Charlie Sheen to reportedly stand trial on domestic abuse charges

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

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.

Wino Back to Her Old Ways

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Amy Winehouse is under investigation for assault by the Thames Valley Police after punching and kicking a theater manager in the crotch while attempting to usher the singer to a box after the intermission. Before the attack, Wino was standing and blocking the view of others while heckling and hurling curses at the cast of ‘Cinderella’ for more than a half hour. Some of her comments included “Fuck Cinders, Prince Charming, marry me” and calling the Ugly Sister “bitches”. The crowd can thank Anthony Kavanagh for inviting Wino to sit in the audience because the Prince Charming stand in for the night wanted to impress everyone with his showbiz connections. That obviously backfired.

More Rihanna Pictures Leaked

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

More never before seen pictures of Rihanna have popped up on the internet. The latest ones aren’t as scandalous as the previous leaks though as these pictures see the Barbadian singer with her alleged attacker and ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. The pictures show Rihanna and the R&B singer snuggled up, one picture seemingly of them naked. Perhaps an after sex shot? Who is leaking all of these photos? I wonder if they will be used in court in some way. Rihanna has already been subpoenaed to testify as a witness for the prosecution in a preliminary hearing on felony charges against Chris Brown for the alleged assault on her. The hearing will be on June 22.

Chris Brown aged 19 has pleaded not guilty in a Los Angeles court to charges that are being pursued upon him for allegedly hitting his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna on the eve of the Grammy Awards nearly 2 months ago.

Monday was the date for hearing of the charges that prosecutors have levied against the R&B as part of the arraignment in Los Angeles Superior Court where he has been charged of assaulting Rihanna “by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury” additionally threatening a female to commit a crime “which would result in death and great bodily injury.” If the charges are proven then Chris Brown may have to face 4 years of imprisonment. Judge Patricia Schnegg set an April 29 status hearing for Brown.

Gee man this chap is either the luckiest man on earth or the American judicial system needs a real overhaul for allowing a man such Chris Brown to move about as freely as he is. What a coward, whatever, Chris Brown should not have plead guilty cause everyone knows he gave Rihanna the mad beat down. Instead he is hiding behind lawyers and money. COWARD
