Like many mornings, Piers Morgan’s day in the news on Tuesday began with a spat. Today, the media plaintiff is Kirk Cameron—the same one who objected to homosexuality as “ultimately destructive to… civilization” on Morgan’s program a while ago. Cameron is blaming Morgan for his own comments, a sort of protest the host has little patience with. Noting that, as a Catholic himself, “it wasn’t a question of me berating him as a Christian because I am a Christian myself,” he concludes Cameron “dug his own grave” and his gripe is “ridiculous.”

Remember Charlie Sheen, the most overhyped celebrity cause of 2011? Well, during the peak of his “popularity” last year, Sheen sought out a social media intern to helm his Twitter account. Well, nothing lasts forever, not even tiger stamina, and Josh Burstein is leaving the Sheen machine for a much more prestigious job: working on President Obama‘s reelection campaign in Wisconsin.

Today is the South Carolina Republican primary, which means Neil Cavuto will be manning the ship at Fox News for most of the day. As usual when such events happen, Don Imus stops by to give his piece, which usually somehow becomes a conversation about how much Imus would rather not be talking to Cavuto. This was no different! Except for Imus’s take on Newt Gingrich, who he compared to early 2011 meme Charlie Sheen.

Occupy Wall Street was undeniably one of the biggest news stories of 2011. The movement was an important factor in “The Protestor” being named Time Magazine’s 2011 Person of the Year. Well, the Occupiers are finally getting recognized by another important institution. Yes, that’s right. The American Dialect Society has announced that “occupy” is 2011′s word of the year because of its influence on the global zeitgeist over the past few months.

As we enter the new year, the most important question on people’s mind is whether or not the world will officially end as we know it by next December. But let’s face it, if 2012 is really going to bring about end times (because we should clearly be basing our plans for the end on the Mayan calendar), it’s going to have a tough act to follow. Many people are writing up 2011 as the year of this or the year of that, but let’s keep things in perspective here: 2011 was the year that the world descended into random chaos.

For some reason, people are not flocking to Halloween stores this year to go as Barack Obama or Michele Bachmann. How could that be?

Apparently a whole lot of people still care about the Charlie Sheen saga. Either that or they were really excited about the long awaited meeting of Kelso and Duckie. Anyway, with his Comedy Central Roast breaking records for the network, the whole situation seems ripe for parody and we got a great instance of that from the folks at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The show presented a sketch that sees Sheen dealing with his new addiction; roasting.

When it was announced that Charlie Sheen would be presenting the award for “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series,” many viewers likely cringed and/or salivated over the likelihood that the former Two and a Half Men actor would make a scene, perhaps groping or setting someone on fire.

But, as it turned out, he was an incredibly classy and gracious presenter, wishing his show the best as it unveils its newest season (and its first without him).

Leave it to David Letterman to make Two and a Half Men kind of funny. (/Snarky elitist New York media joke!) The show’s new star, Ashton Kutcher, stopped by Letterman’s show recently to discuss how the sitcom will change now that he’s taking over for Charlie Sheen.

Kutcher explained that he’ll be playing “a billionaire internet entrepreneur” (“Like a Steve Guttenberg?” Letterman wanted to know.) trying to get over a painful divorce.

As you know, former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen‘s character, the perpetually bowling shirt-clad Charlie Harper, has been “terminated,” and the show’s new season will open with his funeral.

TMZ was able to obtain leaked images from that funeral, which looks like it will promptly feature the character’s iconic shirt. The death paves the way for Ashton Kutcher‘s character to take Sheen’s place and, producers hope, keep up the popular show’s momentum.

It would seem that Two and a Half Men fans that want Charlie Sheen to return to to the series will have to wait for some kind of Walking Dead zombie crossover episode. Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the show’s new season, the first since Sheen was fired from the series, will feature the funeral of Charlie Harper, Sheen’s character. Considering all the nasty things Sheen has said about the show’s executive producer Chuck Lorre in the past few months, he’s lucky the writing staff didn’t go with the proposed “Charlie is revealed to be a Nazi, pedophile, puppy torturer” storyline.

A long time ago, Comedy Central stopped airing the New York Friar’s Club Roasts and started doing their own, doing away with the spirit signified by the classic motto “We only roast the ones we love.” Instead, the network has found it much easier to choose celebrities that all of the comedians are already making fun of anyway. Following the recent mocking of Donald Trump, the comedians will now be going through their Twitter archives to dish up their best jokes about Charlie Sheen. What’s interesting though is that the network plans to air the special the same night that CBS is premiering the new, Sheen-less Two and a Half Men.

Charlie Sheen continues to make headlines even though he’s no longer the star of a hit sitcom. His Two and a Half Men character, Charlie Harper, is set to wear his signature bowling shirt on that great comfy couch in the sky.

With the 2012 Republican presidential race thinning out, Bill Maher is becoming increasingly irritated with the quirkiness factor of the field, but can’t see a way out. “The crazier the contestants, the more the voters like it,” he argued on last night’s Real Time, and the search was on to find “a candidate meaner than [Donald] Trump and dumber than [Sarah] Palin.” To that end, Maher decided to help out with a few suggestions, only half of which were fully human.

Forbes has come out with its annual list of the world’s most powerful celebrities – its “Celebrity 100.” Strewn among the requisite Hollywood actors, pop singers, supermodels and major athletes are a few names that are likely all too familiar to regular Mediaite readers.

Hackneyed double entendres will always be funny to huge amounts of the population so, despite Two and a Half Men having lost 40% of its titular men, CBS is still bringing the money machine/show back next year. With time running out, it is expected that executive producer Chuck Lorre will soon have Charlie Sheen’s replacement set. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that one actor who won’t be filling Sheen’s tacky bowling shirts and hilarious sense of sarcastic bemusement is Hugh Grant who reportedly turned down an offer that would have netted him $600 thousand an episode.

Donald Trump has been on the offensive as of late complaining about President Obama and his policies, yet now celebrities are on the attack. First it was Jerry Seinfeld expressing his disapproval of Trump’s political rhetoric, and now Charlie Sheen has put Trump in the crosshairs of his “Violent Torpedo of Truth.” Our sister site GossipCop is reporting that a pair of cufflinks Trump gave to Sheen are the source of Sheen’s anger.

Thanks to our friends at BuzzFeed, here’s a run down of all the funniest, weirdest, most disturbing, and all around best viral stories of the past week!

The town of Washington D.C. is filled with important people doing important things. The other night, Charlie Sheen was there too. A lot of times, these important people get police escorts during their travels through the city. The other night, Charlie Sheen did too. In a fairly hilarious article, the Washington Post is trying to find the answer to the most obvious question: why?

Sigh. Is questioning the President’s validity like the new “get a reality show” for washed up celebrity has beens? Seriously, name any celebrity D-lister out there who desperately wants a taste of that sweet C-list glory and chances are good that they’re wandering around, yelling about birth certificates, and hoping there are cameras present. God, this is even worse than when the cool thing to do in Hollywood was obsessively kiss Obama’s ass. Anyway, here’s a news story that combines two of my favorite topics: Charlie Sheen and Birtherism. Allow me to expend the effort for which it is due.

According to a new poll released Friday morning by Public Policy Polling, Celebrity Apprentice host and undeclared candidate for president Donald Trump now leads his nearest GOP primary opponent by nine percentage points. The man that Lawrence O’Donnell calls “NBC’s Charlie Sheen” is showing the political world that a Birther-fueled publicity tour + a weak Republican field equals “Winning!”

As speculation continues that Donald Trump may be planning to run for President, there’s no doubt that his brash, willing to say anything attitude is shaking up the political world. However, on his path towards success, Trump made plenty of enemies and now might be the time that some of them are waiting for, in order to extract maximum revenge.

Last night Charlie Sheen dropped by Drew Carey‘s new comedy show Improv-A-Ganza, a resurrection of his old show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Sheen’s appearance was certainly unique and confirmed that although he might have Tiger Blood, it seems he severely lacks any improv comedy skills. Unless of course hearing the phrase “dead hooker” repeated is your cup of tea.

Ever wondered where Ann Coulter comes down on the controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s birth certificate? Well the following clip from tonight’s episode of Hannity will not only reveal to you that she thinks that Donald Trump‘s recent “birther” campaign seems somewhat insane, but that the entire birth certificate was ginned up by the Hillary Clinton campaign and is promoted by the liberal media as a means to delegitimize any criticism of what she thinks is a terrible presidency. Surprise!?

In a sure sign that Donald Trump‘s tireless PR efforts on behalf of the Birther movement are working, Autism Speaks co-founder (and former NBC head) Bob Wright came to his interview about Autism Awareness Month prepared to prove where he was born. Following his and wife Suzanne’s introduction, Wright volunteered his birth certificate, eliciting a [...]
