Charlie Sheen said he was feeling good, moments after he left the court room in Colorado, where Pitkin County District Judge James C. Boyd sentenced him to sentenced to 30 days of drug and alcohol rehabilitation, in a rehab center in Malibu, California, instead of jail time. Charlie plead guilty as charge to assaulting his wife on Christmas Day, last year, in Aspen. He also got 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management. He had a good lawyer who worked out a good plea deal with the prosecutors for him. The Associated Press reports, Charlie has up to 30 days to report to rehab in Malibu. And, reports the website TMZ, Charlie will receive credit for time already served in rehab. So once Charlie checks in, he can check out almost immediately.

After discovering that the father’s parents are moving out of country, they no longer have ties to their community and decide to travel across the country, searching for the perfect place to raise a family. (Spoilers ahead.)

After spending so much time contemplating cities, wars, politics and economics, I realized that I had lost sight of some of the more enduring aspects of the North American continent. The natural beauty, for example. The truth is, this land of variety and abundance is both blessed and cursed by that very variety and abundance. All of its problems in the aforementioned subjects of contemplation can be traced back to how people have approached America's bounty. After searching for a particular check-in station in a vast tract of under-serviced land in the Federation of Free States for half a day, the crew and I decided to break our routine and set up a camp. We chose a spot along the Platte River, a place that looked like it hadn't been disturbed by people in years. This would prove to be a peaceful respite in between very troubled periods in our making of this film.

I've faced some terrifying things in my lifetime. I've stood in front of hundreds of thousands of people who expected me to impress them. I've spoken to every person in the entire world at the same time. I've seen a viscous poison eat away at my nation's waters and I've seen a whole country turned into a stone age hell after a single, catastrophic earthquake. My presidency has not been an easy one but I've soldiered forth. I am not ashamed to say that the only moment I ever considered running from my responsibilities was earlier today, surrounded by the nightmarish banshees who run ABC's daytime talk show The View.

A lot of people have heard that Kate Gosselin and her kids are coming up to Alaska to go camping with me and my family. What they don't know is the true reason why Kate is coming north with her vile brood. The real story is that I've got a big bone to pick with that harpy and her stupid hair extensions. If we met on her turf we'd probably get hauled off by the fuzz for something stupid and liberal like "child endangerment". That's why we're gonna be throwing down in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. Even if someone called a ranger, which they probably wouldn't because we settle our problems like warriors in the land of the midnight sun, it'd take the jerk pigs a couple hours to get where we're going. Two vicious hockey moms are going to enter the forest but only one is going to come out. Here's a hint for you gamblers in the room: I've got an appointment the next day I plan on keeping.

Apparently a lot of people do!  But why?  The hysteria over the state of her hystera is perplexing to those of us who have little interest in the reproductive decisions of complete strangers.  The rumor mill has been churning overtime in Aniston's case, who has been reported to be pregnant by various random sources and tabloids for months now.

The first thing that's problematic about the constant Aniston pregnancy rumors is that most of them rely on visible confirmation.  In other words, the fabled "baby bump."  In an actress as greyhound thin as Jennifer Aniston, a large meal could end up looking like a baby bump, given the right sheer top and a fortuitous gust of wind.

Since when has it become acceptable to stare at someone's slightly-less-than-concave belly and proclaim her pregnant?  For pity's sake, people.  Get a grip!  And stop assuming that a half pound weight gain indicates pregnancy!

That doesn't mean I don't take certain topics seriously. There are a few things in the news today that deserve a little extra attention on the respectable side of the equation.
