that not only do Americans know the beautiful game, they want all they can get.
The 2006 tournament on ESPN and ABC drew the largest audiences for a World Cup outside the United States. But research afterward showed the network could do more to show fans it’s taking the sport seriously.
Now the network is trying to do just that, and to attract even more viewers, despite the time zone challenges of this year’s event in South Africa, which is six hours ahead of New York and nine hours ahead of Los Angeles.
“The simple math of ratings, if you can take that audience and get them to watch for a longer period of time, it has the same effect as growing the number of viewers,” said Jed Drake, executive producer for ESPN’s World Cup coverage. “We really have targeted our presentation now for a knowledgeable soccer audience.”
The same network that drew criticism for calling 20 matches from U.S. studios four years ago is putting together a staff of 300 people to produce the event in South Africa. ESPN has hired British announcers and plans 65 hours of live studio programming from Johannesburg.
“We have a production plan that we think is up to the level of ambition of this event with a great group of commentators that we’ve assembled, a broadcast operation that is far and away the biggest we’ve ever amassed outside of the U.S.,” Drake said.
The ESPN compound at the International Broadcast Center in Johannesburg is massive, dwarfing that of any other operation. A large bullpen is filled with editors and writers, with more than a dozen big-screen TVs on the walls. There are four editing suites and three control rooms, the largest of which has 10 high-definition screens that show everything ESPN is doing.
“You look at the footprint of this facility and we are, shall we say, quite large,” Drake said. “It’s just part of the commitment. You only do something at this level with the best equipment and the best people.”
ESPN also has an expansive set overlooking the Soccer City stadium, where “SportsCenter” will be broadcast live, and an open-air patio that can be the site for live reports for “Good Morning America” or one of ABC’s other shows. ESPN and ABC are owned by The Walt Disney Co.
Former national team captain John Harkes, who will work as a commentator on all of the U.S. team’s games, said Americans have learned to watch soccer differently in recent years, and that knowledge will influence how they follow this World Cup.

The world Must Recognise Pakistan’s Critical Anti-Terrorism Role And Understand The Complex War:Speaking at the international launch of a Pakistani TV drama, portraying the country’s ongoing anti-militant struggle at the cost of enormous human suffering, the ambassador said Pakistan has rendered more sacrifices than any other nation in the fight against terrorism. ‘Pakistan has lost more lives to terrorism in the last two years than any other country, more Pakistani soldiers have died in the battle against terrorism,’ Haqqani told Pakistani and American media representatives at the embassy, where director, playwright and cast introduced the play ‘Khuda Zameen Se Gaya Nahin’. ‘
Still there are people around the world who do not recognise Pakistan’s sacrifices and nor do they understand the complexity of this difficult war,’ the envoy added. Based on real happenings and written by Asghar Nadeem Syed, the drama serial depicts resilience and aspirations of the Pakistanis to move forward as a moderate people. The play, produced by Communication Research Strategies, will be beamed internationally in 16 episodes by PTV Globe.
The characters and situations in the production highlight psychological, emotional and social tensions in their struggle to defend their way of life. The play has been shot at 50 different locations and also shows lifelike scenes of Pakistani military actions against militants, produced with the help of Inter-Services Public Relations. In his remarks, Haqqani pointed out that the world owes it to the Pakistanis and Afghanis to help them tide over troubles that arose out of the West-supported Jihad against the Soviet Union in the 1980s, when one extreme ideology was pitched against another. ‘When the Soviet Union pulled out of Afghanistan, the United States left Pakistan and Afghanistan — the mujahideen (brought together from around the world) did not, and have morphed into the Taliban.’
The United States and Pakistan, he stated, are allies. ‘We do not always agree with one another but the fact remains that our goals in the region are similar.’ ‘Pakistan wants a stable Afghanistan and Pakistan wants to eliminate terrorism from the region. Pakistanis want to move forward as a progressive and democratic nation.’ Islamabad, he said, wants to resolve issues with its neighbours but argued that Pakistan would not be told by others whether its security concerns emanate from the eastern border or from terrorism on the western border. ‘We will define our security concerns ourselves.’
He said Pakistani soldiers, intelligence personnel, politicians and people are jointly fighting the menace of terrorism, which must be addressed with a multidimensional approach having economic, social and political components. The ambassador said the US and Pakistan should continue a process of overcoming trust deficit of the last three decades that began with Secretary of State Hillary Clintons three-day visit to Pakistan last month. He lauded the role of Pakistani artists, musicians, poets, writers and particularly the entire team of the production for reflecting in their work the nation’s struggle against extremism. Writer Asghar Nadeem Syed, Director Kashif Nisar, artistes Ayesha Khan and Noman Ejaz introduced some aspects and theme of the play to the audience comprising American South Asian affairs experts and journalists.

Mary Weiland,Mary Forsberg Weiland:Mary Weiland was the wife of Scott Weiland, frontman for the 1990s grunge band Stone Temple Pilots. I’ll never forget their song “Interstate Love Song” for many reasons I won’t mention here.
Mary Forsberg Weiland recently wrote about her time with Scott and the band in her memoir, “Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll, and Mental Illness.” Mary, a divorced former model, wrote the book with Larkin Warren, former Esquire editor.
Seems Scott and Mary lived up to the band name by getting stoned all the time. Both were strung out on heroin. Mary recalls a time they both shot up so much they had to wear long sleeved shirts to hide the needle marks when they attended a Fourth of July party thrown by Leonardo DiCaprio at his Malibu home.
I was reminded of a scene from the movie “Waiting to Exhale” when I read what Mary did in March, 2007. Seems she dragged Scott’s wardrobe into their driveway and set it on fire. She landed in a mental hospital with a diagnosis of bi-polar disorder for her actions. (I don’t remember that happening in the movie.)
Mary said about the torching experience, “The bonfire was huge and very pretty. Everything went up in smoke quickly, except the shoe leather; the Guccis took the longest. The news reports said I’d torched $10,000 worth of Scott’s clothes, which was wrong by a factor of eight. He was somewhat insulted at their estimate: ‘Eighty thousand dollars, Mary,’ he said later.
Mary was just 16 when she entered into a life of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll that included heroin and crack. Scott Weiland is credited with the breakup of the band because of his wild behavior.
Mary’s memoir hit the market on November 10 if you want to read more. It’s sad to think these guys were so stoned when they sang some of my favorite songs.

Brooke Hundley Interview:ABC got the scoop on a sit-down interview with Brooke Hundley, the former ESPN employee who was the central figure in the Steve Phillips affair scandal that had the New York tabloids buzzing for more than a week and nearly blew up the sports blogosphere. Well, at least Deadspin.
Phillips is still presumably in duck-and-cover mode, dealing with his announced sex addiction in a facility far away from any lights, cameras and HD makeup. But Hundley is finally speaking out to ABC, somewhat ironically part of the same company she worked for until recently being fired.
Hundley talked with Good Morning America’s Kate Snow:
I think people are so quick to make a judgment, it’s almost like ‘here’s a great story. Here’s a great chance for me to … destroy a person’ without any sense of really thinking about the fact that there’s a human being behind those words.
