The Two and a Half Men star – who took ex-wife Denise Richards to court in a failed attempt to prevent her from including their two daughters in a reality show – is now urging viewers to tune out the upcoming E! series.
"I think we should all just boycott the damn thing!" Sheen, 42, half-jokingly told PEOPLE Wednesday night at an Academy of TV event for his sitcom. "Issue a mass boycott."
In January, a judge gave the former Bond Girl, 37, permission to include the ex-couple's daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2, in the as-yet-untitled show (which is being produced by Ryan Seacrest's company to air this summer).
But the legal ruling did nothing to dampen Sheen's opposition to the project. "You don't go to court and make stands to prevent that if you don't firmly believe in it," he said.
Regarding the court's decision, the CBS star added, "The world is upside down sometimes."

The marriage of pop singer Pink and her husband of two years, motocross racer and former The Surreal Life star Carey Hart, has ended, the singer's publicist, Michele Schweitzer, tells PEOPLE.
"Pink and Carey Hart have separated. This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another," says Schweitzer, adding, "While the marriage is over, their friendship has never been stronger."
Pink, 28, and Hart, 32, met at the 2001 X Games and broke up for a time in 2003, but the split was well behind them in 2005, when the singer popped the question to her beau as he sped around the track during a competition in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.
They married in January 2006 at a non-denominational ceremony in Costa Rica. Among the 100 guests was Lisa Marie Presley.
In August 2007, amid reports that the marriage was on the rocks, Hart dismissed the stories as "just a bunch of trash talk."

Director Doug Liman had lined up rapper Eminem to star in new movie Jumper - but dropped him at the last minute in favour of Hayden Christensen.
The Lose Yourself hitmaker - whose acting debut came in 2002's 8 Mile - was first choice for the leading role in the science-fiction movie and was even in negotiations when Liman suddenly decided he preferred the Star Wars star.
Liman insists it would have been a very different film if he had given the part to the musician - but was determined to follow his instincts.
He tells MTV.com, "We did have a meeting. We did have conversations with Eminem. The thing is that you're like, 'Oh my God what would the movie have been like?'
"But you have to understand that Nicole Kidman was originally cast in Mr & Mrs Smith and Brad Pitt was originally the lead in Bourne Identity. (Those roles eventually went to Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon.)
"It was one of those things where the studio, with all things being equal, would rather put a bigger name in the movie (and wanted Eminem). At some point, I just put my foot down and said, 'I love Hayden'."

Jessica Alba: ''I Can't Wait For My Baby to be Brown''
In Latina's March 2008 cover story, Jessica Alba gets personal with Editor-in-Chief Mimi Valdés Ryan and directly responds to the rumors that have resulted in her now-commonly used nickname, "Jessica 'Don't Call Me Latina' Alba." Check out some of her revealing answers below, and don't forget to pick up the full story when the issue hits newsstands on February 19!
On her reluctance to walk the red carpet at Latin events: "I'll support those shows, but I can't go on the press lines and have people make me feel bad about myself. Life is too short. I can't change how I grew up, and I shouldn't have to apologize for it. I know I feel close to the Latin community, because that's what I grew up with."
On claims that she's proud to have cut loose from her Mexican roots: "I never said that. Cut loose from what? What the hell are they talking about? Why would I want to cut loose from the only family I know?"
On not learning to speak Spanish as a child: "I wish to God that my dad spoke Spanish to my brother and me, but he didn't grow up with it."
On confusing other men for her dad as a kid: "When I was little, I used to go up to black men and hold their legs, thinking it was my dad all the time. I'd wrap my arms around them, then look up and be like, 'Oh my God!'"
On being accepted for who she is in Hollywood: "I was always trying to figure out: How the hell am I going to be mainstream? How are people going to accept me? When are the going to get a clue that I am American, that this is what America looks like--people like me who are mixed, have different blood, mixed with different ethnicities? When are the people who are hiring for these jobs and writing these screenplays going to realize that?"
On what she wants her baby to look like: "I'm excited for my baby to be brown. I just have to believe the dark gene is going to survive. Cash and I are like, please!"

What can we expect from your upcoming world tour?
I’m so excited because with three records under my belt, I have a lot of singles that people are familiar with. This will be a much bigger production than anything I’ve ever done. The color for this album is pink, so I’ll be playing a pink piano, and there’s a pink drum kit and a bunch of dancers. It’s gonna rock.
In your last interview with Maxim, you were all about clubbing and doing Jäger shots. Is that still a typical night out?
I enjoy partying, sure. But I’m really enjoying wine now. I signed up to be on this wine list where they send you stuff that isn´t sold in stores. I´m a wino now. Last night we drank some Opus One.

On the most extravagant thing she's ever bought: "Probably my house. Is that an extravagance? I used to collect rare books. My prized book is a really beautiful unbound Shakespeare, which never made it to the publishers. I used to buy them to commemorate a job but I haven’t done it in a while. I have a penchant for Victorian jewelery now so I’m always on eBay. I’ve had to cool down because it got out of hand. I was setting my alarm for three in the morning to bid."
On whether or not she uses acting to get attention: "It’s a generalization but actors are either extroverts or introverts, it’s true. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about why I act because I think of myself as more of an introvert. I embarrass easily. I have such problems with people looking at me. So I think, ‘Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do something so public?’ But I never expected it to be this public. It does seem like a funny choice for somebody who doesn’t really like attention."
On Katie Holmes' wedding: "Everybody wants to know that. No, I didn’t go because I was working on The Tourist. To be honest, we’re not really in touch."
On being a workaholic: "Sometimes I wonder but I’m very happy at home just reading a book or pottering about. I love domestic life. I’m really my mother’s daughter. I like needlepoint, folding laundry and baking bread. I can be happy doing that stuff for a long time. But right now the work is so good and the opportunities are so remarkable - they’re what I’ve always hoped for - that it’s hard to pass up. You always wonder how long the good roles will keep coming."

Remember the huge Bush Administration scandal where the cover of a CIA Spy was blown in a Washington Post column? I’m sure you do. Her name was Valerie Plame. Turns out the topic was a hot story to be told for all the producer’s in Hollywood with money signs in their eyes. Especially those producers at Warner Brothers.
MTV reports Nicole Kidman has signed on to play the outed spy in a new film from director Doug Liman. Mr. Liman is responsible for the birth of everyone’s favorite amnesiac, globe-trotting Spy in The Bourne Identity. The film will follow the lives of Plame and her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson who were dragged into the heated WMD debacle after he wrote a critical article in the New York Times tying the countries entry into Iraq with the false fear of harboring WMD’s.
“I have a really, really insane take on how to tell it. It’s so outrageous,” says Liman. ”Ultimately, I’d be doing something no one has ever done before. Therefore it’s automatically appealing to me. I’m just starting to explore whether what I have in mind is even possible to do.”

A Heidi Montag music video is nothing if not a conversation starter. Remember the flurry of criticism surrounding the clip for her single “Higher?” (You know, the one that showed her chasing seagulls and writhing around in the surf in a pink bikini.) Well, the Hills star is planning another video, one that will “blow people’s minds very soon,” Montag’s former fiancé (and sometimes director) Spencer Pratt told PEOPLE at a pre-Valentine’s Day celebration for the video game “EA’s Burnout Paradise.” Promising that the video will be out “within the month,” Pratt says the new project will be more conceptual but still “very simple, [and] very entertaining, just like the last one.”
Montag told PEOPLE she’s been eagerly plugging away at her musical career, working in the studio “every night for about two months.” But don’t expect everything to sound like the synth-heavy “Higher.”
“It’s all different,” Montag explained. “There’s some edgier stuff, they’re some fun dance tracks — it’s everything. It’s definitely going to be different than what everyone suspects.”
Citing artists like Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera and, yes, the Beatles as influences, Montag explained her inspirations simply, saying, “I feel like all artists inspire music in one way or another.”
Apart from singing, Montag is hard at work on another project that could start a brand new conflict with her Hills rival and budding designer Lauren Conrad. And this catfight may play out on a catwalk. That’s right, Montag is also working on a clothing line called Heidi Wood by Anchor Blue, set for release in late February or March. “That’s my spring collection,” she said. “I’m very excited about it.”

Brooke Shields has banned her elderly mother from seeing her children after a bitter bust-up. Teri Shields, 74, claims the actress turned her back on her two years ago (06) after she accidentally left four-year-old grandson Rowan unsupervised while babysitting. She also accuses her son-in-law Chris Henchy of having a "svengali-like" influence over the star and turning her against Teri. Brooke's mum tells the National Enquirer, "I don't see Brooke or my granddaughters much. I wish I could see Brooke, but all she does is work. They were here over Christmas, dropped off some packages and then were gone. "I'm always disappointed in her, like the times she snaps: 'What do you ever do for me?' That's what her husband tells her to say. "I preferred Brooke's first husband Andre Agassi over Chris. Brooke goes along with whatever he says - that's the kind of influence he has over her."

She's just 16, but Jamie Lynn Spears already has a reputation for hard drinking in her hometown, Star reveals in its new issue.
And the pregnant teen has accepted she may never return to her glam life in Hollywood. Instead she and boyfriend Casey Aldridge have decided to keep the baby -- and even buy a double-wide trailer to start their lives together.
Star has also learned the Zoey 101 star has often cheated on Casey, the 18-year-old she has identified as the father of her child. "I know for a fact that Casey was not the first guy she slept with -- or the last," says one fellow teen in Kentwood, La. "There were at least two others. I know that 110 percent."
Another friend says that before her pregnancy Jamie Lynn partied hard but always in private. "Some people drink to have a good time. But she drank to get wrecked. She drank to get messed up and forget about her mother, her sister and all of that."
Just days before announcing her pregnancy in December, Jamie Lynn shocked a boy at a party by asking him for sex. "It's cool, I'm pregnant," she said. "I can't get pregnant again!"

Britney Spears reportedly 'married' Adnan Ghalib, her snap photog boyfriend, several weeks ago when they ran off to Mexico together - but was the so-called marrriage legal?
No! Britney Spears and her paparazzi boyfrend Adnan Ghalib may have tried to tie the knot - but even if they had - they're marriage is NOT legal!
So when and where did they supposedly get married? According to Splash, a source tells Star Magazine: “While in Mexico, they went through a quickie marriage ceremony. When Britney recently accused her mother of ’sleeping with my husband’, it wasn’t Kevin she was talking about - it was Adnan!”
I thought she said "boyfriend", not "husband"! Well, either way, the source also said: “When Britney got out of hospital that first time Adnan talked her into going to Mexico to get married, saying that he was the only one who could protect her. [Now] he is promising her that they’d get married again once his divorce is final.”
“In all my years, I’ve never seen as big a dirtbag as this guy. I can’t believe how he has taken advantage of this woman when she was in such a fragile state. She is delusional, and he has fed off that.”

“It's been three years since they split," one pal of Jen Aniston reveals to OK! about the actress' divorce from Brad Pitt. "But she's still so far from getting over him, it's tragic.”
And on Feb. 23, when Jen, Brad, and the woman he left her for, Angelina Jolie, will all take part in hosting a charity event at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the tension in the room will most certainly be palpable.
Sources tell OK! the former Friends star is now gearing up for the moment she'll have to say hello to Angelina, or as she chooses to put it, "that person who ruined my life."
Making the matter more stressful for Jen, who turned 39 on Feb. 11, is that she's being constantly bombarded with images of a glowing, pregnant Angelina. “Jen is desperate for kids,” says a source. “She can feel her biological clock ticking and must be scared that she’s left it too late. She keeps saying that she wishes she had kids with Brad and that, if she had, maybe things would be different.”

A few minutes later, she and Chris left together in her car." Jay and Rihanna have both denied rumors of a past fling, and he and Beyoncé did invite Rihanna to an intimate dinner they threw Thursday.

“I'm going on record as an artist who is able to critique [Amy Winehouse]. I think she has a great talent, but I don't agree with the Grammys giving her those nods. I think it sends the wrong message, that even in the midst of her stupor of drugs she can get nominated for all these awards. It's a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn't have a grasp of what she has. I've been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it. So I take great offence to almost see someone getting glory out of being in the position that they're in – she needs to get her life together and embrace her craft, she will lose it if she doesn't get it together.”

Rachel Bilson is pretty in purple in the March 2008 issue of Lucky Magazine.
She’s currently on a promo tour for her upcoming flick Jumper (in wide release on Valentine’s Day) with hottie Hayden Christensen and the adorable 26-year-old star is proving to be one of the most stylish ladies in Hollywood.
On her role in Jumper impacting her style: “I had to surrender control and let go of a lot of fears; it had a big impact on my life. I’ve noticed even with clothes, I’m more experimental and trying to take risks, but still feel like myself. I’m constantly evolving, figuring out what works in my wardrobe. My favorite thing about fashion is creative expression and keeping everything a little unexpected.”
On moving past her role as Summer on The O.C.: “I’m definitely grateful for my role as Summer, but I must admit that I’m looking forward to becoming more than Summer. I’m also super excited to finally play a character who is my real age.”
Rachel showed up for the New York photo shoot wearing an adorably cool outfit of vintage boots, a raglan-sleeved Heart (the band) tee, and chic high-waisted sailor pants with so many buttons that she asked if she could leave them half open during our interview. (“I love these so much, but they’re such a pain to get in and out of,” she explained.)

• As a teen, the singer’s mother, Lynne, allowed her to get breast implants. But after going under the knife, “she regretted the implants, particularly because her chest was still growing,” a friend says. “When her natural breasts became larger, she had the implants removed.” But Spears kept the surgery a secret. Adds the friend, “When other girls did their boobs [they admitted it] and moved on, but Britney was brought up to lie about herself.”
• The singer never bonded with her father Jamie, mostly because of his heavy drinking. “It was upsetting for Britney Spears to be around her dad,” a pal tells Rolling Stone. “He came backstage one night, and he was wasted. She was devastated. Britney would tell friends that her father was emotionally abusive.”
• When Britney was just beginning her career in the 1990s, she was bribed to work around the clock. “If she didn’t want to come out of the trailer, the label would come to me saying, ‘Please talk to Britney, make sure she performs, and we’ll take you on a shopping spree,’” a close friend says. Adds her former driver: “We would wake Britney up at 6 a.m., and she’d work on a video for three or four days straight for 20 hours a day.”
• Throughout her career, she lobbied “ to appear sluttier,” the magazine claims, to appear more mature. (As a kid, her parents let her walk around the house naked, Rolling Stone reports.) “Every girl in America was wearing crop tops and booty shorts, and Britney felt like she was being held back,” says a friend. “She would joke about wanting to do videos topless.”
• Darrin Henson, who was the choreographer for several videos from Britney’s first album, says: “Britney would come offstage after performing in front of 15 to 16,000 people and start crying because she thought she was terrible. The girl doesn’t know who she is.”
• She reportedly began sleeping with Wade Robson around the time of the 2001 VMAs. “In February 2002, Timberlake discovered a ... note from Robson in Britney’s room. Britney and Timberlake were performing on Saturday Night Live that night, and they sat backstage miserable — he refused to accept her apologies,” an insider says. “The breakup was a terrible shock, particularly as it was followed by Britney’s parents divorce two months later.”
• Britney’s 2002 split from Justin Timberlake devastated her. “Justin had his head screwed on so straight... He became the great force in her life, but it started a pattern — she began to look for guys to help her get away from the people who could control her,” an insider says.
• Britney’s original concept for her 2004 video “Everytime”: “To die in an overflowing bathtub with pills and booze strewn around, and get reincarnated as a baby,” a source says. But Spears’ label objected, and she refused to shoot initally. “Finally, Britney agreed to do it, but first she said, ‘I need three Red Bulls, and call my doctor,’” the insider says. The video, which co-starred bad boy actor Stephen Dorff, ended up featuring her running away from the paparazzi before drowning in a bathtub.
• During a January 13 shopping trip to Betsey Johnson in Sherman Oaks, California, with paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib, Britney threw a temper tantrum after her credit card was denied. She screamed, “F—k those b---ches! These idiots can’t do anything right!” in a “base animalistic shriek only heard at family member’s deathbed,” an insider says. She then threw “a big bottle of soda on the floor…on piles of discarded merchandise,” before changing into a new shirt, throwing her old one on the floor, and storming out.
• During the same Betsy Johnson spree, a fan asked for a picture for her little sister. Britney turned to Ghalib and screamed, “‘I don’t want her talking to me! Then she whips around and stares the girl deep in the eyes, her lips almost vibrating with anger. ‘I don’t know who you think I am, b-tch … but I’m not that person.’”
• Sam Lutfi — who was recently slapped with a restraining order — tells the magazine he may pen a book based on his troubled days with the singer. “You know, this is so much more than a magazine article — we’ve been doing dictation, she’s been telling me her story, and I’ve been writing it all down. It would make a great book!” Lutfi says.

"What Justin Timberlake/ Britney Spears story is too vulgar even to make it as a Gatecrasher blind item? asks gossip Ben Widdicombe in today's New York Daily News. The nugget, in this week's edition of Rolling Stone, is as foul as advertised: In a 2003 interview with W, Spears finally admitted that she and the former N'Sync star slept together—but only after waiting two years. Not quite. A year into the relationship, says Spears' choreographer Darrin Henson, Timberlake came back to the tour bus after a romp with Spears with a curious request: "Dude, smell my fingers," Henson claims Timberlake asked him. "Just slept with her that night."

The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor's death was caused by "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."
The NYPD found five medications in Ledger's apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found. Doxylamine is an antihistamine used in the short-term treatment of insomnia.

Nicole Kidman famously won her Oscar "by a nose" - but don't expect Mariah Carey to let a fake schnoz come between her and her public.
