Pia Toscano
Pia Toscano’s elimination on American Idol may go down as one of the show’s most shocking moments. Pia had many fans and some believed she would win the entire competition. Even the judges were upset and shocked. In a phone interview with Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez said of Pia “She was one of the most talented singers we had.” The judges had already used their save so they couldn’t use it on Pia. Other celebrities took to their twitter accounts to express their outrage of Pia’s elimination. Some of the theories out there as to why she may have been eliminated is that many of the viewers may have assumed Pia was safe because she was so good so they voted for some of their other favorites instead. Another story was that there may have been a voting glitch, John Marcario of Fairfax, Virginia told Radaronline that his wife was trying to vote for Pia online and was unable to get it to work until the fifth attempt at clicking the link. The show has denied that there was a voting glitch. Good news for Pia though is that she has already landed a record deal just one day after the shocking elimination.

Sheen has been in the hospital numerous times now for an alleged overdose on cocaine, the reason Two and a Half Men halted production. The show’s producers wanted Sheen to go to a rehab facility but he said he would do his rehab at his home. Here are some of his crazy recent quotes:

  1. When Asked If He Would Ever Touch Drugs Again
    “I will not believe that if I do something then I have to follow a certain path because it was written for normal people, people who aren’t special, people who don’t have tiger and Adonis DNA.”
  2. Addressing Rumors That He May Be Bipolar
    “I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now what? If I’m bipolar, aren’t there moments where a guy like crashes in the corner like, ‘Oh my God, it’s all my mom’s fault!’ Shut up! Stop! Move forward!
  3. On His Plans To Sue The Show For Stopping Production
    “They’re trying to destroy my family, so I take great umbrage with that. And defeat is not an option. They picked a fight with a warlock.”
  4. Why He Deserves a $3 Million Paycheck for Two and a Half Men
    “I’m tired of pretending I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars. People can’t figure me out. They can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain.”
  5. On Being A “Winner”
    “I’m sorry, man, but I’ve got magic. I’ve got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time — and this includes naps — I’m an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.”
  6. On His Substance Abuse Issues
    “I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. It’s too much.”
  7. On Comments Made By Two and a Half Men Creator Chuck Lorre
    “I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”
  8. On His Wife Brooke Muller’s Restraining Order
    “Great. I was already planning on staying 100 parsecs away from her.” (A parsec is a unit of length equalling 3.26 light-years.)
  9. On His Porn Star Girlfriends The Goddesses
    “Let me say this about the Goddesses, I don’t think the term is good enough, but when you’re bound by these terrestrial descriptions, you must use the best term available. So if you think about it, dude, I’m 0-for-3 in marriage, but like in baseball, the scoreboard doesn’t lie. Never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the hearts. And to sully, contaminate, or radically disrespect this unit with a shameful contract is something I’ll leave to the amateurs and bible grippers.”
  10. On the Possibility of Relapsing
    “No. Not going to. Period. The end. I blinked and I cured my brain. Can’t is the cancer of happen.”
