Charlie Sheen launches his own cookery show

Charlie Sheen launches his own cookery show
He's currently unemployed after being fired from Two And A Half Men on Monday, but it looks like Charlie Sheen may have found a new vocation.

Taking his media blitz one step further, the father-of-five has hosted a spoof cookery show for the FunnyOrDie.com website.

Playing up to his new 'winning' catchphrase, the troubled actor wears a tiger-patterned chef's hat as he presents 'Charlie Sheen's Winning Recipes'.

Despite his erratic behaviour in recent weeks, the 45-year-old was praised for being 'very professional' during the filming at his Beverly Hills home.


Mike Farah, President of Production for FunnyOrDie.com, said the company had approached the actor on Sunday with ideas for a collaboration and he had been very forthcoming.

Farah told TMZ.com that Sheen was full of ideas and even suggested the tiger-patterned hat - playing up to his recent claim to drinking 'tiger blood'.

As Sheen was filming at home, a porn star was outside with a 'special delivery' from adult entertainment company Brazzers.

Actress Britney Amber turned up with a large box addressed to Sheen while wearing a T-shirt reading 'Charlie's Goddess'.
She was declined entry to the property, but she did manage to successfully deliver whatever was in the box.

After Sheen claimed he had tiger blood running through his veins, he's also been spotted drinking a bottle of red liquid with the words 'tiger blood' written across it.

But it turns out the source of 'Sheen's power' is actually Xango mangosteen juice.

A source close to Sheen he actually refers to it as 'mango juice' privately, despite hamming it up and claiming its tiger blood for the media.
However, one company has been inspired to launch a new energy drink called Bi-Winning Tiger Blood.

Sheen's impassioned outbursts about his strength and mental prowess have inspired the red drink, which is described on Harcos Laboratories's website as: 'Made from 100 per cent passion specifically to make your brain fire in a way that's not from this particular terrestrial realm.'

The website continues: "Tiger Blood allows you to use household items, you're welcome to take more drugs than anyone can survive.

'Be different, have a different brain, and a different heart. When you feel Tiger Blood in your veins, you'll realise dying's for fools and that can't is the cancer of happen.

'Period. The end.'

While the world is still reeling from the stream of garbled 'Sheenisms', Harcos is selling pouches of the drink for $4 each through the website.

The firm behind Sheen's on-screen shirts in the sitcom aren't so positive about the future after he complained about the 'silly shirts'.

Clothing company Da Vinci's pannelled shirts were inspired by one worn by his character Charlie Harper and endorsed by the actor.

But they're concerned about their business after he declared he was happy he didn't have to 'put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension'.

Chief designer Christopher Wicks told TMZ.com: 'Charlie's frustration is based on his current position in life, rather than the actual shirts. I wish him good health and happiness in his new found terrestrial dimension.'
Meanwhile, the actor revealed yesterday that over 74,000 people have applied to be his social media intern.

He only joined Twitter last week and has so far accrued 2.45million followers and is hoping to employ someone to spread his own brand of 'winning'.

Yesterday, Sheen appeared on a California radio station while running on a treadmill from his LA home.

The actor talked about his possible replacements to play his Two And A Half Men character Charlie Harper - and wished them good luck.

He also offered a 'half apology' to his former co-star Jon Cryer for calling him a 'turncoat and a troll' but later told the hosts of K-EARTH 101 that Cryer was awful at fluffing his lines.

During his breathless interview, Sheen also challenged Celebrity Rehab's Dr. Drew Pinsky to a boxing match.

Speaking about the experts who have branded him unstable, he said: 'I have to scoff at their silliness ... they never met the man.'

Sheen said he had been talking to Rob Lowe, who has been touted as his possible replacement.

'He's a buddy of mine, he's a beautiful man, he's a brilliant actor and I hope he does it and kicks its a** - because I still get paid.'

But asked if he had any advice for his possible replacement he joked: 'I recommend making it their own. Don't look at the 177 brilliant episodes I did, ignore the 400 re-runs every week that you can't avoid, cancel your Sheen ap.'

Asked about his former co-star Cryer, who he hit out at yesterday, Charlie said: 'I will apologise to Jon right now. I was kind of in a mood and I threw it out there to someone.'

When one of the presenters Lisa Stanley asked him he was formally apologising to Cryer, he back tracked, saying: 'A little bit, it's a half apology, it's an apol.'

He said that he was upset because Cryer hadn't been in touch following his sacking to say he 'had his back' which promoted him to make the comments to a U.S. celebrity website.

Later, when asked by host Gary Bryan about a reel of footage which Warner Bros. is said to have put together showing Sheen in a bad light, the actor appeared shocked at first.

The host explained that the reel supposedly showed Sheen forgetting his lines and being unable to perform his duties which Warner Bros. could use to justify sacking Sheen if the matter is the subject of a civil lawsuit.

But Sheen put on a strong front, blasting: ' I say poppycock. Is that the best they've got. Wow. Burial, losing, sizzle, bye.'

He claimed that Cryer was the one who always fluffed his lines: 'Jon's the bubble popper, but it's OK because it makes it fun for the [studio] audience.'

Sheen rounded off by saying that his TV days are 'probably behind' him, but said he was looking forward to going and making some movies.

The World's Hairiest Girl

Posted by Shazy on Monday, February 28, 2011

The World's Hairiest Girl
The World's Hairiest Girl
Her nicknames may include 'wolf girl' and 'monkey face'.
But 11-year-old Thai girl Supatra Sasuphan today insisted that she was after being officially recognised as the world's hairiest girl.
Although the schoolgirl from Bangkok has faced merciless teasing at school, Supatra says being given a Guinness World Record for her hair has helped her become extremely popular.
'I'm very happy to be in the Guinness World Records! A lot of people have to do a lot to get in,' she said. 'All I did was answer a few questions and then they gave it to me.'

Supatra is one of just 50 known sufferers of Ambras Syndrome - caused by a faulty chromosome - to be documented since the Middle Ages. Before the disease was understood, sufferers were branded 'werewolves.'

She has thick hair growing over her face, ears, arms, legs and back. Even laser treatment has failed to stop the hair growth.

But while most sufferers have been shunned, Supatra has gradually been embraced by her community, and became a popular and outgoing child.

The World's Hairiest Girl
'One of the most popular girls in school': Supatra with classmates at Ratchabophit school, where she says getting the record for world's hairiest girl has helped her win more friends.

She said: 'There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don't do it any more.
'I'm very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything.
'It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long.I hope I will be cured one day.'
In other ways Supatra is the same as other children her age - she loves swimming, dancing to her favourite music and playing with friends.
But more than anything, Supatra loves perching in front of the TV at her tiny one-bedroom family home in Pranakom, on the outskirts of Bangkok, to watch cartoons.

She said: 'I like to watch anything on TV, whatever is, I like having it on. I like to watch Bugs Bunny.'
The bubbly little girl is also determined not to let her condition prevent her from leading a normal life.
She said: 'I like to study maths so I can be good at it and teach it to younger children so they can do it too.
'I want to become a doctor so I can help patients when they get injured.
'I want to help people who get hurt and help cure people.'
But Supatra's future didn't always look so promising. When she was first born she had to undergo two operations just to breathe.
Her father Sammrueng, 38, said: 'We found out Supatra's condition when she was born - we did not know before.

'She was not very healthy because her nostrils were only one millimetre wide. For the first three months she was kept in an incubator to help her breathe.She was in the hospital for a total of ten months. We were very worried about her.'

Supatra has another operation when she was two-years-old and can now breathe normally.
But when Sammrueng and his wife Somphon, 38, brought Supatra home to live with them and their other daughter Sukanya, now 15, they faced more problems.
'When neighbours first saw Nat they asked what kind of sin I had done. I was very worried about what she would be when she grew up because of other children teasing her,' he said.
But Supatra's sweet nature quickly won over people in her community.
Sammrueng, a jewellery maker, said: 'She gets along with others really well and is very generous. She has a lot of friends.
'She is just the same as any other little girl her age.
'But her teeth grow slowly and she can't see very well."
Doctors tried to remove the hair with laser treatment when she was two-years-old but despite numerous sessions it kept growing back as thickly as before.
Supatra's hair has got increasingly thicker as she has grown up so her mother has to cut it back regularly for her.
She uses baby shampoo to wash her hair as she is allergic to stronger brands.
Sammrueng said: 'I still hope one day she will be cured. We will do anything we can if it will help her.'
