Charlie Sheen Adds New Dates to Live Tour
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Drunk, Meltdowns, Rants, Rumors,
Ever seen a train wreck live? Here’s your chance: Charlie Sheen has added more dates and cities to his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” live comedy show. It began as a limited engagement in New York City, and now it’s expanded to include shows in Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Columbus and Wallingford (that’s in Connecticut).
Tickets go on sale Thursday. What’s the show like? We’re guessing it’ll be a lot like the actor’s Sheen’s Korner… hopefully, with better hair.

Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark Makes Changes
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,
When a comic book title starts to suffer a long decline of sales, the publisher tries to turn things around by bringing in a new creative team.
And apparently when a Broadway musical based on a comic book gets horrible reviews, repeatedly injures its cast, repeatedly delays its official opening night and looks to be a huge embarrassment, they also make some changes.
The producers of the troubled Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark musical have done just that. They’ve kicked the original director Julie Taymor to the curb and brought in a new director - Philip William McKinley - and at least one person who is actually familiar with Spider-Man: writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
They’ll be making some changes to the extravaganza and one of our Broadway spies was able to slip me an internal memo of the reworking that's going on prior to the show’s latest official opening date sometime in the summer of possibly this year.
Here then are the Top 10 Changes The New Creative Team Is Making To Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark:

VIDEO: SNL Honors March Madness
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Sports, Cable, CBS, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Video,
SNL opened with one of their funniest sketches of the year on Saturday. In a single skit, the show managed to pay homage to March Madness, Charlie Sheen and world current events. Our favorite part is Bill Hader -- watch the video above to see what we mean.
In related news, fans will have the opportunity to watch the real March Madness in a whole new way for this years NCAA men’s basketball tournament, which begins on Tuesday. CBS has purchased the broadcasting rights once again, but this year the network will actually show every single game. This year, games will be presented on CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV.

Gilbert Gottfried Fired for Tacky Japan Tweets
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Where Are They Now?,
Winning! Gilbert Gottfried is currently walking the Charlie Sheen path toward success -- he just got fired from his TV gig. No longer will Gottfried power the grating voice of the Aflac duck, and you’ve got Twitter to thank for it.
The comedian went one laugh over the line when he cracked a dozen jokes in a 24-hour period, all of them about the massive catastrophe that occurred in Japan, via Twitter. Some of his ill-timed, tasteless cracks include: “Japan is really advanced. They don’t go to the beach. The beach comes to them,” and “I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, ‘They’ll be another one floating by any minute now.’”
Aflac didn’t think any of it was very funny, apparently. In a statement, the company said, “Gilbert’s recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac.” They also promised not to rest on their laurels, adding “Aflac will immediately set plans in motion to conduct a nationwide casting call to find a new voice of the iconic Aflac Duck.”
Gilbert Gottfried could not be reached for comment about the situation. Stay up-to-date on all the celebrity gossip -- follow VIP Breakdown on Twitter.

VIDEO: Zach Galifianakis Shaves His Head
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Hair Styles, Videos,
I pity the fool who missed the end of last week's Saturday Night Live. Those who were watching NBC saw Zach Galifianakis standing on the famous stage with a Mr. T-inspired Mohawk. As he explained, the skit never made it to air -- the show ran out of time. But, at least he got an awesome new ‘do out of the sketch the didn’t.

VIDEO: Charlie Sheen Offers His Winning Recipes
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos,
See, Charlie Sheen is getting some work. In-between interviews and Web rants, the recently-fired actor managed to perform this skit for Funny or Die. Now, Sheen fans can learn a few of the ingredients it takes to be a winner just like him.
As he says, “If you eat like me, you can be like me.” Sheen certainly has an interesting take on what it means to be a winner, a philosophy that extends to his food. “I don’t cook food, I will it,” he explains in the video.
But, we caution you to take care if attempting to repeat any of Sheen’s cooking steps. As the actor points out, “The taste of Charlie Sheen has the potential to make your soul weep.”
It can get a TV show canceled, too.

Jon Cryer: Actually, He is a Troll
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rants, Rivalries, Videos,
Jon Cryer is addressing Charlie Sheen’s ranting and raving like a true gentleman: by making tons of hilarious jokes about it. After an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres show in which he appeared to be working as her receptionist (poking fun at the fact that he’s now out of work thanks to Sheen), Cryer continued to be funny with Conan O’Brien. Watch him slay it in the video above.
In a tongue-in-cheek response to Charlie Sheen’s unwarranted attack against him, Jon Cryer made a truly startling revelation: he is, in fact, a troll.
And in the terrestrial realm known as TBS, a troll may just have the power to defeat a warlock.
