Charlie Sheen 'sorry' for vile voicemail to ex, David Beckham strips off

10:55AM Friday June 20, 2008

Actor Charlie Sheen has been forced to apologise for using a racial slur in a voicemail to ex wife Denise Richards.

A slew of three-year-old expletive-laced messages reportedly left by Sheen to his former missus made their way online on Wednesday, allegedly leaked by vengeful Richards.

One of the shocking messages from the Two and a Half Men actor includes a curse-filled rant, calling Richards a ""f***** c***" and a "f***** n*****."

He rants, "I guess I should just get used to the fact that... you fire off your nonsense and your lawyer bull***t and your f****** e-mails and then you don't answer the phone.

"I'm just really f***** mad and you owe me a phone call... If I did the same s*** to you, you'd be f***** furious."

"You're a coward and a liar and a f****** n*****."

Sheen has subsequently gone into damage limitation mode and issued a swift apology for his potty-mouthed tirade.

"I deeply apologise by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings."

"And for the record, my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation," Sheen's statement continued.

"So three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis."

But despite being blamed for the timely 'leak' of the voicemails, Richards said during an interview in the U.S. this week that she only recently heard the calls had been leaked.

"I got several calls from my publicist who told me about it," she said.

"Those are actually files with the court [from] two years ago... There are transcripts that were public record two years ago. I don't know how an actual tape got out. I actually haven't heard it since I was told about it, so I don't know."

Hmmm, I'm not so sure she's as innocent as she makes out to be. It's all a bit too convenient.

These two have been at each other's throats and in a bitter feud since they split in 2006. And their public scraps do little to reinforce the idea that either of them is fit to be parents.

Stop the catfighting and think of the kids, guys.

Warning: Do not read any further if you want to remain in the dark about the set list of Madonna's upcoming Sticky and Sweet world tour.

Madge hasn't even begun tour rehearsals yet, but that hasn't stopped a mole from leaking what could well be the new tour's set list online.

Spoiler set list here

If it's kosher, Madge fans are in for a treat. That set list has a nice balance of old classics with some of the more passable songs from her Hard Candy album.

Quote of the day

"I also put Coco Pops in my butt. Why? For comedy and experiment. I was a scientist and I discovered you could put a lot of them up your butt." - Jack Black on some of the weirdo things he'd get up to as a child.

Britney's doppelganger

Hey, Britney Spears. You have a doppelganger, love.

This talented performer appeared on America's Got Talent this week:

Yes, it's a man. And he's better than the real McCoy.

What's all the fuzz about?

Robbie Williams' beard has gone AWOL.

The bad news is that boy wonder is still on the hunt for little green men.

He's allegedly taken to pitching his tent in the woods near his LA home, because that's where he and his bunch of burly mates think they stand a better chance of spotting E.T.

A source tells British tabloid The Sun: "Rob has been taking pals out to the woods for long weekends. He wants to live like a cowboy in a Western."

How very Brokeback Mountain.

That's my girl

The Welsh are a fabulous bunch.

Take pop sensation Duffy, for example. She's just scored a chart double and has been crowned the queen of Europe.

The songbird has toppled none other than Madonna off her perch at the top of the European singles chart; and her album's still in the number one slot for a second week.

Llongyfarchiadau i ti, Duffy.

Hard candy to you, Madonna.

Which dwarf are you, Naomi Campbell?

Oh yes, Grumpy.

The model was reportedly happily posing for photographers after dining at London's celeb-magnet restaurant Cipriani on Monday, but then, as if out of nowhere...bad Campbell reared her ugly head.

That's right, the clotheshorse apparently went bats***

A source tells The London Paper (via Showbiz Spy), "Suddenly Naomi flipped and started swinging her arms about manically. No one could work out what was wrong with her. She was shouting and screaming as her friends desperately tried to get her into the car. She was ranting incomprehensibly."

Reverse tactics

Seal has an aversion to paparazzi, this much we know.

But his dislike of lens lizards is getting a wee bit out of hand. He was filmed this week going to inordinate lengths to avoid a bunch of snappers, including driving down the wrong side of the street, in reverse.

Feral Farrell wed?

Aside from the fuss generated by his borderline-anoerxia in the name of film, Colin Farrell has been keeping a low profile for months.

Until now, that is. The notorious bad boy is back in the headlines, after rumours began swirling that he's married.

TMZ claims Farrell has married girlf Muireann McDonnell.

What set the rumour mill into motion is the fact he's wearing a ring on his left ring finger.

Jeez, can't a boy just wear some bling for the sake of just wearing bling?

The backlash continues

Katherine Heigl is about as popular as a fart in a phone booth.

Ever since she declared so disingenuously that she was pulling out of this year's Emmy race  - because her Grey's Anatomy character wasn't given enough material to deserve one - everyone's taking aim at the starlet.

TV writer Emma Rosenblum is the latest to vent her spleen over Heiglgate. This is her open letter to the troubled actress:

"Okay, Heigl, we agree that Izzie's story lines have become increasingly marginal and unbelievable. Lately, everyone on the show seems to think that Izzie's completely irritating. So do we! We actually groan aloud when your face appears onscreen! And guess what? You're totally annoying and self-righteous, just like Izzie!

And then (and then!) you called your own hit movie, Knocked Up, "a little sexist." But you did it, you made lots of money, and it made you a certified movie star. Do you think you're above the work that you do? It was a comedy, and you profited tremendously. You're no Streep, honey, and even she does Abba with a smile.

Grey's Anatomy is a soap opera. Get off your high horse, missy. You talk all about the integrity of the Academy? Ha! You know they're giving an Emmy to a reality-TV show host this year, right? Stop p****** off your writers and directors and castmates."

Little things...

Amuse me.

This is another reason why I want to see Will Smith's new movie, Hancock.

Is he boasting or complaining? I'm not sure. They better fix that billboard pronto - otherwise they'll have Smith under the trade description act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_Descriptions_Act for false advertising.

Gassy lass?

Britney Spears and her demonstrably bloated belly is the subject of yet more pregnancy rumours.

It's like a bad smell that just won't go away.

The latest speculation is fuelled by this picture of Spears emerging form an LA restaurant on Wednesday.

Has Brit Brit been playing doctors and nurses? Surely no man in his right mind would touch this beast with a barge pole?!

Nice tackle, Becks

David Beckham's nether regions return for an encore.

The England midfielder has stripped down to his pants again as part of the newest Emporio Armani underwear campaign.

Drool at the perfect specimen here.

Who's a big boy then?

Amuse yourselves for a second; I need a moment to breathe.

Becks unveiled the steamy image before a throng of screaming fans outside Macy's department store in San Francisco yesterday.

Check out a video of the unveiling here.

The revealing shot - taken by fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott - shows the star in his tight-whites while working out on a Malibu beach.

A Macy's worker tells British tabloid The Sun: "San Francisco hasn't seen anything like this for years.

"There were thousands of girls there to see David and his new Armani ad. And they were all going crazy. They were screaming and pushing each other to try and get a closer look.

"When the ad was unveiled, there was a collective ‘ooh' before the screams started again.

"Seriously, it was like Beatlemania scenes. David thought it was funny."

More of Goldenballs' shameless cavorting and flesh flashing here and here

I know Becks is of the 'body by Michelangelo, brain by Mattel' variety, but he's clever enough to market his best assets and prey on our baser instincts.

But what of the man's modesty? Is Posh really a lucky girl, or has Becks' lunchbox been given the airbrush treatment as some claim?

Oh, who cares?

Retro Friday

Just because...

The above has absolutely nothing to do with the fact I watched Dirty Dancing for the millionth time last night. Honestly.

"Oh, come on, ladies. God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake 'em!"

Enjoy your weekends. And be good. Or as my mother used to say: "If you can't be good, be careful".
