Charlie Sheen Declares: I'm Grandiose, Not Gonna Die!


In his latest rant - this time to TMZ, from his own backyard - Charlie Sheen insinuated that long-time publicist Stan Rosenfield lied in October when he claimed that Sheen's Plaza Hotel breakdown was due to an allergic reaction.

As a result of this statement, Rosenfield issued the following statement this afternoon: "I’m unable to work effectively as his publicist and have respectfully resigned."

Sheen's response to this decision? "Pussy. He's not allowed to quit, so you’re fired."

Explain Yourself!

Yes, it's just another few hours in the life of Charlie Sheen. Shortly after he went off to NBC and ABC regarding his status as a role model for his children, the star spoke with TMZ and said he was disappointed in how those interviews were portrayed.

"I had an expectation, and the result was not something I thought it would be. And that's on me. Whatever, life goes on."

Among other topics Sheen touched on: his father, his kids and Heath Ledger...

On his 10-month old kids: "Everybody here is parenting the kids. They're running into walls, but they're screaming 'Da-Da' when they do it."

On his father's recent defense: "I respectfully allow him to maintain those beliefs and those opinions. I don't support them ... He doesn't live inside my brain. I'm the only one who does ... No disrespect, but I'm 45 years old. At some point, respect and embrace that. I have five kids."

Is he crazy? "I'm grandiose."

Does he fear suffering a similar fate to Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger? "It's not a one-size fits all. That's what people don't seem to get. That's all I'm going to say about it. Don't do drugs that are just supposed to be administered in a hospital at home. Read the frickin' labels."

Lady Gaga is known to put a lot of thought into everything from her performance art to her over-the-top outfits and everything in between. Her brand-new video for "Born This Way" is no exception. Shortly before its premiere on Monday (February 28), the pop titan called into BBC's Radio 1 to dish a few details about the seven-minute clip.

"It's the story about the birth of a new race," the pop star told DJ Greg James. "A race that bears no prejudice and a race thats primary sort of ambition in life is to inspire unity and togetherness."

Gaga also said she was "very proud" of the clip, admitting that her team collectively worked to breathe life into her concept. "I had an absolutely sublime time working on it," the singer said. "I actually did it with a U.K. filmmaker and very famous fashion photographer Nick Knight. I worked on it with him. I wrote the script for the video and the concept, and between himself and Laurieann Gibson, my choreographer, we really brought the story to life."

While many have pointed out that "Born This Way" is reminiscent of Madonna's 1989 classic "Express Yourself," Gaga was the first to admit that the clip was inspired by a few other creative greats. "It's very inspired by, especially in the beginning, Salvador Dalí and Francis Bacon, the surrealist painters," she said.

Not only did Mother Monster stress the clip's symbolism and visuals, but the songstress revealed that she wanted to make a video that would really show what was going on in her head while writing the celebratory '90s-esque dance tune. "The song is very meaningful to me, so I wanted to make something that would really show what was going on in my head when I wrote 'Born This Way.' "

Hours before the premiere, Gaga took to Twitter to share a mostly black-and-white video still from the anticipated clip, which depicts an evil Gaga pulling a gun out from her thigh area.

Store Sneakily Advertises On The Backs Of Women's Legs

Superette shorts ads

I'm not sure what to think of this advertising scheme by Superette, a store in Australia and New Zealand. They put these stamps on park benches and mall seats, with the idea that women in short skirts and shorts would sit and have the ad imprinted on the back of their thighs. Part of me thinks this is super creative and kind of funny; but the other part would be pretty pissed if I looked down and realized that I had an ad pressed into my gams. Plus, the store says the imprints last up to an hour. Eek! What do you think of this? [Ads of the World]
