As you may recall, Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen was arrested in Aspen, CO on Xmas day last December on charges that he assaulted his wife Brooke Mueller. Today we learn that Sheen has agreed to a plea bargain where he will plead guilty to a misdemeanor offense on June 7 and will immediately begin serving a 30 day jail sentence … which will, very likely, be a much shorter sentence for “good behavior” while incarcerated. No matter how long Sheen actually serves behind bars, he will be out in plenty of time to start production on the next season of his hit CBS TV show. Like it or not, Charlie is going to jail, y’all:

“Charlie intends to go to court on June 7 [to] plead to a misdemeanor and immediately begin serving his 30 days in jail,” says the source. “With good behavior, he could end up doing 15 or so days.” While Sheen, 44, had been charged with felony menacing, misdemeanor third-degree assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief following a Christmas Day fight with his wife, Brooke Mueller, 32, in Aspen, Colo., the source adds that Sheen would not be placed on probation once he completes his jail sentence … Earlier this month, Sheen agreed to return to his CBS hit Two and a Half Men for two more years. The plea deal would allow Sheen to serve out his jail sentence with time to spare before the new season starts shooting at the beginning of August.

Um … well, I’m shocked! I honestly never thought that Sheen‘s arrest for assault would result in actual jailtime. I mean, it’s very rare that celebs get locked up at all … to be honest, I thought this messy and embarrassing Xmas day arrest would just get swept under the rug. If Sheen is willing to go to jail, it sure sounds like he must be guilty of at least some of the assault allegations against him. There is NO way homeboy will do a full 30 days in jail … to be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got sprung in under a week. Nonetheless, jail is jail … and whether it’s for a short stretch or an even shorter stretch, that’s where Charlie is going.

Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears, who bared his hawt bod on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Têtu magazine last month, is once again showin’ off his hawtness on the cover of the new issue of Attitude magazine this month. Unfortch, the Attitude website does not feature any photos from his photoshoot nor does it feature his coverstory interivew … thankfully, Spinner posted a new article that explains how Jake managed to save the new Scissor Sisters album from ruination … on the advice of Pet Shop Boys frontman Neil Tennant:

“We were excited about new directions and new things and we took the music to one of our friends that we have entrusted our music to in the past and it was sort of met with a resounding, ‘Weh, it’s all right,’” Sisters matriarch Ana Matronic tells Spinner. “When you get a tepid reaction like that, it definitely makes you examine what you’ve been doing and scratch your head a little bit.” Shears didn’t have a lot of time for scratching his head. He’d already been pulling double duty, working on the SS album and a musical version of Armistead Maupin’s ‘Tales of the City.’ The answer was to find himself, again, by getting out of town … While Shears was cutting loose in Germany, he found what he needed to reignite his creativity after a conversation with sometime Berlin resident Neil Tennant. The Pet Shop Boys singer suggested Shears call up the band’s old pal — and Madonna producer — Stuart Price. “Neil said, ‘Why don’t you just call Stuart and see what’s going on?’ At that point, I think Jake was just looking for a really good friend and a good sounding board to bounce off ideas,” Matronic says … “[Jake] was so excited and Stuart was so excited. Stuart said to Jake, ‘I would drop everything to make a record with you guys.’ So that next weekend, Stuart and Babydaddy were out in Berlin and then a week or two after that, I went to London to work in the studio with them,” she explains of the writing sessions that resulted in their real third album, ‘Night Works,’ which is due June 29. “It was all just this great creative explosion, all caused by Neil Tennant.” The new version of the album, a glittering, 80′s-influenced dance-floor pop explosion sat more than well with the friends they played the first version to. “People jumped up and down and clapped like little kids,” Matronic says, laughing. “[It] was really exciting.”

I’m of the mind that Stuart Price is a genius producer. He worked his magic for Madonna (Confessions on the Dancefloor is Maddy‘s best album of the past 10 years) and also worked his magic on Kylie Minogue‘s upcoming new album Aphrodite, due out in stores next month (incidentally, Kylie hooked up with Stuart on the advice of Jake Shears after they hooked up for the new Scissor Sisters album Night Work). I am a huge fan of Stuart‘s sound and I cannot wait to hear the new SS album as well as Kylie‘s album. I’m also looking forward to seeing the rest of the photos from Jake‘s Attitude magazine photospread … I can’t help but wonder if he wears these leather pants in all of the photos ;)

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife of 40 years Tipper Gore have announced via email to friends that they have decided to end their marriage. The email made its way to the political blog Politico, which is how news of the split was made public. Sad but ture, Al and Tipper are dunzo, y’all!

Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday. In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said:

“We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

The e-mail was obtained by POLITICO and confirmed by Kalee Kreider of the office of Al and Tipper Gore. Kreider said there would be no further comment … The Gores, who have four children and live in Tennessee, marked their 40th wedding anniversary two weeks ago. The Gores both grew up in the Washington area. They met at a high-school graduation dance and were married at the National Cathedral on May 19, 1970, according to Tipper Gore’s White House biography.

Aww … this is really sad news, I think. 40 years of marriage is a pretty impressive accomplishment … that the couple would decide to separate so soon after their 40th anniversary is just … sad. We may never know the reason for the split (tho, if something of an infidelitous sort occurred we are likely to catch wind of it soon enough) but it’s just a damn shame that 40 years together had to end in an email announcement to friends.

GQ magazine has compiled a list of the 50 Coolest Men under the age of 38 and have decided that Prince Harry of Wales is the coolest of the bunch. To be honest, I’m not all that impressed with the Top 10 picks selected for this list but anything list that puts Harry on top is a list that I wholeheartedly agree with:

Prince Harry has been crowned king of cool in a list compiled by GQ magazine. The sandy-haired royal beat the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Horrors singer Faris Badwan and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson to take the title. The magazine took 37 and a half to be the cut-off age in considering the coolest men. It took into account an ‘enviable sense of savoir faire, a talent for transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, or just a really edgy haircut’ to qualify, it said. Harry, 25, who is described as ‘soldier, ambassador, polo player, playboy’, turned his image around after a few youthful gaffes with his stint in Afghanistan, according to GQ. His big brother, Prince William, failed to make the rundown of young movers and shakers. Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders makes the top 10. ‘Wry, self-deprecating and often soul-searchingly existential, the drummer is indie music’s online answer to Jerry Seinfeld,’ the magazine said. Despite his personal troubles and fall from grace last year, golf pro Tiger Woods was also placed in the top 40. Youngest on the list is Albert Cocker – son of former Pulp star Jarvis – who is just seven. The magazine predicts he is ‘heading for big things with the in-crowd’. The list appears in the July issue of GQ, on sale from Thursday.

LOL! Despite the silliness of trying to compile an accurate list of who is “cool” (especially considering the ridiculous parameters that went into the decision-making process) I think the magazine is right to put Prince Harry on top. That being said, the fact that Tiger Woods is listed as one of the “coolest” men is complete bullshizz. Even if you give him “cool” cred for the rampant cheating he did on his wife with those countless bimbos (which I absolutely DO NOT GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR), he surely should lose all of his “cool” points for the mere fact that the idiot got caught. Total fail. Here is the GQ list of the Top 10 Coolest Men Under 38:

01. Prince Harry
02. Robert Pattinson
03. Reggie Love
04. Dizzee Rascal
05. Jason Schwartzman
06. Usain Bolt
07. Ryan McGinley
08. Dustin Lance Black
09. Matt Helders
10. Wells Tower
11. Brian Burton (aka Danger Mouse)
12. Jack White
13. Jon Favreau
14. Roger Federer
15. Andre Saraiva

Interesting list, no? What do you think? Did GQ get this list right? Is there anyone who you think deserves to be listed in this Top 10?

This past Memorial Day weekend saw a lot of celebs engaging in a host of relaxing and fun activities which signaled the unofficial start of the Summer season … activities like luxurious road trips, leisurely games of horse shoes and visits to the beach or the pool. Zuma Nesta Rock, the youngest child of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, enjoyed some of his weekend at the pool with a little help from his daddy … behold:

Awww … what a cutie. He looks so much like his mom, it’s really adorable. I can’t even believe that baby Zuma has already grown into such a big kid already. Gwen and Gavin like to take their kids outside to enjoy the outdoors in Summertime so this is surely the first of many photos of the Stefani-Rossdale kiddies that we’ll be seeing as the warm months progress.

After going to great lengths to keep her new court-ordered SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet hidden from view by wearing baggy bell bottom jeans, beige suede knee-high boots AND tan leather knee-high boots (which she wore to the beach), Lindsay Lohan is finally ready to show off the new accessory she is legally obliged to wear. Lindsay posed for photographer friend Tyler Shields in a series of photos in her home where she appears to be casually showing off her SCRAM bracelet; photos that have been sold to photo agencies allegedly so the proceeds from their sale can be donated to an “undisclosed alcohol education program”. Here is one of the photos that has been made available of L. Lo and her new SCRAM bracelet:

Lindsay Lohan seems to be looking a little more comfortable with her alcohol monitoring bracelet as she poses for top celebrity photographer Tyler Shields. The troubled Mean Girls actress reclines on a white sofa in rolled up jeans which clearly show the court imposed SCRAM ankle tag. She is pictured writing in an A4 notepad with her laptop by her side showing the Top Shop website. A table in front is crammed full of empty cans of soft drinks including her favourite new tipple, energy drink Red Bull. A Parliament cigarette butt has been stubbed out in a can of Pepsi showing she is keeping some of her vices. The shots taken on Friday will appear in Shields’ new book ‘The Dirty Side of Glamour.’ LiLo said she agreed to the photo shoot in a bid to halt the frenzy surrounding the tag. In a statement the actress, said:‘To alleviate the chase to get the first shot of the scram bracelet, it was a good decision to supply one to the public.’ Proceeds from the sale of the photos are being donated to an undisclosed alcohol education charity. Shields tells People magazine, said: ‘Lindsay is amazing to work with, we have done it a few times and each time it gets better!’

While I find this notion that proceeds from the sale of these photos will be donated to an “undisclosed alcohol education program”, I think it’s a good move on Lindsay‘s part IF this donation will actually be made. I knew she wouldn’t keep the bracelet hidden from view for long … the last time she was court-ordered to wear a SCRAM bracelet back in 2007, she happily showed it off at every chance possible (remember THESE photos and THIS photo?). You can check out two other photos of Lindsay modeling her SCRAM bracelet HERE and HERE. I wonder how long until we see this new accessory out in the wild when L. Lo finally decides to wear a dress, a skirt or shorts?

Last week we got to see a short preview clip of Kylie Minogue‘s new music video All The Lovers, taken from her upcoming new album Aphrodite due out in July. On Sunday we got to see photos and a low quality video of Kylie performing the song for the first time at the 2010 Wind Music Awards in Verona, Italy. Today … we get to see the video in full:

The video world premiered at 12:00 AM in the UK and isn’t due to premiere here in the US until sometime later today … but because the Internet is the Internet, we are able to see the video in full just the lucky folks in the rest of the world without having to wait. The clip is really very inventive and fits the song very well. I love it. Check it out in full, after the jump …
