Some boring celeb news for your weekend

Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen and wife Brooke Mueller Sheen welcomed twin boys Saturday night. The children, named Max and Bob, are the first for the couple, who married in May 2008.

"They're doing great," Sheen's publicist Stan Rosenfield tells PEOPLE of the babies, who weren't due for another few weeks. "And Brooke's doing great."

The two, who married in May of last year, announced last October that two babies were on the way! Sheen already has three daughters -- Sam, 5, and Lola, 3, with his ex-wife Denise Richards -- and 24-year-old Cassandra from a previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt.

Pop star Lionel Richie flew into a panic at the news his daughter Nicole was pregnant - as he believed it would spell an end to his sex appeal.

The All Night Long star, 59, believed the birth of 14-month old Harlow, fathered by punk rocker Joel Madden, would signal his sex symbol status was over.

Yet Richie now admits he enjoys life as a grandfather, albeit at a distance.

He tells British tabloid the Daily Record, "I went through a panic - that's the end of my career. But I'm having more fun now with the responsibility of being a grandpa - that is, playing with the baby and handing her back."

Three people were arrested and six others hurt Saturday after bedlam broke out while they waited to audition for America's Next Top Model, police said.

Police didn't know what prompted the chaos involving hundreds of people outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports.

"It was pretty scary," Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show.

Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn't properly organized.

Actor and comedian Steve Martin has offered to pay for the off-campus production of his play Picasso at the Lapin Agile after it was banned from an Oregon high school.

Martin wrote in a letter to The La Grande Observer that his goal in paying for the performance of the play is to keep his work "from acquiring a reputation it does not deserve," the Associated Press reports.

According to reports, Picasso at the Lapin Agile was banned from La Grande High School in Oregon after a parent objected to the production and provided a petition signed by 137 people. The main objections to the play were the drinking scenes and its alleged disrespectful references to women.
