WINNING!

Ah, it feels so good to write--almost as good as it feels to say! Thank you, Charlie Sheen, for that.

Apparently bored to death by this year's baffling Oscar ceremony, the suddenly out-of-work actor took it upon himself to entertain a nation with monologues and twists of phrase that no team of writers could have come up with. Screw hosting. Sheen should pen all the acceptance speeches next year!

How great would it be if everyone got up and thanked themselves for being so AWESOME?

But without further ado, we bring you more news and vintage balderdash:

RED CARPET: Relive the 2011 Oscars, for better (Dresses! Parties! Gorgeous people!) or worse

APOCALYPSE NOW?: If this Two and a Half Men thing doesn't pan out --what do you think is going to happen?--Charlie Sheen has serious potential as a motivational speaker. Actually, he could found an entire religion at the rate he's going. The outlandish radio interviews that contributed to his show being suspended were just the tip of the iceberg. He promised exclusive glory to ABC News, but proceeded to hit up NBC's Today, CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, an E! News cell phone and The Howard Stern Show before you could say "tune in Tuesday for a special 20/20." Even if publicist resigned. Then, perhaps getting a frog in his throat, he joined Twitter and rocketed (you know, thanks to all the rocket fuel coursing through his veins) to 1 million followers in record time. We'd consider losing custody of his twin sons ( perhaps for good ) and having Denise Richards keep their girls away from him to be considerable lows, but Charlie sounds like he's still on cloud nine at Sober Valley Lodge! He did seem to be back-pedaling just a bit as the week went on, eventually apologizing to John Stamos for suggesting that Men would suck if Uncle Jesse were aboard.

THUD: Oh, the Oscars. Usually our hands-down favorite awards show of the year, the 83rd Annual Academy Awards hit new lows in timing, staging, memorable moments (for positive reasons, that is) and in-memoriam disses, not all of which was due to amiable but not-right-for-the-job Anne Hathaway and too-cool-for-school James Franco. We will say this, we don't think Franco was disrespecting the moment, but he didn't have enough stage time for his Pineapple Express-glazed, devil-may-care, deadpan humor to connect with the audience. A musical ode to Hugh Jackman, who hosted two years ago and wasn't even in a movie last year? An elaborate joke about Robert Downey Jr.'s rowdy past? Intros that made no sense once an award had been handed out? We didn't know it was the chimps' year to write. But yay for The King's Speech and the other winning movies, most of which were pretty excellent. And The Wolfman was an example of strong achievement in makeup.

DRUNK TANK: Christina Aguilera was busted for public drunkenness, of all things, and locked away for a few hours along with boyfriend Matthew Rutler, who unfortunately was driving and is facing a DUI rap. The singer isn't going to be charged with any crime, hence the mug-shot that would have stayed under wraps had not E! News been so crafty!

TWINKLE TOES: The line-up for the 12th season of Dancing With the Stars once again includes one of E!'s own, Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, who will be paired with veteran pro Louis Van Amstel--and is favored to win!

TUBAL SENSATION: They aren't even an onscreen couple (thanks for reminding us, Joel McHale), let alone a real couple, and Jeff and Annie from Community still beat out House and Cuddy to be named TV's Top Couple!

BAKER'S DOZEN: American Idol ripped off a tourniquet-sized Band-Aid and let 11 contestants go all at once to settle on a Top 13 that Jennifer Lopez doesn't necessarily agree with.

HIS WORLD: Justin Bieber did indeed flip off the paparazzi after having dinner at the Grove with Selena Gomez, his grandma and newly blond Chris Brown on his 17th birthday, but at least no one punched his girlfriend in the face. And his hair sold for more than $40,000 on eBay.

BLACK SWAN: Likely GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee had the misfortune to get sucked into a conservative radio talk show host's diatribe against Hollywood types, specifically Natalie Portman, who gives a " distorted image " of single motherhood--never mind that she's engaged! To be fair, Huckabee didn't bring it up. But it still begged the question, why don't these politicians ever pick on their own party?! Lord knows, they have plenty of ammo.

COLD-HEARTED SNAKE?: Paul Abdul called 911 on the man she was out with on Valentine's Day, but later said that sometimes people argue, and they since worked things out.

LOOK OUT: David Arquette bumped his head but kept his humor intact after a head-on collision in Beverly Hills. Dragon's blood and all, considering he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, he's quite lucky. We hope rather than shake something loose, the crash rattled something back into place in Arquette's stressed-out brain.

BLOOD MONEY: Mariah Carey, Usher, Beyonc and Nelly Furtado have all copped to receiving massive paydays to perform at private concerts which, they're supposedly finding out now, were funded by coffers linked to tyrannous Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Several charities are now richer thanks to Usher, Beyonc 's and Furtado's hand-washing, but Mariah didn't mention anything other than being " embarrassed."

CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE: Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, insists she wasn't snorting cocaine in a picture that certainly makes her look as if she's doing just that. Via Twitter, she blamed the fancy photography on a friend whom "God will smite" in good time.

TWITTER ISSUES: Charlie Sheen doesn't have any problems, obviously, but Ashton Kutcher got hacked and James Franco's peers at Yale aren't too impressed by his Twitter prowess. And he isn't particular impressed by their lack of impression. Meanwhile, Rihanna and Ciara engaged in a quick Twitter war, aided and abetted by Perez Hilton, after Ciara referred to Ri-Ri as "not the nicest" during an appearance on E!'s Fashion Police.

FAMILY TIED: Meredith Baxter, who not too long ago came out as a lesbian, discusses abuse she claims to have suffered at the hands of ex-husband David Birney. He denies.
