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.

    Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has banned their children from watching her concerts.

    Kevin decided the shows were too raunchy for Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, after watching a dress rehearsal of 'The Circus Starring Britney Spears'.

    However, Britney wanted her kids to see her perform and so treated them to a child-friendly version of her 90-minute show, which opened in New Orleans on Tuesday night (03.03.09).

    "Seinfeld" isn't coming back, but its stars will be together again this fall on HBO.

    The network says that Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will appear in several episodes of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The HBO comedy stars Larry David, who helped create "Seinfeld."

    We don't have HBO but if we did I'd definitely watch.

    Pop star Jewel and TV host Nancy O'Dell have dropped out of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

    Both women sustained injuries during training for the show that prevent them from continuing the competition, the network announced Thursday. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while the "Access Hollywood" host will need surgery to repair a torn knee cartilage, the network said.

    A replacement for at least one of the women may be announced during Monday's season premiere, said executive producer Conrad Green.

    "Obviously this has caught us a bit by surprise," he said, adding that any replacement would have "literally a couple of days to learn the routine, as opposed to a month."

    Britney Spears And Kevin Federline To Move In Together For Sake Of Their Boys?

    Britney Spears has reportedly asked ex-husband Kevin Federline to play happy families at her new L.A. home, according to an unlikely new report.

    Britney Spears has said she'll cancel her upcoming Circus would tour - unless she's allowed to take her children on the road with her.

    The Toxic singer, 27, kicks off the 33 date tour in New Orleans on March 3, 2009.

    But she is threatening to pull plug as ex-husband Kevin Federline's lawyers continue to block an agreement allowing her to take sons.

    Perhaps this is why she supposedly asked him to move back in with them?

    "I am not gay," he told British tabloid the Daily Star. "But in this business, if you were it wouldn't matter. It is not exactly unusual to be gay in the music business or the TV business. It is 2009, after all. So if you are, you are and if you're not, you're not."

Paul Stanley tells Page Six that he, Gene Simmons and the band are headed into the studio to grind out their 42nd record for release this fall.

    NBC.com, Hulu.com, and NFL.com have all the Super Bowl ads collected on each of their sites. Strangely, NFL.com and Hulu make you sit through an ad before you get to watch a Super Bowl ad. Hulu seems to have the best video player of the three, the NFL site actually has game highlights, and NBC is probably the most convenient since you don’t have to sit through a pre-ad ad.

    And I will never watch "One Tree Hill" again.

    Why?

    Because Kevin Federline (also Britney Spears's rodent-like ex-husband) is doing three episodes where he plays a struggling musician whom one of the characters will try to help.

    Bleck.

    He is a terrible rapper, father, person and actor.



    In other more important and far better news the rumors about celebrity pregnancies today include Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey. The couple have been seeing each other for several years now and Jenny is constantly gushing about how great Jim is with her son. Wowzers! I'm excited for thems if this is true.
