‘Two And A Half Men’ Star Slams Own Show
Angus T. Jones, a 19-year-old cast member of “Two and a Half Men,” says he wants people to stop watching his sitcom because it is “filth.” Jones made the statement during a 15-minute religious testimonial for the Christian group Forerunner Chronicles that was posted to YouTube. “If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men,’” he said in the clip. “I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men,’ and I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth,” he said. “People say it’s just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you’ll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.” The sitcom is now in its 10th season. Charlie Sheen was fired during Season 8 for his erratic behavior and drug use. He was replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

Lindsay’s Liz Taylor Performance Panned!
Lindsay Lohan appeared in her highly anticipated role as Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick on Sunday – and her performance was immediately panned by critics and Twitter users. Critics described her as being completely miscast and The Hollywood Reporter likened the film to a Saturday Night Live skit. Some of the best/harshest tweets can be found here. According to sources, Lindsay is apparently devastated by the negative response. “She has got used to all the negative press around her personal life but this is the first time she has experienced it about her work,” a close friend of the actress told The Huffington Post. “No matter how bad things were going for her personally, everyone would always agree that she was a great actress.”

Oprah Confirms Cancer False Alarm
Oprah Winfrey announced she had a cancer scare last month, but offered few details to those gathered at an Oprah Magazine event in Los Angeles. The New York Times said the 58-year-old media mogul surprised the largely female audience in mid-October by revealing how she thought the week before she might have breast cancer. Winfrey assured the crowd it was a false alarm; however, her best friend, broadcast journalist Gayle King, who was with her, became visibly upset, the newspaper said. An unidentified woman in the audience reportedly chided Winfrey for not telling King the news ahead of time, but it was unclear whether Winfrey apologized.
