Charlie Sheen’s incident at the Plaza Hotel in New York last week wasn't the actor's first encounter with bad press.

Yet in the court of public opinion, the verdict seems to be, “So what?!” - and he’s still the highest paid actor on TV.

But Sheen’s long-time friend and fellow actor Tom Sizemore, who was recently on "Celebrity Rehab" battling his own addictions, says he fears for Sheen's life. CNN sat down with him in Los Angeles to get his take on what’s going on with Sheen.

Beginning November 8, the Oscar winner will do a three-episode guest stint on Lisa Kudrow's online comedy series, "Web Therapy."

Move over, Robert Pattinson - Johnny Depp is about to become the big screen's new sexy vampire. The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the actor will headline a film adaptation of the 1960s supernatural soap "Dark Shadows."

The 47-year-old star of the upcoming film "The Tourist" has reportedly been obsessed with the moody series, which ran on ABC from 1966 – 1971, ever since he was a child. He'll portray lead character Barnabas Collins, a vampire who lives in a manor in Maine and is looking for his lost love.

Tim Burton, who directed the actor in numerous films, including "Edward Scissorhands," "Sweeney Todd" and "Alice in Wonderland," will team up with him again for the fang-tastic thriller, which has been in development for three years.

Depp, who is currently filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," is set to begin filming "Dark Shadows" in April.

If you're squeamish, you may not last long during a screening of Danny Boyle's  "127 Hours."

Movieline reports that the just-released film, in which James Franco re-enacts trapped mountain climber Aron Ralston's arm-amputation scene, has caused fainting spells, panic attacks and even seizures among early audiences.

At the Telluride Film Festival in September, paramedics reportedly treated an older gentleman for light-headedness, as well as a young woman who had a panic attack. That same month, three people passed out and one individual had a seizure at the Toronto Film Festival.

“Big Bang Theory” is officially destination desirable for geek hotties.

On Thursday night’s episode, Eliza Dushku flowed through as an FBI agent investigating Howard for security clearance. Dushku – who has earned major geek cred thanks to roles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse” – was less comedic than she was the set-up for our guys to be hilarious.

Leonard’s attempted pick-up of her (“I’m going to pick you up at eight and show you a night you will never forget”) was so typical of him that it was as familiar as an old pair of jeans. When it comes to Leonard and the ladies, hope springs eternal.

"Community" knows its fan base very well, and this season, they've given the fans what they want: More Abed. Thursday night's episode was no exception.

Hilary Duff guest-starred as one of several "mean girls" at Greendale Community College, constantly tormenting Britta, Shirley and Annie... until they learned that the too-observant Abed has a gift for insults.

Abed finds his inner mean girl, or at least a mean girl version of Robocop. The insults flew so fast, it was virtually impossible to catch all of them without rewinding your DVR. Duff's character facing off with Abed was a wonder to behold.

Will Ferrell may bring on big laughs, but big box office? Not so much.

For the second year in the row, the comic has landed himself at the top of Forbes's Overpaid Actors List.

To come up with its Top 10 – which counts movies made prior to June 2010 - Forbes looked at the three most recent films of the actors on its Celebrity 100 list. It then calculated the money raked in from the theatrical, DVD, and TV releases of those films, factored in production budgets, and compared the final figure to the star's salary.

Seth Rogen, Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford are just a few of the stars who will appear on Conan O'Brien's new late-night talk show over the next two weeks. One name that won't be landing on the list anytime soon? Jay Leno.

"He can come as the musical guest, because that I want to see," O'Brien remarks in a candid new interview in Playboy's December issue before adding, "No, there are certain things I will not do, regardless of the price.”

And while the "Conan" show will tape not far from the "Tonight Show," O'Brien doesn't anticipate that he and Leno will ever cross paths. "We hang out in different circles, so I don’t think we’ll be bumping into each other," he explains.
