Charlie Sheen Previews "Winning" with Snoop Dogg


Ready to unleash his collaborative effort with Snoop Dogg, Charlie Sheen is oozing with excitement over his new "Winning" video project.

The former "Two and a Half Men" star tweeted of the endeavor on Sunday (May 8), "2 days til the single "Winning" from me, snoop & charlie comes out on itunes! Donating proceeds to the tornado victims."

Having released a sneak peek of the soon-to-be-released material on Monday (May 9), Sheen also recently partook in a Q&A about his current doings and future outlook.

As for how he feels he did on his Torpedo of Truth Tour, Charlie told, "Overall as a grade on this as a team I think we went 17 [wins] and 4 [losses]. I know there's a couple in there that felt sorta phoned in but gave me the inspiration for the following night when it was all passion and lunacy. Um, yeah, I think 17 and 4 is fair what do you think, Rob?"

Then chatting about possible projects in the upcoming future, the 45-year-old said, "Well, yeah, and movies and things obviously but, I mean, there's no way to get a pilot up between now and then. Yeah, I got some ideas that don't have me dealing with a network...all of this perfection. It's hard to make a case for me right now to go rushing back to that whole system and that model because you know because I wasn't treated fairly."

President Barack & Michelle Obama's "60 Minutes" Dinner Date

Still in high spirits over news of Osama bin Laden's death, U.S. President Barack Obama took wife Michelle out on a dinner date over the Mother's Day holiday weekend.

On the eve of his "60 Minutes" post-Bin Laden debut interview, the Commander-In-Chief and his First Lady spent the evening at upscale Washington, D.C. Italian eatery Ristorante Tosca.

As for President Obama's sitdown with "60 Minutes," the U.S. leader went into much more detail than during previous speeches while outlining the successful mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.

The President said that the raid was “the longest 40 minutes of my life,” adding that he was "worried about the Navy SEALs going in in the darkness of night. And they don’t know what they’re going to find there. They don’t know if the building is rigged. They don’t know if… there are explosives that are triggered by a particular door opening… My number one concern was, if I send them in, can I get them out?"

With many other aspects of the operation available in the full interview below, Obama closed out his "60 Minutes" interview by saying, “As nervous as I was about this whole process, the one thing I didn’t lose sleep over was the possibility of taking Bin Laden out. Justice was done. And I think that anyone who would question that the perpetrator of mass murder on American soil didn’t deserve what he got needs to have their head examined.”

Having arrived in the Land Down Under the previous day, Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon got their Australian promotions underway in Sydney on Friday (May 6).

Joined by a giant elephant friend, the "Twilight" heartthrob and his "Legally Blonde" actress co-star cheerfully posed alongside one another at a "Water For Elephants" press conference held at Luna Park.

With Rob and Reese having made the trip to Australia after a multi-stop tour through Europe, Pattinson spoke about how he had to overcome his fear of the circus to take on the role.

"The first time I went to a circus, one of the clowns died," he said. "He had a joke car and it exploded."

The 24-year-old English actor added, "It was terrifying.... And that's the only time I've ever been to the circus."

Lindsay Lohan's Theft Case Sent to L.A. City Attorney


Yielding yet another turn in her legal battle, Lindsay Lohan's theft case will now be handed off from the county D.A.'s office to the L.A. City Attorney.

Just last month, Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that 25-year-old's offense - which stems from the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace - would be reduced from it's prior felony status.

As a result of that decision, the district attorney's office has said, "Because the charge was reduced by the court to a misdemeanor, the district attorney no longer has jurisdiction to prosecute the case and therefore, we will give the case to the Los Angeles city attorney's office."

Lohan, who has already been sentenced to 120 days in behind bars and 480 hours of community service for a probation violation, is expected to enter a no-contest plea in the case against her, which could mean no additional jail time for the actress.
