All week long people have been asking us “so what’s going on with Charlie Sheen?”

Our first reaction is “Jesus, that guy - got an hour?” followed closely by “give me a sec, let me check online.”

From the legendary tennis-ball-sized coke rock and porn party to the latest series of interviews, where he explained his new Hugh Hefner-esque “Goddess” system, keeping up with Sheen's rapid-fire meltdown could be someone’s full-time job.

Curvy Hollywood sex symbol Jane Russell died today at the age of 89.
