Only two celebrity weeklies in our round-up opted to put the face of Tiger Blood and Adonis DNA on their covers, despite his endless - endless, right? It's like this story will just keep going, and going, and going - saga. Everyone else studiously ignored Sheen's antics and rantings in favor of rehashed stories about how Jennifer Aniston is becoming a mom (seriously, how many times does this lady have to say that's not happening?) and more breathless coverage on the latest batch of "Teen Moms." Oh, and Brad Womack. Until next week.... Celebs tweet prayers for JapanThe devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunami has not only media organizations but the Twitter-verse buzzing. Celebrities like Alyssa Milano, P. Diddy and stars from "Glee" are tracking the news and tweeting prayers, hope and ideas on how we can help. As the news developed early Friday, Lindsay Lohan was apparently glued to CNN for the latest updates, as she tweeted a photo of the coverage unfolding on her television along with the message, "My mommy just woke my sister and i up to this! god bless those that are in fear." Gwyneth Paltrow's fascinating home life with Chris MartinYou may never see Gwyneth Paltrow and hubby Chris Martin hand-in-hand on the red carpet, but that doesn't mean they're not spending quality time together at home. "Last Saturday night, I made turkey meatballs and we all had dinner together, then put the kids to bed and watched a movie on Apple TV," Paltrow tells interviewer Faith Hill in the April issue of InStyle U.K. "We always go out one night of the weekend, because it's nice for me to get out of the house. I cook so much during the week, it's good for me to have a break and eat something that I don't make, like sashimi or Indian food." The family, which includes daughter Apple, 6, and son Moses, 4, divide their time between England and the United States, and the "Country Strong" star says she enjoys inviting friends over to the house for something of a hoedown. "I like having dance parties at my house and being super-goofy with my girlfriends," says the Oscar winner. "We just play dance music, like whatever is on the radio, and then old stuff — Michael Jackson, disco — and new stuff; we mix it up. It's fun."

Orlando Bloom on fatherhood and Elvish tattooOrlando Bloom is bracing himself for a very exciting year. Besides being a first-time dad, he's about to appear on 450 movie screens in a live Shakespeare broadcast and is also contemplating getting a new tattoo. Bloom and supermodel wife Miranda Kerr welcomed son Flynn in January and the actor says he couldn't be happier. "I'm 34 and it’s great timing actually," he tells the Hollywood Reporter.

The Situation's jokes draw boos at Trump roast"Jersey Shore" star Mike Sorrentino got himself into a real Situation while filming Comedy Central's Roast of Donald Trump on Wednesday. The reality star told jokes that were so offensive that the crowd nearly booed him off stage, reports Us Weekly. Sorrentino began by taking shots at his fellow presenters, calling Larry King old, Lisa Lampanelli fat and Marlee Matlin ugly. But that was nothing compared to what he had in store for Snoop Dogg. In a racially insensitive bit, Sorrentino quipped that the rapper had much in common with Trump, since Trump owned a lot of property and Snoop's ancestors had once been property.
