More Bad News for Charlie Sheen

Things aren’t going so well for Charlie Sheen these days. The actor received a call from an OnStar-like service this morning, informing Sheen that his SUV had just crashed.

According to TMZ, the 'Two And A Half Men' star got the call around 4am, learning that his car had been involved in a wreck and the airbags had deployed. Sheen’s security team inspected his home and reported that his car had indeed been stolen. Cops found his SUV on its side at the bottom of a cliff near Mulholland Drive in L.A. The Fire department has not found any victims involved in the crash, and the cops are still searching for a suspect.

This accident comes just days after hearing news that the star will be charged with felony menacing and misdemeanor assault following the Christmas Day incident where he allegedly assaulted his wife Brooke Mueller. TMZ reports that Sheen will report in court on Monday for an arraignment, but is not expected to enter a plea just yet.

Ellen DeGeneres Speaks Out on Body Image and 'American Idol'

Ellen DeGeneres is sick and tired of the double standard when it comes to women and body image. The talk show host and “American Idol” judge discusses the issue with Katie Couric on CBS Evening News saying, "It's a double standard because there are men with really beautiful women that don't have great bodies, and yet nobody's saying anything about that. Women [think they] need to keep themselves up to look good for a man or for society. It's not fair."

In the interview with Couric, Ellen says airbrushing is one of the things that really bothers her the most. "Women are looking at bodies like that and going, 'My stomach doesn't look like that. I'm supposed to look like that?! So they starve themselves and they work out like crazy."

Beauty isn't about being stick-skinny, Ellen says it's about being healthy and happy. She adds: "It's not important. We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy. If you're healthy, it's got nothing to do with how much you weigh."

Ellen tells CBS Evening News that her relationship with wife Portia de Rossi is what keeps her healthy and happy.

It also sounds like Ellen is bringing the same attitude of acceptance and kindness to the “American Idol” set. She says she is finding it difficult to be critical of the contestants. "I'm getting good at delivering bad news, myself, but I'm trying to do it in a tender way. … I hate hurting people's feelings, so that, I think, is the hardest part. I think we have good people … I'm going to fight very, very hard to keep the people that I believe in, so that we have a wide variety … somebody for everybody, I hope."

The Sarah Silverman Program Returns With All New Episodes Tonight!

The third season of "The Sarah Silverman" program premieres on Comedy Central tonight at 10:30pm and just when viewers thought that Silverman couldn't push the envelope any further, she comes back blazing with fresh jokes, toilet humor, and that delicious brand of offensiveness that only Silverman can portray.

She is a character that I hate to admit liking, but she always wins me over in the end. Only Sarah Silverman can manage to turn singing about a detached baby penis into a cutesy ballad,while sporting some seventies style facial hair and not make us want to vomit. While her subject matter may be questionable at times, the show seems to know the exact right place to draw the line, and that is what will keep viewers tuning in for more, just waiting to see what's next, and believe me nothing is completely off limits.

PCM had the recent opportunity to participate in a conference call with Sarah Silverman to discuss the upcoming season and a plethora of other subjects, so stay tuned to PCM later today to check it out!

Tune into Comedy Central tonight for a great night of laughs with the season premiere of "Important Things with Demetri Martin" at 10pm and "The Sarah Silverman Program" at 10:30pm

Monopoly Gets A Makeover!

Hasbro is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, and in honor of the occasion they are coming out with a whole new Monopoly board game. The loved childhood classic is getting a makeover... 2010 style!

The company debuted the updated edition in New York City at this year's toy fair. The new version is coming out later this year, but they promise to keep the original game still on the shelf.

What makes the 2010 version so different than the original? Well, to start, the board will be circular as opposed to square. The pastel-colored paper cash will now be replaced with credit cards, and engraved plastic slabs will be used instead of the nostalgic metal pieces.

Although inventive, I have to say I do prefer a thimble or a top hat over a slab.

Lost is Found!

For those who want to get into the Lost craze, the premiere episode can now be watched on ABC's Web site. However, watching the re-cap episode first is definitely helpful!

The End of Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy members Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump have confirmed the rumors that Fall Out Boy is not currently together. "As far as I know Fall Out Boy is on break...I can't predict that I'd ever play in Fall Out Boy again," Wentz blogged on Tuesday.

Stump made a comment affirming this to Spin.com. "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now," he said. Stump's statement just refers to the state of the band right now, but Wentz sees the breakup as a more permanent thing. "A hiatus is forever until you get lonely or old, [and] I don't plan on either," Wentz tweeted. He also tweeted that in order for him to continue with Fall Out Boy "Something would have to change in my head or my heart--not my wallet. It'd have to be real."

The band member do still have fond memories together and a group reunion or a new incarnation of the group is not out of the question. "One way or another, the band will always be around," Stump said. Wentz added on his blog, "There is a possibility that FOB will play again with or without me."
