Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen is to stand trial over a Christmas Day bust-up with his wife, according to reports.

The Two And A Half Men star reportedly entered a not guilty plea to menacing, third degree assault and criminal mischief during a court appearance today.

A three-day trial is scheduled to begin this year on 21 July.

Sheen, 44, arrived at court in Aspen, Colorado, flanked by his legal team and publicist and flashing peace signs to a crowd of reporters and photographers, according to reports.

He has been charged with domestic abuse following a row with wife Brooke Mueller on Christmas Day.

Mueller told the emergency services that he had threatened her and held a knife to her throat.

According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Sheen is considering taking a plea deal – but only if the charge level is dropped to a misdemeanor rather than a felony.

Prosecutors, however, allegedly want him to plead guilty to the felony charge or stand trial. They are not believed to be seeking jail time for the actor.

In 1997, Sheen pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in a domestic violence case involving his then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland.

Avatar actor Sam Worthington said it wasn’t hard working with actress Zoe Saldana every day on the flick.

Worthington, 33, played the lead role of Jake Sully in the flick, while Zaldana, 31, played his love interest Neytiri.

Asked about having to kiss Saldana, he said: “Now, that was hard, because she’s so ugly!”

He added: “But when you’re working with someone like Zoe, it’s really not that hard, man. I’d kiss her every day.”

Some of Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler’s photos for a new W magazine shoot were reportedly considered ‘too explicit’ to publish.

The actress, who recently jetted in to the UK for the London premiere of new movie The Bounty Hunter, stars on the cover of US magazine W with her movie co-star Butler.

However, a source told UK newspaper the Daily Mirror: “Jen and Gerard really enjoyed the shoot. They got very stuck in, and were keen to experiment with a variety of different poses and props.

“In fact, a few of the scenes and outfits were so daring, they decided they were too explicit for a family magazine and they were cut from the final edition.”

George Clooney took time out from the red carpet to meet fans who couldn’t get into the show.

The Up In The Air star got out of his limo outside Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre but avoided going straight into the Oscar ceremony.

Instead, the star spent more than 30 minutes walking along the street and pushing his fingers through an 2.5m-high chain-link fence.

He signed autographs for a few lucky fans who managed to get their pens over to the star as others went wild at the sight of him.

Channing Tatum’s wife Jenna Dewan has revealed that she is trying to be “more domesticated” since getting married last year.

Dewan, 29, tied the knot with the GI Joe star last July, and admitted that keeping house does not come naturally to her.

She said: “I’ve been trying really hard to be more domesticated. It’s not in my nature to clean and cook, and so I’ve been really good about it.

“And we just actually had professional organisers that came to our house and did a whole bunch of organising, which was the best thing that I could’ve done for the New Year, ever!”

She added: “And I’ve been learning to cook, so I’m very excited about that!”

Reports that Abbie Cornish dumped actor Ryan Phillippe were turned on their head by Phillippe.

The former husband of Reese Witherspoon, who had been living with the Australian star of Bright Star in Los Angeles, had his reps saying he ended it – not she.

The he-said, she-said emerged in reports in Australia today. Phillippe’s publicist was reported by the AAP claiming the actor ended the relationship weeks ago. “Ryan ended the relationship with Abbie while she was in Australia, which was before New York Fashion Week, and asked her to move out of his house, which she did this weekend,” Phillippe’s representative said.

The actor’s appearance at Fashion Week was noted by observers and raised eyebrows. The spokesperson said: “She was out of town working for seven months and they grew apart.”

Earlier reports had the actor’s philandering ways blamed for the split. “Abbie ended it and moved out,” the Daily Telegraph reports Cornish’s rep underlining. The pair had been together for four years.

Jennifer Aniston has reportedly been stood up for the Oscars by heart-throb Gerard Butler.

Butler, 40, according to Now magazine, tired of the pair’s “fauxmance”. Aniston faces a lonely walk on the red carpet next month as the celebrity A-list converges on Tinsel Town.

Now also reports Butler upset Aniston by stepping out with other women soon after returning from her all-expenses paid B-day jaunt to Mexico. Butler, the Scottish star of The Bounty Hunter, joined Aniston’s group of friends for her Latin 41st in Cabo San Lucas but soon washed up with other female companions in Rio de Janeiro at the Mardi Gras Carnival.

An insider said: “He couldn’t care less and he’s embarrassed at all the attention they got in Mexico. He’s having second thoughts about going along with the ‘fauxmance’ for publicity. He feels it’s got too contrived and he’s being pushed into it just because they need to promote their new film The Bounty next month. He’s enjoying playing the field and hooking up with other women and told friends ‘I won’t be her gimp’.”

The source continued: “He’s sick of her endless photo ops, so he’s said no to being her date for the Oscars. Now Jen’s scrambling to find someone to go with her and is pressuring her people to line up someone ‘hot and exciting’.”

Ricky Gervais left a US talkshow host speechless – when he asked him to suck his c***.

Political satirist Jon Stewart was forced to leap out of his chair in fits of laughter following the British comedian’s crude joke.

As Stewart, 47, then leaned on his desk with his head in his hands, the Office creator merely sat in his seat and chuckled.

Gervais, 48, cracked his gag during an appearance on The Daily Show, which airs after the watershed in the United States.

“If we were in prison… if you had to choose, if we had to flip a coin, would you rather be mummy or daddy?” he asked the baffled host out of the blue.

“In modern times, mummy still has to work and do the duties. I think daddy because there’s moments I could say ‘I need to be by myself’,” Stewart replied.

Gesturing towards his crotch, Gervais quickly quipped: “Ok, then come over here and suck mummy’s c***.”

Oo la la. The mystery Frenchman glimpsed at the end of Brothers & Sisters’s last episode was none other than Gilles Marini, who returns to the dall, dark and handsome role of Luc Laurent.

Sarah, Rachel Griffith’s character, is seen in a rustic setting somewhere in France, while a major drama or two is unfolding back at the family fort in California.

Calista Flockhart’s character has cancer, and long-lost siblings are tipping off strangers to company secrets, while the gay couple in the show are desperately wondering whether to adopt.

Enter Marini, who told TV Guide.com: “We meet again! And it’s like everything she tried to fight before is staring at her right in the face. Even though she’s with Roy [Jay Karnes], she falls [for Luc] again because she’s still madly, madly in love with him.”

Laurent, a painter, had earlier left for France after he and Sarah fought about his carefree lifestyle and lack of direction. He now has a job.

Marini said: “He’s working. He’s showing her that he’s serious and is here to win her back because Luc believes with all his heart that they’re meant for each other. The story between Sarah and Luc is very simple: It’s an old-fashioned love story. There’s nothing under it except pure love for each other. That’s what I like, and I think that’s why audiences like it. It’s very clear and our hearts are very pure for each other. Lately on TV, I’ve been seeing a lot of unfortunate love stories, so I like that we’re portraying something pure and beautiful.”

With celebrity ambassadors such as George Clooney, Americans are the best-looking people in the world, according to a survey of more than 5000 globe-trotting Brits.

Brazil hopped into second place in the poll, while Spain – homeland to Penelope Cruz – ranked third and Australia, launchpad of Hugh Jackman, Miranda Kerr and Russell Crowe, was fourth.

”America has got a lot on offer and boasts some of the sexiest people on the planet,” said a spokeswoman for Onepoll.com. “The likes of Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt all help America’s image as a hotbed of good-looking people. But with a population of more than 300 million, they do have an unfair advantage.

”England’s talent only got them into seventh place and despite Gerard Butler waving the flag for Scotland, they only just beat the Germans. But in fairness, when you think of good-looking countries, Sweden, Italy, France and Brazil talent all spring to mind before us lazy, pale Brits. If you’re looking for some fun in the sun, you now know where to head on holiday.”

Renée Zellweger has shown off the body that snared boyfriend Bradley Cooper in a sexy new photo-shoot.

The Bridget Jones star has posed for the front cover of a Californian style magazine draped in a crimson red dress.

Inside, she strips off to black stockings and even prances for the camera wearing nothing but a black bodice and matching high-heels.

But while the 40-year-old actress has dared to bare for the revealing photos, she is keeping mum about her romance with the 35-year-old Hangover actor.

She said: “You know what? If Michelle Obama gets pregnant, I will care. A lot. I’ll want her to talk about it, and I’ll want to read about it.

“But, gosh – I am way less important.”

Despite her continued silence about her love life, the Texan-born star was very open about her recent move from Los Angeles to New York.

She said: “I felt like I was driving to my life [in LA]. I would drive to the hike instead of walking outside and just getting it done.

“In New York, I feel like I’m constantly involved in living my own life as opposed to just getting to it.”

Rumoured couple Alexander Skarsgard and Kate Bosworth reportedly stayed away from each other during an after-party for the Golden Globes.

Skarsgard, 33, left the party with Straw Dogs co-star Bosworth, 27, but a source claims the pair hardly spent any time together during the bash.

A source inside the party said: “They didn’t interact at all.

“They arrived around the same time, and after he went inside the party, Kate was pretty quick to follow.

“Kate was hanging with a few girlfriends outside in the smoking patio for a while, and Alexander held court at the centre bar with a different blonde.”

Reality star Brody Jenner said he wouldn’t rule out dating a British girl as the women are ‘absolutely gorgeous’.

The 26-year-old was most recently dating former Playmate Jayde Nicole, but they split in December after 15 months.

Talking about English girls, he said: “The last time I was in the UK, I was 12 years old and I didn’t really get to appreciate females.

“I’m telling you right now, you have a great thing going on over here. The girls are absolutely gorgeous.

“There are a lot of beautiful girls in LA, but you girls are right there, if not way better.”

Courteney Cox draws up a schedule for sex, her husband sensationally revealed on US TV.

The couple, who have been married for 10 years, have time to make love only once a week, actor David Arquette confessed.

“When you get married, you just don’t have sex as much as some people running around,” he said. “You’ve got to start scheduling it. We schedule it. It’s, like, once a week. If it doesn’t happen, Daddy gets upset. Daddy gets frustrated.”

Arquette, 38, lifted the lid on his bedroom habits with his wife on Jimmy Kimmel’s chat show.

Asked how he celebrated New Year’s Eve, the Scream star admitted he had been desperate to get Friends actress Cox, 45, between the sheets. “We’d missed the window by a good week.”

Arquette told Kimmel he had chosen to wear a t-shirt with the slogan ‘You cannot be serious’ – a gift from tennis legend John McEnroe – that day.

Keen to get things started, he told his wife she could go and work out while he got himself ready for their bedroom date.

“I go upstairs, I shower, I get all groomed – fragrances, powder, I shave things – I’m like Ryan Seacrest. I’m just ready, smelling good,” he laughed.

“I’m sitting there and I’m waiting, and now it’s like an hour and a half past her workout. I go downstairs and she’s in the gym talking to her friend. She looks at me and I’m like [points at top] ‘You cannot be serious’. I go back upstairs and another 40 minutes passes.

“I come back downstairs and I see her in the kitchen. I’m like ‘You cannot be serious’. Then I just sat down, depressed, on the stairs. She finally comes around the corner and says, ‘Come on’.” He added: “It was good. I lasted about 30 seconds – no I’m kidding.”

Courtney Cox has sex schedule, her husband reveals on TV

Matthew McConaughey is proud to have made a baby girl, according to his brother.

McConaughey, 40, and Camila Alves announced the weekend birth of Vida and are doing fine, said Rooster McConaughey.

“He called me on Sunday afternoon and said, ‘I made a little baby girl’. He’s all proud. He’s got it going on now,” Rooster said. Matthew and Alves have an 18-month-old son, Levi.

Rooster, the father of a son and a daughter, also reported telling Matthew to “quit copying me. You’re paralleling me. Hell, we’ve got so many McConaughey girls now, we’re all gonna have to learn volleyball and cheerleading.”

He humorously noted his brother did not follow in his choice of baby names. “I think I ruined it for him because I’ve already taken up that territory [alcohol-related names]. I named my [3½-year-old] boy Miller Lyte because that’s my favourite beer. And my [11-month-old] little girl is named Margarita Olympia. I liked that beer, too, even though they don’t even make it anymore.”

Cuba Gooding Jr, lauded for his star turn in Jerry Maguire, is being sought for a movie role to play fallen golf hero Tiger Woods, according to a UK report.

Gooding played the taciturn Rod Tidwell alongside Tom Cruise’s unforgettable Jerry in the movie about a footballer desperately seeking stardom. A Hollywood producer said: “It [the proposed film] makes a great movie because people love the drama of seeing someone really successful fall from the top and then scramble to pick up the pieces of their life.”

Woods’ life has become the stuff of high drama amid revelations and allegations of his multiple affairs while married to Elin Nordegren. She is believed to be looking toward divorce in the new year.

The golfer’s billion-dollar career appears to be in hiatus after he announced he was taking a break from the sport to sort out his personal life.

Charlie Sheen is expected to resume taping his hit sitcom Two and a Half Men next week, a friend of the actor has revealed.

The source also corroborates various reports now surfacing that claim family members suggested to Sheen – before the alleged Christmas Day incident with wife Brooke Mueller that landed him in jail – that he not join her in Aspen.

Sheen was “warned” not to go, says the friend, since the couple were having marital problems.

The source also mentions that Mueller was aware of how much ex-wife Denise Richards received in her divorce from Sheen, and people close to the actor believed Mueller may have been looking to exit the marriage.

Renee Zellweger was radiating joy and Christmas spirit in recent days as she hosted Bradley Cooper’s parents in Los Angeles.

Zellweger, whose romance with Cooper appeared to cool lately amid reports the pair were parting ways, was “very happy” as she showed Cooper’s parents Gloria and Charlie around the beachside suburb of Venice.

The foursome later gathered to spend Christmas together. Zellweger was spotted making an all-out effort with her prospective in-laws by taking Gloria to Bay Cities Italian Deli in Santa Monica on Christmas Eve.

A source said the Bridget Jones star invited Gloria to pick out her favourite treats: “Renee seems to get along really well with Bradley’s parents. Bradley’s mom is Italian-American and it was obvious that Renee was making an effort to impress her with Christmas dishes. Renee was in a great mood and seemed very happy.”

Roman Polanski’s latest movie, The Ghost, will premiere at the Berlin film festival in February 2010.

The fugitive film director is under house arrest in Switzerland pending the decision of Swiss authorities on whether to extradite him to the US, where he is wanted on 30-year-old charges.

California prosecutors last week called for Polanski to face court in the US to argue his case for having the charges of unlawful sex with a minor dropped.

Polanski, 76, took flight from the US in 1978 after admitting he had unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl at the house of actor Jack Nicholson, who was away at the time.

The Ghost stars Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan and tells the story of a ghost writer hired to complete the memoirs of a former British prime minister who uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.

The movie will have its world premiere along with Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese, at the highly regarded 60th annual Berlin festival from February 11 to 21.

Mario Lopez has revealed he turned down an offer to pose for Playgirl magazine.

The 36-year-old actor avoided following the same path as model Levi Johnston by posing for the magazine.

He said: “I was flattered that they asked, but I politely declined. I don’t think my mom would be too happy about that, and I have no interest to be honest.”

Despite recently denying reports that he is in a relationship with Courtney Mazza, he has now said: “Everything’s good. She has her own passions and interests, and I have my own passions and interests.

“I think that’s what keeps things healthy. We both like to exercise, dance and that sort of thing, but she’s her own person.”
